My madness has been slow, but only because i've been fighting it off. I've been feeling more tired lately from my efforts of staying sane. I can't control my thoughts anymore, I get them whenever they decide to come. It is finally Monday, the first day we start practice. After school ended, everyone joined together and we walked to the forest behind the DWMA. As we were walking up to it, I realized that Stein was waiting there for us. Wasn't he just in the class? How did he get all the way out here so fast? I looked at the others faces to see if they were just as confused as me, everybody else looked as if they had expected it. What am I missing here?
"Whats wrong Crona?" Maka asked me.
"Wasn't he just in the classroom? How did he get all of the way out here?" She looked somewhat annoyed and she sighed. What does that mean?
"None of us know, its just something really creepy he does." Maka replied. Ragnarok popped out of my back.
"Why the hell are we out here? Its freezing and i'm hungry!" Ragnarok complained.
"We're training, we can eat when we get home." I told him. He slumped over.
"It's freezing! Let's go inside where its warm, your killing me."
"We'll only be out here for a couple of hours, you'll be fine." He grunted and decided to stay perched on my head. Stein directed us to a path that was somewhat clear, but still covered in trees. As we were going up the hill to our training spot, Maka slipped on some ice. I had an instant reaction and grabbed her before she fell on her bottom.
"Thanks Crona." she smiled at me. I blushed slightly.
"Y-your welcome. A-are you okay?" I asked her.
"Fine, because of you. I probably would've gone all the way down the hill if I would've hit the ice."
"P-probably." She gave me a pat on my back and she continued to walk. I could feel my face get hotter. Theresa looked at me and did a double take. She started to giggle.
"What?" I asked her.
"Oh nothing. Just that your blushing. And I know that it isn't the cold thats making your cheeks red." she giggled as she caught up with Maka. I covered my cheeks with my hands and walked behind them. Kid looked over at me and gave me the strangest look.
"What are you doing?" he asked me.
"N-nothing." I answered. He looked at me for a second longer then shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk. Their notice of my blush only made it worse. My face feels like its on fire. We finally reached the top of the hill.
"Alright, here we are. I'll let you stretch and warm up for a minute." He said setting down a thermo with some styrofoam cups. Everyone dove to grab cups and pour the substance out of the thermo.
"What's in there?" I asked Maka.
"Hot chocolate." she answered.
"What's that?" I questioned.
"You don't know what hot chocolate is?" then she thought for a moment, "oh, sorry. I meant... Hot chocolate is a warm drink that someone drinks usually during the winter. It's very hot, so it warms you up fast. Its hot water or milk depending on your preference, with chocolate powder and it's super yummy if you add marshmallows." she said.
"Sounds good."
"It is, try some." She poured some of the steaming, creamy light-brown liquid into my cup. She handed it to me and watched me as I took a gulp. I had to pause for a moment because it was so hot and it burned my tongue. After the burning subsided, a blast of chocolate flavor overwhelmed my taste buds. I loved it.
"Don't forget me! You gave the dumbass some, give me some too!" Ragnarok said bouncing on my head.
"Okay, okay. Calm down. Here." she said handing Ragnarok a cup. He poured it down his throat not even savoring the flavor. He threw the cup down and gave a relaxed sigh as he perched back on my head. I continued to drink mine and watched as everyone engaged in conversation. Maka and Theresa stood by me.
"So, you think we're gonna get anymore snow?" Theresa asked.
"Well, this is Nevada. We usually don't get much snow. I guess we could get about another inch or so." Maka replied to her. Theresa picked up some snow in her hand and examined it.
"I used to love snow." She said pouring it back to the ground.
"Why used to? Where did you live before?" I asked her.
"I used to live in New York. We got tons of snow, I loved to play in it. Especially when I was a little kid."
"Later we can go sledding." Maka told her.
"Really? Is the snow thick enough for that?"
"Well, no not really. But theres this certain hill that it doesn't matter how much snow there is, you always slide down it, its fast." Maka said.
"Thank you Maka." Theresa said. Maka gave Theresa a bright smile and continued to drink her hot chocolate. For about half an hour we drank hot chocolate, stretched, and chatted.
