The next day Soul and Maka sat in the infirmary talking, "So what's gonna happen to your old man?" He questioned as he ate some jello. "I don't know, I yelled at him then ran here..." Maka answered as she turned the page of her newest book. "I can't thank you enough, Maka, You saved my life." Soul said softly looking into her eyes. "No Soul, thank you." She smiled. "For what?" he said putting down his jello. "For making my life amazing, and for coming back to me." She hid her face behind her book. "Aww come on Maka don't hide." Soul chuckled, pulling away her book. Maka's face was warm with blush. Soul slowly leaned in and softly kissed her lips. Kissing back, she closed her eyes and slid her hand to his hair.
"Achem..." Kidd cleared his voice. Pulling apart, they looked at him. "Hey Kidd," Soul waved while Maka hid her blush behind her hands. "Glad to see you're... up." Kidd smirked. "What do you want?" Soul asked loosing his charm as he placed his hands in his lap. "Father wishes to hear your side of all this." Kidd said as he strolled to the mirror beside Soul's bed. He wrote the numbers 42-42-564 on the mirror with his finger. Ringing for only a moment, lord death appeared. "Ah, Kidd you must be there with Soul," He observed. "Yes honorable father," Kidd handed the mirror to Soul. "Hey ya Soul, how ya feeling?" he asked in his normal bubbly voice. "Hey Lord Death. I'm alright I guess, since I'm still here." As he said this, Soul's free hand reached for one of Maka's. "Alright Soul, I would like to hear your side of what happened when you were attacked." Shinigama-sama stated. "Well Maka and I were having dinner when Spirit showed up," Soul told Lord death in detail what happened in the fight and what he felt when he was stabbed. Maka silently cried as she remembered how her father had attacked her boyfriend. "I see, thank you Soul. I must go now. Talk to ya later, bye!" Shinigama bubbled before the mirror went blank. "Don't cry Maka..." Soul said as he pulled her into him. Once in his embrace she cried more, finally letting out all she built up since he was stabbed. "Babe, I'm ok... I promise." He said softly in her hair. Kidd, feeling lost, organized the medicine in the infirmary till Maka finished crying.
A few days later, Soul was in Stein's office getting a checkup. "So, have you been feeling anything I need to know about?" Stein asked as he checked Sou's stitches. "No... I don't think so..." Soul answered. "Senpai's being trialed today..." Stein said as he turned to get some ointment. "Does Maka know this?" Soul asked looking at the door. Maka sat on the other side waiting for Soul. "I don't think she does. Are you going to go?" Stein asked as he applied the ointment to Soul's stitches. "Yeah, I want to know what his punishment is for stabbing a fellow death scythe." Soul replied as he flinched under the cold ointment. "She'll want to go too..." Stein told Soul. "Yeah, I know... But I don't know if that's best..." Soul frowned. "She's strong, I think she can handle it." Stein smiled. "Yeah, she is." Soul smirked. "Oh well, I'll see you at the hearing." Stein said standing up. Soul nodded and put his orange shirt on then his leather jacket. Opening the door, Soul looked down and saw Maka sitting against the wall. "Soul I-" She was cut off by Soul, "Well lets go eat before we go hear his trial." He looked down at her with soft smile. "Alright," She agreed. Helping her up, Soul rested his hand on Maka's hip. "Where do you want to eat?" she asked him. "How about he go for some Chinese." Soul said with a small drop of drool on his lip. Giggling, Maka agreed.
