Broken Reaper: Chapter 8.

Maka’s POV:
“Alright so how am I going to get to this place exactly?” I asked Kid as he and I sat on my bed, while we thought out a plan of how I could help to save Kid and, hopefully bring him back home to everyone.
“You could ask my Father, but then he might start to wonder why you to know, and then he’ll probably start asking you questions,” Kid paused as he looked slightly away from me, and seemed kinda lost in thought.
“I don’t think I could deal with that right now, to be honest,” I sighed as I looked to my bedroom window.
“I could always just guide you there,” Kid suggested as he turned back to look at me.
“Do you still remember the way?” I asked as I looked back to Kid.
“Pretty much, besides once my soul comes close to my body it’ll be drawn to it,” Kid explained.
“Alright then we can set out tomorrow,” I stated proudly with a slight nod to Kid.
“Sounds great,” Kid replied as he smiled to me, with that wonderful, charming smile that I loved to see so dearly (which I had also missed greatly).
My attention was drawn away from Kid and our plan when I heard a slight knock on my bedroom door, and Kid and I both looked to it for a minute.
“Yes?” I called out to whomever was at the door (although I could easily just guess who it was).
“It’s me,” I heard my weapon’s voice call back to me.
“Come in,” I replied to Soul before I leaned back on my bed, and whispered to Kid for him to give me a minute alone with Soul. Kid just nodded as he closed his eyes and made it so that I could no longer see him (but I would still be able to hear him if he started talking).
Soul opened the door slowly and looked to me, “Hey,” I smiled to my weapon.
“You were talking to yourself again,” Soul stated as he walked into my room.
“Really? I guess it’s becoming quite the habit now for me,” I replied with a nervous smile to Soul.
“Maka, are you sure you’re okay?” Soul asked me, obviously he was concerned about me.
“Yeah, Soul I'm fine,” I lied as I slightly turned away from my weapon.
I could see that Soul didn’t believe me, but it didn’t look like he was going to bother to pester me any further. He nodded with a slight smile to me, before he turned to leave.
“Wait,” I whispered as I stopped him from walking out as he turned to me, surprised that I had stopped him from leaving my bedroom, “Soul, can I ask you something?” I asked as I looked to my feet and could feel my heart beginning to race in my chest.
“Sure, what is it?” Soul asked as he turned back to me with a worried look.
“What would you say if I told you that Kid was still here?” I asked after I took a deep breath, and at stared my weapon dead in those ruby red eyes of his.
Soul didn’t answer at first, he just stood there with wide eyes and a shocked look on his face. He obviously wasn't expecting me to ask him a question like that.
“MAKA! What are you doing?” I heard Kid ask me as he too was obviously shocked by my sudden question to my weapon.
I ignored Kid’s voice and just waited for Soul to answer my question.
“Well I…I would tell you that you were crazy, he’s gone Maka,” Soul answered after he was able to regain his composure.
‘Thought so,’ I sighed slightly as I smiled at the fact that Soul said exactly what I was expecting him to say, “Soul, what would happen if it was possible that Kid could come back to us?” I asked.
Soul went silent again as I could tell that he really wasn't expecting me to ask him these sort of questions.
“Maka, he won’t believe you, you and I both know that,” I heard Kid trying to reason with me to stop this, but I just ignored him again.
“Maka what are you talking about, you’re starting to sound like some crazy person,” Soul answered as he seemed to slowly becoming uneasy now.
I just smiled again slightly, ‘Of course I sound like a crazy person, I’m talking about something that could only thought to happen in books, films or games,’ I thought as I now slightly turned away from my weapon.
“See Maka, I told you,” I heard Kid say to me, obviously he was still trying to talk me out of this. But I wasn't giving up, not yet at least.
“Listen Maka, I don’t know what’s gotten into you all of a sudden, but you need to realize that Kid’s gone, and he’s not going to be coming back,” Soul explained with a slight sigh.
“That’s what you think?” I thought out loud with a slight chuckle.