"Alright enough dilly dallying. I suggest that all weapons change into form now." Stein said. Ragnarok formed into my hand and I watched as everyone else glowed brightly then turned into a weapon. EAT THEIR SOULS. I shook my head and got rid of the thought. Maka worriedly looked at me, but I shrugged my shoulders and mouthed 'dizzy'. She didn't look like she believed me but she looked away and payed attention to Stein.
"It is 5 o' clock. You will practice for 3 hours. I want to see everyone be able to fully resonate with their weapon easily. If you do not succeed, you will be docked 90% of your grade and you won't leave until you get it right." Stein explained to us. We all nodded our heads.
"For the first hour, you will be swinging/shooting and practicing stance. For the second hour, you will be resonating with your weapon, then connecting to the rest of the group. For the third hour, you will be sparring an opponent, which I will pick out for you." Stein said. I heard some groans around our circle. Stein stepped off to the side to watch us.
"You may begin. Don't waste any time, get to it." Stein said before slumping against a tree. I stood in my normal stance. Right foot forward, my left arm gripping the right one for support, back straight. I started to swing as I normally would do. It felt a little akward because I haven't done this for a while. I used the tree as a target. I swung at it constantly, not making full contact though. I would probably cut the tree off if I came in contact with it. I can't use any of my black blood moves, I would hurt someone or cut the tree down. I watched Maka twirl and swing Theresa like a pro. She has a lot of skill, she has great stances that keep her balanced and in control, she moves quickly and smart, she has multiple moves that could defeat any enemy. I have practically nothing but my stance, and my black blood. All of the sudden I heard a tree crack and I swung my arm fast enough to hit whatever was coming towards me. When I looked at what happened, I was slightly shocked. Maka had gotten too close to the tree behind her and cut it down. The tree went in my direction and would've smashed me if I hadn't of swung my arm. One side of the tree was facing towards me and the part that I cut to save me was in the middle of all of us. Maka looked at what she did and started to freak out.
"Crona! Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't realize how close I was to the tree. I didn't mean to cut that down I swear! It didn't hit you, did it?" She started to go on and on.
"Maka, i'm fine." I told her. She stopped talking and looked at me. She hugged me, which made me blush.
"Okay, i'm sorry."
"I told you to watch for the tree behind you. But you didn't listen." Theresa said, her face on her weapon blade. Maka sweat dropped.
"Yeah, maybe I should've listened." Maka said.
"Alright, I'll move the tree. Get back to work. Maka, this place is made for you guys to tear up so don't feel too bad about cutting down a tree. Just try not to injure anyone when you do it." Stein said picking up one side of the tree and dragging it off. Gee, he is freaking strong. I don't think I would've been able to pick up one of the branches on it. That's a big tree too, so I can't imagine how much it weighs. Black Star laughed at Maka for a minute and continued to work on his project. Maka pulled out a book and threatened that if he didn't shut up, she'd shove the book down his windpipe. He stopped laughing and Maka calmed down. We continued to swing/shoot our weapons with our stances for the hour. After the hour ended, we were tired and out of breath. Stein approached us with another thermo full of hot chocolate. We had half an hour to chat and to drink our hot chocolate. Stein walked towards me and Maka.
"How are you doing?" Stein asked us.
"I think my balance is a little off, but I can still control my moves." Maka said.
"I'm afraid to use my black blood, I would hurt someone." I said.
"Maka, your doing good. Just watch out for the trees." Maka blushed in embarresment, "Crona, you shouldn't be scared of that. Use it, your going to have to when we sparr. Practice as much as you can, don't be afraid." Stein told us.
"Alright, thank you." I told him.
"Marie wants you guys to come over tommorow for dinner, you can stay the night if you'd like." Stein said.
"I don't think we'll be doing anything, so yeah we would be happy to." Maka replied. Stein only nodded then walked away and yelled for everyone to pay attention.
"After watching you practice, I think your warmed up. Start to resonate with your partner, then start to swing again. I want you all to notice how much stronger you get just by bonding your souls together." Stein said.
"I'm sure we've all already resonated with our partner before." Black Star said.
