(2) The Dark Shadowed Love
The Dark Shadowed Love - Is This How The First Day At School Is Supposed To Be Like?
"Well, here we are." Kid announced, opening the door for Chrona that led into the bright corridors of the actual school. "Tell me what you think."
"I-I-I don't th-th-think I know how to handle s-s-so many people under one roof..." Chrona whimpered, still behind the door that led to dorms underneath.
"It's not so bad once you find something you like about it." Kid smiled, welcoming. "Come on out, there's nothing to be scared of. We could go see if we could find the others. Maybe seeing them could make this less frightening for you."
Chrona walked out slowly and nervously; observing her surroundings. People stared and began whispering as Chrona entered. The atmosphere from the stairs that she followed and the hallways of the actual school felt different than she had expected. Nobody looked at her as she walked up the stairs and she didn't want to be looked at while walking through the school. Chrona stood anxiously and grabbed her left arm with her right; Kid closed the door behind her. They stood in a different passageway- this one had students relaxing against the walls.
"Ready?" Kid asked, prepared to lead the way to her classroom. She nodded. "This way." Kid pointed behind her and began walking in the same direction he pointed. Chrona followed directly behind him, keeping her head low.
"Is that, that witch's daughter?"
Kid's eye twitched, not enough so people could see, just enough so he could feel it happening. Kid hadn't even taken her out of one hallway and students were already talking about her.
"What is she doing here?"
"Why is Kid with her?"
Chrona looked down more, her hair falling in front of her eyes. She wanted to grab onto Kid's jacket so she could feel his presence but, she didn't. If she had she was afraid Kid would reject her or the students would have begun making rude remarks to Kid about Chrona. She looked up to see he was ignoring the questions others loudly whispered. Just...keep following him, Chrona thought. If he can ignore them so can you. She lowered her head with her hair falling in front of her eyes once more. She looked only at Kid's shoes so she could follow his footsteps.
"Kid, get away from that half-witch. You'll go insane like how she did..."
Kid's eyes widened- he stopped in his tracks. Chrona had noticed at the last second and crashed into his back. Kid's body is a lot stronger than Chrona's so only Chrona had fallen to the ground; Kid only stood, not moving from his position. He clenched his fists and lowered his head, keeping his eyes covered by his hair, "You are all so ignorant." Chrona lifted her head and looked up at the back of Kid's head. She lay on the floor, her arms supporting her body to sit up. Not knowing what to do, she looked around and noticed that everyone that was whispering and everyone nearby had stopped. They stopped whispering, talking, moving, and maybe even breathing. She couldn't really tell.
"Does it really matter to you if she's a half-witch or not? Besides, it was her own mother that had done all that nonsense, not Chrona." Kid growled, and lifted his head, "That doesn't mean she will turn out like that! Why does it matter to the rest of you?!" At this point Kid had turned around and looked at everyone dead in the eye, "You all haven't even spoken to or even been around Chrona! She's more innocent than a fly! She couldn't hurt any of us if she wanted to! Also, Chrona isn't insane! She was filled with the madness from the black blood inside of her!"
Ragnarok popped out of Chrona's back and shook his tiny fist in the air, "Yeah so shut the hell up, you freaks!"
"What the hell is that?!" A male student yelled. Pointing at Ragnarok, with a small amount of fear and confusion.
"Aw, it looks kind of cute." A female student said, walking closer to Chrona.
Ragnarok twitched, Did she just call me "cute"?! He began reaching for the girl who was about fifteen feet away from him, "I am not cute, you retarded female! I'm much stronger than you and I could prove it! Come at me, you filthy human!"
Chrona sighed, "S-Stop p-p-picking fights, R-R-Ragnarok."
"Seriously," The male student responded, "What the hell is that thing? Why and how is it coming out of the chick's back?"
Chick? Kid thought, almost wanting to punch him, You don't call a female a "chick", a chick is a small baby duck!
