Soul woke up and looked around the room. It was his living room and his fireplace still glowed with embers. "Soul how are you feeling?" Maka asked. He sat up and rushed over to the stairs. His knees buckled and he fell to the floor. "Soul! Please just lay down. You cut your side on the truck also and you lost lots of blood. You'll still be weak" Maka explained. "Get off me Maka!" Soul growled. Maka flinched at his words. He slowly got up and walked upstairs. Maka watched him sadly. "I should have warned you" Black Star spoke from behind her. "What happened to him?" Maka asked. "I don't know what you said to him but you broke his heart and his mind. It took years to be able to see anyone from death city. He got his missions in the mail, finally he contacted me wanting to meet" Black Star explained.
"The great I tried to keep it a secret but sadly I couldn't" he continued. "I think we should head back Maka, He's not going to come to the wedding" Black star advised. "Would you please ask him at least?" Maka asked. Black Star nodded and walked upstairs. Maka heard yelling and a crash. Black Star came downstairs with Soul. "I'll go to the wedding only because we used to be friends Maka" Soul whispered. He walked past her and into the kitchen. He came back from with a phone in hand. "You should call you fiancé" Soul said handing the phone to Maka. Maka dialed the number and Derek answered on the fourth ring. "Maka I've been so worried!" her fiancé screamed into the phone. "Hey baby I'm so sorry, our car crashed and Soul had to save us but he got wounded so Black Star and I have been busy taking care of him" Maka explained. "Okay Maka I'm glad you're safe though. How is Soul?" Derek asked. "Not the same Hun, he's just not the same" Maka sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that is he coming to the Wedding" Derek asked.
"Yeah we coming home early so I should see you tonight babe I got to go love bye" Maka laughed. Soul came downstairs with a backpack and a motorcycle helmet. "Let's go" he said as he waked by opening a grey door and going inside. Maka heard the familiar rev of a motorcycle engine and Soul pulled up in the front. Black Star and Maka met Soul outside. "Take the bike inside Black Star" Soul yelled then he took off. Black Star got on the bike and Maka got on behind him. They took off after Soul. It took them 3 hours but they got to the airport through the blizzard. The plane ride was long and quiet. When they reached the death city airport. Their friends were waiting for them when they got there. "SOUL" Liz and Patti screamed running towards him. He walked towards the side exit of the airport. Once outside he took off towards Death City leaving Liz and Patti behind. Patti started pouting at his exit.
"Maka!" Derek yelled hugging his fiancé. "Hey babe" Maka laughed hugging him back. "Where's soul?" he asked. "He took off" she replied. They all got in a limo and drove to their homes. Maka and Derek got off at their apartment building. After trekking up the stairs they walked into their apartment. Soul was asleep on the couch with Blair in cat form lying on his chest. "Soul!" Maka screeched. He jumped at the sound and fell off the couch. "Waz wrong wit u?" he slurred. "Why are you here?" she screamed. "I thought I'd stay at our old apartment considering it's the only place I remember" he replied yawning. "But I'll go to a hotel" he said with his usual emotionless expression. He walked past them grabbing his stuff and leaving. "Maka he can sleep in the guest room" Derek said. "Fine" she grumbled. Maka texted him and he came back walking to what used to be his old room. "Goodnight" he called. "Wow he really is different from how you explained him" Derek said surprised. "Shhh he'll hear you" she replied. Maka looked into the night sky through her window wishing the Soul in her guest room was the Soul she used to know.
