Maka's P.O.V:
I can't believe I had let something like that happen while Kid and I were still in school, it was stupid of me to distract him from his studying like that in the first place, I should've never let my feelings get the better of me at that point. Since that day (it has now been about two days since then) I've been giving Kid the cold shoulder a lot, which just leads him to act all innocent and charming, leading to me giving up and forgiving him, I never have been able to stay mad at him for very long.
Meanwhile our friends have been acting weird around us, and I mean really weird. Half the time they won't even talk to us for some odd reason, I have talked to Kid about this, but he just jokes that maybe they've found out our secret somehow, but there's no way that that could've happened, right?
….
Maka's P.O.V:
"Maka dear, could you come down here for a minute?" Death called to me from downstairs, as Kid and I were sitting on my bed in my bedroom, finishing off our homework together.
"Coming Dad!" I called back as I stood up from my bed.
"Ooo somebody's in trouble," Kid teased as he smirked to me, while I turned back to him.
"Shut up," I rolled my eyes with a slight smile, while Kid just chuckled slightly, before I turned back around and headed for my door, "Don't go through my things while I'm gone alright?"
"I would never dream of it," I heard Kid reply as I left my room, and headed downstairs.
"What's up Dad?" I asked as I walked into the downstairs lounge, as I saw Death talking with someone I didn't recognize.
"Ahh, Maka there you are, how are you today?" Death asked as he turned to me, and smiled.
"Fine, what did you call me for?" I asked as I could feel the un-easy tension that was in the air right now.
"Maka, someone has come here to see you," Death stated as he gestured to the person that he had been talking to.
I looked to the un-familiar person, with a wondering look, before they stood up from the chair they were sitting on and smiled to me. This person was a women that looked to be around her mid-thirties, she had long blonde hair just like mine (only her's was a little longer and brighter than mine), she had the same deep emerald eyes that I did, and her smile now started to seem awfully familiar to me.
"My, you sure have grown haven't you?" the women asked, while I just gave her a confused look.
"Who is this women Dad?" I asked as I looked back to Death.
"Maka this is Kami Grace, she's your Mother,"
'M-MY WHAT?!' Is what I was thinking as I looked to the women again, feeling completely confused now, while the women just continued to smile to me.
"I can't tell you how much I've missed you, Maka," I could see tears welling up in her eyes, while I just stood there, stunned.
"M-Mama?" I questioned while I tilted my head to the side slightly.
The women nodded with a smile to me as she wiped away her tears, and in that moment I instantly remembered that look, it was the look my Mama gave me on the night that she left my Papa and me, a day after they had gotten divorced, it was the look she gave me, as she kissed me on top of my head, and told me to, 'Be a good girl for her,' it was that same look. This was her, this was my Mama.
I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, as my breath hitched in my chest and I could feel my head starting to hurt, before I let a small sob escape my lips, and tightened my fists, "M-Mama, Mama," was all I could say, before I ran into my Mama's arms and cried.
I felt her arms wrap around me tightly, as she lay a light kiss on top of my head, as she cuddled me close to her, "It's alright, my baby girl, I'm here now," she whispered as I hiccupped slightly, while I sighed in my Mama's warm embrace.
"Where'd you go, why did you leave me with Papa like that?" I asked as I pulled out of my Mama's hug for a moment and looked up to her with tears streaming down my cheeks.
"I'm so sorry I left you like that, I never thought he would just give you away like he did, I promise I won't do that to you ever again," she stated with a smile, as she kissed my forehead, and wiped my tears away.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I looked to her, and then looked to Death, confused again for a minute.
"Well, Maka it has been brought to my attention that Kid and you have been engaging in acts that are not allowed between siblings, so in order for you and Kid to not get in any trouble for this, your Mother and I have decided it would be best if you lived with her from now on,"
My whole world came crashing down in the time of a mere second, as not only had Death found out about mine and Kid's secret, but he was now giving me up because of it.
"Y-you're sending me away?" I asked as I pulled away from my Mama's embrace now, and stepped back a few steps, looking horrified as I looked to my Mama, and then to Death, wishing that this was just some bad dream that I would wake up from any minute, but that didn't happen.
….
Writer's P.O.V:
"KID!"
Kid jumped slightly at the sound of his little sister calling to him loudly, as he stopped doing his homework, and stood up in a flash, rushing out of the room and downstairs a minute later.
"Listen, Maka it's okay, you just need to calm-"
"NO!" Maka cut her Dad off as she screamed back at him, while tears streamed down her cheeks.
"What's going on here?" Kid asked as he walked into the lounge, wondering what all the screaming was about.
"Kid!" Maka ran into her older brother's arms as she buried her head in his chest.
