A/N: Chapter four!

I still don't own Soul Eater.

A tilt of the head and the flicker of the tail persuaded the shopkeeper to feed a fish to the purple cat at his doorway. Today she was awarded with a rainbow trout.

Before she could bite into her snack, however, she heard her name being called, something rare at this time of day.

"Blair! Come and get it!"

Her fluffy ears perked up.

"Your cat toy Soul wants to play!"

At the word Soul the cat left in an extreme hurry, leaving nothing but her lunch and a cloud of dust. The shopkeeper shrugged and returned to his business.

"Maka, it's not working..." Chrona sulked. "Maybe she's not around..."

"Soul!"

The mentioned boy turned only to have a nearly naked woman pounce on him in pure glee.

Maka smiled. "You were saying?"

"Blair..." Soul's voice called, muffled under the woman's chest. A spurt of blood immediately followed.

Maka dragged Blair away from her new favorite toy, who was now unconscious on the ground. "Before you get to play with Soul, we need you to answer a couple questions."

The neko's ears drooped. "Okay..."

Maka motioned to Chrona. "Chrona got his witch powers."

Blair nodded.

"And now I can't change back!" Chrona interrupted.

"Well that's easy, silly!" Blair clapped her hands. "You need to kiss someone!"

Chrona squeaked in alarm. "Wh-what?"

"Well, you only need to do it the first time. Then after that, the memory of the kiss will allow you to change forms!"

Chrona was silent in embarrassment.

"Oh yeah, and not only does the kiss have to be with someone of the opposite sex, but it has to be a person. No animals. For me, I turned into a human for the first time, so it was easy to find a cute guy to do it with." She turned into a cat, probably from the memory, and curled up on Soul's stomach. Soft purrs and snores then came from the feline.

Maka turned to Chrona. "Is there anyone that you would want to kiss?"

Maybe, Chrona thought. And I'm staring right at her.

"Then kiss her, idiot!" Ragnarok shouted in his head.

He shook his head. Until he realized he was giving Maka an unintentional answer.

"Well... then who can we get to kiss you?"

Chrona sighed inwardly. She threw that word around as casually as any other. "I d-do have someone I want to... k-kiss..."

Maka perked up. "Well that's good, who is it?"

"I c-can't tell you..."

"Why not? Don't you want to change back?"

"I do. B-but I don't want to ruin our friendship..."

"How would you be doing-" Maka stopped as it dawned on her.

"Because you like Soul..."

Maka cut off Chrona by pressing her lips softly against his furry pair. The both of them were enveloped in a pink smoke obscuring their sight, and when it cleared Chrona was once again in a human form. She stared into his eyes, her arms wrapped around his neck.

"What made you think it was Soul? And not you?"

"B-but you were so ready to help me find someone else to kiss..."

"I just want to see you happy," Maka explained warmly. "I don't mind who you're with, as long as it brings a smile to your face."

Chrona looked away, blushing deeply. "I w-want to b-be... with y-you..."

Maka smiled, and turned to Blair. "Does it only happen the first time?"

The cat sleepily opened one eye. "Yeah, only once..." she trailed off as she fell back asleep.

"That's good," Maka said, smiling. She then kissed Chrona softly. "Then I can do that."

Chrona's face was a deep red as he looked away in pure embarrassment and shock. "Y-y-you didn't have t-to do that," he stammered.

Maka slipped her hand into his and smiled. "Of course I didn't. But I wanted to."

Chrona blushed even more as they walked back to the school. But only his partner knew of the small smile he wore the whole way back.
