Dream of You

Kid stood nervously at the bow of the small vessel as he and his weapons rowed towards where the Nihogg would appear. Maka, and Soul had been allowed to come on the mission as well. Mostly so Kid wouldn't do anything stupid. Stein and Marie were at the village standing by in case they needed help. He could feel Chrona getting closer.

Fog started to roll in, surrounding them. Suddenly a ship came out of the fog. Kid shuddered, it was the exact one that Chrona had sent in the vision.

He could feel the Kishin inside and the hundreds of souls trapped with in.

"Is that…the ship?" Maka asked.

"Yes…" Kid said with a shudder. The entire trip had been major déjà vu for him.

"So what's the plan?"

"Patty. Ram the ship! Right in the middle!" Kid ordered.

"WHAT?" The older girls and Soul screamed.

"YES SIR!" Patty yelled as she started to row at top speed. "DAAAAASSSSSSHHHHH!"

Soul and Maka hung onto Liz as they approached at top speed. Kid stood at the bow then jumped back just as they made contact. Kid threw a hook and rope onto the ship and secured it.

"Liz, Patty, weapon forms!" Kid ordered.

"Are you sure about this?' Maka asked.

Kid frowned.

"If it gets bad, get off the ship, take Liz and Patty with you."

"And you?"

"I'll stall them…and if I have to…go down fighting." Kid said sternly as he started to climb.

Maka and Soul exchanged a look with the twin pistols.

"Kid…must really like this girl." Soul said with a shudder.

(A/N: Fast forward a couple battles)

Kid and Maka were blindsided by the Pirate Kishin. He was about to shoot Kid when a large black sword dropped from the sky, effectively killing the spirit.

Kid shuddered as he recognized the sword. He looked up to see Chrona appear and easily lift the sword.

"Chrona…"
"Kid…"
The two shared a mutual look of sadness before Maka charged in and tried to hit her. Chrona evaded each blow with ease then swung her sword. Maka found her self flying until Kid caught her.

"Go to the boat Maka."

"What? Kid I can't leave you with her!"

Kid released the twin pistols.

"Go now!" Kid ordered.

Chrona looked up at Kid sadly.

"Hello little shinigami."

"She is controlling you now?" Kid asked.

Chrona smile vanished. Her eyes looked to her sword then back at him.

Kid nodded in understanding. In a flash he snatched the sword away and threw it into the sea. Ragnarok's screams echoed as he hit the icy waters.

"We're alone now Chrona. Let me help you."

Chrona started to cry.

"You can't. No one can. She put snakes inside me Kid. So I would never disobey her. Ragnarok will return to me in a few minutes…I can't be saved. Just k-"

She stopped as Kid ran up and kissed her.

"I'm not going to kill you." Kid said as he caressed her cheeks. "But I need to knock you out. We can get the black blood taken out of you and the snakes too. But I need you to be unconscious so Medusa can't hurt you."

Chrona nodded and didn't flinch as Kid hit the side of her neck to knock her out. Kid caught her easily and was about to summon Beelzebub when he realized that his team had not left yet.

"I thought I told you all to leave?" Kid asked as he got in the boat, careful not to wake his charge.

"And leave you alone with your girlfriend?" Soul asked cheekily.

Kid grimaced. "Be glad I'm holding her, or you would be knock out cold as well."

A FEW DAYS LATER

Chrona woke up in a vaguely familiar gothic style room. She recognized it partially from her dreams. She was tucked in a large bed with a warm body next to her. She froze fearfully then relaxed when she felt the familiar wavelength. She slowly rolled over and found Kid sleeping next to her. He snuggled closer to her with a content smile on his face.

"Kid…"

Kid opened his eyes for a moment then held her closer.

"I kept my promise…"

Chrona blushed a deep red before falling back asleep.

Kid hugged her tightly.

'I saved you…but I'm going to protect you from that witch. If she ever comes back…she will die.'
