OK, I cannot believe I have to do this to you guys, but this has gotten completely out of hand.
New rule: From now on, no questions involving explicit sexual content will be used. I'm sorry, but there is just no way this can go on.
I honestly didn't think I needed to make such a rule, but some of the questions I got from you guys after the last chapter were just…freaking wow, you guys. I know this is an M rated fic, which means I can get away with things like that, but that doesn't necessarily mean I want to do that.
And it's not just because I'm feeling squeamish or anything. There are only so many times I can write these characters getting embarrassed and stressed out before they realistically have to snap. Which is what I'm trying to do, be realistic about this. Honestly, if you were asked questions like that, would you just roll with it and answer? Or freak out and wonder just what the hell is wrong with the person talking to you?
Now, if you want to ask romantic based questions, fine. I will use those. But no more questions that are sexual in nature. That is getting way too personal.
Come on guys, there are tons of questions you can ask without going that far.
Now that that's out of the way, here's part 2 of the review.
/
Welcome back to 'Uh, What Am I Now?'!
Now please sit quietly, no screaming, fighting, or attacking the story as you read! Or no attacking me for writing this story!
Maka: That's odd. I'm feeling very disobedient right now…
Colron- how can they attack you?
Dino- never underestimate the readers Colron ^^
Maka: For once, she makes a good point…
Colron- riiiiiight.

Kal-orne
That is a really good guess. And thanks for liking it. I wanted it to be different from my other stories and I guess it worked then.
Maka: You know, it helps if we can see what you're reviewing.
Crona: …I'm not sure if I want to see her other stories or not…
Warning- Swearing
Maka: Oh no! Not swearing! Prejudiced remarks are perfectly OK, but swearing? Oh, won't someone think of the children?
STORY START!
I sat at my bed focusing hard on the endless text of the book. I put the book away and looked at Gopher, 'Gopher-kun, could you please ask me a question for the test?" I asked and Gopher nodded.
"Alright," He said and looked at the question sheet. "A sound soul resides in what?" He asked and I thought a moment.
Maka: …really? Really, guys? Basic, entry-level knowledge needs to be studied?
"A sound soul resides in….." I said searching for the answer. "A Sound soul resides in a sound m-mind and a sound body." I said hesitantly and looked at him to know if it was the right answer.
"Correct Crona!" Gopher said smiling.
Maka: Would you guys stop making Crona look stupid? He isn't stupid! Not at all!
Crona: …but there are a lot of things I don't know…
Maka: That's the absence of knowledge. Stupidity is being unable to accept new knowledge. That's not you at all.
"Ready for another question?" He asked and I nodded. "Alright, Soul Precipitation is what?" Gopher asked.
Crona: …soul rain?
Maka: I think she meant to put "Soul Perception".
"W-where the person can s-see souls." I said hesitantly and Gopher smiled.
"Good job! You're doing good!" He smiled and glanced at the clock. "Crude!
Maka: Yes, you are.
I got to go! Bye Crona! Good luck studying!" Gopher said as he ran out of the room.
"W-was he late f-for something?" I asked myself confused and went back to reading the textbook. A lot of this stuff was confusing so I was probably going to have to go to Makas later to see if she could help me.
"HEY! BITCH! Get me something to eat!" Ragnarok yelled pounding his tiny fists into my cranium. "I'm hungry!" He snapped.
"OW! OW! OW! Quit it Ragnarok!" I yelled trying to swat him away. Ragnarok laughed and dug his fists deeper into my skull.
"WHERE IS THE FOOD! Jeeze! You cant even get food!" Ragnarok muttered and stopped hitting my head.
Ragnarok: You know, I care about more stuff than just food!
Crona: …maybe, but it is what you bug me the most about…
Ragnarok: Shut up!
He then laid on top of my head. "So, when's this big test your studying for?" He muttered.
"In three days." I mumbled as I continued to read the text book. "This stuff is really confusing." I mumbled as I tried to under stand what was being said in the book.
"That's your own fault for reading the dang book." Ragnarok said as he made himself comfortable on my head. "Why not just not study?" He asked confused.
"Because! I-if I don't study and f-f-fail the test I'll be h-h-held back and wont be i-in the same class as Maka next year!" I said. I didn't want to fail and be left behind by my friends.
