I woke up the next morning with a throbbing migrain and I am super disoriented. I looked around my room, when did I get home? I looked through the window which was shining brightly and made my eyes hurt. Ugh, I feel like crap... What did I do last night? I remember trying to stall my friends from realizing Cumo's laugh, having a couple of drinks of bitter punch, then it all kind of got fuzzy. I got out of bed and I felt a little cold, I looked around for a robe or blanket to wrap around me, then I realized I wasn't wearing anything... I'm completely naked. What happened to my shorts?! And my underwear!? I hear Maka turn over, which meant she was awake. I grabbed the nearest set of my underwear and put them on before she caught sight of me. In my struggle to put on my underwear, I slipped on a sock and fell hard on the floor. Maka instantly got up still covering her torso with the blanket.
"Crona! Are you alright?" She asked me. I then realized that she wasn't wearing anything either. My face got super hot and I swear my head was about to explode. I covered my face with my hands and tried not to pass out or get a bloody nose, that would be embarrasing.
"Crona, talk to me, are you alright?" She asked again.
"Y-y-y-y-yeah." I couldn't speak. The stuttering is horrible, I hope she doesn't make me talk anymore.
"Okay, what are you doing? Get off the floor." I looked back down to my legs and saw that the bed sheets were covering me up and that my underwear were still at my knees. Phew, thank you sheets... I pulled up my underwear the rest of the way and stood up. I looked away from Maka trying not to invade her privacy or anything.
"Look at me, what's wrong?" I looked at her and covered my face with my hands. My face got even hotter and my underpants got a little tight. I sat down on the bed and brought my knees to my chest so she wouldn't notice.
"Why won't you talk to me?" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her examine herself and realize why I wasn't looking at her. Her face turned a little pink and she covered up a little more.
"You didn't have a problem looking at me last night. What's the difference now?" she asked me.
"W-w-what? I d-d-did that?" I heard a car honk outside which made my head hurt like I just got hit by a train. I squeaked on accident and started to rub my temples hoping the migrain would go away.
"Ohhh, I get it now. You don't remember, do you?"
"N-n-no. I d-d-don't e-even r-remember coming home l-l-last n-n-night." I answered. Her face turned even more pink and she looked dissapointed. She wrapped the blanket around her more and got out of the bed. I uncovered my face and watched her drop the blanket, which made me grab my pillow and cover my face. I thought she was going to the bathroom or grabbing something! My legs were suffocating (my underwear is tight to no explanation) and my head was slowly melting in lava (my face is so hot and the migrain makes it no better).
"I'm going to get dressed then make breakfast. When i'm done, you should get dressed too and meet me in the kitchen." she said in a cheery voice. I could hear the hint of sadness in it, but didn't say anything. I waited to uncover my face until I heard her leave the room. Once I knew she was gone, I slowly got up and got dressed in a black long sleeved shirt and skinny jeans. I walked into the kitchen and made sure that Maka couldn't see my pants.
"Just sit at the table, breakfast will be done in about five minutes." Maka said turning whatever she was cooking in the pan. It smelled like eggs. After a few minutes of waiting Maka toasted some bread and put what was in the pan in between two slices of the toast. She placed the sandwiches on plates and set them on the table.
"Dig in!" she announced. She was a little loud which made my head hurt a little, but I ignored it and looked down at the plate in front of me. I slowly grabbed my plate and started to eat. An egg sandwich, creative and yummy. I finished my sandwich and started to feel a little sick. After she was finished eating too, she grabbed our plates and set them in the sink. I layed back in my chair and let my head slump backwards. Hopefully the stomach ache and the headache go away.
"Here take this, it'll make you feel better." she said placing something in front of me. I looked down to see it was a small glass of water and some pills. I took them as she instructed and layed my head back again.
"Alright, you don't mind if I ask you what you do remember from last night?"
"N-no."
"Okay. Whats the last thing you remember?" she asked me.
"Drinking really bitter punch and talking to you guys. Everything else is fuzzy and it hurts if I try to think of what else happened. Well, I remember you yelling at Black Star, I don't know what about, but thats it." I answered.
