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..."

Kid's POV

"Blaire, I swear if you do that-" I started.

"Do you want your powers back or not?" Blaire asked me.

"Not if that's what it takes! I'd rather just live a regular mortal life than have that happen!" I said. "Other than me getting my powers back, you have no reason to actually do that. The Order of the Shinigami can't actually do anything to you, so just don't do it."

"Are you 100% sure, Kid?" Blaire asked me.

"Yes, I'm sure!" I said.

"Okay." Blaire shrugged, and started walking towards the kitchen, and I followed.

"Oh hey Black Star." Blaire said when she got into the kitchen.

"Hey Blaire. Hey Kid, nice to see your back." Black Star said. "What's with-"

"My powers were taken away." I said, before he could finish asking his question.

"Oh I guess that makes sense." Black Star replied. "So what was going to another world like? I bet that was awesome!"

"It was pretty cool." I replied. "Well, after I managed to convince that world's version of you two," I pointed at Black Star and Maka, "that I was from another world."

"Why did you have to convince us and not Soul?" Maka asked.

"I kind of showed up in the middle of that Soul's funeral." I said. "Apparently that world's version of me killed that version of Soul."

"Seriously?" Soul asked.

"What? That version of me was evil. Either way it was actually meant to kill Maka, at least that's what I heard." I said.

"Why would-" Maka started, but I cut her off.

"I have no clue. In the end he actually died 'saving' that version of you," I gestured quotation marks with my hands, "from a shot I fired. It wasn't actually aimed at your head, but it was close enough to fool the other me."

"Why did you have to do that in the first place? Why didn't you just beat his ass?" Black Star asked.

"Because the other you and I tried. It wasn't exactly going very well, considering dodging his attacks wasn't easy since he had Excalibur." I said. "And he managed to dodge all out attacks as if they were nothing."

"Why the hell would you use Excalibur? He's so annoying!" Black Star said.

"That's exactly what I was thinking when I heard that." I said. "Apparently he's less annoying there."

"I wish the Excalibur here was less annoying." Black Star said.

"I don't think we should be talking about him too much. He always seems to appear randomly when someone talks about him lately." I said. "I mean, since you guys died and stuff."

"Nice to know that now." Black Star said.

"So, are we ever going to tell the others that we're back?" Soul asked, changing the subject.

"Wait, nobody else knows you guys are alive yet?" I asked.

"No... We just got back to life yesterday." Maka answered.

"Yeah, and Blaire wanted to keep it a surprise until you got back." Soul said, though I knew why Blaire really wanted to hide the fact that they were alive. It was because of her part of the sentence. She was supposed to kill them, and she wanted to see if I was okay with that before she did that. That's why she didn't want everyone else to see them yet, and that's why I told her not to do it.

Kid 2's POV

I woke up with a jolt. It took me a minute to remember what happened to me, with the fight, the other me and Black Star.... He fucking tricked me. I noticed mid jump the damn bullet wasn't even headed directly at Maka, but it was too late.

Still, I didn't mind. I knew I deserved to die for everything I did to Black Star, Maka, Tsubaki, and Soul. I don't know why the hell I didn't turn back to normal when my soul was separated from Asura's, but my guess was that a small bit of his soul still lingered in mine or something, because looking back on everything that happened in the last two years now made me want to just kill myself over again.

I looked around and noticed I was in the DWMA. I realized how much I had missed being able to walk in these hallways, yet I couldn't understand why I didn't realize this when I was alive. I walked around through the empty hallways for a bit, and looked through the door to the classroom that my friends and I used to go to together every day, and in stead of Stein teaching there, someone else was up there.

"Kid?" I heard a familiar voice say behind me. I turned around and saw my father.

"Wait you can see me?" I asked him. "I didn't think you'd be able to since I'm a ghost..."

"I don't know why I can see you," He replied. "But what are you doing in the DWMA?"

"I kind of just woke up here...." I said. "I have no clue why."

"Usually when a ghost first appears they go to the place that the person they wanted to be with spends most of their time." he explained.

"I guess that makes sense." I said. "Though I would think that ghosts would go where they spent most of their time..."

"No, but they usually just find themselves wandering there anyway." He said, and then there was a long pause. It had been two years since I had been on friendly terms with him, and just as much time since I had a proper conversation with him. 

"I'm really sorry, about everything." I said. "I really wish that I had just gone back to being my old self, but I have no clue why I didn't. It just felt like I couldn't or something, like for some reason I didn't completely want to..."

When he didn't respond, we just looked at each other for a bit, until Soul (I had no clue what he was doing at the DWMA) walked up.

"What the hell are you doing here?!?!?" He yelled.

Okay so I know I said this would prob be the last chapter  but I haven't had the time to actually make this long enough to get to the ending, so next one will most likely be the ending (honestly this was only supposed to be 10 chapters but whatever)

Sorry I didn't update on thursday or friday, not so sorry about not updating yesterday, though, because I had to wake up a t 4:30 in the morning to get to my indoor drumline show in time, and then I went to a JROTC competition, then my cousins were over at my grandparents so we went there and I didn't get home until around 10:30 and I hit my bed and passed out..... and I woke up with cat pee on the leg of my jeans :/

Anyway, I don't have another drumline competition until the begining of April and then I'm done with indoor drumline! yay! Also, I'm not sure what the hell is going on but while I was writing this I kept having something popping up saying I have another version of this on another device.... No joke it popped up 10 times while I was writing this chapter and I only wrote this chapter on my laptop.... so I'm kind of getting a little paranoid about that but whatever.
