Stranger

Tsubaki POV:

My gaze wondered aimlessly towards the sun that was setting over the edge of Death City cliffs. I stared up at the floating snowflakes falling slowly to the ground but then something startles me from the corner of my eye. I turned my head as quickly as I could and it was then I saw the pink haired boy walking through the school gates.

"His here…"

Liz POV:

I stood there leaning up against the lockers, breathing in and out slowly. I regretted shouting at Black*star like that, guilt filled up inside me to the point where I thought I was going to explode.

Sorry Black*star.

Footsteps filled the hallway and the students standing next to their lockers stopped their conversations to turn and look. Shocked faces covered every student in the hallway, there was no other expression. Everyone was silent as a pink haired boy walked down the hallway, walking past the crowds of students not hesitating to move out of anyone's way. His bangs covered his purple eyes. It was as if he didn't want to be seen. He walked while staring at the ground, as if he didn't want anyone to know he was there.

"His here…"

Maka POV:

As I stepped out of the front door some of the snow on my footpath had already melted away but it was still very slippery. I closed the door shut behind me and began my journey to school.

I heard there's going to be a new boy. I wonder what his like?

I gripped on tightly to my bag straps that were hanging over my shoulders and were joined onto my backpack.

I wonder if Kid's okay, he seemed off last night.

"It's the most painful thing you could ever imagine…"

My eyes widened at the sound of Kid's words in my head.

"Having your skin torn off from your body…" His words lingered all around me "Every bone in your body breaks and shatters into a million pieces…"

I gritted my teeth together "Stop it…"

"Blood that isn't yours…"

"Stop it!" I screamed at the top of my lungs throwing my head back.

My bag slid down off my back and landed in the snow behind me. I fell to the ground on my knees, falling in the half melted snow. I gripped hold of me head and continued to scream, trying to make the voice go away.

"Maka!" A voice exclaimed from behind me "Maka are you okay?"

The white haired red eyed boy crouched down beside me and placed his hand on my back trying to calm me down.

"S-Soul…" I stammered turning my head to face him.

"Hey, are you okay Maka?" He asked with a concerned look on his face "I saw you fall"

"Yeah…" I shook my head "I fell…"

"Do you need help, are you hurt?" He asked searching my arms for any cuts and bruises.

"No" I chuckled "I'll be okay, thanks anyway"

"Are you sure?" He asked helping me up "Do you want me to walk you to school?"

Suddenly out of the corner of my eyes I saw black figure run out of the forest and stand there staring back at me. It was then I saw their golden eyes, their gorgeous shimmering breath taking golden eyes.

Kid…

"No, its okay" I smiled up at him as I bent down to pick up my bag "My friends here now. I'll cya later"

"Cya" He lifted his hand by the side of his head to give a little wave.

I ran towards Kid, running as fast as I could to get to his grasp. Just when I was a few feet away from him I jumped off of the ground and threw my legs around his waist.

"Hey beautiful" He smiled up at him as he placed his hands underneath my thighs.

I tangled my legs around his waist and wrapped my arms tightly around his neck "Hey…"

Slowly I leant it towards him, our lips inching closer together until they were just a few centimeters away. I could feel his warm breaths against my cheek, defrosting my freezing cold face. I continued to lean in to him, letting our bodies be held close together and then finally, my lips brushed against his. I thought he was going to pull away but then I felt him smash his lips against mine. I slowly licked at his lips, waiting for permission to enter inside of his mouth and when he parted his lips I didn't hesitate to slide my tongue in with his. Our tongues twirled round and round together, brushing against the top of our mouths over and over again.

This feels so right…

"Blood that isn't yours…"

Liz POV:

I watched the blue haired boy walk through the classroom door and look around at the students that were sitting in their places. He started walking up the steps towards his seat, staring right at me as he began to walk past.