“Maka, Kid’s dead okay, he can’t come back now, there’s just no way,” Soul stated with a now serious tone as he looked to me with determined eyes.
My eyes widened and my smiled faded. Those words did it for me, as I heard them being repeated over and over again in my head, “Kid’s dead, Kid’s dead, Kid’s dead,” That’s all I could hear.
I stood up from my bed and glared at my weapon dead in the eyes, as my fists tightened and my teeth were clenched together, “Get out,” I said in almost a whisper.
“What?” Soul asked, obviously not hearing what I said too well.
“I SAID GET OUT!!” I repeated in a scream before tears started to run down my cheeks.
Soul quickly got the message that he had made me mad, and swiftly left out the door before he angered me any further.
I sat back down onto my bed as I leaned forward and started to cry into my hands, while those words still swirled around in my mind.
My eyes widened a little as I felt a hand rubbing my back comforting me. I turned and saw Kid sitting beside me again, with a kind and gentle smile on his face.
“Did you feel like punching him as well?” I asked as my shoulders began to shake and I could feel more tears filling my eyes and running down my cheeks.
“Yeah, that’s why I warned you not to start something, I knew it would end badly for you,” Kid answered as he just chuckled to me slightly and wrapped his arms around me.
“Sorry, I should’ve listened to you Kid,” I whispered as I cried into Kid’s chest.
“It’s okay, I know you were only doing it to see what his answer would be,” Kid stated as he hugged me tightly and pecked the top of my head.
‘I had done it again, I had heard Kid calling out to me, but I ignored him, just like I did before. I didn’t listen to him, and I should’ve. Now I've just made things worse for me and Soul, why didn’t I listen to him? I knew all too well what Soul’s answer would be, but I didn’t back down when I should’ve. I'm so stupid,’ I thought with a slight sigh.
“I'm such an idiot,” I whispered before I buried my head into Kid’s chest.
“No you’re not,” I heard Kid deny as he cupped my cheek and lifted my head so that I was looking at him again, “You’re my perfect girl,” Kid stated as he smiled to me.
My eyes widened as I heard him call me perfect, and ‘his’. I blushed slightly as he leaned into to me more. Kid pressed his lips to mine and made me go wide-eyed, I soon closed my eyes and melted into the kiss as I gripped onto Kid’s jacket tightly.
Our lips parted as Kid smiled to me again and started to gently stroke my hair. I smiled back to him slightly, before he pulled me into another hug.
‘If only Soul could see you as well Kid, then he’d understand,’ I thought before I rested my head against Kid’s chest and smiled again as I was expecting to hear a heartbeat, but then just sighed when I realized that Kid sadly didn’t seem to have one while he was in this form.

Writer’s POV:
Later in the day Liz had arranged for the whole gang to meet and hang out in the basketball courts (where they all used to hang out from time to time). Just to see if they could all cheer each other up a little, and get everyone out of their houses for a little bit.
Soul didn’t know how Maka would feel about leaving their house since she was still uneasy on leaving her bedroom, but he thought that it was worth a shot.
“Maka, I'm going to see Black Star and the sisters, you wanna come along?” Soul asked as he knocked on his Meister’s bedroom door, before opening it.
There was a short moment of silence between the two as Maka sat on her bed, turned away from her weapon, while Soul waited for Maka to answer him.
“Go away,” Maka mumbled as she slightly glanced to her weapon, While Kid was still sitting beside her looking to Soul.
“Come on Maka, I can’t just leave you here on your own. Who knows what you might do to yourself while I'm gone,” Soul tried to reason with his Meister as he walked up to her and sighed slightly.
“Just go by yourself, Soul,” Maka whispered with a slight glare to her weapon.
“Listen Maka I'm sorry for what I said before, I know you’re having a really hard time with Kid being gone and all, but come on. Maybe hanging out with the others will cheer you up a bit,” Soul tried to persuade his stubborn Meister.
“I don’t want to go,” Maka answered as she clenched her teeth together.