"Oh, come on, Chrona!" Ragnarok said, moving his small hands around on top of Chrona's head. "It'll be good for you! I don't even remember the last time you fought with someone. Besides, I'm growing weak and it's all your fault."
"Th-Th-There's other w-w-ways to s-s-strengthen yourself..." Chrona replied to him.
"Um..." The male student whispered.
"Oh, yeah, that's right, you asked. I'm Chrona's blood; I'm also Chrona's weapon. You mess with Chrona, you mess with me!" Ragnarok said, glaring at the male.
"Well," Kid butted in, "We must be on are way, we've spent too much time here. Maka will kill me if you're late to your first day in class."
Chrona looked at Kid, "M-Maka?"
He smiled and nodded. She smiled weakly in response. "Now how about I help you off that floor?" Kid let out his hand to help her off the floor. Chrona and Kid hadn't noticed but, Ragnarok was yelling and arguing with the students behind them.
Chrona looked around on the floor, "Oh."
Kid's hand retreated, "What's wrong?"
"Um..." She whispered, "W-W-Well I forgot I was on the floor, ha-ha..."
He laughed lightly, his right hand held his chin. His left arm underneath, supporting his right.
Chrona's face turned a soft shade of red, Th-That feeling...It's back. What is this?! I feel like I'm falling; I like it but, I don't at the same time. She groaned in her head, I-I-I-I don't think I can deal with feeling...!
"Chrona..."
She jumped up lightly then looked up at Kid, he was still laughing a bit, "Y-Y-Yes?"
"You're so innocent." Kid smiled. Her heart fluttered and she could feel her face turn a darker shade of red.
"What the hell are you two waiting for?! Let's go!" Ragnarok pouted on Chrona's head.
All of the students that were arguing with Ragnarok, were walking away in the opposite direction. Kid jumped and frantically looked at the clock on the wall, "Damn it, we only have twenty minutes to get to class. Maka's going to kill me..." He let out his hand again to help Chrona up, this time he was hoping she wouldn't reject his offer.
She grabbed his hand and felt his strength pull her up. His hands still held onto her's after she stood. "Um...K-K-Kid...?"
"Yes?" Kid asked, his mind in another world.
Chrona's face had lost the blush a couple seconds after Ragnarok has spoken. Now when she had to mention about her hand still being held by Kid, she could feel her face turn warm once again. "Um...C-C-C-Can I...?" She mumbled. Not being able to get the words out, Chrona just looked at their hands then at Kid. He tilted his head in confusion, still not getting the message.
Ragnarok sighed angrily, "Just let go of her hand, moron! Now you just wasted five minutes because of your stupid cluelessness!"
Kid jumped and freed Chrona's hand from his grasp, "S-Sorry, C-Chrona..." Stupid, how did I not notice?!
"It-It-It's okay." She replied, "D-D-Don't we have to go." Kid nodded, and began leading Chrona to the direction of the classroom.
"Why are you late?!" Maka growled, bouncing her book on the palm of her hand. Soul sighed, standing next to her with his hands in his jean's pockets. He already got used Maka, unlike other people...well, he almost got used to her.
"We are not late; we still have eight minutes until class has begun." Kid explained. He stood in between the door with Maka and Soul standing directly in front of him. Kid had a small feeling that he was going to get Maka chopped.
"Where's Chrona?" Maka asked, impatiently.
"H-Here, M-Maka."
Maka's mood changed almost immediately, "Chrona, come on. Come inside, class is about start! You could sit next to me." Maka pushed Kid out of the way and went outside into the hallway. "Chrona? Chrona, where are you?"
"R-Right here..."
Maka blinked and looked down to the floor. Chrona was sitting with her feet to her chest on the floor next where Kid had stood. "What are you doing on the floor, Chrona?"
"W-W-Well I didn't know what to do. The s-second K-K-Kid stepped inside you started questioning him and yelling and-and-and I don't know how to deal with being yelled at." Chrona whimpered.
