I didn't pay much attention as we travelled towards Crona's location, heck, I didn't even know how we got there. But as we arrived, I could tell that this was going to be one hell of a fight, I could feel a very powerful wavelength in the vicinity, Stein had his hand on my shoulder,

"Crona is in that building over there, have fun."

I walked forwards and placed my hand against the door, I pushed it slightly and it swung open I saw a dreary looking person; blue souls hovered around the room. The person said in an equally dreary voice,

"Ragnarok, scream resonance,"

Her blade had a mouth on it, it screamed so high pitched that I almost needed to cover my ears, the hundred odd souls were pulled into the mouth of the weapon, I took this as my opportunity, I jumped into the shadows. It was yet to notice me. After it had finished sucking in all the souls, I spoke,

"Hello, lonely demon,"

It spun around confusedly,

"You're addressing me, but I can't see you, and I just don't know how to deal with that!"

I laughed darkly,

"You don't know how to deal with a lot, huh?"

It glanced towards the sound of my voice,

"Do you want to fight me?"

"Yes, but a friend wanted me to ask you something first, Crona, have you started answering the questions?"

It looked surprised, as if it had remembered something,

"Maka?"

The look of recognition was gone, in fact it looked confused, as if it didn't know the name it just spoke,

"Yes, the only person in the world that cared about you and you turned your back on her,"

"You're being too up front. I don't know how to deal with that,"

"Shut up, lonely demon, it's time to fight!"

I felt its blade cut into my skin repeatedly, over and over, but I couldn't feel the pain. I could only feel my warm, sticky blood gliding down my body from the puncture wounds in my stomach. I felt a sudden urge to see its blood, its pearly black, magic blood.

I lunged towards the figure and with my sword struck its head, I hooked the flat of my katana around its back and shocked it with my wavelength, it fell backwards, I could feel the madness slowly emerging from the back of my mind, I stared at it, I had a feeling it could feel my madness to, jumping forwards, I punched it repetitively until it bled from its nose,

"Please stop!"

My eyes probably looked crazed; it pushed its blade into my arm and twisted to the side, ignoring the blood and pain I laughed insanely, it stabbed me again in the stomach, with as much force as it could muster, still no pain as I stared down into its frightened eyes, I just wanted to kill it, to kill everybody,

"Time to die, lonely demon,"

I was just about to lunge my katana through its neck, when I remembered my promise, I cackled, screw promises! I felt a hand on my shoulder once more; I spun around and saw Stein, and immediately snapped out of my blood lust, Stein stared at me with boredom,

"I thought you made someone a promise, did you?"

I glared at him, and then at Crona,

"Today's your lucky day, see you again soon!"

I smiled sweetly and slammed the door. I looked at Stein and jumped backwards, he looked scared, no, he looked terrified,

"P-Professor, are you okay?"

"Natsume, that unrequited blood lust that you just displayed was quiet scary,"

All of a sudden it seemed that the floor became very interesting as I was staring at it intently,

"I'm sorry. When I fight alone I just can't control it."

"Are you meaning to say when you fight with others it's easier?"

"Yeah, they kind of remind me that I'm not fighting for me, but for someone else."

He nodded,

"You need a Marie,"

"Pardon?"

"Lord Death paired me with Marie because she acted like a mediator for me. My madness was kept in check,"

"So, you think I need a mediator, huh?"

"Yes, I think that would be a good idea. But only as a last resort. I would first like to see if we can try to control it, the madness, that is."

I made a sound of agreement as I slipped into fatigue all through out the travel home travel home. It was still light when we arrived, I decided to go apartment hunting, I first found some random hotel to stay for the night, cause I sure as hell wasn't going to find somewhere that evening, I walked over town until I found one, it was big enough to fit two people, there was a big kitchen, two bedrooms one bathroom and toilet and a 'leisure room' as the sign called it. I contacted the real estate agency and, unexpectedly, I was the first person to contact them about it, they were quick to snatch up my high offer, my clan was supporting me financially, and they told me I'd be able to move there in a week,

"Yes!"