"Not everyone, and we need the practice. We have a new kishin that has risen, he is much stronger than Asura was. Thank goodness he's a good distance away from us, or else we'd be feeling his madness wavelength at a great amount. Currently, he is hiding underground to gain his energy. We need to eliminate him before he completely restores himself." Stein lectured.
"Pfft, he can't be that hard. I already surpassed a god! I can beat him no problem." Black Star boasted.
"Black Star.." Tsubaki warned.
"What? I'm obviously a much stronger god than he is. Why should I practice if I can go kick his ass now." Black Star started to laugh. Stein quickly ran behind Black Star and shot his soul wavelength into him. Black Star had no idea what was going on until he felt Stein's hand jab into his back. Black Star fell over while Tsubaki tended to him.
"Alright enough of that. Anyone else wanting to argue?" Stein said. We all stared at Black Star with blank faces. Stein nodded.
"That's what I thought. Alright start resonating and practicing some more. Ready, go!" Stein said as he rested himself on a tree. I turned around to the tree that I was practicing on. I guess I could use my black blood, but not too much. I don't know what the madness wavelengths would've done to my strength, I don't want to cut down too many trees. I turned Ragnarok in my hand to face me.
"Ready Ragnarok?" I asked him.
"Whatever." He replied.
"Soul Resonance." We faintly said in unison. I could instantly feel our souls connect and begin to resonate with eachother. My power grew and I became even more nervous to use my black blood. I walked over to the trail and made sure no one was walking on it. I lifted my arm.
"Screech Alpha!" I yelled sending my arm and Ragnarok down with force to release screech alpha. I watched as it screamed loudly and was sent down the trail at remarkable speed. It hit at the turn and vanished as it demolished a bunch of trees. I turned around to see everyone standing around me.
"What?" I said getting slightly nervous.
"I'm glad that your on our team." Liz said through her weapon form.
"I remember that move, from when we were on the Nidhogg. It seems that the strength of Screech Alpha has deducted some." Kid pointed out.
"Y-yeah, I guess it has. It's s-stronger than it usually is though." I said. Everyone but Maka walked back to where they were practicing at.
"Wow, I remember fighting you and being slightly terrified that your move would eat me. It was definitely hard to block. I'm with Liz, i'm glad that your on our side." Maka smiled. I smiled back and we went back to our stations.
"I think i'm slightly deaf now." Theresa said.
"You'll get used to it." Maka told her.
"S-sorry." I apologized.
"What?" Theresa said. Maka started to laugh.
"We better get to work, if we're caught slacking off we'll be in trouble." Maka stated. We nodded at eachother and continued our practice. I looked at the trees in front of me, I wonder what Screech Gama would do... Then again, the scream is a bit too loud, I should wait until the fight and maybe suggest earplugs so no one goes deaf. I started to swing at the trees, hitting them but not with enough force to cut them down. I noticed that Stein was especially paying atteintion to me. After a couple of moments he would check on other students to see how they were doing, but he mostly focused on me. I could tell that it could've been an hour because everyone had started to shiver from being in the cold too long.
"Alright, I can tell that we need a break." Stein said bringing out yet another thermis full of hot chocolate.
"Your gonna' make us sick with all this hot chocolate." Kid stated.
"Would you rather I brought you nothing and let you freeze out here?" Stein asked him.
"I think we're good, thank you for the hot chocolate. I'm sure that Kid loves it too, isn't that right?" Liz said.
"Sure. Thanks." Kid said. I have no idea what that was about, but I should probably ignore it.
"After your done drinking your hot chocolate, line up straight and be ready to sparr a random apponent." We listened to Stein then got to drinking our hot chocolate. We had a while to warm up, so we stood around and chatted with eachother while drinking whatever hot chocolate we had.
"You guys are all sissies, the cold hasn't bothered me a bit! Just shows how much better I am than all of you." Black Star protested.
"That's what you tell yourself, but we'll all laugh when you come to school with a cold tomorrow." Soul said.
"Oh yeah? Wanna bet me on that?" Black Star said.
"Sure, how much you puttin' up?" Soul said with his hand out.
"Twenty bucks I come to school with nothin'."
"Deal. If you come to school with any kind of sneeze, cough, or sniffle, I win." They smiled at eachother and shook hands to seal the deal. Amanda face-palmed as she watched Black Star and Soul discuss other stupid things.