Something's different about him, his not who he used to be…

"Quiet class…" Stein raised his hands gesturing for students to sit in their sits "Class had began"

All of the students stopped chattering and sat there staring down at Stein, waiting for him to begin his lecture

"Where's Maka?" Tsubaki whispered elbowing me "I didn't see her come in"

I turnt to face her "Neither did I…"

"Class, I'd like you to welcome our new student" Stein turned around to face the doorway "Come on now…"

As on queue the pink haired boy stepped through the doorway into the classroom, his purple eyes were shaking like crazy and he gripped hold of his arm to stop the rest of the class from noticing his nervousness.

"His name is Crona…" Stein turned back round to face the class again "His a little nervous because it's his first day, but I want you too all make him feel welcome"

A few students began to chatter as the pink haired boy walked towards the stairs to take his seat. He walked towards the first step and was about to walk up it as he froze.

Is he okay?

He started shaking like crazy, shaking more than anything that moved quickly. He grabbed hold of his stomach as if he were about to retch in front of him but as he gagged nothing came out of his mouth. His pink uneven bangs covered up his eyes as he continued to lean towards the ground and grip on tighter to his stomach.

"Professor Stein!" Tsubaki stood up and slammed her palms against the table "Crona!"

Stein spun to face Crona and ran to his side "Is everything okay Crona?"

He coughed "Everything's fine" Slowly he lifted his head showing his purple bloodshot eyes "I get like this some times, It's a medical condition. Please don't let me be the cause of you stopping your lecture"

I heard Black*stars voice from behind me "What's wrong with him?"

My eyes widened in shock as I watched Crona begin to try and pull himself up the stairs, still keeping hold of his stomach trying his best not to fall down. What'sgoingon?

Maka POV:

It was just a few hours till the end of school and Kid pulled me down the hallway clinging onto my hand and pulling me along behind him as we ran as fast as we could to Stein's class. Our feet hit against the hard ground, and each step that we took, lingered longer than the last.

"Kid…" I mumbled "Stop running…"

He stopped right in front of me pulling his feet to a stop as he turned to face me "What's wrong?"

"I-I have a feeling that you know something about this new boy" I struggled to get out as I looked up at him "And I wanna know if you do"

He quickly moved his gaze away from me and stared at his feet on the ground. I could tell that he was struggling for what to say, but I really needed an answer. I knew that he had known something about this new boy and wasn't saying anything.

He parted his lips to begin speaking "I…"

"Someone get medical!" Someone yelled down the hallway "Quick!"

"What's going on?" I quickly walked past Kid to where the yelling was coming from.

It was coming from Professor Stein's room. I started to walk towards it, speeding up my pace wanting to see what was going on as fast as I could. People were running in and out of the door like crazy running out then running back in with medical treatment.

"Maka!" Someone called out to me from the doorway "Come here!"

It was Liz. I ran over to her, knowing that she was going to tell me what had happened. She looked confused and in shock as she stared at me, letting her hands shake rapidly. She looked so startled, it was hard to tell what she was thinking. She looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"Liz what happened?" I asked taking hold of her shaking hand.

"H-he…" She stammered in shock "I'd never seen anything like it…"

I gripped on tighter to her hand "Calm down Liz. Try to explain"

Slowly she parted her lips as she was about to speak but just before words could escape her mouth…

"Aaaaaa!"

The scream pierced at my eardrums and straight away Kid ran past me into the classroom. Me and Liz ran along behind him to see what the screaming was all about, but one of us already knew.

"Pin him down!" Stein yelled grabbed hold of the pink haired boys arm.

The pink haired boy shook rapidly and was swaying all over the place. His eyes were so small and bloodshot and a drip of blood run down his chin leaving a trail from the corner of his lips.

"I can smell him on her!" His voice sounded shaky a deep "I know his here!"

Quickly Kid stepped in front of me, as if shielding me from the pink haired boy. He blocked my view so I couldn't see anything that was going on, but that didn't stop me from hearing.

"Crona…" Kid sighed relaxing his shoulders "Stop this"

Suddenly at the sound of Kid's voice, Crona stopped shaking "Death the Kid…"

Fear started to build up in the pit of my stomach. My fingers started shaking but I squeezed them into fists to try and control my nerves. Liz stepped closer to me, still peering past Kid to see what was going on.

