Review Responses:

LittleKat2: Thank you so much! That means a lot!

CaptainvKickass: :3 Thanks, I try.

This chapter is just to let you guys know I'm still keeping up with this. I'm sorry for the length. Please don't hate me!

Chrona's PoV:

'Something's not right. It's off. I'm off. Something's not right.'

I'm on my knees, crouched into a ball, crying. The next thing I know, I'm being lifted. Then I'm on something warm. I see black, white, and yellow.

"Chrona," says a calm, soothing voice, "Shh, it's okay. It's okay. Breathe."

I realize that I'm holding my breath and I inhale deeply. A sharp exhale follows. After a few minutes of this, I can see again. Kid is holding me and Stein is standing behind him.

"It's okay." Kid says again.

I push away from him and and jump up, backing away. I'm shaking with nervousness and... Fear? But I shouldn't be afraid.

"Ragnarok." I whisper.

"What?" they ask.

"Ragnarok." I repeat, a bit louder this time.

"I'll get him," Stein says, "You try to calm her down." Kid nods.

"Where is he? Why isn't he here?" I ask frantically.

"He's here, just in the back. Chrona, dear, what is the last thing you remember?"

I think for a moment. I remember waking up in the infirmary and seeing Kid. Him being with me and us kissing. Then Ragnarok, transforming. Then I remember us going shopping and finding the necklace. And that's it.

"A necklace. Getting Ragnarok's necklace," then I know what happened next and my face heats up, "Then the alley. I remember the alley. That's it."

"Okay. do you know where you are?"

"The school's infirmary."

"Good. That's good." he says, never breaking eye contact with me. I can feel myself calming at just his gaze. My breathing, erratic and heavy, is slowing and evening out. I finally stop shaking and I don't feel nervous or frightened. I feel like I'm too far way from him even though it's only about six feet. I feel like I need him right next to me.

"Come here." he says, slightly extending his hand to me.

I'm frozen for a split second before moving to take his hand.

When our fingers touch, I sigh. With the contact, my heart slows, beating normally again. I feel better. With the exception of my bright red, burning cheeks, of course. He pulls me into a hug, wrapping his hands around my waist.

"Don't let me interrupt," I hear from a familiar voice. I pull away from Kid and turn to see Ragnarok and Stein.

I gasp, "Ragnarok!" I exclaim, pulling away from Kid fully. Without thinking, I run to Ragnarok and wrap my arms around him. He returns the hug, something I never expected.

"Are you okay?" he asks me.

"I'm fine. What about you? How do you feel?" I ask, pulling away from him, looking for Kid's hand. Kid's fingers find mine and I smile to myself.

"I feel... Different." Ragnarok says, his tone lighter than I'd ever heard it before. He looks like he's off in his own world.

"Good different or bad different?"

"Good." he confirms.

I look him up and down. He's taller than my five-and-a-half feet. Probably an even six feet tall. He's muscular and well-built. His eyes, a bright blue that I find mesmerizing, look mixed with confidence and something I can't name. His hair is probably my favorite. It's so dark of a purple that it's almost black, mirroring his former purple-ish figure.

"You're wearing the necklace." I say, allowing hope to filter through my tone.

"Yeah. Why not?" he says.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"Yeah, no problem."

"Chrona, you and Ragnarok can go home whenever you like," Stein says, "I want to see both of you in a week to check your progress and recovery."

"Okay." I say, turning back to Kid.

"Do you still want to stay with me?" Kid asks. I nod, squeezing his hand, "Okay. Ragnarok, you're welcome to stay as well." he says, turning to the older boy, in turn, dropping my hand.

"Thanks. I'll be out when I find a place. I'd rather not stay there longer than I have to."

"Alright. Whatever you're comfortable with." Kid agrees. He takes my hand again and leads me out of the school. It's almost dark and the moon has risen. It's bleeding tonight. I've come to learn that this means rain. And soon, by the look of the ever darkening sky.

"We better hurry," I say to the boys, both of whom have my hands in their own, "It's going to rain."

A/N: Ugh, I'll try another chapter in the next week or so. I've got a lot going on right now. I'm super sorry, you guys. I hate waiting for updates as much as you do.