"Aw, don't worry Chrona, I would never yell at you for something that small." Maka smiled, letting out a hand to help her up.
Soul popped out from inside the classroom, "So if she screws up she doesn't get hit, but if I screw up I get him with a damn book?!"
"Maka chop!"
Soul unconsciously fell to ground, his head dented and blood falling from his skull.
Maka turned to the shy pink-headed girl on the floor, "Excuse that little...interruption, Chrona. Sometimes people, like Soul, need to be put back in their place."
Chrona stared fearfully at Soul's unconscious body. S-S-Soul? A-A-Are you okay? P-P-Please get up... She looked at Maka nervously with a small sense of fear, "W-W-Will he be o-o-okay?"
Maka laughed, "He's already used to it."
Soul jumped up and stood behind Maka, "I'm not used to it! Don't you think you should quit that?! It really pisses me off!"
Kid stood by the doorway of the classroom, "How about you finish your business inside the classroom?" Maka, Soul, and Chrona turned their attention to Kid. "Or," He shrugged, heading towards Chrona. "You could stay out here and settle it out here. I'll just have to take Chrona inside so she won't be caught up in the trouble."
Maka jumped up to her feet, "Professor Stein!" She tugged at Chrona's arm, "If we're not inside when he gets here he's threatened to dissect us!"
Chrona cooperated with Maka's strength, "D-D-Dissect?!"
Maka nodded and walked Chrona into the classroom, forgetting all about Kid and Soul.
Kid sighed angrily, "Ignorant little-."
"Whoa, what was that?" Soul laughed, "What were you about to call my meister?"
Kid began walking into the classroom, "Nothing. Nothing at all."
"Yeah, yeah." Soul responded, following Kid, "I'll get back to you on that one."
Oh good, Kid thought, as he let the door to the room slowly close behind him. I can still sit next to Chrona. Maka had chosen the spot beside Chrona; Soul had already gone inside the classroom and began making his way to sit next to Maka. Wait a second, He thought, heading for the other available seat beside Chrona. Where are Liz and Patty!?
"Chrona!"
"Patty, wait!"
"What?" Patty asked, clinging to Chrona.
"Get off of her; you're going to frighten her." Kid sighed, almost losing his temper.
"But, but, but, she's so cute!" Patty disagreed, "And I'm not scaring her. Right Chrona?"
Chrona shook nervously with fear. "I-I-I-I-I-."
"See?" Patty giggled, as she rubbed her cheek against Chrona's.
"Patty don't you think you should st-?"
"Get off of her, you little blonde piece of meat!"
Patty blinked confused, "Huh?"
Ragnarok popped out Chrona's back, "You heard me! Off, twerp!" His little hands pushing Patty away.
Maka readied her book; she knew if Ragnarok came out then she also knew he would hurt poor Chrona.
Liz approached Patty, "Come on, get off. You're going to frighten her and she just started class today." Chrona continued to shake in fear.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, Sis." And with that, Patty released the frightened pink-head.
"Finally!" Ragnarok growled, relaxing his little paws on Chrona's head.
Kid sighed; walking up towards the commotion Ragnarok and Patty had created. Soul didn't have any part to do in the conversation so just watched with no interest. Once Kid reached up to the aisle Chrona sat in, he gently pushed Patty and Liz to the side and sat beside Chrona.
"H-H-Hi...K-K-Kid..."
He smiled and looked kindly at Chrona, "Hello, Chrona. Please, excuse the fear Patty put you through. She gets like that at some moments."
"I-I-It's okay," She replied. "I just didn't know what was going on; I-I didn't know how to deal with it."
"Hi to you too, Three Stripes!"
Kid lifted up his head and looked at Ragnarok, "Please don't call me that."
"What? Three Stripes?" Ragnarok asked.