"You've got a smart boyfriend." Theresa teased her.
"Don't even." Amanda said an angry mark forming on her forehead.
"Chill out, what did I do?" Theresa said.
"Many things, so quit talking to me until you can tell the truth." Amanda said. Amanda stormed off in one direction leaving Theresa there.
"I don't understand what i've done, but she's got her problems too." Theresa sighed.
"Is she?" Maka started.
"Yeah, she's totally bi-polar. It's why even though she's a meister and i'm a weapon, though we're sisters we can't resonate souls. Her bi-polarness is only affected by certain people. I happen to be one of them." Theresa explained.
"Is she usually this angry?" I asked.
"Yeah. Out of all of her crazy emotions, anger is one that is usually played out on me. I can handle it though, she's had this problem ever since she was 7 and i've gotten used to it." Theresa said.
"That's good. I hope she'll get over it though." Maka said.
"She will. It will take a while, not only is she bi-polar but she has anger issues. All the things she gained from my father except for her looks. I took after my mothers traits but I look a lot like my dad. We're kind of the opposite."
"I see."
"Alright, you've had enough time, get in line." Stein said. We all hurried to the spot in line we stood in and Stein pointed at certain people to be sparred.
"Black Star and Tsubaki will face... Soul and Amanda. Crona and Ragnarok will face... Maka and Theresa. Kid, Liz and Patty will wait until an opponent is ready." Stein said, "Black Star vs. Amanda. Get into positions in the middle. Everyone else step back so they can have room." Black Star, Tsubaki, Soul and Amanda walked into the middle of the circle (imaginary one btw). I watched as they're weapons took form and landed into their meister's hands easily.
"I'm gonna kick your ass." Black Star threatened.
"Only if you have the strength to." Amanda countered.
"Shut up, i'm a lot tougher than you."
"Maybe, but i'm smarter." Amanda smiled.
"Go!" Stein yelled. Amanda stood there and waited for Black Star's attack.
"Speed Star!" Black Star shouted as he ran around Amanda to get her back. Amanda easily turned and blocked the strike. She threw Black Star backwards. He did a back flip and landed as he smiled. He changed Tsubaki into a smoke bomb and fled. No one had noticed where he had gone. I watched Amanda to see how she would deal with her situation. Her eyes were closed and she was obviously focusing her senses to find Black Star. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and walked backward a little to dodge Black Star's hand. His hand was flashing with a blue static, that's probably his soul wavelength. She stepped forward a little and swung Soul at him, Black Star easily dodged the scythe but didn't expect Amanda's back foot to connect with his face. Blood slowly dripped from Black Star's mouth.
"Is that all you got?" Black Star said.
"Not really, just waiting for your next move." Amanda answered.
"That won't be long." The smoke cleared and Black Star had Tsubaki in his hands once again. This time she was her normal chain scythe. He threw one end of Tsubaki at Amanda which she ducked under and wrapped the chain around Soul. She pulled down and sent Black Star tumbling to the ground. Amanda stomped her foot into his head. Black Star struggled to get up, but he had the smart idea of shooting his soul wavelenth into her ankle. She fell back with a loud yipe! She put her hands up in surrender when Black Star held one end of his chained scythe to her throat.
"You win." She smiled.
"Of course I did. I'm god! And your nothing but a small weakling." Black Star said to her. Soul turned back to normal and helped Amanda up. She tried to stand on her ankle but struggled to keep her weight on it.
"Oi Stein, is it alright if I take her to the infirmary?" Soul asked Stein.
"Sure, be careful on the ice." Stein warned them. Amanda nodded. They started to walk/limp away and Soul kissed Amanda on her forehead. Everyone started to chat about the fight. Amanda did really well, considering that she was up against Black Star and his special move 'speed star'. I definitley wouldn't of been able to fight that.
"Alright, shut the chit chat up. Next is Crona vs. Maka, get into positions." Stein demanded. We walked into the middle of our area, ready to begin. Maka only smirked at me, which made me nervous.
"W-what? Why are y-you l-looking at me like t-that?" I asked her.