"Hmm. Okay, I was hoping you'd remember more. I'll have to beat Black Star again." She started to sound mad.
"W-what did he do?"
"He got you drunk." She said bluntly.
"D-drunk? What's that?" I asked. I know it involves alcohol, I don't know what that is either.
"He spiked all the drinks, which means he poured alcohol in the juices. You unfortunately were the only one who drank the juices. Everyone else had water, don't know why..." She started to think.
"What's alcohol?" I asked her.
"You probably shouldn't know. It was bad enough you were exposed to it, just let it be." she said.
"O-okay." I don't want to make her mad, so i'll let it go. I suddenly had a sickly urge in my stomach which had me running to the bathroom. I could hear Maka run down the hallway as I started to vomit in the toilet. My migrain came back which made me groan.
"Cron- oh... are you okay?" she asked me as she started to rub my back.
"Not really." I answered. I still feel really sick, my stomach is turning and my head is pounding. She grabbed the bucket that was underneath the bathroom sink and set it next to the couch in the living room. When she came back, she helped me to the couch and layed me down. She grabbed a pillow and blanket and handed them to me, then she turned the t.v. on.
"I'll go get you a glass of water. I have to go to the market today. I was hoping you wouldn't be sick and could go with me, but looks like that isn't going to happen. I'll be home soon though, okay?"
"Mhm." I answered, "will you tell me what happened last night when you get back?" I asked her.
"Yes, I will. Be prepared though." Maka said. She tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear, smiled and then walked to the bathroom. I presume that she's getting ready to leave. I glanced over at the clock, which said it's 10:30 a.m.. I guess we really slept in... Maka waved by as she left and I watched t.v. until I eventually fell asleep. I woke up about two hours later from the knock on the door. My stomach is still gurgling but my migrain went away and subsituted it with a headache. I wonder if Maka's home yet... I answered the door to see Kid standing there, he looked worried.
"Hello Crona- are you feeling alright?" he asked me.
"Is it that obvious?" I said, "don't answer that. No, I feel terrible. Anyway, what do you need?" I asked him.
"I'm sorry about your illness. Have you seen Cumo? She left early this morning before I was awake. I haven't been able to find her and no one says that they've seen her." He said. I then remembered what Cumo said last night...
"Kid, I would go through this really long talk with you, but I can barely focus. It's hard for me to stand right now, so all I can say is to ask your father. I want you to remember this, Cumo is protecting you. Don't think this is anyone else's fault but hers, she loves you and doesn't want to see you hurt. I may end up in the same place as her, soon." Just then my headache decided to throb a little which made me wince and grab my head.
"I see... I'm sorry, again. I won't bother you any longer. I hope to see you at school tomorrow." He said.
"Okay, sorry about the mystery part of this situation. I'll see you tomorrow." I said. He walked down the hall with his shoulders slumped and I closed the door. I feel bad that I just left him with that, but I wanted his father to tell him the situation. Maybe then, Lord Death will realize how much Kid and Cumo care for eachother. I layed back down on the couch hoping that I could fall back asleep. Obviously Maka isn't home or else she would've joined me at the door to see who it was. I wonder what was taking her so long... I tried not to think of the possibilities, that would only worry me. Also, didn't Kid say that Cumo left before he woke up? Cumo lives at the DWMA, so she must've stayed the night. I don't want to think of the other possibility of what could've happened with them last night... My headache was slowly fading away, but my stomach still churned. I finally drifted off to sleep at about 12:45. I woke up in Medusa's hideout, wearing my old black dress/robe thingy. Why am I here again? I walked around trying to find any exit, but there was no way out. I heard a snake hiss and I turned around to see Medusa, she was transparent.
"You have returned, good," she giggled, "It has started, you should know that. Can you feel it?" She asked.
"F-feel what?"
"Don't play stupid Crona. You have all of the symptoms, you just haven't realized them. That girl definitely has the symptoms, then again she is a witch... She's more susceptible to it. Now that I think about it, you should be more susceptible to it than her... Hm, I might have to run some tests." She laughs. At the word tests I shivered.
"W-what do y-you w-want?" I tried asking.
