A/N: Hey guys so this chapter is a little weird because everyone is off doing their own things, so I'm just gonna break this chapter up into a writing style that more resembles GoT and my friend Geneva38's writing styles so that way you know who's doing what. This is probably a one time thing so if you don't like stories written like that, it's only for one chapter. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 23: Training

Kai/Bella and Black*Star/Tsubaki

Bella held Kai in his weapon form as Black*Star held Tsubaki in hers. They were being serious as Black*star insisted having her in her uncanny sword mode for the practice.

"Watch his movements Bella, he is very fast, once you lose sight of him, he'll have a greater advantage." Kai explained as he opened a cut in his hand. The blood began to slowly trickle out to the blade and began to crackle to life into a red lightning that spanned the blade with Kai's blood resonance.

"You sure you should be doing that, what about Malus?" Bella asked concerned Kai would turn from the resonance.

"It's fine, we're wearing the gauntlets that Joe made us, so you can suppress him with your wavelength.
" Kai responded, not in the least worried. Bella simply nodded and moved into a neutral stance, ready to either attack or defend.

Mifune walked in between the two combatants and their weapons. He looked at the students who were itching to get started.

"Now this only a training match to prepare you for the battle, you are not trying to defeat the other by seriously injuring them or killing them." Mifune began, "Black*Star, in this match I want you to practice your restraint so you don't leave yourself open, Bella and Kai, you two are going to develop a fighting style were Kai switches in between weapon and human forms so that you can be even more effective as a team." Mifune finished explaining, with that he walked away from the combatants and took a seat on a near by bench.

Bella and Black*Star began circling each other, Bella knew it was only a matter of time before Black*Star's patience ran out and he would try to make the first move. Sure enough her patience was rewarded with Black*Star charging towards her at an incredible speed. She quickly moved Kai into a defensive position just as Black*Star tried striking her with Tsubaki. The weapons clashed and where locked in a struggle between the two meisters.

"You should just give up Bella, you can't beat a big star like me." Black*Star taunted as Bella began to lose ground. Bella began to try and put all she had into turning the struggle around.

"Bella," Kai said, his eyes appeared in the blade staring at her, "you ready?" He asked as blood began to crackle like lightning even more.

"Yeah, do it now!" Bella said desperately, Kai's eyes disappeared back into the blade the again.

"Legacy Sky Strike!" Kai and Bella yelled, just then the blade's blood slithered onto Bella and made her break the struggle, she sidestepped Black*Star and hit him in the chest with the blunt edge of Kai. Black*Star was knocked into the air in shock and struggled to recover from the blow.

"Bella, throw me!" Kai yelled, Bella nodded and through him into the air, as Kai travelled towards the ninja he shifted back into human form with Nox already in hand. Black*Star barely got Tsubaki into a defensive position before Kai hammered him with multiple strikes. Kai's cut hand glowed with his blood resonance as he spread the blood on Nox, the blood covered blade glowed with the soul charged blood.

"Black*Star be careful!" Tsubaki yelled, but it was too late for the ninja to do anything he watched as Kai prepared to attack him.

"Blood bomb!" Kai yelled as he swung his blade towards Black*Star, the drops of blood that came off the blade erupted into small, but powerful explosions that sent Black*Star flying back to the ground.

"Let me out Kai, I can make this victory quick!" Malus said as he began his possession of Kai's body.

"BELLA!" Kai yelled as he cringed in pain from trying to suppress his insane personality. Bella understood what was going on and jumped to Kai. Both their gauntlets began to glow with light as they entered a soul resonance.

"Fine have it your way." Malus said as he began to fade. Kai switched back into his katana form drained from the sudden dissipation of Malus.

"You ok?" Bella questioned as she grabbed Kai's handle.

"Yea, but no more Blood Resonance for a bit, only when we need it." Kai said, fatigue had crept into his voice.

"Ok, but I think I'll be able to handle it from now with the soul resonance active ok?" Bella said as she began to descend.

"Yeah." Kai responded.

Black*Star had regained his balance and smiled over the challenge the two were putting him and Tsubaki through.

"Black*Star be careful, they are very tough." Tsubaki warned, Black*Star simply shrugged her warning off as he jumped into the air towards Bella. They both swung their weapons towards each other and began trying to strike each other. The sound of the blades hitting and smashing each other rang throughout the room, a crowd of spectators had formed around the ring, watching as Bella and Black*Star fought in the air, suspended by the sheer power and speed of their strikes.

