He was called into his father's Death Room for some important information. Death the Kid's eighteenth birthday was just a couple of days away and the gang was going to go the new rock club down the road from the Make and Soul apartment building. The club was called Fallen Snow; everyone in Death City enjoyed the club for its great stage and awesome floor to jam out on. There was also a nice restaurant on the upper floor with a huge glass wall where you can see the band or DJ play. Kid stopped his musing when he reached the door to the Death Room. As he opened it he saw Stein and Sprite coming towards him with their heads bowed.
"What's wrong with you two?" Kid looked at Stein as he was lighting his cigarette and blew out a skull shaped puff of smoke.
"Nothing wrong my young lord," Replied Stein, puffing on his cigarette. "your father just gave us some orders, that's all."
Kid noticed that something was not right at all, because Sprite looked to frigid in his mind. But Kid let them pass so he could enter his father's room. He walked to the big mirror that his father looked in to, and noticed he was talking to another Grim Reaper, the Lord Life from the Eastern Hemisphere. When he got close to his father, they stop talking and looked at Kid for a moment.
"I'll be there in a week." was all that said to the Lord Death.
"Then it settled. I'll see you then old friend." Responded the Lord Death in a cheery voice. Lord Death then turned to his son, the only son he had. "Hiya, how are you doing son?" Came the acknowledgment from the old reaper.
"I'm fine Father. I received word you wanted to talk to me about something important?" Kid answered.
"Ah yes I do have something to discuss with you." His father spoke calmly "There is a matter I have been putting off for too long a time. I was just speaking to Lord Life from Japan. He is coming to visit us for a while with his daughter, Lifesaving. They're coming the day after you're eighteenth birthday." Lord death spoke flatly, which bothered Kid a lot. His father never sounded this way. It must be really important then.
"Well Father, what is he coming here for, then?" Kid asked nervously. Lord Death looked at his son then sighed. It was not going to be easy to tell the boy what his future was soon to be like. He and his friend Shinigam had only one child piece; the only children born to have full Grim Reaper powers, one boy and one girl. They were born only a month and half apart. Kid had been born on Halloween, and Lifesaving around Thanksgiving. They saw each other when they were younger, but many years had passed and Lord Death hadn't heard from his old friend in a while. Now was this news of a kishin that had come into its own. However, that was neither here nor there at the present moment. He looked down at his son and braced himself for however Kid might react.
"Kid, back when you where just newborn," Death started, "my dear friend Shinigam Life announced that he and his wife had a baby too, a girl. I don't know if you remember her at all. You were very young when they came to visit us and the two if you always seemed to get into all sorts of trouble together." The old Lord Death spoke quietly, remembering the past. Kid stood, listening to his father, trying to remember these people. The only thing he could remember were iridescent light blue eyes. Kid stopped looking at his father for a moment to figure out, or try to remember anything else at all. "What is the importance of this girl to me Father?" Kid forwardly asked. Old Death just sighed again. "She's going to be your bride my son. You two will wed in six months time, and she is coming to meet you again." That was all he said.
Kid just stood there, looking at his father like he just allowed the world to tilt on him and just laughed at his father's statement. That was rich; he had a bride coming from the Eastern Hemisphere to marry him. Kid doubled over with the force of his laughter, and tears leaked out of amber eyes. "Well I think that was an excellent joke Father." Kid snorted.
"I am not joking Kid. It was an arranged marriage. The agreement made when the two of you were only a year old." Death told Kid solemnly.
Death the Kid, for the first time, looked at his father blankly. He didn't know what to think of everything that he was being told. A girl from his past that he couldn't quite remember was coming to be his. What was he supposed to do now? He had to leave and meet with the others and tell them. Maybe they could find reason where he couldn't. So Kid just turned around and walked to the door, but stopped when his father spoke one last time.
"You will be taking her to dinner the night she gets here. You will pick her up at the hotel Death Front Door, then take her to the local Japanese tea house down on All Follow Dr. I hope by then you've made peace with this. Kid, she is coming to see you. View her as you friend in the beginning, then maybe a partner in the future." With that said Lord Death turned and walked back to his mirror.
Kid walked out of the room, down the hall, and through the door of the DWMA. He looked around to see if his friends where around, but the only people he saw where his two Death Scythes, Liz and Patty, waiting by the columns. He motioned for them to follow as he descend the stairs of the school to head home. He looked to Liz and Patty, and spoke calmly to them in a normal tone. "Go get the others and bring them to the house. We have some things to talk about; or at least I do, in a sense." That was all he said as he kept going. The two sisters just stared at the back of the miester's head. This was new, but they where given orders, and they would follow them.
"Patty, why don't you go get Black Star and Tsubaki, and I'll get Maka and Soul." Liz turned to her little sister.
"Okay sis Ill meet you back home in an hour." Patty chimed as she skipped away toward Black Star's house
