Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own the anime.
"Cry my sweet.
Cry like you've never done before.
The tears don't matter.
If they fall let them be."
"Don't reason out to me my dear.
If you want to shout don't cringe.
Show me your wrath.
Answer to the anger."
"The fire is brought out darling.
It can't stop.
It won't stop.
Let it flood your mind."
"Listen… do you hear that?
The deafening noise?
You don't?
Are you sure?"
"Don't start regretting.
Regret is for the weak at heart.
You are made without such a thing.
Succumb to the ignorance."
"The darkness fails the light.
Yes you see the truth.
Hush yourself.
Silence."
"Blood.
Do you not feel it?
In your hands they flood.
Nothing to be afraid of."
"Why not face me?
Why hide when you know I am real?
You can never defeat insanity.
It only defeats you…"
Crona woke up with a start from the dream as she clung to her chest. The burning pain searing her through. Two strong hands were crushing her. It was overwhelming like she couldn't breathe. Her ribs were about to give way but she still protested. Slowly yet agonizingly she stood trying so hard to ignore the weak objection of her mind and body. Her breaths were cut short as she was looking for someway to stop the distress. Inhaling was an obstacle she had to commit. Although it kills her to live she must.
Entrusting her support to the walls she tread softly across the room. The urge to vomit was present along with the urge to fight against it. Her head was fuzzy and her sight was misty. Before she knew it she had fallen so shamefully on the floor. Coughing up liquid-life so forcefully. The abrasion on her throat let the blood trickle down to her mouth.
She wanted to scream. She wanted to do so much but her time was short. The clash inside her had long since been gone as she lay on the floor lifeless. Tears streamed down her face. The self-torture her illness had caused engraved the little of hope she had left. Yet this light was flickering. Soon it would vanish forever. Along with all she had treasured the most.
Are you okay?
"..."
Answer me why don't you?
"…"
Is anything wrong?
"…"
Are you hurt?
"…"
Why are you still crying?
"…"
Don't you want to talk to me?
"…"
Hello…?
"…"
How are you going farther away?
"…"
Are you even listening?
"…"
Crona?
"…"
Three days had passed. It was a Sunday. Death the Kid was on his way to Crona's room to try and see if she was still okay. She had not tried to make any contact ever since that afternoon.
"I w-won't accept it even if I have to… I'm afraid I can't agree with you Kid-kun. You didn't need to worry about me and− and− if you feel confused with the results of the check-up I'll be willing to get them as much as I can so you could accept that nothing is happening to me. I feel fine! Y-you don't need to feel for me… I- I can fend for myself! And… and…"Crona reasoned out when Kid beckoned her to him
The pinkette uncertain by where the young shinigami in front of her was going doubtfully walked when she was pulled into a tight hug.
"Unfortunately I don't care Crona. Even though I try not to worry I can't help myself. I consider you my friend and for all my friends I have the right to worry as much as I want. That is what friends do. Didn't you worry so much about us back then that you forced yourself to go against Medusa? That's how much every friend is worth."
Holding her by her shoulders Kid turned the sword wielder so she would face him. Showing a small thoughtful smile.
'Was I too straight-forward?' he thought to himself as his feet stopped in front of her room
Looking at the metal that was her door Death the Kid felt diffident. 'This… this doesn't feel right…'
Sitting on the floor with the wall at his back the boy fell into a deep thought. Although having said what he did… Right then and there did he doubt his actions.
Reminiscing as he was he couldn't help but decide.
He stood up and ran back to town failing to see to his friend as he had originally planned. 'I'll check on her by the end of the week.'
