Author's note: Hey there readers. Minion and Utah here with a fic. This is a post-anime fic. We've started an ambitious plan of releasing a fic once every month. We're a little late here but this is Febuary's fic. The usual process of writing is, write on paper, type online, copy to word document, upload in on FFN and then finally release it. The problem is that one of us in our senior year, and the other just started college,so instead of writing longer chapter ones, we decided to knock out a few one-shots. Read, enjoy, review.
Marie Mjolnir walked purposefully to the Death-room.
Recently, her mind had been troubled. She defeated the witch Medusa, saved her former crush Franken Stein and a little girl named Rachael, and the Kishen, Asura was killed. The thing that was troubling her was a certain pink-haired child. Crona. Crona was ordered around at a young age by his/her (Nobody knew Crona's actual gender) mother, Medusa. Years of following orders or being beaten/punished had pushed Crona to the brink of insanity. Lately, Crona had been getting better thanks to Maka Albarn and her group of friends, but Crona still had a long way to go. Crona still needed a parental figure who would actually take care of him/her. She told her fellow death-scythes about her troubles, and strangely, only Spirit understood where she was coming from. He told her that, after all Medusa did, Crona deserved a loving mother. This lead to Marie currently standing in front of Shinigami-sama.
"Oh hey Marie! How's it going?"
The death-god asked, tilting his head. The orange haired woman took a deep breath, determination in her golden eye.
"I wish to adopt Crona."
RRR-A Fresh Start-RRR
Sid the zombie lead Marie down to Crona's cell.
"It's really great that you're doing this Marie." The blue skinned zombie said. "Though, are you two going back to Oceana, or staying here?"
Marie smiled.
"I don't work there anymore. I turned it over to Maka and Soul, since Soul recently made death-scythe status. I decided that I was need here. Besides, I like teaching."
"That and you took a fancy in a certain white-haired samurai." Sid chuckled.
Marie blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Sid laughed.
"Sure you don't."
They finally reached Crona's room. Sid knocked.
"Hey kid. I've got someone here to see ya."
"C-come in." Came a nervous voice in response.
The zombie pushed open the door and Marie walked in to find Crona in the usual corner.
"Oh hi Marie-sensei. Why are you here?" The pink-haired child asked.
Marie smiled.
"Hey Crona. How would you feel if you lived with me?"
Crona looked up in surprise.
"W-would you really want me?"
Marie laughed cheerfully and held out her hand.
"Of course. I signed the adoption papers a few hours ago. Now, let's go home."
Crona smiled and took the hand. The past was over and now it was time for a fresh start.
