Chapter 13

Two days after the end of the last chapter…

Door creaks open

"Chrona?" Maka said in a hushed tone as she peaked through the door. She was in a wheelchair because she still didn't have the strength to walk yet.

"Maka…?" Chrona said as she was broken from her nap. "Come in…"

Maka opened the door fully and rolled in on her wheelchair up to the side of Chrona's bed. She was still bedridden because of the strain on her body from holding up the Black Blood sphere around the moon.

"Chrona, how do you feel? Have you gotten better since yesterday?" Maka asked, worriedly. Even though she had been getting better relatively fast, Chrona still couldn't move very well and slept often.

"Yeah…" Chrona began as she struggled to sit up a little, giving up to move up higher after she reached a comfortable position. "I have gotten a bit better but I'm still really exhausted and it's hard to move." Chrona looked at Maka while saying this but had become distracted by something she saw out of the corner of her eye. "Oh…"

They were pink and black roses that sat in a vase on the nightstand by her beside. The flowers made Chrona's mind wander and her cheeks blush violently.

"Who are these flowers from, Chrona?" Maka asked curiously. "They're beautiful and there's 1, 2, 3… 8 of each color. Eight, eight where do I… Oh yeah, Kid's obsessed with eight."

Even though Chrona wasn't awake to see him bring them she knew he did. He brought her flowers the night before but didn't come to visit her during the day during the last two days. The fact that Maka knew who brought the flowers made her sink down under the covers on her bed and her face became brighter than her pink hair.

"Heeheehee. You don't have to hide Chrona; I think it's cute that he brought you flowers. Has he come to visit you?" Maka asked, politely but with a perverted sneer. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Chrona with innocent eyes that made her feel comfortable enough to slide back out from the covers.

"J-Just on the first day I was here, b-but he hasn't passed by since. I don't know how to deal with him giving me f-flowers and not coming to visit," Chrona stuttered. Her eyes became agitated and she looked distressed and confused. She obviously didn't understand her feelings or the gestures Kid was giving. After all her mother never taught her the things she would need to know for a normal life; just how to kill.

"Hehe, Chrona don't worry about it. Kid became the new Lord Shinigami and now he runs Death City. He has a lot to worry about and tend to, so I'm not surprised he hasn't had time to visit. He will soon, though, even if you don't see him I'm sure he comes by to see you," Maka explained, trying to reassure her friend. Since Chrona was still regaining her strength it's not good for her to get too stressed out about things.

Maka innocently smiled at Chrona with a smile that would melt your heart. It was like the most adorable child ever was smiling at you lovingly. Chrona relaxed at this smile and returned it.

"Thanks for making me feel better, Maka," Chrona said in a calm voice. She laid back into her bed, properly, and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Well, well what's going on over here?" Stein said as he walked in looking through the papers on his clipboard. His eyes glinted in the light which made him look creepy.

A shiver went up Maka's back because Stein surprised her and she isn't supposed to be wandering around without supervision.

"Oh! Hi! Professor Stein, how are you?" Maka asked kindly, trying to distract him.

"I told you not to get out of bed and where did you get that wheelchair? I didn't give you one because I didn't want you wandering around by yourself. And where is Soul? He should be keeping an eye on you," Stein said in an annoyed tone as he glared at Maka. Chrona hid in the background completely unnoticed by Stein and forgotten by Maka.

"I told Soul to go home. He couldn't have been sleeping well in that chair and he hasn't eaten real food in two days," Maka said, bluntly. She laid back in her chair expecting more lecturing.

"Hospital food is real food, Maka," Stein said, annoyed because he eats it every day.

"It's as far from it, Professor," said Maka even more bluntly than before. Nevertheless the words pierced Stein deep. He actually liked hospital food.

Stein sighed, very annoyed, at Maka's reply.

"Anyways, can you go back to your room? After I'm done giving Chrona a check up, I will go to your room. If everything checks out you can check out tomorrow," Stein said, walking past Maka to Chrona's monitoring machines.

A smile streaked across Maka's face. She was so happy to be able to go home but her smile faded a bit when she noticed a frown stretch across Chrona's face.

"What's wrong Chrona?" Maka said, worriedly. Her gaze was filled with worry as her brow creased and she drifted closer to Chrona.

"W-Well…I'm glad you are all better, Maka…but when you go home…I won't have anyone to visit me…" Chrona said, sadly, as she fiddled with her hands.

Maka stared at Chrona blankly for a few moments which caused Chrona to glance over at her worriedly. Then after a short silence Maka burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?! I can't deal with your laughing at me," Chrona said, quickly, surprised that Maka was laughing at what she said.

"Heeheehee…I'm sorry…I'm sorry," Maka said while she wiped tears from her eyes. "Why would you think you would be alone? Sure I wouldn't be here all the time but of course I would visit you. I would even bring Soul and maybe Tsubaki along to see you."

Chrona blushed slightly in embarrassment. She underestimated Maka as a friend because Maka was her first one.

"Alright you two," Stein interrupted. "It's time for Chrona's checkup so Maka please go back to your room."

Maka nodded and rolled out of the room, closing the door behind her. The room was silent with Chrona, who laid in her bed quietly, and Stein who was writing down her statistics from the machines.

After a few unbearably silent minutes Chrona broke the silence.

"Professor Stein…is there something wrong?" Chrona asked nervously.

Professor Stein remained silent for a few seconds as if thinking about how to answer and then finally replied, "Not necessarily wrong per say, however it is strange."

Chrona stared at Stein with a confused face, not at all comprehending what he was talking about.

