A/N: A follow, a favourite and a review! Yay! Thank you!
I ran after Maka, unsure and afraid. This soul wavelength was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. Not even in a good way- definitely bad. It sent shivers of fear up my spine, made me terrified for my life.
"Maka... care... to explain?" I panted, slightly out of breath.
"The soul! It's a witch's!" she yelled back. My eyes widened- I knew that one of the main purposes of the academy was to defend against witches. Eventually, Maka stopped.
"Nurse Medusa!" she said, with surprise evident in her tone. I frowned, oh, she would have something to do with this. Of course she would. I stepped out from behind Maka and gave a sarcastic smile at the nurse.
"Hello, nurse Medusa." I said, turning around to see Stein.
"Professor!" I exclaimed.
"Naturally. Where else would I be if a witch released soul protect?" he said.
"One hell of a meister." I muttered.
"I like that one!" he said.
"Taken, I'm afraid." I replied. He frowned.
"By who?"
"I don't know." I gave him a look, and he frowned.
"Well, I'm getting back to the apartment. See you... oh, Soul, Katie." I said.
"What... the hell... was that about?" Katie asked. I sighed.
"Witch. Well, two witches." I said. Katie frowned.
"Where Medusa is." she said. I nodded.
"Yeah."
"Suspicious?"
"Definitely."
"Stein is too. He's being subtle, but he is." she nodded in their direction.
"Yeah." I agreed, before sighing.
"Back to Soul and Maka's place?" I asked, back to my usual perky self. Katie nodded.
"Right, now, away from that small interruption... next 7 minutes!" announced Liz. I didn't like the sound of that. She looked around mischievously. She knew something I didn't.
"Kid!" she said. Kid blushed furiously and I felt something bubble up within me. Jealousy.
"Umm... Liz... I don't think..." he bumbled, before looking around. His eyes landed on me. He held a hand out.
I almost died.
I took his hand and followed him into the closet. He was really close.
"This is awkward." I laughed breathlessly. He did too, before descending his lips on mine.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back. His arms were around my waist, and soon I felt his lips sucking on my neck, first one side, then the other. of course- the symmetry. His lips returned to my own, and I felt him playing with the hem of my shirt. His hands slipped below...
... and the door opened.
I was breathless and flushed- although from embarrassment or... otherwise I couldn't tell. I gave a smile to Maka, who was at the door looking shocked. I sighed and left the room, giving a smile to all there.
"C'mon Katie, let's go." I said, still flushed. I turned to Kid and gave a small smile, before walking out.
I wore a scarf the next day, because let's face it, word travels fast around here and if anyone saw love bites on my neck, word would get to Lord Death and he would figure it out. I got into class and sat down next to Kid, who was silent. I wondered if he was embarrassed, or ashamed. It hurt me. I drew my scarf more around my neck. He didn't even look at me.
Class droned on for a few more moments, before it finally ended. I went down the stairs only to hear Maka and Doctor Stein having a conversation about getting stronger, and I gave a slight smile at Katie, who nodded.
"We'll give it a try." I said. The Professor seemed a little surprised, but nodded nonetheless.
"Right, you'll be going after Soul and Maka. Come at about five."
At exactly five, we arrived back at school.
"At school, after hours. Really?" Katie said. I smirked.
"Yep." I replied, before going into the room. Doctor Stein explained some risks and we nodded, understanding them all. We faced each other.
"Okay, so basically point out the other's flaws." he said. My mouth gaped open.
"Wait- so you called us here to insult each other?" Katie said. Stein nodded and I sighed.
"You're too morbid." I said to her. She glared at me.
"Well, at least I don't look like a walking puffball!" she replied.
"You did not just insult my hair."
"Uh, I think you'll find I did."
"Flat chest!" I yelled.
"Like you can talk, bitch!" she yelled back
"Oh look, it's the pot. I'm the kettle!" I said. She frowned.
"What?" she asked. I smirked.
"A little thick, are we today?" I asked. I saw tears form in her eyes and she stormed from the room. I sighed.
"Oh fuck."
