Authors Note: Sorry the chapters are coming out are weird times, but I am dealing with work and college. I will try to have them come out at a steadier pace lol. Also Chrona's magic is Time manipulation if anyone was confused.
"This is stupid. That moron talking to me like that. She won't last a second without me." Ragnarok sighed, leaning against the side of the building and watching the people walk by. Many things bothered him now that he had a body. Ragnarok didn't like that he felt pain, or worse that he had to actually walk to places. One man noticed Ragnarok talking to himself, but the moment their eyes met he tried to back away, tension filling the area.
"What the hell are you looking at old man? Do you know what it's like being alive!" Ragnarok screamed. The man took a few steps back starting to sweat. "You got it easy; you're going to die soon! But I am young I have to deal with this." Ragnarok said as one of his arms turned into a sword.
"Ragnarok settle down." Maka said running up to him trying to catch her breath. Ragnarok sighed again and stopped chasing the man."What do you want hag?"
Maka pretended not to hear that and looked around. "You haven't seen Chrona have you?" Maka said with a sad look on her face. "Who knows, she obviously doesn't want me around. Why do you ask anyway?"
"Well…She confessed to me." Maka said and instantly began to blush. A smile slowly crept on his face from one ear to the other.
"Interesting." Ragnarok said and turned his other hand into a sword, creating scissor like images with his arms.
MAKA CHOP
With that, Ragnarok laid face down on the ground. "I…sort of told her I would have to think about it." Maka turned her head so to not see the expression on Ragnarok's face. He however stared at the ground and pulled his hat off.
"This is why she needs me. She can't depend on idiots like you." Ragnarok said and shook his head. He wondered where Chrona was at the moment and stood up.
"It's not like that!" Maka said and slammed her foot down. "She can depend on me. I am her friend."
"Come on. I don't think I could even look at you. You basically helped kill her entire family while talking about how much you love your mother. You're the very symbol of evil you know that." Ragnarok said and began to walk forward.
Maka was stunned by his words; so much that she couldn't think of any way to defend against what he said. "You coming cow." Ragnarok said and waved to her. "Regardless of what I say she will still end up fawning over you." He said and sighed again.
The two walked together, looking around the city for their lost friend. "Hey Maka, do you remember that time we fault under Shibusen." Ragnarok said, cutting the silence short.
"Yea I remember, why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering. When in the hell did you get black blood, and why is it gone now?" Ragnarok said and stopped in his place.
"I was infected by your…Chrona's…both you guy's blood. Madness began to slowly root and I saw some red demon thing in Soul's and my mind."
Ragnarok's eyes widened at what he heard and put both his hands on Maka's shoulders. "You saw that freak too! How?" He said loudly, looking directly in her eyes.
"He was just there when I needed to use the black blood. He basically took over and I fell into madness." Maka was confused by his questions, puzzled by the look in his eyes. "Both you and Chrona's blood are black, you've never seen that demon?"
"No only recently and he was obviously more interested in Chrona than me. We better hurry and find her." Ragnarok turned and began to run aimlessly. Maka followed and tried to calm him down.
"Wait Ragnarok, what's going on!" Maka said and grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't you get it cow. I channeled her madness, without me inside her blood he will try to take my position."
"Well aren't you smart. Here I thought you were just as brain dead as Fenrir." A voice said from what seemed like all around them. The people around them slowly began to fall to the ground as snapping became audible.
"You are right you know. The snake women put you in her daughter's blood as a place holder for me. I didn't think you would grow a bond with her, but oh well. She is so afraid and wishes so much to defeat her fears. I was hoping clover would be my god killer but she showed confidence, we can't have that now. "
The little demon slowly walked up to them. Stepping over the people as black blood began to leak from their mouths.
"So just what the hell are you. Are you a dream or some psychotic midget." Ragnarok said as one of his hands became a sword.
"That's a good question. Just what am I?" He said and laughed a little. "But you shouldn't be burdened with wondering what I am, but rather, what I plan to do."
"Cow face, we are going to have to fight him. Grab my hand." Ragnarok said and motioned his hand to her.
"What makes you think we our souls will match?" She said and slowly moved her hand to his.
"It doesn't matter. You had black blood. I can at least work with that. Now hurry up before he makes up stupid with madness."
"...okay." Maka said and grasp Ragnarok's hand. He then turned into a sword. Maka had to grip it with both hands but was able to hold it up. She wondered to herself how Chrona was able to easily swing Ragnarok with just one hand.
"Now idiot, let's go." Ragnarok said and began to scream loud through the sword. The screaming made Maka fall to one leg and cringe.
"Just what the hell are you doing?" She shouted and smacked the sword on the ground.