"Tsubaki, you ready?" Black*Star said as he pushed himself back to the ground.

"Yeah, go ahead." She replied as Black*Star grinned.

"Speed Star!" He yelled as he jumped to Bella, accelerating at an incredible rate.

Bella tried to block but was surprised to find that Black*Star had seemed to disappear. She looked around trying to located the assassin. Despite her search she was unable to find him.

"Where did he go?" She asked. Her question was immediately answered by the sound of Black*Star above her.

"Black Star Big Wave!" He yelled as he put his hand on Bella's back. In an instant she was brought to the ground by Black*Star's soul force.

"I told you to keep an eye on him!" Kai yelled as his eyes appeared back in the blade.

"Hey I tried, besides, at the rate we're going, I'll be too tired to continue for much longer." Bella shot back to her partner as she stood up and tried catching her breath.

"It's fine don't worry we got to end this." Kai said, his tone relaxed.

"So, you two ready to give up yet?" Black*Star grinned as he landed back on the ground.

"Not yet." Bella said as she panted. Black*Star charged her again and began to strike at her, she was losing her ground again.

"Bella now!" Kai yelled as the light blue blade began to crackle with the blood resonance's bloody red lightning.

"Right." Bella responded. "Soul Strike!" she yelled as she swung back hitting Tsubaki away and destabilizing Black*Star. As Black*Star began to turn in order to get Tsubaki and regain his balance, Bella dropped Kai, who shifted into his human form in a kneeling position, his eyes glowed bright blue from the soul resonance as he placed his hand on Black*Star's chest.

"Bloody Resonance Strike!" Kai yelled as the combined power of both Kai and Bella's souls rushed through Kai's blood and hit Black*Star with a powerful soul force. The hit threw Black*Star out of the ring and into a wall.

"You think we over did?" Bella asked as Kai stood up as his cut stopped bleeding and eyes returned to normal.

"I dunno let's wait and see." Kai responded. Tsubaki switched back to her human form and pushed past the spectators who looked at the assassin in awes from the sheer power of the attack.

"Black*Star, are you ok?" She asked frantically as she tried to pull Black*Star from the wall. He slowly woke up and looked around.

"Tsubaki..." Black*Star began, "that...was...AWESOME!" Black*Star yelled as he jumped from the wall. Kai and Bella began to laugh at his reaction. "Come on guys, round two, who's up for it?" He said as he ran back up to the ring.

"Where the hell do you get the energy?" Bella asked in disbelief.

"In a bit Black*Star, we need a breather, blood resonance takes a lot outta me." Kai explained.

"Alright you guys get five minutes." Black*Star said as he pointed to a clock. Kai dropped to the ground in pain and rose back up with pure white eyes and blood running down his face from them.

"Oh it's you..." Black*Star said as Malus had a wide smile creep onto his face.

"He'd be less tired if I was in control." He laughed, Black*Star rolled his eyes at the insane personality.

"Well then Malus, perhaps one day you and me can go at against each other in a sparring match." Black*Star taunted. Malus simply smiled at the assassin.

"I look forward to pitting the madness of Kai against the Madness of Star clan." Malus said as he bowed. He dropped again and Kai a rose.

"Sorry about that." Kai said ashamed Malus took control again.

"No worries, he's not really that bad." Black*Star returned, Kai and Bella laughed at Black*Star's statement.

"You should see him fight sometime." Kai said with a grin.

"Anyway your breaks up, you ready!" Black*Star yelled as he jumped back and grabbed Tsubaki again.

"Bring it!" Kai and Bella said together, and the two pairs began hammering each other once again.

Justin, Petra/Lyra

"So you think Justin will get here soon?" Petra asked, as she paced in front of her partner who was leaning against a tree.

"A little bit excited are we?" Lyra teased, Petra's face turned a little red.

"It's not like that, I mean, he's cute and all, and nice, and loves music, and smart..." Petra began getting lost in the thought of Justin, a big smile was on her face as she completely forgot what she was talking about.

"Yeah it's not like that at all?" Lyra said sarcastically, as she lightly punched Petra in the arm. Petra was getting mad at Lyra's accurate accusations.

"Oh just leave me alone, would ya!" Petra said as she turned around and crossed her arms, not particularly pleased with her weapon.

"Oh come on admit you like him and I'll leave you alone, I'll even tell you who I like." Lyra said as she physically turned Petra around. Justin was walking to the girls while removing his headphones and hid behind a tree so he could hear what they were talking about.