"No reason, i'm just excited to fight you again. It reminds me of when we last fought, this time I won't be inside your soul though." she giggled.
"Ready? Go!" Stein shouted. I hadn't had time to react because Maka had projected herself toward me and swung her scythe. It impaled my side but got stuck.
"Don't we remember this from last time?" I taunted as she pulled the scythe back out. I could feel the madness start to surface but I pushed it back with as much strength as I could. I only took one step before Maka had one of her fists in my face. The first punch connected with my face but I ducked after the second one and slammed my body into hers. She fell back and I took this as my chance. Well, until she wrapped one foot around my ankle and tripped me. This time I was on the ground. She was getting ready to impale me again but I decided to act.
"Screech Alpha!" I shot it towards her which she easily blocked. It pushed her back a bit and hurt Theresa a little before it disipated.
"Fiery night!" Maka announced. The blades on Theresa expanded and the fire that was there looked like it was moving. What did this move do? It seemed that Maka started to move faster than she did before and I could feel the heat radiate off of her scythe.
"Why are they fighting so hard? They're going to hurt eachother." I heard Kid say.
"Don't worry about it. This is Maka and Crona we're talking about. Even if they hurt eachother, they'd never kill the other and they'd laugh about it later." Stein said. I smiled at the thought, until the hurting Maka part popped up. I hesitated for a moment leaving Maka a perfect shot to hit me again. She sliced me with her scythe again, it freaking burns! I think she did eternal damage to me.
"Eaugh!" I yelped as black blood splatted out of my mouth. KILL HER. I stopped for a moment to think and I shook my head. I can't start thinking like that right now, I have to beat Maka, not kill her.
"Crona, if this is too much we can stop-" Stein started.
"No! I'm fine, just leave me be." I said panting. Me and Maka stood a good distance away from eachother, I took a step forward but Maka didn't move. I pushed foward and she blocked Ragnarok with Theresa. We were face to face inbetween blades. We smiled to eachother and jumped backward. DECAPITATE HER. I shook my head again, this is so annoying. I charged at Maka which she didn't expect at first but her natural fast reaction skills allowed her to move in time. I swung my arm in her direction, releasing another screech alpha. She dodged it and came back at me.
"Screech Gamma!" I said as I blocked the scythe. It vibrated at a fast speed which cuts whatever it touches.
"Ah! That hurts!" Theresa said as her face appeared on the scythe with some blood running down her face.
"Sorry Theresa." Maka apologized as she jumped back. Maka came back at me as I tried to get ready. CUT HER. I shook my head and when I realized what happened I looked at Maka. I had cut her arm pretty deep. Dang it, I had been trying not to (severely) hurt her. It makes it worse that I lost control of my brain and actions for literally 2 seconds.
"You alright?" I asked her. I suddenly got a huge migrain and I dropped Ragnarok. My hands flew to my head as my ears rang. Ragnarok dissolved back into my blood. I could feel people gather around me and I couldn't tell what they were saying to me. KILL THEM ALL, TAKE THEIR SOULS, DO IT FOR YOUR MOTHER. My eyes flew open and I saw Medusa's face. Her smile haunting, the snakes starting to intertwine with me.
"Ahh!" I yelled and started to step backward. My foot connected with something and made me fall. I felt something really hard and painful hit my head before everything went black. What seemed like an endless black hole turned into something really bright white. I still had ringing in my ears when I opened my eyes. I saw Stein and Nygus's faces when I could clear the blur from my eyes. Their mouths were moving but I couldn't hear a thing they were saying, I covered my face with my hand to keep they sun out of my eyes. So, i'm still outside...
"I think he's coming back." I could faintly hear Stein say.
"Can he hear you?" Nygus asked him.
"What?" I asked.
"Crona! Are you okay?" Maka came up to me.
"I-i don't know. W-what happened?"
"Thats what we'd like to know." Stein said. I tried to sit up but the headache kept me from getting up. I rubbed my temples with my hands.
"You still have a headache?" Nygus asked me.
"Ngh." Was my only response. The noise, talking, the sun, it was all making the headache worse.
"I presume that means yes, you think he'll be fine out here?" Stein asked her.
