Chapter 01: Recovering
Chrona watched from the safety of Shibusen with Marie-sensei as the others tried to help the teenage heroes out from the wreckage that used to be Baba Yaga Castle where they battled Asura minutes ago. She was worried for her friend Maka. A relieved sigh escaped her lips when she saw the blonde hopped up the stairs with Soul's support. They were arguing about something but this is normal in her point of view.
'M-Maka!' she exclaimed happily.
The blonde was startled and her eyes widened at the sight of the lavender haired girl. Tears welled up in her eyes, 'C-Chrona?'
Chrona shifted nervously with a blush. She squeaked when Marie gave her a light push to approach the blond meister. The taller girl smiled to her friend, 'W-welcome back…'
Maka quickly wiped away her tears and grinned cheekily, 'I'm back!'
'YOSHA!!! I have surpassed Kishin!! Therefore I have surpassed GOD!!!' cried a loud voice.
Black Star landed between Maka and Chrona and he punched the air victoriously. He began striking random poses and grinned like the idiot he is. Maka puffed up her cheeks in annoyance and Soul merely grinned at his friend's antics. Tsubaki ran up to join them and she gave them an apologetic smile.
'Oi!! Someone get Dr. Stein!!' cried Sid's voice.
The teenagers turned to him and their eyes widened at the sight of Shinigami's son, Kid, in his arms. He seemed paler than his usual skin tone and his brows scrunched up in pain, so does his face. He seemed to have problem breathing too. Liz and Patty were running to catch up with the zombie, their expression showed extreme worry.
Maka gasped, 'Kid?!'
'Oi, oi! What's going on?' asked Black Star a bit annoyed that people are not giving him attention.
'What happened?!' asked Soul worriedly.
Liz stopped to catch her breath, 'W-we're not sure! He was suddenly in pain and he fell on his knees!'
Their attention returned to Kid when he let out a cry of pain as he clutched his chest. He writhed in the zombie's arms, his other hand clawing at the man. Cold sweat formed on his forehead. Sid rushed into Shibusen without hesitation followed by a worried Marie. The other teenagers too ran after them.
'Chrona.'
Chrona stopped abruptly, her eyes wide with fear. She spun around to stare at the empty court but her eyes fixated at the sky. She shuddered before turning and following the others, Maka was waiting for her. When asked she merely reply, 'It's nothing.'
But when no one was looking, she bit her bottom lip nervously and stared at the floor, 'T-that voice… It couldn't be… No!'
'Yes. It's me my beloved child.'
She tensed, 'M-Medusa-sama?!'
The familiar voice chuckled, her voice echoing in her head, 'You can't escape me child. I am your mother.'
'N-no! It can't be!! How?!'
'Kukukuku, you are my child, my dear Chrona. You carry a piece of me in you.'
Chrona gasped but no one noticed because everyone was gasping for air as they ran toward the infirmary. She shuddered, 'N-no… Lies!!'
Medusa didn't reply and she frowned. Could she be imagining it? She shook her head and tried to focus on reality.
A man wearing a hat hummed as he fingered the book hanging by his side. He smirked as he patted it, 'Hmm, I need to expand my collection.'
'Is it time for us to make our move?' asked an expressionless voice owned by a shorter young man with bored eyes and dark hair.
The man with the hat shifted his weight to his other foot. He smirked, 'I think it's time to pick up our little Shinigami-kun.'
'Ughhh, I just got here,' said a man as he stepped out of the shadows.
The man with the hat smiled, 'Ah, Giriko. Welcome back!'
'How's the act going?' asked the younger man.
Giriko scratched his head, a scowl on his face, 'It's going peachy!'
'Good. Now, with the death of Kishin Asura, we can commence our plan. The world will still remain in chaos and madness still lingers, this is the chance for us to step out of the shadows. Let's bring back our master! Kishin Scelus!!' said the man with the hat.
Giriko let out a groan as his shoulders hunched forward, 'Man, when can I get a vacation?'
It hurts. It hurts so much!
His whole body ached, searing in pain as if he had fallen into hot lava. He wanted to scream but he couldn't find his voice. He gasped for air as he gripped his chest. It felt as if something wants to burst out of him, clawing at him from the inside.
Make it stop!! It hurts!
His eyes snapped open wide and his back arched when a powerful burst of energy was released from within him. His once black void surrounding became brighter, a blinding white of overwhelming power and pain. His muscles throbbed at the mass energy engulfing him. He reached out trying to grab something, anything that he could use to pull himself out of the immense mix of pain and power.
Suddenly, red seeped into the corners of his vision. His head began to throb, his thundering heartbeat drumming loudly in his ears. He could hear sinister laughter echoing around him. Getting louder and louder that it rang inside his head, pushing him toward insanity. He groaned and grabbed his head, eyes shut tightly.
S-shut up!
Can you feeeeel it? Can you feel the madness?
Shut up! Begone!!
Embrace it Shinigami-kun. Madness can give you power. You will no longer feel fear and you will be unstoppable! Embrace it!
Leave me!!
You cannot escape me Shinigami-kun! You have great madness within you. All you have to do is give in and embrace it!
'SHUT UP!!!' cried Kid as he sat up in bed. He was covered in cold sweat and gasping for air. He was shivering, not because of the cold but because of the lingering feeling of nearly being consumed by madness.
'Y-y-you're awake!!' squeaked a voice.
