Chapter Seven

*Maka's POV*

As Kidd and I descended to the ground, I was beginning to get antsy. The feeling of anticipation was just really powerful. I couldn't wait to see the inside of Gallows Manor. 'I wonder if Kidd will show me the library first. Or maybe he will show me the kitchen first. Or what if Kidd shows me his bedroom first? Wait. What? Why did I just go there!? I'm me, Maka, I never go there! Holy crap I'm turning into Blair! Wait STOP! Okay Maka, slow down. Stop thinking like that. As if Kidd would think of you that way. You are Miss Tiny Tits after all. Kidd probably prefers women like Liz. He probably sees you as just an object to take care of because you are so weak that you can't even stand up to your own weapon. Soul is right. You really are a useless, good-for-nothing bitch."

As my thoughts took a downward spiral, so did my emotions. I was no longer feeling happy and excited. I felt…unwanted. And though deep down I knew Kidd didn't see me as weak person, I let my depression get the better of me.

Soon we had reached the large double front doors of the mansion. Kidd put me down gently, but kept his right arm around my waist. Kidd walked me to the front door and opened it. As we walked inside, I was amazed at the sight. On the left side of the door, was an exquisite staircase that was outlined in black and gold. At the top of the stairs was a landing that led to the second floor. In front of me was a semi-long hallway with family portraits hanging on the walls and another staircase at the end of the hall.

Kidd let me look in awe for a minute, and then he pulled me into a room off to the right of the front door. The room he pulled me into turned out to be the front parlor, and it was incredible! There were three couches placed in the shape of a U. Each couch could hold up to eight people. In front of the couches was a 76-inch TV that was hanging above a large fireplace. Off to each side of the fireplace were tall, wooden cabinets that held DVDs and Wii games. On the top of the left cabinet was a DVD player and on top of the other one was a Wii system. In the corner of the left side of the room was a grand piano with the engraving Death in gold.

Off to the right side of the piano was a large door that led to the kitchen. I walked towards the kitchen, leaving Kidd to follow me. As I walked in I was astonished by all of it. Everywhere I looked there were superb pots and pans, dark wooden cabinets, and spices of all kinds. In one corner of the kitchen, there was a door that led to the laundry room. In another corner, there was a huge refrigerator next to a large door that led to the dining room. I walked towards the door that would lead me to the dining room.

In the dining room, there was a large table that could seat fourteen people. On each long side of the table, there were six chairs. On each short end of the table, there was one chair. The molding for this room was just so incredible. Through a doorway I could see the stairs that would leave me to the second floor. I started for the stairs, but was stopped short when Kidd pulled my left arm. I looked down at my arm, then to his face. My eyes searched his with confusion.

"I want you to see where those stairs lead later. For now let's go back to the stairs at the front." Kidd said to me with a smile on his face. I nodded at him, but I was still confused. 'Is Kidd hiding something from me?' I wondered to myself. Kidd led me back to the front door and took me up to the second floor. Once we reached the top, Kidd let go of me.

At the end of the hall there was yet another set of large double doors. I wanted so bad to go investigate what was behind those doors. My stubborn curiosity rearing it's little head, tempting me with the thought of discovering the unknown. But something else held me back and told me to leave that for last.

On the left of the stairs were four doors. I opened each one of them and found that they were bedrooms. Each one was more exquisite than the last. On the right side of the stairs were two doors. When I opened the first one, I was shocked at what I saw. Though it was a bedroom, it wasn't just any bedroom. I could tell it was Kidd's bedroom. I looked at Kidd and smiled. I closed the door and opened the other. This one was a bedroom as well, but just like I knew which was Kidd's I could tell this was mine. I walked in and looked around.

In front of me was a queen-sized bed with my favorite blanket folded up on it. Off to each side of the headboard were bedside tables with pictures of me and my friends on top of them. On the right side of the room there was a large balcony that looked over a forest. On the right side of the balcony, there was a door that led to my own private bathroom. On the other side of the door there was a built-in bookcase filled with all of my books. I looked back at Kidd and said, "It's beautiful Kidd. Thank you."

Kidd looked at smiled for a moment, then said "Come on. There is one more room on this floor that you have to look in." I looked at him and followed him out of my room to the last room I had yet to see. Kidd stopped in front of the doors and then slowly opened them. When he stepped aside to let me in, I finally understood why he hadn't let me use those stairs earlier. Because those stairs led to the two-story library that he had.

I twirled around slowly, taking it all in. It was like I had died and walked into my own personal heaven. When I turned back to Kidd, I ran over and gave him a big hug. He was shocked at first, but he hugged me back after a moment. After several minutes of us just standing there holding each other, I finally came back to my senses. I stepped back quickly and mumbled a sorry.

"Kidd, this library is exquisite! I am absolutely in love!" I exclaimed happily.

"Thanks, Maka. I'm glad you like it. Are you hungry?" Kidd asked. My stomach grumbled then.

"I guess I am. What shall we eat? I can make us something." I said.

"No, no Maka. You stay here and read. I will make us something to eat." Kidd said firmly.

"Are you sure? I can make us some spaghetti and garlic bread. Or I can make us some fettuccini. Or I can-?" I asked with worry.

"No. I will fix us something to eat. Okay?" he aid firmly to me.

"Okay." I said.

"Now are you going to stay here and read or did you want to go back to your room for a bit?" Kidd asked me.

I thought for a moment and then replied, "I think will stay here and read. These books are calling my name." I said happily.

"Okay. I will come get you when dinner is ready. Do you need anything before I go?" Kidd asked.

"No. But thank you for asking." I replied.

"You're welcome Maka. I will go and start dinner then." Kidd said to me with a smile on his face.

As he left the room, I had already started reading a book I had found lying on a table. I never noticed that he stayed there by the door for a while, just watching me read. And I never heard him say "My queen." as he left the room.
