Liz held kid's soul in her hands with tears running down her cheeks. Kid was dead. The keishin was too powerful. The doctors tried everything but it wasn't enough.
"Reaper souls aren't like human or keishin souls" lord death was using his 'scary' voice as everyone referred to "they just can't be released on the spot. They have to be taken to a special mountain, Reaper Mountain to be exact."
Liz tried to process this "so... Someone has to take his soul to that mountain?"
"Yes I have a team ready to go-"
"I'll do it."
"What?" Lord Death was surprised at this. "I-it's... I guess I see no problem..."
"I want to go as soon as possible" Liz was holding back tears to appear strong
So Lord Death provided her with necessary supplies to complete her journey. He came with Liz to the edge of Death City to wish he luck and give her one last hug.
"Take care of Patty while I'm gone please." Liz adjusted the heavy pack on her shoulders
"Of course. Please be careful"
"I will sir" lord death gave her one last long hug before Liz set off into the desert with kids soul wrapped up in her backpack.
A few hours past and Death city looked like nothing more than a bump on the horizon. Liz sighed and started thinking back on what a great life kid and she had shared.
Sand. Their first date together. The beach. Kid had taken her to a beach for spring break while patty was busy partying with Blackstar. The beach was virtually empty so no one could see them making out and sand getting everywhere. Like now.
Tears began to form in Liz's eyes remembering that wonderful time with him. He was perfectly imperfect. But now he was gone... Liz kept going towards the only mountain in sight. The hours passed without any really pattern. Night seemed to come like a surprise.
Liz stopped and began to set up a tent. After struggling with it for a few minutes she finally got the tent up.
Liz climbed inside with her pack. After taking out her sleeping bag and trying to fall asleep for about a half hour, Liz finally took kids soul out of her pack and held it close to her chest trying to feel some of the warmth that belonged to kid. She began to remember again. This time it was a simpler memory.
Liz had been going out with kid for only a few days when kid suggested that she sleep with him tonight. She accepted. That night they were both in bed together. Kid slept with his shirt off which made Liz blush a bit. 'Is he doing this for me?' Liz worried that kid was trying to accommodate too much. Once Liz moved closer to him and let him put his arms around her, she immediately felt safer than ever. She laid her head on his chest and let his heart and warmth send her into a peaceful sleep.
She tried to feel that same warmth and safety from his soul, but there was nothing there to feel. She cried at this. She wanted nothing more than to feel kid embrace her and tell her everything is going to be ok. She just wanted to know he was there.
Sleep came in the form of memories of her and kid. Liz awoke with tears running down her cheeks. She held kid's soul to her chest and whispered to it "I love you. I will take you to the top of this mountain. Even if I have to die trying."