"Yes. It's horrible topic that I wish I could forget about right now." Kid sighed, looking back down.
Patty sat next Kid and pulled her older sister down to the seat available next to her.
"Whatever, Three Stripes."
Kid twitched, What did I just say?!
Maka leaned forward to look at Kid, "Why are you sitting next to Chrona? Usually you sit in the front, not the middle."
"Well we wouldn't want Chrona to be with just a few of her friends, right?" He tried to think of an excusable answer, "If it's her first day then we should all sit beside her."
Maka shrugged and leaned back into her chair, "True point."
Almost got caught. Kid thought, as he leaned back into his chair as well.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, Professor." the students, except for Chrona, responded. A man with short silver hair pulled into the classroom in a rolling desk chair. Chrona remembered him; he was the one who had interrupted the battle between her and Maka. Now that she thought about it, she's quite delighted that Professor Stein had interrupted. If Chrona had killed Maka in the church, Chrona would not be in this classroom right now. Everyone would despise her.
Professor Stein rolled up to his desk and lifted up a clipboard, "Ah, Chrona, welcome. You're starting your first day." He began turning his screw. "How about we give you a warm welcome, come down." Chrona whimpered lightly, almost inaudible. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't deal with the fact that the entire classroom of students was staring right at her. Stein continued turning his screw, "Don't worry," He showed two of his fingers in the form of scissors and began to imagine cutting them, "I'm only going to dissect you."
Maka and Kid grabbed onto Chrona's arm, "No!"
Stein looked up at Maka and Kid, "What?"
"Professor, you shouldn't be saying things like that. Chrona will get terrified!" Maka answered.
"I've wanted to dissect Chrona ever since I saw what the black blood can do." Stein said, still turning his screw.
"Quit dreaming, screw head! You're not going near Chrona with a pair of scissors or a scalpel or whatever the hell you use!" Ragnarok yelled.
Chrona blinked, nervously and confused like always. Just this time, she didn't know whether she should be scared or, she should laugh at the comment like it was a joke.
"Leave Chrona alone," Kid said, releasing Chrona's arm. "She doesn't need to be terrified on her first day of class."
Stein smiled, putting down his hand and letting go of his screw. "You've got supporting friends, Chrona. Good for you."
"Hey, I helped!" Ragnarok whined, wanting a compliment.
"Oh shut it, Ragnarok." Maka laughed.
"Don't tell me what to do, flat-chest!" He yelled.
"Flat-chest?!" Maka yelled.
Soul laughed, "That's hilarious! You're getting name-called by blood! Ha-ha!"
"Maka chop!"
Again, Soul got hit on the head with the book. His head and torso landed on his desk.
"Kid and Chrona are wanted in Lord Death's room."
Stein looked at the door to see Nygus standing in the doorway. "Good morning, Nygus."
"Good morning." She responded, "I've come to tell you that Lord Death has requested for Kid and Chrona."
"Kid! Chrona!" Stein yelled.
Ragnarok was pulling on Maka's pigtails, Maka tried freeing her hair from his grip, Chrona whimpered apologies, Kid tried to calm her down and pull Ragnarok away, Soul was still unconscious, Patty was coloring, and Liz was looking at her hair. Every other student began holding their own conversations. Nobody seemed to be paying any attention to who stood in the doorway and who had Stein called.
"Kid! Chrona!" He repeated. He got no response. "Give me a second." Stein said to Nygus.
"What are you going to do?" She asked, curiously.
"You'll see." Stein pulled out one of his scalpels and threw them near Ragnarok's face. Everyone froze. "Good, now that I have your attention." He sighed.
Ragnarok released Maka's pigtails roughly and leaned forward angrily, "You did that to get my attention?!" Stein nodded. Ragnarok put his hands together, "I'm going to kill you one of these days. You stupid, little, piece of-!"
"Lord Death is still waiting to see Kid and Chrona in his room." Nygus interrupted.
