"Ah Maka your hair is so pretty." Kami brushes a small Maka's hair. She puts her hair in pig tails before giving her a hug from behind.
"Hehee now it's my turn." Maka grins,grabbing the brush from her mother. Kami blinks but she smiles.
"of course. Make me beautiful."
"I will!" Maka gets to work on brushing her mother's hair.
"How kind you are Maka..." Kami's voice sounds distant. "I've noticed you've been getting into more arguments with the mayor's child, Kid-"
"It's because he thinks he's a know it all." Maka huffs. "I'm much smarter than him!"
"Now I think you two could get along. It's nice having someone to talk to that has similar likes-"
"We aren't similar at all!"
"Really?" Kami teases. She seems to think again. Maka keeps brushing her hair. "...I wonder if you don't like him because...you sense it."
"Hmm?" Maka blinks.
"No...I shouldn't think like that." Kami shakes her hed. "Maka no matter what...you must keep who you are. You are a kind girl. You are my sweet baby. No matter what truths you learn in the future...You are you...and Kid is Kid."
"Well yeah I'm me. I'll never not be me." Maka chuckles. "Mom why are you-" Maka had closed her eyes for a second. In that second her mother has disappeared from her sight. "Mom...?" The house seems to be empty. Maka gets up to start looking for her mother. There's no one.
Maka freezes when she sees a tall shadow at the end of the hallway. It's staring right at her...with three vertical eyes. She shivers wanting to escape but she finds her body walking towards it. Just as she gets to it...the shadow fades. In its place is a door. A panic starts to fill her for reasons unknown. She pushes on the door with all her might and it bursts open.
Her mother lays on the floor. Her hands missing and her head detached from her body. Her glossy eyes are staring right at her.
It's not real. It's not real.
The stench of blood is making her nauseous yet all she can do is stare back at her mother's severed head. Then...it starts to talk.
"Remember...you are you...and Kid is Kid."
Maka screams, her vision exploding white. She shuts her eyes tightly, willing herself to be taken away from this nightmare. This isn't real. This didn't happen. Take her from here before she loses her mind!
Just then Maka feels a shift.
She's back in that forest with the starless sky. The vision of her mother's chopped up body is gone. The smell is gone too.
"Scary isn't it? The fate that waits for witches at the hands of witch hunters." The cloaked figure stands in front of her. "...How could you even think of being one of them?"
Maka doesn't respond..tears are still falling down her face.
"Your mother was a fool. For her to even say those words...As if it didn't matter what that boy is. Maybe she hated you deep down? To ever even push you to befriend a boy like him-"
"Don't you ever fucking say that." Maka snaps, her eyes flaring. "My mother never hated me!"
"...She never truly loved you-"
"Fuck you!" Maka growls. "You don't know shit about my mother!"
"I know more than you." The woman sighs. " Oh poor Maka..you don't know anything about Kami do you? It's sad really. Kami kept so much from you..and now all this bad is happening to you..and it's all her fault-
"Shut the fuck up! My mom has had nothing to do with all this." She growls taking a step forward, her fist gripped.
"She has had everything to do with this." The woman sighs. "..Kami messed with the wrong people and she didn't have enough to pay for it..in turn all this horrible things are transferred to you..and yet you don't even know..do you?"
"Leave me alone." Maka pants, turning her back to this woman.
"Do you even know what you are Maka?" The woman takes a step closer. "I know you don't."
"I'm a teenage girl with too many fucking problems." She growls ."That's what I am."
"Besides that..you're missing some valuable information.." The woman walks so she's in front of her, she holds out her hand. "Please..come to me..let me tell you everything..let me make you what you truly are Maka."
"I'm already what I am." She growls. "I don't need you to be me."
"Ah, but you need me to be so much more." The woman takes a step forward. "..Trust me Maka..I can help you..together we can get this curse off of you..trust in me.."
"Fuck off!" Maka growls, her eyes flaring.
"..Fine." She pulls her hand away. "..but heed this warning.." The woman starts to fade away. "..Be wary of the mayor and his son...You and him cannot live together. If he found out the truth he would kill you without hesitation."
Then she disappears.
"No matter what..." Maka remembers her mother's smile. "...I am me. That's all I am."
Everything disappears.
"Maka...Maka wake up." A voice is calling her. She's being pushed. Maka's body feels heavy. She doesn't remember what she dreamed but whatever it was...has weighed her down. "Maka." The voice calls her again. It's warm. She feels a warm hand on her cheek before she feels something soft against her lips. A kiss. Such a soft kiss truly.
It causes her eyes to flutter open. Golden orbs are looking into hers. It's Kid. He's giving her an apologetic smile. "Good morning Maka. I know it's early but it's time to start your training to be a witch hunter."
"Ah!" Maka sits up, looking at the time. She starts to cough when she sees it's only six in the morning. "Really?! This early?!" Maka groans, looking at Kid who nods.
"We run every morning to keep our bodies in shape. It's important for you to get use to running. You have to be fast Maka. Of course...If you'd rather sleep and not be a witch hunter that's fine too. It's much safer if you-"
"Oh hell no. I'm going." Maka huffs, forcing herself up. She changes into some shorts and a t shirt. Kid averted his gaze just in time before she started ripping off her clothes in frustration. "Ugh I'm seriously going to rip apart the next witch I see for making me do something so stupid!"
"You're doing this to yourself." Kid chuckles when Maka glares at him. "Come on. Father is waiting for us in front of the house." Kid walks up to her. He gives her another soft kiss on the lips, his hand grabbing hers. He gives her a squeeze.
"...I'd probably be more motivated right now if you had let me play with you last night-"
"M-Maka come now...I.." he flushes. Last night Kid had slept in the same bed as her again. All they ended up doing was kissing a little bit and cuddling. Kid is so firm on weird things. She might have to get a bit more aggressive if she wants things to move along in the bedroom. "F-Father is waiting for us."
"Yeah, yeah." Maka sighs but she keeps holding Kid's hand. They make their way outside. Sure enough the Mayor is grinning at her.
"Rise and shine Maka! It's time to get that body moving! You have to be faster then the witches! Now first lets stretch!" The mayor tells her to follow his movements so she does. They spend ten minutes just stretching their bodies. Maka's ashamed to admit that she already feels the pulling in her muscles. "Now the jog! Try to keep up Maka!" The mayor takes off. Maka follows his lead and starts to jog after him and Kid.
At first she keeps pace with the two but soon she can feel her chest get tight. Seeing how the mayor and Kid are barely breaking a sweat makes her keep pushing herself. It feels like they've been running forever. No matter what she does she can't move faster to keep up with them...she can barely keep jogging.
