Nygus and Sid soon walked in to take Soul to Shibusen. "Now, I wasn't the kind of man to interrupt a kiss between two people, but we do have to take him back to the DWMA." Sid said standing there looking at the young lovers. "Yeah, ok Sid." Maka replied, upset that she would now be separated from her new boyfriend. "Hey, don't worry Maka. I'm sure they'll let you visit all you want, and then I'll get to go home soon." Soul said showing her his sharp grin. Maka smiled and nodded. Nygus opened the lab doors and a few people from Shibusen came in and put Soul on a stretcher and walked him out of Stein's house and loaded him into the ambulance to take him to the DWMA, Maka at Soul's side the whole way there.
That night Maka was in the death room with lord death and Spirit, who was bound. "Now, Maka tell me what happened leading up to Soul being injured." Lord death said softly. Maka looked at her father before sharing their night. She told him about the notes and the gifts and finally the dinner, "We were eating, Soul planned this as my special birthday dinner when papa came and started calling Soul a bastard and punched him." Lord death just looked over at Spirit who looked at his feet, ashamed of ruining his daughter's birthday. "Go on…" Death told her. "After papa hit him, Soul got up and told papa how he felt about me." Blushing Maka continued, "Soul put him arm around me and papa got mad and that's when he turned his arm into a scythe and went after Soul. He pushed me away and turned his arm into a scythe to defend himself and ended up battling papa until papa stabbed him." At this point she was ready to cry again at remembering him getting hurt over her. Spirit couldn't look at her, knowing just how bad he hurt her. Stein then walked in, "The damage done to Soul was life threatening. The kids brought Soul to my lab, where I preformed emergency surgery to repair the wound caused by sempai." "How is he currently?" Death questioned. "Resting, he seems to be fine now. I expect him to make a full recovery." Stein replied looking at Maka out the corner of his eye. She hid her eyes behind her bangs, as they began to water with relief. "Oh my, I forgot to give this to Nygus." Stein exclaimed dryly, holding up a bottle of pills. "Maka, could you take this to her? She's in the infirmary." Maka nodded taking the bottle and rushed from the death room.
Knocking on the door to the infirmary, Maka couldn't help but smile. "Oh, Maka. What can I do for you?" Nygus asked once she opened the door. "Professor Stein forgot to give this to you." She handed over the bottle. "Oh, it's Soul's medicine." Nygus said putting it on the desk just next to the door. "Would you like to see him?" She asked. Maka nodded before following Nygus to Soul's bed, where he lay fast asleep. His hair messier than it had been, if that was possible, and his audible breathing told Maka he was fine. "Can I stay a little while?" "Sure, I'll be over at the desk if you need anything." Nygus smiled before leaving them alone. 'Thank goodness he's ok. I was so afraid.' Maka thought taking a seat by his bed, holding his hand she found herself slowly dozing off.
"Maka? What are you doing here?" A voice asked. Maka slowly opened her eyes. "Soul? Where are we?" She asked looking around, she recognized the black room. Soul stood there in his pinstriped suit, with his hands in his pockets, his crimson eyes meeting her own pale green ones. "Is this the same room from when we used Soul resonance?" Soul just nodded, "Yeah, it's a little different now though." He smiled. "How?" She asked tilting her head slightly to the left. "Well there's a couch now, and the little demon is gone. So what are you doing here?" Soul said leading her to the red couch with black legs. "I don't know… I came to see you in the infirmary and I was holding your hand when I dozed off and then woke up here." She said looking around. "I'm sorry, that's my fault. I was thinking about you and I guess that's what brought you here." He said sitting beside her. "It's ok; I don't mind being here with you." Maka smiled resting her head on his shoulder. "So what's going on out there?" He asked, referring to their world outside of his mind. "Well, I think Lord Death is gonna punish papa. I was in the death room for the last twenty minutes." She looked down at her lap. She found herself to be wearing a black dress that tied behind her neck and black gloves with small heels to match.
"Hey, wanna dance?" Soul asked standing up and offering her his hand. Smiling, Maka nodded and stood up. "Sorry papa ruined our date…" she said as he began to lead them around the floor. "Don't apologize for what he did." He told her as he looked into her eyes. "It's my fault though; he attacked you because I said I was your Maka." She looked down. Soul stopped, "You really need to learn that not everything that happens is your fault." He said lifting her chin with his knuckle to make her look at him. "I love you; I want to always be with you. If that means getting stabbed by your dad a few times, then fine by me." He smirked. "Why do you always have to be so cool?" Maka asked hugging him. "It's who I am." He grinned holding her closer to him.