"Scream resonance you moron!" Ragnarok said loudly.
"You're going to break my ear drums, just let me take care of this." Maka shouted and held Ragnarok up. She began to run at the demon. The demons then held his hands up and push them on the ground.
"Just cut him in half." Ragnarok screamed. Maka then sliced down. The demon simply sidestepped and laughed. Ragnarok plunged into the ground.
"How the hell does Chrona do this." Maka said and tried to pull Ragnarok from the ground.
"Hey idiot watch out!" Ragnarok screamed. He tried to hardened Maka's blood but what little black blood she had, he couldn't control it. The demon laughed and kicked at Maka's side, knocking her and Ragnarok across the street into a building.
"You two have to be the worst pair I have ever seen. The Meister to courageous too use black blood and the weapon that has to dominate the Meister to work. "
"Shut up!" Ragnarok shouted but Maka gripped him tighter.
"Don't let him get to you Ragnarok." Maka said and stood up.
"Oh I won't get to him. He is an idiot that I have nothing to gain from, unlike you Maka." The demon said and began to snap his fingers.
"I know a secret about you." He said as his smile grew.
"Like I am going to believe whatever you tell me." Maka said and held Ragnarok up.
"Secrets are thrown into the darkness of people's minds. Do not think I cannot learn them. I know one about you that is quite delicious." The little demon began to lick its lips. "I know a certain spirit who is lying to you." The little demon said and wiggled his index finger
A smile grew on Maka's face . "If that's the only secret you got than the only thing your shaking is a dead horse."
"Someone who has so much courage also has so much…misdirected aggression." The little demon said and began to snap his fingers. "Don't you think it's a little odd that your father cheated on your mother and yet she is the one that left the city? Your father always trying to win back your love and says how he still loves the both of you. Tell me, isn't it a little odd that no one likes to talk about your mother." The little demon began to laugh loudly. So loudly that he rolled over and began to hold his stomach.
"I feel so bad for your father. Not only abandoned by his unfaithful wife, but hated by his only daughter."
Maka eyes grew wide. Her mind lost in thought. There were no way the words he said could be true, however so many things would add up. Maka fell to her knees and hung her head at the realization.
"Idiot what are you doing" Before Ragnarok could try to coax her up she threw him to the wall. Ragnarok Left his weapon form and ran up to Maka. Grabbing her by her collar and picking her up.
"Damn it, what are you doing. We don't have time for this. This thing is going to kill us if we don't get our…" He was cut off when he noticed the demon was gone, so were the people on the ground.
"Just what is going on." Ragnarok said to himself but his curiosity ended fast when he felt the sting of a fist into his face. He stumbled back and rubbed his face when he saw Maka, she had a grin similar to the demons on her face.
"Great." He said to himself as he saw her coming to him. He turned both his arms into sword and blocked her punches. "Stop it you moron!" He shouted at Maka, noticing her hands getting cut with each punch. She wasn't hardening her blood like the last time they fought so its obvious the demon wants him to hurt her. He lowered his guard and clinched his face, to get ready for the punch. It slammed into him and he hit the ground.
Judging from what he knew about her, she couldn't kill him without Soul, so he decided to weather the pummeling or face the school's wrath if he has to explain that he had to cut her into ribbons by self defense.
"Wake up cow face! Who is going to protect Chrona if you keep this up?" He said as the mass of punches kept coming down on him. They slowly began to stop as he noticed tears falling from her eyes.
"Good grief." He said and turned his head as the punches eventually stopped as Maka began to cry harder. He slowly got up and pulled her to her feet.
"Just…let it all out I guess" He said as hepatted her shoulders. "Jeez I can't handle this right now." He said to himself and slowly pulled her to him so she could cry.
"It's alright. All parents pretty much suck." He said and quickly put his palm on his forehead after realizing what he said. "What I mean is…just like you told Chrona. Your friends are here for you."
A soft sound could be heard walking to them. A girl holding her arm with the other. Her clothes were a messy and bloody but her wounds were all healed. "Maka…" The girl said as she began to run up to her but stopped short.
"I guess I will protect you until this is over I guess." Ragnarok said and held his head back.
Chrona's eyes opened wide when she heard it. She began to soak in the sight in front of her. Ragnarok holding Maka tightly saying he will protect her. Chrona's let go of her arm as both hands made a fist. For the first time in a long time, she felt something build up inside of her.
Before she could react the world around her seem to fade away. She was back in the desert of her mind. The water replaced with blood.
"I don't have to tell you what you saw do I" The little demon said, appearing beside her and holding her hand. "Friends won't defeat the hell inside your head. Let me fill in for Ragnarok. I promise I won't let you go." He said as his smile grew. "Let me show you a world without fear."
