A/N: I love this title; it is a play on words, you know? The Grimm Reaper is referred to as "The Undertaker" by some (mostly those in the west if you want to be historically accurate), but the word as I have used it in the title also means "pledge." Ergo, Kid is making a pledge to win Crona's heart, and being cute while doing it. I tip my hat to you sir. Then there is the added bonus of having Crona's ignorance of anything having to do with romance absolutely kill any attempts on Kid's part to form a more intimate behavior. Looks like Crona's doing some undertaking of her own, haha poor Kid...
This is going to be a collection of one-shots dedicated to Kid and Crona, and will show Kid' struggle to make Crona see him in a more...intimate light. Poor boy is willing to do just about anything. Each chapter will not be too long (not over 300-400 words), and I will be updating every Wednesday! So get ready!
It has been such a long time since I submitted anything...oh my goodness, so sorry everyone (I really need to go back and finish "Different"...). I am glad to be back though, and hope this multi-chapter story will help me get my writer's brain back on track.

Chapter One: A Promise
He's got his eyes trained on one girl.
She's standing in the corner as the rest of their friends chatter aimlessly. Her neck is slightly bent as delicate strands of lavender pink locks frame her fair, pale skin. He's been watching her for some time now, something Crona has yet to become aware of.
He isn't sure how his feelings for her came to be. All he knows is that he would very much like to converse with her. Have her look him in the eyes. Become a little closer to her.
She's such a pretty girl too, asymmetrical posture and hairstyle aside. Her face and curves are certainly pleasant to look at, but it's her soul that quickens his heartbeat and sends him into a blushing frenzy whenever her fingers accidentally brush against his arm. Her soul is one of the purest and kindest he has ever seen, and Death the Kid has seen many.
She's absolutely perfect…..and Kid wants her all to himself. However, hesitant as Crona is, how will he ever manage to get her to look in his direction long enough for him to make a move?
Well, that's a challenge now isn't it?
And a difficult one at that. Crona look up from her twiddling thumbs and trails her eyes over the room until she catches focused amber eyes looking directly at her. He notices a slight dusting of grey appear on her cheeks as she nervously waves at him. Kid smiles warmly and waves back as she once again returns her attention to her hands.
He smiles at this small reaction. Yes, it will most likely be a difficult challenge, but she is special, and he'll do anything to get closer to her.
After all, he's got his heart set on her.