"Chrona…it seems that such a prolonged exposure to a concentration of the Asura's madness wavelength empowered your Black Blood. Long story short, it made your Black Blood superhuman in a way that makes you immortal," Stein explained, shortly.

Chrona stared at him momentarily trying to fit his words together into something she could comprehend.

"Immortal?" Chrona echoed. "L-Like Kid?"

"Yes. You regenerate at the same rate and aging does not weaken your body. We performed some tests in which we left your cells out for extended periods and they were unaffected. Also, your readings and some tests we performed show that you have no physical damage and that your body is at full power. The only reason you need to rest so much is because you strained your mind and soul while maintaining the Black Blood sphere," Stein explained.

Chrona sat in silence for a moment before speaking, "Can I have some time to think about this?"

"Of course. I'll be on my way. Ring if you need anything," Stein said in a comforting voice. Finding out you are immortal is a pretty big surprise.

Ring…Ring…Ring…

"Hello?"

"Soul?"

"Maka? What's up? Do you need me to bring you something to the hospital?" said Soul in a groggy voice.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" Maka said apologetically into the phone.

"Naw s'alright, I just woke up a few minutes ago. So what's going on?" Soul repeated. He listened intently into the phone, hoping nothing was wrong.

"Everything's alright. Stein just finished giving me a check up and said I'm all clear to go home tomorrow," Maka explained in a happy tone. You could tell she was bouncing with joy because sitting in a hospital bed all day is booooring.

Soul's eyes widened in shock that she could go home so early and he was overjoyed that she would be coming home again.

"Really? So you can come home again, babe?" Soul asked, excitedly, his grogginess completely wiped away by his excitement.

"YES! I'm so happy I get to be at home with you again!" Maka squealed excitedly into the phone. Soul winced at her screaming and he could hear humming sounds coming from his ear.

"Haha, ok don't blow my eardrums out. So did he say when?" Soul asked, chuckling lightly.

"He said I can go around 2. They have to check me out at 2 and I can leave at any time after that," Maka explained, calmly. Soul could feel the wide smile on her face through the phone. Even though it had only been a couple days, Maka really missed sleeping with Soul. She missed cuddling up to his warm body at night and feeling his breath against her hair. On the other hand Soul missed having her to cuddle with and her soothing wavelength helped calm his agitated soul.

"Alright I'll be there around 2 to pick you up and we can come straight home so you can relax a bit. Your books have been gathering dust from you not reading them," Soul said mockingly. She hated when he teased her but she said she didn't want to bring her books because she thought they would be in the way.

Maka growled lightly on the phone which made him chuckle.

"Alright, see you tomorrow, Soul," Maka said sweetly.

"Alright, love you, babe," Soul said lovingly. He smiled as he said it because it made his heart jump a little.

"I love you too, Soul" Maka said and they each hung up the phones. Even though Soul loved being able to say it to his meister, he loved hearing it even more.

"I'm such an uncool mush bag," Soul said to himself. "But I'm Maka's uncool mush bag."

He grinned and began fixing himself some dinner.

"Immortal huh?" Chrona said to herself. "I really don't know how to deal with that. Ugh."

Chrona stared off into space, struggling to understand what was going on. She got so deep in thought she didn't even realize she was in her soul. It was that same beach but now there was a beautiful ocean and a small gazebo made with light brown bamboo and a brown leafy roof. Underneath were two beach chairs, but one was filled.

As Chrona walked over to it she recognized the being sitting in the chair.

"Ragnarok?" Chrona asked as she looked at the back of the occupied seat.

"Hm? Oh hey Chrona! What's up? Long time no see," Ragnarok shouted in that annoying voice of his while he sipped on a drink in a coconut cup.

"What are you doing here? I haven't seen you since a year after I made the Black Blood barrier," Chrona said, worriedly. Even though he had bullied her a lot, Ragnarok was the only one who knew all of Chrona's thoughts and feelings.

"Oh, the madness from that bastard, Asura, pushed me deep in your soul. You can still use me in my sword form, but I can't come out anymore. It kinda sucks but I don't mind that much, it's nice in your soul," Ragnarok explained. "So I guess you're here so I can help you understand immortality?"

"Yeah…What do I do? Can I handle it? Is there something I have to do that requires me to be immortal? I don't know how to deal with this Ragnarok," Chrona cried. Tears streamed down her face. She was so confused and she didn't understand what being immortal entailed. For what reason was she granted immortality? She could have just died in the Black Blood bubble but instead she was given eternal life, how strange.

Ragnarok sighed and set down his drink on a little table that materialized itself next to him. He got up (more like floated up cause no legs) and came over to Chrona, putting a hand on her head.

She looked up from her hands that she was crying into and saw Ragnarok's face and, somehow, caught a reassuring look in his eyes.

"Chrona, you became immortal because you became immortal. You didn't become it for some great reason or purpose. You are you and your feelings and not wanting to die caused the Black Blood to grant you your wish. Plus now that you are immortal you can be with that little Shinigami guy, who is also immortal," Ragnarok said in a soothing, but still high-pitched and annoying voice.

Chrona looked at him and smiled, also blushing at the last part, and hugged Ragnarok. Bright red circles appeared on his cheeks and he became a bit flustered.

"Thank you, Ragnarok," Chrona said happily as she nuzzled into his chest. "Thanks for cheering me up and helping me to understand how I am."

Ragnarok's flustered movements halted at these words and he returned the hug and gave a simple nod as a reply. Soon Chrona found herself back in her room. The lights were off and she noticed the time was 2 in the morning. She smiled and nuzzled into her bed to fall asleep again.

Maybe being immortal won't be so bad, Chrona thought to herself as she drifted back to sleep.
