Spirrrit! Heelp me!"
Shinigami-sama's cheerful voice said, full of pity. Spirit ran into
the mirror room to see Shinigami hovering over something he could not
see.
"Wh—what Shinigami-sama? What do you need?"
"Come
here," he said, urgently. Spirit trotted over, still huffing from
the run to the room. He looked at what Shinigami was intently looking
at to see… wait—what?
Spirit didn't believe what he saw.
There was a tiny table-looking thing with a small baby boy who was
looking up and Shinigami intently.
"Sh—Shinigami-sama? Where
did the Kid come from?"
Shinigami replied simply
"Help! I
cant do this!" weakly as he fiddled with the child's diaper.
Spirit looked at the child and saw his eyes—which were an
amber-golden-topazy color—and his hair, which strangely was fully
grown at such a young age, and strangely had three light white
stripes in his hair. Spirit giggled and said
"That's what you
called me in for? To teach you how to do a child's
diaper?"
"Well—this child is mine—so I'll need to know
how to work it."
. A light frown was on his face, not a frown
of anger, but a frown of frustration and worry.
"I don't want
a stinky baby in here all the time—I won't be able to concentrate
on my work."
"Well," Spirit began—trying not to laugh.
Shinigami obviously wasn't used to babies.
"I've had to
change little Maka's diaper for weeks now, so I would say I'm
pretty much a professional. See here, first you take the dirty diaper
off—" Spirit said, taking a random object to represent Death's
Kid.
"Then—you take a baby wipe and wipe the mess off the
baby's bum—" he said, doing so
"Then, finally, you put the
new diaper on." Spirit grabbed some name brand diaper—pampers, I
believe—and swiftly put the diaper on the pillow he had grabbed. He
smiled, and with amusement dripping from his tongue he said
"Now—you
try."
"OK~" Shinigami said, "I think I get it now."
After a while of fiddling around trying to get the diaper off—which
was a task because of such large hands—he did most of the
instructions correctly—all but one. He managed to put the diaper
on. . . backwards. Spirit grabbed the bridge of his nose between his
thumb and forefinger and walked over to stand beside Shinigami.
"It's
a… good start…" Spirit said. Shinigami was practically emitting
proud-ness and Spirit couldn't help but laugh.
"The diaper's
on backwards, Shinigami." Shinigami slumped as Spirit continued to
laugh his head off.
"Shinigami CHOP!"
Spirit now lay on
the floor, spouting blood from his freshly dented head.
The kid
was watching his 'father's' hand intently. Shinigami playfully
wiggled the non-bloodied hand in front of the child's face
giggling
"That's how you're going to deal with annoying
people, hmm~!" Spirit coughed as Death's Son grabbed the finger
and stuck it in his mouth.
END.
