"What do you mean, what am I doing here?" Black*Star growled at Maka, a scowl on his face.
"Where am I?" Maka asked him as her hand went up to her forehead; she was starting to get a headache.
"You're in your room, where you were supposed to be instead of going on and getting into a fight with Pops." He growled.
Maka's eyes widened and then she tried to keep her calm as she looked into his eyes. "What are you talking about?" she asked him, trying to act innocent.
"Don't pull that shit on me Maka. You couldn't wait until you were fully healed could you?' he growled at her, pulling over the desk chair and sitting down next to the bed, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Black*Star, I have no idea what you are talking about." Maka kept saying, no one is supposed to know about the Star Clan, and it's not possible that Black*Star could know about them.
"I know about the Star Clan Maka." Black*Star growled.
Maka blinked at him, taking back her last thought. "How?" she whispered.
"I've known about them for forever, they're my family Maka, how could I not know?" Black*Star said rolling his eyes at Maka's stupidity.
"But… but everyone thought that they were extinct." Maka whispered.
"Everyone but me. I am a god! They contacted me when I was little Maka. They found out that I was still alive and tried to take me away from Sid, but I told them that I wanted to stay with him… I told them that I made a promise to protect a friend… you remember that don't you Maka?" he asked her a smirk on his face.
Maka shook her head, confused.
Black*Star rolled his eyes. "Do you remember the first time we met?" he asked her.
"Oh yeah… You were ranting on and on about surpassing god, and I was the one that gave in and told you to shut up." Maka said chuckling, lightly shaking her head at the memory, a small smile on her face.
"Then we fought until Sid broke us apart. For the record, I let you beat me." Black*Star said with a huff.
"Sure you did." Maka said.
"Anyways, later on, Sid got angry at me and told me to go say sorry, and then we all went for ice cream that came out of my allowance and you just had to go and buy the most expensive thing on the menu." Black*Star grumbled at her.
"I said I was sorry, I didn't know that it was you paying!" Maka exclaimed, her smile vanishing, after all these years, he still held the grudge against her, leave it to Black*Star to ruin the moment.
Black*Star stuck his tongue out at her childishly and then let out a chuckle. "After that we had our backs for everything… I swore to myself that I would not let my friend get hurt ever, that I was the only one that could bully you around." He said, he was going to say 'with the exception of Soul' but decided not to. "And I was not about to go back on that promise. The Star Clan respected my decision and let me stay with Sid." Black*Star said leaning back, his hands going to rest behind his head as he leaned back in his chair.
"So Sid knew about the Star Clan?" Maka asked him. Sid would have killed them if he had known about them.
"No! Sid would have killed them!" Black*Star exclaimed. "I skipped out on classes just to see them!" Black Star said laughing. "The teachers never knew I was gone."
"No, they knew you were gone, they were just relieved at having a break from all your godliness." Maka said rolling her eyes.
Black*Star huffed at her and ignored her statement. "Anyways, we got off topic. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, I thought you were smart! How stupid can you be? Going on and fighting with Pops." Black*Star said, knocking on her forehead.
Maka slapped his hand away with a growl. "I'm not stupid!" she growled.
"Yes you are! You've been asleep for a whole day! Twenty four hours Maka!" he growled at her.
The door of Maka's room opened and Jared walked in. "So you guys do know each other." He said.
"Shut it Jared, I'm yelling at Maka right now." Black*Star said, looking away from Maka to glare at him. "You are her weapon aren't you? You are supposed to be the one to stop her from doing stupid things!" Black*Star growled at him.
"Don't push this on me, you know very well that Pops is the head of the Star Clan and what he says goes." Jared responded as he went over to stand on the other side of Maka's bed.
Black*Star glared at him but kept quiet, if it was anyone else he was talking to, he would have exploded at them, but this was Jared, the second in command, although Black*Star thought he was a god, he knew his place in the family, and Jared had his respect, he was the one that had called him over to see the new addition to the family.
"So, how do you guys know about each other?" Jared asked changing the subject.
"Do you remember the friend I swore that I would take care of when I was little?" Black*Star asked him.
"The girl you have a crush on?" Jared asked.
Black*Star made a face of disgust. "What? Ew! Naw! Maka is the girl that I swore I'd take care of." Black*Star said. "She's like a little sister to me, no way would I ever have a crush on her." Black*Star said, disgusted at the thought.
"Maka, as in Kami's daughter? That Maka? My Step-Daughter?" Jared asked, pointing at Maka. "What a small world." He mumbled.
"Anyways, what about Tsubaki? Does she know about all of this?" Maka asked Black*Star.
"Nope, she doesn't know anything." Black*Star murmured. He hated keeping secrets from his partner, and he knew just how disappointed she'd be in him if she ever found out, but he was sworn to secrecy, the only people he would be able to tell is his family… and they were gone, he only had the Star Clan. "Why did you want to be in the Star Clan anyways?" he asked her, trying to get off of the topic of Tsubaki.
Maka looked at him and smiled lightly. "Because I wanted a family." She whispered to him, a small smile on her face. "And I finally have one."
Black*Star shook his head at her. "Maka… You already had one. You had me, Tsubaki, Liz, Patti, Kid. We were all there for you if you needed us… and then you bailed on us… Maka, what the hell happened? Why would you move out of death city? It's not like Soul was waking up the whole damn city with his fucking moans!" Black*Star growled.
Maka flinched and looked away.
"Answer me Maka." Black*Star growled at her.
"Stop it Black*Star. You want an answer fine, she was threatened." Jared growled at him.
"Huh? By who? And for what?" he asked him.
Jared walked around the bed and put his hand on Black*Stars shoulder. "A cat named Blair threatened her. She had to leave her weapon in order to save him." Jared explained.
Black*Star looked down at Maka. "Is that true? That bitch is the one that caused all your pain isn't it?" he growled, anger running through his veins. "Don't you worry Maka, I'm going to back out of the mission I'm on for a while and I'm going to beat that bitch to a pulp, I swear." Black*Star growled.
Confusion shot through Maka. "A mission? What's that mission?" she asked him.
Black*Star quieted down and looked away.
"Black*Star, she was going to find out sooner or later." Jared said.
Black*Star sighed. "They killed my family Maka… who ever messes with the Star Clan has to pay." He whispered, he felt anger shoot through him as his hands clenched into fists.
Maka's eyes widened. "No." she mumbled, shaking her head. "No, you can't possibly be thinking… Black*Star, everyone would be so disappointed in you!" Maka exclaimed.
Black*Star glared at her. "The Star clan always comes first… no matter what." He growled.
"I know Black*Star… but taking down the DWMA?" Maka whispered, shaking her head lightly. "How long have you been working on that mission? What exactly are you planning to do?" she whispered.
"Black*Star has been working really hard on this mission, ever since we contacted him, it was one of the only reasons that he has been able to stay with Sid… He's our spy behind enemy lines." Jarred said. "And once you are ready mentally and physically we'll be helping him on that mission. Together the three of us are going to take the DWMA down." Jared said, other than Black*Star, he was the one that took the death of his uncle badly. The DWMA is going down, no matter what it took.
Maka was quiet… "What do you mean by 'mentally'?" she whispered.
"We are going to show you all the damages that the DWMA did to our family, Maka… it doesn't matter that you were once a student, forget about all of that, forget that you were ever there. Maka, you are one of us, not only will you feel our joy… but you will also feel our pain." Jarred said, his expression turning into a sad one as he looked down at her. "This is what I was trying to warn you about Maka… but you didn't listen… You can't go back now." He whispered and turned to walk out of the room, leaving Maka and Black*Star alone.