Maka: …am I the only one who noticed that this conversation isn't making a lot of sense? From a grammatical standpoint, I mean.
"Eh, you'll fail with or without studying." Ragnarok muttered as he pounded his fist into my head once more.
I winced as he hit my head and sighed. "I'm going to go to Makas to see if she could help me study." I mumbled and got out a piece of paper. "B-better leave a n-note for Gopher-kun." I mumbled writing down where I was going.
I then gathered my test books and put them in my shoulder bag. I headed out the door and up the steps. As I headed out the doors of Shibusen I started thinking. "Gopher-kuns been acting strange lately." I mumbled quietly as I walked to Makas house.
Maka: …I'm kind of surprised you haven't mentioned anything on calling him Gopher-kun, Crona.
Crona: I'm trying to ignore that…I'm also trying to come up with a name for the other me, but nothing's coming to mind.
I reached Makas house and stopped thinking about Gopher, I would try and figure it out when I headed home. I knocked on the door and Soul opened it. He grinned at me revealing his sharp teeth.
"Hey Crona! What brings you here to our home?" He asked as he moved out of the way to let me in.
"Well….. I w-was wondering if Maka w-w-would help m-me s-study for the test." I mumbled quietly as Soul closed the door behind me.
He nodded and went to stairs (OK, I have no idea what Maka and Souls apartment looks like so bear with me!)
Maka: Well, then maybe you should, I don't know, read the manga? Or watch the anime? And how would we get stairs in an apartment?
"HEY! MAKA! Someone's here to see you!" Soul shouted up the stairs.
Maka walked down the stairs reading the text book. "Who is it Soul! Can't you see I'm studying!" Maka snapped at him.
"Well, why not see for yourself, bookworm," Soul muttered heading out of the room.
Maka looked out of the book and smiled brightly. "Crona! What brings you here?" She asked me still smiling.
"Well…I w-was wondering if y-you could h-help me with my s-studying…" I mumbled shifting from one foot to the other in embarrassment. "I am h-having trouble u-understanding the stuff." I added.
"Well of course! Let's head to my room and we can study together!" Maka smiled taking my hand and leading it to her room.
After an hour and a half I said I had to head home and politely reclined eating dinner with them. Even though I really wanted to I had to see if Gopher was back. As I walked the now dark streets I thought of his behavior. It was just like when…I was a spy….for Medusa…
Crona: *facepalm*
Maka: Why in the hell would Gopher ever work for Medusa? Does he even know Medusa exists?
Oh shit! I ran the rest of the way back to Shibusen and practically flew down the steps and ran to my room. "GOPHER-KUN!" I yelled as I slammed the door open and fell first face on the ground.
"Crona?" Gopher asked confused as he sat on my bed looking at me confused as I scrambled to get up. When I got up I ran to him.
"YOUR NOT WORKING FOR MEDUSA ARE YOU?" I asked really loud and fast. I sort of reminded myself of BlackStar.
Gopher looked confused. "No! Why would I work for her?"
Maka: Pretty sure I just asked that question.
He asked a little hurt at my accusation. "Don't you trust me Crona?" He asked.
I felt myself become overcome with guilt. Of course he wasn't working for Medusa! He would never betray me. "Sorry, I just…. I don't k-know what c-came over me to make that thought."
Crona: Neither do I…
I mumbled. "Will you accept my apology?" I asked him.
"I accept your apology." Gopher smiled. "Now, did you get enough studying done for the day or do you want to study some more?" Gopher asked and I laughed.
Crona: Why am I laughing at that?
"I'm good for the night, we'll study more tomorrow." I said smiling with him, I then yawned. "It's pretty late…. I'm going to bed….good night Gopher-kun." I mumbled as I went under the blankets of my bed and went to sleep.
Crona: Maybe I'll be lucky and this'll all turn out to be one overly long, agonizing dream…
Well I hope you all liked this chapter. I worked hard on it.
Maka: …yeah, never mind, that's way too easy.
Well stay tuned for next chapter.
Bye, bye!
Please review!
Don't forget to review!
If you don't review you will make me a very sad author.
Crona: We probably shouldn't be doing this, then…
Bye! BYE!
