Chapter three: Whispers and rumors at the witches meet.
...
"so you want me to help you?" Blair said licking her paws. She and Kid were sitting in his room along with Patty and Liz. She came to him in a moment of boredom and saw him working frantically on something with the girls and came in through his window to see. Kid spotted her and his eyes lit up like Christmas lights and Blair meowed happily. At least someone was happy to see her.
She didn't know what was wrong with Maka-chan but she couldn't stick around to find out, unless she wanted a book thrown at her like Soul. Poor girl. She seemed so distraught and unhappy. Blair hoped she would cheer up soon.
"yes, your perfect for the job! Please help!" Kid begged. His father informed him that their was a witches meet soon and since said witches would detect a shinigami and his weapons in their midst the only way for him to get a clue to where the pink haired boy was located was if they had a 'witch' to go in for them.
What better kitty could scratch that itch?
"oh okay" Blair smiled and waved her tail. It's been a long time since she had any good fun any way. Kid blinked at her along with Liz, Patty just sang.
"really?"
"yes!" Blair exclaimed poofing out of her cat form and into her human. Thankfully she was fully clothed and she hugged a startled Kid to her chest.
"when do we leave?"
"(muffled) tonight."
"yay!"
"yay!" Patty and Blair squealed happily and held hands as they twirled in a circle. Liz poked Kid's head as he lay face down, white as snow, on the floor where he was dropped.
"e-eh-"
"god, you boys and tits"
…
Soul's eye twitched as he watch Maka spazz out. He failed to understand what her problem was with Kid. So what if he wanted to go after that boy, girl, whatever. He could see her fear, hell he was scared of that boy too but lord death said the boy's soul was pure, he was just messed up in the head.
Didn't she realize she was messing herself up? She nearly got herself killed fighting that Free guy. For someone as smart as her it was stupid of her to abandon her weapon to fight against someone 10 times stronger than her? To prove yourself? You can do that without getting everyone around you in danger.
Soul sighed and dodged another book thrown at his head. Why can't she just accept the way things as they were. She always had to fight something even when there's no need to. Soul got up from his spot in her door way and waved a hand at her.
"see you later Maka, I'm going to go see Black star." she growled at him and slammed her door shut.
"I didn't talk to you anyway!"
Maka flopped face down on her bed and screamed into her pillow. She couldn't believe lord death confined her to her home! She didn't need rest she needed to find that thing and defeat it before it became a kishin! Maka brushed away tears that rolled down her cheeks.
'why can't they see?' she thought unhappily. That boy was evil. She knew he was. She just wished she had the means to prove it.
Maka stayed on her bed trying to think of a way. But all she came up with was plans so full of holes they seem like Swiss cheese.
…..
Blair hummed quietly to herself as she checked her nails. This meet was so boring! She had left ahead of her new team on her information hunt. Along the way to the meet she got some good info on the boy Kid was looking for from a frog she threaten to eat.
Then the little green toad who said it's name was Eruka escorted her to the meet and pointed out to her said boy and the witch. Blair thought he was a cutie although distressed looking and by the way he clenched his jaw he probably was in pain. That irked her in a way she didn't like.
Sighing as the meet was coming to a close, Blair started to walk aimlessly around half-heartedly looking for her escort when she bumped into the boy her Kid-kun was looking for.
"s-so s-sorry, p-please forgive me!" aww he looked so scared! Blair wasn't gonna hurt the little guy!
"it's okay I wasn't paying attention." Blair tucked a strand of his pink hair behind his ear placing a unnoticeable mini pumpkin along too. Locator planted. Crona blushed and shifted nervously wringing his hands.
"Crona!" Medusa called and the boy scurried off with one last apology and ran to tend to the blonde who glared at him. Blair skillful hid her face before the snake loving woman could see it and walked off. She had completed he mission now. Time to return home for a long cat nap and bath. Maybe she could convince Soul to join her this time.
…
Medusa scowled at her
on and gripped him tight by the hair and hissed at him.
"you worthless dolt! Watch your way around here. Do. Not. Embarrass me again."
"y-yes, Medusa sama." Medusa then threw him away from her like was a dirt and stalked off with her head held high. Eruka stood a little ways behind them and her face twisted up in disgust. What a way treat someone you call your child. Shameful.
Crona rubbed his head and sighed softly when he felt a very small patch of hair gone. Well at least she didn't have scissors like the last time. Crona wondered who that witch was that bumped into him tonight. He hadn't seen her around before. She was so nice and didn't comment on his clumsiness or glare at him!
