Stein was pissed. He sat at the kitchen table and glared at the cup of coffee in his hands before yawning and running a hand over his face. Standing, he chucks the half empty mug of coffee at the wall, taking little pleasure in hearing it shatter as it connected. Nothing had been right to him since Spirit left. The house felt empty without the boisterous red head bouncing around and doing something. Stein sighed and stalked out of his house, heading for the academy. When he arrived, he went straight for his classroom, throwing the door open and storming inside. The class gave a collective gasp as Stein came in; for once Stein didn't roll in on his lab chair, he walked in. Instead of talking, all Stein did was write the assignment on the board and walk back out heading straight for Shinigami's room.

Shinigami looked up from his book as Stein walk, well rather, stormed into his room, stopping in front of him and crossing his arms over his chest. Shinigami looked at him and marked his place in the book he was reading before putting it down. He stood and smirked at Stein.

"Is something wrong Stein-kun?" Shinigami asked.

Stein glared. "Is something wrong? Yes something is wrong!" He growled out. "Ever since Spirit left, everything has been wrong! And I don't know why!" He practically shouts at the Lord of Death.

Shinigami snickered inwardly. 'Poor Stein', he thought, 'Doesn't even realize his feelings for Spirit.'

Stein sighed and ran his hand down his face, looking up at Shinigami with empty greenish gold eyes. Shinigami stepped to the side and Stein nodded thankfully, sitting down on the couch.

"I don't know what's going on. Ever since Spirit left I haven't been able to think of anything else." Stein groaned. "I have no idea why either."

Shinigami sat beside Stein and bopped him on the head with a large hand. Stein glared halfheartedly at the Lord of Death. Shinigami chuckled.

"Have you even thought about why you keep thinking of Spirit?" Stein glared harder. "Well maybe if you can figure out why you keep thinking about him you can figure out what to do."

Stein sighed and started adjusting his screw. He stood and nodded to Shinigami before leaving the room and the school. When he arrived home minutes later, he went straight to his lab to do some thinking. The scientist spent hours down in his lab doing nothing but thinking about his absent Weapon. The next day Stein's left eye twitched as he left for the school. He found Shinigami standing in front of his mirror watching Maka and Soul fight a Kishin.

"Shinigami-Sama," Stein's eye twitched again and he began to adjust the screw in his head. "May we speak?"

Shinigami nodded and turned to the irate scientist. He motioned to the couch and Stein sat down gratefully. Shinigami sat down as well. Stein turned to him, his greenish gold eyes swimming with emotions the scientist usually didn't have.

"I-I've thought and I've thought." Stein sighed. "I know I have feelings for Spirit. I know that I do because I can't stand the thought of him with somebody else. When he left with Kami I was devastated, I wanted to kill her. I thought she deserved to die, she took Spirit from me, an offense punishable by death in my opinion. I get jealous when he leaves to go to that damn bar to pick up girls. Spirit is mine, he always has been and I refuse to give him to anybody else."

Shinigami chuckled. "So do you know what you feel?"

Stein's eye twitched again. "I believe I love him." He sighed. "I know I do. I can't stand the thought of him leaving me. I feel lighter when he's around. I-I love him and I may have screwed up any chance I have of telling him. That and he may not even return my feelings."

Shinigami chuckled inwardly. Stein is in love with Spirit and thinks that Spirit will never return his feelings. Spirit is in love with Stein and thinks that Stein will never return his feelings. Wow those two are really alike. He started laughing.

Stein looked at Shinigami with narrowed eyes. 'What are you thinking Lord Death?' Stein wondered. His eyes widened when the insane Lord started laughing. He edged away slightly, sure he was insane but seriously, Shinigami-Sama had a few more screws loose than he did.

"Trust me Stein, you don't have to worry about Spirit. You just have to worry about how long it'll take for him to come back home."

Stein sighed and nodded as he stood. He absentmindedly started to turn the screw as he stared at the Lord. Glaring, the scientist turned, his lab coat billowing behind him, and walked out of the room to class.

Time passed slowly and soon fall gave way to winter and the school let out until spring. As time continued to pass, Stein slowly acknowledged his feelings and accepted the fact that he was hopelessly in love with Spirit. The days grew longer and Stein waited impatiently for Spirit to return so that he might be able to tell the Death Scythe how he felt and hopefully his sentiments would be returned positively.

Spirit glared at the innocent looking twin in front of him suspiciously. Madness sat in the corner, snickering under her breath at the scene.

"I can't believe you did that Bast!" He accused.

Bast gave a smug grin and stuck her tongue out. "You needed a new look if you plan to seduce Stein."

Spirit's eye twitched in a familiar manner. "That doesn't mean you have to change my physical appearance!"

Madness couldn't help it anymore. She gave into her urges and began laughing at the top of her lungs as she rolled around on the floor. Spirit's hair now went down to his elbows instead of the not-quite-shoulder-length style it was originally. His pants were tight fitting but still allowed him to be able to move freely. His shirts were tighter as well and were a light gray color instead of the pale green he usually wore. Bast had left the rest of his outfit alone but she had made sure they were form flattering as well. Spirit sighed in defeat. Bast grinned and clapped her hands together happily.

