Oh look! guess who updated! I had a really hard time with Kid's POV so this chapter took me awhile... I do not own Soul Eater or it's characters, Atsushi Okubo is their rightful master.


I didn't expect Chrona to be so unexpectedly dense. So much that they're refusing to believe me when I'm trying to help… Part of me doesn't want to talk to them again tonight, but I know better than to give in to myself. Chrona needs someone to show them the way out right now, and no matter how hard it is I'll make sure I succeed. If only I could see into Chrona's head, then maybe I could find away to comfort them…

Today school is as irritating as ever; Patti somehow managed to knock every single desk over in a very disorderly manor. It took me two hours to fix the classroom, needless to say, nobody learned anything. I dare say I've haven't been very involved in school as of late, it's just that Chrona just won't get out of my head.

I was a bit hurt when Chrona accused me of lying. Right now I want to gain Chrona's trust, and this may be a major road block. Part of me even wonders if it's a good idea to leave Chrona alone for awhile, but if I do that will anything change? Even if they didn't scream last night how do I know they're any better?

I might as well admit it: I don't know how to help Chrona. At this rate I won't accomplice anything… I only they could let me into their world. Chrona's world is a place I've often wondered about, the only thing I know is it's currently closed off to the likes of me. When I looked in on them this morning they were sleeping, but maybe that's for the best. I wonder… if Chrona had seen my face earlier, what would they have done? But I can't think about that now, I have to come up with something of aid for Chrona tonight.

Chrona's POV

It was dark. I couldn't see anything at all, and I was all alone. A door opened and it became clear that I was in a large, empty room all by myself. Out of the door came my mother.

"Chrona." Mother's voice was the same as always; full of contempt. "Are you still here?"

"I'm right here." I told her quietly as her eyes probed the room.

"Did you just disappear? Did you finally manage to end yourself? You feeble excuse for a person!" Was she mocking me? I was right there, couldn't she see?

"Mother, I'm over here!" I called out a little louder.

"Oh well… Good riddance!" The door shut and all light was gone again. Everything was dark. I felt around for a handle, if mother thought I had vanished surely she hadn't bothered to lock the door… but when I did find the handle it wouldn't budge.

I left the door and I tried to go back to my corner, but the room went on and on and I couldn't even find a wall. The blackness just didn't end; I was having trouble telling right from left because I couldn't see anything! That's when I heard another voice, his voice.

"Everything is prefect! All is symmetrical! It's an ideal world!" He cries with much joy in his voice. A world without a single blemish such as myself. The perfect world: a place where I'm not there.

When I opened my eyes my whole body was shaking, but it took me a few moments to realize I was cold. The rays of afternoon sunlight were slowly leaving this place. But was this just another dream? I couldn't tell. I've slept all day so why should I awaken now? Was there really a difference? Either way this place isn't part of the outside world. But if I try to open the door, will it still be locked? I sat up and took a step towards the door.

Hours past as I stood frozen. The dark came. In the end I didn't have the heart to try, even if it did open what would I do? I wouldn't know how to deal with the hallway, especially those two black doors. What if he was in the hallway? All of it was too much. I curled up in the corner and hid my face.

"Don't you ever get tired of this?"

"Pass."

"You'll always be here, won't you?"

"Pass."

"Haven't you ever wanted to leave?"

"I pass."

"Isn't there something you want to do?"

"Pass…"

"Isn't there anyone you want to go and see?"

"…"

I couldn't say that word. Even though I didn't know who I might want to see. Why couldn't I just answer like I did to every other question I didn't know how to answer?

"Gaaaaaaaaah!"

At first I didn't realize I had made such a noise, nor did I realize I wasn't alone anymore. When my eyes met his golden ones I almost let out another scream. What stopped me from it was his hand on my shoulder. I tried to form the word why, but even though I moved my lips no sound came out. I didn't understand in the slightest why he had come back nor what had taken my voice away.

"You can come out now, Chrona." Why was he smiling at me like that? I don't know how to deal with his smile!

"You don't have to be alone anymore, I'll be right here if you need me." Why, why was he doing this?

"I..." at first the sound of my own voice startled me, but after a moment I continued. "I don't want to..." His expression stopped me from finishing. He looked so shocked I didn't know whether to apologize and take it back or go on. I didn't want him to hate me more than he already did, but I decided to try to go on anyway.

"To, to ruin… it… I don't want to ruin your perfect world!" There. I got it out.

"Chrona, there is no such thing as a perfect world." He was staring into my eyes as he told me this, and I didn't know how to deal with it… "I am just as far from perfect as you are."

How could that be! He wasn't anything like me! People probably needed him; people probably cared about him… He was my exact opposite! I felt tears welling up in my eyes…

"Come on," He held out his hand towards me. "Let's go!"

I don't know what came over me. I only intended to take his hand, but the next thing I knew I was sobbing in his arms. He didn't say a word as I cried, not even as my tears dampened his shirt.


So? It looks like Kid isn't the liar Chrona thought he was! (thank you captain obvious!) Please review!
