“Hey Kid’s been gone for an awfully long time.”
Maka blinked and looked up at Soul from her book.
“Yeah? I’m sure he’ll be back soon.”
Soul ran a hand through his white hair, staring down at the ground.
“So has Liz and Patty. It’s been three weeks. I think something is wrong.”
Maka giggled, and just looked back at her book, closing it.
“Soul, i’m sure they are just on a special mission Lord Death assigned them. So don’t be a worry-wart. It’s not like you.”
“Yeah.but i have a feeling in my gut that tells me something isn’t quite right. And i want to know the facts. I’m surprised that you aren’t the least bit worried. They’re your friends too.”
Maka sighed and looked back at him.
“It’s just a mission. I’ll even go to Lord Death and ask. Then i’ll come home and we’ll have to throw a ‘Maka told you so’ party. What do you think?”
Soul grinned, showing shark teeth, and grabbed a nearby controller, turning on the game console.
“Sounds cool. Go do it.”
Maka smiled and stood up, slamming her book down on the coffee table.
“I will! just you wait until i get back!”
She turned from him, throwing on her trench coat, and walked out the door, heading towards DWMA.
As she passed the candy shop, she saw Tsubaki trying to calm down Black*Star’s sugar rush.
She looked up at Maka and smiled a little, looking a tad relieved.
“Maka! thank goodness you got here when you did.”
Maka tapped her foot, staring at her best friend in disappointment.
“Tsubaki...remember what i told you the last time you bought Black*Star candy? ‘Don’t ever do it again!’”
“Sorry. Hey do you know where----”
Black*Star laughed obnoxiously and ran away from them, hyper.
Tsubaki gasped, her eyes wide in fear and she started to run after him.
“Black*Star!”
Maka put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.
“He’ll come back. He always does.”
Tsubaki sighed, her shoulders sagging.
“You’re right...as I was saying, do you know where Kid and the Thompsons have been? I’ve been worried sick.”
Maka smiled a little.
“I’m about to find out. I’m on my way to Lord Death right now to ask questions.”
“Can I come with?”
“Depends, will Black*Star be fine on his own for a little while?”
Tsubaki grinned widely.
“Oh,he’ll be fine!...I hope....”
“Good!” Maka took her arm and ran up the steps of DWMA, dragging a slightly screaming Chain-sickle behind her.
“Maka!!! Let me catch up!!!”
Maka slowed to a walk, now on top of the stairs.
“Sorry.” She laughed slightly.
“It’s fine.”
They walked inside the empty academy, looking around to see nobody.
Maka raised an eyebrow.
“Hmm...this is odd.”
They turned the corner and bumped right into Stein.
The girls jumped back and screamed loudly until Stein slapped a hand over each of their mouths.
“Shh! Why are you here?”
He slowly lifted his hands off to let them talk.
“We’ve come to see Lord Death.” Maka announced proudly.
Stein raised an eyebrow this time.
“Oh? And why is that?” He began to turn the screw in the side of his head in thought.
Tsubaki crossed her arms behind her back and shifted her weight from side to side.
“We are curious as to Kid’s absence.”
Stein’s eyes widened.
“Oh. Right this way.” He walked ahead of them, leading them to the death room.
“Professor Stein? why is there nobody here?”Maka asked.
Stein shrugged.
“I honestly don’t know. Busy weekend, i suppose.”
They reached the death room, and Stein opened the door for them.
The girls nodded their thanks, and stepped in, Stein shutting the door behind them.
Lord Death looked over his shoulder at them, his mirror shattered across the surface.
Tsubaki gasped.
“Lord Death? what happened to your mirror?”
He sighed, and waddled his way over to them. “Children, that’s why you shouldn’t break your own mirror while you are chatting with someone. You end up shattering the other’s as well.”
“Who was responsible?”
“Kid.”
Maka’s eyes widened.
“Kid? is he okay?”
“I’m afraid not. You see, Liz and Patty abandoned him for new meisters.”
The girl’s eyes widened in shock.
“WHAT?!”
Lord Death remained silent and just simply nodded.
Maka furrowed her eyebrows and clenched her fists.
“Why would they do that after all he has given them?! i thought they were our friends!”
Tsubaki rested her hands on Maka’s shoulder shyly.
“M-Maka...calm down....”
Maka continued to yell.
“Where is he? we can---”
Lord Death’s voice turned dark.
“No, you can’t. He wants to be alone, so leave him.”
She sighed and lowered her head.
“Yes Lord Death.” She turned and walked out of the room with Tsubaki.
Once they reached the candy shop, Tsubaki said goodbye and waited for Black*Star to tell him what happened.
Maka waved and walked on to the apartment.
Soul was waiting outside with a smug smile, his arms crossed over his chest.
“So? Were you right or not?”
Maka passed him and went inside.
“I don’t want to talk about it,Soul. Maybe later.”
Soul’s smile dropped.
“Must be pretty bad.” He walked in after her and went back to gaming.
Maka plopped down on her bed with a tired sigh.
“I feel so betrayed...”She closed her eyes.
Death the Kid was also laying on his own bed with his eyes closed.
“I don’t want to be a meister anymore...what’s the point if i’m not perfect?”