"You. You remember your mission don't you?" Now that I think about it, I do remember. But that was a dream, and so is this. Why am I so afraid of her?
"O-of course I do. T-this is only a d-d-dream. Y-your n-not r-real, there is n-no k-kishin, i'm not falling into m-madness, I just need to wake up!" I yelled at her. Medusa started to look angry, which terrified me.
"You think this is a dream!? You pathetic piece of trash, if this was a dream I wouldn't be a ghost, I would be a strong witch. If this was a dream than you wouldn't be terrified! If this was a dream this wouldn't hurt!" Just then, one of her vector arrows swooped by my face and cut my cheek badly. It took a second, but the cut started to burn and bleed.
"Do you still think this is a dream you piece of trash? To think that i'd pick you out of all to give this mission to. I could've gave this mission to Eruka, or the Mizune sisters, even Free. Instead I chose you, but here you are insulting the fact that i'm being nice." Medusa said. Nice? Did she just say nice? Does she really think this is being nice?
"S-sorry L-l-lady M-m-medusa." I apologized. I'm even more terrified than before.
"Sorry doesn't cut it, you have to make it up to me. Don't dissapoint me, or else." she said in a dark tone, "Now, for your punishment, i'll be sure that I visit Maka tonight in her dreams." She laughs darkly.
"D-don't you dare!" I screamed. I covered my mouth with my hands quickly.
"Or what? You'll come beat me? Kill me even? Come on Crona, you couldn't even touch me during our first fight. If I hear you talk back to me once more, you'll regret it. Don't disobey me you insignificant child!" Another vector arrow came to my face and cut my other cheek. She laughed a little and decided to take on her serious face.
"Now, listen carefully. Your black blood is restoring, you will fall into madness again. Don't fight it or i'll have to push you into it, which will be more painfull than being rejected. You remember when I injected the black blood into you for the first time, it's exactly like that," she giggled a little then clapped her hands together, "For yelling at me earlier, i'll give you a chance to make it up and avoid punishment."
"Y-yes? I-i'll d-do anything." I shouldn't of said anything...
"I want you to hurt Maka." She said coldly.
"H-hurt M-maka? No! I-i can't, anyone but her." I pleaded.
"My mind is made up, you either hurt her or you may not see her next to you tomorrow morning. Don't disobey me and you'll be left alone... for now."
"P-please, anyone but h-her!"
"Get out of my sight you disgusting piece of trash." Medusa faded until I couldn't see her anymore. Then I couldn't move, something was moving around my body. I looked down and seen snaked wrapping around me.
"Get off! Help!" I screamed. Once the snaked got to my ears they started to whisper my name, then the whispering turned to talking, then to yelling. I continued to struggle and scream for help. Everything suddenly got pitch black and I could move my arms. I threw my fist at what I thought was a snake as I continued to scream.
"Crona! Crona! Ow!" I heard a female voice say. Then I heard a thump and small whining sounds. I opened my eyes to see that I was on the floor staring at the ceiling. As soon as I realized who's the female voice was I shot up off the floor and turned to see that Maka was sitting on the floor with her hands to her nose.
"Maka? Oh, Maka! I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you. What did I do? Does it hurt?" I was in front of her trying to take her hands off of her nose so I could see what I did.
"It's alright, it's just a bloody nose. Would you mind getting me some tissues?" She asked me. I nodded and ran to the tissue box we keep on our counter and grabbed a handfull. I brought them to her and watched as she wiped her nose then stuck a couple pieces of tissue in the bleeding holes.
"I-im sorry, I swear I didn't mean to. I was having a nightmare and-" Maka put her hand on my shoulder and with a smile on her face she said, "It's okay Crona. I understand. I'm worried about you, are you alright?" she asked me.
"I-i'm fine. It was just a nightmare."
"That was some nightmare, I came home and seen that you were napping. So, I quietly put groceries away and was about to turn off the t.v. when you started to mumble, then the mumbling became screaming. I tried to wake you but you were screaming and flailing your arms. I started to yell your name hoping that you'd wake up, then you accidentally punched me in the nose." She explained, "Hey, what happened to your cheeks?"
"What about my cheeks?" I asked her.
