Chapter 8: Three

Soul...

Soul squeezed his eyes closed, blocking out the sound. He didn't want to wake up. He wanted to lie there in that bed, safety asleep for as long as he could.

Soul...

Soul mentally growled at the voice. It was familiar, but he couldn't place it. He clenched his teeth, keeping his face buried in his pillow.

Soul! Get up!

Soul growled out loud this time. When he did, he felt someone pushing against his shoulder. He jumped up, about to punch someone in the face before his eyes widened. The eyes that looked back at him were golden yellow, framed with short black hair with three horizontal lines on the right side.

"K-Kid?" Soul breathed, not believing his eyes. He wanted to look around the room, but couldn't pull his eyes away from Kid's.

"Well duh it's me. Who else would come wake you up?" Kid asked, crossing his arms in an annoyed fashion. He closed his eyes and shook his head. Soul was confused. Why wasn't Kid happy to see him? Why was he just... standing there, like nothing had happened? Like Soul hadn't been missing for... however he was missing for. Soul brushed the questions aside in favor of jumping from the bed and crashing into Kid, crushing him with a hug.

"S-Soul? What's wrong?" Kid asked, shocked.

"I... I missed you." Soul whispered into Kid's chest, trying to hold back tears.

"What? You saw me last night Soul." Kid laughed out, rubbing Soul's head. Soul slowly let go of Kid, still kneeling on the bed.

"Yeah... I guess I did." Soul smiled, relieved that everything that had happened was only a dream.

"Well, we've still got about an hour till Maka and Spirit finish breakfast, what do you want to do?" Kid asked, smoothing out his shirt.

"Let's go out for a walk." Soul said, jumping up to get dressed.

"You seem different Soul, are you sure you're okay?" Kid asked, watching Soul run around the room to gather clothes.

"I'm just... really happy." Soul said as he pulled his pants on.

"I can tell." Kid said, quirking his eyebrow. Soul had his arms in his shirt, before he put his head through; he turned to look at Kid.

"I acting completely uncool, aren't I?" He asked, laughing out nervously.

"Not really. Hurry up and put your shirt on so we can go." Kid said, smiling at Soul. Soul smiled back as he finished getting dressed. He grabbed his jacket and walked over to Kid.

"Thanks for waking me up, I was having a horrible nightmare." Soul said, as he turned to walk to the door.

"Really? I had a strange dream too." Kid said, following Soul. Soul stopped to look at Kid.

"I'll bet it wasn't as weird as mine was." Soul said with a wink.

"Well, I thought it was strange."

"Let's hear it." Soul said with a laugh as the two walked down the hall.

"Well, in my dream... you asked me out, and I said yes! Can you believe it?" Kid laughed out. Soul stopped in his tracks, watching Kid walk ahead of him.

"W...what?" Soul asked in a dead voice. He was waiting for Kid to take it back, waiting for the "I'm just kidding", but it never came. Kid turned around and looked at Soul questioningly.

"Told you it was a weird dream. I mean, come on, you asking me out? That has to be the strangest thing in the world. We're like brothers; I don't think I would feel comfortable with that." Kid laughed out again. Soul felt faint, and could hear his heart beating in his ears.

"You... really think like that?" Soul asked softly, refusing to look at Kid.

"Well, yeah. Don't you? I mean, you're a great friend, but I'm just not attracted to you, Soul. You're completely unsymmetrical." Kid said, crossing his arms.

"Oh..." Soul couldn't talk, he felt like his heart was getting ripped out. He turned around and walked back towards his room.

"Soul, where are you going? Didn't you want to take a walk?" Kid asked, following Soul.

"No... Go on your own." Soul replied in a dead voice. Kid stopped, shocked by Soul's reaction.

"Soul, what's wrong?" He asked, reaching out to stop Soul by grabbing his arm. Soul turned around and shoved the hand off, shooting a glare at Kid. Kid was shocked again to see tears starting to fall down Soul's cheek.

"Soul-"

"Just leave me alone." Soul whispered out, turning to run the rest of his way to his room, slamming the door shut. Soul sank to the floor, crying into his hands. This couldn't be real, just a part of his dream still... he had to be dreaming still.

"Soul, open the door!" Kid yelled, pounding on the door.

"Go away!" Soul yelled back, standing up to walk to the window.

