Nightmares. Chapter one.

It was a calm night in death city, the moon silently watched over the city, there was no movement, and everyone was quiet. In a small apartment, Maka was trying to sleep. Her eyelids heavy, she was thinking about how much everything had changed in the last year, how her Soul, Kid, Black star, Tsubaki, Patty, Liz and everyone had defeated Medusa and the Kishin and brought peace back to the world. Since then things had been very uneventful, the most exciting things she looked forward to were the groups' basketball games and when a new mission came up. Maka no longer felt she had any feelings towards Soul, yes they were partners but she knew he never felt the same and that he was only interested in Blair because of her chest. But, that never made the nightmares stop, they got worse, a lot worse, she would dream about Soul ripping her heart out her chest and how everyone else wouldn't do a thing to stop him, even she didn't stop him. So, tonight was just another night Maka lay there in anticipation, she hoped that for once the nightmares would go away. After a while she decided that she wanted to get some fresh air, so she put her shoes, grabbed her coat and slammed the door.

On the other side of Death city, Kid , lay silently in his bed, he too could not sleep, since he was a death god he only need three to four hours of sleep a night. For once he had ran out things to do, both Liz and patty were sound asleep, he wondered about the others , were they asleep? Kid got up, got dressed and put some shoes on, he went to the fridge and pulled out a carton of milk, he poured it into a glass and drunk it quickly. Slowly, he opened the door and closed it gently making sure not to wake anyone up. It was quiet outside; there was a cool breeze that battered Kid's hair. I wonder if she's figured out get Kid thought to himself. Does she know how I feel about her? Kid was brought out of his deep though when he heard footsteps approaching, who would be out at this time of night? He made his breath almost silent and stood completely still, in case it was an enemy.

Maka continued walking, it's such a lovely evening I should have brought a book along, or a drink so I could sit out here and relax. She turned the corner and saw a familiar face. He just stood there with a blank look on his face. 'Maka? What are you doing out so late at night?' Kid asked. Maka inspected him, he was wearing his usual clothes, his hair was messy but it suited him and he was in a casual stance. 'I couldn't sleep and it was such a nice evening I thought I'd take a walk' she said, she looked up at the sky to see the stars shining brightly. They both started walking together, there talk turned to books and past events, whilst the perfect evening was about to change. She entered Death City on her broom; she watched Kid and Maka as they made the way down to the Beach, waiting for her chance to attack the defenceless meister's. Kid and Maka made it down to the beach; they both sat on the sea wall and admired the view. The sea was calm and gentle and they both felt they could relax. 'Kid, there's a witch in Death city heading this way, she's not using soul protect' Maka and kid turned to each other, they didn't know if they could stand a fight with a witch, when both of them were without there weapons. The witch landed gracefully after jumping from her broom, she smiled wickedly whilst her long purple hair flew in the wind. She was wearing a short black dress that had an overlay of netting and plastic spiders, thick black tights and knee high boots that had a lace bow on them. With one hand she got out her wand, she stood in a defensive manor and stared at Maka and Kid. 'In three days, I will return and in three days, you will both watch as your world's come crashing down. Don't try to stop me or I will make sure you never see the light of day again' after telling them of her warning, she jumped on her broom and disappeared into the night. They both stood there unable to comprehend what had just happened. Why hadn't she attacked when she knew they were both defenceless? She could have killed them then and there. Both of their thoughts turned to what would happen in three days. 'Three days' time, I wonder what she will do, kid do you think she would attack death city? Maka asked, there was doubt in her eyes, kid wondered if this was the reason she couldn't sleep or if she was trying to hide something. 'well, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to attack death city by themselves , it would be a suicide mission, hey Maka lets just forget this ever happened, it was probably just a witch trying to scare us, do you want to come back to mine for a hot drink? Its freezing out here' 'sure Kid, that would be nice, and your right it is freezing' Maka said as she shivered, Kid took of his jacket and placed it round her shoulders, she smiled at him warmly 'thanks.

It was only a couple of minutes before the made it back to Kid's place, Maka noted its perfect symmetry and how clean the place was. There were some candles burning and the room was warm. Kid walked into the kitchen. 'Hey Maka, what do you want to drink' 'a warm milk please' Maka said excitedly. Kid got out two glasses and poured some milk into them before placing them into the microwave for a couple of minutes. He then went into another room and came back with a plate of cookies. A loud pinging noise then came from the microwave. Slowly, kid picked up the two glasses and walked into the living room, where Maka was sitting on the couch. He then placed the Hot Milks and cookies on the table before sitting down next to Maka. Kid notice the doubtful look in Maka's eyes, it was clear she was worrying about something. What would happen in three days' time? No, kid thought Maka wasn't the type to worry about things like that. 'Thanks for the drink and cookies' she exclaimed as she gently took a sip from the glass. The milk was warm and this made Maka sleepy, she hadn't had a good night sleep in days and it was finally hitting her. 'No problem, are you ok? You look very tired' 'I haven't been sleeping very well lately, I guess I just need a goodnight sleep' Maka said as she yawned. 'Well you're welcome to stay here for the night' kid explained with a smile on his face. 'Thanks kid, but I wouldn't want to impose' 'I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't serious about it' kid said, after they both finished their drinks, kid lead them to his room. Maka noted the beautiful blue wallpaper with a skull directly in the middle; he had a set of draws both on different sides of the room and a bed in the middle. It was so simple yet it suited him so perfectly. Kid pulled down the cover of the bed and Maka laid down. 'I will sleep on the couch, so I don't disturb you' Kid said trying to be a gentleman. 'Kid, this once will you stay with me please' Maka asked shyly with a slight blush appearing on her checks. Kid got in the bed and laid next to her, he could feel how cold she was when she began to shiver. He pulled her head into his chest and wrapped his arms around her, she relaxed and in minutes she fell asleep, Kid continued to caress her hair softly. I love you kid though as he fell asleep with Maka in his arms. What would tomorrow bring?