"You've got scratches on both sides, they're scabbed over though. When did this happen?"
"Scratches?" I touched my cheeks and I could feel the roughness of the scabs.
"Crona, what happened?" she asked me.
"I d-dont know... I d-" I decided not to tell her that Medusa cut me in my dream.
"You what?"
"I was clumsy and scratched my face on the coffee table when I fell earlier, it must of happened again when I fell off of the couch." I told her.
"But, how could you have scabs already?"
"Maybe the black blood did it's job since they were small scratches." I told her.
"Okay then. Do you still feel sick?" she asked me.
"No. I feel a lot better." I answered.
"Good, since we both missed lunch... How about a small snack?" She said with a bright smile.
"Sounds nice." I returned the smile and she brought me to the kitchen. She grabbed a couple of plates and a package of something. She opened it up to reveal some soft yellow bowl looking things and a small cup of a strawberry mixture. I was totally puzzled.
"Strawberry shortcake, it's really good. Especially with some whipped cream." Maka said. She grabbed some of the yellow things and set them on the plates while I opened the cup filled with strawberry filling. She took the cup and scooped its contents into each of the yellow bowls then topped them off with whipped cream. She set them on the table and we began to eat. It was delicous, sweet and soft. I had a tingling feeling up my spine.
"Hey, wheres mine?" Ragnarok said. Maka's mouth dropped as she stuttered, "R-ragnarok?"
"Hell yeah its me, now give me one of those!" I was totally confused. He hasn't made an appearance forever and now he decides to show up? What is going on? Just a bit ago I punched Maka in the face, I have scabs on my cheeks where Medusa cut me IN MY DREAM, we started to eat shortcake and now Ragnarok joins the puzzle game? When is the confusion ever going to end? Maka got up and started to make Ragnarok one of the shortcakes.
"H-how? W-why?" I started but couldn't find the words.
"Why what? Quit looking at me like that. Do you want your first beating?" Ragnarok said pulling on my hair.
"Ow! Stop, that hurts!" I whined. Maka placed the plate down.
"Quit bullying Crona. Is that really the first thing you do after being gone for so long?" Maka said. Ragnarok let go of my hair and ate his shortcake... and almost the whole plate.
"What do you mean by gone you cow? I never left. I just didn't want to hang around during your guys mushy lovey dovey crap. You guys make me barf." Maka rolled her eyes and took our plates to the sink.
"Quit calling Maka a cow, we've gone over this so many times." I told him.
"Your right, we have gone over this many times. My answer is still the same. No! Why should I quit calling her a cow if she is one?"
"That would be nice-" I started but was interupted.
"I'm not nice, never will be." He said. I gave up and just let him say what he wanted. Ragnarok is a total pain in the butt, but he makes it seem normal. I hate to say it but, I kinda missed when he stopped coming out to annoy everyone.
"Crona, your appointment with Stein is in a hour, you want to get going?" Maka asked me.
"Oh yeah, forgot about that. Yeah let's go." Ragnarok decided to stay perched on top of my head. We made our way down to Stein's lab/house. It was cold, I could tell because Maka was shivering. It was lightly snowing and made the park look like a winter wonderland as we passed through. We arrived at Stein's house and before we could even get close to the doorstep, Marie flung open the door and squished us with one of her death grip hugs.
"I missed you guys! Come in, get out of the cold." She said pushing us in her house. We started to take off our boots and I helped Maka take her coat off.
"Quit it! Just sit down already, you guys are disgusting." Ragnarok said. Maka glared at Ragnarok as we sat down on the couch. Marie came in with tea.
"I made tea before you guys came, its still hot too!" Marie said starting to fill our cups.
"Thank you Marie, it's very nice of you to make tea everytime we come over." Maka said.
"Its no problem, plus the tea makes us warm. It makes us more inviting to conversation." Marie said with a smile. She poured another cup and made 'Ragnarok style' tea. Stein came in and motioned for me to step into his lab. He had to double take when he saw Ragnarok. I entered his lab and could definitley smell cleaning supplies, almost like a doctors office.
