"But father why must I remain inside tonight?" Kid questioned not receiving a quick answer.
"Tonight you will take watching of the town from the mirror. Just a feel at what's going to be passed down to you." Shinigami said waving as he left out with Spirit to hang out downtown.
"Mirror, mirror is this space, how long will you keep me in this place?" Kid sighed sitting in the chair resting his head in his palm staring at the mirror.
The mirror depicted different sites of Death City as Kid stared at the mirror with a bored reaction. Kid yearned in his seat as he began to doze off in his seat. Serene music filled the room as the mirror stayed on the site where the music was coming from. Kid started to fall in to a deep sleep until he realized the music playing. He forced his eyes open and saw a room with dark red painted walls in the mirror with a boy playing the piano. The boys white hair combed to the side with his well fitted pinstripe suit and appealing sharp teeth gleaming along with the shine of the ebony grand piano. The white haired boy's gifted fingers danced upon the piano keys sending calm tunes to the audience.
"Soul…?" Kid surprisingly said jumping out of his seat running towards the exit. Kid ran out of the room to the outside of Death City running to that familiar places listening for the music being played. When he was about to arrive at the entrance, He heard applause going off in the building and walked in. Soul was finishing off his bow and walked backstage. Kid ran through the door when the security blocked his view escorting him out the place. With the door shutting in his face, he ran to the back of the building to get backstage.
To his surprise, Soul was standing outside with his back against the wall looking up towards the sky. Kid snuck over to stand beside him, but startled the white haired by instead. Soul jumped out of his skin to the sound of Kid's heavy breathing and the trash can's aluminum clashing with the ground as a cat ran around the corner.
"Kid what are you doing here?" Soul said in a high pitched voice stepping away from the wall.
"I wanted to ask the same question." He replied still heavily breathing from his run.
"I'm just making money on the side for Maka and myself." Soul said looking at his watch.
"I heard you play tonight." Kid mentioned walking over to Soul. "You played well. It stunned me when I realized it was you I the mirror." He added on.
The white haired boy made no expression to his comment. Soul was use to the comments from the audience ad being compared to his brother which was more disconcerting. A person called Soul in to collect his pay right when was about to return back inside.
"Wait!" Kid yelled grabbing soul by his wrist.
"I want you to play for me. I wish to see your talent up close." The young shinigami begged. Soul took Kid by his hand leading him into the backstage room.
"When everyone leaves I'll play for you." Soul said with a smile making the other boy smile with him.
As the tow boys waited for the crowd to leave, the place was finally clear of people and they both walked onto the small stage. Kid looked at his reflection in the ebony piano feeling its smooth surface. Soul sat down stretching his fingers as he placed then on the smooth keys. The music escaped the piano filling the room and Kid leaned against the piano looking closely at his hands. Mesmerized by Soul's playing Kid was just about to face where the empty seats into Soul grabbed the collar of his shirt playing with one hand. While playing the same tune on the piano sounding lower while pulling the shinigami close, he stopped looking at the keys and lured Kid into a kiss.
Kid gave in to the kiss and pulled Soul by his tie to deepen the kiss. Soul stood up placing on top of the piano. As they continued to make out, Spirit walked in the entrance to his horror seeing Kid and Soul together.
"That's unacceptable!" Death Scythe screamed in horror startling the boys. Soul grabbed Kid and ran out the building from the back. Spirit tried catching up but the boys got away running pass a series of corners. Both boys hid behind the wall hearing the older mans foot steps.
"I have to get back to the manor before my father gets back." Kid said walking off before getting stopped by Soul. The white haired boy planted his lips on Kid's one last time before he left. Kid called forth Beezlebub and hastily took off towards the manor. After arriving he scurried into the house and ran to the room with the mirror. Noticing his father was still out he remained at ease as if nothing had happened. He became tired from all the action that took place and began to doze off in the chair once again.
Spirit on the other hand was more worried about Maka being in the house with the same white haired boy. He quickly ran to his daughter's apartment banging vigorously on the door.
"Who is it?" Blair said annoyed opening the door while rubbing her eyes.
"Blair where is Maka?" He shouted causing neighbors to turn on their lights. Soul walked behind Blair in his pajamas in the middle of a yarn.
"She's sleep" Soul grudgingly said scratching his head. Spirit was confused seeing Soul not long ago then seeing him home. The door was shut slowly in his face as Blair wished him a good night.
"I'll prove to Maka what Soul is up to at night." Spirit said angrily walking off to find Shinigami to mention his son being with Soul.