Kid slows down so he's jogging next to her. "Are you alright?" His eyebrows furrow.
"I'm...Fine...This...Is...nothing..." Maka gets out through gasps. "Just...go on ahead. I'm keeping up."
"Kid are you babying her?" The mayor looks back at them. "Starting off has always been hard but we can't go easy on her. For her sake."
"...Maybe we could cut the jog short-"
"No!" Maka says before the mayor could. "Kid...I'm...going to catch up to you...so you better try your hardest alright?" Maka pushes herself so she passes Kid. He stares at her with wide eyes before he smiles.
"yes...I better be careful." He picks up his speed, being right behind his father again. That's fine. She's still running. She will get faster. She'll get better. She can't give up.
By the end of the jog Maka is sitting on the ground, breathing heavily, sweat dripping down her back. Kid rushes in to get her some water. Just taking it from him makes her feel weak though. She wishes he would stop being such a mother hen.
"..Thanks." Maka grumbles, taking the water before drinking it.
"Now that the run is over it's time for combat training!" The mayor chimes. He isn't going easy at all.
"...Are you alright to move on?" Kid asks.
"yes. Of course." Maka forces herself up. The mayor ushers her to the back yard of their mansion. He leads her to the shed.
"Now pick your weapon."
"Hell yeah." Maka perks up. This is what she's been waiting for. She looks around the shed for anything that catches her eye. She doesn't want to use an ax. Spear seems like it sucks. Then in the back she spots it. A scythe. "I want that one."
"A scythe?" Kid frowns. "That's a little hard for a beginner-"
"I want that one. I'll look so bad ass."
"Aw Kid let her pick what she wants. I'm sure she'll feel if she can get the hang of it or not." The mayor grabs the scythe and hands it to Maka. It's lighter than she thought it would be. The blade shows her reflection as she looks into it. It's so sharp. Maka grins.
"I'm like the grim reaper with this! Those witches are going to piss their pants!" Maka waves the scythe around, Kid and the Mayor jumping back.
"Careful!" Kid is fretting.
"Good start!" The mayor hums. "Now I want you to try to cut up these dummies with the scythe. We need you to get use to the weapon first." The mayor points at the straw dummies in the back.
"I'll slice right through them!" Maka walks up to her first target. She pulls back the scythe to swing. She swings with a bit too much force. She goes through the straw dummy and almost goes through her leg. She was able to stop it in time but...She has to be aware of how much force she needs.
"That was way too close! Maka why don't you try an ax like me-"
"No I got this Kid!" Maka huffs.
"Lets keep at it!"The mayor claps. "Keep getting use to swinging the blade."
"Right!" Maka isn't giving up on using the scythe. She feels like she was born to use this weapon.
"Ow." Maka groans. All her muscles feel sore. She hisses when Kid puts some antibiotic spray on her arm. She ended up nicking herself with the scythe towards the end of her training. Kid through a fit and they had to stop. It was probably a good time to stop anyway with it getting dark out but still...Maka felt like she was getting it. She was cutting up the dummies pretty good and she was starting to get use to how she had to move her body to avoid getting cut. She just made a little slip up with the last one.
"Jeez I told you the scythe was a dangerous weapon. I wish you would go with an Ax." Kid mumbles as he inspects the wound. He wraps her arm in gauze.
"It's just a scratch Kid." Maka rolls her eyes. "I was doing great! I'll get the hang of it in no time. Just have some faith in me."
"It's not that I don't believe in you...I just..." Kid bites his lip. "I don't want you to be in anymore danger than you already are."
"I'll be so cool with the scythe you'll be jealous. You just have to give me some time." Maka smirks. "...And maybe dress some wounds here and there."
"That's what I'm worried about."
"Oh come on. It's not bad." Maka grabs Kid's cheeks and starts to pull. "I bet you get cut like this all the time! Or you use to when you were training to be a witch hunter."
"I did but...It's okay if it's me." Kid gently takes Maka's hands off his cheeks. Maka feels a strange fluttering in her stomach when he kisses her finger tips. "I know..I know I'm being overbearing."
"It's alright." Maka sighs. "But you know what you could do to make me feel better?"
"What?"
"Make me some food."
"What would you like?" Kid chuckles.
"Hmm...Some grilled cheese."
"You eat grilled cheese too much."
"You never can eat enough grilled cheese! Come on! I'm injured over here."
"I thought you said it was just a scratch." Kid looks amused but he goes to make her the grilled cheese. He makes some for himself too.
"Alright now that I've eaten." Maka wipes her mouth of crumbs. "Now it's time to take a shower. Kid take one with me-"
"No."
"You're stingy. So stingy. Is this how you treat your girlfriend?"
"Maka we've only been dating for a little more than a day. I don't want to ruin this with you-"
"I'm the one asking for it though." Maka sighs when she sees that look on his face. She's too tried to fight with him. "Well you're sleeping in bed with me at least right?"
"Of course. I wont' leave your side."
Kid once again follows her into the bathroom for her shower. He once again doesn't look at her and just stays there to keep the demon away. After she washes up, Kid leaves to wash up in his own room. That blonde Servant comes to take his place. She sits on the bed waiting for him to come back. She feels so tired. That took a lot out of her.
"You've had a busy day lady Maka." This woman starts to talk to her.
"Yeah." Maka doesn't really want to say anything else. She's staring at her. She doesn't say anything else. She just smiles at her. It's...It's starting to make her skin crawl. Just when the woman opens her mouth, Kid walks in. She just says her goodbyes and leaves. "That servant is weird."
"Cassie? Why?" Kid waits for Maka to turn on her night light before he shuts off the big light. He comes up to the bed and gets in next to her.
"I don't know...she just gives me the creeps." Maka mumbles.
"If you don't like her I can get another servant to watch over you." Kid holds open his arms. Maka moves so she's laying against his chest. He wraps his arms around her. His warmth is making her even more sleepy.
"Nah...To be honest they all kind of give me the creeps. I'm just weird like that." Maka mumbles into his chest. He starts to run his hands through her hair. She can't do much to fight against him like this. She's too tired to try anything.
Kid kisses her on the forehead and strokes her back. He loves showing all this affection. She wishes he was a weaker man. Then she wouldn't have to try so hard to get him to do dirty things with her. She gets his point. They haven't been together long. Maka doesn't see it like that. She doesn't care much about the tittle of girlfriend. She just wants to mess around. Maybe she's a slut. Maybe Kid will make a good girl out of her yet.
She's lured to sleep by his heart beat and her aching muscles.
