Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews. Here is the next chapter, I'm sorry if it's a bit of a mind fuck. But please, enjoy nonetheless!

Disc. – I do not own Soul Eater, only the plot here is mine.

"So, can anybody tell me what Combined Resonance is?" Stein asked, walking back and forth across the front of the classroom, just in front of Kid and Black*Star. Maka raised her hand slightly and Stein caught a glimpse of it, "Maka?" The girl sighed and stood up, "As stated in our work books, Combined Resonance is a move any two people who are close as friends or family can use," She took a breath before continuing, "It normally is used by a pair of Meisters when they are without their Weapons for self-defense, and the power of the strike depends on the power the individuals posses and the strength of their souls."

Stein nodded, clearly impressed, "Anything else?" The class looked back at Maka, who was flicking through her book until she found the page she was looking for, "Combined Resonance is like a normal Soul Resonance, and the pair can hear each other's thoughts and feel how they are feeling. For each pair it's a different Resonance, a mixture of each fighting style and their strengths." Stein nodded in approval, and an excited chatter rippled through the classroom.

The Professor cleared his throat to get the student's attention once again, "You got one part wrong Maka, not just any pair of friends can use the move, they have to train with each other to be able to use the move." Black*Star and Kid glanced at each other again, getting the gist of what was being asked of them. "Black*Star, Kid, this is like group resonance, but this time you have to put your all into it and hold hands," Stein stated, standing in front of them. "Hold hands?!" Black*Star's eye twitched, "No way dude. I'm way too big a star for that!" Stein glared at the boy and the Assassin gulped, slightly un-nerved by the Scientists look. "Oh fine!" He growled as he took hold of the Reaper's outstretched hand, "It's your lucky day, holding the hand of such a big star like me..." Kid chuckled and muttered something inaudible. "Go ahead you two, but if you feel a painful tug on your souls, pull out of it immediately, a Combined Resonance is significantly more dangerous than a Group Resonance!" Stein ordered, standing back. The two Meisters nodded and started focusing, calling out to each other using their souls. Slowly yet surely their bodies started to glow an alluring light blue as their souls expanded slightly. The students watched in awe as a small wisp of their souls reached out towards each other and connected with a small flash of light. But something strange happened. As the students looked on, the souls that had once surrounded only one Meister each suddenly conjoined. As the two souls became one, the light that once joined the small wisps filled the space enveloped the pair.

Black*Star looked around as his eyes grew used to the bright space, desperately looking for Kid. He could hear voices, one louder than the other. "Kid?" He called out as he turned on the spot, searching for the Reaper. He stopped dead in his tracks. There standing next to Kid was the figure neither Meister could forget. The figure stared back at the Assassin, a mouth stained by five vertical lines upturning into a smirk. Golden eyes gleamed as it took hold of the startled Reaper who was being held like a rag doll as his limbs fell limp. Kid stared up at the space, as if he couldn't move his body or scream. It was almost like he had been put to sleep with his eyes open. "Kid!" Black*Star yelled, running forwards. He looked down at the space between them and his eyes widened when he saw he was making little progress towards the helpless Meister. He looked back up and his heart skipped a beat as the figure dug dull teeth into Kid's bare, pale neck.

A pained scream erupted from the Reapers mouth which caused the other Meister to squeeze his eyes shut. He couldn't bear to hear the Death God's scream. He didn't have to for much longer as the figure dropped Kid without hesitation. Black*Star was now only a step away from the two, his fist flying towards the figure. The figure smirked, red blood running from the corner of his mouth. "PULL BACK!" A voice echoed loudly. Just as Black*Star was about to make contact with the figure, pain surged through his chest and a wave of invisible energy struck him like a moving brick wall, sending him flying back off his feet. As he landed with a heavy thud the light around him disappeared and his surroundings was that of the Academy's classroom. As he lifted his head slightly he noticed he was lying on his back eagle-spread across the floor. A pair of hands picked him up off the floor while he was still in a daze. "Black*Star, wake up, now's not the time for a nap dude!" Soul said in his right ear as he steadied the boy.

The Assassin shook himself free of Soul's and Tsubaki's grips and supported himself for a few moments, before the top half of his body lurched forwards as he bent over. Vile lifted up his throat and soon he let his stomach's contents spill out on to the floor. A hand patted him on his back as his body shook violently. It took him a few moments but soon he stood straight and wiped his mouth on the back of his glove. "Where's Kid?" Black*Star asked, looking and sounding quite exasperated. Soul's expression turned even more worried at the mention of the young Reaper. "He got the worst of it, he's over there," Soul replied as he pointed over to the other side of the classroom. Black*Star immediately turned his sights to where Soul was pointing, to see Stein and the others leaning over Kid who hadn't got up off the floor. "I need to take him to the Medical Room, Maka call Lord Death and tell him the situation. Maka nodded and ran over to the mirror that looked like it had been knocked over, but not before shooting a worried glance at Black*Star. Stein grunted as he lifted Kid off the floor, carrying him out of the room at a hurried pace. The Thompson sisters followed suit. Wait. His eyes shot back to the floor where Kid had lain, a small puddle of darkening blood stained the floor. His neck! Black*Star jumped over the mess he made and staggered after the Professor, a worried looking Tsubaki following him and trying to get sense out of his actions.

Black*Star didn't slow down, even when his mind became clouded with dizziness. That person… Was it… The memory of the golden eyes radiated back into his mind. Was that Kid's madness?
