Chapter Two Unwilling Compromise
"What are you doing? I don't know how to deal with this! What are do you want from me!?"
The girl ignored him and kept dragging him. She kicked open the door and and yanked him down the stairs. The cold, hard medal kept hitting Crona repeatedly. "Ow ow! My butt hurts! Please stop that. I don't know how to deal with this! Let me go!" He cried.
She rolled her golden eyes and finally reached the bottom of the stairs. She strolled down a hall and turned a corner. The room was dark and cold. Damp boxes where scattered around and dust was everywhere.
"What are we doing down here?! What do you want from me!? I can't deal with this! I just want to back to my room and sluk in my corner."
Her response was flinging him onto the cement wall. Crona screamed out in pain and he collapsed to the ground. He tried to put his weight on his elbows but was stopped by a combat boot which forced back onto the cement.
"Ow! Stop it!" He begged as her dug deeper.
"Well well. I see you haven't changed dear Crona." She said darkly. "You're still the same crybaby you were when we were children." She smiled and dug even deeper which caused him to cry out louder. Suddenly his savior came in the form of Ragnarok. He threw a punch causing her to flew across the room. She grimaced as her back slammed into the wall. Her shirt rode up revealing a snake tattoo on around her navel. Her eyes narrowed dangerously. She licked the blood off her lips, and curled them in a evil smile.
"Now now Ragnarok . That's not to treat me." She cooed.
"Crona's mine punching bag! Go off and get your on!" He shouted.
She slowly got up. An arm at her side. Pink waves hid her eyes. She then removed her arm and crossed both of them over chest.
"It's been a long time hasn't it, Crona."
He finally managed to get up on his feet. His violet eyes were filled with fear. Ragnarok watched the girl with intensely.
"W-why are you here?"
She sighed and put a hand to her forehead. "I thought you would be happy to see your big sister. Now prove to me you are the Demon Sword." She bit her hand to draw blood. It clumped together and formed a sword. She smiled once more. "Come at me."
"I-I-I."
She lunged forward. Her sword drawn.
"Ahhhhaaaaa."
The sword landed on his shoulder. The blood quickly harden causing her sword to fly back. Crona quickly got up and pulled out his arm. His violet eyes now completely black. Ragnarok on que turned in the sword.
"You know that my blood is black."
She smiled. "Yes I do."
Crona lifted up his sword. "Scream Resonance."
"Reahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Shit." She cursed. She slashed the air . "cruenta scuta caligine(bloody mist shield)." The screams hit the shield and flew back at Crona. He put his arm up to hold back the blows.
"Dammit I forgot about that. Crona look out!"
Crona felt the air get knocked out of him, and his sword crashed onto the floor. "Ra-" She put her hand around his throat and threw him agistment the wall. She squeezed tighter causing his eyes to water. She smiled and squeezed tighter.
"Sweet sweet Crona. You've have always been a weakling. For so long I had to deal with you. But.." Her golden eyes darkened. "Today's the day you die Crona. cruentum peragendam(bloody implement)'
"Colleen that's enough."
Colleen's eyes widened and her grip suddenly loosened. She pulled back which caused Crona to collapse to the floor. Ragnarok rocked nearby in his sword form. "You bitch! You're pay for that!"
"La-Lady Medusa." He said quietly.
"Now Colleen." Medusa strolled over and stopped once she reached Colleen. Her hood hiding her face. "Is that any way to treat your younger brother and my test subject."
"No mother. It is not." Colleen said between clenched teeth.
"Now Crona." Medusa walked over and kneeled down in front of him which caused him to cringe. She put a hand to his cheek and brushed back some of his hair. "I'm sorry if she caused you any trouble."
"M-M."
"Now. Now. I need you…" She traced a dark fingernail down his face and forced his chin up. Her lips curled into a twisted smile. "To do something for me."
On the day of Blackstar's funeral was a quiet affair. All of Blackstars friends and few other academy students attended.
The pastor said a few words and prayed that Blackstar's soul will find peace. His friends all gave their eulogies, and said their final goodbyes to their dear friend. The only sound was that of Tsubaki's sobbing. Maka tried everything to console her but to no avail even though tears were also spilling down her cheeks. Kid, Liz, and Patty watched in silence at the coffin. Soul stood hands in his hands in his pockets as he quietly reminisced over his friend.
Rain started to go down causing them all to get wet. Justin Law the youngest Death Scythe ordered for the coffin to go down. The coffin slowly descended down which caused Tsubaki to sob louder. Maka put an arm around the her shoulders and pulled her close.
"It's okay Tsubaki. He's in a better place now." She said quietly.
Justin yelled and the gravediggers stabbed their shovels in. Grabbing a handful of dirt and spilling onto the coffin. Tsubaki's head shot up, and her body began to shake.