I hissed to myself, it had only taken me six hours. I really couldn't believe my luck. Things like this just didn't happen, it was against the rules of life. I looked around myself to make sure no one was there and then yelled out my favourite quote,

"Screw the rules, I have money!" (1)

I laughed loudly as I moved towards Black Star and Tsubaki's apartment, I just needed to pick up my stuff and be on my way, I walked happily. As I knocked on the door wondering wether they would be home, I realised that the motel I was staying at was on the other side of town. I shrugged, a little bit of exercise never hurt anyone. The door swung open and I smiled happily up at Black Star's obnoxious face,

"Hullo, Baka Star, I'm here for my stuff"

He looked surprised for a moment,

"You found an apartment already?"

I smiled happily,

"Yeah, well, no offence or anything, but real estate isn't exactly booming down here in Death City,"

It was true, only meisters, weapons and shop owners lived in Death City, so people moved there irregularly, if I remembered correctly, Tsubaki was the last person before me that'd moved there, crazy, huh?

"But what if I get hungry tonight?"

I stared blankly at him, was he being serious?

"Well, you'll just have to annoy Tsubaki, then,"

His eyes went all big and he looked mortified,

"Have you ever woken Tsubaki up in the middle of the night? It's truly terrifying."

I tried to imagine Tsubaki being scary, but I just couldn't. Black Star slowly drifted towards me, then whispered in my ear,

"Her blood type's AB..."

I was shocked, a giant sweat drop rolled down the side of my head and I said quietly,

"Total double personality..."

Black Star nodded, I sighed,

"You're just going to have to cook for yourself,"

He glanced at me with puppy dog eyes,

"Look, Black Star, it's not that hard, there should be some left over pasta in the fridge, just heat it up and you'll be fine,"

He smiled at me,

"The big me didn't need your help to figure that out!"

I sighed exhaustedly as I walked into their house to grab my small duffle bag of things; I picked it up and slung it over my shoulder,

"Tell Tsubaki I said thank you,"

Black Star was admiring his reflection in the mirror, but still nodded in acknowledgment of my request,

"Oh, yeah, don't try to heat up the pasta in the oven, it won't work,"

He looked shocked, that was obviously what he was planning to do,

"Tsch, as if I'd do that! I'm way too big a star to be that dumb!"

He glanced around himself shiftily, making it even more obvious that those were his intentions, he shut up for a moment, I watched him suspiciously,

"Well, goodbye,"

I said impassively, he spun around,

"I'm so big, I'm gonna offer to walk you to wherever your going!"

I raised my eyebrow as high as I could,

"Yeah, no thanks,"

He was laughing with pride so loudly that he didn't hear me. I walked out the door and Black Star followed on behind me, what followed was as unsurprising as anything, Black Star continued on to tell me of his 'many' conquests against enemies of the DWMA, I'm pretty sure he made up more than six of the twelve or so he told me, cause I had seen MacGyver episodes with very similar plot lines. I spaced out after a while, but I had to admit, it was good to have some company,

"Hey, can I ask you something Natsume?"

I nodded unthinkingly,

"What's up with your weapon, I mean, it has a human's soul but not a human's body?"

I rolled my eyes and very plainly explained my situation to him. After I had finished talking, I saw that Black Stars face was smothered with surprise,

"Woah, your story is almost as big as mine!"

I laughed at his childish take on such a serious story. We had just reached the doors of the place I was staying, when it began to rain,

"Argh, I hate rain! Tsubaki will yell at me if I catch a cold!"

Yelled Black Star,

"You can stay with me until it stops, then,"

I yelled back, the onslaught of rain that was pouring down was so loud that it was actually necessary. Black Star smiled smugly,

"I can stay with you?"

I suddenly reconsidered my decision.