D.Y.C.
Maka: OK, we get it! Goodbye! Geez!
Welcome back to this chapter of the Gopher and Chrona story!
Not much to say so…
Review to Responses
Arch3rher0
Sorry, I guess I over do it on Cronas stuttering. And I know, I didn't know I made a lot of mistakes in the last chapter.
Maka: Oh, sure, now you notice that!
Well everyone….please continue reading and remember, in this story Crona is a boy.
Crona: I really wish she didn't have to clarify that…
I ran down the halls as fast as I could. I couldn't even get the big smile off my face by a little. I ran down the flight of stairs and ran to my room and slammed open the door startling Gopher. I was practically jumping up and down. "Gopher-kun!" I said excitedly. "I got a B- on the test!" I said happily.
Crona: …I think I've got a name: "Overly Emotional Mess".
Maka: Little much, don't you think?
Crona: It's the best I could come up with…
"That's good Crona!" Gopher said also rejoicing in my good news.
"Also! Something else happened!" I said smiling happily. Gopher leaned forward to hear it. "Maka asked me out!" I said happily.
Crona: …*head meets tray*
Maka: …not the reaction I was expecting…
Ragnarok: Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch, flat-chest. *pokes Crona* He just fainted.
Maka: …oh.
"Maka Albarn asked you out? That is a surprise." Gopher said and smiled. "Good for you." He said smiling at me.
I nodded. "I said yes, after I got over the shock." I said sheepishly looking down in embarrassment.
"So, you guys going to go on a date?" Gopher asked slyly.
"W-what? N-n-n-no! I m-mean….!" I couldn't really finish my sentence because I actually didn't know what to say.
Maka: Pretty sure that's what you just said…
Gopher kept his smirk on and looked at me waiting for an answer.
"I m-mean….I don't know! I guess we are going to go on a date to the movies this weekend but…." I sighed not knowing what else to say.
"So you're going on a date? We have to get you an appropriate outfit for the occasion! Your first date, this is an important day!" Gopher cheered and grabbed my wrist and ran out of the room dragging me with him.
Maka: …maybe it's a good thing he's unconscious for this-Ragnarok, I swear if you wake him up now, I will leave a permanent dent in your skull!
Ragnarok: …has anyone ever told you you're ugly when you're angry?
*MAKA CHOP!*
At the store
"This isn't suitable for you. Doesn't match you very well." Gopher commented on looking at a tuxedo.
"W-what's wrong with my normal outfit?" I asked and Gopher gave me a WTF look.
"To answer your question, EVERYTHING." He said and pulled out a nice dress shirt.
Ragnarok: Just so you know, this totally supports my "rape him in his sleep" theory.
"B-but!" I said and sighed not really going to put up a fight.
"Found the perfect outfit for you!" Gopher said happily and held up a white dress shirt and white pants.
"B-b-but I like my normal outfit, I don't need a new outfit for it." I said quietly as Gopher led me to a dressing room.
"Nonsense! You need a new outfit Crona." Gopher said and shoved me into the dressing room. "When you got that on come out and show me." He said.
I closed and locked the dressing room door and sighed. I slipped off my dress and unbuttoned the dress pants and slipped them on. I then put on the shirt.
"G-Gopher-kun…? I….I am dressed now." I said hesitantly.
"Then come out and let me see how it looks on you!" Gopher said and I hesitantly opened the door and walked out. "You look amazing Crona! It really suits you!" Gopher said clapping.
Maka: …would it really be that much of a problem for him…?
"Now go back in and get in your…..dress…and I'll go pay for this and we can leave." Gopher said and I did as he told me.
We walked to the checkout and bought the outfit. We then headed back to Shibusen only to run into Sid. I hid behind Gopher mumbling 'I don't know how to deal with zombies.'
Maka: You mean despite the fact that he's been around Sid for quite some time now?
"Shinigami-sama wants to see you two." Sid said and walked towards the Death Room.
Gopher and I followed him, I, making sure Gopher was between Sid and I at all times.
We walked into the Death Room to see the bouncy Shinigami over by the mirrors.
"AH! Gopher-kun! Crona-kun! Nice to see you two! You can go Sid-kun!" Shinigami said happily. And bounced over to us.