"So I'm assuming that since you've been gone for so long, you'll be going back in time for Yule?" Bast questioned.

Spirit nodded. Madness quit laughing and stared at Spirit somberly. She stood and, together with Bast, wrapped Spirit in a hug.

"I love you guys but I miss my daughter. I've come to terms that while I may love Stein I should not expect him to return those feelings." He told the twins, smiling sadly.

Bast and Madness looked at each other before looking at Spirit, who took a hesitant step back in fear. The twins shared a grin and stepped forward. Bast swiped her nose with her thumb and gave a victory sign. Madness made a motion like pushing up glasses and gave a smirk.

"Well then," Madness started.

"Looks like," Bast continued.

"We'll be going with." They finished together.

"Hai, hai." Spirit sighed waving his hand, "I figured you would."

Madness nodded and Bast grinned before the three of them parted and went to pack their belongings. When the three came back down, Spirit was holding the luggage he came with, while Madness and Bast were both carrying the same messenger bags, but with different designs to show who had which bag. Bast's bag was pure black with a very realistic heart on the front with a large chunk ripped out and laying to the side, the blood was a very bright purple. Madness's bag was also pure black but instead it had 'Death' written across the front in blood red coloring and was decorated with Shinigami skulls. The three grinned at each other and walked out the door. Bast gasped and ran back to lock the door before running back to the snickering two she had left. She pouted at them and Spirit ruffled her hair playfully while Madness poked her in the side.

"Nyaa~ Guys stop it~!" She whined.

Madness and Spirit chuckled and the three continued on to the train. When they got there, Spirit put his luggage up and the three wondered around the train for a compartment to ride in. They picked one in the middle of the train and Bast quickly put up a barrier spell around the door to keep unwanted company out. To the girls, the train ride passed slowly but for Spirit it went by too fast. By the time the train rolled into the station for Death City, Madness had fallen asleep against the wall, her book sliding out of her hands. Bast was curled up halfway under the seat on the floor, a half eaten cookie in her hands, mumbling about something. Spirit had also fallen asleep, laid out across the seat, drooling. The train lurched to a stop and Spirit fell off the seat. Madness stood alert nearly stepping on Bast, who was still asleep mumbling about destructive twins needing to let her sleep for another five hours.

"What ever happened to five minutes?" Madness wondered aloud before kicking her unconscious twin awake.

Bast sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes tiredly. "We here?"

Spirit nodded and looked out the window. He pulled his hair up into a ponytail and grabbed one of his bags. "Welcome to Death City."

Madness and Bast looked at each other and grinned. The two girls grabbed their messenger bags and followed Spirit, who had gone to get his luggage. The trio stepped off the train and Spirit stretched, popping his back in the process. Bast giggled and Madness shook her head. Spirit grinned and turned to the girls, making Bast cower behind Madness from the sheer glee it radiated.

"To the academy first. I think. School might be in session right now so if it is then we go to my place." Spirit's grin got brighter.

Madness sighed when Bast whimpered and mumbled about it being to bright.

"Isn't that where you live with Stein-baka?" Madness asked.

Spirit pouted but nodded. Bast crept out from behind Madness and latched onto Spirit's arm.

"Don't worry Spirit-kun. We'll be with you."

Madness gave a sharp nod in agreement with her twin.

"Hai. So don't get your hopes down baka Spirit." She told him smirking.

Spirit gave a small smile and Madness gave him a quick hug before picking up Spirit's luggage. Bast smiled and hugged him tightly before grabbing the rest of the luggage. Madness and Bast looked at him expectantly and he gave a small grin before leading them to the school. He pouted when he noticed that there were students there and turned around to lead them to his house. He sighed dejectedly and opened the door. The two girls carried his luggage inside and smirked to each other before dropping it on the floor silently and wondering around the house to explore.

"Sugio." Bast whispered as she walked down into Stein's labs.

Upstairs, Madness was poking around in the library. She had an evil grin on her face as she looked over the books that Stein had. 'There are some here that not even my Twin and I have.' She thought gleefully.

Spirit walked out of his room after unpacking everything. He looked around and sighed before going to look for the insane Technician and Weapon. When he found them he gave a light chuckle and dragged them out of the house and down the road to Death Weapon Meister Academy. Bast took one good look at the school and began to proceed in poking Madness in the side until her lighter half got pissed and hit Bast upside the head.

"What." She growled giving off a very dark aura.

Bast grinned and pointed to the school. "They're participating in animal cruelty Maddy-chan! They have a porcupine stuck to the top."

Madness looked up and gave a gasp, bouncing up and down excitedly. The girls shared a conspiring look and smirked darkly. Ahead of them, Spirit gave a fearful shiver and proceeded to pretend that the two were not going to do something purely insane. He gave a sigh and gave up. Those two were plotting and he wanted nothing to do with it.

"We're here." He told them, interrupting their plotting.