"I know that she's with you Kid…" Crona chuckled "You think that your going to get your freedom this time, but no. I won't let you…"

"Kid…" I finally heard myself speak "What's he talking about?"

He didn't answer me back, he just placed his arm behind him and slowly reached out for my hand.

"What you protect her do you?" He smirked then chuckled once more "Like you think you can keep her safe"

"Crona that's enough!" Stein yelled losing his temper "It's your first day and already you're getting on my nerves!"

"Shut it old man!" Crona snapped back jerking his arm away from Stein's grasp.

Who does he think he is…?

"Why are you doing this Crona?" Kid asked tightening his grip on my hand "You know what happened last time"

Crona took a step forward towards Kid "How could I forget, she died…"

Kid swallowed hard and tried hard to look away, trying not to keep eye contact with him. I saw him struggle but he knew he had to look him in the eye.

"I'm going to destroy your life!" The pink haired boy yelled at the top of his lungs "Starting with that pretty little girl you have hiding behind your back…"

Kid lunged at him dropping his hand from mine. He shoved him into the wall, causing him to smash his head against it, creating a loud bang. It echoed through the whole entire room, it was the loudest thing I had ever heard, there was no way someone's head hitting a wall could make such a bang.

As Crona pulled his head away from the wall, bits of paint crumbled and fell to the ground, covering the floor in dust and shattered pieces of the wall.

Liz threw her hands over her mouth "Oh my god!"

"Kid…" My breath had been taken away, I was shocked "What did you do…?"

Slowly Crona's head tilted forward, causing his pink bangs to cover his eyes again and slightly he started shaking, getting faster and faster. His shivering took over his entire body until he was rapidly shaking.

Kid quickly stepped back to me and grabbed hold of my hand. He pulled me close to him and pushed me through the doorway and started to pull me down the hallway once again.

Death the Kid POV:

Oh no, no… no, not this again, not with her, not with Maka…

"Kid where are we going?" She asked with fear in her voice as she tried to keep up with me.

"We can't stay here. Not now, not until he leaves. It's not safe…" I pulled her through another door leading down another hallway.

"What are you talking about?" She asked confused "What do you mean not safe?"

I didn't answer her, I carried on walking down the hallway trying to find a way out of the building before Crona could catch up.

"It's him isn't it?" She exclaimed jerking her hand away from mine "I asked you if you knew anything about him and you did!"

"Maka please don't do this now!" I pleaded walking over to where she stopped "I'm begging, we have to go!"

I tried grabbing hold of her hand again but once again she pulled it away "No! It's you his after, not me! I haven't even done anything wrong!"

"You don't understand!" I yelled stepping towards her.

She stepped back so she was standing against the wall. She stared up at me with terrified and confused green eyes. Firmly her hands were held by either of her sides, but slightly they were shaking even though she tried her best not to show it.

I placed my palm on the wall behind her and leant into her, holding my body against hers lightly "My sent is all over your body. He knows that I'm with you, he knows that I've been protecting you…"

I stared down at her. I wanted to kiss her so bad. Her little face was pale and terrified, I wanted to take her in my arms and tell her that everything was going to be okay, but it wasn't…

"Kid…" She sighed and slowly she reached up and cupped the side of my face "You were talking about what happened to the wolf pack right?"

I slowly took a step back taking my weight off of her "Yeah"

"Was Crona part of your pack?" She gave me a look that I hadn't seen before but it looked like she was trying to say something with it.

I sighed once more and rubbed the back of my head "Yeah…"

She looked sad "What happened to him?"

I looked at her as if she knew already but I told her anyway "He turnt crazy…"

She tilted her head forwards and stared down at the floor, staring at her boots as if they were going to walk away.

"Kid!" Crona's voice echoed through the hallway walls "I can smell that dog stench of yours!"

I spun to face Maka and quickly she grabbed hold of my hand and together we started running down the hallway trying to find the nearest exit.