"I don't know exactly what happened. I'll give him some aspirin for the headache and he'll be fine out here but as soon as this practice ends I want to see him." Nygus told Stein. Stein nodded and Nygus left.
"Crona are you okay?" Maka asked me again.
"I g-guess." I replied. I closed my eyes and focused on getting rid of the headache.
"Take this, then just stay there until practice ends." Stein said taking my hand and putting the aspirin in it. I popped the pills into my mouth and swallowed hard to get them down. I covered my face with my hands while my eyes were closed, hopefully I can sleep. I could hear Maka sit next to me.
"You hit your head pretty hard on a rock and some ice." Maka said.
"Oh? Well that explains the after headache." I said wincing. I looked over at her and noticed that she was sitting in the snow. Isn't she gonna get cold?
"Yeah, i'm sure your definitely ready to go home." Maka giggled.
"Definitely. Aren't you cold? Here take this." I said struggling to take the coat off of me to put under Maka.
"I'm fine, i'll just get a little wet from the snow melting." Maka said.
"That would give you a cold, here." I said handing her the coat. She put it underneath her and smiled.
"Now your gonna get the cold."
"I don't get cold or hot, so I don't get illnesses related." I explained, smiling. She punched me lightly in the arm. She giggled for a second and watched everyone else around us.
"Well, since you and me are out... Kid and Black Star get to duel." Maka said.
"Why are you out?" I asked her. She lightly raised her bandaged arm, where I had cut her.
"Oh." I said, the guilt flooding me.
"It's alright, it was an accident and we were being pretty rough." Maka says pushing my face.
"I'd say, my jaw still hurts." I whined.
"Oh shut up, you deserved the punches." she teased.
"Maybe." I said giggling.
"You know, your attitude and understanding has changed a lot." Maka said.
"You think?"
"Yep, before you would've freaked out if I said that you deserved the punches, you would've thought I was being literal. Plus, you never would've teased back, mr. my jaw hurts." Maka said smiling. She layed next to me on the coat and we watched the clouds go by. We were there for a while, listening to the wind, the trees sway, crickets, gunshots, metal clinging, oofs and ows, it was peacefull.
"I love you Crona." Maka said faintly. My face instantly heated up.
"I l-love you too." I stutterd. Freaking stuttering, hate it! Then, I could hear deep and soft breathing next to me. I turned to see that Maka had fallen asleep. I smiled at the sight, she's so beautiful. She looks like shes so relaxed while shes asleep. I scooted a little closer to her and kissed her on the forehead. I watched her sleep (not in the creepy way) and I soon fell asleep too. When I woke up me and Maka were surrounded by people. Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, Amanda, Theresa, they were all standing over us.
"W-what?" I said my face becoming very warm and obviously changed a shade of red.
"Your sooo cute!" Patty squealed. I looked at Maka, who was turned towards me and our hands were entertwined. She was still asleep, so she didn't get to see this... I sat up quickly, bringing tons of pain flooding to my brain. I winced but got up and stood.
"W-why would you watch us!?" I asked nervously.
"Well why not? You two were just there asleep. You both talk in your sleep you know that right?" Liz said. My face became more crimson red and my cheeks were super hot.
"Something about, I love you. Want to stay here forever..." Amanda giggled.
"Also some kissing sounds and stuff." Theresa laughed. Amanda punched her in the arm. My face wasn't even a face anymore, it was a melting tomato.
"Aw, come on Crona don't be embarrassed. It's completely normal." Kid said.
"N-normal f-for w-who?" I asked.
"Well, I don't know exactly. But it seems to be, seeing how adorable you two were." Kid replied.
"Don't worry about it Crona, we were just getting ready to go when we saw that you two were asleep. It was just to cute to walk away from, hope you didn't mind that I took pictures." Tsubaki said holding up her camera.
"P-p-pictures?" I nearly fainted right then and there. But all of our attention was drawn to Maka.
"Nng." She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked around half-asleep and noticed that we were surrounded. Her face turned a light tinge of pink.
"W-what are you looking at?" Maka asked them.
"Nothing." They all said and walked away. My mouth dropped. They came and teased me but wouldn't give Maka anything? Guess that was probably better though.
"What's going on?" Maka said looking around.
