Chapter 1: Welcome backs and bandages

"So you've had headaches for how long now?" crona questioned the oldest thompson. "About two weeks and they keep getting worse." liz whined placing her hand on her forehead. Crona hastily wrote down the number of weeks and placed the pad down. "OK i'll stay here a bit late and I want come home empty handed i'll have the medicine ready for you by tonight." crona smiled. "Thanks, your a life saver." liz smiled as she got up from her chair and walked out.

Ever since coming back to the academy due to her mothers interest in medicine, crona took it apond her self to extract some of her black blood and use it to make medicine for students. First she stayed with maka and was apart of her team, but when maka and soul started a relationship, she just couldn't handle the noises they made at night. So tsubaki took her in but it only lasted three days due to black star breaking into her room, and screaming at the top of his lungs, about how big of a star he was.

The next person to offer was the son of death himself knowing that crona needed a proper place to stay, and personal peace and quiet. Four months the young demon sword has, lived at the house and there had been no problems so far. But then again kid had gone on a trip without his weapons or crona and he's bin gone for about two and a half weeks. Crona tried bringing the subject up to lord death but his reply was always the same "Kid is a reaper you should stop worrying he'll be back soon, don't worry your little head." but that never settled with the pink haired teen.

Giving up on the thought crona pulled out a syringe and extracted some black blood. Placing the glass object beside her she began to shuffle through some papers looking through them for headaches and pain medicines. The door to the nurses office was soon opened and a boy with blonde hair walked in. "Hello my pink haired angel." the boy sung in a sing song voice. "Not him again." crona thought to herself as she lifted her head and put on a fake smile. "Good afternoon hiro, shouldn't you be at home?" crona questioned. "Actually my dear I decided to come and offer my services to walk you home." hiro bowed with a smile.

"Hiro thats sweet but I'm having to work late." crona said turning back to her papers as she began to read. "All you ever do is work all I'm asking is to spend a bit of time with you." hiro's eye twitched with annouance. "I'm sorry but no I'm here for a reason and that reason is to help, I have better things to do them go home and sit around." crona growled in annouance as she fiddled with the stack of papers. "Why yo-!" hiro began "She said she can't leave." a voice interupted the argument that had hardly even began. Cheeks dusted a sligh pink crona stared at the black haired three stripped boy at the door.

"Whatever." hiro mumbled as he made his way out the door and making sure to hit kid on the shoulder. "Welcome back." crona smiled as placed the papers down. "I didn't like the way he was talking to you crona." kid sighed as he walked into the room, and pulled a seat next to the pink haired nurse. A faint scent filled the room and it was a scent crona knew too well. "Kid where are you bleeding?" crona questioned eyeing the young reaper. All of a sudden kids face turned worried. "I have no idea what you mean." kid said scooting his chair back slightly, getting ready to run if the chance came. "Kid." crona glared. The next thing he knew he was pounced on by the young demon sword.

"Open your shirt!" crona commanded pulling at his shirt. "G-get off! I don't know what you talking about!" kid gripped crona's wrist tightly. "Kid!" crona commanded as her dress began to ride up. Not caring and finally making it crona wripped the young reapers shirt revealing a huge cut on his chest similar to the one soul had recieved but a lot deeper. "K-kid." crona stuttered as tears filled her eyes. "Don't cry besides its already healing." kid tried to reassure her. Standing up crona walked over to the medical kit and grabbed some bandages. Sighing in defeat kid got up and sat on one of the beds. Crona grabbed some rubbing alcohol and dabbed some on a cotton ball.

Crona began to disinfect the cut and began the process of wrapping the bandages around kids chest. "How'd it happen?" crona questioned. "I was picking up some packages for a client and the next thing I knew I was getting mugged by some guys." Kid mumbled as he looked down in shame. "Your shirt is torn along with your jacket, your lucky I brought an extra one of your jackets today." crona said getting up as pink once again made its way to her cheeks. "Why do you have one of my jackets?" kid questioned with a hint of amusement to his voice.

"I didn't want to wear liz or patties because they're clothes are too short or too long so I wore one of your jackets, if thats ok." crona said walking over to the closet. "Not at all." kid said standing up and walking over to where crona searched the closet. Kid happily took the coat and slid it on. "How long do you think it'll take for you to finish what your doing?" kid questioned as he walked over to the door.

"It want take long, you wouldn't mind waiting for me would you?" crona questioned as she took a seat. "Not at all, I'm going to go check in with my father and I'll wait for you at the entrance" kid said leaving the office and heading towards deaths room. Crona couldn't help but let out a small giggled as she inserted the blood into the medicated pills. She pulled a small bottle from her drawer and placed the pills inside. Getting up crona placed the papers back in their correct spot and grabbed the bottle placing it in her apron pocket.

Crona locked the room as she left and headed towards the entrance where kid was waiting. On the way back kid talked about his mission and how very unsymmetrical everything was at the horrid place. When they arrived home crona was greated by a tired liz who soon perked up after receiving her medicine. Since liz had brought her some dinner when she came to visit, she had extra time to shower and relax. Crona walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. She walked over to her dresser and fumbled through the pieces of clothing till she found some pj's. Before putting them on she heard a loud thud as if someone had just fell.

Quickly rushing over to the window crona peared out but saw nothing but broken tree limbs that now rested on the ground and some footprints that led around the house. "Was somebody...watching me?" crona thought to herself, as fear began to grip her heart. "Hey crona is everything alright? I heard a thud." kid said walking into the pinkettes room. The room grew silent as they just stared at each other. "Kid-kun." the demon sword mumbled. "Get out!" the girl screamed grabbing a pillow from her bed and throwing it at the shinigami. It hit kid in the face and sent him backwards with so much force.

Crona slammed the door and quickly put her pajama's on. "C-crona...May I please come in?" kid asked knocking on the door eight times. "Yeah." crona mumbled and the shinigami walked in. "I'm sorry, I just walked in. I should have asked before walking in." kid apologized. "Kid-kun. Do you know if anybody was outside?" crona asked looking towards the window. "Not that I know of. Probably just a old branch." kid smiled trying to calm the girl down. "Night." the teen said walking out of crona's room. "Old branch my ass." crona mumbled.
