Once again, I keep having that same dream over and over in my sleep. I will never understand how a simple dream could be something that is beyond that of any persons reason of why we have them. I hate this dream. I't teasing me, and I hate it. But on the other had I love it so much that I hate that it's a dream and I hope that it will become a reality. But it won't.

Soul told me that he loves me.

Silly right? That is never going to happen.

How is it that you can love someone so much that your mind can tell you the things that you want to hear from them. Haha. I hate my mind sometimes. But right now, I'm hating Soul a little more than my brain. He's staring at me with those eyes that I can never read but love. And every once in a while, he smiles and changes his position. the hell is he thinking about? I want to know what's on that amazing mind of his. Surly he won't tell me, but then again, he might. He tells me everything,

Well...almost everything.


"What do you think about Kidd?" he asked bluntly as they sat on the couch doing nothing at all.

"I think he's an amazing guy."

"Really now?"

"Yes."

" Why do you like about this guy so much? Besides the two of you are a bunch of nerds."

"His personality. Why are you asking me so many questions?"

"Maybe because I wanted to." he smirked showing some of his sharp teeth.

She wanted to attack him right then and there for being so sexy but that didn't happen, instead, she got up and was going to go into her room until her caught her hand. Not only did she find him more than attractive right now, but he was getting on her nerves with asking tons of questions about Kidd. She found it very annoying. Why was he asking her so much stuff about Kidd anyway? She wanted to know, but she didn't ask. But she got her answer much sooner than she'd hoped.

"Maka it's okay if you like Kidd no need to get all upset about it." he still teased.

Maka snapped her head back and was letting a few trigger words ring in her head. Like and Kidd. She snatched her arm away from him in one swift second and Soul was slightly surprised by her speed. He was also surprised by her angered expression right now as didn't understand the point of her being angry right now at all. He thought that he only pointed out he obvious and that she would be slightly embarrassed about it, but not glaring at him the way she did with daggers in her eyes ready to fire at him.

"Kidd? You think I have a thing for Kidd?" She said with her voice almost cracking.

"How would I not think that? He's a cool guy and all so I won't mind if you date him."

Soul said it with such a straight face and with all seriousness that she found herself fighting with herself to not believe that he didn't care. But the sad truth is, he didn't care if she were to be with Kidd because in his mind, it was here life and he had no right to tell her who and who not to be with. It wasn't his place to tell her how to live her life.

"Where the hell is this coming from?"

"Don't act stupid Maka. The way the two of you hang all over each other and how the two of you could talk until the end of time. It's obvious that the two of you like each other."

"Maybe it's because he and I can talk to each other about things that you and I can't talk about." she became definitive at this point.

"How come?"

"Because you think that everything that I like or want to talk about is BORING!"

"All you want to talk about are books and history and all of that pointless crap that no one cares about."

"See? This is why I never talk to you about these things because your attitude sucks."

"Says you. You don't like anything that I like either!"

"I still sit and listen to you talk about them and ask a question here and there about it! You completely blow me off!"

Soul didn't say a word. His mouth was dry for words and his mind could thing of nothing to say because she was right. She did always talk to him about things that he loved and with her being a good friend, she just listened to him. He sighed heavily and fell back on the couch with his head thrown back. Maka was seeing how he was thinking of what she just told him. But no matter how much see thought about it, she was still going to be pissed at him at the fact that he thought she had a thing for Kidd.

"I'm going to my room." Maka turned on her heels and began to walk to her room.

"It's still okay..." Soul said getting her attention. But she didn't turn to face him. She couldn't face him at this moment because she felt that she was on the brink of tears. That was the last thing that she wanted him to see was her crying right now and then have to explain to him why.

Meaning that she would have to admit her feelings to him. And now was not the time for that to happen.

"You don't get it Soul...I don't like him that way...and you're stupid for thinking that." she said with a voice with no hint of any emotion. She said no more before retreating to her room.

She shut the door behind her and went to her bed. She was lying across it and let her tears finally trail down her cheeks. Soul was an idiot in her eyes right now. Kidd? Really? Here she'd been thinking about him all this time and he'd only been thinking about she and heart sank and she felt hurt. Just the fact of him thinking that killed her on the inside but for him to say it...that was a pain that she could not explain. She stayed in her room and cried silent tears. She didn't want him to know that she was in her room crying because that would have to lead to a confession.


Tsubaki was sitting on her bed while she was on the phone with Maka. She listened to everything that she was saying and didn't bother to ask questions at the moment. She just listened. She could hear in her voice how she'd been crying and knew why she was crying. She understood that Maka knew that her worst fear had finally came to the light. Soul didn't feel the same way about Maka. She talked to her until she was able to calm her mind. Even thought it took hours to do, Tsubaki didn't mind at all. She wanted her friend to calm down the best way possible and if that meant talking out her feelings, then she was going to listen every second of the way.

When Tsubaki ended her conversation with her, she went outside and sat outside in a near-by tree. She was staring out into the view of the city and was wondering how she was going to help her dear friend. She didn't know if she wanted to tell her that one day it will work out and she will end up with him, or tell her to just drop her feelings for him and give Kidd a chance. But she knew that she would never be able to say any of those things to her. She tried to push the thoughts away, but she just only thought about Maka.

"Hey."

Tsubaki jumped from the the feel of Blackstar's hands wrapping around her waist and sat behind her. She didn't hear him at all but she should have been use to that by now. Even when the two of them were walking side by side, she couldn't hear his footsteps. He was a dangerous, yet beautiful man in her eyes.

"Don't scare me like that." She said lying back on him and resting her head on his chest.

"What's on your mind? I know that you were talking to Maka for a long time. Is she okay?"

She let out a heavy sigh. "No. She's not. She's really upset right now. Soul just basically told her that she needs to date Kidd."

"What's wrong with that? Doesn't see have a thing for him?"

"No! She's in love with Soul!" Tsubaki exclaimed while getting out of hims grip and turning to face him. His eyes were wide with surprise.

"WHAT?! But he thinks that she likes Kidd!"

"I know that Blackstar I just said that!"

But-How come-when did-but they.." he stammered and Tsubaki but her hand over his mouth to stop him from talking by covering his mouth.

"Don't ask anymore questions right now. All I know is that she is really, really hurt right now." she lowered her eyes and removed her hand from Blackstar's mouth. "But, I know how she feels. Or at least, I can imagine it."

"How?" Blackstar's voice was low and sympathetic.

"Think of it like this, that would be like me loving you, no matter how long it has been, and you tell me that you would rather see me with another man."

Blackstar moved closer to her and lifted her chin and kissed her lips deeply. The kiss didn't last as long as she wanted it to but when he parted from her lips, he held her close in his arms.

"I would have never said that to you. Because I'm the only man that can have you. Soul is just...not himself right now. He's dealing with something on his own right now and he just doesn't know what to do or say. But one thing he does think about Maka...is that she is too good for him.