“Well I'm going in a minute, so let me know if you change your mind, alright?” Soul sighed as he gave up and shrugged his shoulders, before he headed back over to the bedroom door.
“Go on Maka, I know you don’t want to be near Soul right now, but it would be nice to spend some time with all the others again, don’t you agree?” Kid said as he tried to get Maka to go as well.
Maka seemed surprised as she turned to Kid and mouthed the word, ‘Really?’ to him.  
Kid replied with a simple nod and a smile to Maka. Maka smiled back slightly, before she called to her weapon, “Fine, I’ll come along,” Maka sighed as Soul stopped in his tracks as he turned back to his Meister.
“You mean it,” Soul asked with hopeful eyes.
Maka just nodded as she glanced to her weapon and then looked back to Kid.
“We’ll leave whenever you’re ready then,” Soul stated with a smile to Maka, before he turned and left his Meister’s bedroom.
“If this goes wrong, I'm blaming you,” Maka stated as she glared to Kid slightly.
Kid just chuckled as he pulled Maka into another hug and kissed her on top of her head again.
“I love you Kid,” Maka whispered as she held onto Kid’s jacket tightly.
“I love you too, Maka,” Kid whispered back as he stroked Maka’s hair.

Writer’s POV:
A little while later Soul and Maka met up with the rest of the gang in the park by the basketball courts. “MAKA-CHAN!!” Patty called out to Maka as she ran over to her and hugged her tightly.
“Err… Hey Patty,” Maka smiled nervously as she looked to Patty, and then seemed a little taken back at what she saw, ‘Is she shaking? She also seems thinner from when I last saw her. Seems like I wasn't the only one that was taking things hard,’ Maka thought with a smile as she hugged Patty back.
“It’s nice to see you again Maka,” Tsubaki stated as she walked over and greeted Maka and Soul, with her Meister following close behind her.
“Yeah sorry about last time, it must have been stressful for you to see me like that,” Maka apologized to the weapon as she remembered how she had acted the last time she saw both Tsubaki and Black Star.
“It’s alright, you seem to be doing a lot better now, and that’s all that matters,” Tsubaki replied with a smile to the other girl.
“Hey you finally got her out the house?” Black Star stated as he came over and patted Soul on his shoulder.
“Yeah, to be honest I'm still quite surprised that she agreed to come along,” Soul replied to his friend, before he looked to his Meister and smiled slightly to her.
“Come sit with sis and me, Maka-chan,” Patty stated as she stared tugging at the Scythe Meister’s arm.
“Okay, sure,” Maka answered as she let Patty pull her over to the bench that Liz was sitting on.
“Hey, it’s good to see that you’re out of the house,” Liz said with a smile as she greeted Maka, while Maka sat down beside the older twin on the park bench, and Patty let go of her, before the younger twin went running off back over to Soul, Tsubaki, and Black Star.
“Yeah I guess,” Maka replied as she smiled to Liz slightly.
A short silence feel between the two girls as they both sat on the park bench, watching Patty and Black Star playing tag with each other, while Soul and Tsubaki just smiled at the two playing together like they were little kids.
“Liz?” Maka spoke as she slightly turned away from the other girl
“Yeah?” Liz asked as she turned back to Maka with a smile.
“Can I ask you something?” Maka asked as she glanced to the weapon.
“Sure, what is it?” Liz asked as could see that Maka seemed a little uneasy.
“Do you ever wish that Kid was still here?” Maka asked in a low tone, after she took a deep breath.
“Maka, I'm sure that we've all been wishing that since the day we all heard the news,” Liz answered.
“It’s good to know that it hasn't just been me then, I guess,” Maka thought out loud as she smiled to Liz, before she looked to the basketball courts and saw Kid standing under one of the basketball hoops, while the ghostly Reaper looked back to Maka with a slight smile.
“Maka-chan what are you looking at?” Patty asked as she came back over to Maka and Liz, and noticed that Maka was staring at the basketball courts for some reason.
“Huh? Oh nothing,” Maka lied as she turned back to Patty and smiled to her nervously, ‘I guess it’s true. None of them can see Kid standing there,’ Maka thought with a slight sigh.
