Anyway! Onto the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, but I wish to have my own Crona. (Forgive me if I forget this again)

The classroom was filled with so many people. Crona's legs began to wobble. Could she deal with so many people? What if they hated her? What if they beat her up like Ragnarok does? All this over-thinking was making her dizzy.

"M-Maka...?" Crona whispered.

"Hm?" Maka turned just in time to see Crona start to lose balance. Oh no. The neko had started worrying again. And they had only made it to just outside the doorway. This wasn't going to turn out well.

Crona was already starting to fall, the world blurred around her as the air started to rush pass her, making her hair fly.

"Careful." Crona blinked as arms caught her. The classroom focused again. Her head tilted up to find her staring into golden two-tone orbs. Kid? There was a smirk on his face that made her blush. "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yes..." He helped her stand up right. It must of taken at least ten minutes for Maka to talk Crona into entering the class. He must have caught up in that time. But Maka didn't tell her he was in this class too. "T-Thank y-you, Kid-kun."

"It's no trouble." He was happy to help her and hold her so close. Her scent was a mix of strawberries and vanilla, oh-so wonderfully intoxicating.

Maka pushed them both up the stairs to their seats. "Come on you two. You're causing a scene." The rest of the class was already surprised to see the new student turn out to be a neko.

It was even more surprising when the famous Death The Kid caught her when she almost fell. Gossip will be flying by the end of class. Luckily the teacher didn't come in until they were seated. But Crona was still stuck with red cheeks.

The classes flew by until lunch with Maka explaining the lectures to Crona quietly to catch her up. Kid was in the next two classes with them, but Crona in the third class did meet Tsubaki. Tsubaki was kind like always and found Crona cute like Maka had. The three walked to lunch together. Crona saw the packed lunch room and froze.

This was worse than a classroom!

"It's okay, Crona. Ignore the rest of them. Let's just go sit down," Maka told her in a calming tone. "Look, there's Kid and Soul." At a lunch table – like Maka said – was Soul, Kid, and three others Crona didn't know yet. Maka took her hand and led her over. "Hi, guys. Liz, Patty, Black Star, this is Crona."

"HELLO! I AM THE GREAT BLACK STAR! NICE TO MEET YA'!" Who do you think this is? Take one guess. The energetic blue-hair had taken to getting close to Crona's face and crouching on top of his seat. "Hey? You have cat ears." He reached to poke them.

"MAKA-CHOP!"

Black Star now laid unconscious on the floor with blood slowly pouring from his head. Tsubaki was fretting over her hopeless meister while Crona remained in shock.

"Ignore him," the girl with the dark blond hair told her. "I'm Liz." She pointed to the younger girl beside her with brighter yellow-blond hair drawing a hippo with her freshly filed thumb. "And this is my sister, Patty. We're Kid's weapons."

"Hi!" Patty waved, hyper as usual, to Crona. She shoved the drawing in the neko's hands. "I made you a giraffe!"

Crona blinked at the poorly made giraffe with crayon zigzagged over it like a kindergartener made it. "Um... W-Weren't you just d-drawing something e-else?"

Patty clapped her hands in a fit of giggles, completely oblivious to what Crona just said. "Giraffe! Giraffe!" She stopped suddenly with a pout, "You don't like it?"

"What?! Of course I like it!" Sweat beads began to roll down Crona's forehead. Oh death, did she do something that made her think that? Hopefully she didn't make her feel offended. If Patty started crying she wouldn't be able to handle it! Or if she got angry... What would she do?! The others might hate her then too! And then Maka wouldn't want to her to stay at the apartment... And she would have no choice but to return to Medusa!

All of her worried thoughts froze at the sound of Patty's cheerful laughter. Patty was grinning like mad. "Yay! You're so nice, Crona-chan! Ooh~!" Her big, baby-blue eyes sparkled as she leaned closer to her. "Can... Can I touch your ears now?" One of her thin fingers got closer to the furry pink appendage.

Crona ducked down to avoid her hands instinctively. Ragnarok would always tug and pinch her ears until she cried. It always made Medusa angry because they were so sensitive and couldn't handle most peoples touch. But Patty wouldn't do that... Would she?

"Patty," a commanding and stern voice spoke. Silence spread over the table. Curious to who stopped the other girl, Crona turned her head to meet with Death The Kid's golden eyes. They raged like a fire towards his younger weapon. "If you would, please leave Crona alone. You're scaring her."

"Oh!" Patty gasped, her hands pressed to her cheeks. "I am!" She tilted her head to the side with a smile. "Sorry, Kiddo! I'll stop!" It would appear as if Patty was mocking Kid, but even in her own right mind everyone knew she was sincerely sorry.

Kid nodded with a calm understanding. "I forgive you. But it would be right to apologize to Crona, not me."

"Okay!" Patty looked at Crona again, who had taken a large blush to her cheeks. "Sorry, Crona-chan~!"

The neko could feel her face burning. In an effort to hide it, she bowed her head. Suddenly she wished that chunk of hair was still there to keep her hidden some-what from the stares she received from the others. Kid may have been trying to help, but this must be just as bad as a headache. "I-I-It's okay..."