"Hey, what's wrong Maka?" Kid asked as he looked to his younger sister, while he wrapped his arms around her. Maka looked up to Kid as he smiled to her slightly and stroked her cheek, while she just sobbed slightly.
"They…Dad wants to send me away," she stated.
"What, why?" Kid asked as he now looked to his Dad with a surprised expression.
"Kid this is Maka's Mother, she's here to take Maka and live with her from now on," Death stated as he gestured to Maka's Mother again, and looked to his son.
"Why, she hasn't done anything wrong?" Kid asked as he held his little sister close to him in a protective sort of way.
"It's not what she's done, it's what you've both done,"
Kid's golden glowing eyes widened as he now was slowly realizing where this was going.
"Your friends told me about what they saw you two doing the other day while you two were both in school, and although it is absolutely not allowed, I don't want to see you two pay the price for this, so I'm afraid to say that this is your only option for the both of you," Death explained as he spoke with a serious look on his face, while Kami stood beside him, nodding slightly.
'Some friends they are,' Kid thought as he rolled his eyes, before he tried to think of a way out of this, where Maka could stay safe, "Fine," he decided pretty quickly.
"Then blame me, send me away, say that it was all my fault and I forced Maka into everything-
"Kid no, I don't want you take all the blame for something I played a big part in," Maka cut her older brother off as she looked up to him, wishing for him to not put all of this on him, "If I have to go I will go, I don't want you to get into trouble-
"I don't care Maka, all that matters is that you are in a place where I know you'll be safe," Kid cut Maka off this time as he looked back to her with a serious look, and kissed her on her forehead.
"But Kid….I don't want you to leave me as well," Maka looked to Kid with pleading eyes.
"I would never do that, Maka," Kid replied as he smiled, and stroked Maka's cheek.
"That wouldn't work Kid, even if you could take all the blame, Maka still wouldn't be able to stay here with me, she'd have to go into care, to end up living with some other family, wouldn't you rather her stay with her actual Mother, rather than with some other family that she doesn't know anything about?" Death asked, hoping that he could reason with his son.
"She hardly knows anything about her Mother though, she's been out of her life since she was a baby, how can you say that that's a better life for her?" Kid asked with an angered look in his golden eyes.
"Because this is a way that Maka can actually get to know her real Mother, besides she'll be safe with her Mother," Death smiled as he looked to Kami, while she just nodded again and smiled slightly to Kid, "Shouldn't she be with her real family, Kid?"
"I am with my real family, you and Kid have been more of a family to me, than my actual parents ever were, after all both of them abounded me," Maka stated as she moved out of Kid's embrace slightly, and looked to Death with the same angered look as Kid.
"Maka, listen this was always meant to be just a temporary thing, I was never meant to adopt you as my daughter, so now when you go with your Mother, you won't be my daughter anymore, and soon 'Death' will be removed from you name," Death explained as he was now not taking no for an answer from his two children.
Maka gasped slightly as she looked upto Kid for help a second later, while he seemed unsure about his feelings for a minute, as he looked to his Dad, and then back to Maka, before sighing heavily, "Maybe they're right Maka,"
"WHAT? But Kid…" Maka was shocked as she pulled herself out of Kid's embrace, and backed away from him, as she felt like even he was now against her.
"Look Maka, I don't want us to be apart either, but if this is the only way for both of us to get out of this without getting into trouble, and it seems like it is, then you should go and be with your real Mother," Kid explained as he hated having to say all to his sister, he really didn't want her to leave like this, but it didn't seem like there were any better options here.
"Kid…" Maka was speechless as tears started to stream down her cheeks again, now she really wished that this was all some bad dream, but it wasn't.
"Hey don't give me that look," Kid smiled as he walked upto Maka, "We'll see each other again right?" he asked as he stroked Maka's cheek.
Maka just nodded slightly as she closed her eyes and nuzzled into Kid's gentle touch more, before he kissed her on her forehead lightly again. Opening her eyes and giving him a smile in return a second later, while she rested her hand over Kid's.
Maka sighed deeply as she moved Kid's hand away from her cheek, and looked to him with a smile, while he smiled and winked back to her, before she looked back to Death and her Mother, taking a deep breath, feeling ready to move on now.
"I'll go and pack my things," She stated, as she soon disappeared upstairs.
….
Maka's P.O.V:
I sighed as I looked around my bedroom that I had come to love in this old mansion, as I started to pack up my clothes, books, and all my other belongings. I felt heartbroken as I looked over the pictures that hung up on my wall, one of them was of me and the other three girls all hanging out, one was of me and the rest of the group (without Kid), another one was of all the gang together (along with Kid), and the last one was very recent, which was a small photo of all of us with Soul, not long after Black star had introduced him to us all.
