Chapter Six
*Maka's POV*
There were two things I was absolutely sure of when I woke up. First, someone was carrying me. Second, we were flying in the air. As I glanced up, I was very surprised to see who was carrying me.
'Kidd.' I thought softly. For some reason, I found myself happy at the thought that it was Kidd carrying me. Kidd hadn't noticed I was awake yet, and I took that time to study his features.
'He has a strong jaw. And his nose is firm, not to mention kinda of cute. And his eyes. They are such a beautiful color. I could get lost in his golden orbs for days.' I thought smiling to myself.
The urge to touch his face was too much for me to resist and so I succumbed to it. I reached up with my right hand and touched Kidd's cheek. When my hand touched his cheek, I was shocked to find my hand immediately engulfed in warmness.
I had been staring so intently at Kidd's face, that I was startled when Kidd suddenly spoke.
"Ahhh. So you are awake. How are you feeling?" he asked with mirth in his voice.
"O-okay I guess." I stuttered out, extremely embarrassed.
"You sure? How are you injuries feeling? I'm not hurting you, am I?" Kidd asked, seemingly concerned for my well-being.
"No, no. You aren't hurting me. And my injuries feel much better." As I said this, I realized how true it was. I wasn't in much pain as I was this morning.
Kidd gave me a disbelieving look for a few moments, then spoke. "Really? You are not in any pain?"
"Not really. I mean, my stomach and chest still hurt a little. But the pain isn't as bad as it was this morning. And I still feel extremely exhausted." I said. Kidd stared at me with surprise. A look of recognition flashing across his face made me frown a little. 'Something's up. But what?'
"Well, I am certainly glad you are feeling better. You should go back to sleep. We will be arriving shortly at Gallows Manor." Kidd finally said to me.
"O-okay. Goodinght Kidd." I said with a yawn.
"Goodnight Maka. Rest easy." Kidd replied with a smile. I was quiet for a few minutes. But then something came to me.
"Kidd? Will you wake me up when we get there?" I struggled to ask, for sleep was trying to claim me.
"Yes, I will. Now sleep well." Kidd said to me. I stared at him for a moment longer, then I succumbed to the sleep.
*Kidd's POV*
As Maka laid sleeping in my arms, I thought about what she had said. When she said that she said she didn't really hurt that much anymore, I was suddenly reminded of the Legend of the Queen. 'I now truly believe that the legend is not a legend. That it is real. Now that I think about it, I remember a story Father once told me about Mother.'
*Fifteen years ago*
"Father?" said a very small Kidd.
"Yes, Kidd?" Lord Death said to his son.
"Will you tell me a story about Mother?"
Lord Death looked at his son with sad eyes. He knew how much the boy missed his mother. And this was the first time in a year that Kidd had ever asked to speak about his mother.
"Sure, Kidd. What would you like to hear?" Lord Death asked his son.
Kidd thought for a moment, but couldn't seem to come up with an answer.
"I'm not sure Father. Why can't you just pick a story to tell? Your favorite memory of Mother?" Kidd said to his Father with his big golden eyes.
"Alright. How about I tell you how I met Sakura?" Lord Death said.
"Okay Father. Please tell me." Kidd said to his father.
"When I first met your mother, I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. She was kind to everyone she met. She had a strong will and was determined to make a difference in the world. Her soul was strong and powerful, more powerful than most people. And I just knew that I had to get to know her.
Soon, we had become best friends. We trusted each other with anything and everything. Since Sakura was quite a few years younger than me, she was still trying to finish her senior year in the DWMA. I often helped her study for exams, as well as teach her how to become a better meister. Just before the end of her senior year, I realized I liked her more than a friend. But I could never find a good time to tell her. And before I knew it, she was graduating.
After her graduation, her visits to me were less frequent. She had begun dating a man from her class, Justin Mitchel. Every visit she made to me, she talked of him. She talked of how much she liked him and where they go on their dates.
On one of her last visits to me, I had gotten angry and told her to never see me again. I knew I hurt her when I had said it, but at the time I didn't care. She just seemed so happy with Justin. And it hurt to know that she didn't love me.
On the very last visit, Sakura came to me. She had broken up with Justin when she found out that he was seeing three other women at the same time. I was shocked. During her visit, I apologize to her. I hadn't meant the things I had said to her. She accepted my apology, but also asked why I reacted the way I did. And I simply said, "Because I love you Sakura."
Sakura was so quiet for a minute, that I worried I had messed things up. But then she began to laugh. Her laugh filled me with confusion. 'Why is she laughing' I thought. And what she said next still makes smile.
"I was wondering when you were going to finally tell me. I was only dating Justin because I didn't think you were ever going to tell me."
"You knew?" I had said to her.
"Yes. I could tell how much you cared for me. And when you didn't tell me before graduation, I was sad. Because I love you as well." Sakura said to me with a smile.
After that we began dating. But after six months of dating there were some very huge surprises. Our very first surprise was Sakura's ability to heal quicker. She would get wounded, but the very next day she wouldn't have a scratch on her. The next surprise was our ability to speak to each other telepathically. And not just short ranges. We could speak to each other through our mind, even if one of us was halfway across the world. And as time went on, I began to realize why. Sakura was my queen. My soulmate.
The night I told her this, she was so happy. And she suggested that we get married right away. I, of course, agreed with her. We got married the following month.
And then came you. Sakura was so happy when she found out that she was pregnant with you, Kidd. She never stopped telling me how much she loved you. Even on the day she died." Lord Death said to his son with sad smile.
Kidd stared at his Father for a minute, then started crying softly. Lord Death picked up his son and hugged him close. After awhile, Kidd's sobs died down as he fell asleep.
*End of memory*
I had forgotten about that night. Now I remember why Father told me the Legend of the Queen several years later. He knew I had found mine. I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt something grab at my neck.
I looked down to find that Maka had grabbed the lapels on my shirt. She was clearly still sleeping, though her lips were moving. I couldn't catch anything she was saying except one word. My name.
"Kidd…" Maka said soflty.
'She must be having a dream about me. And I wager it is a good one. At least I hope it is. Now that I know that Maka is truly my queen, I know that some part of Maka likes me the way I like her. But how do I go about telling her what she is to me?' I thought to myself. I looked up then to see we had arrived at the Gallows Manor. Remembering Maka's request, I gently shoke her awake.
'Maka. Time to wake up." I said. She stirred, but didn't wake up. I shoke her again, this time just a little harder. She finally woke up. She looked around her and found that we were nearing the mansion. She looked back up at me and smiled.
"You remembered. I didn't think you would wake me up. I thought that you would just let me sleep some more because of my injuries. Thank you Kidd." Maka said to me with a huge smile. I smiled down at her.
"You're welcome Maka. Now let's land so that you can explore the glories of the mansion." I said to her with a smile.
"Yes. Let's." she replied, returning my smile.
As we descended to the ground, I thought about the memory I had recalled. 'I know that there has to be some way to tell Maka about the legend. But how do I go about it?'
So what did you guys think? I know that it is a little shorter than most of the other chapters. Again, I apologize for not uploading yesterday like I promised. My job just takes a lot out of me. But I will try to upload more often. I promise. Also, I am looking for a beta reader. I know that I make mistakes in my writing. And as the author, I would like someone to proofread and edit my story to make sure my fans are getting the very best. If anyone wants to be my beta reader, just PM me. As always, please leave me a review! Until next time my lovelies! –Sesshomaruslover17
