Ugh, I'm so lazy, I kind of just want to get to the action, but I also want to write more fluffy chapters, but then there's the action, then there's fluff and I just… I'll combine it in this chapter. But I planned the action thing to be around Kid and Myra's six month, but then I also want to write Maka and Crona's first date, and just everything is difficult. Oh! Idea!
Maka: That's never a good thing.
Me: This whole story was an idea of mine! Shut up… Anyway, My idea is that if y'all want, I will put more fluff chapters as extra chapters in the end of the story after the main plot is over! (I'm hoping to end this in another ten to fifteen chapters) So there! Problem solved! Vote in for what kind of fluff you want at the end (and if you want smut, I'll make a different story just for those. ) Please R and R! I love you all who have read this!
Chapter 13: Things Change
-Six months later-
-3rd Person POV-
Two Days
Kid and Myra had just celebrated their 6 Month anniversary, and Maka and Crona had their first date. All seemed well with the world according to these teens and 503 year old reaper posing as a teen. Oh, but they were wrong. In the shadows, dark corners, and crevices they were being watched. Every little spider on the wall was doing reconnaissance for the three most wicked women in the world.
"Hey Maka! Come look at this news story real quick," Myra called from the couch in their living room. She was reclined back, her boyfriend's arm around her shoulders, and her head resting on his. That is until she saw this news story. Myra sat up, her brow furrowed, watching the screen with new interest and worry. Death the Kid also gaining interest in the news story, raises an eyebrow.
Maka had walked into the room and looked at the paused screen.
"What is it?" Maka asked her twin.
"Just watch. I think I've seen the girls mentioned in this at school," Myra answered, playing the program, never looking away from the screen.
"Just last night, three young girls have gone missing from their dorm room at Death Weapon Meister Academy," the male reporter said. "The girls in question are all in what is called the NOT class at the Academy. Peers who also live in the same building say that they saw the girls go into their room last night, and when they didn't come for breakfast this morning. Fellow student, Eternal Feather, became worried and went to check on the girls. Here's what she said."
The screen then switched to another girl that the people in the room recognized.
"Yeah, so I went to wake them up, and when I opened the door, their blankets were on the floor and pillows were ripped open. It was definitely a struggle, so I immediately contacted authorities. I don't know who would do that, everyone liked these girls. I just…" the girl began to cry and the footage ended, going back to the male newscaster.
"If anyone knows anything, they are urged to contact the DWMA as soon as possible. Now to Ronald for the weather," the man said. That's when Maka, Myra and Kid began discussing.
"They never released the names of the girls," Myra noted.
"I know who they are talking about," Maka stated.
"Really? Who are they?" Kid asked.
"Meme, Anya, and Tsugumi. NOT class, really sweet girls. Don't you remember when they defeated the witch Shaula?" Maka informed the couple.
"Oh those girls. Yeah I remember. They seemed nice. I wonder who could have kidnapped them," Myra said.
"That is the question everyone's asking after all," Kid adds. "I just hope they're okay." The twins nodded in agreement.
Maka then had left to go tell the weapons of the situation that she had just learned about, leaving Myra and Kid in the living room. She had leaned back into her original position and changed the channel to a channel that constantly played music videos.
"Do you really have to leave tomorrow?" she asked, looking up at her boyfriend.
"Yes," he answered. "And no, you can't come with me."
"I still don't understand why. I could help you," she stated, pouting.
"You could, but I really need to get Liz and Patti more Kishin souls by ourselves. It's nothing against you, my dear, surely you know that."
"I do," she sighed. "I would just rather, you know, not worry if you die or not."
"I won't," Kid reassured her with a kiss on the forehead. "Especially since you threatened to bring me back to life just to kill me again for dying." Myra chuckled.
"That's true. But that won't stop me from worrying. I'm a girl. Worrying is in my nature as a woman."
"I'd be disappointed if you didn't worry," they two smiled at each other before giving each other a short kiss.
Meanwhile, in Soul's room, he, Maka, and Donna were playing Mario Kart on Soul's Wii. Well, really it was everyone in the house's, but he decided to keep it in his room. Like all the gaming systems. Which really pissed off Myra because all Soul and Donna ever did in there was play video games and screw each other, so no one else could play games, meaning Myra could not play her still unopened copy of Deadpool: The Video Game.
"Well, if you ask me, those girls are the first of many. We'll be picked off one by one," Soul said falling off the edge of Rainbow Road. "Damn course…"
"What makes you say that?" Donna asked her boyfriend.
