Holy Crap School is kicking my ass and I'm sorry it took so long. I was actually gonna finish this two nights ago cuz I had some freetime. I was gonna "multitask" While I watch this anime called Katanagatari, buuuuuut I got so into the show I forgot to finish the chapter. That one was my fault lol. But school really has been keeping me busy and it sucks and I'm getting all stressed.

So yeah idk I kinda rushed this chapter and It's not very long and no new 'questions' get asked and I'm sorry but I have next chapter to make up for this. Promise! I try to update this at least once a week so I'm very distressed it took me this long ^^;

Oh and I finally decided to start naming chapters. I just name them after a line in the chapter cuz im an uncreative peice of shit sometimes lol. Anyway's here's wonderwall...


The striped haired boy stood holding his two weapons and looked up at the strange building in front of him. It was a fairly large building, much too big to be a house, and it had an abandoned look to it. This was supposed to be Medusa's laboratory, and Kid had to agree, it seemed like a fitting place for a witch's laboratory. For miles, other large abandoned buildings were scattered across the land along with multiple decaying trees, this must have been a town at some point. It was dark, much darker than it should have been for being only 4pm, it was if the sun didn't shine here at all. Altogether an ominous mood lingered in the air here. Yes, this was the perfect place for a witch to hide out.

Kid continued to stare at the building in front of him. He was sensing some sort of presence here but couldn't tell if it belonged to the demon sword. "This building is pretty big… It should be easy to find a way in without getting notice but it'll be a challenge finding our way around the place." Kid circled around to the side of the building in hopes of finding a better place to enter than the front. Luckily he spotted a window on ground level without a glass frame. Checking his surrounding one last time, Kid slide himself onto the window's ledge then stepped down on the other side of the building. The room inside was dark and empty, and the air was filled with dust.

"Ehhh this place gives me the creeps...what If the demon sword and girl aren't even here and we risked our lives for nothing." Liz whined.

"I don't plan to stay here more than I have to, don't worry." Kid whispered. "And try to be a bit quieter, we're inside now." Kid made his way out of the empty room, finding himself in a hallway going in multiple directions.

"Where should we start? This building has one floor but its pretty long. There might even be a basement." Liz asked.

"I can sense a presence in this direction…" Kid said facing towards the back section. "It feels somewhat familiar to It must be those 2…" He began to head down the halls.

"I bet Crona and her weird sword thingie will be excited to see us! What do you think sis?" Patty said.

"Yeah Patty… I'm sure that's exactly why they ran away…" Liz responded.

"But maybe they'll be touched we came to get them! Maybe we can all get something to eat after this!"

"You don't seem to be bothered at all by the fact that they're a demon sword and swordsman." Liz smiled. "You're such an accepting person Patty! I bet you're one of those people who are able to see the good in everyone! Your sis is so proud!"

"Actually I just think they look cool cuz he pops out of her back! It makes me picture you and me sticking out of Kid's back and it makes me laugh. So I like them!"

"Well… that works too i guess…"

"I hope when you picture that the two of you are evenly separated on my left and right side… preferably the two of you on the respective side I hold you on in your weapon form." Kid interrupted.

"Of course I do Kid!" Patty assured him.

After turning another corner, Kid suddenly stopped in his tracks… "I think I heard something…." He stared down the new hall, a few feet down there was a room with an open door and a light reflecting into the hallway from. His two weapons silenced themselves as well.

"You're telling me I'm stuck in this boring place with you for the next few days? You're kidding me. I refuse to stay here and be bored all day. There's no good food here either!" They all heard a deeper voice groan.

"Gahhh I'm sorry but stop pulling my hair. We need to lay low so we don't get caught again!" said a lighter voice in a whiny tone.

"There's no doubt about it…." Kid smirked.

He crept along the wall as quietly as he could, once reaching the edge of the door frame he peeked inside.

"Well it's your fault we got caught! Why should I have to suffer!" Ragnarok said. He was resting atop the pinkette's head, one hand pulling at her hair, the other one pulling at her ear.

"H-how is it my fault!" Crona said. She was trying to fight back her hair from her weapon.

"I don't know… but it wasn't my fault! So it had to be yours!"

'What an interesting relationship to have with your weapon...' Kid thought to himself. From what he saw of the demon sword Ragnarok, he figured his personality was unpleasant. But he didn't expect this. "Well should we just go in there and hope for the best?" Kid whispered.

"W-what? And run the risk of them getting the attention of that witch who is supposedly here?" Liz panicked.

"Well I did say hope for the best…." Kid smiled. "Besides it's not like we're in a situation where we can do this without getting their attention."

"Sometimes I think you have a death wish…" the older pistol sighed.

