Crona stared wide eyed at the empty room. She couldn't have been right. Medusa couldn't have been.
He turned around and ran through the Shibusen at a fast pace to get to the door. Tears stung at his eyes. Please just let this be a dream. Please!
He burst outside and ran to the first place he could think of.
Maka's house.
He ran in without knocking and went straight to her room. He slammed the door open.
"Maka! Zena-" he stopped his sentence with a huge blush on his face.
Maka was standing in her room with her undergarments on.
"AAAAH! CRONA GET OUT!" she yelled covering herself with her arms and turning around.
"SORRY!" Crona exclaimed and ran out her room closing the door behind him quickly. He slumped against the wall and slid down into a sitting position. He brought a hand up to his chest.
Budumbudumbudumbudumbudumbudum
His heart was beating extremely fast. Did he really just see Maka with only a bra and panties on? For those few seconds he saw her, he realized how unflatchested everyone said she was.
Crona felt a tingle in his back as Ragnarok comes out. "Such naughty thoughts Crona," he said.
"Shut up! Wouldn't you be thinking the same thing if you saw a half naked girl?" Crona shot at him.
"Would a half naked girl count as you when you're changing?" Ragnarok asked.
Crona blushed deeper. "You know I'm a boy!"
"Are you sure? I don't see much under your pants."
"Just shut up!"
Maka's door open and she walked out fully dressed now. She turned to Crona with her arms folded. "Now, what did you want to say that was so important as to barge in to my room while I was changing?"
Crona blushed again. He could tell Maka was mad about the other day and for what just happened. "Uh… Zenaku ran away."
"How do you know she didn't just go shopping?" Maka asked.
Ragnarok folded his arms on Crona's head. "Yeah, how do you know?"
Crona bit his bottom lip. "I-I had a conversation with Medusa. She had mentioned how she would leave because she wouldn't be able to stand with t-t-toying with me. I didn't want to believe her but when I got to her room it was empty," he said starting to cry. He then shot up and hugged her. "I-I'm sorry Maka! I should have believed you!"
Maka wrapped her arms around the small of his back and rubbed it in a soothing motion. "It's ok. I shouldn't have tried to hurt her. I got out of control," she assured him.

Zenaku was walking through Death City. She didn't want to leave, but she couldn't stand knowing that Crona didn't really love her. She had remembered him when he was just a little child when she first heard his name.
If only she could control her powers so she wouldn't toy with his heart and probably be friends with him.
She stopped walking and looked out ahead of her. Desert spread for miles. She was at the border of the city. She stepped on the sand and her foot immediately sank a little. She then looked up at the sun shielding her eyes with her arm. It was going to be a long and hot journey. Then she focussed ahead of her and walked out in the desert.