"I called you two here because…wait for it…" Shinigami said and clapped his hands. "I think Gopher-kun should try his hand at being a teacher here!" Shinigami said happily.
Maka: …WHY?
Gophers jaw was practically on the ground. "WHAT?" He yelled in shock.
"I think it is time you do something helpful here so you are going to be an assistant teacher." Shinigami said still in his sing song tone.
I couldn't hold back a laugh and Gopher glared at me.
Maka: He wouldn't laugh, and neither would I? See? Notice the distinct lack of laughter coming from us?
Ragnarok: …I'd be freaked out if he started laughing right now, you know.
Maka: That's beside the point!
"Well bye –bye!" Shinigami said waving us away and shoving us out of the room.
All that needs to be said was that Gopher was very pissed at having to be an assistant teacher.
Maka: Sadly, he is not alone in that.
Thank you for reading this chapter. I am coming to an end for this.
Maka: Oh no, by all means! Continue this! I just love this kind of torture!
There will probably be two chapters left until this story is over. There might be more chapters because I don't plan ahead and well it might get more chapters.
Maka: I hope you realize that that speaks volumes about your writing capabilities.
So well hope you all enjoyed.
P.S. I am making a AsuraXMaka story!
Maka: …*frustrated scream*
Crona: *wakes up* Huh? What? M-Maka? What happened? What's the matter?
Ragnarok: Figures she'd be the one to wake him up…
I don't feel like making an authors note for this chapter…
Maka: And yet you did anyway…
Gopher was starting his teaching career today, and surprisingly, he was assisting MY class.
Crona: I'm not surprised at all…
So it would be fun since I got to see my friend more often.
I led Gopher to the classroom and gave him a few pointers and warnings on what Stein was like. He was scared of being dissected after I told him how many times Stein had asked me if he could dissect me.
Maka: *sighs* I'm guessing Professor Stein got Flanderized too…
We had to go to class earlier then I normally did because of Gophers first day. When we walked in, Stein was searching for his scalpel.
"H-hello Stein-sensei." I said nervously at seeing the look in his eyes telling me he still wanted to dissect me.
"Ah! Hello Crona. And is this my new assistant?" He asked looking at Gopher. "I see you have a gigori soul,
Maka: It's grigori.
interesting, mind if I dissect you?" He asked looking at Gopher.
Gopher backed away quickly. "NO WAY!" He yelled and glared at Stein. "Why do I have to work with a psycho?"
Crona: …well, apparently I'm your master, so-
Maka: *hugs Crona* You are not a psycho. Stop that.
Crona: Y-Yes ma'am…
He whined biting his upper lip in a pout. I had to laugh a bit, he looked funny like that.
"I…haha…h-have no idea w-why." I laughed out and he glared at me.
Crona: *facepalm* It isn't that funny…
"Well I'm going to take my seat." I said and walked to where I normally sat.
Gopher took a seat at the end of the first row where Stein instructed him.
"Gopher, I want you to get me what I need for the assignments and help the students to the best of your extant." Stein instructed. "And don't go rambling on about Noah." He added.
I pulled out a notebook and started to doodle. I wasn't really paying any attention to what I was drawing until people started to walk in and I glanced at my doodle.
It was of a soul…. Some how I felt like I'd seen that soul somewhere before…. Oh well…it was probably not important anyway.
Maka: Under most circumstances, yes it would be. Considering this fic…yeah, you're right, it probably isn't.
Soon class begun and Stein explained that Shinigami-sama had ordered Gopher to become an assistant teacher and thus he was HIS assistant teacher now.
Some of the people who knew WHAT Gopher did while he was with Noah cast him a death glare while others paid no heed to it.
Stein continued his normal lessons, asking Gopher to go catch a frog that ran off when he was going to dissect it and had to get his scalpel. Gopher was now running down the hallways and into random classrooms chasing the frog…probably….
Come to think of it….the frog looked strangely like Eruka...
Crona: …why do people feel the need to pick on poor Eruka?
I tried to pay attention to the best of my extents. I kept glancing at Maka and then at the door expecting Gopher to return with the frog.
Stein kept talking on how to dissect a frog –even though we weren't dissecting one, it was more of a walkthrough on it- and how not to dissect a frog.