Kid stood up and took a deep breathe before proceeding into the room. "Hello Crona… " Kid smirked stepping into the room. It was another empty room, well except for the small bed in the corner. There were papers and a few other belongings scattered around the floor but the room did not look like a suitable place to live in. "Nice meeting you here…"

Both Crona and Ragnarok stared blankly in surprise at him. Ragnarok was the one to break the silence. "Well… looks like I'll be seeing you later Crona…" he chuckled as he sunk back inside his meister.

"Ragnarok…." she whined… "You really are the worst…." she sighed but then remembered her unexpected visitor. "How did you find this place?" her voice became serious. "And why are you here?"

"Why do you think?" Kid said matching her serious tone.

"I THINK you're an idiot for coming here! You should have listened to me! Do you know what this place is?!"

As if in response to Crona's question, the sound of footsteps suddenly were heard from the hallways.

"No…." Crona whispered. In a panic, she grabbed Kid by the wrist and dragged him into the hallway. She looked both ways frantically before running into another one of the empty rooms farther down the hall. With all the empty rooms in the abandon building they lived in, the snake witch would hardly go in one without reason. Crona shut the door behind them and slide down and sat with her back against the door, tugging Kid down to the floor with her. She placed one of her cold hands over his mouth. "You need to be quiet, okay?"

'I couldn't have figured that out for myself. I'm not dumb...' He said internally. After a few minutes of waiting the footsteps finally faded out.

"That was close… " Crona sighed… "You need to get out of here. I'll be right back." She said before dashing out of the room.

After a few seconds of her absence, Kid threw up his weapons in the air and they instantly transformed into their human forms.

"Do you think that was the witch who we were hiding from?" Liz asked. "I was so scared back there…"

"I wonder why Crona helped us though?" Patty wondered.

Kid gave a half smile. "So I wasn't the only one who thought that was weird…."

"Wow I didn't even notice that!" Liz said. "You'd think someone in their situation would have wanted us to get caught… I mean I'm sure she knows why we're here after all."

"Crona must be really nice!" Patty guessed. "We shouldn't be mean to her and Ragnarok if they're so nice! Let's just go home!"
"I'm with you on the going home thing… although for a different reason." Liz sighed.

"We're not going home empty handed and thats final." Kid made clear. "Now any idea's on how we get them to come with us?"

"We shouldn't push her kindness though or she'll probably just end up getting the attention of that witch." Liz suggested. "And taking them down in a fight would definitely attract attention. How about we ask her to help us get out of here but once we're outside we somehow…force her to come with us..?"

"But how would we do that?" Kid asked.

"I don't know…that's just my idea so far…" Liz said.

"I just checked the halls…" Crona suddenly reentered the room. "They're all clear. So if I were you I'd forget your stupid reason for coming here and get out while you can."

"R-right… but uhm… could you come with me..? I mean help me find my way out that is…" Kid said, attempting to go with Liz told him to do.

The demon swordsman stared him down for a bit before nodding. "Fine…But Liz and Patty need to go back in weapon form so we can move faster. "

'Did anyone ever mention Liz and Patty's name to her?' Kid wondered. 'I guess this isn't the first time this has happened...'

The twin pistols stared at each other in confusion wondering the same thing, then just shrugged and transformed back into weapon form.

Crona led Kid by the wrist down the halls, maneuvering way around the dark hallways. Kid could tell they were getting close to the entrance and could probably find his way back on his own. But he still didn't know how he was going to bring the demon sword with him. By force would really be the only way, but would she step outside with him?

"Crona…?" they heard a voice say. They both snapped their heads around in response. Down the hall the light blue haired frog witch stood looking confused. "What are you do-... who's this?"

"E-eruk-ka… I-I-I..." Crona stammered.

Kid's eyes darted back and forth between the two. 'I'd say from this girls attire she's a witch. I'd probably assume this was Medusa if Crona hadn't called her by another name…. maybe… this could be my chance.' "Don't worry…" He whispered to Crona, in an attempt to get her to go with what he was going to do next. He suddenly yanked Crona by the arm and pulled her towards him. "I'm Death The Kid, a grim reaper from the DWMA." he announced. "I have come to bring this Meister and its weapon back to our school." And without giving Eruka a second to respond Kid immediately dashed down the halls towards the exit without looking back. Crona was keeping up well with him and did not resist. He assumed because he got her to believe he was thinking on the spot so it wouldn't look like she was helping him escape. However that wasn't a lie what he said. 'I almost feel bad about this….'

Kid kept running. he could hear footsteps behind him, and that blue haired girls protests. He was confident he would be able to outrun her. At least… thats what his plan was depending on. Then he finally reached it...the exit. Tightening his grip on Crona he shoved the door open and kept running a far as he could.