It's been a two weeks. Two weeks of getting up in the morning at six in the morning to jog. Have breakfast. Then train in the backyard for most of the day. Have dinner. Do school work. Shower. Sleep. Maka is seeing progress of course. She's able to move the scythe much better then she was when she started. She can even run while holding the scythe now. The mayor said she has a talent. He might be just being nice but it makes her feel good.
She's gotten cut a couple of times and of course Kid makes a big deal about it every time. He worries too much about her. She needs to be able to stand on her own.
Speaking of Kid...She's been too tired to try anything. Despite being together, all they do is Kiss and cuddle. It's frustrating. She snapped at him again today too when he started to fret over her. His concern makes her angry. She's trying to stand to be his equal yet he keeps trying to push her back. She gets that he doesn't want her to get hurt.
It's just...frustrating.
Maka is in bed, waiting once again for Kid to come back after his shower. She stares up at the ceiling, her body is so sore. She could barely make it up the stairs. She must be...reaching her limit. Maka grinds her teeth at the thought. She needs to keep at it. She needs to get stronger.
Once she finds out who cursed her, who killed her mom...She'll be ready to cut her to pieces.
Her necklace starts to heat up. Maka is too tired to react. She glances around, wondering why it's getting hot. She freezes when she sees that Servant again. That blonde woman. She's staring at her from the bathroom. Maka knew she was in here but...she didn't see her move. She's staring at her so intensely...with this blank look on her face. Her necklace is getting hotter.
"Hey you..." Maka makes out. "Why are you-"
Suddenly the woman's neck bends, it making a snapping sound. She continues to stare at her, blood trickling down her lips. Maka tries to jump up but her body feels frozen. "You...You don't belong here." she whispers. "Wake up."
Maka feels a pressure on her neck. Just when she's about to scream-
"I'm back so you can leave." Kid walks into the room. Maka blinks. The pressure is gone. The servant is fine. Her neck isn't broken. She's just standing against the wall. She nods and leaves. Maka...is sweating. "Maka? Maka are you okay?" Kid hurries over towards her. He touches her forehead. His eyes widen. "You're burning up!"
"I...I'm fine. I..." Maka starts to panic when she tries to tell him what she saw. Why can't she? Why is she...like this?
"You are not." Kid goes into the bathroom to wet a rag. He places the cold rag on her forehead.
"Kid I'm fine. Lets just go to bed." Maka wants to just sleep. She feels exhausted. Kid turns on her night light before shutting all the lights off. He gets in the blanket with her, pulling her shivering body close to him.
"Hey..." Maka mumbles, feeling strange. Her body feels light. She can't get that woman with the broken neck out of her head. "...Do I...belong here?"
"Of course you do." Kid strokes her hair. "...You're doing great Maka. You've seen so much progress in these two weeks. I know I fuss but...you're doing great. You're going to make a fine witch hunter. You belong here...with me."
With those words Maka feels like she can go to sleep. She lets herself go.
Why are you ignoring me? Why are you ignoring your fears?" The woman looks down at the girl who is just laying on the ground..her eyes blank and unblinking.
Maka doesn't respond to her.
"You need to open your eyes to what you are...before it is too late."
Maka can't speak.
"..By this rate..the mayor and his son will find out what you are before you do.." She shakes her head. "Is it so hard for you to understand? or is it just you don't want to accept the truth?"
When she doesn't respond the woman sighs.
"..Your mind has shattered already?..What a waste.."
Darkness is slowly wrapping around Maka but she doesn't fight it.
"..You could have been great Maka..We could have been great if you would just listen to me."
The darkness wraps up to her waist, getting her trapped in a cocoon.
"..You have lost your mind.." The woman fades away. "..He will be here soon to claim what is his..Such a pity."
Maka doesn't care. She's just so tired.
The forest around changes to darkness.
She closes her eyes...What is she doing? Isn't there something she has to do?...Why can't she do anything?
"Maka! Maka where are you?" Kid's voice. It's breaking the darkness.
She can't respond..she's stuck..
"Don't give up. I told you. You belong here. You belong with me."
Maka opens her eyes and looks at the three vertical eyes that are staring into her..staring into her soul..
She can't see Kid..
Only the eyes.
"...Maka I need you. Don't leave me." The boy's soft voice hits a chord in her heart. "Don't leave me!."
"I won't!" Maka shouts finding her voice as a fire burns her being.. glaring at the three eyes.
..She can't give up..
She has a purpose. She'll be a witch hunter. She'll get revenge...And she'll do it by staying by Kid's side..
At that moment a light fills up all darkness.
Maka wakes up feeling like shit. She feels like she dug her way out of hell. The first thing she notices is that there's no warmth around her. Kid is gone.
"What?" Maka starts to panic. The covers are ripped from her. Maka sits up, expecting that crazy servant to be there but there's no one. The blanket ripped off of her by itself. The necklace feels like it's going to burn into her flesh. It's the demon. It has to be. Maka doesn't know what to do. She feels the demon. As if it's just standing at the end of her bed.
Why isn't' Kid in here? Why would he leave her alone?
She feels like something is sitting on her chest. It's getting harder to breathe. Come on. Don't be afraid. Don't give it power. Maka tries to calm down but it's getting harder and harder to breathe.
"Kid!" Maka squeaks out. Wanting him to come running through the door. Wanting him to get rid of all her fears.
"Why do you rely on that pathetic boy?" A voice. Maka turns her head slowly. There's a woman standing beside her. She stares down at her with cold blue eyes. Her hair is black like midnight. There's a bruise on her neck.
"Who-" Maka knows this woman is a witch. Not only that...but there's something very dead about her eyes. They don't shine. There's no life in them. Looking at her, Maka can't help to blurt out what she's thinking. "...Are you...Kid's mom?" The facial structure reminds her of him.
"Don't call me that things mom. If only I was able to kill him and his fool of a father. My spawn is going around killing my kind!" She snarls. "...Then there's you. I think you're worse."
Maka forces herself to get up. She doesn't have a weapon but she needs to shut her up. She'll kill her with her bare hands if she has to. Her legs give out and she falls to her knees. A wave of nausea hits her hard.
"Look at you. You can't even stand up to face me." She crackles. "Shouldn't you be more worried about the demon than me?"
That pressure is coming back. It's pushing on her stomach and chest. She can't help it. She ends up puking on the floor, her body convulsing. Her puke...it's pure black. What is this? What is this taste and smell in her throat and nose? Everything burns.
"Gross!" The woman chuckles. "So gross! You're just perfect for that boy. You both...make the grossest beings I've seen."