Everyone began to focus on chatting or eating. Except Crona and Kid, who still looked over at the girl who kept her head down, staring at her folded hands in her lap. Why was she so shy?

He still hadn't asked Maka about who hurt Crona yet. Maybe it was because she had been hurt by the someone so badly that she was nervous all the time... With all her shaking and glancing around every two seconds, as if something was going to try and attack her if she wasn't on guard. Perhaps it was something traumatic like that. He doubted she would be willing to admit that though.

Maka just might have all of his answers. That's if Crona had even told her.

If she hadn't, what would he tell Maka?

"Kid! Kid! Kiiiiid!" Liz continued to wave her hand in front of his face.

"Huh?" He blinked a few times. The rest of the group, including Crona, were staring up at him.

His eldest weapon sighed and dropped her hand. "Finally! I've been trying to get your attention for the past, what, five minutes? Geeze!" She rested her cheek on her palm with a raised eyebrow. "What were you thinking about anyway?"

His eyes shifted to Crona. She was confused, with that curious look on her face, that left her lips parted with her dull-colored eyes bright and innocent. It was cute, though Kid wouldn't admit such thought out loud. Quickly, he switched his gaze back to Liz. She was waiting, tapping her finger impatiently.

"Oh, nothing important to worry about. Only something I will discuss with father later. What did you need?" Kid said, coolly.

"Well!" She didn't try to hide her annoyed tone. "If you were listening, you would know that the girls and I-" Liz gestured to the other women at the lunch table, "-were thinking of having a sleepover so we can get to know Crona better. I was trying to tell you we were going to have it at the mansion so you need to get out of the house for the weekend. So you'll have to stay with Soul or Black Star." It was tempting to call him on his ogling at the neko girl, but it was too soon for Crona to get her teasing or rather deal with it.

Kid internally cringed at the thought of staying with Black Star. The idiot would annoy the hell out of him with his dumb -and very pointless- rants. Then Soul was calmer, but his asymmetrical hair would drive him insane. Either way he would be deprived of his sanity, or have to deal with Liz's wrath, which was just as horrible. He was really stuck here.

With a sigh, he decided. "Okay..." As her and the others began to cheer, he reminded her, "But nothing better be broken when I return or put out of place. I will be damn well angry if I find even ONE picture asymmetrical or off balance!"

Liz waved him off. "Yeah, yeah. Symmetry and what not. Whatever." She smiled at the other girls again. "So anyway! How about a shopping trip on Saturday? We can pick out some new clothes for you, Crona! Then, Friday night we can just watch movies. I think there's a horror and drama movie marathon! Patty and I can go after school for popcorn and ice cream! It'll be amazing!"

"YAY! ICE CREAM!" Patty squealed, punching her fist up.

Tsubaki nodded, "Sounds wonderful." In her thoughts, she hoped to Shinigami-sama that Black Star wouldn't destroy anything in her absence.

"Yeah, that's great!" Maka agreed, happily. "What do you think, Crona?"

Crona shivered lightly. A sleepover? She's never been to one of those. She didn't even know what those were! Was that what normal girls had? What if she didn't fit the cut to be there?! Or she did something wrong?! It took a lot to hide her fear and fake a smile. Shinigami-sama said they couldn't know anything about her past, so she might as well try and fake it. "Y-Yeah, i-it sounds f-fun."

"Awesome!" Black Star slung an arm over Kid's shoulders. "So that leaves you with me and Soul, Kiddo! You must be honored to spend a weekend with your god!" Of course, he had to yell and laugh in Kid's ears.

The shinigami impassively pushed his arm off. "Yeah okay, one, you are not my 'god', nor are you one in any way, shape, or form. Two, if you had any sense you would know you shouldn't fucking yell in a person's ear!" Rage seethed off the stripe-haired boy that went unnoticed by the wanna-be god.

"Feh! You're just jealous you can't be as incredible as I am, Kid!" An obnoxious laugh rang out that made Kid's hand clench into a tight fist. This guy was seriously testing his patience. Worst of all, He was scaring Crona!

"Black Star, shut up, will ya'? You're annoying me now and if you don't, Kid might kick your ass," Soul warned him. Along with it, he muttered, "'Cause I'm damn well thinking of it..."

"Oh!" The blunette brute rubbed his head. "Sorry, Soul! Hahaha!"

The two idiots, Soul and Blackstar, had already had one short buddy-break-up, and if they had another one, Soul might not want him as his best friend anymore! What would he do without his best buddy?! And Kid can't fully replace him! Then what if Soul found out he had tried to replace him with Kid! He'd never forgive him! Or worse – Soul could try and replace him, the great Black Star, with Death The Kid! That can't ever happen! With that last thought, he pounced on the death-scythe and hugged him tightly. "DON'T LEAVE ME, SOUL-KUN!"

"BLACK STAR! GET THE HELL OFF ME! THIS IS NOT COOL!"

And this is how Crona spent her first lunch at the DWMA. And also how the rest of the school – and all of the fan girls – became convinced that Soul and Black Star were a yaoi couple.

How was it? Good? Bad? I hope it was the former! But I have a question? Is too Kid OOC? If he sounds like a jerk, I apologize but he is only being protective. Tell me what you think! Review, follow, favorite! Thank you! :)