"Kid hey…. maybe you should let me go now. I'll make sure Eruka or Medusa won't follow you…." He heard Crona tell him. He ignored her. They weren't far enough yet.

"Kid I think you can give it a rest now…." Crona said again after they ran a bit further. Kid finally stopped and caught his breath."Kid…" she panted. "I'll make sure no one follows you if you promise me you'll stay away from here. Okay?"

"That won't be necessary." Kid said, he then released his weapons letting them transform into their human forms again. Crona tilted her head in a naive way. "You see Crona…. we do have to return you to the DWMA. Don't you remember? You escaped last night…"

"Wait…" Crona frowned. "You… you can't…"

"I'm sorry. But I have to."

"B-b-but Medusa will just come find me again! Even if you do she'll take me back! It'll be easy for her to do!" Crona blurted. She knew it was a lie though. Medusa told her she wouldn't help her if she messed up again. But Kid didn't know that.

'She has a point...' Kid thought to himself; he didn't see any reason to doubt her. 'But I can't let this stop me after we came all this way...' "That's something we will have to figure out how to deal with somehow. There's no way the DWMA can just let you loose after you escaped." He said sternly.

"N-no… you can't…" Crona panicked. 'This is… my last chance. If things go wrong this time it's all over. I can't mess it up again.' "R-ragnarok!" She called in desperation. Before she could form the sword in her hands each of her arms were grabbed by one of the Thompson sisters and preventing her from continuing. "No…" she whispered. She was weaponless and outnumbered; there was nothing she could do. "This can't be happening…"


'M-Medusa!" Eruka stammered. "I uhhh… I have some bad news…" The frog witch peeked out from behind the doorway nervously.

"I already know… I saw from one of the snakes in you. Crona's gone isn't she?" Medusas said in a monotone voice.

"Y-yes Lady Medusa."

Medusa leaned back in her chair and smiled. "I suppose I would normally punish her by leaving her on her own. After all, what use do I have for them if they're always requiring my help. But the person who came for her… Death the Kid."

"That sure is a weird name… I bet he's somehow related to Lord Death, maybe?"

"Isn't that what the name implies?" Medusa chuckled. "Death the Kid huh? Now that brings back memories. Who would have thought Crona would have ended up being caught by him. This is interesting. I think it's best if we leave Crona back at the academy for the time being."


"This is not the academy…" Crona frowned as she looked up at the mansion in front of her.

"You're right. This is Gallows Manor." Kid responded.

Her frown widened. "What are we doing here."

"Keeping you in sight until tomorrow." Kid said.

"In sight…." Crona repeated. 'It looks like he must be thinking Medusa will come back for me…'

"What? When did you decide this?" Liz asked.

"On the way back I guess…. I guess I should have asked you two first since it would only make sense that she's in your rooms tonight."

"Our Room?"

"Well yes… they're two of you, and she's a girl. So it would make perfect sense."

"And what about me?" called a voice that was followed by the familiar black figure appearing from Crona's back again. "Crona I can't believe you got us caught again! And now look where we ended up!"

"How is it my fault! You bailed on me back there!" Crona protested.

"Look Sis! It's the funny guy again!" Patty laughed.

'Can't you just stay inside you meister or something… I can already tell you're annoying...' Kid thought to himself, but he was well aware he'd be having to take care of Ragnarok as well as it's meister. 'This will give me a whole night to figure out what to do. After all, I need to come up with the perfect solution to present to my father. He'd probably disown me if I didn't. I'm sure I already am letting him down just by owning these sets of stripes in my hair… But now isn't the time to think about that.' Kid cleared his throat. "Do you think we'll all be able to make it to tomorrow?" Kid asked the group.

"Heck yeah! It's gonna be a super fun night!" Patty cheered.

"There's no way I'm putting up with this for a night!" Ragnarok protested, but Kid ignored him.

"I guess just til tomorrow…" Liz sighed.

Crona just gave a silent nod.

"Alright then…." Kid sighed. "Lets get this over with,"


Yeah this is a bit rushed but I wanted to update cuz I've had like no time for anything. There were no new questions or any answers that needed to be brought up for this chapter so I'm a bit okay with the rushedness of it (compared to future more important chapters). Chapter 5 will be over twice as long and well… A lot of important stuff happens (got my 3rd main all ready to go in ch5, wewt!) so hopefully that will make up for this chapter. I already have my next chapter under way so I'm gonna make sure the wait wont be long. My goal is by Saturday to have it up? That's less than a week away but I'll be able to do since I'm already started..

Thank you for reading as always ^^
