A/N: Dunz eat meh!*covers head in protective pose*! For some reason every ounce of my inspiration to do anything (any of my fan fictions, making AMV's, and etc.) has just bled out of my body. ;A;

Responses to Reviews:

Kara Black: Yay, KidXPatty~! Yeah, sorry that I ruined the fluffy pairing moment by killing off one of the characters, that character being kind of important for there to be Kid and Patty romance ^^;

Blackbloodbaby: Hrm, I'll think about that ;D Honest, I really haven't thought it all yet in the storyline (except for the ending).

Webidolchiu94: Don't worry, the excuse is totally understandable, the reason I haven't updated in forever is because I've been having some stress in school too. =P

1. I iz glad that you liked the Kid and Patty ^^ I like writing it.

2. Why thank you~. No, really, I'm glad that my writing is improving =D

3. D= I'm sorry, hug?

4. You deserve it. When I saw the title, a hand just about came out of my mouth because it was so perfect, so many thank you's~

5. \(^3^)/ Hooray~!

ISKye: Thank you~! Usually I don't get very emotional while reading fan fictions either (because it isn't the official work), so your comment totally made my day ^^

DeadlySereneGrace: Hm, never thought of making Kid go wacko, but I'll keep that idea in mind (I totally just make this story up as I go).

Chapter 11:

New Guests

The silence was thick.

All of the teenagers were extremely quiet, all in their separate areas, thinking. Maka was leaning her forehead against a wall, arms hanging limply beside, resembling a child being put to stand in the corner. Soul was plopped on the floor, leaning his head back and staring at the ceiling, the way he was positioned, once would think he'd been sitting under a tree with a light wind breezing through his snowy hair, but the aura around him said otherwise. Death the Kid had his arm wrapped around an extremely depressed Liz, letting her head thump onto his shoulder when she had sat down, the pistol hadn't moved since other than her low breathing. Crona was standing by the door, farther back from them as he thought.

It was nerve racking. Their thoughts were all jumbled. 'What are we going to do?' 'I don't want to go on.' 'I hate this place.' 'I'll kill Medusa for sure.' 'Three of us are gone…' 'What will happen next?' 'I don't want anybody else to die!'

Maka lifted her head slowly, her deep forest eyes opening and sliding over to glance out the window.

"!"

Maka made a noise of surprise, startling everybody in the room as she swished over to the glass panel. Everybody was curious as to what the scythe meister was doing when she looking out of the window intensely, leaning onto the windowsill heavily, like she was trying to push herself against the glass to get a better look of what was outside.

"Maka, what's wrong?" Death the Kid asked.

The girl didn't answer, but scared everyone when she suddenly banged her fist against the window, making the unbreakable glass ripple.

"Dammit!" she exclaimed.

Soul went over to his meister, putting a hand on her shoulder to push her out of the way to see what she was seeing, "What's out there?"

Suddenly, he saw what it was that had made his partner so angry.

Seven familiar bodies were walking up the pathway that lead into the torturous place they were locked in. Kim Diehl, Jacqueline O' Lantern, Havar D'éclair*, Ox Ford, Kilik Rung, Fire, and Thunder.

Soul moved away from the window, "The people at Shibusen must have gotten concerned about us."

Maka clenched her hand into a fist, "And I bet Medusa's going to trap them in this place along with us?"

"Most definitely." Death the Kid said, "There's no way she would pass up the chance when the victims are just strolling in."

Soul turned to look at the swordsman leaning against the door of the room, "She's just going to keep luring in people isn't she?"

"Yes. She's probably going to keep trying to get as many Shibusen students within her grasp as possible, that is, until a teacher is sent in because the students are all disappearing."

The scythe nodded, "Yeah, that makes sense."

"That damned witch…" Liz spoke up, "If only we'd never come here."

"If only." Kid sighed, "But it's too late to regret it, now we just need to try not to let anybody else die, especially not the others that are coming now. If anyone else were to be lost, I don't think I would be able to call myself a noble shinigami any longer."

As the next set of seven teenagers walked up the small pathway that led up to the large building that was said to be a bed and breakfast—the building may have very well been a palace with its large size of an entire eight stories—Kim thought she saw a flicker of something within one of the windows, something lanky and dark, like a shadow slugging across the room. The figure was gone when she blinked, but the concealed witch was curious as to what it was- perhaps one of the guests was not feeling well?

When they appeared at the doorway, they were met by a woman that was opening the door. She was very pretty, with honey blonde hair that was wrapped in a single braid that framed her face and met in the middle of her chest, and gentle gold eyes, and her figure was perfectly curved and seductive.

She accidentally bumped into Kim, a look of surprise adorning her soft face, when she spotted the students, the woman immediately smiled, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I was just going to get some fresh air."

Kim stepped back, "Oh, no, it's okay."

Ox Ford stepped up, "Ah, we're here to see how the other Shibusen students were doing."

The woman seemed as if she had already known this, her face wearing the patient expression of a teacher explaining to a stubborn child, and her syrupy sweet smile seemed as she was straining patience, "Of course! They had told me that they wanted to call to say that they were staying a little bit longer, I'm so flattered that they like my hospitality!"

Harvar narrowed his eyes, he didn't like the way she smiled, even through the red lenses of his glasses, he could see the cold glint in the back of her eyes.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Medusa." The woman informed them, "Would you like to step inside?"

The seven of them did, and Medusa just seemed to brighten up when she saw Fire and Thunder, "Oh, they're so adorable, these little twins are~!"

Jacqueline saw the side of Kilik's eye twitch when Medusa exclaimed, he never liked it when people gushed over the twins.

The small toddlers looked up at the woman in front of them curiously with their large blue eyes and held on tightly to the hem of their meister's jeans.

Medusa straightened herself out, "I apologize for my manners, I shouldn't be so rude. What are your names?"

One by one they said them, Medusa's eyes getting more excited with each name said aloud.

"My, you are some of the other strongest meisters aren't you? I feel absolutely delighted to have all of you here." Medusa gushed, bowing to all of them respectfully.

Ox Ford spoke up, "Ah, we're not that special, there's no need to be so formal."

The hostess gave him a bright smile that put Kim on edge, her instincts were pulling hard at her brain. This woman's presence felt familiar somehow. Had she met her before? Kim's soul perception wasn't good, so she couldn't tell what it was exactly that irked her.

Suddenly, Medusa was holding out a platter to them, a hopeful expression adorned her face along with a kid smile, "Cookies?"