Maka forces herself to get up. A rage is filling her. She reaches out for this witch but she just moves back. Maka trips over herself, landing in the black liquid she puked up. The liquid reaches out like a hand grabbing her. She screams and tries to grab onto something to keep herself still but she just keeps sinking into the puddle. The pressure is too much.
Shes' covered in darkness.
Maka blinks. It looks like shes' standing in one of the rooms in the mansion. She freezes when she sees that witch laying in bed. She looks very much alive. She doesn't look at her or even notice her in the room. Soon the mayor and a couple of servants come into the room. They smile, the mayor looks like he's shed some tears. He's holding a bundle in his hands.
"My dear you've given birth to a beautiful baby boy." the mayor says, starting to walk towards her.
"what?" The smile on her face disappears. "Did you say a boy?"
"Yes. A baby boy-"
"Don't bring that trash anywhere near me!" The woman screams. Her eyes darting around the room. "How dare you...how dare you give me a boy!" She grinds her teeth.
"What?" The mayor looks so confused. He holds the baby that started crying close to his chest. "What re you saying? What's gotten into you-"
"She's just disillusion from the labor." A servant cuts in. She walks up to the witch, offering her water.
"...What did you just say? Me? Disillusioned? No...No I don't accept this. I acted like I loved you. You should have given me a girl. This...I won't let this failure live." The woman points at the servant. She suddenly sets on fire. The woman screams, running around the room while her flesh melts. The mayor only stands there with wide eyes, not comprehending what he just saw.
"what...how?" The woman stops running. Her burnt corpse now on the floor. The mayor takes a step back when the witch gets out of bed. She's smirking. "Dear what is-"
"Don't call me your dear." the woman hisses. "You still don't understand? I'm a witch and you give me a boy? You have disgraced me. I'm going to end you and I'm going to end that trash." She breaks a vase and sends the shards flying towards the mayor.
"Move!" Maka shouts, trying to shove the mayor. She goes right through him. What...What is this? The mayor jumps out of the way, holding Kid close to his chest.
The mayor runs out of the room. Maka runs with him but that witch is right on him.
"C-Come to your senses! A witch? Is that what you really are? Why...Why does that matter? Don't you love me-"
"I've never loved you." She chuckles darkly. "Witches...we can't love. I just wanted a child from you. I just wanted a girl. You're no good. I'll kill you without batting an eyelash!"
"You...It can't be! We've been together for five years! Why would you...be with me for that long if you just wanted a child."
"You have money. You have a healthy body and a smart mind. I was sure a strong man like you would surely give me a girl...but I was wrong."
They end up in the living room...with the fireplace. Maka notices the plaque on the wall immediately. It has a ax on it.
"Mayor! You have to kill her!" Maka pleads. She knows she must be seeing the past. She knows that they make it out of this but it's making her nervous seeing the Mayor hesitate. He'd never hesitate now but here...he's scared. He's confused. He's still looking at this woman like...he loves her.
"Now stay still." the woman breaks the window. She sends the shards everywhere. There's no way the Mayor can dodge. He turns his back, keeping Kid close to him. The shards pierce into his back. He cries out in agony as he falls to his knees. He tries to keep a hold of Kid but he's losing his grip. The witch easily takes Kid from the mayor as he falls on his side. He's bleeding badly.
"No...This isn't how this goes." Maka tries to grab Kid from this woman but she can't do anything.
"He's even taken after you completely. Golden eyes and those white lines. How did this come out of me?!" She growls.
"You...You never loved me...will you really...kill our baby?" The mayor wheezes out.
"Of course I will." her fingernails are getting dangerously close to Kid's eyes. Maka was so focused on Kid that she hadn't noticed...The mayor is up. He has the ax in his hand. With one swift movement he buries the ax into this woman's head. When she screams the Mayor swings again, this time aiming for the neck. Her head flies off of her shoulders.
The mayor grabs Kid before the baby crumpled with her body. Kid cries, covered in his mother's blood. The mayor sits on the floor, cradling Kid. There's tears falling down his face as he stares at this woman's body.
"I...I wish I was just crazy...I didn't want to kill you. I didn't...why...why did you try to kill our baby?" The mayor trembles, still holding Kid against his chest. The pain is evident in his eyes. It's hard to look at. This man is always smiling. He's so bubbly.
He was hiding this pain all along. He's been fighting witches ever since. He knows first hand...how cruel they can be.
Maka tenses when the witch's body gets up. She grabs her head, holding it up by the hair. The witch is looking right at her with those dead eyes. "Why do you pity him? Don't you see my fate is going to be your fate?"
"I'll never end up like you. I'm going to kill the witch that cursed me. Then this curse will be over with. You're dead because you're a piece of shit. Kid grew up to be great without you. Because he has a father that loves him with all his heart. You're just a rotting corpse."
"Hahaha! You're a bitch you know that? How dare you think you're different from me. I can't wait. Oh I can't wait till it bites you in the ass! I hope your fate is ten times worse. I hope you lose your mind. You place yourself above me? How much despair will it bring when you find out the truth? I can't wait. I really can't. Suffer. Suffer." The head laughs.
Maka feels something grab her legs. She tries to fight it but she can't. It pulls her back into the darkness. All she can hear is that witch crackling.
When Maka comes to...She's laying on the bedroom floor. Laying in her own vomit. There's dried puke on her face and her wrist is killing her. Her head is pounding. She can't move. She can't do anything. The necklace is hurting her.
It's still warning her...that the demon is near. She got so heated in that dream...she's sure the Demon fed on that. She tries to force herself up but it's like her body won't listen to her. She can't get that nasty woman out of head. What was that? Why would she see her? Did the demon do that? Is what she saw...actually how it went down?-
Suddenly the bedroom door opens. Her necklace stops burning. The air gets lighter. She can smell chicken noodle soup even through her puke crusted nostrils. There's a slight gasp and she knows it's Kid. He probably can't tell she's on the floor from this angle but he sees she isn't in bed.
Maka said she wanted Kid to come back. She's relieved that he's here but at the same time...ashamed. She is so gross. She can't even more or say anything to him. Not that it matters. Kid places down whatever he was holding and comes around. He freezes when his eyes lock with hers.
"Oh my god Maka!" He's quick to rush towards her. He helps her sit up despite her being covered in puke.
"Why...Why did you leave me?" That's the first thing out of her mouth. It isn't what she she wanted to makes her feel even more pathetic.
"I'm so sorry. I went to make you some soup and to get some medication. I told a servant to stay with you so I thought it would be okay-" Kid looks remorseful. He blinks when he realizes something. He looks around, his eyebrows furrowing. He grinds his teeth. Those golden orbs flare. "Where is she?"
