Crona stood in the doorway of the storage closet while glaring at Kid. A dead silence came between the two as Zenaku was lying on the ground staring at them both in horror.

"Step away from Zeni," Crona said. Kid obeyed realizing he had gone too far with this. As he was a few feet away from her, Crona walked to Zenaku and grabbed her hand, lifting her up. He gave Kid one last glare before he walked out of the room with Zenaku.

Kid looked down at his hands then crouched on the ground and cradled his head. Tears then flowed from his eyes. Something was going on with that witch. Crona has now gotten rid of two friends.

Crona slammed his door open and led Zenaku into his room.

Zenaku was thoroughly confused as to why he brought her in here. After a few moments of nervously looking around his room she turned to him. "Crona, why did you-"

"Stay here, I'll be back," Crona interrupted. Zenaku grabbed his arm before he left, haulting him.

"Don't. I know what you're going to do, but I don't want you to. Please, just let it slide," she begged him. He looked back at her. He had stopped glaring and his usual, worried expression returned.

"Did he hurt you?" he asked seeing her reddened cheek.

Zenaku put a hand up to her cheek. "Yeah, but I forgive him for it. I don't blame him for what he did," she said.

"I..." Crona hesitated then took a deep breath. Will she ever forgive him? "I'm sorry... for what I did. C-can you forgive me?" After saying that, he looked down awaiting her answer. He then was shocked when her lips pressed up against his in a passionate kiss. It was a short one but it still meant something.

"I didn't think what you did was wrong," she said. That small statement shocked him. "At least I know you care about me," she said then laid her head on his chest. Crona smiled and wrapped his arms around her. This was the kind of care he had always desired. He knelt his head down, her hair lightly touching his nose, and closed his eyes.

Zenaku slowly pulled away from him with a large smile on her face. "Now, about that next step," she said patting the top of his head. Crona's face burned red.

"EH?! Y-you're still on that?!" Crona asked.

Extremely short chapter. Sorry. But please review.
