Hey guys! I got this awesome chapter thats gonna be really short because it has only like 5% things that have to do with the story! ;P But, whatever. I updated the last chapter... just in case you didn't know... yet. But yeah, I made it way longer and well, the dance went well. Turns out that my dress wasn't fancy enough! I should've been a Christmas ball, not a Christmas Prom! Seriously, I'm only in seventh grade and the dance made me feel like I was in an actual Prom! I left early because, my date didn't show up, I almost had an anxiety attack, and my friend who went with me ditched me for her other friends! I don't know what's wrong with me, but at least I have you guys... Right? Right now I'm really sick because of the dance... That cursed thing! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas soon! :D

Chapter 4 : A Love Triangle?

Maka's POV

We went directly to the hospital after Loke stopped arguing with BlackStar with Lucy in his arms. I've read books about celestial spirits, and stellar magic. Although, I never knew that they were actually real. I always thought they were fairy tales. But then again, Lucy said she came from... Fairy Tail. I'm still confused about that fact, but still...

"Maka," Kid said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I said, trying to keep my blush down. I don't know why, but whenever I talk him, or when I'm near him, I always get hot and try not to look embarrassed about looking at him. I've never felt this way about anyone before. But when I first met him and felt my blood rush up to my face. I always thought that it was just because he was stronger and more powerful than me, and that he's Lord Death's son, and a reaper for god's sake!

When I talked to Liz about my... situation. Wait, no. Lets call it a problem. Okay, that sounds a little better. So, anyways, when I talked to her about my problem she lit up. I'm not joking, she actually made the room we were in become brighter. I didn't even know that, that was possible! When I asked what was wrong, she just hugged me, stuffing me into he breasts. She released me before I felt like I was going to faint from the loss of oxygen. She finally told me that I had a thing for her meister.

Flashback

"A thing?" I asked her, confused because I haven't experienced anything like this and, well, never wanted to be with a guy before.

"Yes! Your feelings make perfect sense. You can tell that your in love when you go through these kind of symptoms!" She squealed with delight.

"What symptoms? I haven't felt anything out of the ordinary," I lied.

"Really? Ok, have you ever felt that its gotten a bit warm when your next to Kid?"

"Yeah."

"Did you ever notice that your face feels hot when you think about him?"

"I guess. But it likes that with Soul, too."

"Do you ever feel like you stare at Kid for no reason, but because of how you like to look at him?"

"Well, that's only because he stares back at me!" I protested, seeing where this was leading too.

"All those things are telling you that you have feelings for him! And, from what you told me about how he stares back at you, I'm guessing that he likes you too!" Her face turned into one of those colons with a capital d. (A/N - If you guys don't know what she's talking about, she's talking about this - :D)

"Um, no. He's just a good friend that's all," I said, my face was getting redder by the minute.

"Your blushing! Don't lie to me Maka Albarn! Tell me the truth. Do you like him or not?" She said inching closer to me, eager to know.

"I-I guess I-I l-like hi-him," I stuttered quietly, hoping she didn't hear me. But sadly, my attempts failed.

"HAHAHAHA! I told you!" She stood up and did a little victory dance. I scoffed at her. Sure, maybe I did like Kid, a little but I think I have more of a crush on Soul. He likes me, I know that for sure. He confessed to me a few months ago. The thing is, it didn't make our partnership weird and unstable, but it made it stronger. I did start to think that we were going to be together... until now."

"But, but I like Soul! And he likes me too! I can't afford to think about Kid if I've got Soul," I asked. (A/N I decided it would be better if Maka in love with Soul because I love Kid. And when I write things like this it makes me feel a little jealous. I also changed it because I didn't want the SoMa lovers who were reading this story get mad at me... Sorry! And the best out of all this, would be to put a little love triangle!)

"Well, you've got to stop being pretty. Having two boys like you at once will result in a love triangle," she said. I blushed. I'm not that pretty, I thought.

End of Flashback

"I've got to talk to you," Kid said as he pulled me into an unoccupied hospital room. I was blushing. Before I was in the room I caught a glimpse at Soul. He was staring daggers at Kid. I felt a pang of guilt.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked as soon as Kid closed the door behind us. I sat on a chair while Kid sat on a patient bed.

"Lucy. She's a witch... isn't she?" He asked. I nodded, then shook my head remembering what that boy, Natsu, had told me.

"She isn't a witch. She's a mage. Apparently mages are magic users that most of them use for good. There are some mages that do bad things," I explained.

"Ok, then what kind of soul does she have?"

"I don't actually know. When I look at her soul, it doesn't show a weapon's, witch's, meister's, or even a regular human's soul. All it shows is a black, broken heart. But when I looked into her friend, Natsu's heart, it showed fire," I explained.

"Oh, that is weird. I read this book that explained the world of meisters, weapons, witches, regular humans, and those of the magic world. Actually we live on separate sections of the world. The two side are similar, yet different," He said, recalling on his memory.

"Oh, well-" I was cut off by how he continued to talk.

"There's something called 'The Rift.' It's some kind of border that separates our world and their world. People don't usually see it, but if you have some kind of... business to attend to on the other side, The Rift will let you through. It seems as if its alive and a living thing! But, The Rift can only work on days that the moon is full, or when the sun is in it's highest peak."

"Really? That would explain how I was lost when I was bringing Lucy back. So there's no other way in or out of The Rift?"

"Well, there's actually this person who takes you across, but he's really similar to a Kishin. He'll only guide you through if you gave him a mage's head or a human soul. Sometimes, you can give him strawberry cheesecake, because that's his favorite. But that rarely happens." Cheesecake? Wow, that guy is weird.

"Okay, so what's his name?"

"The Devourer of Souls." I slightly flinched. I have heard that name before. He's a master killer. No one knew if he was a weapon or a meister. But we just guessed that he was a weapon because, he ate all the victims' souls. But strangely enough, he disappeared around the time Asura was resurrected. I stayed quiet, and he did too. Everything became awkward. Why? I don't know. Wait, this is my chance! I can ask him if he likes me or not! And if he does, I'll turn him down. Soul is the perfect guy for me. And if I said no to him, our partnership might as well be ruined.

"Kid?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something... really important?"

"Sure."

I couldn't help but blush as I asked this question. "D-do you, m-mayb-be p-probably, l-like me?" I asked. The hole in my skirt was suddenly fascinating!

"Umm, yeah. What about you? Do you like me?" He asked so calm and collected. I didn't want to break his heart, but that's the only way I can stop liking Kid. I looked up at him and gave him a straight face.

"No." He deadpanned.

"Wha-what? But Liz said you liked me! How could she be wrong in her powers of love? I'm such a fool! Of course you don't like me! Who would like an idiot who's unsymmetrical? Why! Why! Why!" Kid said while on his knees and pounding the floor with his fist.

"Kid, calm down. I did like you, but now. I think I like someone else," I said thinking of Soul. He looked up at me and I flashed him a smile. Suddenly all his sadness faded from his face.

"Okay, we've got to get out of here. They're probably wondering where we've gone to," I said and opened the door. But as I opened the door, I found Liz and Pattie trying to overhear our conversation.

"Oh, haha, hey guys. We were just, haha, trying to... find the bathroom. Yeah! Pattie had to go really bad so, see ya later!" Liz yelled in between nervous laughs, and ran off. I looked at Soul and looked relieved. Wait, did he hear us talking too?

Okay! I'm done. Please review and click that follow/favorite button. I hoped you liked it. See you later!