Maka groans, feeling lightheaded. Kid shakes off that anger that was building. " Here Maka I'll help you get washed up." He picks her up like a bride. He picks her up like she weighs nothing. Maka wants to say something. She's getting puke all over him. It's so nasty. He doesn't react to it at all. He carries her to the bathroom, sitting her down against the wall just so he can get a bath going. "...I...I really am sorry. I should have gotten a servant to make the food for you. I...I just wanted to do it myself."
"..."Maka tries to say it's alright but her voice is hoarse. She has a lot she wants to say. "...I messed up training didn't I?"
"That doesn't matter Maka. You've been working yourself too hard. You got sick. You had a slight fever last night and started sweating this morning. You'll continue when you're better...and I'll hold off training till you can. Don't push yourself."
"...How long were you gone?" Her voice seems to have an attitude. Not even one she's trying to have. Like she's accusing Kid of something.
"About 30 minutes." Kid takes the warm rag and starts to wipe her face, getting rid of the dry puke. "...Did the demon attack?"
Maka nods her head, closing her eyes from feeling the nice hot rag. He even wipes up her arms of the puke too. The bathroom is getting steamy from the heat from the bath water filling up.
"Can you tell me what happen Maka?"
"It's getting stronger. It was able to pull the blankets from off of me. I...I might have made a mistake too." Maka thinks of that cursed woman. The anger she felt. The fear of losing Kid...She knows that made the demon stronger. She couldn't hold her emotions in.
"A mistake?"
Maka opens her mouth just to close it. How does she say this?...Does she even know if what she saw was real? Or if she really saw Kid's mom? What if that was the demon? Tricking her? "...I saw a vision. A vision of the past I think. Of your past."
"Of my past?" Kid blinks. When Maka doesn't look at him, he touches her cheek so she looks at him again. "You can tell me."
"I...I think I saw your mom Kid." Maka swallows.
"My mother?" Kid's eyes widen. His eyebrows furrow. "...Why would you see her?"
"I don't know. I don't even know if who I saw was really her...but she said she was"
"...Maybe you should talk to father. Once you feel better of course. He would be able to tell you if who you saw was my mother. I've never even seen a picture of her so I couldn't tell you."
"...If it was her that I saw...you aren't missing anything. She was a true piece of shit. You are better off without her." Maka coughs, Kid helping her sit up more. "...Sorry I know this is a pain. My body is so sore."
"It's from all that training. The sickness, the training, being attacked by the demon and seeing something unsightly like my mother...of course you're having a hard time. Don't be ashamed to rely on me. I'm glad I can help you like this. Here, do you need help with your clothes?"
"No I think I got the shirt." Maka pulls off her shirt.
"Oh? Where did you get that necklace Maka?" Kid asks looking at the crescent moon. He averts his gaze when he realizes where he's staring.
"It's something I've had for a while..." Maka lies. She couldn't tell him it's because of the demon she has it. "It's a charm my mother gave me. It makes me feel safe."
"Good." Kid keeps his eyes away as Maka struggles with her pants. She's able to undress herself but trying to stand is a different story. She grinds her teeth, wishing her muscles would listen to her. Why is she so weak? Did the fever really do this to her? The training? Or is it the demon?
Kid picks her up again, cradling her naked body. He checks the water before placing her in the tub. Maka can't help to let out a sigh feeling that nice hot warm water engulf her body. Kid still isn't looking at her. He starts setting up things so she can reach them better. He's about to move away so she can pull the curtain but she's not having that.
Maka grabs his arm, keeping him there. "Hey... I really am dizzy right now. Don't you think you could get in with me? You like taking care of me right?"
"I-I do but-" Kid locks eyes with her. He freezes when those green eyes aren't as strong. She's usually demanding, with a smirk on her face when she teases him but now...she's sure he can see how weak she is right now. She'd like taking a bath with him for dirty reasons it's true but right now she just wants him as close as possible. As long as Kid is close, The demon is nothing to her. She can make it. She can get better.
She's relying on him...much more than she wanted. But Kid keeps giving. He keeps giving and Maka will keep taking.
"...I'll get in Maka. I'll help you wash up." He says, trying to look serious but she can already tell he's flustered. He pulls the curtain. She's able to see he's getting undressed. Maka can't help to snort. He doesn't want her to see him get undressed? Even though she's already seen his naked body basically? And he's about to get in naked? Kid is funny.
Next thing she knows is the curtain is pulled quickly and Kid gets in just as quickly. This tub is big so there's plenty of room. The heat is already turning his chest and cheeks red...though it might be more than the heat.
"Alright Kid! Getting a little frisky." Maka chuckles. His face gets redder but he seems to perk up at her laugh.
"I'm just here to wash you. N-Nothing more."
"Hm." Maka turns her back towards him. "Well then. Get to work on my hair first."
"Someone is feeling better." Kid grabs the cup sitting by the ledge. "Lean your head back a little I'm going to wet your hair." She leans back, feeling slightly dizzy just from that but doesn't say anything. Kid uses his hand to shield her eyes as he pours cupfuls of water over her hair. It feels nice. She can't remember the last time someone did this to her.
Probably when she was a child and her mother use to help bath her.
Kid shampoo covered hands are next, massaging her scalp. He spends more time then he needs to make sure he scrubs every area. Making sure he scrubbed each half of her head the same amount. It just feels insanely good. She feels like she could go to sleep but she doesn't want to. She doesn't want to dream anymore. He rinses her off and does the same with the conditioner.
"Hair is fully washed, let me get your back while I'm at it." Kid hums. It seems like he's in cleaning mode. Soon those strong hands are kneading into her back with soap. It just makes her want a full massage from him. In the back of her mind she wonders how much she could milk this being sick thing. Maybe she could finally get some action from him...though in her state right now she couldn't do much. "Are you able to get the front?"
"Yeah." Maka washes her chest, arms and stomach. She'll have to wait to get her more private areas. She'll have to sit up. She doesn't really feel like moving right now. She leans back into Kid's chest. He freezes for a moment but soon he's wrapping his arms around her. She can feel his bare chest against her back. His arms are wrapped around her stomach. He's always so careful with where he touches her.
"Once we get out I have the soup for you. I may need to heat it up...but don't worry I'll get a servant to do that. I won't leave you for the rest of the day." He tightens his grip on her.
"Yeah you better not." Maka mumbles. Ugh. She's starting to get sleepy again.