Finally after an hour Gopher returned out of breath, clothes ripped, hair messed up, and holding the frog.
"This frog is evil…" He said and gave it to Stein and went to sit down still trying to catch his breath.
We continued class until it was time for lunch. I walked up to Gopher and asked him if he was alright.
"Yeah….I-I'm fine." He said obviously still out of breath. "that frog was hard…very hard…extremely hard to catch." He said panting. "Even trying to use some of my abilities I still couldn't catch it!" He said.
"Well…..that explains the random explosions." I said thoughtfully.
Crona: …*facepalm*
Maka: Yeah, that's what I was thinking…
Gopher cast me a strange look that I couldn't make out what it said.
"C-can I go now?" He begged and I smiled softly and patted him on the back.
"Sorry but it's lunch time, your break, then back to class." I said and led him to the lunchroom.
We got our lunches and went to sit at the table with Maka and the others. They seemed a bit uneasy of having Gopher with them but I tried to reassure them that Gopher wasn't going to hurt them.
We ate and started talking about school, the souls we've collected, and what not.
BlackStar asked what had happened while Gopher was chasing the frog and Gopher explained that it was evil, and DESERVED to be dissected.
We continued to eat, ignoring BlackStars rants on how great he was, and stayed silent for a little while longer…. The air was really tense. It made me feel very nervous. I didn't know how to deal with tense air….. why couldn't they just trust Gopher?
Maka: Because he's a whiny, obsessive turd. I don't know why you people like him so much. Oh, wait, because he can do something funny with his lip. Whoopdy-fucking-do.
I walked back to my room with Gopher following me with no energy at all. In all and all, this had to have been the worst day of his life…. I felt really bad for him….
Almost immediately after entering my room Gopher collapsed on my bed face first and groaned.
"Please don't make me go back there tomorrow…" He begged, his voice muffled through the sheets and pillows of my bed.
I took a seat next to him and patted him on the back hesitantly. "Sorry Gopher-kun… I don't have any power over that." I apologized. "But maybe it won't be as tough tomorrow as today!" I said hoping to cheer him up.
All I got was a groan in response.
Maka: Boo hoo, poor him. Having to deal with school. Welcome to the rest of the world.
I hope you all enjoyed that chapter! I know it kind of sucked
Both: Kind of?
and I apologize for any errors, my editors who shall remain unnamed have decided to quit looking over for mistakes on this story as of a few chapters ago. (YUKI! COLRON! YOU GUYS ARE THE WORST EDITORS EVER!) Oops! Guess they aren't unnamed anymore! XD.
Crona: That certainly seems like a good way to keep your editors around…
Well while I write this ending Authors Note and post this chapter on Fanfiction and you guys are reading this, I will probably still be listening to Hall Of The Mountain King. (One hell of a good song! If you wanna watch the video that introduced me to the song, go on YouTube and type in Soul Eater Mountin King (I spelt Mountain 'mountin' when I found it) and click on the video that says Chrona- Hall Of The Mountain King (Or you can just type in the videos name…whichever floats your boat)
Crona: …so people are making videos of me to the most-used song for crazy people? …great…
PLEASE REVIEW AND IGNOR MY RANDOM RAMBLING!
Maka: If you don't want us to talk about your random rambling, maybe you shouldn't put it in your author's notes. Just a thought.
Peace! Dino
Maka: And yet I'm not feeling very peaceful. Quite the opposite, actually…
Welcome back everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter! The story is coming to an end one chapters after this one. (I really am getting tired of writing this story is one of the reasons, I want to start on a new story I have been working on is another reason)
Maka: And we're getting tired of reading this, so can we pick up the pace already?
Well I hope you enjoy.
(Gopher)
"So, Gopher-kun, did you set them all up in the designated spots?" A guy asked. They were in a dark ally at night so the guy was hidden.
Maka: Great, POV jumping again…
Crona: …actually, it just moved to third-person. If it was in Gopher's perspective, we'd know who it was…
Maka: So, in other words, it's just a bad bit of foreshadowing?
Crona: I guess…
"Yes." Gopher said bowing down. "But, you won't set them off with anyone in there, will you?" He asked.
