~Chapter 5~

Katana groaned at she rolled out of the way of another spear. Leave it to Zero to lead them straight to a little village in the woods. It was also Zero's fault that they were running for their lives from the little men in the village.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT!" Katana screamed as they ducked under a branch.

"THIS JUST PROVES LITTLE PERSON SYNDROME!" Zero cried back. The dodged another round of spears as they ran through the forest. It wasn't long before they came across a cliff. Katana looked behind her to see that the villagers had them surrounded. She could feel her heart pounding. It wasn't this hard to destroy the kishin egg... Why did Zero make everything so difficult! Zero grabbed onto Katana's side and jumped from the cliff. Katana let out a peircing screams as the plummeted to the ground. Gritting her teeth, Zero extended her arm, turning it intp a large dagger. Metal slammed against the rocky cliff, digging into its rough side. Katana jerked and yelp as dirt flew from the cliff. Slowly they came to a stop, blowing in the wind hanging by a daggered arm in the rock.

"Katana... Don't look... Down..." Zero muttered. Katana placed her head on Zero's shoulder and tried to breath evenly. Heights... Katana couldnt deal with them at all. And neither could Zero, so why was she so calm? Katana shook her head lightly, trying to calm herself. Why was a Keshin egg so much easier to deal with than heights and little villagers. Katana took a quick glance up. Not a villager in sight.

Zero gripped Katana's shirt tighter.

"Close your eyes..." Zero murmured. Katana hesitated, before doing as she was told. Zero found herself grinning as she launched herself and Katana from the cliff side. Katana could feel the air whizzing past them as they fell the rest of the way down. Zero shifted in the air, moving so her body could collect the impact from the ground they were heading to. Katana fisted Zero's shirt in her hand as they landed in a deep pool of water. Zero let go of Katana and swam up to the surface. Katana shook her head lightly before following to fresh air. The bobbed their way to the shore, shivering and pale.

"Why the hell did you have to do that...?" Katana asked wringing out her clothes trying to dry herself some before she got sick.

"Well... I don't know... its just who I am... I cause trouble... Always have always will.."

"One of these days your going to get yourself killed..." Zero just grinned before going to gather a bunch of sticks.

"We should camp out here and head back to the Academy tomorrow. That way we can be well rested," She explained as she piled them into a triangle-like shape. Katana grinned started to rub to sticks together.

~15 minutes later~

"You need a flint or something..."

"NO I CAN DO THIS!"

"You can try..."

" I WILL!" Katana glared at the sticks she was rubbing together. Zero sighed before gathering a little bit of grass and placing it between the sitcks she was rubbing. It was only another few minutes before an actuall flame sparked. Katana's face lit up and added more grass to the fire, and soon they had a nice cozy fire before them... And it wasnt even dark yet.

"Well... I feel accomplished!" Katana said with a smile. She leaned back against her arms and watched the fire. Zero was fishing... with her arms... Slapping the water like an angry bear. She growled and turned her nails into steal appendages. The water was still as she slashed at the surface. When she brought her hand back up she was holding a six in long silver fish. She did it again, catching enough food to last them the night.

"I feel like those villagers need therapy..." Zero muttered as she slid a stick through the fish, then digging the other end of the stick into the ground to hold it up to the fire.

"I think you should have a few words with Stein... Maybe you'll realize why they attacked us," Katana countered as she did the same with her fish. She licked her lips lightly as the fish began to cook. The two girls ate their food as the sun set behind the mountains. Little did they know that they were being watched from the shadows of the surrounding forest.

"They seem completely normal right now... And the one with Red hair... She has black blood..." The slender figure said softly.

" No one is normal... Not really..." A feminine voice said to him. He nodded his head slightly. A large blackened bulge escaped from the lean figure.

"We should eat her soul!" He grunted, pounding on the others head.

" No! Stop! Medusa said not to!" He whined as his head was hit. The blob slunk back into the slender frame of the pinkette.

"I want to see something before we do anything... Don't touch them Crona..." And with that the voice left Crona alone in the silence.

"Ok... But I do like her hair... I don't know how to deal with her though..."

The next morning the girls awoke with stiff bodies. The found their way back to the DWMA without too much trouble, though both girls were tired and needed a good shower. As they finished the report with Lord Death and went to their room. The first thing Katana did was take a shower before laying herself down on her bed and moaned into her blankets.

"Omg... I missed this..." She murmured as she hugged a pillow to her chest. Zero glanced at her as she pulled off her shirt and pants.

"We were only gone for one night... It wasn't that bad..." She said as she got ready for her shower. Katana just threw the pillow at Zero's head and relaxed. Zero grinned at Katana before making her way to the bathroom so she could wash up.

Katana rolled over onto her back so she could look at the ceiling of their dorm room. She let her mind roam over everything that had happened over the past few weeks they had been going to this school. It seemed to be making them stronger. They had gotten their first Soul! Katana couldn't help but feel proud of herself and her partner. Everything seemed to be working out now. She jerked slightly at the sound of a knock on the dorm room door. She hopped up and opened the door, only to be surprised by Kid. When he looked up at her he sucked in a deep breath and began speaking really fast.

"Wouldyouliketogoouttodinnerw ithme?" He gushed. Katana blinked a few times at him before laughing.

"I would love to go out to dinner with you," She said smiling at him. He blushed lightly at her.
"Just let me leave Zero a note so she'll know were I am..." She turned and grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled down that she was going out for dinner with Kid. She pulled on her shoes and closed the door behind her. Kid lead her off the school grounds to a seemingly nice place.

Zero opened the door to the bathroom, dressed in Pjs.

"Katana?" She asked looking around. She stepped into the kitchen area and spotted the note. She couldn't stop the grin that came to her face. They soooo liked each other... She set the note down and turned on the stove so she could make herself some pasta. Zero brought the water to a boil before adding in the noodles. She stirred in the silent room. No music and no Katana. Zero felt a small pang of loneliness in her gut as she finished her making her meal. She placed some of it onto a plate and sat down to eat.

The silence ate at her as she ate, making this seem more like a scary movie. Zero finished her food quickly before heading to her bed and placing her head phones on her head and cranking her music loudly. She fell asleep shortly after, and didn't even notice when Katana came back and crawled into her own bed.