"Soul, I'm coming in." Kid said, kicking the door in. Soul didn't even jump when the door flew off the hinges.

"Just go away." Soul said again, not expecting Kid to listen to him.

"Soul, what the hell is wrong with you?" Kid asked, roughly grabbing Soul's shoulder and turning him around. Soul didn't fight back this time. He just couldn't bring himself to do anything anymore.

"Soul, answer me." Kid said in a stern voice. Soul just shook his head, shoving past Kid to leave the room, but Kid stopped him by tackling him.

"Soul! Talk to me!" Kid yelled, forcing Soul to look at him.

"You want to know what my problem is?" Soul asked in a harsh voice making Kid flinch slightly. Kid nodded, sitting back so that Soul could sit up.

"My problem is that I must still be dreaming..." Soul said, pushing Kid off him.

"What do you mean you're still dreaming?" Kid asked, completely confused.

"If I wasn't dreaming, I wouldn't be so hurt by your words. If I had dreamed what had happened then I wouldn't be so hurt by you saying you didn't like me that way." Soul said before running out of the room.

Kid followed him, yelling out his name. Soul bumped into someone, falling to the ground.

"Sorry, I-" Soul stopped dead, looking at the man he ran into.

"It's no problem, Soul." Stein said with a kind smile.

"No..." Soul jumped to his feet and started to back away from the man.

"Soul, what the hell os your problem?" Kid asked again, catching up to the two.

"Good morning Kid. Is everything alright?" Stein asked, smiling at Kid.

"I think Soul needs some more sleep, he's acting pretty weird." Kid told the man. Soul looked between the two as they talked. They acted as if nothing was wrong.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Soul yelled, stomping on the ground.

"Soul, what's wrong with you?" Kid asked, getting rather annoyed with him.

"Soul, are you alright?" Stein asked, reaching out to feel Soul's head to see if he had a fever.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Soul yelled out, running away from them. He ran until he couldn't move any more. He collapsed to the soft ground, confused as to why the ground felt like a bed. He opened his eyes and groaned.

"I can't believe it..." Soul whispered out, looking around the room. He was still in the room that Stein had locked him in.

"It was all a dream..." Soul said to himself. He looked around and found his cloths neatly folded on the foot of the bed. Soul eyed them before looking around the room to find the door was open.

Soul quickly got dressed and quietly walked over to the door, looking out into the hallway. It seemed clear, so Soul quietly walked down the hall, being sure to watch for anyone who could be there. He crept around the corner, stopping when he heard yelling.

Soul followed the voices, suddenly recognizing the two. It was Stein, and the other was Kid. Soul ran towards the yelling, skidding to a stop in front of a door.

"You can't have him back!" Stein yelled pulling out a gun.

"NO!" Soul screamed, running through the door. Stein pulled the trigger, hitting Kid directly between the eyes.

"KID!" Soul screamed, falling to the floor. He looked back up at Stein, growling. He launched himself forward, landing a punch on Stein's jaw. Stein fell back slightly, but regained his balance. He punched Soul back in the gun, sending him to the floor doubled over in pain.

"Ungrateful little piece of shit..." Stein whispered out, pointing the gun at Soul. Soul looked at Kid one more time before he heard the bang. Soul closed his eyes waiting for death to come, but it never did. He opened his eyes again and cursed out. He was back in the room.

Soul yelled out, gripping his head. He felt like he was going mad. He felt the soreness start to creep back, which enraged him even more. He went blind with rage and started the punch the walls, the floor, anything he could get his hands on. He couldn't control himself. He fell to the floor and screamed again.

XxX

Spirit smiled in triumph when he pulled up a video on the screen of the computer. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed it.

"Kid... I know where he is." Spirit said, hanging up and waiting for Kid to rush into the room.

XxX

Soul was sitting back on the bed, looking at the needle on the nightstand. He felt the need and every part of him hurt. He had been dry heaving for the past three hours. He looked away from the nightstand to the window where he could see the sun starting to come up.

"Two more days..." Soul whispered to himself, lying back in the bed.

A/N: okay, sorry for the crappy chapter. Yes, Soul had been dreaming. That didn't really happen. However, yes, Spirit found him. You all will figure out how next chapter. Love you all; please tell me what you thought.

Karina: You're effing evil.