Full moon, stay away from me…

Maka POV:

We ran round the corner searching for the door to get out into the dark snowy evening and faintly along behind us I could hear the sound of Crona's footsteps running down the hallway after us.

"This way!" Kid exclaimed pulling me down another hallway.

Our feet hit against the hard ground, letting the sound of each step echo all around us. We couldn't have been that far away from the exit, but still we carried on running. I could still hear Crona's fast footsteps from a way behind us.

"Keep going!" I yelled trying so hard to catch me breath "His still behind us!"

My legs were starting to weigh me down, but I knew I had to keep running. Crona was crazy and I didn't want to be involved in that. I kept thinking about what he would do if he would catch us. Would he turn? Would he hurt Kid? Would he turn me?

I couldn't hear his footsteps anymore, the echo from behind us was now gone, but however our footsteps still lingered. I slowly started to stop and finally I fell to my knees, landing against the cold ground.

"Are you okay?" Kid quickly asked running to my side "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine…" I breathed "I can't run, anymore…"

Silence besides the sounds of my panting was all that was around us, it was all that was there, all that I could hear.

"I don't think his following us anymore" Kid said as he walked towards the window and stared at his refection.

I fell back and lied up against the wall "What did he mean when he said 'She died'?"

Slowly he shook his head "It was years ago, I can't really remember it"

I could see in his eyes that he was lying, I could see that it pained him, I saw the reaction on his face when Crona had said about it earlier. I had to know.

"What happened?" I asked wanting to know.

He sighed "Us wolves, were cursed and we need to find that someone who can break it. Years ago Crona fell in love and I couldn't stand that fact that he had found someone before I could. She was a beautiful women, but I hated it that Crona had her first"

I felt pained "What happened it her?"

"She was murdered…" He sighed slowly shaking his head "Till this day Crona blames me, but I know that it had something to do with him. He just won't admit…"

Suddenly a black figure jumped on Kid's back forcing him forwards through the window. Glass flew everywhere and scattered outside and across the floor.

"Kid!" I screamed and flung myself towards the not shattered window "Kid!"

Outside the window I saw Crona in a way that I never wanted to see him. Black fur covered his entire body as he walked around on four legs. A long black fury tail attached to his spine flicked up at the end and his face was nothing left but of a dogs face. But the only thing that had remained was his shimmering purple eyes.

I saw Kid lying against the snowy ground unconscious, a drip out blood running down his face and staining the snow red.

"Kid get up!" I yelled pleading grabbing hold of my hair "Please Kid!"

He still was lying motionless, not moving at all, barely even breathing. I had to get to him.

I spun around and started running back through the halls, searching for the exit door once again only hoping that this time I'd be able to find it. I ran round the corner bursting through some doors that were on the other side of the exit.

Please tell me his okay!

I ran through the doors and ran round the back to where the shattered glass lay across the snow, but where I saw Kid fall, he was not longer lying there. I ran to the shattered glass, as if he was hiding in the snow somewhere, but the snow wouldn't have settled that fast.

"Kid!" I screamed at the top of my lungs "Kid!"

I fell to my knees, trying my best to avoid the glass. I dug my hands in the freezing cold snow picking it up and squeezing it in my fists. I felt my hands starting to hurt but that wasn't the worst pain I felt at that moment. I fell backwards so that I was lying against the ground and looking up at the sky.

It took him away from me…

I lay in the cold soft snow, staring up at the full moon that was smiling down on me. I bet it thought that everything that happened was funny. It likes to ruin people's lives, it likes to cause them pain and watch them suffer.

A tear pricked at the corner of my eye. I squinted my eyes shut, letting that one lonely tear roll down the side of my face. But when one fell, others joined. Tears streamed down my face and dripped off of my chin, landing in the snow underneath me.

Suddenly, a high pitched howl shattered my eardrums. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard, it beat any favorite song of mine, it beat the voice of anyone I had ever loved. Just because...

Just because I knew that it was him.

More tears streamed down my face "Come back... please come back"