"Don't mind the smell, Marie cleaned it." He said turning on his computer, "I see that Ragnarok is feeling better. Deciding to make an appearance, I see."
"What do you mean feel better? I just hibernated for a while." Ragnarok said.
"Sure... Crona, i'm going to take a blood test." I extended my arm for him to put the needle in. The needle broke on impact with my skin.
"Huh, thats strange. I didn't want to ask this, but could you cut your wrist so I can get a blood sample?" I nodded and cut my wrist with one of Stein's scalpels. The blood oozed a little bit into a cup Stein was holding, then the wound scabbed over almost instantly. Stein raised his eyebrows for a moment in curiosity and set the cup down.
"By the way, what happened to your face?" Stein asked me. My hands shot up to my cheeks.
"I fell... twice."
"Twice? You just happened to cut both of your cheeks in the same spot?" His glasses glared a little.
"Y-yes." I stuttered. Stupid stuttering, now he definitely knows i'm lieing. The computer beeped and Stein looked at my results. He scratched his head a little and entered something in. It beeped again.
"Interesting... Crona, did you know that your blood is at a normal count now? It's still producing, too..."
"W-what?"
"Maybe its because- no not possible... Crona, do you have any idea why this happened? Did you do something?" He continued to enter things into the computer. I have no idea what he's doing.
"N-no, I didn't." I answered.
"Strange, i'll have to do more tests. I guess I won't have to use my experiment then..."
"E-experiment?" I said nervously.
"Just kidding. I found Medusa's book about black blood. I created some just in case your blood count was getting too low. I keep the book for later use though." Stein said.
"I thought Ragnarok was the black blood."
"The black blood is it's own thing. To make it deadlier than it already is, you add a weapon of mass destruction, you can also add other things... Then again, 'mass destruction' could mean multiple things. A shotgun is considered that. So, Ragnarok being a demon sword was the perfect weapon to melt into your blood."
"Was this used before?" I asked him hoping he would say no.
"Sort of. Your the first melted weapon. Cumo is the first melted soul."
"Soul?" i'm confused.
"Arachne didn't want to meld a weapon to Cumo. She wanted her to be a strong witch, Arachne cut some of her soul into Cumo. Cumo, can be a dangerous witch, more dangerous than 10 witches combined... So far she has done well to keep it controlled." I could see that Stein was going to add something else but kept it to himself.
"Oh... well i'm happy she doesn't have voices and a living body come out of her." I said purposely to annoy Ragnarok.
"Hey you brat! I didn't ask to get stuck to you either!" Ragnarok started pulling on my hair hard and pulling on my ears. I held in my 'ows' and 'stop its' so I wouldn't worry Maka. She would probably think that Stein was doing surgery or something on me.
"Alright knock that off," Stein said pulling Ragnarok off of me. Ragnarok finally let go, pouted then turned back into my blood. "Well anyway, Cumo does have voices. Her name is Deity."
"Deity?" Isn't that another word for god?
"Yes, she was named that to signafy her strength. Deity is a weapon, sort of. She is what Cumo calls 'Black Magic'. One of the strongest and deadliest magics to ever exist." Stein said.
"Wow..." Is all I could say. I don't know what to say. How do I react to this?
"Yes, well I guess the appointment is over. So you may leave, but Marie has invited you and Maka to stay for dinner. If you'd like of course..." Stein said.
"I'm sure we can stay." I answered. We left his lab and walked in on Maka and Marie's conversation about girls emotions. We both stopped in our tracks and questioned whether we should go on or go back.
"Oh, you guys are done! I'll go start dinner." Marie said jumping up. Stein followed her into the kitchen.
"Come sit," Maka said patting the couch, "what are the test results?" I sat down where she told me to sit.
"I'm perfectly healthy."
"That's great!" Maka said hugging me.
"Yeah, miracle I guess." I said. She let go of me.
"I guess? No, it's definitley a miracle." She said with a big smile. I smiled back. I'm never going to get tired of her wonderfull smile. I blushed a little at the thought.
"Want to practice soon?" I asked her. She was surprised at my question.
"You want to practice? Even after what happened last time?"
"Well we don't have to practice there, we can go somewhere else. Plus, I feel stronger and so does Ragnarok."