"Of course not, I will make sure all those kids are out of the building when I activate them." The man promised. "Now, you should go back or you might raise suspicion, Gopher-kun." He said.
"Yes, Noah-sama." Gopher said and walked away.
Crona: Would it be appropriate…?
Maka: I think it would be.
Both: WHAT A TWIST!
(Crona)
I yawned as I woke up. I looked at the calendar Gopher had gotten me (It had cute pictures of puppies on each month, this month had a black lab puppy) and nearly jumped in glee.
Maka: Oh for God's sake, really?
Tonight was the night of Maka and my date!
Crona: …is it OK if I pretend I fainted again…?
Maka: I guess if it'll make you feel better…
Crona: *head hits tray*
Maka: …but could you not do that every time?
Crona: Sorry…
I was really happy about this.
I got dressed and walked out of my room and to across it to Gophers room and knocked quietly.
I heard a groan and a thud and soon Gopher opened it rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Hi Crona." He yawned.
"Good morning Gopher-kun." I greeted timidly. "You want to go get some breakfast?" I asked him.
Gopher yawned and nodded his head. "Sure, Crona." He said. "Where do you want to go?" He asked me.
"I don't know, the Waffle House?" I suggested and he nodded.
Maka: Again with the waffles…
"Here, wait here so I can get dressed." He said and I finally noticed he was clad in blue flannel pajamas.
"Oh! Sorry!" I said and quickly walked outside of the room and waited. After a few minutes he walked out in his normal outfit.
"So, tonight your going on your date with Maka, right?" He asked me and I nodded, though the tone he used was full of worry and hope I just shrugged it off.
"So, onward to the Waffle House?" He asked and I nodded.
We headed towards the waffle house which was a five block walk and got a booth by the window. I ordered a short stack pancakes and Gopher ordered an omelet.
After ten minutes we got our breakfast.
"So Gopher-kun. How are you liking your life at Shibusen?" I asked him causing him to jump.
"It's good, why wouldn't it be?" He asked, he seemed really nervous.
"Okay. Well I'm proud of you Gopher-kun, you broke away from Noah's grip. That is a great achievement." I commented and Gopher seemed all the more nervous.
"Y-yeah…." He said nervously. "So when are you going on your date with Maka?" He asked.
"Oh! I don't know, Maka was thinking we should go around 7:30, so that's probably when." I said I had forgotten about the date and being reminded about the fact I was going on a date with MAKA brought me great happiness.
Maka: …"great happiness". Very nice summation of all the emotions he could feel. Just top-notch.
"So, you won't be there for a few hours right?" Gopher asked.
If I wasn't so happy I probably would have been suspicious, but I wasn't.
Maka: That's an impressive level of foresight, Crona.
Crona: Thanks…
"Yeah! Today will be the greatest day ever!" I said happily.
Crona: *moans*
Gopher nodded and ate his food quietly.
The rest of the day went by quickly. Me trying to think of what I would say during the date, Gopher going on a walk around town.
Finally Maka came by for us to go and Gopher gave us a nice goodbye.
"Have fun Crona! Stay out as long as you want!" Gopher said, he seemed eager for me to go out. but again I ignored the sign.
Maka: You know, if this is supposed to be Crona looking back on what's happened, maybe you should try writing in the past tense? Again, just a thought.
As we were walking around the streets heading to the movies, we were going to watch a movie about the friendship a child formed with an animal.
Maka: Oh, I'm sure that isn't even remotely symbolic!
"So, did you remember the tickets?" she asked and I mentally slapped myself.
"CRAP! I forgot!" I said in shock. "Y-you go on! I'll run back and get the tickets and then I'll run to the theaters!" I said getting ready to run.
"Alright, be careful!" Maka called as I ran. I yelled back that I would and ran like hell back to my room.
When I reached my room I grabbed the tickets and headed out.
I froze in the doorway and strained. What was that beeping? It was speeding up.
It…..sounded…like…..a bombs timer.
A BOMB TIMER?
Maka: …wait, what?
I ran right out and as quickly as I could, I had been around bombs before! I knew this kind of homemade bombs. This was bad!
Maka: …Crona, have you ever been around homemade bombs with timers?
Crona: I can safely say no…
I heard more beeping from different places in the building as I ran up the stairs and I….
Tripped.
