Hello my lovely readers~ Sorry this took a while to update. I've been busy spending time my family during the holidays and I didn't have much time to write, but I'm back now! I got to see snow for the first time and I was so happy :D I thought it was going to be softer though. Turns out it feels exactly like ice. But it was fun making snowballs and throwing them at my sister! xD Okay, enough rambling. Hopefully, you enjoy :)

Disclaimer: Yes, because a person writing fanfics would own Soul Eater -_- I do not own Soul Eater.

Each step he took was a step closer to telling his father about the discovery he had made. That small discovery that was basically ruining both, Kid and Crona's lives in different ways. His heart was racing, and he felt like he was going to have a heart attack at any time now. Never had he been in such a stressful situation.

Why? Why did Medusa have to ruin everything? Why couldn't the snake witch just leave her daughter alone?

The halls of the school felt shorter. In a matter of seconds he was already at the door of the Death Room. Damn it, why did I speed walk!? Speed walking was a habit of his he would do when he was nervous. He was silently begging for his father not to be in the room. But chances of that happening were low. Kid had raised his fist to knock until someone's voice stopped him.

"Hey Kid."

He turned around to find Soul and Maka. "Oh, it's just you two." For a second he had thought it was his father.

"You seem a bit worried. Is something wrong?" She questioned.

"It's nothing. I just have to speak to my father about an important matter."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

She knew he was lying. "Something's wrong I can tell." She stated.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." He said with a hint of worry in his voice. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must go speak to my father." Kid walked into the Death Room without another word to the two who stood dumbfounded at the moment.

Maka frowned, "He's hiding something from us again, and I'm going to figure out what it is."

"Not cool Maka." Soul commented.

Kid shut the door and turned to face his father who was looking at his mirror. He sighed, "Father I have something to tell you." His heart was racing. Negative thoughts were running through his head. He tried his hardest to look and stay positive, but inside he was so close to his breaking point.

The older reaper looked towards him. "What great timing Kiddo! I have to talk to you about something too!"

"Really? H-How about you go first!" He insisted. Kid would do anything to get himself out from speaking first.

"It's about the mission I assigned to you two days ago."

Oh great . . .

"Did she tell you anything about Medusa?" Is it possible to be dead yet look alive from the outside? Because that's how Kid felt when his father had asked that simple question. Please kill me now, he begged silently in his mind. Please let Black Star or Soul or Maka or SOMEONE kill me at the moment. However, nothing came.

"Kid? Are you okay?" His father asked.

The boy shook his head to wake himself up from his daze. "I'm sorry, can you repeat your question please."

"Did Medusa's daughter tell you anything about her whereabouts?" He asked once more.

He hesitated. "Kid?"

"W-Well . . . not really, but I have something important to tell you."

"Kid. You know finding Medusa is important right?"

"Yes father, but-"

"Finding Medusa is the most important thing at the moment. If we don't find her many students lives will be at risk."

"I know father, if you can ju-"

"I'm going to go visit her daughter today."

"Wait!" His heart was so close to stopping. "Father this is important. It has something to do with Medusa."

Lord Death sighed, "What is it Kid?"

He sighed, "Remember a couple of weeks ago you sent me to go see Medusa's daughter for the first time?" The reaper nodded. "Well, you see, since that day I've . . . been . . . seeing her."

His father went silent. Oh no. Kid didn't know whether he should begin to panic or be glad he hasn't spoken yet. Something told him that it wasn't going to be the latter. "Father?"

"You've been . . . seeing a witch?" This wasn't good.

"She's not-"

"Do you know how dangerous that is?" His voice was beginning to lose its childish, silly tone and becoming a serious, angry one.

"She's not like Medusa!"

"How do you know? She could be lying to you for all you know!"

"You have to listen to me-"

"Why have you been hiding this from me this whole time?"

"Because I knew you would react like this!" He snapped. Everything had gone down fall so quick.

"Kid, I don't ever want you to see her again . . ."

The little reaper's gaze fell on the floor. He knew this would happen. A reaper and a witch? Together? As friends? Impossible. Reapers and witches don't belong together. So why did he think he could be with Crona? It would all turn out to be a tragedy in the end.

"I wont see her again if you promise me one thing." Lord Death stayed silent letting him continue. "Medusa's coming back to get her. Promise me you'll try to keep her away from her."

"Kid-"

"Please," he begged "she can't even walk."

He was hesitant at first, but agreed to it in the end. Kid handed him the note and walked out of the room in silence. What he didn't know was Lord Death had received a call from Sid warning him that a witch's presence was being sensed in the city a few seconds after he had left the Death Room.

Hospital

Crona had the cup of flowers in her hands, counting each petal on every flower. It helped her get things off her mind. However, this time it wasn't working.

The guilt was eating her away. Why did she not tell Kid about the note? I . . . couldn't. Ir was fear that made her keep that dangerous secret to herself. She was scared he would leave her forever and she would have to go back with her mother. Her eyes were beginning to prick with tears just thinking about the thought. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and continued to count the colorful petals.

A knock was heard at the door. "C-Come in," she said meekly.

The door slowly began to creek open revealing something terrifying. Crona's breath hitched in her throat and her eyes widened. No . . .

Medusa.

She took one step into the room, and then another, and then another. "I told you I would be back Crona."

"Lady M-Medusa . . ." She mumbled.

"Why do you look so scared? I am your mother and children shouldn't be afraid of their own mother." All the pinkette did was stay quiet. She couldn't get any words to come out of her mouth.

"Now Crona," the snake witch snatched the cup of flowers out of the girl's hands. "I really don't like you having any type of relationship with the reaper's son, but, it could be helpful for my plan. However, you failed to even get one piece of information from his mouth." Medusa sarcastically sighs, "That means, I will have to continue with my original plan which includes you." No . . .

"I-I-I can't." She whimpered.

Medusa narrowed her eyes. "You don't have a choice Crona."

"But-"

"Is it because of him? You know he really doesn't care about you. He's only using you to get information out of you. The only reason he had stayed with you through all these times was so he could gain your trust then ask about what I'm planning to do to their stupid academy." The witch plucked a petal off of one of the flowers. "No one cares about you Crona. No one ever will. So why would you trust him?"

She couldn't bear it anymore. Her heart was beginning to shatter piece by piece with every dreadful word that escaped from Medusa's mouth.

"Now . . . let's go home." The witch dropped the cup, making the water and flowers spill out on the floor, letting the flowers begin to wither away.

Who wants to beat Medusa with a bat? :D I certainly do. We're really close to revealing Crona's past. Anyways, I'll try to post next week. I'm not sure yet because of school, but let's cross our fingers and hope I can update. If you can, please review.

By the way, Happy New Year! How did you guys spend your New Year? Was it fun? :D