"Here lets get out and get you back into bed." Kid lets go of her and gets out of the shower. He wraps a towel around his waist quickly. It seems he's not going to be bathing fully. Maka takes this time to sit up slightly and wash completely. Once she's done Kid once again helps her to stand, he wraps a towel around her and sets her outside of the bath.
"Do you feel better to stand?"
"I think so." Maka blinks when Kid takes another towel and starts drying her hair off. He keeps his eyes up as she dries her body with him.
"Here let me get you something to wear." Kid steps out for a moment. Maka takes this time to brush her teeth. She needs to get that nasty taste out of her mouth. Kid comes back with some pajamas. It seems like he's serious about getting her to sleep again.
To be honest, even though she slept, it feels like she didn't get any sleep at all because of all those dreams. She gets dressed by herself and is able to walk herself back to the bed. At least she didn't puke on the sheets.
"Hold on. I think it's been enough time for-" A servant walks in with another bed sheet set. Kid takes off the old sheets and hands them to the servant. He asks her to also heat up the soup. Then he gets to work on setting the bed. When he's done, she lays down. It's soft. Smells clean. Fresh new sheets. Maka is really spoiled.
It's unreal how Kid acts really. He's gotten worse with looking after her ever since they started dating too.
He puts the new blanket over her. He smiles when she lets out a content sigh. He touches her cheek and her forehead. "No fever." He hums. He hands her the glass of water he had brought and she forces herself to drink it down.
"Yeah I'm fine. I"ll probably be better by tomorrow. Then I can get back to training-"
"Like I said there's no rush-"
"There kind of is a rush. I need to be able to kill that witch Kid-"
"I understand that but if you don't let your body heal then you'll just be hurting your progress in the long run."
"..." She knows he's right but she's impatient. She wants to get right back at it.
When the soup comes back, Kid gets it set up for her. He sits on her bed, taking a spoonful and holding it out to her after he blew on it.
"Are you really going to feed me now?" Maka raises her eyebrow. "I can feed myself."
"Yes but..." He pauses. "...I'd like to...feed you if that's alright."
"Huh?" Maka blinks before she smirks. "Ohhh is this a fetish of yours Kid-"
"N-Nothing like that! I just...I like taking care of you." His face is getting red again.
"Mmhmm. I bet you'd be as happy as you could be if I couldn't do anything for myself. You'd have to feed me, bath me, dress me, and carry me everywhere." Maka watches him avert his gaze. His face gets redder. "Wait...seriously?" Then again, Kid didn't have any issues when Maka had her breakdown. He basically had to do all those things for her. He got the servants to bathe her but still. Now that they're in a relationship he can do it himself.
"I wouldn't want anything to happen to you that would cause you not to be able to care for yourself. But...I said before I enjoy you relying on me. I've also mention before that...I'm not a good person. Even if you willingly stopped doing things because you wanted me to do them, I'd do it all for you. If you rely on me so much...Then..." His eyes get strange for a moment. They darken. It was such a quick change that Maka barely caught it. "...You wouldn't be able to leave me."
Maka's eyes widen. Kid must realize what he said quickly because that look is gone and his face is pale.
"T-That-" He opens and closes his mouth.
"It doesn't bother me." Maka reassures. She wonders if...The demon can affect Kid too. He's been so close to her this whole time. Even though his eyes looked strange...it was still Kid. She knows that what he said, is something that he feels in his heart. Maka gets it too. She's not good either. She touches his cheek. "You couldn't get rid of me if you wanted to."
"Maka..." He touches her hand. The way he's looking at her...makes her chest tighten. Those emotions that he use to hide are right there in his eyes. Maybe they weren't hidden but now it's so visible to her.
"Well you said you like feeding me so get to it." Maka smirks.
"Of course." Kid smiles, it's too bright for her. He's holding out the soup again. This time she just lets him spoon feed her. It takes awhile but she's able to eat the whole bowl. He wipes her mouth with a napkin before he leans in and kisses her. Even though she brushed her teeth...she's surprised that Kid isn't hesitant about kissing her.
"You're going to get sick." Maka mumbles, feeling her body get hot.
"I have a pretty good immune system." Kid smirks. "I couldn't help it." He starts pulling away. Maybe he realizes he's still in just a towel. "Wait let me get something to wear-"
"Nah why don't you sleep with me naked?" Maka grabs onto his wrist. She's gotten strong enough to have a good grip.
"Maka-"
"Come on. I'm sick. Let me play with you a little bit. You aren't going to deny your sick girlfriend are you?"
"...Because you're sick you shouldn't be doing anything for me-"
"But you got me all hot. How am I suppose to sleep now?" Kid freezes when Maka kisses him again. He's nervous but she knows she's getting him to finally give in. She doesn't know how far she'll be able to get but she just wants to touch him. "We've been dating for two weeks! Come on...give me something."
Kid moves out of her grip. She lets out a groan of frustration as he makes his way over to the door. She blinks when Kid locks the door before coming back into the bed. He gets under the blanket as if hiding himself. He doesn't say anything but he doesn't have to. Maka has won.
"Heehee." Maka can't help it. It makes her giddy. She gets under the blanket with him. She goes right for his chest, feeling down to his stomach muscles. She can already feel them tense under her finger tips.
"Um...are you sure you don't want me to touch you-"
"Nope. You get off on serving me but right now, I want to serve you."
"A-Ah." Kid avert his eyes. Those golden orbs tremble. "I don't..." He swallows. "I don't get off on it-"
"Uh huh." Maka reaches into the towel. Just as she thought. "that's why you're so hard. I bet you got hard feeding me huh you pervert?"
"No...I swear." He groans at the feeling of her touching him. "I just...I got excited being like this with you next to me."
"Hmm." Maka pulls the towel completely off so she can have access to his whole body. She runs her fingers against his thighs. He's so firm. She wants to see so she pulls the blanket off before Kid can stop her. It's in the middle of the day so there's no hiding in the dark. She notices that there's no patch of hair. She's sure when she watched Kid jerk off he had hair. He must have shaved. "You've been wanting this just as much as me. Why do you fight me so much?"
"I don't want to take advantage-"
Maka gives him a sharp look and he stops. She starts to smirk. "Do we really need to go over that lesson again?"
Kid flushes and averts his gaze. He seems restless. She wonders if he wants to touch her. She'll save that for a different time.
Kid's dick really is nice and big. It's smooth and stands straight. Just her touching it gets Kid to bite his lip.
"You probably haven't' been able to jerk off since you've been spending all your time with me...unless you've been doing it in the shower when you're by yourself?" When Kid doesn't answer, Maka grips his cock. He sucks in air.