"Okay, but what about your boot? Isn't it going to be hard to practice in that?"
"Oh yeah... We'll figure something out, if not i'll just practice with it on."
"Do you guys like dumplings and rice?" Marie popped her head out of the kitchen.
"Yeah." Maka and I said in sync, we giggled. Marie smiled a little and went back to the kitchen. After a while we could smell the food and we knew that it was ready. Dinner was nice with them, we had funny conversations and we seemed like a family. We stayed a while after dinner chatting. At about 8 we decided to leave.
"You don't have to leave and walk in the freezing cold snow. You could stay the night here if you'd like." Marie said stopping us at the door.
"That would be very nice, but we have school tomorrow. So, it'll probably be best to sleep at home tonight." Maka said politely.
"Oh, I forgot that tomorrow was Monday. Can't wait until I get back to teaching."
"What?" Me and Maka said.
"The baby-" Stein started.
"Tyler." Marie interrupted him.
"Tyler, is too heavy for Marie to carry up and down the DWMA stairs everyday. So she's taking maternity leave and a little time off after the bab- Tyler is born." He said. Me and Maka understood. We said our goodbyes and walked home. It got colder and Maka shivered more than normal. I brought her close to me as we walked. I blushed but I could feel Maka getting warmer.
"I'm going to have to buy a thicker coat." Maka said. I laughed.
"Yeah, maybe some thicker boots too." I said. She giggled a little and hugged me tighter. I blushed again and she teased me about it all the way home.
"Why do you have to tease me about it!" I was telling Maka. (my face was as red as a tomato)
"Because your reaction is too cute!" She said opening the door. Our conversation ended when we saw Kid on the couch. His hands are covering his face. Is he crying?
"Kid? How did you get in, how long have you been here?" Maka said walking up to him. Kid looked up at her. His face was really red and his eyes were puffy. I was right, he was crying.
"Are you alright?" I asked him, while I closed the door. I walked up to him.
"No, i'm not alright! I don't understand what's going on, Cumo won't talk to me, my father avoids any conversation about her, and I snuck into your apartment to talk to you."
"Cumo? What happened to Cumo?" Maka asked.
"She's locked herself in the DWMA cells." I answered.
"Do you feel well enough to tell me now?" Kid asked me. I nodded. Maka looked at the both of us totally confused, "alright explain, i'm lost in the conversation." she said.
"Okay, well..." I sat down next to Kid, "Cumo and I are feeling waves of madness. She's been experiencing them worst than me. Her effects started last night, remember her random bursts of laughter? That was only the beginning. I'm surprised i'm not feeling the urge of hysterical laughter and destruction."
"But why did she go to you and not me for help?" Kid said crying again.
"She doesn't want to hurt you, or anyone else. She came to me because she knew that I could understand her urges, and how bad they were. I hate to say this, but I might be in the same place as her soon."
"You... the blood..." Maka couldn't find her words, "is that why your healthy again?" she asked, tears filling in her eyes. I nodded. I hate to think or say it, but madness is the thing that keeps me alive. Hopefully it's not the same for Cumo. Why did all of this have to happen?
"Your healthy now? You went from near death to completely normal in one night?" Kid asked.
"That's how the madness works for me. I hate it, I can't be n-normal." I hate to say this, "I'll be the n-next one in t-those c-cells, i'll have n-no f-feeling other than p-pain, d-destruction... and... the u-urge t-to... k-k-k-kill." And let the stuttering begin, I hate the stuttering especially in deep conversations. Maka and Kid both looked at me shocked.
"But you won't kill, Medusa is the one who made you kill." Maka said.
"I c-can't be s-sure that she's c-completely g-gone."
"What do you mean? I slayed her, she's dead, no longer in existance."
"W-witches d-don't always w-work like that. M-m-medusa is a-attempting t-to regain form. At t-the m-moment s-she is only a s-spirit."
"Impossible, the kishin hunter annialated her. I watched her dissapear." Maka said.
"What if M-m-medusa f-found a l-loop h-hole? A k-kindness that canceled out her c-complete d-death."