"N-nothing. They s-saw us s-sleeping h-here." I said.
"Oh, you fell asleep too?"
"Y-yeah, apparently." I reached out my hand for Maka, which she took and I helped her up. Her legs and skirt got a little soaked from the snow but not too badly. If I make my nurse visit short we can hurry home and change.
"So, to the nurse's office now?" Maka asked me.
"Y-yeah." I replied. My face was still super red and hot. I couldn't get the thought of them just standing there and watching, which made my blush come back. When I got to the nurse's office, Nygus already had everything out to test me for whatever. I sat on the edge of one of the infirmary beds.
"Alright, i'm just gonna check for injuries and a concussion. You'll have to ask Stein about your sudden migrains." Nygus told me. I nodded and let her do what she was doing.
"Nothing is out of the ordinary, you should be set to go. Quit hurting yourself, I think this is your 4th or 5th time to the infirmary."
"Ha," I laughed nervously,"There will probably be a lot more."
"I hope not." Nygus said. I think she smiled but its hard to tell with the bandages wrapped around her face. Maka took my hand, thanked Nygus and started to lead me through the halls. She dragged me all the way out of the DWMA, with little chat here and there. She mostly just wanted to know why everyone was so fixed on staring at us while we were sleeping. I told her that they thought we looked 'cute'. About half way home, she slowed down a bit and my legs finally got to catch up to her on their own.
"So they thought we were just cute?" Maka asked me.
"Yep."
"Okay, why did it look like you were going to faint?"
"T-tsubaki took p-pictures." I admitted.
"She took p-p-pictures?" I nodded. Her face turned pink and she bowed her head. I noticed that she raised her head and was looking right at my face.
"W-what?"
"Are you sure your okay?"
"Y-yeah, why?"
"Well, after you had dropped Ragnarok and gripped your head I took a hold of you to see if I could snap you out of whatever was happening. Your eyes burst open and I thought I did it, but you didn't see me. It's almost as if you were looking right through me. Your eyes, they were abnormally dilated and a paler blue than they usually are when you have hostile moments." Maka explained.
"I d-did?" She nodded. Hm, should I tell her I saw Medusa? That would worry her though, but would it help? We finally got into the apartment and I closed the door behind me. I turned around and Maka pushed herself into me. She gave me a tight hug.
"Your starting to worry me." She said.
"I know. I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, you can't stop whats happening to you. I don't understand how this is happening to you and not Stein though. Stein is way more unstable than you and Cumo."
"Marie's wavelength, it's strong and it impacts him in a great amount of ways. Your wavelength is keeping me sane so far... Cumo didn't have anyone, Kid doesn't have you and Marie's soothing wavelengths. Your's isn't as strong as Marie's, but it's definitely helping me." I explained to her.
"Oh, I see." Maka said. She backed up, she gave me a smile.
"You going to be okay?" I asked her.
"I'll be fine." she said confidently, "just be ready for next month's check-up with Stein." Maka said.
"Right, i'll be sure not to forget that." I said.
"Good, so what do you want for dinner?" Maka asked me.
"Sanity."
Bahaha! Fluffy, Madness, Fights! How was this chapter? Sorry it took so long for me to get done, I have school. Highschool if freaking hard guys, i'm like dieing from homework overload. I try to use all of my spare time to write the story but my aunt and uncle (I don't have parents) always tell me to go outside and do something 'productive'. This is productive! So productive, that I entertain all of you! Btw, if its in all caps & bolded its his insane thoughts. If it's caps and not bolded, it should be bolded. Guys its literally 2:07 a.m. right now, Death the Kid is ashamed of me. If there are mistakes its not your mind playing tricks, it's my brain slowly dieing. Ugh, kill all the hardships in life! Ha, if only it was that easy... Well, I noticed that the story was losing fluffiness, so here was some! How'd you like it? I thought it was cute! Tsubaki's picture taking is funny, which isn't random btw it will come into use eventually! Give me some ideas! I love hearing your guy's opinions and suggestions. You don't have to upload only one btw, give me tons of them! I'm blabbling, so i'll let you go and rest your eyes after reading so much... ha... Well, suggest, like, fav, and keep reading! Bye Bye!
