A/N: I suggest you don't read this if: 1.) You haven't read the manga up to the 89th chapter and; 2.) if you hate KidxCrona. But still you can, even if you haven't read, or if you do hate. It's just a suggestion because I really don't like arguing with people who doesn't understand why we like KidxCrona and I don't want to be a spoiler.

My first fan fiction, "The Perfectionist and The Broken" which is about KidxCrona too and is based more on the anime's ending isn't finished yet. Currently, it has 7 chapters and I'm working on its chapter 8. For now, I've made another fan fiction but this time it won't be as long as the other one and it will be based on the manga.

The story in the manga:

Chapter 89: There is Someone to Admire - Maka was depressed about Shinigami's order of the execution of Crona. However, she understands what must be done. Kid said to her that it is not about executing Crona, rather than maintaining "order". While Maka was trying to find Crona, she came across Asura's wavelength. She and Soul went straight to Shinigami to report, but he already had found out his whereabouts. With that task at hand, Kid was in charge of investigating the matter (partly because of his skateboard capability), but had to quit Spartoi to do so because of his status as a shinigami. Maka asked him to take care since his mission was more dangerous than hers.

- From that point, I decided to twist the story.

CHAPTER 1: NOT ALONE

Through thick and thin.

One night before Maka Albarn was going to look for Crona, she was sitting on her bed in their apartment, hugging her legs as she was looking outside her window, feeling melancholic for her friends, Kid and Crona. Only the moonlight pierced her dark room.

Death City, Maka saw, was beautiful at night as always. And the moon smiled weirdly down at her. She looked away from the moon and thought about her friends. She was worried about Kid whose mission is going to be more dangerous than hers. At the same time, she was worried about Crona's situation too. She didn't have a clue what's happening to her best friend, she didn't know her whereabouts. She wanted to help Kid, then Crona. She tried to think of a plan but she was feeling too emotionally weak to even think straight. Suddenly, someone gently knocked on her door from outside her room.

"Maka," called Soul. "Dinner's ready."

Maka raised her head. She was a little startled when she heard Soul's voice. She quickly wiped the small tears near her eyes, and said, "I-I'll be there in a sec."

Soul noticed that Maka's voice didn't sound normal. "Hmm?" He uttered and started to feel suspicious. "Hey. Are you alright in there?" He can't help but turn the door knob. "You sound like you're…"

"Maka chop!" exclaimed Maka.

A loud thud broke the few seconds of silence in Maka's room. Soul cried in pain, grimace was written all over his face. He fell to the ground and started rubbing his head. "What was that for?" he demanded as he tried to stand up, making a fist.

"I didn't tell you to come in, did I?" said Maka as she glared down at him, her hands folded.

Soul saw that there were still some tears in Maka's eyes which made him speechless. He still wanted to argue with her but he stopped himself before making her even more upset than she already sounded like. He stood up, dug his hands in his pants' pockets and faced down.

"You wouldn't let me come in even when I ask if I can anyway."

"Of course," replied Maka. There was still harshness mixed with sadness in her voice.

"Come on, Maka. Quit the act." Soul looked at her now with solemn eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Maka glared at him again.

"It's obvious that you're just trying to cover up what you're truly feeling right now."

"I'm not trying to cover up anything. I'm just mad that you came in without my permission."

Soul sighed. "Is that really necessary?" He wiped the tear in Maka's eyes.

Maka felt like her heart stopped, her eyes widened. "S-Soul?" she managed to say.

Soul rubbed his head again and looked outside. "You don't have to go through it all alone. Remember, I'll always be here for you." He stared at Maka again who just stood there, trying to find words to stop him from worrying about her. "We're partners, Maka. Don't ever forget that." Soul started to walk out from her room but stopped when he was near to the door already. "I don't think Kid can do it alone."

"I thought so too," said Maka, feeling relieved now that she knew Soul was thinking almost thinking the same thing as her.

Soul looked back with lazy eyes. "Hey. This serious talk is really stressing, you know? Let's just help both Kid and Crona tomorrow. Now stop making that face, it's so not like you."

