A/N: I am so happy for the reviews I got for chapter one! I took all of your advice with great consideration. I have the whole story completed. It is just taking me a little longer to type each chapter up and upload them. So I am aiming for new chapters to be uploaded every three days. Anyway, here is chapter two. Enjoy my wonderful fans!


Chapter Two

On my way to Shibusen, I thought about how I would explain my injuries to Professor Stein. 'Maybe I could say I tried to practice for the exam but fell on the table in my living room. That would explain the injuries surrounding my stomach and the injuries on my legs. But it would not explain the injuries around my neck and face. Wait. Since I have the foundation covering my neck and face, I don't need to explain them. Professor Stein isn't going to ask to see my face, right?' As I was thinking this, I didn't realize I had the reached the entrance doors to the school, until BlackStar called my name. I looked up to see him and Tsubaki waiting for our group to arrive.

*BlackStar's POV*

"Yo, Maka! How's it going?" I asked her as she reached the doors deep in thought.

"I am good. How about you Star-Star?" she asked me using the nickname she gave me when we were little kids.

"Awww! Come on Maka! You know how much I hate that nickname!" I exclaimed with a whine.

Maka just looked at me for a moment, then burst into giggles. Tsubaki looked between me and Maka, then started giggling along with Maka. I looked at both of them then realized there was no choice left but to join in on the fun.

Once our giggling and laughing had finally come to a stop, I responded to Maka. "Anyway, I'm good. Nothing can bring down this god!"

Maka just rolled her eyes at me. "BlackStar, you are really egoistic. Do you ever think about anything but surpassing God?" she asked with a playful smirk on her face.

"Let me think about it for a moment. Uhh, nope. That is pretty much all I think about. So where is Soul? Couldn't get him to get up and eat breakfast with you? Or did Blair show up and ruin the show?" I asked.

The moment I asked that, the air around us turned tense and strained. Maka immediately went rigid and her smile vanished in a flash.

"Maka? Did something happen?" I asked feeling concern for my best friend.

"N-No. Nothing happened." she replied.

"Uh huh. I am not convinced Maka. What happened between you and Soul?" I said with a firm expression on my face.

"We just got into an argument last night, that's all. We couldn't agree on whose turn it was to cook and we ended up fighting. Soul said that it my turn to cook, but I said it was his. Things were said, and we went to bed angry. That's it." she replied, looking sad.

"Okay. I'm sorry care-bear. But things will get better soon. Why don't I talk to Soul later?" I asked using her nickname I gave her when we were little.

"No, no. Don't do that. I will talk to him later about it. And you're right. Things will get better." Maka said, looking she was trying to convince herself more than me. "Anyway BlackStar, I have to talk to Stein this morning. I have a question about our exams. See you in class later, Star-Star! Bye Tsubaki!"

Before I could even formulate an answer, Maka was already gone and walking through the doors. I stared after her, looking a little startled.

"BlackStar?" Tsubaki said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Yeah, Tsubaki?" I said.

"Have you noticed how much makeup Maka has been wearing these last few weeks?" she asked me.

"No. Wait. Yeah, I have noticed. Why do you ask?" I replied startled at the strangeness of her question.

"I ask because I am confused. Think it about BlackStar. How often does Maka normally wear makeup?"

"Not that often. I am still not getting your point here, Tsubaki." I said with confusion in my voice.

"Now think about how Maka reacted when you mentioned Soul a few minutes ago. She seemed distraught and scared. Now why would Maka feel that way about Soul if everything is "fine" between them. Unless-."

"Unless everything is not fine." I said cutting off Tsubaki.

"Exactly. Now we have to fgure out why. What do you think is happening between the two of them?" Tsubaki asked looking a bit worried.

"I don't know Tsubaki. Maybe they had a fight that ended badly. Or maybe-" I stopped talking when images started popping into my head. Maka wearing makeup to school the day after Kidd was crowned the next Shinigami. Maka flinching when I gave her a bear hug after I aced an exam. Maka with sad eyes while talking to our group. Maka flinching when Soul playfully pushed her in class. Soul looking at Maka with what looked like hate and disdain.

I went rigid at that last thought. At the time, I had just played it off as my eyes playing tricks on me. 'But they weren't tricks, were they? Soul has done something to Maka, resulting in him becoming hateful and her being scared. But what could he have done to make her so scared?' I thought to myself.

"BlackStar. BlackStar. BLACKSTAR!" Tsubaki yelled, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I said.

"You stopped talking in midsentence. Then you were just staring into space. What's wrong? Did you figure something out?" Tsubaki asked me.

"Something like that." I replied. I thought for a moment then said "Listen Tsubaki. You go ahead and go to class without me. I am going to go do something before class. If I am not back before class starts, don't worry." And then I ran into the school in hopes of finding Maka.

"Wait! BlackStar! What am I supposed to tell Professor Spirit?" Tsubaki exclaimed.

"Make something up!" I yelled back.

Tsubaki stood there for a moment, staring off in the direction BlackStar left. She stood there for a few minutes more, then walked into the school and headed to class. 'I wonder what that was about. BlackStar looked so sure about something. Almost like he had figured out the answer to my questions. Oh no. I hope he isn't planning on doing something mischievous! He can't afford to get any more detention!' she thought to herself as she walked into class and sat down.


What do you think BlackStar is planning on doing? Do you think he will try to get the truth out of Maka about Soul or will he simply tell her what he thinks is going on? Find out in the next chapter! Adios for now my darlings!– Sesshomaruslover17