However looking at them and packing them away was nothing compared to how I felt when I looked at the three framed pictures that were sitting up-right on top of my bedside table. the first one was one of Kid, Death and I not long after Death had adopted me as his own daughter, the next one was a fairly big picture of us three all standing and smiling together not long after my sixtieth birthday had passed, and the last one was a fairly small picture of Kid and I when he had not long gotten out of the hospital at the age of eight (I was six at this time).
I wiped my tear-filled eyes, as I picked up that last picture and traced Kid's face with my first two fingers, remembering that frail little boy that will always be my protector, no matter what.
I smiled slightly as I packed the picture away, and looked over my bedroom as I sat on my bed and breathed in the lavender scented air fresher happily, before I noticed something, and turned to see Kid's unfinished homework still on my bed (along with mine).
A few minutes ago, I nor Kid could've known that something like this would be happening, that I would actually be leaving, but I knew that one day I would come back and see Kid again, no matter what.
…...
Maka's P.O.V:
"Okay, I'm all packed and ready, are we going?" I asked reluctantly as I looked to Death and my Mama, as I was now back downstairs, and all ready to go.
"Oh yes, but just so you know Maka, we're making a few stops on the way, you need to say goodbye to all your friends after all," my Mother stated with a smile.
"I'm not moving that far away from them, am I?" I asked.
"No, but you won't be going to the same school as them from now on," she stated with a nervous look in her eyes.
"Fine," I really didn't want to even see any of my so-called 'friends' right now, not after they told Death about mine and Kid's secret, however it's not like I can blame for what they did, Death was going to find out sooner or later anyway, I just wish they would've come and talked to Kid and I before they went to our Dad.
I sighed heavily again, as my Mama took my bags and went to go and put them in her car (which had been parked up outside the mansion), while I turned back to Death and Kid.
Death smiled to me, as I saw tears welling up in his eyes, I smiled back to him, before I hugged him tightly, "Thank you for everything I guess, you were more of a Dad to me than I ever could have ever asked for Death,"
"You're welcome Maka," he replied to me as he hugged me back tightly in return, before I let go of him and smiled to him again, wiping my deep emerald eyes, before I turned to Kid.
"I'm gonna really miss you Kid," I stated as I hugged Kid tightly.
"I'll miss you too, Maka," I heard him reply as he hugged me back, and smiled to me, before I looked back upto him with a smile, and he kissed my forehead lightly.
"Don't be too hard on our friends when you see tham, alright?"
"Okay," I chuckled slightly with a nod, as Kid stroked my cheek again, and I was now slowly getting lost in his golden glowing eyes.
"Come on Maka, we need to get going," my Mama called to me as she walked back into the lounge and smiled to me again.
"Yeah I'm coming now, Mama," I called back as I smiled back to her, before I turned to Kid again.
"I love you Kid," I whispered with a smile.
"I love you too, Maka," Kid whispered back to me, before he kissed my lips, and I blushed deeply, closing my eyes, and kissing him back a second later, making sure that if this was indeed our last kiss, that it would feel memorable enough for the both of us.
Our lips parted as we both smiled to each other again, and Kid kissed my forehead lightly again, before he let go of me, and I walked back over to my Mother now.
"You ready girly?" my Mother asked with a smile.
"Yeah," I smiled back to her with a nod, as I gave Kid and Death one last wave goodbye, and turned to leave out the door.
"Maka wait…" I heard Kid call out to me, as I stopped in my tracks, and turned back around to look to him, wondering what he was going to say.
"I'll wait for you, okay?" he stated with a smile.
"For how long," I asked with wide eyes.
"For forever if I have to, I'll be here when you come back, I promise,"
I nodded to him happily as I could feel tears welling up in my eyes again, and just let them slowly run down my cheeks this time, "Then I promise I'll be back as soon as I can," I replied with a smile.
"Goodbye Maka,"
"Goodbye Kid,"
We shared out last goodbyes, before my Mama and I left out the big front double doors of the old mansion, that I had learned to call my home, having Death and Kid wave us off as we left in the car.
'Well I may not be able to be by Kid's side anymore, but I know that he'll always be here waiting for me, so I better not keep him waiting long,' I thought with a smile as I sat slouched in the passenger seat of my Mama's car, while we had just drove away from my old home, 'We'll see each other again Kid, I just know it.'
...
And so Maka has now left her old life with Death and Kid behind her, and is ready to move on with her new life with her real Mother. But don't worry, this isn't the end, I will be posting an epilogue sometime next week, so look forward to it :D
