Here's chapter three~!

ooooooooo

Maka POV

Classes go by really well. Soul has actually decided to be of good help and actually study rather than cheat. He came up with the excuse that to cheat he'd have to write it down anyway, so he might as well study properly, right?

Plus "being naked in class after being caught cheating is so uncool"!

Even Black Star claimed that "a man bigger than god can study and master any subject! To not do so would be the ways of mortal men!"

Personally I think he's only doing it because of Chrona. Since she's been growing closer to everyone, Soul and Black Star have been looking after her, seeing her as a little sister who needed to be protected. I thought it was sweet of them to do. It always put a smile on my face whenever they encouraged her to eat more food during lunch-even going back up to grab more food just to put it on her plate-, or when they would glare at any guys who stared at her ass, or how they'd pick fights with anyone who bad mouthed her.

It wasn't only them, though. Liz and Patty were always taking her shopping or buying her little accessories like necklaces or charms. Tsubaki always brought her food during the weekend (always making sure that she had more than enough so Ragnorak could eat, too).

And of course, I spent at much time as I could with her. Helping her study, inviting her over, taking her out and teaching her everything I can...

Right now we were sitting in the library studying for the exam as we have for the last week. She's been really getting the hang of it, and I've been impressed with her progress. I love watching her study and see the smile on her face when she realizes that she understands it.

But there is one bad thing to happen to have these regular study sessions. And today there he was, as he has been the last few days, sitting was too close to Chrona for my comfort.

Death the Kid.

Don't get me wrong. I like Kid perfectly fine. He's a strong meister, a wonderful friend, was honest with great taste in fashion (who do you think gives Liz and Patty tips on what to wear?), and being Lord Death's son, I might be working for him one day.

But at times like this, I wanted nothing more than to Maka-chop him repeatedly.

I knew he liked Chrona. He made it very clear, even stated it outright to her (though he didn't know I overheard it and believes I only know what Chrona told me). It still made me furious to think about it.

Flashback~...

I had been standing in the hall, not wanting get caught listening. I saw Kid lead Chrona into the other room and I couldn't help but think the worse. Seeing the way my dad behaved around women, could you blame me?

But what I heard, I wasn't expecting.

"Chrona, I apologize for doing this at such a time...I understand that parties aren't exactly your thing but...I don't think I can hold this back anymore..."

I couldn't see them, but I knew Kid was genuine. He doesn't know how to be any other way.

"Kid-kun...I don't understand. What are you talking about?" Chrona had a worried tone to her voice. Not surprising, since she was always so sweet and caring, always ready to help out her friends no matter what.

"Chrona...I care about you. I...I love seeing you smile...seeing you laugh...I love the way you light up my life and make me forget all about my obsessive tendencies..." he laughed a little nervously then, and I didn't have to look to know a blush would be growing on his face as well as Chrona's. "Chrona...I love you,"

My breath hitched and I felt a pain in my chest. I didn't understand why, but I didn't have a chance to think about it before they continued.

"Kid-kun...I don't know how to deal with something like this..."

Kid no doubt smiled at that, I'm sure. "I know. And I won't ask you to deal with it, just for my sake. Chrona, I just want you to know that I love you. Someday, I know, you'll eventually be ready to love. I want you to know that I'll be waiting for that day. No matter how long it takes,"

...End Flashback~

I can't help but think about that moment at times like this. As I see him put his arm around her and pull her a little closer and he reads a section from the book to her, I feel myself sting with what feels like jelousy. But for what? Not for Kid. I never felt anything possessive toward him, especially in a romantic sense.

For...Chrona?

I frowned as I read my book and tried to take notes in an effort to ignore the way my blood boiled, wondering why the hell Ragnorak wasn't popping out to smack the shinigami.

Why did I feel this way? And for Chrona of all people? Chrona was another woman...I shouldn't be like this! But...the thought of her with someone like Kid...even if she was happy...it made me sad. It made me sick to think that I was unable to make that nervous flush come to her face. But...why did I feel this way about her? I couldn't be in love...could I?

I don't know how long I sat there before Chrona broke me from my thoughts and said good night before heading down to her room, leaving Kid and I sitting there-Kid watching her form as she walked away before he too excused himself saying he needed to head home.

I didn't bother saying goodbye as he left. I was too lost in my own thoughts.

Gathering up my books and heading home, I wondered vaugely if I should talk to someone about this...

oooooooooo