He never met a witch like that.
Crona clasped his hands in front of him and kept his head down as he trotted after his mother. It has been one week, 5 days, 22 hours, and 15 minutes since he'd seen that boy from the church and Crona hated every second. He really wanted to see those golden eyes again, even if they were looking at him in anger.
He missed that warmth of the older boy's soul. He'd been so far from the child of death for so long he couldn't even traces of it anymore. Crona just wished he was able to move freely as the others. He could try to go see him or maybe-
Medusa snapped around and gripped Crona's face, black nails biting into his pale flesh as she pulled his face towards hers. She smiled sweetly at her son and whispered.
"I feel treachery sinking into your thoughtssss…" the last of her sentence slipped into a menacing hissing manner as she looked off onto the side at Eruka who shook in fear at the look in Medusa's eyes.
"Crona dear, please walk ahead." then she released the trembling boy who ran rather quickly with the prompting of Ragnarok.
Eruka sweated comically and backed up from the scary blonde.
" you were late to the meet today Eruka, tell me why." Eruka stuttered and Medusa narrowed her eyes at the frog witch. She twirled her fingers and smiled when Eruka screamed in pain. Her snakes curled and twisted painfully inside Eruka's body making her fall to her hands and knees with a horrified scream.
Medusa walked over to the fallen witch and kicked her in the head. Eruka cried out and spat out the blood pooling in her mouth and craned her neck up to feebly plead at Medusa.
"it was n-nothing p-please…" Medusa smirked at her.
"maybe you need a little initiative to help you tell me the truth."
Eruka screamed.
Medusa smiled. Let the fun begin.
….
Blair hummed happily as she floated to Kid's home on her pumpkin. She thought right, the mission was fun. To bad she didn't get to fight but she did meet a cute boy with a cute name too!
Crona!
When he comes to join their group she is so going to take him shopping! As nice as that black robe/dress made him look she was sure she could find him something much better.
Arriving at Kid's window, Blair flipped off her pumpkin and poofed' into her cat form and landed on his window sill. Glad he left it open for her, she waltzed right in and meowed her arrival. Patty greeted her and picked her up and sat on Kid's with the kitty in her lap.
Kid nodded at the cat and Liz waved.
"I found him."
Kid's eyes widened comically. He didn't expect him to be found so soon, but nevertheless this was great news! He and his weapons looked at her eagerly for to tell her report.
" well his name is Crona , he's the son of the witch Medusa and he so sweet and very cute…" Kid tuned out her excited rambling and turned back to his plans. He had a name for his mystery boy now.
'Crona…' Kid's eyes drooped as flashes of pink hair and big blue eyes flew across his mind. Kid shook his head and turned back to the excited kitty who was going on and on about Crona's hair.
"that's great, Blair but did you manage to find out their location?"
"oh no, but I did plant one of my pumpkins behind his ear and…" with a swish of her tail she made a old looking scroll appear on Kid's desk. Kid opened it and saw a map of sorts. One side it showed Death City with a blinking red dot that said 'you are here' under it. And on other side it showed him an unfamiliar terrain with a glowing pink dot that said 'Crona is there' under it.
Blair hopped out of Patty's arms and onto Kid's shoulder. She pointed excitedly towards Crona's dot.
"I made you a map see! Pick Crona's dot! Pick it!" Kid did as the cat instructed and touched the pink dot. A mirror poofed' out and he was amazed to see Crona's face looking at him.
"Crona?" Kid asked. Blair patted his cheek wit her paw.
"it's just a still picture love." Poor guy.
Kid nodded and closed the map.
"right. Patty, Liz ready your things we're leaving tonight." then he turned his attention towards the cat making her way towards his window.
"thank you Blair." she nodded and hopped the window shout a big 'GOOD LUUUCCCKKK!' on her way down.
When Patty and Liz went his room to their own he open his closet door where his largest mirror hang and contacted his father.
After reciting Blair's findings and his plans his father nodded his aproval and wished him and his team good luck as well. Just as Kid was about leave and pack his things his father called out him.
"oh and Kid? Be patient. " Kid rose an eyebrow in question but nodded nonetheless. Death waved and ended the transmission.
Kid stood there a moment longer pondering the meaning of his father's last words before shaking his head and starting reading his things.
He had a mission to get to.