Maka: Lame.
(Maka)
sheMaka
Maka: SheMaka?
Ragnarok: *loud, mocking laughter*
*MAKA CHOP!*
decided I would go back with Crona so she headed towards Shibusen so she could maybe catch up with him.
She was a block away from Shibusen when she saw it blow up while Crona was in it.
It…
Blew…
Up..
And Crona was in it.
"CRONA!" she yelled in shock.
She saw Gopher from the sidelines and his face went pale.
"Crona….he was in there…?" He whispered. "Oh god….NO!" He yelled.
Crona: Well, at least I was mercifully removed from this before it got even worse…
Maka: Crona, please don't joke about that…
Okay! Next chapter will be the finale!
Both: YAY!
I hope you all liked this.
Both: BOO!
Welcome back! This is going to be a short chapter because I have lost every ounce of inspiration for this story! Yay! I no longer want to write this story and it's torture writing this chapter! Yay!
Maka: If this is torture for you, why are you making us suffer too?
*SELF-DEPRECIATIVE HUMOUR AWAY!*
Both: WAH!
Maka: Will we ever get used to that?
Crona: I don't see it happening…
Gopher
"NO! Crona!" I yelled running towards the school and dropping to his knees. "It wasn't supposed to be like this!"
I heard footsteps and saw Noah standing in front of me with a smirk. "Good job Gopher, you did your job well." He said clapping.
I felt tears run down my face. "You said Crona wouldn't get hurt!" I snapped.
He laughed. "I had no control over him running into the school." He said laughing. "Not my fault he's such an idiot he forgot the tickets and ran into his own demise."
I got up and punched him in the jaw. "Bastard!" I shouted as my fist collided with his face. "CRONA IS NOT AN IDIOT! HE IS THE BEST FRIEND ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!" I yelled.
Maka: …well, they got that part right, at least.
Crona: …*heavy blush*
I couldn't see Maka anymore, all I could see was Noah, the guy that was responsible for Cronas death as much as I was.
I continued to punch Noah, ripping the Book of Eibon out of his hands before he could open it and threw it into a puddle and kept punching him until he was lying on the ground unconscious.
I turned to look at the school and felt a single tear run down my face. Crona…
"Whoa! That hurt." I heard a voice mumble quietly and saw some rubble be shoved away from inside.
I saw the familiar pink hair and pale face covered in dirt and cuts. "Ouch. I hate being stuck in explosions." He said climbing out. "Good thing I have you Ragnarok, or I would be dead." He said.
Ragnarok: Yeah, see? We could totally survive an explosion!
Maka: Please don't try and see if you actually could…
I ran to him and brought him in a spleen crushing hug.
Crona: I thought the spleen was in your head…
"CRONA! YOUR ALIVE!" I yelled nuzzling his cheek.
"Of course the bitch is alive! If it weren't for me he'd be dead!" Ragnarok spat.
"Can't…..BREATH!" Crona gasped.
"MAKA CHOP!" Maka yelled hitting me in the head with a dictionary.
"Um…Why is Noah on the ground beaten to a pulp?" Crona asked and stared at Maka and I. "What did I miss?" He asked.
"Nothing! I am so glad you're okay!" I said continuing my hugging.
Maka: Hey! What the hell? If I Maka Chopped him, he's supposed to be lying on the ground, unconscious! You can't just ignore that!
"Um….alright I know I missed something now. What happened?" Crona asked.
"It's a LOOONG story." Maka said. "How about I tell you on the way to the movies?" She asked.
And with that we went to the movies, I knew where I belonged now, I belonged with Shibusen, with my friends, with my best friend, my little brother Crona.
Crona: *spittake* I'm his what now?
Maka: …please tell me you didn't do that on purpose.
Crona: Do what on-…oh…
And done! Crona isn't Gophers little brother, Gopher just at the end considers Crona as a brother at this point.
Crona: That's not that much better!
Maka: Yeah, but at least she didn't create some ridiculous backstory in which it turned out you really were brothers.
Crona: …why do I get the feeling someone will now…?
Gopher beat up Noah! Wow!
Well this story is over! And I am going to post a new story Race For The Scythe Of Time after a make a few small changes on the first chapter that I already have finished!