"Fine, I like Justin...a lot." Petra admitted as she dropped her arms in defeat, Lyra smiled at her partner, proud she finally admitted her feelings. Justin began blushing from behind the tree, he couldn't believe that Petra liked him back.

"So Lyra, who do you like?" Petra immediately questioned. Lyra simply turned and walked around for a bit.

"That guy who was in the death room, you know, the one in the Led Zepplin shirt, he was pretty cute." Lyra shrugged.

"Do you even know his name?" Petra asked, laughing since they've only seen him once.

"Ummm, Sci-something." Lyra said halfheartedly.

"His name is Scitus." Justin said as he stepped out from behind the tree.

"Thanks...how long were you there?" Lyra asked as she placed her hands on her hip.

"I just got here, I only heard you ask his name." Justin lied.

"Right..." Lyra responded unconvinced.

"So how'd you want this go?" Petra asked as she walked up to him.

"Um, well I figured we could work on our chain resonance together and then you guys can help me with my aim by sending those music notes for me to attack.

"Sounds easy, let's do it." Lyra responded as she transformed into her guitar mode.

The three began resonating their souls and formed a perfect chain resonance. During the resonance they began sending music notes around and Justin attacked them with his Law Abiding Silver Gun. Petra smiled as she watched Justin shoot down her notes, he noticed, blushed and smiled back. Despite the reason they were training, they were having fun. Hopefully the training would come in handy. Lyra looked at the two from her guitar form and couldn't help but smile.

"I swear if you two aren't together by the end of this, I'm slapping you both." She giggled to herself, Petra and Justin not taking any notice as they were lost in each other and the targets.

Darman/Amicus, Scitus/Carta, Azusa, and Stein

"Well that's it, I'm bored." Darman yelled as he tossed a thick book he had just finished reading onto the pile of massive books that had accumulated onto the table.

"You really don't have that great of an attention span, do you?" Carta asked sarcastically with half his face buried into a book about ancient war strategies and tactics.

"Sorry, but we're the get things done people," Amicus said as he tossed his book onto the pile, "not the, read books and plan people." He finished. He turned his head towards Stein and Scitus who were returning with a large stack of even more books. The Demon Cards and his meister groaned out of boredom as Stein through the two more books on tactics and history to read. A grin crept onto Scitus's face as he sat down and opened up a book about ancient witch runes and tomes.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you." Darman mumbled a loud as he opened up his book. Scitus looked up with an amused smile.

"What seeing a recon/demolition pair sit down and study for hours, upon hours, upon hours..." Scitus began to trail off as he looked back down into his book with his smile still intact.

"Yeah, you're enjoying this." Amicus said with an annoyed tone as he flipped through the pages, looking for something remotely interesting.

"Damn right we are." Carta laughed as he finished his book and grabbed another.

"If you all are finished with your banter, you still have half the restricted section to go through." Azusa said as she stood up from her seat, "I must go and report some of our findings to Lord Death." and with that, she left the library.

Stein tossed a book to Scitus which promptly hit him in the head. Darman and Carta contained their laughter as Scitus rubbed his head from the pain of the 4 inch thick history book making contact with his skull.

"What did you do that for!" Scitus yelled in anger at the professor.

"Page 416, paragraph 3." Stein responded as he looked through the stack of books he brought. Scitus flipped to the page and spot Stein mentioned and went wide eyed at what he read. He nudged Carta's shoulder to get his attention.

"Take a look at this..." Scitus said as he showed the page to Carta, his right eyebrow arched in interest over what he was shown.

"Do you think that something like that would be possible today, would Lord Death even be willing?" Carta asked to nobody in particular. Darman and Amicus put their books down and looked at the three with confusion as to what they were talking about.

"What are you talking about?" Amicus asked, wanting to know what had them all so excited. Scitus turned to the two who were just joing the conversation and were anxious to know what they had found.

"A chain resonance..." Scitus began, "with Lord Death, one strong enough to shift an entire battlefield into whatever the partners desired." Scitus finished, he looked back towards Stein who was smiling at the prospect of such a powerful resonance.

"But who would do it?" Carta asked, " I mean, me and Scitus can't. You'd need to section something like that, as a Grimoire, I don't have a fine enough control for something like rearranging and trapping sections of a battlefield." He finished his explanation. Stein simply smiled and turned his gaze to the Demon cards.

