Note: I do not own any characters in this fanfic aside from Kyo and Hikaru.

Death Manor:

It was around 3am and Kyo had just woken up. He realized there was a blanket on him and quickly noticed that everyone was gone.

"Huh...they must've gone to sleep"

He got up and moved the blanket to the side. Standing up, he stretched and began to walk up stairs. When he got to the top of the steps he sighed as he noticed that all the doors and hallways made the place look like a maze.

"I wonder what room Hikaru's in?" he asked himself

Kyo closed his eyes and stood completely still. He took a deep breath and relaxed his body. He could sense Hikaru's soul wavelength among the others. After he got a hold on it he started to walk down the hallway. Slowly he opened the door to Hikaru's room. He smiled when he saw her fast asleep.

"Guess I'll go take a walk"

Death City Streets:

Kyo left Death Manor silently. As he walked the streets of the city his mind wandered and he began thinking about what Shinigami told him. He just could understand it. Medusa really was like a mother to him. She always did what she could to help him. Whenever he was down she would always try to cheer him up. She was strict on him but showed that she cared. Finally he let out a loud yell.

"Argh! None of it makes sense!"

Kyo then suddenly stopped and clenched his fists. He remained silent for about a minute and finally spoke.

"I know you're following me...come out!"

At first there was nothing. Just the wind howling silently. Then suddenly out of the shadows, a figure appeared. Kyo couldn't make out the figure until it was standing under one of the street lights.

"It's a girl..." Kyo said

The figure that stood there was young girl. She had a very slender body and a akward look to her. She held her arm and although her eyes were on him, her head was angled down. She had on what appeared to be a black dress that seemed to fit her slender type. Her hair was a very light purple and the look in her eyes. Kyo gazed in her eyes and was almost struck with depression. She had such a sad look in her eyes. Like she had only known loneliness her whole life. Finally he pulled himself out of the daze her eyes put him in and spoke once more.

"Who...are you?" Kyo asked

The girl just stared at him.

"Are you hurt..?" Kyo asked

The girl looked as if she was finally about to speak but then stopped.

"What's your name?" This time Kyo was a bit on edge

"C...Crona..." The girl said

Before Kyo could open his mouth again, Crona had a flare of rage appear in her eyes. She rushed towards him and before he could blink, Crona pulled out a black sword that looked like it was to big for her to even attempt to carry.

"Ragnorak!" yelled Crona

A huge mouth appeared near the base of the sword and let out a loud screech. It was so powerful it pushed Kyo back and forced him to sheild his eyes with his arms. When he let his arms back down, Crona was in front of him swinging the sword she called Ragnorak. Kyo reacted in time to dodge to the left. When he landed, he looked down and noticed the huge crater the attack had left in the ground.

"She can't be that strong!"

Kyo was preparing to defend again but noticed that Crona was standing there motionless at first. But then she grabbed her head and started to scream.

"What's wrong with her?" he asked himself

"No no no no no no noooooooo!" Crona screamed

She started to flail herself around forcing herself to drop Ragnork, who then dissapeared into what Kyo thought he saw was Crona's back. Kyo stared at Crona as she seemed to lose herself right in front of him. He took this oppertunity to try and see what was wrong with her. He closed his eyes and relaxed his body. He tried to connect his soul wavelength with hers. Kyo quickly opened his eyes and suddenly found himself in a completely white area. The only thing he could make was a small girl within a self drawn circle.

"Is that...Crona?"

Before he could even act he was pushed out of the scene violently by a burst of Insanity. He found himself on his back in the middle of the street. He quickly popped up and looked around. Crona was nowhere to be found. Hearing a small sound in the alleyway he looked over but was dissapointed to see it was just a snake. He sighed heavily and began to walk back to Death Manor.

"What...the hell was that about...?" he asked himself

Death Manor:

Only an hour had passed since Kyo's encounter with Crona. He felt a bit depressed because now he had more to worry about. He sat on the couch with his feet up on the table.

"You know I think with the way Kid is, he'll have a stroke if he sees your feet on his table" Hikaru said jokingly

Kyo turned around to see Hikaru standing behind him smiling. He smiled back and chuckled but weakly. Hikaru's face began to show worry as she walked around and sat next to him.

"Something wrong?" she asked

"I..."

Kyo hessitated and then shook his head before smiling at her.

"It's nothing...really. I just couldn't sleep, but I think I'm tired now"

Hikaru looked confused but then nodded. She knew how Kyo was and that he'd tell her when he was ready. Kyo layed down and put his head on Hikaru's lap. Before he knew it, he was fast asleep. Hikaru giggled to herself but then stopped when she looked down and saw his face. He looked sad, she thought.

"What could've happened to you...?" she whispered before laying her head back and nodding off to sleep.