Het turned to his right and was shocked to find Chrona there sitting in a chair by his bedside. What shocked him the most is that his hand was holding her's tightly. He felt his face heat up and he muttered an apology as he pulled his hand away.
Chrona fidgeted nervously after the two remained silent for five minutes, 'Umm… a-are you a-a-alright S-Shinigami-kun? EEEP!! I m-mean, S-S-S-Shinigami-san!!'
Kid blinked as he watched the Demon Weapon bearer fumbled with her words in embarrassment. He gave her a weak smile, 'I'm… fine.'
The lavender haired girl calmed down, 'O-ohh…'
They remained quiet for a few moments until Chrona broke the silence, 'Umm... you had a b-bad dream...'
'...I'm fine,' replied Kid blatantly. The girl flinched at his tone of voice and she nodded meekly mouthing 'I see.'
The young Shinigami looked around and realized he's in his room. He returned his gaze back to the fidgeting Chrona, 'Why are you here? H-how long have I been out?'
Chrona blushed and bit her bottom lip nervously, 'Umm, Liz and Patty left to buy some groceries… Maka and the others are busy with the repairs of Death City and Shibusen… T-they asked me to watch after you s-since I got nothing to d-do. You've been unconscious f-for a whole week now.'
Kids brows furrowed, 'A week?!'
The girl squeaked and she nodded her head vigorously as her cheeks flushed. Kid let out a sigh and remained silent for a few moments before he spoke, 'Wait! One week is seven days!'
'Uhh, y-yes?'
The young Shingami flopped down on his back and shut his eyes, 'I shouldn't be awake today! I'm supposed to be awake tomorrow on the eighth day!! Eight is a beautifully symmetrical number you know that?'
Chrona tilted her head, 'Umm… no?'
He opened his eyes and pursed his lips slightly, 'Don't you think symmetry is beautiful?'
'A-ahh, I don't know…'
He sat up and stared at her, which in her point of view is a deadly glare. Chrona shrank in her seat and she let out a small whimper. She fiddled with her index fingers nervously as he continued to stare at her. She flinched when he spoke, 'Chrona-san.'
'Y-y-yes?'
'Did you know you are covered in symmetry?!'
'EEEH?!' asked the girl as she impulsively hugged herself.
Kid nodded and spoke with passion, 'Your dress is a beautiful symmetry! So does your shoes and your face! The only thing that ruin your beautiful symmetry is you hair!! Unacceptable!! Let me trim it for you!!'
'EEEEEEEH?! N-no! I like my hair this way! I don't know how to handle a new haircut!' Chrona whined as she backed away from his reach.
'Pigyeeaaaaaah!!!' cried a high-pitched squeaky voice as Ragnarok sprout out from Chrona's back. The chibi black being bonked Kid on the head, 'What the fuck are you trying to do pervert?!!'
'Argh!! What the- Ohh, now I realized it!'
'Huh?' asked the two partners.
'Even Ragnarok is a beautiful symmetry!!'
Ragnarok punched the striped haired shinigami and waved his fist around, 'Don't come near us pervert!!! And I ain't beautiful!!!'
Chrona grabbed the weapon's flailing arm, 'Ragnarok!! Don't hit him! He's injured!!'
'Like I fuckin' care!!!'
'Are you alright Shinigami-san?'
'Hey! Don't ignore me!!' said Ragnarok as he gave her a noogie.
Chrona whined and tried to pull him away, 'Ow! Stop it! That hurts!! Ragnarok!! Stop!'
'Make me!!'
'She said stop!' said Kid sternly as he grabbed the weapon's arms. The two had a glaring contest and it broke when a voice broke out.
'Chrona-chan? Is something wro-' Liz paused and stared wide eyes at them.
In her point of view, since Chrona's back is facing her, it looks like Kid had held the fragile lavender-haired girl's shoulder with an angry expression. He was looming above her who sat on the chair looking afraid. The two teens didn't realize that Raganarok had shrunk back and thus Kid's hands are now on Chrona's shoulders.
Liz's face twisted into anger as she boomed, 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO POOR INNOCENT CHRONA-CHAN?!!!'
Kid held his hands up defensively, 'L-Liz! I w-wasn't-'
'It's a misunderstanding! HewasjusttryingtohelpmefrombeingbulliedbyRagnarok!' said Chrona quickly.
The other two stared at her incredible speed of speech. Liz sighed and tried to regain her composure but she shot Kid a death glare before her eyes softened, 'How are you feeling?'
'I'm fine…' he replied nervously.
'Geheheheheh!! Lookie at what I got Chrona-chan!' said Patty as she ran into the room with a plate of cupcakes. The younger Thompson noticed Kid was awake and she giggled, 'Sleeping Beauty's finally awake!!'
Kid flushed, 'Sleeping Beauty?!'
Before he could say anything Chrona stuffed a chocolate cupcake into his mouth. A tinge of pink was on her cheeks, 'You need to eat… you've been sleeping for a week Shinigami-san…'
The Shinigami flushed and nodded, 'O-okay…'
Patty giggled as she took a big bite of her own cupcake. Liz raised a brow as she stared at the three before shaking her head with a sigh. She smiled at Kid, 'Welcome back Kid.'
'U-unn. I'm back.'
The four, or should I say five (including Ragnarok who had popped out) ate the cupcakes and chatted. But Kid ended up throwing up because his stomach rejected the cupcake. Chrona didn't stop apologizing and Patty was laughing madly. Liz sighed and announced that he will only be fed soup until he could stomach something solid. Things seem to go well. For now.
