Black☆Star and I causally strolled around the school grounds, even though it was a Saturday. We were both bored out of our minds, and we were trying to find anyone at this point to hang out with.

Black☆Star had called Soul and Kid, but neither answered their cellphones. I thought that maybe it was just because they were busy, and of course they were 'the guys' so I half expected them to pick up, and half expected no answer.

What really worried me was that none of the girls picked up their phones. Maka always, always, picks up on the third ring, Liz before the first, Patty on the second, Kim on between the first and second, Jackie between the second and third. I called multiple times on each of their cells and none of them answered. None.

"Black☆Star..." I whispered and sat down on a bench right outside the entrance of the DWMA. I squinted into the rays of the sun just to look up at him.

"Yeah, what's up?" He replied, and stood in front of me, blocking the sun beams from attacking my face.

I lightly smiled and blushed, but then shook my head. Snap out of it, Tsubaki! There's important things to figure out right now other than how he's stollen your heart! Gah! No! He hasn't stollen my heart... It's just a small crush-

"Oi, Tsubaki!" Black☆Star leaned toward my face and my cheeks once again. Flared with heat.

"H-huh?" I waved my hand in front of my face and tried to hide the redness.

"You were saying..?" Black☆Star tapped his foot and crossed his arms.

"Don't you think it's kind of strange that none of our friends have answered they're phones, none of them have showed up anywhere on campus since Thursday, Kid's front door has been unlocked with no one home, Blair hasn't seen Soul or Maka, since Friday afternoon, even Kim and Jackie have disappeared!" I brought my knees to my chest and put my head down. "I can't help but be worried sick! All seven of them have disappeared off the face of the earth, Black☆Star!"

Black☆Star lowered his head, and his hair covered his eyes. "You're right." He muttered and clenched his fists at his sides. "I should've known..." Black☆Star sunk into the seat next to me. "Dammit!" He cursed.

"What?" I asked and turned toward him. His stern look was serious, and full of thought, as if he was pondering something. "Black☆Star.... What do you know that I don't?"

"Tch!" Black☆Star crossed his arms once more.

"Black☆St-"

"THOSE BASTARDS!" Black☆Star jumped up and shook his fist in the air. I could no longer see his expression. A shadow had cast over his entire face, or maybe it was just the glare of the light.

Black☆Star huffed and sunk back down again.

"Black☆Star...?" I reached for his shoulder, and he bursted upward again so I drew my hand back.

Once more his emotion was concealed. "THOSE JERKS THOUGHT THEY COULD JUST GO OFF BEING COOL AND FORGET ABOUT THEIR GOD???!!" He screamed.

What?

"THEY THREW A PARTY, HAD A SLEEPOVER, PROBABLY GOT WITH SOME GIRLS, AND DIDN'T INVITE THE GREAT AND POWERFUL PARTY MASTER BLACK☆STAR??!!I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT PARTY, RIGHT TSUBAKI?" Black☆Star ranted on and on about not being invited to some random party, or the fact that we are being pranked, and the secrets behind Soul x Maka, so on and so forth.

And yes. You heard me right. Black☆Star ships it. 'SoMa' for life I guess. I like to use the term OTP, but Black☆Star argues that it's 'too much of a fangirl thing and it's also too girly'. But that doesn't matter because they're missing.

"Black☆Star, I'm serious. Please don't mess around and make this a joke." Too my surprise, his entire expression changed. His stance, his voice, even his body language toward me. It was like just seeing me in distress caused him to suddenly realized that he cared. Not just for his friends, but for me.

"Sorry." He whispered and sat back down next to me. "I'm a jerk sometimes, huh? You probably don't even want to be around me most of the time. I know lots of people can't stand me either. I'm such asshole sometimes. But I also can't help it. I only act like that so that when I do screw up, it doesn't look as bad because no one ever expects much from me anyways. I'm really sorry, Tsubaki. I'm a shitty meister and I know it. If you ever want to get reassigned to someone else, I'll gladly sign the papers if that's what makes you happy." Black☆Star looked me in the eyes.

"I don't want to hurt you you anymore. There's no way I'd ever get you to become a Death Scythe, I'm just not good enough. And I'm really, really sorry, Tsubaki." The hurt in his eyes was real. Definitely real. There's no mistaking it for being fake. He did care for me! Enough to confess to me that he isn't really a dumb idiot. He's telling me the truth. Just the way he says my name so kindly, so softly, so gently.

I just want him to kiss me, even though I've never kissed anyone and I have no idea what it's like or if it even feels good, but I want it to happen. I don't know if he likes me back though. Wait. What if he's telling me this because he doesn't like me? What if he's lying to me, just to make me feel bad and the get me to switch partners because he doesn't have the guts to do it himself?

But if he does care...

Or if he doesn't...

Ugh!

"See, you don't even have anything to say back to me because everything I said was true, and we both know it. I guess I'll just get going now."

Tears started to trickle down my face. Just like, he left me. Not even a goodbye or a thanks for everything. Nothing. Not a single word. And that hurt me.

I watched in silence as he stood up and ever so slowly walked away. Almost as if he wished I would come crawling to his side, begging him not to leave me.

But of course, I couldn't resist.

"Black☆Star!" I ran after him and tugged on his arm, tears in my eyes.

Hope filled his eyes, it was like my touch enlightened his whole face. And yet I couldn't say it. I couldn't. There was no way. Not after he didn't even attempt to work this out with me, didn't even try to talk.

So I didn't.

I watched as I broke the poor blue haired boy's heart, immediately regretting my decision as I turned and ran away crying.

As I fled down the stairs, out of the corner of my eyes, I could see he was on his knees, hands out on the ground in front of him. I really hope this doesn't last. Not after everything we've been through together.

Just because we were both weak. Now we're torn apart. After something so stupid too. Why did this happen?

My crying still hadn't come close to stopping by the time I had reached the bottom of the stairs. I was hurting. And this wasn't hurt like I've ever felt before.

I shrieked and fell to my knees as I felt our soul wavelengths snap. Just as easy as that. I reached out and clutched whatever I could and pulled it close to me. Why had he cut loose? I tried with all of my strength, I fought to keep our souls connected together, and I know he could feel me fighting, because he was still, as if he was watching me. Paralyzed by my pain.

"Black☆Star..." I cried, now admitting to my fault. "Please don't let go..." I could feel my grip loosening. "I..." Any second now it will slip. "I need you!"

After all this time. Just like that, there it went. Our partnership, our friendship, our entire weapon-meister relationship. Gone. Within the matter of minutes. Why Black☆Star? Why would you give up on me like that?

I guess it's too late now.

Snap!
