"What's this all about dad?"
The group of them stood there in Lord Death's office. Maka and soul, Black star and Tsubaki, Crona,
Liz, Patty and Kid.
Death raised a masked eye brow and he motioned for them to sit in front of his mirror.
"Well Kiddo as I told you the other day because of your little self-mission I was going to punish you
but I hadn't thought of how…" he paused as he saw everyone's face become worried, apart from Kid's.
"Well I have finally decided how, I'm not the type of person to use violence when it's not necessary so
instead I thought I'd show your friends something".
At this he motioned to his mirror and a picture started to form. It was the great hall of death mister
academy, there was a stage and the picture was focusing in on it. On the stage there was a young boy of
around 4 or 5. He was dressed in black with short black hair with white stripes over one side of fringe.
The child on the stage was kid 13 years ago.
Now kid was started to get worried as he realised what his dad was about to show his friends.
"No, seriously lock me up, stab me, break my leg, just please anything but this"
Maka looked at him her head tilted to the side.
"What could you have possibly done at that young an age that could be so bad?" But she turned her
head back to the mirror as the young boy started singing.
His voice was very good and he delivered the song perfectly, and yet Kid's face became redder and redder.
By the time the song was finished and the mirror became reflective again Kid had his face in his arms on the table in front of him.
He wasn't crying he was simply hiding his face in shame.
"You're a really good singer" said Patty trying to make him feel better but this only seemed to make him worse.
He stood up and went to leave the room through the normal way out; forgetting that when they had
come to this room in the first place they had all had to come through the mirror because Lord Death's
stair case was gone to be fixed after the war between the witches.
Everyone seemed to forget this until the last moment.
"Wait. Kid don't go that….!" Shouted Tsubaki but too late as there was a sudden crash or rather several crashes.
They all ran to the side where the stair would have originally started.
"You know you could have reminded me sooner guys" he said
Liz clambered down the hole and found kid, lying on his back, facing up but not really looking at anything.
"Hey Kid you alright?" said Liz
"Physically or mentally?" he asked
She sighed and extended a hand to help him up, he took and it and went to pull himself up when the one of the greatest pains he had ever felt shot up his leg.
He cried on and sunk back to the floor.
"You alright Kiddo?" came lord death's voice from above.
"Yeh fine" said Kid bluntly but Liz wasn't so sure, she sank to her knees as well and looked at Kid's leg despite him telling her he was fine.
His leg was at a funny angle and as she pulled up the leg of his trousers a bit she could see the black bruise already forming.
"What's the damaged?" shouted Maka
"I think he's broken his leg!" shouted Liz, Kid was already contradicting her
"Don't be silly Liz I'm fine" he stood up, gritting his teeth against the pain.
The next thing he knew his father was by his side.
"Well at least you got what you wanted, didn't you say lock me up, stab me, break my leg?" Kid turned on him
"I meant INSTEAD of that embarrassment. And any way I haven't broken my leg I already told you I'm fine".
Lord death got Kid and Liz back to the surface and despite trying to convince Kid to stay he allowed them all the go home.
The next day they were at school and despite limping slightly Kid did appear to be fine.
"Hey kid, fancy a duel?" asked Black star during break.
"No not really" said Kid calmly
"Oh come on!" said Black star giving Kid a slight shove. The shove caught Kid of guard and made him exchange his weight from his right leg to his left.
His face went ghostly pale, and his teeth gritted together.
"Hey Kid…are you alright" asked Maka. He nodded and straightened himself up a little.
During class a few hours later, it was combat training
"Right guys pair up; at the sound of the bell I want you to start duelling" said Sid
Maka walked over to Kid.
"Hey Kid, you want to go with me" Maka knew there was something wrong with Kid and she also knew she was the only one in the class willing to hold back on him slightly.
Kid seemed to know this also because he nodded.
He started off alright not moving around and blocking Maka's attacks. He thought he might get through
it until another member of the class was thrown in the air, he hit a pillar and it was coming down
towards kid.
Kid jumped out of the way missing the pillar but when he came back down he heard a light snap.
The colour that had returned to his face vanished completely even worse than that morning. He felt the nausea taking over him and the world was spinning around him faster than it should have been.
Soul managed to catch him before he hit the ground.
"Wo Kid, can you hear me?"
Kid could hear him but the blackness was taking over, and he didn't know how much longer he could stay awake.
"Go get Dr Stein and Lord Death!" he heard someone shout. He wanted to tell them it was pointless he
didn't need his father and in a few seconds he would be fine and wouldn't need Stein. But as he saw the
Dr, running towards him, his body gave into to darkness.
A/N Slightly long first chapter. I hope you liked it, there is more but I wanted to see what everyone thought of this before I uploaded the rest. So please review and tell me what you think x