"Look, they beat up Shaula pretty bad, okay. She's got to hold a grudge if she's still alive. And she is related to Medusa and Arachne, who also will be holding grudges. Not against those three, but against all of us. Maka and Kid most of all," he explained, glancing at his meister, who now had a horrified expression. "Plus, Chrona is a part of us now too, so Medusa could want something to do with him as well."
"Wait, Soul, I'm confused. I understand one of them not liking Kid, but why Maka?"
"That's right, I keep forgetting you and Myra were across the country during that whole ordeal," Maka mused. "I killed Asura by punching him in the face-"
"But why would the Gorgons have a grudge for that?" Donna interrupted.
"Because…" Maka paused the game and looked down in her lap. "Arachne was kind of in love or something with Asura. And Medusa would hate me for taking her son to our side and fighting against her. So, that's two witches I have to deal with…"
"Hey, don't worry. You're not going anywhere without a fight. There's no way the three of us," Soul encouraged, speaking about he, Donna, and Myra. "will ever let those bitches take you from us."
"That's right!" Donna determinedly chimed in. "You're not going anywhere, Maka."
"Thanks you guys," Maka smiled, feeling better knowing her friends would have her back.
One Day
"I'll see you in a few days," Kid told Myra while embracing her.
"Yeah. Be careful though," she replied with her head buried in his chest, taking in his familiar and calming scent.
"Promise," he pulled away just enough to keep her in his arms and look into her eyes with a small smile.
"I'm serious. I… I dunno, I just have this weird feeling that something is going to happen…"
"Everything is going to be fine. What you're feeling is only happening because I'm leaving."
"Yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that," Myra smirked at Kid before giving him a quick kiss. "Now get going or you're going to be late for your plane."
"Alright. Come on Liz, Patty," Kid called his weapons.
"We're coming, hold your horses," Liz said, carrying two very large luggage bags, while Patti carried a small back pack.
"My Gods, Liz, do you really need that much stuff?" Myra asked, wide eyed.
"I only packed the bare essentials," She replied, struggling to carry her bags to the taxi that would take the three of them to the airport.
"So did I," Patti added, opening her bag to show what was inside. Myra saw a bra, a half eaten Snickers, two picture books, crayons, and a blanket.
"Uh-huh…" Myra said after examining the contents of Patti's backpack. She gave a Kid a quizzical look and he just shrugged. Liz started shoving her bag into the trunk of the cab while Patti climbed in and buckled up with her bag still on her back. Once Liz finally got her bags in the trunk, she closed it and followed her sister inside the cab and buckled next to her.
"See ya later, Kid," Myra told her boyfriend.
"Yeah, try not to have too much fun without me," Kid instructed before giving Myra one more kiss before leaving. He got into the cab, closed the door, and within a few seconds, he was off with the two female weapons by his side. Myra still had that bad feeling in her gut that she just couldn't ignore while she walked home.
12 Hours
"Black Star, this is not being an assassin, this is breaking and entering," Tsubaki told her meister as they entered Chrona's dwelling through a window.
"But we haven't broken anything, Tsubaki. Besides, I wanna know what he does at home," Black Star told his weapon while sliding in the open window, followed by Tsubaki, who was sighing at her partner's stupidity.
The two silently walked around Chrona's small apartment. It was a one bedroom with a small, but perfectly functional kitchen, bathroom with all the essentials, a pull out couch in the living room attached to the kitchen, a coffee table, and small television on top of a low bookshelf, filled, of course, thanks to Maka.
Black Star quickly made his way to the kitchen, Tsubaki following closely behind. The two examined the little kitchen. Basic appliances, nothing but the bare essentials, and a coffee maker.
"I'm sure I heard something, get out there and look!" a mean voice instructed someone.
"Okay, okay. I'm going," replied a soft spoken voice, followed by light footsteps. Black Star had jumped onto the nearest counter as quietly as possible, hold Tsubaki in her throwing star form. "H-hello?" the softer of the two voices called out.
"Show yourselves, you cowards!" The rougher voice shouted. Black Star flattened himself more on the counter as Chrona emerged into the living room with his back to the meister and weapon pair. Black Star stealthily moved from the counter to the bathroom, just a moment before Ragnarok turned around to spot them. The Demon Sword then urged Chrona to search more of the apartment. The two glanced in the Kitchen, then went to inspect the bathroom.
Black Star had moved into the shower, thinking he couldn't be seen, but his silhouette be seen behind the shower curtain. Upon seeing the familiar shape, Chrona relaxed.
"Hi Black Star," he said.
