A/N: Hello my darlings! I was going to try to update yesterday but I was waiting to see how many of you would leave a suggestion before I typed chapter ten.

I read through all your reviews, and was a little sad to see that only one person made a suggestion. Ah well. I really do love the suggestion though and have decided to use it. But not for this chapter. I plan on using that idea for chapter eleven or twelve. So you will have to wait to see how that turns out!

Now onto the story! Enjoy my darlings! And as always, please leave me a review! :)


Chapter Ten

*Kidd's POV*

As I left Maka in the library, I couldn't help thinking how beautiful she looked. With her face poured over those books, she looked sort of ethereal. Like an angel sent from heaven. 'And she's mine. My sweet, beautiful angel.'I thought to myself. 'And she will never belong to anyone else. We are destined for each other.' I thought possessively.

I knew that I was being too possessive. But I couldn't help it. The thought of seeing Maka with another man made my body fill with inexplicable jealousy. And the thought of losing her made my soul feel like it was being ripped in two.

'I can't lose her. I didn't think it was possible to love someone so much as I do with Maka, but I do. If I lose her, it will be as if I died.' I thought with a pained expression. 'I will not lose her. I will devote my life to protect her, to care for her. I will not lose her.' I thought with determination as I reached the kitchen door.

Walking into the kitchen, my thoughts turned to what to fix for Maka. I knew that she really like pasta. And I knew she really loved lasagna. 'So what if I make lasagna? But what kind of lasagna would I make?' I thought to myself. Then a thought struck me. 'What if I make my special lasagna? The lasagna that has been in my family for years. Bolognese Lasagna with Porcini- Ricotta Filling. And I can make salad to go with it. Oh! And for dessert, I can make the Death family's strawberry cheesecake and the Shinigami's chocolate chip cookies Yes. Maka will definitely love it.' With my mind made up, I began to get out everything I needed.


*Tsubaki's POV*

I was so shocked at what BlackStar told me that I was speechless for several minutes. I couldn't think straight and I couldn't focus on anything except Soul and his madness. 'Okay Tsubaki. Get a grip. Focus. Relax. Concentrate on freeing your spirit and relax. Relax Tsubaki.' As I sat there next to BlackStar, I began to calm down. I relaxed my muscles. I took deep breaths in and out. Soon, I was calm enough to speak.

"The madness? Are you sure BlackStar?" I asked with disbelief.

"Yes. Kidd made sure." he replied.

"Kidd did? How?" I asked.

"He has this room attached to his private study called the Room of Mirrors. It has a mirror for every person on Earth. It shows where they are, what they are doing. You can also see what the nature of person's soul is." BlackStar replied with curious interest in his voice.

"Which is how you saw what Soul's soul looked like." I said.

"Exactly. It's also how I teleported straight in front of you." BlackStar said with a smile.

"I was wondering about that." I said with a smile as well.

"Yeah. It was pretty awesome. Especially for a god like me." BlackStar said laughing.

"Oh, BlackStar. Sometimes you are too much." I said, joining in on the laughter.

We laughed for awhile, but then quieted down as the librarian gave us a look to be quiet. I began thinking of Soul and the madness. 'We saved him once before from it. We can do it again. Right?' I thought.

"BlackStar?" I said quietly.

:Yeah?" he said.

"How are we going to help Soul from the madness?" I asked.

"Oh! That reminds me. I was supposed to tell you something." BlackStar said standing up.

"What?" I said looking up at him.

"We are supposed to go see Professor Stein so that we can train." he said.

"Train for what?" I said confused.

"Kidd said that Stein can help us shape a soul back to its original state. And if we can do that, then-" BlackStar explained.

"Then we can help Soul." I finished for him.

"Exactly." he said.

"Then shouldn't we go find Professor Stein?" I asked.

"Yes." BlackStar was quiet for a moment. "Oh, and Kidd said that once we are done, we are to meet him and Maka at the mansion at eight sharp. And Liz, Patti, Stein, and Ms. Marie are supposed to be there too." he said while helping me up from the floor.

