Hey, here I am with a new chapter!

I ran. I kept running. My breathing was hard. Rain poured around me, heavy, as if to slow me down. Lightning flashed. I saw her. The very thing I'm running from.

I stopped running to turn back around. But she was there. She grinned down at me. I saw her wine-red hair flow across my body.

"Mikel!" I cried. The black blooded demon transformed into the ninja daggers. Before I could use her, the woman swatted the daggers from my hands having them land too far from my reach. She transformed into the human form.

"Zenaku!" she cried. She got up to her feet and started running to me. I turned to run to her, but a power surged through my body, and I fell to my hands and knees in pain. I coughed up blood. But it wasn't black. It was red. I looked over at Mikel and saw her fall to the ground.

"Mikel!" I screamed out to her. But she didn't respond. Instead, she exploded into a black puddle.

"Foolish girl. You never had a chance against me," said the woman looming over me. I gasped and looked up at her with fear in my eyes. With a swift movement, she grabbed my hair and lifted my front half off the ground. I gave off an earpeircing scream and tried to pry her hands off my hair.

Girl jerked up from her sleep panting really hard. Sweat trickled down her forehead. After she calmed down, she looked around the room she was in. It was unfamiliar to her. Then it hit her. She was in a hotel room. Her new "friends" had brought her here so she wouldn't have to sleep another night on the streets. They had planned on leaving to go to Nevada in the morning.

Thunder clapped outside and she let out a small shriek. She had a fear of thunder and lightning. But she could have sworm she heard a gasp. She turned her head to a corner in the room. A shadow was there. She strained her eyes to get a better looke at it and recognized the pink hair.

That's right! She was roomed with Crona since she trusted him more than the others. She heard strangled breathing coming from him. Was he crying?

"C-Crona?" She whispered. She got his attention. She heard him gasp and tried to hold his breath. "A-are you ok?" She could faintly see him nod his head.

She got out of bed to go check on him. She took slow steps and felt the weight of her waist-long hair flow behind her. She wavered around objects in the darkness until she got to the certain figure and knelt down to eyelevel with him.

She could see him holding a pillow against his chest and tears flowing onto it from his eyes. She gave him a small smile and held out her hand to him. "Come on," she whispered quietly. ,"There's nothing to be afraid of."

He looked up at her deep blue eyes and placed his hand in hers.

Girl was shocked. His hands were warm for a skinny boy like him. It made her heart twist for a moment before she stood up straight, allowing him to stand up also. His pillow was gripped in his other hand. He smiled at her thankfully.

Thunder clapped again causing them both to shriek and cling onto each other. They both looked around for a moment in fear until it donged o them that they were holding on to each other. They both slowly turned their heads to face each other, noses almost touching. Dark blue eyes met with pale blue ones. Both turned a deep shade of red before they released each other in embarrassment.

"S-so," Girl spoke up for a moment after a little bit of awkward silence.

"Yeah," Crona responded.

"G'night?"

"Y-yeah, g-goodnight," Crona said then they both crawled into the separate beds.

She then thought, 'Who is Zenaku?'

Thunder clapped again causing them both to shriek.

Sorry, short chapter but I needed to get a little bit of fluff out. It's been bugging me here lately. Next chapter will be longer.