The girls grinned and ran to catch up with Spirit. They latched onto his arms and all three of them walked inside the school. Madness and Bast quickly wandered off and Spirit walked down the hallway to Shinigami-Sama's room. He gave a bittersweet smile and pushed open the door to walk inside. Spirit sighed gratefully when he noticed the only person in there at the time was Shinigami-Sama. Smirking evilly, and having the passing thought that maybe he spent too much time with the Twins, Spirit quietly walked over to stand behind Shinigami-Sama. He snickered inwardly and poked the Lord of Death in the ribs. He started laughing hysterically when Shinigami jumped and clung to the top of his mirror.

"Sh-Shini-Shinigami-Sama," He gasped out between laughter, "It-It's great to-to see y-you."

Shinigami glared at the returned Death Scythe and slipped off the mirror. He waited with a twitching eye for Spirit to regain his breath. Deciding that the Scythe was taking too long a glint entered his eye.

"SHINIGAMI-CHOP!"

Spirit clutched his head, crying dramatically. Shinigami scoffed and sat down on the couch. Spirit grinned and sat down on the arm of the couch beside him. Shinigami tilted his head waiting for Spirit to start talking.

Spirit sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I've been staying with some old friends of mine until I could get my head on straight. Bast and Madness have been perfect and they've helped me with my feelings. I understand that I just can't run away because my feelings aren't returned. I know that while I love Stein and he may not love me I can't allow that to get in the way of my job as a Death Scythe."

Shinigami smiled and pulled Spirit into a hug. He chuckled softly and Spirit looked up at him curiously.

"I think you may be surprised." Was all he would say. "Do you want me to call everybody here?"

Spirit nodded. "Though could you not call Stein... I want to confront him myself."

Shinigami nodded and stood from the couch to call the kids.

Maka and Soul looked at each other before shrugging and gathering their stuff, leaving class. Death the Kidd followed suit after making sure everything was perfect. They stopped suddenly when they walked into Shinigami-Sama's office and saw a person with red hair sitting in Shinigami-Sama's lap.

"Father?" Kidd questioned.

Shinigami looked up and motioned for the three of them to come further into the room. The person lifted their head and looked over at the trio. They gasped and stood rooted to the spot. Spirit smiled.

"What's wrong? Seen a ghost?" He joked, smiling.

Maka was the first to get over her shock. Growling under her breath, she walked over to her father.

"Maka-chop." She stated calmly, slamming a book onto Spirit's head.

Spirit moaned and clutched his head. He pouted; that was the second time he'd been hit since he had gotten back. 'Maybe I should have stayed gone.' He thought to himself as he tried to ignore the oncoming headache. He stood and walked over to his daughter, wrapping her in a hug. Maka sniffed and clutched Spirit's shirt tightly in her fists. They separated and Spirit turned to the two boys. He smirked at the closeness between the two of them. They noticed and both boys sent their own glares at the smug Scythe.

"I'm sorry I've been gone so long everybody." Spirit told them, tilting his head to the side as he smiled.

Soul scoffed and Kidd's eye twitched. Both boys walked over to Spirit and punched him. Spirit bent over and clutched his stomach. He pouted at the boys, but they just looked at him blankly. He stood and stretched, popping his back. He smiled at the three kids. "I guess I have some explaining to do don't I?"

At the three glares he received, he stepped back and scratched his head sheepishly. Shinigami sweat-dropped and sat down to watch the proceeding show. Spirit sighed and sat down to start explaining.

"I left the states to go visit a couple of friends of mine in Norway, where they were living at the time." Spirit tilted his head, "Don't know where they plan to live now, though. I've know them for a while so they were quite excited to know that I was coming to visit. I hadn't planned to stay for so long, but after explaining to them why I had left Death City, they were more than happy to make sure I took a very relaxing vacation." He sighed. "The reason I left was because." He paused and took a deep breath. "I'm in love with Stein and I couldn't handle being around him. I left in order to clear my mind and make sure that I wouldn't do something that would endanger the people around me."

Maka blinked. Soul smirked. Kidd looked at his father, who just sighed. Spirit tilted his head to the side, giving a small smile. "Gomenasai. I had no intention of making you all worry about me."

"What are you going to tell Stein, Papa?" Maka asked coming out of her shock.

Soul and Kidd looked intrigued about the answer too. Spirit gulped and gave a sheepish grin.

"I was going to confront him after I had explained everything to the three of you. And Maka, I have another confession to make, but that is something I should tell you privately. If you wish to tell your friends after I tell you, you are welcome to do so, but for now I'll tell you and only you."

She nodded and Soul looked confused. Spirit grinned and stood. He kissed Maka on the head and hugged the other two boys. Shinigami looked amused when Spirit refused to do anything other than wave to him. Spirit gave a small giggle and waved.

"I have a mad scientist to hunt and strap down." He smiled. "Don't wait up Shinny-chan, Kay?"

*giggles and stretches* Nyaa~ I left a cliffy just for you guys. Maa one chapter left. Stein and Spirit reunite, but *gasp* will Stein hate Spirit for being gone despite being in love with the Death Scythe? Will Spirit actually strap the Mad Scientist down? Just wait and see! Next time on A Scavenger Hunt for his Heart.