"So should we also find Liz and Patti so that they know?" I asked him.

"Yeah. And we should also find and tell Ms. Marie." BlackStar said to me.

"Then let's go." I said as I began to lead us out of the library.


*Maka's POV*

"He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced-or seemed to face-the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey." As I was reading, this one line from the Great Gatsby stuck out to me. For some reason, I was immediately thinking of Kidd and his smile.

'His smile.' I thought smiling. 'Kidd's smile is so beautiful. It's one of the many things I love about him. Wait. Love? I don't love Kidd. Do I?' I thought to myself, sadness suddenly flooding through my veins. It wasn't the thought of possibly loving Kidd making me sad. It was how I felt about loving Kidd.

It made me happy and sad that I might love Kidd. Happy because I might have finally found someone that would love me. But sad because I didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve to be loved. 'If Soul couldn't love me, then what makes me think that Kidd could love me as well?' I thought sadly.

As I sat there, the Great Gatsby fell out of my lap and onto the floor. With tears rolling down my cheeks, I began to lose sight of where I was. Nothing seemed to register in my brain anymore. I was lost in my own world. My own darkness. I was completely and utterly wrapped in sadness.

But then, something strange began happening. I began to feel as happiness and love was being flowed into me. And not my own happiness. No, it was someone else's. How I knew that, I did not know. I just did.

I felt the happiness and love so strongly that I thought I might blacked out from it. But instead of blacking out, I was suddenly hearing Kidd's voice. 'No. Not his voice. But his thoughts.' I realized with a start.

'And she's mine. My sweet, beautiful angel. And she will never belong to anyone else. We are destined for each other.' Kidd's thought went through my head as clear as day. The images that were going through his head were of me. Not me exactly. But a beautiful version of me.

'Is that how Kidd sees me? A beautiful angel? But why? And why does he keep thinking of me as his queen?' I thought to myself with intrigue and confusion. It didn't make any sense to me.

As I was thinking that, I was unaware that I was already back in the library. I opened my eyes then, trying and failing to remember when I had even closed them. I looked around myself then and realized that I was still in the library. It was as if what I just saw and heard never happened.

I looked down at my lap and saw that the book was no longer in my lap, but rather on the floor beside me. I picked it up and set it on to the table beside me. As I sat there trying to analyze what i happened, a wonderful smell wafted to my nose.

I got up and walked over to the stairs in the library where the smell seemed to be emanating from. As I began to descend down the stairs, the smell got stronger and stronger. When I reached the bottom, I realized why the house smelled so good. It was the food. And not just any food. But lasagna.

I walked into the dining room and saw that the table was already set. In the middle of the table, there was a large pan of lasagna. Next to the lasagna was a large bowl of salad. And right beside the salad was a ridiculously large pan of strawberry cheesecake. 'Oooh. That looks so delicious. Especially the lasagna.' I thought, my mouth watering.

As I continue to stare at the food, I noticed there were eight places set. 'Why? I thought it was just going to be me and Kidd. Is he expecting company?' I thought to myself with confusion.

"Maka?" Kidd said.

I jumped, startled by his sudden appearance. I turned around to face him.

"What are you doing down here? The food isn't ready yet." Kidd said with worry in his voice.

"I came down because I smelled all this by the way, looks really yummy." I said, mentally smacking myself. Crap. Did I really just say the word "yummy" right in front of Kidd?'

"Oh. Well as long as you are alright." Kidd replied with a smile.

"Kidd?" I said.

'Yes Maka?" he said with happiness in his voice.

"Why are there eight places set? I thought it was just going to be me and you." I asked him with confusion.

Before Kidd could answer my question, the doorbell rang. Kidd left the room then. As I stood there in the dining room confused, I heard voices coming towards me. I looked up just as Kidd walked back in, followed by BlackStar, Tsubaki, Liz, Patti, Stein, and Ms. Marie.

"BlackStar? What are you doing here? And what are the rest of you doing here?" I asked.

"Maka." I looked to Kidd as he said my name.

"We need to talk." Kidd said with a serious expression.