"Carta and Scitus can't, but you two can." Stein said with a smile as he took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "I mean, he is already sectioned into...42?" Stein asked.

"52, 52 separate cards." Darman corrected, he slowly nodded as he was understanding what Stein was alluding too.

"Well..." Amicus began, "it would be like playing a matching game, except instead of matching cards your activating traps and morphing a landscape." Amicus smiled, he turned his attention to his meister. "You think we can handle that kind of power?" Darman simply smiled at the thought.

"One way to find out." Darman replied as he lifted his book and continued reading. The air in the room was a lot lighter now that they had something useful to give to Azusa when she returned. After awhile Amicus opened up a book that caught Darman's interest.

"The Techniques and Abilities of Meister and Weapons?" Darman laughed as he read the title. Amicus punched him in the shoulder, signalling for him to shut up. After a few moments of scanning pages Amicus found something interesting.

"Hey Stein?" The professor lifted his gaze to the weapon.

"What is it?" Stein responded as he placed his book down on the stack carefully.

"Where have I heard this term "Blood Meister" before?" Amicus asked, thinking that he had for sure heard it somewhere.

"Ah yes, Kai Vesania, he's our local Blood Meister, a very ability for a weapon to possess." Stein answered.

"I see, well is it true that he can use the collected knowledge and experience of the lineage of his bloodline, or anyone in his blood for that matter?" Amicus asked, trying to clarify.

"Yes it is, why are you..." Stein stopped mid sentence as he caught on to what Amicus was subtly implying.

"So Professor, you think it could work?" Amicus smiled, all of them turned towards Stein who was grinning like a madman.

"Of course, Darman, Amicus, get me a vial of blood from everyone Kai knows at this school, Soul Evans, Maka Albarn, Mifune, Death The Kid, the Thompson sisters, Black*Star and Tsubaki, Petra Suavis, and Lyra Stratocaster, all of them, when your finished I'll summon all four of you to my lab so you can donate as well." Stein said as he stood up from his seat, "This will be our trump card, our secret weapon, now I must go and make preparations and begin my calculations to ensure the effects last long enough for the battle." Stein said as he rushed off.

"Alright let's go!" Darman said as he began to run with Amicus out of the library. Scitus and Carta stood up.

"We should go tell Lord Death and Azusa immediately!" Carta said, Scitus nodded and the two made their way to the Death Room.

Maka/Soul

Maka and Soul walked to the side of the class and took a seat on a bench now that their demonstration was over. Soul leaned back on the bench and shut his eyes trying to take a nap, while Maka watched all the NOT students learn the basics of combat from Sid as he directed them into proper stance, and basic techniques.

"Do you think that they'll have a chance Soul?" Maka asked as she scanned the room, Soul opened his eyes and did the same.

"I dunno, probably," Soul began to reassure her," after all, it's not like they'll be the main force, they'll be broken off into groups with EAT students who'll keep an eye on them." Soul finished as he shut his eyes again.

"Well still, I can't help but feel bad for them..." Maka said as she looked down to the ground, tears started welling up into her eyes, "I mean, they came here to learn how to live with their abilities, not fight battles and be hero's."

"Can you stop crying, it's really uncool, I said that they'll be ok," Soul once again tried to reassure her, but to no avail. He leaned forward to think for a minute. " Kai thinks that they can do it, he wouldn't have said they'd need to help if he didn't think they could." Soul finished as he placed a hand on Maka's shoulder. At the very mention of Kai's name she looked up.

"I guess your right, but how does he know?" Maka questioned, Soul groaned realizing that he wasn't going to be getting his power nap anytime soon.

"Look Maka, he isn't sure, but he knows, without their help, all the EAT students will be overwhelmed." Soul put it bluntly, this didn't help things as Maka looked at him with shock.

He has to be sure, it puts a lot of people in danger." Maka said almost in tears now from the thought of her boyfriend being the cause of so many injuries. It was clear to Soul that pressure of the upcoming battle was getting to Maka.

" Look, he knows the cost, he doesn't like it, but he is, albeit hard to believe, scared." Soul began, Maka looked at him confused and waited for him to explain. "Look at it, we're going against a full army with a Kishin at it's head, On our way here I saw how intensely he was training with Black*Star in the training room."

"Yea, I've heard some rumours that they were really going at it in the halls on lunch." Maka smiled, thinking about Kai beating Black*Star down. Her thought was cut short by two three-star meister whom she recognized burst into the room.