"NO! BLACKSTAR!" She pushed Maka out of the way and lunged herself at the coffin. Several of the staff went after her but she managed to slip from her grasp. Sid put his buff arms around her thin waist and pulled her back. She thrashed around crying, screaming, and begging to them to let her go. "Please! Please let me see him!" She begged, and reached an arm out towards the diggers and the hole where he laid. "Please...let me see his face one last time." As she finished the sentence more tears spilled down her cheeks.
Oh Tsubaki. I don't know what I would do if I lost Soul. Maka thought to herself. She clenched her fists and forced her head down.
Justin put a hand up to stop the diggers.
"Let her see him."
One of the diggers sighed and jumped down. He brushed the dirt off and lifted up the lid. Tsubaki put her hands to her mouth and tears spilled onto her them. She sprinted over to see her beloved friend and partner one last time.
"Blackstar….." Her voice trailed off.
Then there was a scream. Maka's head shot up. Tsubaki! She sprinted to towards her as Tsubaki collapsed onto the ground.
"Maka!" Soul ran after her.
"Tsubaki! What's wrong!?" Liz asked.
Death and Patty caught up and gathered around their friend. Liz grabbed Tsubaki before she could throw herself down the hole. Maka stared down, and gasped because the coffin was…
empty.
Medusa sat quietly in her office. Her white lab coat tossed aside on a one of the beds. She leaned her cheek against her hand and stared down at the autopsy report. Even though the procedure only took a few minutes there were some questions she still wanted to have answered.
I hope Corna did his part. Those marks really caught my eye. I know of only one man who could do such a thing. Such a beautiful thing to someone's body. She grabbed her coffee mug and took a sip. The one question that weighed on her mind. Where was he? It was so obvious who killed Blackstar Why hasn't Death done anything but announced his death.
She mentally sighed and put her mug down, and grabbed the file and started to scan through it's pages. It is so obvious. So obvious. Yet nothing has really been done about it? Wait!
Then it hit her.
She grinned at the sudden realization. So Lord Death is keeping it a secret. How interesting. So that means… She frowned. Death must be having the opportunity done in secret, and the Death Scythes have already arrived, and should be deported soon. This is going to be quite a problem.
She grabbed her mug and took another sip. The coffee leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. She continued to ponder on what she was going to do.
Suddenly the door flew open disrupting her thoughts. She glanced over to see Colleen who was standing there her hands on her hips. She wore a dark shirt that hung on her, and left her navel exposed.
Several silver bracelets with arrow charms clung to her wrists. Her dark pleated skirt ran down her hips and stopped mid thigh and showed off her black and white striped stockings, and dark combat boots.
She crossed her arms over her chest. Her bubblegum hair hid her golden eyes.+
Medusa looked away and took another sip. "Colleen."
"It's been done."
"Excellent." She put the mug down. "Tell Crona he has done well, and that we can continue with our plans." She stood up
"What do you want me to do?" Colleen demanded.
She strolled over and placed her hands on her child's shoulders. Both of their eyes meet.
She wears her first.
First child.
First experiment.
First failure.
She leaned into her ear. "I want you to get close to Soul. Obtain as much information on the black blood as you possibly can. Do whatever it means necessary to get it." She pulled away, and her eyes narrowed. "You've got the goods now use em."
Colleen forced her head down. "Yes mother, it will be done." She forced her head back up. "I promise I won't fail you!" She then spun on her heel and left the room.
Medusa stood with her arms crossed. Quietly watching as her first born child left the room.
Do not fail me Colleen.
Today was a long day for Soul. It was also a very uncool one. His best friend is dead. His eyes widened. The sudden realization hit him like a ton of bricks. HIs friend was...gone. No more will he witness Blackstar's grand entrances. No more hearing the huge claims of surpassing God. No high fives between them or fighting together. No more.
No more Blackstar.
All of that was over. He clenched his teeth and threw open the door and slammed it shut. He leaned against the door. He stared up at the ceiling as if it held all the answers. This isn't cool! This should have never happened to Blackstar! Losing….Losing your best friend is not cool. He closed his eyes as tears quietly spilled down his cheeks. Thankful for the solitude that the darkness provided for him. He recently opened his eyes. Right now he wanted nothing more than to go to bed and sleep like the dead.
He slowly walked towards his bedroom door. He opened it to reveal the pink haired girl sitting on the foot of his bed.
His jaw dropped. There was a girl in his room. He didn't know count Maka and Blair because he lived with them long enough. He and Maka were only friends and was his weapon parenter. While Blair was just an annoying sexy cat. But this girl. Something about her seemed so…
Familiar.
He crossed his arms over his chest.
"What are you doing here?"
She put a finger up to her lips. "I just wanted to see if you were okay."
"Why do you even care. I don't even know your goddamn name!"
