Finding the Way Home

12: Gone

sorry for the shitty chapter name I really couldn't think of anything even after I wrote the chapter

Maka 2's POV (Yes, I'm still going back to the other world for a brief part of this chapter.)

I woke up in the morning, and went to make breakfast for everyone, since Black Star, Kid, and the Thompson sisters were all in my house. I went to what used to be Soul's room to get Kid, but when I knocked on the door, there was no answer. I knocked again, and when that didn't work, I opened the door, and he wasn't there.

I sighed. I missed having Kid around in the first place, and now I miss having him around more. I trusted that version of Kid, probably more than I should have. I freaking let him shoot towards me, because somehow I could tell what he meant to do.

Thinking about the Kid I had known for years jumping in front of it just confused me, though. Two weeks ago he tried to kill me. There's no denying that. I was so confused why he suddenly wanted to save me. Then, I remembered the way he acted before he turned on us. How he constantly asked me out, he honestly seemed hooked on me but I never really thought that he actually had feelings for me. The fact that he actually took that bullet to 'save' me made me realize I was wrong about that. My only question was why the hell he didn't just turn back to normal in the first place if he still had those feelings the entire time, and why the hell he tried to kill me.

But I guess now I'll never get the chance to know, now.

Most of me was glad he was gone though. His death wouldn't bring Soul back, but it was the next best thing.

Maka 1's POV

I woke up, almost forgetting I was alive again. It was crazy how I adjusted to being a ghost within a couple of days, yet it's taking me at least a day and counting to adjust to being alive again.

I sat up from my bed, and saw the bed Soul had slept in last night unmade and there was no trace of him. I went to the kitchen where I thought he would be, but he wasn't there either. I shrugged it off for the moment, and grabbed some cereal that Blaire had. While I poured my cereal, I heard the front door open, then close a couple of seconds later.

Soul must have gone on a walk. I thought. Not too long after I had that thought, Soul walked into the kitchen, and I was surprised to see Kid behind him, and even more surprised to see there were no white stripes in his hair. I stood there for a moment trying to figure out why those stripes weren't there, until he explained, almost as if he read my mind.

"My shinigami powers are temporarily suspeneded until Blaire holds up her end of the sentence." Kid said. "And the stripes on my hair are a part of my powers, so that's why their missing."

"Oh..." I replied. I guess I made it a bit too obvious that I was thinking about that.

"Kid?!? You're back already?" I heard Blaire ask behind us.

"Uhh yeah. By the way, what the heck was your part of the sentence?" Kid asked.

"I don't think I should say in front of those two." Blaire said, which made Soul and I look a little uncomfortable.

"Okay." Kid said, dragging it out a little awkwardly, and then Blaire grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the kitchen, to where we could barely hear anything from their conversation. Just after Blaire dragged Kid out of the kitchen, Black Star walked in.

"Hey guys." Black Star said with a yawn. "Did I miss something?"  Black Star looked at us in confusion, probably because we both still looked a bit uncomfortable with what Blaire said.

"Kid's back." Soul said. "Had he has no shinigami powers until Blaire holds up her end of the sentence, but for some reason she didn't want to tell him what she had to do in front of us..."