"You two, what is the meaning of this, it's the middle of third period!" Sid yelled at the intruders.

"Sorry but we need to speak with a Maka Albarn and Soul "Eater" Evans!" The one with the red shirt explained, with the sense of urgency in his voice, Sid agreed to allow the two to see what the two boys wanted. Maka and Soul followed the boys into the hall.

"Weren't you guys busy with Stein?" Soul immediately asked recognizing them from the Death Room.

" Yea, names Amicus, and this is my meister Darman, Stein sent us here to get a vial of blood from you." Amicus explained , Soul and Maka looked at each other confused and concerned.

"Stein needs blood samples of everyone so he can create the ultimate weapon." Darman said bluntly, not really alluding to why they were taking their blood.

"Um, ok who's this weapon for?" Maka asked as she allowed Amicus to put the needle in her arm. She watched as he blood pour into the vial.

"The weapon is for Kai Vesania, he'll use a serum created by Stein to gain access to all of our powers and abilities through his blood resonance." Darman explained as he prepared the next vile for Soul.

"Wait so your going to use our blood for this weapon?" Soul asked as the needle was placed into his arm. He watched as the vile filled with black blood, Darman and Amicus looked at each other concerned. "Don't worry he'll be able to use it to his advantage." Soul finished explaining.

"Just be careful, I don't want anything to happen to him..." Maka said as she got up to return to the class. Darman and Amicus nodded giving her a silent promise for Kai's safety. As the two boys ran off in order to collect more vials, Maka and Soul walked in to see Sid lecturing the class on how the day of the battle would play out and the probabilities that they would be injuried if they didn't fight as hard as they could.

"You think this serum thing is a bad idea?" Soul asked as he took his seat beside Maka at the side of the class.

"I dunno Soul, all I want is for Kai to be safe." Maka responded in a somber tone. Soul moved into his usual position with his hands behind his head and shut his eyes as if he was going to sleep.

"Stop worrying, if all else fails, Malus will handle things." Soul teased trying to use the insane version of Kai as a form of comfort.

"That's what worries me." Maka mumbled to herself so Soul couldn't hear her. She didn't like Malus, for what he stood for, what he turned Kai into, and the fact that not even he could help Kai defeat Ruina.

Lord Death, Lamia, Kid/Liz/Patty

Lord Death watched in his mirror as the organization efforts of Lamia and Kid were taking effect, in an organized and symmetrical manor. He turned around to look at the witch, his son, and partners. They where worn out from the large measures that they had put into moving the citizens to safety. As the teens reached the platform, Lamia fell to ground with her arms spread out and sighed loudly as Kid and Liz did the same.

"Well that was exhausting." Lamia said as she closed her eyes.

"At least they'll be away and safe until after the battle." Kid said as he caught his breath. This was short lived as he began yelling at Patty to lie down as well to keep the symmetry. After a small break down Patty finally agreed.

"Well I hope you four know you did a good thing." Lord Death said as he looked over the four worn out teens.

"Do you think it's going to be enough to keep everyone safe?" Liz asked concerned over their efforts in the evacuation.

"Of course they were, and I'm sure if anyone can protect them afterwards, it's you and Kid!" Patty yelled enthusiastically as she jumped up. Lamia giggled at her outburst, she's never seen anyone with so much energy before.

"So Lamia, you think the battle will be difficult for you?" Lord Death asked as he approached the witch. She sat up and curled her self into a ball with her back to the guillotine hallway.

"Truth is, I don't know," Lamia answered, "I mean these are the people who tortured me so I could keep them hidden, but now I get to fight back." Lamia smiled, finally able to make things right after what she had been forced to do.

"Well Lamia, I'm sure you'll get your chance, but we'll also need you to be a healer with you magic as well." Lord Death responded to her. She looked up to him with a determined smile and a fire in her eye.

"Anything I can do to help, I will!" Lamia said with a smile on her face. Kid looked at her and smiled at her determination.

"Just be careful ok..." a boys voice said from behind her, it took her by shock, but when she turned around, she saw Amicus and Darman.

"Hello, what's up boys?" Lord Death greeted the two with a wave of his hand. The pair bowed to the reaper in respect and approached him.

"Two things actually, Stein sent us here to collecct blood from Kid, Liz, Patty, and Lamia for a project he's working on." Darman explained, the reaper tilted his head to the right as if to show that he was confused.