"WHAT? How did you see me? I was invisible!" the blue haired boy yelled as his partner became human once more.
"Lucky guess," Chrona suggested, not wanting to hurt Black Star's pride.
"Hello Chrona, sorry about breaking and entering," Tsubaki greeted Chrona.
"What am I? Chopped Liver?" Ragnarok exclaimed. Tsubaki giggled and greeted him as well, while Black Star muttered to himself. After a few minutes of casual banter, Tsubaki made Black Star leave Chrona's apartment with her.
After the two left, Chrona smiled to himself before feeling a cloth go over his mouth and Ragnarok screamed at the attacker. But that was in vain, because the two of them collapsed, becoming unconscious.
10 Minutes
Myra, feeling particularly bored, started groaning and sighing very loudly while lounging on the couch, which drove Maka crazy.
"Okay, we get it, you miss Kid, now please shut up!" she yelled at her red headed twin.
"True, I do miss him, but that's not why I'm making these noises. I'm bored," Myra told her twin.
"Well can you be bored more quietly? Or less annoyingly?" Maka asked.
"Nope!"
"Calm down Maka. Seriously. You have a date tonight with Chrona. Focus on that," Donna suggested to the twin sporting pigtails, knowing full well Myra won't listen to her.
"I guess you're right," Maka sighed then smiled at her sister's weapon partner.
"Honestly, I'm still surprised you had the balls to ask him out in the first place," the albino male added.
"Shut up, Soul. You didn't even have the balls to ask out Donna," Myra said, backing up her sister. "But I still have a bad feeling about all this. Please re-schedule this date, Maka."
"No. Have you ever re-scheduled with Kid when I asked?"
"Well, no… but this is different. Please?" Myra pleaded.
"I'm going out and there's nothing you can do about it."
"At least keep your cell phone on full volume."
"Fine, if it means that much to you. Anyway, I'm late, I should get going," Maka said, heading to the door. "See you guys later tonight!" With that, she walked out the door.
Five Minutes
"Soul, I wanna play Black Ops," Donna told her boyfriend.
"Then let's go play," he said. "You want to join us, Red Riding Hood?" Myra smirked at her nickname.
"No thanks. I don't like COD. I'll just watch british chefs yell at other people on TV," She said.
"Have fun with that," Donna said. "Come on, Soul." She grabbed Soul's hand as they walked down the hall to Soul's room to play video games.
Two Minutes
"This chicken is so *bleep* ing undercooked, it's still figuring out whether it should cross the road or not!" The chef screamed at the contestant on the show. Myra laughed at that. Despite her light-hearted television watching, she still had a pit in her stomach telling her something was wrong. That was when the front door opened and Maka walked back in.
"Forgot my phone," she said, walking to her bedroom to grab it.
"Took you long enough to figure it out," Myra shouted as her sister walked away.
One Minute
"Get the bloody hell out of my kitchen. God, how do you mess up Caesar Salad?" the chef yelled once more on screen. That is until the TV turned itself off. And the lights.
"Hey, what's going on?" Myra thought out loud.
"What did you do now?" Maka asked her sister, walking back into the living room.
"Hey! Who messed with the electricity? I just re-spawned!" Donna shouted, entering the living room with Soul on her tail.
"I have no idea, but I don't like it…" Myra mused, looking around the pitch black room.

"Stop touching my arms, Maka," Myra said.
9
"I'm over by the door, how could I be touching you?" Maka replied.
8
"Something's on my legs!" Donna squealed.
7
"What the hell is going on?" Soul asked, shaking his arms.
6
"This can't be good," Maka thought aloud.
5
"What is…" Myra brought her hand closer to her face to see what was in it.
4
"Soul, Donna. Transform," Myra said, panicked.
3
"Why?" Donna asked.
2
"Just do it! Now!" Myra yelled at the weapons as they transformed.

The glow from the two weapons transforming illuminated the room. Dozens of spiders crawled on the floor, a few on Maka and Myra as they caught their weapons mid-air.
"Where did they all come from?" Donna asked, her reflection glowing in the blade of the katana she transformed into.
"I have a pretty good idea…" Soul said. Sinister laughter filled the air and chilled the teens to the bone. Maka and Soul knew that laughter, but for Myra and Donna, it was the first time hearing this laughter.
"Arachne…" Maka said when the Spider Witch came into physical view.
"Hello again, Maka Albarn," Arachne Gorgon gave the twins a sickly sweet smile. That's when the twins sprung into action and started to fight, perhaps for their lives.
