IN THE END
Why do we try so hard?
Why do we want to change something?
Why?
What do we get from reaching the end?
The wind hitting her face made Maka Albarn smile… she's the captain of the famous Team Spartoi. She, along with her fellow comrades fought with all their might to defeat the kishin, Asura.
Even if she's regarded as one of the strongest meisters of all time, she's still a simple girl… with simple dreams and desires… like all the others, she dreams to be married to the love of her life, but we all know that it will not be that simple… though her love for him is as wide as the vastest oceans… though her love for him is as sweet as the sweetest honey… though her love for him is of the purest intentions… though her love for him goes with forever… we all know that even if the man loves her in return, with a love that no one can comprehend; their love can never be.
Painfully, they must face this fact every day. They must bear the painful clenching of their hearts as they see each other.
Maka sighed at the sight below the roof top of DWMA. It's peaceful right now… now that the madness has cleared up already.
Her mind lingered to the precious memory she had years ago. That simple talk… that simple conversation she had with him…the day he admitted that he's in love with her, in an indirect manner... she smiled. I wonder if he can still remember it… I wonder if he still has the same feelings for me…
Years have passed and they have grown. Kid is now old enough to replace Shininigami-sama, with her OCD partly disappeared. Patricia or Pattie, is still living with him… though her sister, Liz moved at Soul's. The two realized they are now ready to face the adventures of having a family. Meanwhile, Tsubaki and Black Star decided to travel around the world.
A lot has changed lately. Maka became a teacher in the academy, and Kid sat as the vice principal. But, there are still things that didn't change… one of them is Maka's constant stayingon the roof top.
She hummed the tune Soul composed just for them… a sort of stress reliever form the whole student-teacher thing.
"Maka-sensei, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to eat lunch with Marie-sensei?" a voice behind her called.
She looked back, meeting his pair of familiar gold eyes… the eyes of death. His sanzu lines, which he hated so much back then because it's asymmetrical, circled his head fully… making him symmetrical.
"Vice principal… what are you doing here?" Maka asked.
Death the Kid walked towards the railings and joined her sightseeing. "Well… I just want to seclude myself for a while… how about you?"
Her now ponytailed waist level auburn hair lashed with the wind… "I dunno… I just come here every time I want to…"
Kid let out a sigh, "Time is moving really fast… isn't it?"
"Pardon?"
"I mean… one moment, we were kids… fighting Asura from spreading his madness throughout the world… we even flew to the moon… and now… well… who would have thought? We've grown."
"But there are still some of us who haven't…" Maka let out a helpless sigh with the thought of Black Star and Soul.
Kid chuckled, "Yeah. They still haven't changed a bit… Liz is complaining about how Soul would handle their first baby…"
"Baby?! They are to have one now?!"
"You haven't heard? I can sense it will be fraternal… a boy and a girl… both weapons."
"Wow… that's great."
"So… um… how about you? Have you no plans to have a husband?"
"Hm… I'll pass…"
"But you have a lot of suitors lately! Do you want to regret later… just like Marie-sensei?"
Maka laughed from Kid's reaction…
"What's so funny?" Kid argued.
"No… nothing… nothing really… it's just that… I didn't expect you to say that."
"Hm… I suppose…"
"So… how about you?"
"What do you mean by "How about you?"?"
"Well… the last time we talked like this… you told me you have this really special girl, to whom you revealed your kind's weakness to…"
"Oh… right…"
"So, have you already asked her out? I mean… it has been a long time since you told me… no?" Kid did not reply. It made Maka sigh again. "You still haven't?"
"It's not as easy as you think! You see, she's very dense. Every time I try to tell her, she puts it the other way around…"
Dense?! "Ah… I see…"
"But still… I really like her. For a long time now… I have been loving her secretly…"
"I think you should just go up and tell her… by the way, what she's like?"
"Well… she's smart… strong… fearless… and very beautiful…"
"Why did you fall for her?"
"No particular reason… I just woke up one morning to realize I already fell for her."
"That's stupid!"
"Not really…it's the truth Maka. One day, you will meet someone, then… you'll just realize you love him already."
"I think… I already found him…"
"Pardon?"
"I already found the someone I could call "special"…"
"Oh…" his expression dropped. "May I know who this lucky person is?"
"Well… you know him well…"
Before the shinigami could even reply, raindrops began to fall down…feeding the hungry soil of Shibusen. The two didn't bulge. They decided to feel the relieving coldness of the went back to his senses first.
"Come," he started. "We need to get inside now. You'll catch cold."
"Don't worry about me… I want to feel the rain a bit, " Maka smiled.
"Then, I'll accompany you…"
"Thanks."
"Huh?"
"I said thanks."
"Thanks? Thanks for what?.."
"For being here…"
"Oh… well… that's what friends are for, right?"
"Kid-kun."
"Yes?"
"You do realize that my special someone… is you… right?"
The shinigami shifted his gaze to her…trying to find any evidence of her joking around. But he wasn't able to… she's being truthful.
"I… am?" he mouthed.
"You're quite dense…"
"That's because you're not obvious enough…" and he leaned down to kiss her. Maka smiled inwardly… this is something she didn't expect how a kiss from death, himself would be like. It was not cold… it was full of warmth. For at this moment… he is not "Death"… but merely "Kid-kun"…
Years later, when it rains… they would remember how the mere raindrops helped them… how it rained when he gained the courage to tell her that he loved her, indirectly… how it rained when she admitted that she already knew… and how it also rained when they vowed in the pact of forever…