“Hey if you two could see Kid again, what would you do?” Maka asked as she nervously looked at her shoes.
“Hmm…Well that’s easy, I’d tell him come home,” Liz answered with a smile to Maka.
Maka’s eyes widened slightly as she seemed surprised at Liz’s answer.
“I’d do the same. If I could see Kiddo again, I’d bring him back home, so that he could be here with all of us again,” Patty added as she smiled to Maka as well.
Maka just smiled back as she nodded slightly to the younger twin.
“Maka,” Maka heard Kid call to her as she looked to him. Maka’s eyes widened as she could see that Kid’s ghostly form was beginning to fade slowly. Kid smiled to Maka slightly, before she nodded to him slightly and stood up from the bench.
“Maka? What’s wrong?” Liz asked as she was surprised to see Maka suddenly stand like that.
“Sorry, but I need to go back home now,” Maka stated in a low tone as she began walking away from the two sisters, “Soul, I’ll see at home okay,” Maka called to her weapon, before she turned and saw Kid make it so that she could no longer see him.
“Wait Maka don’t go yet,” Soul said as he tried to make Maka stay longer.
Maka just sighed a little before she took off running, heading for her and Soul’s apartment.
“MAKA WAIT!!” Soul called after his Meister, but she just ignored him and kept running.
“Poor Maka-chan,” Patty thought out loud, before she jumped over the side of the bench, and began running around the park.
“I better go after her,” Soul stated as he looked to his running Meister with a worried look.
“Good luck,” Black Star said as he rested a hand on Soul’s shoulder and smiled to him.
“Thanks man, I’ll need it,” Soul smiled back as he nodded to his friend, before he took off to go and hopefully catch up with Maka.
“They sure have got it rough those two,” Black Star stated with a slight sigh, while Tsubaki just nodded in agreement.
“Patty don’t go too far,” Liz called to her younger sister as she stood up from the park bench and watched her younger twin running around the park, like she was a little kid hyped up on sugar or something, before she glanced to the direction that Maka had ran off in, and sighed slightly as she went back to keeping a close eye on her younger sister.

Writer’s POV:
Soul had only just caught up with his Meister once she had made it back to their apartment, and was patiently waiting for her weapon to come and unlock the door for her.
“She must have forgotten that I'm the only one that brought a key to the house, when we left,” Soul thought with a slight smile as he walked up to his and Maka’s apartment and unlocked the front door for her.
Maka ran to her bedroom as soon as Soul unlocked and opened the door, while Soul sighed as he heard the door to his Meister’s bedroom slam shut. Soul closed the front door behind him, before he walked to Maka’s bedroom and knocked on the door lightly, “Maka-
“GO AWAY!!” Maka cut her weapon off as she sat on her bed and could feel tears filling her eyes and starting to run down her cheeks.
Soul sighed again as he just decided to leave his Meister alone for a bit, as he walked into the lounge and sat on the sofa, before he looked to where his Meister’s room was and smiled slightly.

Maka’s POV:
I sighed as I sat on my bed and sobbed a little. My eyes widened as I felt a hand rubbing my back again. I turned to see Kid sitting next to me with a smile on his face.
“Kid your soul is starting to fade away, you can’t stay in that form for much longer can you?” I asked as I looked to Kid with a worried look on my face.
Kid just shook his head slightly to me in reply, “They all really miss you Kid,” I whispered to Kid as I thought about all the others.
“I know, I miss them all too,” I heard Kid whisper back to me as he wrapped his arms around me, and hugged me tightly.
I buried my head into Kid’s chest as I cried, while Kid rubbed my back and hugged my tighter, trying to comfort me.
‘I know it’s a long shot and all, but please let this plan work tomorrow, I need to bring him back him to everyone where he belongs, they all need him here with us again,’ I pleaded to myself before I closed my eyes and started to drift off to sleep in Kid’s arms, while he started to stroke my hair again, and held me close to him.
