(Maka's P.O.V.)

I woke up from the sunlight pouring through the window. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes. Everything was blurry for quite some time before everything came into focus. It was then realized I wasn't on my bed, much less in my own room!

What!? Where am I? I thought. Then last nights events ran through my head so fast it almost gave me a headache. I felt a sharp stab in my heart when I finally remembered Soul's crazy, yet desperate expression.

Why'd he attack me? I thought, an unusual sense of helplessness setting in. I hate it when I don't know the answers, or I can't figure out anything. I just wanted to be his friend, and he was my partner for god knows how long!

I felt my eyes start to water up and my nose burn, but I pushed the feeling aside. Sure, I wanted to cry, but I didn't. I couldn't. I had to be strong.

I decided to get dressed in one of the outfits I had taken from my room. It was a green tank top and a pair of jeans. Simple, but I didn't care. There were far more important things to worry about, and the way I dressed wasn't one of them. and go downstairs. Once I was at least in my decent clothing I decided to head downstairs and get something to drink.

I yawned while I was entering the kitchen. "Good morning, sleep well?" A voice startled me and caused me to look around. Finally my eyes rested on Kid. He was wearing a loose, baggy skull shirt and black sweats. They matched so perfect with his beautiful eyes... Wait? Did I really just think that? I started to blush.

"Are you ok? Your face is kinda-"

"I know." I said before he got even further.

"I don't know if this is the best time to bring it up, but can you tell me exactly what happened last night?" Kid asked.

"Well, um-er- Soul, he kinda, um attacked me, as you know... Like I said last night, I don't know why except that voices are telling him to do so." I sighed. When anybody hears something like, 'the voices are telling him what to do', not many people will believe you. Will Kid believe her and this crazy explanation? Well, even if he didn't there was no way she could explain something she barely understood herself. All of this just happened so fast... It was just hard to take in.

"Well, even so that's still not enough information on what to do. Maybe I should ask father?" Kid said, more to him than to me. I glanced up at him then smiled.

"Well, what about breakfast? Would you like some help cooking. Its the least I can do since your letting me stay here." I asked cheerfully, trying to lighten the situation up again.

"That would help thank you." Kid said. I thought I saw the faintest smile on his face but it soon disappeared. Was I imagining it? No, it was definitely there. I thought. As Kid was cooking eggs and bacon and I was cooking pancakes we stood there in silence. I started thinking of ways to start a conversation.

"Say, Kid. Why don't you ever smile as much as you should?" I noticed Kid narrows his eyes slightly and I realized then that it was the wrong question. I wanted to apologize, but it was too late. The words had escaped my lips, and they could never be taken back. Now, he's probably going to hate me.

It took Kid a minute to answer the absurd question. "I don't know really. Maybe because it would make me seem weak in front of my enemies." Kid said blankly

"But me, Liz, Patty, Soul, and Tsubaki aren't you're enemies. Hell, even Black*Star isn't your enemy." I said. Well, she's messed up this far, what's left to lose?

Oh, right. They're friendship.

Kid stayed quiet and guilt started to settle in. "I'm sorry, if you don't want to-"

"No, its okay. Anybody would want to know that, I suppose." Kid sighed. We went back to cooking in silence until we saw Liz and Patty practically float inside the kitchen.

"Yum, what's that smell, sis?" Patty asked sleepily.

"I don't know but it smells way better than Kid's cooking." Liz said the exact same way.

I giggled at the statement and Kid shouted from across the kitchen, "I'm still here, you know!"

Liz smirked. "I am aware, Kid~ That's exactly why I said it." Patty joined in with the laughter and Kid begrudgingly began setting up the table. Once my laughing fit was over, I smiled warmly at Kid. This was way better than the mornings with Soul. I would always cook breakfast and he would just eat it without so much of a thank you. Not to mention that slutty cat was always staring at him...

I felt my smile falter as my thoughts once again went back to Soul. I wonder how he is? I shrugged off the thought and set the food on the table so Kid could set it symmetrically. I could care less about him right now, he tried to kill me! I sat down and started to enjoy the big breakfast, laughter and pointless conversations echoing throughout the kitchen.

Yes, this was far better than with Soul.

Kill her, its the only way

Yes, Soul. If you want us to go away kill her.

Kill her! Kill her!

The voices rung around in Souls ears. "Get out of my head!" Soul screamed. The constant ring of those words was enough to drive anyone crazy! Soul couldn't even make out if the voices were all one person or multiple people! The chanting slowly became background noise as one voice stood out.

Soul, if you don't want to bring her to me I'm fine with that, as long as you kill her. The serious voice broke out into a fit of giggles.

Soul's head started to hurt, as if his head was being hit over and over again with a hammer. He closed his eyes in an attempt to make the pain stop, before he just hung his head limply. Soul slowly started to look up as he opened his eyes. They glowed a sightless blue. "Yes Usagi-sama." Soul said in a hypnotized, monotonous voice.

Meanwhile, a witch with cream colored rabbit ears was sitting in front of a crystal ball, slowly waving her hand around in circular movements. "My rabbits are watching you, Soul. Find that grigori soul and shinigami soul and kill them. Then bring them to me immediately. We don't want you to lose your mind even more do you?" The witch giggled again then quickly swiped her hand in a downward motion and, from her crystal ball picture, she saw Soul nod and slowly get up.

The witch frowned slightly. Was this boy capable of doing what she asked? Maybe choosing the best friend wasn't her wisest decision. But the betrayal should be enough for the grigori soul to break down, right? The smile returned to her face.

Of course she would! Everything will go smoothly!

With her hand still over the crystal ball, she clenched her fist together then slowly relaxed her hand. Soul's eyes then turned back to their regular blood red color and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Perfect, everything is falling into place. With her mind control over him, he will soon be permanently under her control whether he was aware of it or not.

Soon, Death, you will pay for all the things you've done! The rabbit witch started laughing evilly before getting ready for stage two.

THAT took a while to get finished... *sighs*

Well, here's another chapter! :D