"Should I be worried?" Lord Death asked cautiously, as if anyone could attack them at any moment.

"Nope." Darman simply responded, Lord Death clapped his large hands together and cocked his head back into a vertical position.

"Splendid, and what is the other thing?" Lord Death asked, the two shifted their weights back and forth trying to figure out how to ask the question.

"Well you see, in order to protect the buildings of Death City and properly set up traps we need to soul resonate...with you..." Amicus stated wearily as he inject the needle into Kids arm, everyone looked at the two as if they were crazy.

"You do know resonating with father is extremely dangerous right?" Kid informed them as Amicus removed the needle.

"Yes we know, but we have to try, besides it's not like we have any other options." Darman responded as he finished taking the blood from Liz.

"I see, well, if it's what we have to do, we have to try it..." Lord Death said as he turned around to look into his mirror, "I just hope your souls will be strong enough to resist my soul."

"We'll do our best too." Darman and Amicus both replied as they finished up with Patty and Lamia. Amicus began to turn away from Lamia but stopped as she caught his arm, he turned around to see tears in her eyes.

"Please be careful..." She said as she tried to hold the saddness in her voice back. Amicus wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Amicus smiled at her, she felt reassured but still scared at the same time, and with that the two boys ran down the hallway to Stein's Lab.

"Those two, better be ready." Kid said as he looked off in the direction that they ran. The air in the room was heavy with the revelation of the plan, and none of them wanted to have a bad ending result.

Kai/Malus

Kai walked down the hall to his dorm to pick up a movie he was bring to Maka and Soul's for one of the last group hang outs they'll have after the battle. He thought about everything that had happened, him stopping his parents, the walking the border between madness and sanity, his redeemed soul, and most importantly his friends.

"You know you can't stop them from getting hurt." An all to familiar voice rang out from behind Kai, he turned around to see himself, only what he looked like as Malus.

"I know, but I can at least try my best, they mean a lot to me." Kai responded to himself. Malus simply scoffed at his remark.

"Oh please, they're only people," Malus responded, Kai eyed him out of anger over his comment, "But still, even I have grown attached to them in a way." He smiled, Kai was taken aback by the sincerity in his voice.

"Are you feeling ok Malus?" Kai asked worriedd about his other self. Malus laughed wickedly as he usually did.

"Really, I'm you dumb ass! You know how I feel." He laughed loudly over the redundant question.

"True." Kai responded as he turned around to walk away.

"You can't walk away from me, I am inside your head." Malus informed him, slightly annoyed at his attempt.

"I know, that...Malus?" Kai asked, a sound of regret entered his voice. Malus looked at his counterpart closely, anticipating what he was going to say. "I'll need your power combined with my own..." Kai said, Malus smiled wickedly, but he understood that circumstances as they were, Kai was right.

"I'll help, after all they are my friends to, even if they themselves don't know it." Malus grinned, Kai felt relieved to hear that answer."Mind you I'm still going to get my own play time when your recovering energy, but when you need to fight the bitch, we'll work together...some how." Malus stated, Kai rolled his eyes, he knew that was the more likely response.

"Fine, but you will not harm anyone especially-" Kai began to warn.

"Maka, yes yes I know." Malus finished for him, "Well as fun and touching as this chat has been, you need to get going and have probably your last moments with your friends before we all die." Malus said with a smile on his face.

"Gee thanks, that is very thoughtful of you to say." Kai responded sarcastically. Malus grinned as he stepped in front of Kai.

"Anytime." Malus finished, and with that he dissipated into nothing. Kai continued his walk to his dorm. Angela was asleep on the couch with her dolls strewn around her. He smiled and tucked the little witch into bed and got the movie. All he could think about was what Malus said on how it could be his last time with them.

"Stop it Kai, get those thoughts out of your head." He told himself as he left the dorm and proceeded to walk back down the hall. "But still I better make the most out of this last time..." Kai finished before he ran a full sprint down the corridors and out into the cool night air.

A/N: Alright so this s the longest chapter I have ever written. At least I can get to the good stuff now and begin the ultimate battle. I can't wait to write this, it has been circling in my head for weeks and now I'm so close. On another note I'd like to wish a happy birthday to the girl who was the inspiration of Bella, I know it's not till Saturday but you work then so, happy early birthday. As usual let me know what you think in the reviews or private message, I would very much like to hear how the closing of my first fan fiction is going. Until next time, see ya :)
