Whoopsie daisy, I'm sorry for uploading so late but I've been very busy with school and stuff. And thank you all so much for the follows, alerts and reviews that I got from all of you . Well let's start this thing, shall we?

"What is this?" Maka held up the big wooden box. Soul stared at her in disbelief.

"That's my brother's chess board..." The pale boy said with a sadness in his voice that surprised Maka. She placed the chess board on the right side of Soul and sat down on his left side. The green eyed girl leaned with her head against his shoulder as a sign that he could trust her too.

"We used to play it all the time...Whether it rained or not we played it. If the sun was shining we played it outside in the grass. I could never beat him but as long as we played together it was fine. He didn't laugh at me or made fun of me if I lost. He was the best big brother you could wish for... He died 5 years ago and I still kept this chess board. This was his room." Soul told. He didn't want to cry in front of Maka, he didn't want to look weak. He succeeded and let out a deep sigh.

"T-That's horrible... I'm so sorry for asking." Maka said, still leaning against the now shivering silver haired boy.

"It's okay, you didn't know. You were just curious and I understand that." He replied.

"Do you remember my promise? About telling you about myself when I was ready for it?" The innocent girl asked.

"Yes, why?" He simply replied. He sure was curious but still didn't wanted to force her into doing something she didn't want to.

"I think I trust you..." She said in a serious voice. "Well you already know I'm Spirit's daughter... He abused me when I was younger. But before that something even more terrible happened... My dad always went out and came back late in the night with another woman. When my mom found out about this she wanted to divorce but my dad threatened to kill her if she did. 1 year of arguing went by when my mom finally found the courage to stand up for herself. My dad punched her when I walked into the living room..." Maka had to breathe deeply in and out before continuing with her story.

"H-he killed her right in front of my eyes... I ran to my room but he was much faster than me. He grabbed me by my arm and dragged me out of the hallway. He put me down on the couch and told me to never talk about this again... Years of torture went by and I slowly became numb for all sorts of pain, inside and outside... I began cutting when I was afraid to never feel again. I ran away and that's where you come in..." Maka ended with a deep sigh.

Soul was speechless... Now he finally understood why she was so insane when they first met...

"I'm so sorry for you Maka..." The pale boy pulled her in for a hug. She didn't cry, not anymore... She felt saver than ever before.


*The following morning.*

The sound of the snoring, pale boy woke the innocent girl up. She looked around and realised she was in her room. Then why was Soul sleeping next to her? The memories of the night before came back to her. They fell asleep together after she finished her backstory...She came closer to his ear, just like the other time she had woken Soul up.

"Soul... Time to wake up." She said in her sweet voice. The silver haired boy opened one eye. He jumped up when he realised he was in the same bed as Maka. This made the girl chuckle. The memories slowly came back to him and he let his body fall on the bed again.

"The mission of today has been cancelled, looks like we have nothing to do for today." Soul said disappointed. That brought Maka to a brilliant idea.

"Yes we do!" She almost yelled. The green eyed girl picked up the big wooden box that was still standing on the bed.