"Yeah. Sorry, Soul." Maka finally smiled and wiped her tears. She ran to Soul and pushed him out of the room.

Few seconds later, Maka and Soul were at the table. "I understand you're hungry but you didn't have to break my back bone," said Soul as he was about to eat dinner with Maka already.

"It's not my fault that you just tolerate yourself to get beaten up by a girl."Maka started eating.

Soul glared. "Save your energy for tomorrow," he said seriously. "If only you're not my partner, I would have tried to slice you into pieces already."

Maka swallowed her food and smirked. "We'll do that to Asura instead."

On the next evening, Death the Kid flew into the air on his skateboard, ready for his mission. He began to search for Asura or tried detect his soul on the moon. But there were no signs of him. He was starting to get frustrated since he knew Asura is supposed to be on the moon, but he wasn't… Or that's what he thought. Later, he detected two souls around him that caught his attention. He turned around and started shooting at the direction where the souls are. When he got closer, he saw that it was Maka and Soul.

"Kid, you almost killed us!" Soul said as he and Maka stood in front of Kid. "Didn't you know it was just us?" asked Maka.

"I'm supposed to be the one who should ask the questions here. Of course, I knew it was just the two of you. More importantly, what are you guys doing here anyway? Maka, aren't you supposed to look for Crona?"

"I am but… We couldn't just let you fight alone!" said Maka.

Kid sighed. "You really don't have trust in me." He placed a hand on Maka' s shoulder. "Don't worry. Go look for Crona now. She needs you." He turned around to face his weapons in their human forms. "Liz, Patty." Liz and Patty nodded and changed back to weapons.

"But, Kid, Asura doesn't seem to be around. I've been looking for him with Soul for almost half an hour now."

"He has got to be around. Are you telling me to give up?"

"No, it's just that maybe he's not here anymore. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if we stick here for long?"

"I guess that's right."

Unexpectedly, Black Star jumped in the sky with Tsubaki in weapon form in his hand. "Yahooooooooooooooo!" he exclaimed. Kid, Soul and Maka looked up at Black Star and took a few steps backwards when Black Star landed on the ground in front of them. Black Started laughing when he saw Kid, Soul and Maka's face expressions. "What's the matter with you guys? You look like you've seen a God!"

"Oh, give it a break, Black Star. What are you doing here?" said Maka.

"I can ask you the same thing," replied Black Star.

"Hey, buddy, I'm glad you came," said Soul with a smile. He and Black Star had a high five.

Black Star turned around to face Kid and smirked. "Sorry for the interruption, Kid, but I just can't let you be the one to defeat Asura! I won't let you steal the spotlight!"

Kid closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead with his fingers as he placed his other hand on his hip, feeling annoyed. "For Pete's sake, Black Star, this isn't a game. This is the mission that has been given to me, and only me. You and Maka should be looking for Crona. Is that really hard to understand and follow?"

"Don't be so selfish! Why give us the easy job, really, when we can kick Asura's butt together?"

Kid grimaced. "We don't know what Crona will be doing next so you guys should deal with her sooner or later while I'll deal with Asura. That way, we'll do things faster."

"It may be faster that way but do you seriously think it's going to be effective?" said Maka.

"Asura's very powerful, maybe one of us won't be enough," added Soul.

"I'd like to have your mission but teamwork sounds much better right now," said Black Star.

"We're a team, Kid," said Maka again. "Even when you quitted Spartoi because of your status as a Shingami, we still consider you as a part of the team!"

"Maka…" Kid faced down and thought for a few seconds then faced them again. "Fine. We'll fight Asura together but since he doesn't seem to be around here now… Maka, I know it's your mission to look for Crona but to be fair, we'll deal with Crona together like we'll deal with Asura together as well later."

Maka smiled. "Mm," she uttered as she nodded.

"Let's go!" said Black Star.

A/N: Gomenasai if I'm being such a spoiler. That's all for chapter one. I hope that wasn't really complicated. Chapter two will focus on KidxCrona now. ^^