She jumped of the bed and walked towards him. He noticed that her stomach was exposed and there was a tattoo over her navel, but he couldn't make it out because of the dark. She placed her hands onto his chest. She could feel sudden change in his soul wavelength, and his heart rapidly beat agistment his shirt. She lifted her chin up to face him. His eyes went wide.
Gold meet Crimson.
She slowly leaned into his ear. "My name is none of your concern."
Before he could protest he felt the soft press of lips. She pressed herself even closer forcing him to feel her soft curves.
Soul meanwhile was in a complete haze. He didn't know what to do? He was still in the process of figuring out how she got into his room. But slowly those panicked thoughts started to fade away. As his mind became flooded in ecstasy. There is something about this girl...I mean she definitely has a nice body, and their is her soul…. would taste delicious.
His mouth started to water at the thought.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She opened her mouth causing their tongues to meet. He lifted her up and threw her onto the bed. He crawled on top of her and their mouths meet once more. As they were kissing Colleen threw off his suit jacket and began to unbutton his shirt revealing the large scar that ran across his chest.
She bit her lower lip. So..this was my brother's doing. She ran the tip of her fingernail across it causing shivers to ran down Soul's spine. "How did you get this?" She asked quietly. Completely captivated by not only the scar but his muscles as well.
He flashed her a toothy grin. "Got it from protecting my parenter."
"Oh." She put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. "Well you tell me some more."
"I don't really want to talk about it." He placed his hand beneath her head. His fingers becoming entangled in her pink waves. He lifted her head up close so their foreheads meet. "So where were we."
His lips slammed into her causing her to gasp. Her mouth opened and their tongues did another wet dance. Soul traced his free hand down her stomach, and started stroking it. He tore his mouth away and forced her further onto the bed. She craned her neck up as soppily kisses ran down her face. Then he lifted her shirt up and threw on the floor. Blood rushed to her face as her chest was left exposed. He traced his lips down as he groped, stroked, and pressed her flesh. His mouth engulfed her nipple taking her to new heights. Her moans bouncing off of the walls.
She could feel herself leaking. Soul stopped stroking and began tracing his hand and lifting up her skirt. She blushed even harder as his mouth once again meet hers. He slowly slipped off her panties. As the fabric slid down her legs Colleen watched his face. His crimson eyes were much darker and his face was calm. Usually when she was forced to do such things she would close her eyes and drift somewhere far away, but this boy...he was neither human nor demon. His touches neither too rough or too soft. He was even careful with is razor sharp teeth. so they wouldn't cut her. This boy…
Made her feel human.
Colleen grabbed the hem of his boxers and pulled, and the fabric crushed to the floor. She glanced up and noticed her stockings were still on. She took one and started to pull, but a hand gently pulled it away.
"Is something wrong?" She whispered.
Soul took her hand up to his cheek. "Please don't take them off."
She blushed some more. "You mean my stockings."
"Yeah." He pulled her hand out and kissed the back of it. "I think striped stockings are cool."
She pulled him in. She didn't give a damn about Medusa's orders. This was the first time that she had to do this that it actually felt right, and she was not going to have it end.
Thier tongues connected once more. His hand laid on her crotch feeling her warm leaking heat. He yanked his mouth away and traced his tongue down her neck and shoulder. She shivered., and screamed out in arousal when he bit down. Sharp razors dug into her flesh. Then he pulled away allowing blood to surface. He grinned in satisfaction and leaned down and started to lick it clean. Then his lips slammed back into her mouth.
She could taste her own blood. It was like liquid metal inside her mouth. More blood rushed to her already flaming face as one of his fingers suddenly entered her. He kept pondered as she moaned and panted. She could feel the hardness beneath her hand. He bit his lower lip when she softly squeezed. He took his finger out and grabbed a fistful of her hair and flew her head back, and crawled on top of her. Then he leaned down and kissed her softly and then moved down to her neck.
She could feel the tip and it sent a sudden wave of electricity throughout her entire body.
His mouth went back up to hers, and they kissed some more. His hand cupped her breast. Having his hardness so close to her made her want to scream.
The boy must have a lot self-control.
He stopped kissing her and cupped her face. "You ready for this it might hurt a little."
It started to enter. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back. So this is how it feels. Show me. Show me Boy that this can be a pleasurable experience. The cover of night was their only cover. The only thing that was keeping their sin hidden.
But then the lights flipped on.
The flash of light was like a bucket of ice water. Soul turned his attention over to the source and the girl that laid beneath him. Standing there in the doorway was...Maka and Blair. Maka's eyes went wide while Blair's jaw dropped.
Soul jumped off the bed and scrambled to find his pants. Meanwhile Collen sat up and pulled the covers over her chest, but left her legs and apart of her ass exposed.
Maka spun around and stormed out.
"MAKA WAIT!" Soul shouted as he finished buckling his belt , and sprinted off after her.
