A/N: Hello! I'm glad a few people seem to like this story, but I want to change the title. Can someone help me with the title? It really needs a different one and I suck at titles...

And sorry for the delay, I was on a vacation visiting relatives and had no internet connection!

Anyway, here's Chapter 2! ^^ I still don't own anyone XD

Chapter Warning: This chapter has some child abuse in it.

Chrona

He walked back home with his mother, glancing around nervously at any passerby.

"Lady Medusa, I-I really a-am sorry f-f-for blowing it l-l-like th-that..." Chrona stuttered out, terrified of what would happen when they reached home.

"Be silent, Chrona. We will talk when we reach home. And you will do a little time in The Room."

Chrona's face went even paler than usual, and he bowed his head. He didn't want to go to The Room, not again.

"Now tomorrow you will go all day and not hide out in the infirmary. You will have to remember to keep your mouth shut about Ragnarok. If you have to, speak to no one. And we need to get you different clothes. It was foolish of me to make you wear that dress to school, it just screams out your heritage."

Medusa opened the door to her house, pushed Chrona in angrily, stepped in, and slammed the door.

Chrona fell to his knees when he was pushed in. He felt Medusa grab him by his hair and drag him to his feet.

"You no-good excuse for a child. After everything I did for you, you disgrace me this way! It's bad enough Death nearly found out I was behind the kishin antics, and that I was a witch! It's even worse that he cleansed you of all the human souls Ragnarok devoured, stopping you from ever becoming a kishin!" Medusa's hand came down hard on top of Chrona's head, and Ragnarok stayed dormant, knowing better than to help Chrona when he was being punished. "And now I can't even dispose of you because he demands you attend school, and I have to pretend I care!"

Medusa threw Chrona to the ground.

"Vector plate," she said in a calm voice.

An arrow formed under Chrona's thin body, pointing at the wall opposite the one he was leaning against. Before he could make any sound, the arrow sent him flying at the wall. He slammed into the wall face-first, making his nose bleed. Chrona touched his nose and looked at the black blood on his finger.

Another arrow formed under him and he went flying into another wall. He could feel Medusa's snakes slithering around angrily inside of him.

Chrona felt Medusa grab his arm and yank him to his feet. He felt himself being pulled towards The Room.

"Lady Medusa, please don't put me in there, it's so dark and Ragnarok hits me."

"You deserve it, you sorry excuse for a child." As she said this, she tossed him into The Room. The door closed and Chrona was in pitch darkness.

Kid

He walked down the hallway of Shibusen, wondering just what he was going to do to the new student. He had to do something entertaining. Something entertaining but symmetrical!

He entered the Death Chamber. His father had called him for some reason Kid didn't know. He watched his father while he talked to Sid. After a few moments, Sid left and Shinigami-Sama looked at Kid.

"Well look at you! Those lines in your hair are cute as ever~"

"Father, tell me why you called me down here. I have stuff to do."

"Oh, it's nothing important Kiddo, I just wanted you to watch over Chrona for a while."

"What?" Kid couldn't believe what he was hearing. Watch over the new student? No way, that would ruin his rep!

"Well, Kiddo, according to his mother he has gone through some abuse in his past by his father. However, I never found out about anything of the such and, therefore, I never gave custody to Medusa. When I looked into it, everything I found said his father had died before he was even born. But Stein has seen proof of this abuse and experimentation and I would like you to watch over him for a while."

"Why me, Father? Could you not get Maka to watch over him? She seems to actually like the new student," Kid stated flatly.

"Because you're my son. And I know you could easily protect him from danger, which you will do."

Kid sighed in defeat. "If it is what you want, Father, then I shall do it."

"That's my boy~"

Kid went around his house, straightening everything a thousand times, muttering under his breath about what his father wanted him to do.

"Hey, Kid, you alright? You've been purposefully unstraightening then restraightening everything for the past twenty minutes," Liz stated while filing her nails.

Kid glanced at her then said, "Father wishes for me to watch over the new student. He suspects something is going on, but won't tell me what!"

Liz had stopped listening at 'watch over the new student'. "What? He expects you to watch over the new student? But we're supposed to do all sorts of mean things to him!"

"More importantly is that he wants me to protect him," Kid stated, scowling. Patti stared at him in a way that suggested she didn't understand, so Kid told them the whole conversation.

When he was through, Liz and Patti started having a fit and going around and knocking them off center. Kid immediately jumped for fragile vases and pictures and started shouting for them to stop.

The Next Day

Chrona

He was the first one in the class that morning. Maka had come in not long after he entered and plopped down beside him. Medusa didn't bother with the seal that morning because Chrona had already given their secret away, and Chrona wasn't surprised when Maka asked him about his weapon.

Chrona stared at his desk and didn't bother to try and stop Ragnarok from emerging.

Maka nearly fell out of her chair, but then she said, much to Chrona's surprise, "Awww he's so cute!"

Ragnarok's reply was, "Hey! Don't call me cute, Pigtails!"

Maka looked at Chrona, a big smile plastered on her face. "What is it?"

"It's Ragnarok... he's my blood."

Maka was silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "How is he your blood?"

"My m-my f-father melted my p-partner while he was in weapon form a-and fused him with m-my blood..."

"What is that?" Chrona, Maka, and Ragnarok all looked over and saw Kid, Liz, and Patti standing at the door. Liz looked confused, Patti looked like she was in her own world, and Kid looked like he had just entered Heaven. Kid had been the one to speak. "It's perfectly symmetrical!"

Chrona looked at Maka as Kid observed Ragnarok, who had started spitting insults the moment Kid made a comment about his symmetry, from afar.

Maka silently giggled and Chrona looked forwards only to realize Kid was right in front of him, startling him.

"What is this wonderfully-symmetrical being?" Kid asked, staring at Ragnarok.

"My blood..."

Kid looked at Chrona in surprise. "This creature is your blood?"

Chrona nodded, then a slightly-insane smile crossed his face. "My blood is black, you know..."
