chapter 3 soul's POV

Stein walked in but I ignored him and kept looking at Maka." So you remember.. me?" I winced in pain as I tried to stand up. " Soul! A are you okay?" She said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine." I said and tried for a smile but failed miserably. She looked like she wanted to argue but changed the subject." You look tiered. Go home and get some rest...or" she moved over and shyly patted the white sheets beside her." You could sleep right here."

" I will always stay with you." I said and gently and layed beside her. She layed her head on my chest and was soon asleep. I couldn't sleep I wad in so much pain. I looked at Maka and sighed. I hope not telling her will keep her out of harms way.

Makas POV

I woke up with Soul's arm drapped over me. I smiled to myself while looking at how vulnerable Soul looked while he slept. He says he fine but... I know him. Soul would say he's fine while fighting whatever's inside him all by himself.

I got up, careful not to wake Soul. I made up my mind I was going to ask professor Stien if he knows anything about what's happening to soul.

I was ready to knock on Stiens door when it opened. Stein stood towering over me, one hand messing with the screw on the side of his head.

" Maka, I was expecting you to come to my office, come have a seat." I walked to a tall chair with one long stitch that looked a lot like the stitches Soul has... I shake my head tryin to get the picture out of my mind. " I talked about Soul right?" He didn't waite for an answer. " the black blood is slowly consuming his soul."