Blair watched as the strange girl that Soul was about to fuck, threw off the blanket and started to get dressed. She finished lacing up her boots and opened the window. She crouched low and climbed onto the window's rim. She glanced back her face completely stoic, and all the blood that had rushed to face was long gone. "You have a nice home."
Then she went off into the night.
"Maka! Maka! MAKA!" Soul yelled as he struggled to keep off the sprinting girl.
Damndamndamndamndamn. Damn! He felt like he had been chasing after her for hours all across Death City. His legs felt like led and he couldn't seem to get them to move properly. His heart pounded in his chest. What the hell did I just do? He felt like he just been shoken up from a dream, and it was becoming a nightmare. But his efforts were finally paying off when he managed to grab her arm.
"Maka! Look at me!" He spun her around.
Her hair was loose, her nose was bright red, anger and betrayal filled her eyes.
Maka…..
Soul tightened his grip. "Ma-"
She yanked her arm away. " Don't. Just please just don't." Your friend was buried less than 24 hours ago. Not to mention that his body his body is missing, one of your other friends tried to commit suicide, Tsubaki is in shambles. And you!" She pointed a finger into his chest. "Have the nerve to run off when your friends needed you to fuck some stranger!"
"Maka it was j-"
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! Not only did you betray your best friend, but you also betrayed me!" She clenched her fists. "Urgh! I can't even look at you right now!"
"Maka, nothing happened!"
"Yes there was! Once you have sex your souls become intertwined, and ounce that happens it is very hard to untangle. Why do you think their are such things as bad breakups."
"I...I really don't know what happened. I was about to kick her out...but then..then…" His voice trailed off.
"Yeah! Well it doesn't matter! Find somewhere else to sleep tonight!"
And with that she stormed off. Soul stood there wrapping his head around what just happened. And all he really wanted to do was go to bed.
But then the girl….He...felt...like…
He was….being….controlled.
The first thing Kid noticed was a bright light. It took a few moments for his eyes to adjust.
Where am I?
"In the dispensary." Went a voice.
"Patty?" He grimaced at the sudden throbbing in his head.
Patty rushed over. "Kid, take it easy. You're still suffering a concussion."
"Wait! What happened?"
"You passed out after you saw Blackstar's coffin. Why was that?" She asked.
"No it was because one of the skulls that was curved in was a little off to the left."
"Oh well SORRY! MY FRIEND SUFFERED A HORRIBLE, BRUTAL, ASYMMETRICAL DEATH AND THE CHERRY ON TOP WAS TO RUIN HIS COFFIN! HADN'T HE SUFFERED ENOUGH!?" Kid finished his rant and put a hand to his throbbing head.
Patty sat at his bedside. She brushed some of her hair behind her ear. Her face seemed to have matured in the past few days. She immently started to shake, but then a pale slid over hers.
"Kid…." She stammered. "I'm sorry about what happened the other day. I just...just… wasn't thinking. That day I wasn't me."
Tears splashed onto his hand. His eyes softened. How long have you been like this Patty?
"Patty."
Thier fingers laced together causing her eyes to go wide.
He squeezed as he stared into her eyes. "Patty, I'm going to keep my promise. Blackstar's death will not be in vain."
She squeezed back and smiled. "Thank you, Kid."
He smiled back. "If you need anything Patty. You can always come to me."
Then the door opened and Medusa walked in. She smiled over at the now awake Kid and Patty.
"It's a relief to see that you're finally awake."
She grinned at them and strolled over. Pulling out a flashlight and pointed it into Kid's eyes. "So how do you feel?"
"Better."
She pulled the flashlight back and flashed him another smile. "Well that's a relief." She straightened herself. "You can leave now, but please take it easy."
"That's not a problem." He threw off his covers and got up. He grabbed his jacket and threw it on. As he was buttoning up Patty spoke.
"So have they found Blackstar's body yet?"
Kid's blood froze. He spun his head around. "What!?"
"Oh you haven't heard have you." Medusa leaned herself agistment her desk. " Well apparently someone stole his body."
"WHAT! Who would do that? What does this mean? What would the person want with his body?"
"I don't know." She sighed. " I wish I did. Blackstar deserves to rest in peace."
"I can't believe this! Wait! Medusa do you think it the person who kidnapped his body might be the murderer?"
"Kid I-"
Kid felt a sudden tug. He glanced over at Patty. He sighed. "It's fine. Probably nothing. Sorry Dr Medusa I didn't mean to scare you. Come on Patty. Liz is probably waiting for us at home."
She nodded and then they left.
Back at her lab, Medusa sighed as she closed her eyes. She was completely lost. She had been examining Blackstar's body for hours. She repeated the test over and over, and still got the same results. She put a hand up to her head. This is strange. How can this even be possible? How can his blood be….
Black.