"Why Kid and Chrona?" Liz and Maka asked.
"Hell if I know." Nygus responded, leaving the room.
Kid walked out of the aisle and began walking down the stairs to the door. Chrona didn't leave her seat. When Kid had reached the door to leave he noticed that Chrona wasn't behind him.
"Come on down, Chrona." Stein said, "I promise I won't hurt you."
Chrona didn't move from her chair. She was a bit frightened now from the comment Stein had told her earlier. Maka put a hand Chrona's shoulder, "Go, Chrona. If he does anything I'll be sure to hurt him."
Chrona nodded in response and began following the direction Kid had gone. Kid stood by the doorway, waiting for Chrona. Stein began taking out his "dissecting tools" and putting them on the desk in front of him. Chrona nervously shook as she walked down-the entire class was quiet and everyone's was probably directly on her. When she thought it had been forever, she finally reached the bottom and stood about five feet away from Kid. He opened the door and walked out with Chrona following.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." Stein jumped, his hand stretched out to try to stop Kid and Chrona from leaving. His wish was granted; they both stopped and looked at Stein to hear what he had to say. "Do any of you know where Black Star and Tsubaki are?"
Black Star? Tsubaki? Chrona thought, Oh, he's the boy with blue hair and Tsubaki is his weapon. I remember them.
I forgot all about those two. I was wondering why it was so quite in here. Kid thought.
Soul lifted his head weakly, "They're on a mission. They should be back soon." He put his head back down and mumbled, "If Black Star doesn't screw it up this time."
"Alright." Stein said. He grabbed his clipboard and scribbled something down. "Kid, Chrona, you could go now." Kid nodded and proceeded to his Father's room. Chrona followed, she held onto her left arm and stayed about six feet behind Kid. Stein rolled his chair to the door and closed it, "Now. Today's lesson will be dissection." Maka raised her hand. He pointed to Maka, "Yes?"
She lowered her hand, "We're always dissecting, and don't you think we should learn something about weapons or strategies to help us improve?"
Stein smiled, "Alright. Just keep one thing in mind, you'll regret it."
Chrona and Kid walked in a silence that sent chills throughout Chrona's spine. "Quit shaking!" Ragnarok complained, hitting Chrona on the head.
Kid turned and stopped, "Why are you shaking?"
Chrona stopped as well and looked around for a distraction, "I-I-I-I don't kn-know..." She replied.
"When is she not shaking?" Ragnarok asked.
"Is it because you're afraid of what my Father called us for?" Kid asked. His voice sounded so kind, so...friendly. Chrona liked it when he spoke to her, the only problem was, she just doesn't know what to say to him. She nodded; she really didn't know why Lord Death called Chrona and Kid. Why couldn't she just go alone? Well, then again, if Kid is with her she could hope that Kid will help her think of an answer if she doesn't know one.
Kid opened the door to his Father's room. Chrona had never been in the Grim Reaper's room before so she began to become terrified and nervous. "Don't worry, Chrona." Kid assured her, "If you don't know what to say I'll speak for you."
She looked away and nodded. She couldn't speak; she could feel herself relax, though. Kid opened the door and gestured Chrona to go in before him. Chrona felt the nervous chills return as she walked further and began to think of the countless things that could lie ahead. Kid closed the door and jogged up to Chrona's speed.
"I told you, don't worry." He stood beside her and smiled kindly, "My father won't hurt you."
She looked at his smile and her face turned a soft shade of pink. He couldn't really notice the soft blush since it matched the same color of her hair.
"Oh, hello, hello, hello~!"
Kid and Chrona looked ahead and saw Lord Death and the zombie instructor, Sid, standing in front of a mirror. Below them laid a small coffee table for four, small pillows so they could sit, and a tea set so they could have something to drink while they talked. When Chrona's eyes lay on Sid, she wanted to run back to her corner. Yet, she didn't. She didn't want Kid, Sid, or Lord Death to worry. And, about Sid, it's not his personality that scared her...it was the fact that he was just so blue.
Kid and Chrona walked up to the two elders and bowed respectively. "Please do not keep us long- we are in the middle of class." Kid stated.
"Yes, yes, yes, I know~." Lord Death replied, "I do run this school, Kiddo~."
Kid mentally groaned; he felt embarrassed by his Father's behavior in front of Chrona. Liz and Patty had already gotten used to his behavior. Lord Death could be very immature at points but, he could also be very wrathful if he was angry enough. Chrona and Kid removed their shoes and sat down in front of the coffee table. So Chrona wouldn't feel nervous, Kid took his spot beside Chrona and across from Sid and his father. "So, what did you call us down for?" Kid asked, "More importantly, what business did you wish to discuss that involved Chrona?" The Grim Reaper and Sid took a sip of their tea, while Chrona and Kid hadn't even touched theirs.
"How about we let Chrona speak for a change," Sid managed to say, after taking a sip of tea. "She never speaks when people go down to her room. So, let's see what she has to say."
"Uh, well, wh-wh-what are we talking about..." She stuttered, "I-I-I-I forgot...I'm sorry..."
She's so adorable when she's clueless. Kid thought; smiling on the inside.
"Don't worry, Chrona, there's no need to be sorry~." Lord Death said, "There is no topic in this conversation yet~."
"Then how about you tell us what you called us down for so we could return back to our classes." Kid groaned.
"Ah, yes~!" The Grim Reaper put his giant hands together, "We've come to discuss Chrona's past and her place in the DWMA~."
"And why are you making this sound like asking about her past is a good thing?" Kid asked.
Lord Death sipped a small portion of his tea, "It might or might not be. We just have to see if Medusa still might have other witches keeping an eye on Chrona."
Chrona and Sid had no part in this Father-to-Son conversation. "It's been almost two months now-don't you think they would have made their move already?" Kid inquired.
"Witches are smart, patient and slick." Lord Death responded, "They could make their move anytime they think is right. They'll wait years if they have to."
Kid could see from the corner of his eye that Sid had whispered to Chrona that she was allowed to drink the tea that sat in front of her. She nervously took small amount of sips. Chrona enjoyed it; Kid could see her weak, small smiles of enjoyment after each sip. Again, he could feel himself smile on the inside. He looked at his Father with of defeat. Lord Death answered all his questions and left him with none to think of. Lord Death took a small sip of his tea and placed the cup back on the table, "Oh, and also," Chrona and Kid both looked at the Grim Reaper with open ears to hear what he had to say.
"We're also going to listen to her past for another reason." Sid said; after being quiet throughout the entire conversation.
Kid and Chrona both tilted their heads in confusion, "What reason?"
"If there could be a witch still watching Chrona," Lord Death pointed to Kid and Chrona. "Chrona, you're moving into Kid's manor~!"
Kid and Chrona could both feel their faces turn red, "What?!"
"Chrona, you're back!" Maka happily shouted. Chrona nodded anxiously and embarrassed. "What's wrong, Chrona?" Maka asked. "You look like you haven't gotten any sleep. What happened?"
"N-N-N-N-Nothing." Chrona whispered, knowing deep down inside she was lying. "I-I-I-I-I was just told that if R-R-R-Ragnarok starves it means I-I-I'm starving t-t-twice as bad..."
"Oh, that really sucks." Maka sighed. "Especially if you don't feel like feeding him." Chrona nodded. It seemed it was the only thing she could do-she was speechless. Kid and Chrona had been with Sid and Lord Death all day. Class already ended almost an hour ago. Maka, Soul, Liz, and Patty waited for Kid and Chrona in the classroom.
Soul walked up to Kid and lifted an eyebrow, "Hey, you okay? You look like you've seen a bad horror movie."
"No...It's just that..." Kid muttered.
