Maka's sacrifice

Maka and Stitch

Dr. Stein POV

I pushed my glasses up, readying my self.

"SOUL COMBINE" I took the blood I had retrieved from Soul and started to sow Maka back together.

Her spirit clicked back with her body and I didn't dare loose concentration yet.

I felt the low humm of her body and mind merge back with her soul, at the same time my thread pulling her wounds and skin back in one piece.

Sweat appeared on my forehead as I held her body together, almost there!!

'thump'

'Thump'

With each beat, her body started to function. Skin scabbed, nerves zapped, white blood cells spread and blood loss started to slow.

I sat down in my rolling chair, putting my head in my hands.

Sure with the healing help of combining her weapons blood with hers accelerated the process and she will be okay in a matter of days and can leave in two weeks tops but what sort of affexts will the black blood traces that I found still linger have on the two, what will they do her?

I sighed, taking such a risk was abnormally bold for me but I took the chance and ened up saving her.

Bandaging her open wounds, I couldn't get the thought of something terrible happening because of my choice to save her.

I slipped my bloody gloves off and opened the door where Blackstar was listening in from.

He fell face first on the floor and I merely glared at him from above.

He shot back up and turned to where all of Spartoi waited.

"HEY GUYS! HE'S DONE WITH MAKA!!"

Tunring towards me he returned the same intensity. "THE GOD BLACKSTAR DEMANDS TO KNOW! IIS MY GODDESS OK!?!"

Under all the false pretense of godliness he had a real air of fear and worry.

" She is fine, you can come see her if you like, I assume she will be waking up sooner or later.

"You really are pretty cool Doc " Soul commented, exhausted and stretched thin, before hurrying in beside Makas hospital bed.

They all gathered around her.

"Well it was a long and difficult procedure but I was able to bring her back although...." I stopped there.

Patty and Liz were trying not to cry for Kidd's sake and Tsubaki was trying to cheer Soul up.

What? I brought her back, I mean what are they all upset for.

"back? Are you saying maka.." Blackstar stood with his bangs covering his eyes, his clenched fists shook. " Maka was dead?" He looked at me with tearing eyes and a water logged voice.

We all stared at him bewildered, the blue haired self proclaimed god... Was crying?

"She ugh the first surgery uhhh went haywire and yeah she ,," he looked down again and scowlrd at his feet, turning back at Maka he wiped his eyes and ran out of the window.

"BLACK STAR!!" Tsubaki made a move to follow him and Liz followed her.

Patty sniffled "Why is Maka nii so sick? She was just playing with us yesterday?" Patty started to cry and Kidd held her as she cried.

"Wahhahha!" Patty left and Kidd chased after her with tears also waiting to be freed.

I looked at Soul who hadn't made a move or even said anything since I said I had brought her back.

I recognized the signs and left. I need to study.

Before leaving I turned and looked back at Soul and Maka.

Either this will draw them closer or rip them apart.

Soul POV

Maka died. She was dead

I felt so numb, grabbing her hand I sat down in the chair behind me.

I couldnt protect her, she DIED for Kami's sake.

I laid her small hand in mine, bring them to my forehead and let a few tears fall.

"Mmhnnnn" Maka murmured and I quickly wiped my face and grinned as her eyebrows forrowed and her eyes fluttered open.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed.

I felt a tug in my mind soon pounding into a migraine.

"Ahhh" I yelled. It felt like I was being stabbed repetitively in my mind.

Still screaming Mama's wavelength was shaky, I grabbed her hand.

Maka! I tried to push my wavelength to her and calm her but it wasn't affecting her.

I felt something snap in her, and give way for my mind and we both scream in pain of our head.

Then, darkness ate us, drowning us in its wet and blackened embrace.

Blackstar POV

I sniffled, rocking on my perch on the hospital roof. I didn't want to face Maka or any of them, not yet.

I was weak and totally not godly at all, I must have disappointed them.

Sighing I turned towards the sunset.

Ever since that one hunt where Maka and Soul had come with us, I felt different around Maka, nervous and excited and protective.

I had acted so confident, and soon enough I had even started believing it, believed that I could, would be a God.

And that Maka would be my Goddess.

FLASHBACK- MISSION WITH MAKA

3rd Person POV

'Karen Vampire! WE HAVE COME FOR YOUR SOUL!" Maka leaped daringly from the roof top, swinging her weapon gracefully, Karen jumping and flipping back, baring her long fangs.

"YAHOOOO!" Blackstar laughed, Swinging Tsubaki at the Kishin.

They ensued in a heated battle for at least an hour, Karen having been the most powerful they had fought since Asura.

Ching! Maka's scythe finally hit home, but at a cost.

The godly assassin watched, horrified at the scene in front of him, he dropped Tsubaki.

Karen had cut her strips across her the stomach, her enormous claws raining pain against Maka's abdomen.

Maka coughed blood and grinned grabbing the soul of the newly departed Vampire. "gotcha" she mumbled in victory before growing weak and falling. Soul was stricken at all her blood evacuating itself and finding a new home on the cobble streets.

She staggered and Blackstar grabbed her and picked her up, held her close to him and bathing him in her blood accidentally.

Soul changed back along with Tsubaki and that was it.

The moment Blackstar decided he would never let any harm come to his courageous friend.

And it only accelerated from there. It turned to a nervous humm in his stomach and imagining her by his side all the time, her being his significant other.

Blackstar doesn't really understand it yet, but he too fell for Maka unknown to even himself.

And pondering upon that he sat watching the sun and worrying over his injured goddess two floors below him.

"Blackstar!! Come down please!!" Tsubaki yelled, trying to get him inside where it was safe.

"Yeah ok...." He stopped as something struck him as odd, even with his awful 6th sense.

His panic spiked as he realized where that was coming from.

Zooming past Tsubaki down the stairwell, he could feel Maka's soul pulsing dangerously high in black blood, Soul's spirit to close for comfort.

A gut wrenching scream confirmed Blackstar's theory.
