As soon as Crona realizes that Nanami was nowhere in sight, he feels his stomach drop and begins to look around the room like a lunatic. He looks through all the drawers and searches desperately for any clue. He looks under the bed and throws the matress across the room. He feels his hands shaking and begins to quietly cry in his hands. He falls on his knees and kept crying.

Why am I crying? So what if she left? I didn't even know her that long. I was the one who broke off our friendship and she just decided to go. Why the hell am I feeling like this? I dont know how i'm suppose to deal with this.

Crona calms himself down and slowly stands up wiping his tears with his sleeve. He punches the wall and runs off to see Lord Death. As he was running through the academy, Tsubaki notices him and stops him on his tracks.

"Crona are you ok? Why are you running?", Taubaki says with her smooth tone. She meets eye to eye with Crona but he was too out of breathe to keep in contact with her.

He walks around her and takes a few steps. "I-I h-have to g-go."

"You can trust me Crona, we're friends remember?" She's not my friend, she only pities my existence.

"I'm f-fine Tsubaki." Crona begins to run again and doesn't look back at Tsubaki. All he wanted was to go to Lord Death and talk to him. As he was getting near the death room, he was stopped by Dr. Stein. "Whoa hold on there. Where are you going?"

"I have to talk to Lord Death", Crona says out of breathe. He tries to keep his back straight, but he was too out of breathe.

"Not anyone can go in the death room as they please. You need-"

"P-please Dr. Stein I need to talk to L-Lord Death. It's very important." Crona tries to remain calm, but desperation was written all over his voice.

"Make it quick Crona." Dr Stein leads Crona to the death room and escorts him to Lord Death himself. As they get near enough, Crona begins to feel nervous.

"Hiya whatsup! How's it going it's good to see ya!" Lord Death exclaims. He looks in Crona's direction and says, "what a surprise Crona! How's everything going?"

"I-I-I-I-m-"

"No need to be shy!", Death looks at Stein, "give us a minute Stein." Dr. Stein nods and walks out of the death room.

"So Crona what is it you need hmm?" Lord Death motions Crona to sit in a chair and hands him a cup of tea.

"Umm I-I-I umm have umm...you see...Nanami's gone!" Crona yells while he tries to remain calm. Lord Death as usual, nonchalantly sips from his tea and stares at Crona for .

"Umm L-Lord Death?"

Lord Death then suddenly stands up. "Ahh yes Nanami...what a mysterious girl," he takes another sip from his tea. "She is no longer attending the academy. She left voluntarily. She was never held captive here in the first place."

Crona feels his stomach drop again at the words that came from Lord Death. She left voluntarily.

He suddenly stands up and runs out of the death room. He messed up and he knew it. He should have never turned Nanami down like that. It's his fault she left the academy. Crona runs around the city and even goes to the balcony where they first formally introduced themselves, but as expected she wasn't there. Crona sits down on the balcony and thinks of other places she might be. He rests his head on his knees and remains still.

Nanami's POW:

Run, run, run. I'm running. Run faster! I trip over a crack and fall along with my belongings. "Get the hell up", I cry to myself, "get the hell up!" I slowly get up and notice a deep cut in my knee. Just by looking at it made the pain worst. I gather my stuff and begin to run again. I can't look back, there's nothing for me there. Where will I go now?

It's been two hours since I left the academy. I needed to leave that place, it was no good for me. Crona didn't make anything better with him breaking us off as friends. I never last anywhere anyway.

I find myself in the middle of Death City and remember where I was. "The balcony is just around the corner", I whisper to myself.

I knew Crona wouldn't be there, but the view from the balcony was breathtaking. As I walked towards the balcony, my heartbeat stopped. I gasped at what I saw and sprinted back to a corner where I was safe out of sight. What is Crona doing here? As I peered through the corner, I saw him clutching his legs with his head resting on his knees.

I quietly made my way closer to him and kneeled down to see what he was doing. All he was doing was resting his head, but he wasnt moving.

As I was about to leave, I finally see him lift his head and wipe his face with his sleeve. I assumed he was crying and I felt bad. I wanted to go up to him and sit next to him, but I couldn't.

I felt a tear stream down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. I can't show any weakness, not even to myself. As I walked away, I turned around and took one last look at Crona. "Goodbye Crona"

I picked up my stuff again and continued running. Run run run, the voice echoed in my head. I ran even faster and tripped again. I felt my blood boil and I threw my stuff away from me. "No need for that worthless crap. It was just slowing me down", I murmur as I get up.