"It's just that...?" Soul asked. Liz and Patty soon joined in to listen to what made Kid so paralyzed.
"I've just been informed of my obsession with symmetry..." Kid lied, perfectly.
"Oh, brother." Liz sighed, disappointed.
Patty giggled, "Kid's all depressed about the symmetry now."
"You notice that now?" Soul twitched, "That's been your problem ever since we met you."
"Hey," Maka said, grabbing Chrona and walking up to Liz and Patty. "We should go and find more comfortable clothes for Chrona. This is the last day of school for the week. We could do something during the weekend too! Chrona could see the rest of the town while we're at it!"
"Yeah!" Liz agreed, "That'd be great!"
"And we could pick out weird outfits for Chrona to wear!" Patty giggled.
"Wh-Wh-What?" Chrona asked, completely confused with what was going on.
"What about Tsubaki and Black Star? What about them when they return?" Kid asked.
"Who said the guys are coming?" Maka groaned, "Tsubaki's coming with us, you two can keep Black Star. He'll just frighten poor Chrona."
Chrona looked back and forth from face to face, not sure what to really say.
"Alright!" Liz smiled, "It's official. Tomorrow it is~!"
Maka pulled on Chrona's arm, "Come on, we'll pass by your room so you could pick up your clothes and stuff you want. You could sleep over at my house tonight."
Chrona looked up with delight, "Really?"
Maka smiled, "Sure. You can sleep over whenever you want. Another person won't bug me. Besides, since it's you coming to sleep over, it really won't bother me. What about you, Soul? Is it fine with you?"
Soul smiled, "It beats being by yourself with Ragnarok all night."
Maka giggled and smiled, "Alright let's go! I want go home now so I could show you all the fun we'll have." She grabbed Chrona by the arm and began walking to the Chrona's dorm. "I'll see you at home, Soul!"
"Okay, see ya!" Soul replied. With that Maka and Chrona left the classroom, leaving just four students in the room.
"Well," Liz yawned. "I'm tired. Come on, Patty, let's get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be long."
Patty smiled and nodded, "Okay, Sis."
"See you two later." Liz waved, leaving the class.
"Alright," Soul waved back, "See ya."
"Bye, get home safely." Kid said.
Liz turned and left the classroom with her younger sister following her footsteps.
"What a weird way to say good bye." Soul joked.
"Oh, shut up." Kid groaned.
"So," Soul sighed. "What do you want to do?"
Kid shrugged and began heading for the doorway, "Go home. I need to make sure the house is perfectly symmetrical before I can get some rest."
"You really need some help." Soul said.
"So I've been told." Kid sighed, walking out to the hallway.
"Oh, really?" Soul asked, following him out of the class. "By who?"
Kid tapped his chin with the side of his right index finger, "So far the only person who has not told me that my obsession's weird is Chrona."
"Hm," Soul grinned as he put his hands in his jacket's pockets, "Give it a couple days. She'll start thinking you need help."
"Who knows," Kid smiled. He began walking the opposite direction from Soul, "Maybe she won't. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye." Soul said, doubting Kid could even hear him. He began walking his own direction to go to the apartment he shared with Maka. As he stepped outside of the school he could see the sun almost done setting, "I stayed in school for too long." He gently shoved his hands deeper into his pockets. "So not cool." Soul walked down the steps of the DWMA, Now I can go home, relax, and not worry about a thing. He tensed up and stopped walking, Wait a minute...something doesn't feel right...Oh crap! He began running as fast as he could to his apartment, "Damn it! How could I forget?! This isn't cool at all! I forgot to tell Maka that she might have to lock up that damn cat!"
So now Maka got Chrona to sleep over her house. What's going to happen when Soul goes home? You'll see. What's going to happen with the whole Chrona moving into Kid's manor? Oh ho ho, that'll be something fun to read~! Please read and review. 3rd Chapter coming out soon~!