"I...I may have did it once-"
"That's unforgivable you know? You'd rather play with yourself then your girlfriend."
"That's not-"
"I'm going to do what I want." Maka touches his balls. He even shaved those. He was prepared. Just in case. It makes her happy honestly. Even though he denied her, he was thinking about it just as much. He even was dirty in the shower, thinking about her. She's a bit weak right now but...she's confident that she can make him cum.
She lays on his stomach, keeping her back towards him. She's heard people at school talk about this. She knows how to do it. It can't be that hard. She licks her lips, grabbing the base of his cock. She takes a breath before she puts the tip into her mouth-
"M-Maka-" Kid grabs her like he's going to pull her off. She grabs onto his thigh, and pushes him deeper into her mouth. He lets out a gasp, the hand on her hesitating. She can't go far so she starts licking, trying to slick it up the most she can. She can feel him twitch in her mouth, and his thigh muscle tense when she licks and sucks around the head.
The hand that was going to pull her off is now resting on her head. Kid letting out soft moans and sharp breathes.
"Maka..." He says softly. She just wants to hear more. Despite the fact she's starting to feel dizzy, she pushes him more down her throat. Feeling the stretch and hearing Kid moan, gets her wet. His fingers are starting to dig slightly into her scalp. His breathing becoming more erratic. She wishes she could see his face. She picked a position that was easier for her body but she can't see his face. Just when she's thinking about how it's tragic, Kid gasps.
"C-Cumming." He tries to warn. He pulling her up. Maka buries herself deeper. With another gasp he lets go in her mouth. It tastes...bad. She swallows it though, not feeling like spitting it back up. "I-I'm sorry Maka I couldn't hold it." Maka keeps a little bit of cum on her tongue. She turns and kisses Kid, wanting him to taste how bad it is. Kid doesn't freak out. He doesn't push her away. If anything he kisses her deeply. It lights something up in her again.
"...You just tasted yourself. Aren't you dirty?" Maka mumbles, licking her lips. "Wasn't it gross?"
"It didn't taste pleasant, no." He says, those golden eyes unfocused. His body is loose and soon he's touching her, holding her against his chest. He kisses her again. "...can I...touch you?" She wants to tell him no...to try to tease him more but to be honest she's never felt so hot. She swallows, still tasting that salty substance. She nods.
"I love you Maka." He runs his hands down her back. She's a bit surprised when he touches her ass. He freezers. "Is that too much?" He asks seriously.
"...Nah course not." Maka tries to calm her racing heart. He kisses her again, both hands are now feeling on her ass. Squeezing and pressing. It's a new sensation but she likes it. The kissing and the touching he's doing is just getting her hotter. Maka huffs, taking off her pants so he can touch closer to her skin. She's surprised when he touches her in the front. With the pants gone, he can feel how she soaked through.
Kid shudders, his touches makes her want more pressure. "You got so wet Maka." He whispers against her ear. Hearing him talk like that...makes her face explode with color. She likes doing the same thing to Kid. She didn't expect he would turn the tables on her.
"It's your fault." Maka grumbles, trying to think of a better come back but her mind goes blank when Kid's fingers go under her panties. She feels those fingers on her heat, she tenses.
"Is it too much?" He says again seriously, freezing. Despite how he's looking at her, Maka doesn't doubt that if she said it was he would back up immediately. This is the furthest they've gotten. Maka doesn't want it to end here.
"No." Maka shakes her head. Her heart is hammering. She bites her lip when he starts to rub her. She's never even touched herself. Feeling those strong fingers stroking her...
"Let me hear you." Kid kisses her, swallowing a moan that she let out soon after. Maka closes her eyes when she feels a finger slide inside. It's...embarrassing how wet she is. Her heart won't settle down. Feeling it isn't enough to quell this urge she has.
"Ah K-Kid." Maka trembles when he adds another finger. He's licking her neck too. Licking and kissing her as he moves his fingers, stretching her.
"Can I...unbutton your shirt?" Kid asks. His eyes are unfocused but again he's kind. Always looking at her to make sure what he's doing is something she likes.
"Knock yourself out." She tries to gain the upper hand but it's no use. Her mind is going numb with the way his fingers are working her. She actually hisses when he takes his fingers out so he can use both his hands to unbutton her shirt.
"Don't worry." He reassures. Maka can see how slick his two fingers are. He sees her staring at them and pauses. He licks his lips. "...Wanna taste?"
Maka swallows. She did make him taste himself. There's something erotic about this but she finds herself opening her mouth. Kid puts his fingers in, letting her lick and suck them. She tastes...strange. Not bad. The taste isn't' as strong as Kid's. She can already see he's hard again.
Maybe she underestimated Kid. She thought he was a square...but she's starting to think he thought of some pretty perverted things as he thought of her. Maybe he was worried that he was too dirty for her. Maka is right there with him though. She wouldn't mind more of this. A lot more of this.
He leans in to kiss her as if to get some of the taste himself. He finishes opening up her shirt. Maka shivers when she feels his hand on her stomach. He traces his finger up to her chest. He slowly cups her chest, his breathing becoming uneven. Her nipples are so hard. Just seeing how her body reacts is making her a little nervous. She's never been big in the chest department but when he pulls away to stare at her...In those eyes there's hunger.
"Beautiful." He mumbles, brushing a finger over one of her nipples. It sends a shock down her spine. He licks his lips. "Maka...can I keep going?"
"DO what you want." Maka swallows. She's starting to feel like Kid is the one playing with her. She just wants release at this point. Maka moans in relief when his fingers are back in her panties and those two fingers are back in. Not only that though. Kid leans down and starts kissing her left tit. With his other hand he's fondling the other. Maka can't hide her moans as Kid pressures his fingers deeper into her. He's moving them faster, reaching and his thumb is pressing into her bundle of nervous. "M-More." Maka trembles, hearing herself beg. A sound escapes her lips like a squeak when Kid suddenly puts her nipple into his mouth and starts sucking.
Her hips are bucking on their own. She's so close. She digs her hand into Kid's scalp, pushing him more into her chest. Close. So close.
Kid pressures hard with his fingers one more time, his breathing coming out in uneven puffs...It's enough to send her over the edge. "Ah!" Maka bucks her hips, riding out her orgasm before she goes limp. The room seems to be spinning. That was...
Kid stops sucking on her tit and pulls out his fingers. Maka watches him with half lidded eyes as he uses his mouth to clean off his fingers. He's clearly still hard. Soon enough he's on her, kissing her softly before kissing on her neck. Everything is sensitive.