"Medusa had no kindness. She could never find kindness, no witch can." she rethought about what she said and continued, "well maybe some witches... sorry Kid, I didn't mean it like that."
"It's alright, I knew what you meant." He said.
"Crona, nothing is going to happen. Medusa is dead." she said.
"Maka, remember when I h-h-hit you t-today? When I w-woke from m-my n-nightmare a-and you asked about the c-cuts on my f-face? I was dreaming that M-m-medusa was t-talking t-to m-me, giving me a m-mission. I denied e-everything she said and she t-threw v-vector a-arrows at my f-face, they cut my cheeks. After we s-stopped t-talking, her snakes s-surrounded m-me and I t-threw p-punches t-to get them off of m-me." I said.
"That's impossible, you told me you fell. Don't lie to me Crona."
"I-i'm not l-lieing now. E-even S-stein doubted t-that I f-fell."
"It's not possible Crona! Medusa isn't coming back!" she was yelling.
"Whether M-m-medusa is c-coming back or n-not, the m-madness is s-still g-going to send m-me to the same place. I'm l-locking m-myself up before that h-happens." I yelled back. I stood up hoping to calm her, but she backed away from me.
"Even after all we've been through and what happened last night, you still want to leave me!?"
"I'm not l-leaving you! I'm p-protecting you from m-me, I don't want to hurt you! I don't remember what happened last night, you won't tell me!" Tears swelled in my eyes. I hate to yell at her, this arguing isn't helping anything.
"You don't remember last night? Of course you don't!" She yelled annoyed. Kid got up and slowly walked to the door and whispered, "i'm leaving now..."
"How could I? The last thing I remember is you yelling at Black Star, everything else is fuzzy and it hurts to think about it. I woke up totally disoriented and confused! Just tell me what happened!" I yelled back.
"Alright i'll tell you, we made love!" She yelled. I stopped, I couldn't move or say anything. Kid stood at the door. Oh geez, he hears or sees everything. I could feel my face heat up.
"Maybe I shouldn't of said it like that..." Maka said, the anger leaving her face.
"Is he alright?" Kid asked. My face continued to heat up until it felt like my blood was magma.
"Crona, i'm sorry. I shouldn't of said it like that." she poked my cheek. Flash backs of last night overwhelmed me. I could feel something running out of my nose and I blacked out. I woke up staring at the ceiling in my bedroom. I could feel something cool on my head. I touched it and I realized that a cool rag was on my forehead.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Maka asked me.
"Fine. What day is it?" I asked her.
"Monday, November 29th to be really specific." She said. I bolted out of bed and she pushed me back down. "sleep." she said. What time did I go to sleep last night? What happened after Maka yelled at me?
"But we have school, we can't be missing it."
"It's alright, it's only 4. We still have 2 hours to sleep." she said.
"How long have you been awake? What happened last night?" I asked.
"I slept all night, I woke up about an hour ago and couldn't go back to sleep."
"What happened last night?" I asked again.
"You got a bloody nose and passed out."
"Wha-?" then the flash backs hit me again. My face was getting hot and I covered it with my hands.
"Are you going to pass out again?"
"N-no." I answered.
"Are you going to go back to sleep?"
"N-no."
"I guess i'll make breakfast and get ready. It's a bit early, but that's alright." She said getting out of the bed.
"O-okay." My hands suddenly left my face and Maka's lips clashed with mine. My face got hotter and Maka let my hands go.
"Did I ever tell you that I love it when you blush?" she giggled.
Love that phrase! I always thought that Crona's blush was adorable. I know it's been awhile but internet has been a (insert cuss word here) to me. I know its terrible waiting for the next chapter, but hopefully its been worth the wait for you guys =) School has started sadly, I started my sophmore year so writing is getting difficult. I promise to use any extra time I have to write a chapter though. Every review, suggestion, view, etc has been a super boost to me. It makes me so happy to see that people are actually enjoying this and going through this with me. I'll try not to be a mushy and start typing softy words and make people cry. So, continue to review and suggest something! A PM will always be answered as soon as I get it! I promise =) Wow, so many promises XD Its worth promising to you guys. I'll see you next chapter! Bye Bye!
