Chapter 3: Can you keep a secret?

Maka and Soul just collected another soul, "That makes about 98. One more soul and we have 99. Then we get to collect a witch soul and you become a death scythe!" Maka said excitedly

"Yep!" Soul smiled at Maka, "That's because I have an awesome meister like you." Soul hugged Maka making her blush.

"Thanks Soul. Now let's get home." Maka smiled and walked home with Soul.

~Le next day~

Maka and Soul was walking into school when they saw Kid walking with Liz and Patty. Liz and Patty had no idea what had happened a few days ago, were they about to find out? Or was Maka just going to keep it to herself? I hope kid doesn't bring it up even if he is going to apologize. I'm not planning on forgiving him soon…

"Look Maka I'm sorry about what happened." Kid said looking down. When kid looked up she could see the shame and regret in his eyes.

Dammit! Now I'm not sure if I should forgive him or not...I can tell he regrets it but I don't know. If I do know one thing, I'm not dating him anymore after what he did. I'm still pissed about it.

"Maka can we still be together?" Kid asked looking in her eyes and gently grabbing her hand.

Maka let go of his hand and started walking. She completely ignored what kid had said and asked. "Lets go Soul." Maka grabbed Souls wrist and dragged him to class. Soul stumbled and followed her to class.

When Maka and Soul were finally seated, Stein walked in "okay class today we are going to be dissecting a bird. An endangered one In fact which only makes it better. Oh and Maka, Soul, you are wanted in the death room."

Soul and Maka headed to the death room and met up with lord death

"Hello Soul, Maka." Said lord death

"Hi Lord Death." Maka smiled and waved "What's up"

"As you know, when you get 99 souls you have to get 1 witch soul in order to turn Soul into a death scythe. You guys are currently at 98 souls and remember one other thing. The witch soul is very hard to get. Witches are very powerful and some die from trying to obtain a witch soul so be careful."

"Got it." Maka looked at Soul and smiled brightly

"You are dismissed from the death room."

Maka and Soul left the death room and after a few hours of class, school was finally over and Maka, Soul, Tsubaki, Blackstar, Kid, Liz, and Patty were going to hang out at Soul and Maka's place. Maka didn't want Kid to come but Blackstar insisted on him coming so he did. They were all staying for dinner and all was going well until things became awkward…

"Hey Maka, why didn't you answer my question earlier?" Kid blurted out randomly

"What question. I didn't hear you ask me anything at all today." Maka said pretending as though she didn't hear kid.

"When I asked if we can still be together."

The room went completely quiet and Maka looked at Kid seriously and said "No kid we can't. You messed up and you can't fix it either. Don't apologize and expect me to forgive you." then rushed out of the room and into her bedroom where she locked the door.

A sad Kid didn't say anything for the rest of the night. A few times some of the others went to check on Maka but didn't get any other respond but a muffled I'm fine. When the night was over, everyone did have fun but there were still these small conversations about what went on between Maka and Kid. No one knew the full story but they did know that they were dating and something happened. Soul and Kid refused to talk about it either. They didn't even talk to each other or pay attention to each other. They hate each other. Everybody had gone home finally and unless Maka came out of her room, Soul was left to clean everything.

Maka hadn't come out at all and when Soul had finished he decided that he should go check on Maka.

Soul knocked on her door "Hey Maka, you okay?"

"I-I'm fine." The sound of her voice made it seem like she was crying

"No you're not." soul exclaimed as he opened the door and walked in to see Maka in her bed under the covers. She sounded as though she was crying

"Maka...what's wrong?" Soul asked worried. He walked to the side of the bed and kneeled down. He knew he was face to face with his meister who was still under the covers

"Nothing Soul, I'm fine." Her voice was strong but her mood was still sad.

"Maka... You have to tell me what's up."

Maka removed her face from the covers and moved a little forward, not realizing how close her weapon was to her. Before she even knew it she was really close to soul. Maka blushed insanely unsure of what to do. Neither said a word.

Oh no, what should I do? Should I kiss him? Would I know if he feels the same? I guess that's the only way to find out right now… I'm going to kiss him.

Maka closed her eyes and leaned forward, kissing Soul gently, hoping he felt the same and that he would kiss back.

He didn't.

As a matter of fact, during this kiss Soul felt nothing. He didn't feel anything change. His emotions stayed the same only he was a bit surprised but hadn't felt a bit of love.

When Maka had pulled away Maka looked into Souls eyes searching for a hint that told her that he felt the same. She didn't find anything. Soul moved back a little still looking at Maka until she looked down.

"I uh...I was um…" Maka said searching for the right words to say

"I know what you're thinking Maka and I'm sorry but I can't, I can't be with you."

"Why?" Maka asked looking up a bit hurt.

"I just can't."

I knew it. I shouldn't have done anything... but why, why won't Soul give me an answer. Why won't he explain it? Why can't he be with me? Why can't he love me?

Tears formed in Maka's eyes for she felt that she made a huge mistake in kissing him and ruined their friendship. "That's not a real answer." Maka whispered to herself hoping Soul didn't hear.

But Soul did. "I can't because." A pause "because I..."

"Because what Soul."

"Because I don't love. I don't know how."
