Maka and Soul ~ A new Madness

The Madness in the Soul

Maka P.O.V.

Seeing Soul's expression made me sick, and terrified. How was I going to tell him? After Stein examined my soul he figured out that part of the kishin's madness had latched onto it, and that's what made it so powerful.

"S-soul," I began, I couldn't stop crying and he continued to hold me. "Part of the Kishin Asura's madness has latched onto me from the battle. If I battle anymore eggs, I could become a kishin, I can't be your partner anymore, I have to leave the academy until I know how to get rid of it." I pushed myself out of his arms and ran. What was I going to do? Soul was my partner, my best friend, I couldn't just let this end. I was going to get rid of the madness. Even if it killed me.

Soul's P.O.V.

We couldn't be partners anymore? What is she thinking?! I've waited my entire life to be a death scythe with her at my side. We can't give up on our dream! I ran after her, and suddenly it occurred to me that she was moving away. I ran faster. If she knew how I feel about her maybe she'll stay. Maybe we can defeat the rest of the Kishin's soul. I ran into our apartment and looked frantically, I heard someone sobbing in the bathroom. I tried to open the door but if was locked. I pounded on it until my knuckles began to bleed.

"MAKA! Please open up!" I begged. No one answered, so I kicked the door down. She was sitting in the bathtub. Crying in a ball with her packed suitcase beside her. I threw it out of the way and put my arm around her.

"We've been best friends for how many years? Oh, that's right, five years, for five years you have grown on me and become something more, bookworm." I turned her around so she was facing me. "You're more than just my best friend! Maka...I, I love you, you idiot!" And I kissed her hard on the lips. I had craved this for years, and it finally had happened. Except something went horribly wrong.

***************************************************

Maka P.OV. 

Soul was kissing me. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, and my face flushed red. It was my first kiss with him, and probably my last. I opened my eyes, and noticed that something was wrong. We were no longer sitting in our bathroom, but we were sitting in a room. 

"Soul...." I said, lingering, and pointing to a red soul in front of us. This was the kishins' madness. He noticed it as well and transformed into a scythe. "You're mine!" I screeched, and ran for the bobbling red ball. It dashed away, and grew into something monsterous. It became part of Asura; but it wasn't quite him. His face was deformed, his skin was melting like candle wax. Fear raced through my heart, and I screamed. 

"Maka," I heard Soul say, "It's just a show, it's not real, it's a diversion!" I realized he was right, and I shook it off. I went in  to charge the soul. That's when Soul switched back.

"Soul! No!" I grabbed him to protect him, and the soul changed into a spear, and went right through my shoulder. This time, it wasn't a diversion.

Soul P.O.V.

No...

I fell for it.

I thought I saw Maka run for the soul, dropping me, so I switched out.

My Maka. 

I howled and grabbed the soul. 

"NO ONE TOUCHES MY MEISTER." I said sternly, I grabbed the soul and squeezed it, it began to crumble, I continued squeezing but nothing happened.

No. Something was wrong. I gave everything I had into it, Maka and I were being sucked out of the soul's madness.

NO. NOT WHAT AFTER YOU DID TO MAKA.

But it was too late. I woke up in the bath tub, still kissing Maka. She was bleeding out. At first, I thought she was dead, sending me into a fit of angry sobs, I felt for her pulse, and it was light, but still there.

I removed her jacket, and vest, and ripped off my shirt, tying it around her shoulder.

"Maka," I picked her up, stumbling to the kitchen, I pulled out my phone and dialed Steins number. "Stein, I need help, right away, please get to our apartment now, it's an emergency, please." I mumbled into the reciever, and somehow Stein managed to understand what I said.

Five minutes later, our entire gang was here. Maka had been taken by ambulance to the hospital, and they wouldn't let me ride along with her. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my hands in my head. This was all my fault. How could I deal with it if Maka was gone? I couldn't...

If she left...

If she died...

She can't.

I love her too much.