She feels like...she's about to be devoured by Kid.
His kissing feels good. He's holding her close, grabbing her ass again. She might have woken a demon.
"Ah Kid...I'm...I don't think I can take much more."The room is spinning again. He stops sucking on her neck and groping her. Those eyes are hazy but they're starting to come back. He hesitates for just a moment before he starts to fix her up. He buttons up her shirt for her. "I need new...underwear."
Kid puts the towel over his erection before he gets her a new pair. She lets him change her, feeling too tired to do anything. He puts her pants on. He tucks her into the bed and gives her a kiss on the forehead. He doesn't say anything but she can tell he's still hot. "I-I'll be right back." he walks into the bathroom. Maka hears the water running.
If she wasn't so exhausted...just the idea of Kid being so hot that he could cum twice is so sexy. He turned on the shower so she can't hear him but she can imagine he's jerking himself desperately. Maybe this was what Kid was worried about. That he couldn't stop himself. That he would want more and more.
If Maka wasn't sick she would have played more. Hell. She wouldn't have cared at that point if he had put it in. She's sure that Kid doesn't want that yet though. Just the fact that they got so far...makes her happy.
She wants to play like this again when she isn't sick. She wants to do it soon.
Being tired from just releasing and feeling dizzy...Maka can't help but to fall asleep before Kid comes back.
Maka wakes up feeling someone stroking her hair. She feels sore still but much better. She opens her eyes already knowing who shes' wrapped up in.
"How are you feeling?" Kid asks. He's back to his normal expressions. He's fully dressed. He must have taken a shower and got himself together while Maka was asleep. There's even a book next to him that he's been reading. He really stayed by her side all day. It seems like it's dark outside now.
"A lot better." Maka admits. He rubs his thumb against her lip before kissing her softly.
"...I'm sorry If I did too much. I should have been more careful with you being sick-" He looks guilty.
"oh don't give me that." Maka shakes her head. "That was great. It felt so good I didn't want to stop either. I want more of that." Maka watches his eyes widen. "...I like that dirty part of you too Kid."
"...Even if I want too much?" Kid looks at her. "I...I took it too fast, even for what we were doing-"
"No you didn't. You asked me each time before you did something. I wanted it." Maka grabs his cheeks so he can't look away from her. "...It surprised me how bold you were but I welcome it. It makes me know you really want me."
"Of course I do. I want all of you." Kid puts her hand against his chest. It's beating a mile a minute. "...that's why I want to treat you right. I don't want to just let these desires go wild. I haven't even taken you out properly-"
"So take me out already! Give me a sweet little date so you can fuck my brains out already-"
"M-Maka!" His face explodes with color. Maka can't help to laugh. Despite his actions earlier he can still get flustered. "That's...I want our first time to be special."
"Won't it be special just because it's us?" Kid looks at her like he wasn't expecting that. "I don't need anything francy you know. I can tell you care by how you're always around. But if you want to make it a big deal that's fine too. Just don't leave me waiting too long."
"Maka...thank you." Kid smiles, that shy smile. Those eyes shinning with that emotion that's too bright for her. Kid leans in to kiss her-
"Oh ho am I interrupting?" The mayor walks into the room, stopping. He is gushing.
"F-Father!" Kid sits up in the bed, his face red.
"Nah we were just making out." Maka grunts, chuckling when Kid looks at her with wide eyes.
"That's great!" The mayor hums.
"Father please." Kid groans, rubbing his head.
"In all seriousness, how are you feeling Maka? Kid told me about this morning...The servant that Kid asked to watch you has gone missing. I don't know if she decided to quit or..." the mayor pauses. "...Either way id probably fire her for that mess up. Kid told me the demon attacked."
"It did." Maka sits up herself. She's feeling much better.
"It was able to physically touch you?"
"It was able to touch the blanket and rip if off. It didn't touch me...though it was hard to breathe. I couldn't see it or hear it."
"The curse is still progressing..." The mayor is thinking. "I've done some more studying. I'll put some more charms inside of your room." The mayor takes a deep breath. "...Kid also said you saw...someone."
"...Yes. I wanted to ask you if it was really Kid's mom that I saw..." Maka watches the mayors face. He's not smiling. She wonders if she should say anymore but he give her a nod of encouragement. "...She was a tall woman, with cold blue eyes. Really dark hair-" The mayor tenses. "Is...is that what she looked like."
"Yes." The Mayor's eyebrows furrow. "How are you seeing his mom? What did...she say to you?"
"It might be the demon tricking me but...she showed me the past. When Kid was born and what happen." She can't look at the mayor. "It was like I was there but I couldn't do anything. She started freaking out when you told her it was a boy. She set a servant on fire." The mayors eyes widen. "She sent glass towards you. You ran to he fireplace room...and she sent more glass into your back. She was going to kill Kid. She was going to shove her fingers through his infant eyes. Then you-"
"I cut off her head." The mayor cuts in. his face is grave. "That's...exactly right. What you saw was true. How could a demon know our past? Is the demon also looking into us? Or..." the mayor is mumbling to himself, looking more worried. "...Did she say anything to you?"
"She told me that she was disgusted with me. She said terrible things about Kid but...It seems like this ghost hates me for some reason."
"...Could Mother have been the witch?" Kid asks suddenly, looking pale.
"No. She's dead. She's completely dead. I killed her. She won't be able to bother us again." The mayor says quickly. "She didn't even know Maka existed." The mayor looks towards the window. "...She did have a sister."
"Mother did?"
"..." The mayor is thinking. "I've never been able to find her. I...This is strange. The demon should only know what the witch that cursed you knows..."
"Then we have a target. Lets keep trying to track down witches but it seems like this aunt of yours is a prime suspect. Even if she didn't do it, I'm sure having her dead will take a weight off your back."
"You can see that?" The mayor smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes. "...That's our goal. We will keep training, and waiting for a witch to slip up. We will find the witch that cursed you. And Maka...if you see her again...Let me know."
"Of course. I won't hide it from you."
"Thank you." the mayor smiles again. That mask is back up. "Now get some rest. I'm itching to get you back on the training grounds Maka~"
"So am i-"
"Not in till you're better." Kid says strictly.
Maka groans but...she expected as much. Not that she really minds much. She's still in a good mood. It seems like Kid will cling to her even more now.
Kid keeps giving so Maka will keep taking.
I'm glad you like it! I don't have any other social media though. I post all my fanfiction here and i've been writing some original horror stuff for one of those reading youtube channels. But i don't think he's done it yet. I've had this idea for awhile and surprisingly it's easy to write. Thanks for the reviews!
