Beauty and the Shinigami

Ch.5

As soon as Kid asked me if I would be his girlfriend I took a moment to catch my breath. "Did the guy I love just ask me to be his girlfriend?" I asked myself in my head as I stared into those beautiful golden eyes. I took a moment to catch my breath- is this really happening? Am I really getting asked out by my childhood friend and life-long crush? Yes! This is the moment I have been waiting for ever sense we met! I am so happy! "Yes!!" I said at the top of my lungs, beginning to cry I cling to him as if I let him go he would just disappear. He then wraps his long arms around my fragile frame. I can't believe this; I get to be the girlfriend of the sweetest guy in school! He is so nice. He always stops bullies from picking on the other kids. I try to burry my head into his shoulder because right now he is all mine. This moment is so peaceful. It feels like heaven, I calmly breathe in and out, taking in every beautiful moment. I know it may sound weird to you, but his smell soothed me. I calm down and pull away just enough that I can see his handsome face. I didn't even notice Soul and Liz smirking at the sight of Kid and I until I saw movement next to Kid. I looked up hesitantly then smiled; Soul was holding Liz in his arms but they were not looking at Kid and I. They were kissing. I then looked at my wonderful Kid who was looking at me. His eyes seemed to be filled with softness and love... He looked like he was thinking about something also, I don't know what though. I then saw a smile form on his lips. This is the first time I have seen him smile. He usually keeps a straight face. His teeth were as white as day and his lips were perfectly pink. I knew at that moment that I would never forget that smile. I wrapped my small bony arms around his neck and leaned forward, he looked at my lips for a split second. I could barely notice it but it was still there. He then pulled away from my lips. He smiled that wonderful smile again which made me feel so warm inside. "Can we wait to kiss until after our date?" He said, trying not to make me sad. I nod, "Tonight at my place? 8:00?" I asked him, trying to seem bolder. He nods then we stand up together and walk inside the school with Liz and Soul following close behind.

~Time Skip to after school~

Maka's POV

It was so cold, I don't know why but everything seemed so cold without anyone around. I was walking home by myself, only thinking about this morning and the date later tonight. My head was spinning with questions. Why would a shinigami want a girl like me? Shinigami are considered the passageway to heaven and hell in Death City. You see, shinigami can only die if the one they love dies. Lord Death says that shinigami become obsessed with their lovers if they stay away from them for too long. Lord Death said that if a shinigami is kept from his lover for too long then he will destroy anything or anyone in his way. So, sense Kid is not a full shinigami yet, I don't have to worry about that for now. Lord Death says that his time is coming to an end soon, so Kid will be a full shinigami soon too... This means that I can't leave his side. That kind of scares me. I can just imagine him ripping through people just to get to me. That is why he will need me now more than ever. He needs to know that I am going nowhere. That is why tonight is going to be special- I am going to give my first kiss to the Kid I love. By the time I was done thinking to myself I had already somehow found my way home. I took my silver key out of my plad book bag and I opened the blue door to my apartment. I lived with Soul on the second floor of the Death City Apartments right next to Death Bucks, my favorite place to grab a mocha frap chino before school. I opened up the door and peaked inside; the cool air hit my face along with the smell of soap. I looked around and saw that my stuff was missing; pictures and everything. "What's going on?" I said out loud in a whisper as I walked in, closing the door quietly behind me. I walked across the green carpet into the long narrow hallway. I looked at the pictures on the walls, on one side there was a picture of Soul in first grade. He was playing the piano for the first time, grinning at me with his big toothy grin. I then looked over at the other side where I usually had my pictures with me and my friends. My eyes lit up with horror. I ran into my room with tears streaming from my eyes. I see nothing but a gray carpet, white walls and one lone box. Everything of mine was gone. I saw a little yellow note taped to the box. I quickly grabbed the note and yanked it off of the box. It read: 

"Maka, sorry about the sudden move but Liz and I wanna live together. We have been planning this for a while now, so please take this last box and go to Kid's place. The rest of your stuff is there. I'm on a date with Liz right now so don't bother me. Thanks. -Soul E."

As I read the note I stop and think back to when he and Liz were talking about how they should go about something. At the moment I had no idea what they were talking about, but I get it now. They were trying to get Kid and I together so Liz could move in. My face then grew as red as a tomato. "What the hell Soul?!" I screamed, making it echo throughout the house. I walked over to the box, picked it up then ran out of the house, very mad. I slammed the door behind me then ran as fast as I could to Kids mansion. My shoes made a clicking noise with every step I took. All of the people around me looked at me like I was a crazy person. Why would Soul do this? Does Kid know?

I ran up to Kids house, breathing hard. I tried to catch my breath for a moment. As soon as I did I knocked eight times on Kids door; that's our secret knock. I heard screaming then stumbling behind the door. The door swung open and it was Kid. His hair was all messed up and he looked tired. 

"I'm sorry to wake you up Kid." Tears started streaming down my face. 

"K-kid I'm sorry but Soul kicked me out..." It was sunset and very cold outside; especially when I'm wearing a skirt. I shivered as the wind blew and Kid nodded, keeping his normal stock expression

"I know, he told me after you and Soul broke up. He took your stuff to the room right next to mine." He rubbed his eyes sleepily like a cute little kid when they're tired. I stood in astonishment "You knew?!" He nods, his eyes showing that he is trying to be apologetic. "I thought you knew. I'm really sorry Maka. How about you come in and rest? We can go on a date tomorrow morning for breakfast?"

I smiled a little; he knows my one weakness. Kid is my one weakness and he always has been. He is the only thing that distracts me in life other than my studies. "Sure. Can we sleep on the couch together tonight?" I asked, tilting my head and trying to look cute. It obviously worked because he smiled that beautiful smile again. "Of course, if that makes you happy, my love." He kissed my forehead gently and took my hand. "Shall we?" He said with a soft smile that made me feel warm and safe inside. "We shall." He stepped to the side and said "Come on in."  I walked inside of his house and looked around. The inside hasn't changed at all. Everything is perfectly symmetrical. This house is the house that I used to go to and hang out with Kid every day in when I was a child. I looked at Kid and noticed that hasn't changed either. He still had that look on his face and he always wore that black and white suit. I look into his golden eyes and notice that they were not the same. He had some type of emotion in his eyes that I couldn't figure out. His eyes looked softer, as if he was happier. As I studied his features he was studying me. I could tell by his roaming eyes. He looked at my hair, which was out of my pig tail and then my facial feathers'. What was he thinking? Does he think I look weird? I looked away from him and bit my soft bottom lip. What if he doesn't like my looks? I looked back at him and gasped at the sight before me. He had fallen over, his body looking as stiff as a board and a light stream of blood trickling from his nose. I giggled because I know why he's like that. I was wearing a white blouse and when I was running I must have gotten it wet. You could see my bra through my shirt. He looked at my shirt and got a nosebleed from seeing my bra. I kicked off my wet shoes and I jogged into the kitchen to grab a rag and some tissues. I always kept it in there because Kid usually only gets nosebleeds if he were to see too much asymmetrical things. I then jogged back to the unconscious Kid and started wiping his nose with the soft tissues. 

 Guess we aren't going on our date.