Maka: Great, I can't wait to see how badly you ruined us in that fic…
I know this chapter was freaking short! I said earlier that I had no ounce of inspiration left for this story and I had started to regret making this story in the first place since I end up hating my stories towards the end of them.
Maka: If you really hate your story that much, just leave it to die. It'll at least make our lives that much easier.
Anyways I hope you like it.
Noah got beat up! Yay!
Maka: And the same thing's going to happen to you if we ever find you! Yay.

Maka sighed, rubbing her eyes as the lights slowly came back on. She was about to rip into the story and give it the lashing she felt it deserved, but stopped when she looked at Crona.
Though he had seemed to be in a normal mood through the review, she could see that he seemed a bit sad. No, sad wasn't quite the right word. More…remorseful. Like he was thinking about something he deeply regretted.
Of course, Maka was a very intelligent girl, so it didn't take long for her to put the pieces together. The subject matter, the parallels made, the situation…it was pretty clear to her what was on Crona's mind.
She sighed, finally having enough. She reached over and gently placed a hand under Crona's chin, guiding his head so it was facing her. Crona blushed at the contact, his face changing to one of both confusion and worry.
"M-Maka…?"
"Crona…do you really want to know why I forgave you?"
Crona blinked in surprise. How did she know…? he wondered. He gave a small nod, face still red.
"It wasn't because I took pity on you. And it wasn't because I was trying to use you."
Her hand moved from his chin and down to his chest, a finger poking him near his heart.
"It's because I know - and that's the key term here, I don't think, I know - that in reality, you are a good person. That what you did to us was because of Medusa, not you. You are a good person, and before then, you never had the chance to show it. I wanted to give you that chance, because you deserved it."
Maka moved away, leaning back in her chair, eyes closed. She didn't see Crona's expression of awe, or the small tears that were forming in his eyes.
"Maybe…if Gopher really is a good person, I could one day forgive him…but I need to know that for sure. I can't just automatically forgive him if I think he's good…"
Crona hastily wiped the tears away, then froze in mid-wipe when he saw Maka lean forward, hands clenching into fists.
"I can't…not after what she did…"
Crona shivered slightly. Maka didn't have to name names.
"…you know what happened with Arachne…right?"
Crona nodded slowly. "You…you went after her…because you thought she'd captured me…you were coming to rescue me…but she lied to you…"
"That's not the only thing…"
Crona blinked. "W-What do you mean…?"
"For…for just a moment…I thought she was worried about you…I thought she was actually trying to be a good mother…and that one thought made me think that maybe, just maybe, she could be good…and she used that!"
Crona jumped as Maka slammed her fist against the arm of her chair. He watched as Maka shook with anger, her face obscured by her hair.
"I hate her…I hate her for what she did to you…I hate her for how she used the both of us…and I hate her…for making it so hard for me to trust…"
Crona froze, the implications of Maka's words sinking in. Without a word, he reached over and wrapped Maka in a hug, pulling her as close to him as possible.
He could tell that Maka was tensed up, her heavy breathing a clear indication of her trying to calm herself. After a short while, she turned in her seat and wrapped her arms around him, returning the hug, her breath slowly returning to a normal pace. The two stayed like that, the only sound they could hear being the other's breathing. Maka noticed that Crona's was a bit shaken, and instantly regretted her outburst.
"Maka…please, Maka…don't change because of her…"
Maka's eyes widened. "Crona…"
"I told you…you're better than her, you know you are…if you let her do this to you, she'll win…she shouldn't win…not ever…"
Crona could feel Maka's hands grip the back of his robe slightly.
"Yeah…I know, Crona…I know…"
Her hands relaxed, and began to gently rub Crona's back. Instinctively, Crona began to do the same for Maka, without even knowing why he was. Instead, the only thought that was in his mind was one question that he truly wished someone would answer.
Why…? Why did my mother have to be so cruel…?

Alright, that's all done. Sorry for the rant earlier, but it needed to be said.
Now, for next time, I'll be needing a story that focuses on either Black*Star, Tsubaki, or both. Yeah, it's a little soon after the last guest appearance, but trust me, I have my reasons for it.
As always, questions and suggestions are appreciated, but please follow the rule I mentioned.
See you next time.
