Daughter Of Madness [Kid X Fem!Chrona]

A New Course of Action

As Gopher neared the practice site where the scythe miester was said to be, she mildly wondered why Noah wanted this specific girl. Rarely had he ever asked for a specific piece to add to the collection. It was usually a more impulsive sort of quest, like passing candy in checkout lane. The only exception had been Justin, but that was a strategic move to protect their location from Shibusen; even so they had initially found him by accident. So, what was so important about this Maka?

She arrived to the area and peered at her target from behind the leaves of a nearby tree. The blond girl was yelling at a scythe... how strange. Though, come to think of it, Justin might have mentioned once or twice that he wasn't the only one who could transform into a weapon. The blond shouted at her scythe a bit more before she mounted it and spread her grigori wings.

...grigori wings?

She had grigori wings! Gopher frowned, why would Noah want this, this child when he had her. She was just as good, no, better than this Shibusen twat. Heck, she had bigger, stronger wings, and an enchanted wavelength even. So why would Noah need another girl with a grigori wavelength for the collection? Unless... he wanted to replace her. Fear shot through her body; Noah had been distant lately, but she had chalked it up to his work taking up his time. If he really did want a new assistant, then Gopher was becoming obsolete. She'd never get her chance to get into the book. She could lose everything she worked for to some insignificant child.

"Not if she's in pieces." Gopher muttered. Of course, Noah wouldn't want a servant without a body and he was far too busy to build a new one for anyone. Surely this child didn't have the patience or cooperation to survive a transmutation, so Gopher's body was as good as safe. Yes, she would tear that little intruder to shreds and steal her soul for Noah as instructed, that would prove she was the better fighter.

Maka said something to her flying companion and the other girl flew on ahead. Perfect, now was her chance to strike. She extended her wings and launched herself into the air. Maka looked her direction in surprise and dodged Gopher's first attack.

"How is that possible?" The weapon shouted. Maka concentrated and saw Gopher's soul. An unnatural wavelength that seemed to radiate dark magic, gold cemented together the conflicting flares in her personality.

"She has a grigori soul!" Maka exclaimed. Gopher cringed; unlike witches she couldn't disguise her wavelength. Everyone couldn't keep their thoughts about it to themselves.

"How disgusting, peeping into other people's souls. I can't see why he wants someone like you." She fired another barrage of feather shaped arrows.

"How can you hate me so much?" Maka asked incredulously. "We've never met." Gopher frowned; couldn't this girl take a hint? How dare she scrutinize her over a wavelength. Was that why Noah wanted her? She could see souls? Oh, how this insect abused such a gift. She would give anything to make Noah notice her again, but this girl...

Maka rushed, well, tried to rush at Gopher for an attack. Gopher easily dodged the attempt and shook her head.

"You're too slow." She closed her eyes. "You don't know how lucky you are." She felt the energy course through her. The threat of Noah's betrayal fueled her anger. She concentrated the energy in front of her. Why would Noah want to replace her? "Noah-sama!" She fired. Maka narrowly dodged the beam attack. The blond shouted something while Gopher recovered from the exertion of her attack.

Larger white wings shot out from Maka's scythe, her soul stronger for the fight. Gopher bit her lip at the transformation.

"You think you're so tough?" Gopher shouted. "You can't even withstand my feelings. To think that he'd want someone like you..." She shot another blast. "It makes me so jealous!" The scythe miester's attitude changed and she charged for another attack. "I want a chance to enter the book with my own book mark too!" She had to deflect the scythe with her arm and counter quickly. She had worked too long and too hard to let some little girl take it all away. She focused again, harder this time, and shot a blast of her own wavelength to bring the miester down.