I hear a noise and I jump. I notice myself in a dark alley and my heart began to race as I try to make out what was around me. "Who's there?" I prepare myself for anything and hold my breath. A figure walks towards me and I take a few steps back, "if you take one step closer, i'll kill you!"

A laugh follows my threat and my muscles tense up. I know that laugh. "My dear sweet Nanami, would you kill your own mother?"

It was her. It was Lucero. "W-what do you w-want Lucero?"

"Why don't you call me as your mother? That hurts!", she says sarcastically with a sheepish smile.

"You're not my mother you damn witch!" I suddenly feel a slap come across my face and I let out a small gasp.

"Shame on you for calling your own mother a damn witch. I raised you to be better than this. You see", Lucero whistles and a Raven bird rests on her shoulder, "when you ran away I was heartbroken. You really did take me by surprise. But luckily I have my trusty Raven to find you. Once I knew where you were I wanted to go get you myself, but I felt four witches could've welcomed you back", she looks at me and her eyes get red, "As I can see, they didn't succeed.

I take a step back and I bite my lip, trying to not show any fear. "What do you want? Just leave me alone." I lower my head to avoid eye contact with her.

She forcefully grabs my chin and lifts my head, "i missed you and I want you to come home", she lets go of my chin and scratches her head. "Now that i think about it, why are you still standing? I thought my witches pulled through on the welcome party."

"Well as you can see, they didn't", I spat.

Whoosh. Another slap, but even harder. "Ohh Nanami, you shouldn't talk back to your mother l-"

"You're not my mother!", I said as I put my hand to the cheek she slapped.

"You don't need to tell me what happened. My dear Raven, unlike you, is faithful to me and listens to me", she turns her back to me, "so tell me how that friend of yours is doing, the demon swordsman is it?"

I feel my body freeze as she said that. I began to trembling and I bit my lip so hard that it began bleeding.

"What's wrong my dear? Is it something I said?", she jokes.

"You leave him alone I swear i'll kill you!", I took a step towards her, but instead of her taking in my threat, she laughs and grabs her broom. "I'll teach you not to talk to me like that."

She goes on her broom and flies above me, but close enough at arms length. "I actually have a motive to have come all the way over here from home besides seeing you of course my darling", she snickers. "I have a craving for knowing more about the demon swordsman. Not an everyday thing to see a weapon mixed in with a meisters own body with black blood."

"You better leave him alone, he has been through enough already!", I yelled. That was the biggest mistake of my life.

"Ohh so your a close friend of his? Even better", she says as she glares at me.

"I won't have anything to do with you!"

Lucero shakes her head side to side and shakes her finger, "tsk tsk Nanami, I thought you were smarter than this. I didn't think you would make me come to this." I try to run out of the alley, but she blocks off every way out.

Mizu, mizu, uzim!", I chanted under my breathe. I use my water to lift me up as if I was on a surf board. I try wrap a wave of water around Lucero, but she dodges.

"Soul protect off." I knew what she just did and I began to panic. I try to get away, but I suddenly feel my body in horrible pain and I fall to the floor. I winch in pain from the fall and I couldn't move. "What did you do?", my voice trembled.

"I hit you with my wavelength. When you use your power, that is also a vulnerability of weakness for you. So hitting you with my wavelength at that time is perfect. She picks me up from my hair and I shrieked. "Now about that demon swordsman", she smiles at me and giggles, " I have an assignment for you, my dear Nanami."

"No."

"Mave, raven, sarajevan, sarajevan!", she chants religiously. "You will follow my orders Nanami."

I feel something enter my mouth and makes its way down my throat. I hold my neck in disguist, not knowing what exactly happened.

"I threw in a small raven to see about your actions. If you don't follow my orders and betray me, that raven will rip you to shreads from the inside." She grins and looks down on me. "You should have listened."

I began to quietly sob in anger of her her forceful doings. I can't do anything to stop her. I am vulnerable to anything she requests.

"So about the demon swordsman," she smiles sheepishly at knowing that I was now under her complete control, "for now all I want you to do is to become very close to him. I want him to trust in you and then I will give you further intructions." Lucero begins to walk away as I stand up. "Ohh and Nanami, don't think of anything stupid, I wont hesitate to kill you."

As she walked off, I fell to the floor and layed there lifelessly. I am basically a slave to Lucero, and whatever she wanted, I have to do. If I don't obey her, she'll kill me.

So in case you guys haven't catched on, Lucero is the witch that represents the Raven.

R&r (:

Bunin (guest)- Yea you could say that she is emotional, but she tries her best to keep her emotions to herself. Nanami and Crona did something HUGE, and by Crona missing her, that shows how much of a bond they have(:
