The morning came as Maka and Soul rose. They had shared a room together that night and left Crona with the other. Maka felt kind of bad for leaving him with someone he barely knew, but the girl insisted on it since she barely trusted anyone else. She had the bed closest to the balcony, so she rose before Soul. She looked outside. It was quite pretty compared to Nevada. It wasn't a huge desert like most people said it would be. In fact, it was even cool outside. She also expected it to be like the old wild west where everyone rode on horses, but she hasn't seen one person riding a horse.
After her and Soul got dressed and ready for the day, they decided to go check on Crona and the new girl.
Crona sighed in comfort. He was still half asleep with his arms wrapped around something soft. He guessed it was his pillow. He gave a small smile as he pressed his face closer to it. Then his so called pillow tensed. Then it struck him like a lightning bolt. His eyes snapped open and he realised he wasn't hugging a pillow, but a girl. He jolted up and shrieked.
The girl jumped awake also and screamed along with him from fright.
Crona grabbed the closest pillow to him and burried his face deep in it, trying to quiet the screams down so Maka and Soul wouldn't have to worry about him. 'When did she get in my bed?!' Crona thought.
'You really are pathetic, aren't you?' Ragnarok asked from inside his head. 'Shut the hell up and look who's really in who's bed!'
Crona stopped screaming and looked at his surroundings. He had the bed away from the balcony, and he was in the one by the balcony! "How did I get here?" he asked a little more calmly than before.
"Uh, you were sleep walking last night... a-and you c-climbed in my bed. I-I didn't want to wake you b-because you looked p-peaceful... and... I-I'm sorry!" the girl said clutching her knees to her chest and burrying her face in them. Crona suddenly felt bad for putting that much pressure on her.
"No! no! You shouldn't be sorry! I should! I-I was the one who c-c-crawled into bed with y-y-you," Crona said trying to keep her from feeling guilty, while grabbing her hand.
She lifted her head in shock and blushed at the contact. Crona noticed as he stared into her eyes then started blushing too. He had no idea why, but his body started slowly inching towards her, while she stayed completely still. That was, until Ragnarok burst from his back and started pounding his head.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, CRONA?! YOU MET HER YESTERDAY! YESTERDAY!! DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER ALREADY!" Ragnarok yelled.
"Ow! Hey, stop that! Ow! That hurts, Ragnarok! Ow! Hey! Ow! Ow!" Crona yelled while trying to pry the demon from him. That demon can really hurt if he wants to. All the while, the girl just stared at them with a shocked expression.
"OH! YOU WANT ME TO STOP?! MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU TRIED TO KISS HER! I MEAN, COME ON! SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME YET!" Ragnarok yelled pounding more furiously.
"Ow! Ragnarok! Please stop hurting me! You're going to make my nose bleed!"
"A NOSEBLEED?! BITCH! THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN HAVE A NOSEBLEED, IS IF I WANT YOU TO LEAK OUT ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, KILLING ME ALONG WITH IT!"
The door to their room opened.
Saved!
"MAKA-CHOP!" A book landed furiously on Ragnarok's head causing him to go limp over Crona's head. Crona opened his eyes and saw Maka standing in front of the bed, with her face marked with anger, and Soul in the doorway. The girl was still trying to get out of her shocked state.
"W-what just happened?" the girl asked.
"Oh, nothing. Ragnarok just had another tantrum again," Maka said sighing then looked back at her. "And what I want to know, is What happened between you guys last night?"
"W-what do you mean?" the girl asked.
"You guys still have covers on you," Maka stated. The two looked down realizing they did still have covers on them, then both blushed.
"Well, you see, I kinda slept walked into her bed last night," Crona said quietly with a deeper blush.
"Uh-huh, sure," Soul said. "Anyways, you two get ready for today. We have a long way to go to get to Nevada," After saying that, he and Maka left the room.
"W-well, that was..."
"Embarrassing," the girl finished for Crona. They both got ready for the day then met up in the cafe of the hotel to eat breakfast then left for the train station.
They rode the train and had conversations with Maka and Soul, sorta. They didn't do any talking unless they were spoken to directly.
"So, how many kishin soul did you collect?" Maka asked after talking with Soul for a while.
"Huh? Kishins?" the girl asked. Clearly, she didn't know what she had been hunting.
"Oh, I guess you never knew what they were then. Kishins are human souls that have turned evil, therefore transforming them into a mutated monster," Maka explained. The girl blinked.
"Oh, I never realized they were humans once. Mikel just told me to eat them because that's what she ate before Lady Mich-" I memory hit her. It was when her mother abandoned her when she was just a child.
"Lady who?" Soul asked.
Tears started forming in the girl's eyes as she remembered how tragic that day was for her. She had done everything to please her mom, yet she still got rid of her. She never even gave her a name, but threw her out on the streets hoping she would die of starvation. Thankfully, Mkel had helped her with that problem by teaching her to kill kishins and eat their souls.
Maka elbowed Soul. "Soul, that's a sensitive topic," she quietly scolded him.
"So, Crona?" Soul said snapping the swordsman from looking out the train window and to him. "Have you thought of a name for her yet?"
"Oh, no. I haven't yet," he said guiltily.
"Well, you better start thinking. She won't wait forever, you know," Soul said earning another elbow from Maka.
"Yeah, I guess I'll make a list of names while we're here," Crona said then got a small notepad and a pencil from his suitcase and started writing in it.
