A/N: What's up, y'all! I'm sorry to yet again make ANOTHER story while in the middle of three others, but I just had to do this one. It just wouldn't leave me alone and I found the plotting for it cute.

This story was inspired by a few Fanfics based around this similar thing, so I don't want people FLAMING me that I stole, because I swear I didn't! Also, the design for Kiddy is based on a few artwork I looked at on deviantART, but I've modified some parts to my own liking.

Now, the disclaimer... KID!

Kid: What?

ShadowsoftheAbyss: Be a gentleman and do the disclaimer for me... or else

Kid: *looks at author with a blank expression* Or else what?

ShadowsoftheAbyss: *creepy voice* Or else I'll force you to make every picture in your house asymmetrical to the one opposite of it and will be kept like that for a whole month!

Kid: NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!

ShadowsoftheAbyss: What's it going to be?

Kid: ...Fine I'll do it! Ahem, ShadowsoftheAbyss doesn't own anything in this story except for the plot and the Witch mentioned in this story. Am I safe now?

ShadowsoftheAbyss: For now... Anyway, onto the story!

Prologue: A Lesson to Remember

Death the Kid narrowed his golden eyes as he reached the town, Beelzebub gliding above the dusty ground below. The young Reaper gripped Liz and Patty in each of his hands, his Partners in their Weapon forms for the Journey. As they neared the rundown village, Kid ran through what his Father told him this morning about this particular Assignment...

Kid stood in the Death Room, his golden eyes fixed on a tall, cloaked figure. It had some spikes jutting out asymmetrically from either side of it's shoulders, and a squiggly piece at the top of it's head. The figure's most noticeable feature would have his goofy looking mask, something he always wore to conceal his true form. This thing was Lord Death, otherwise known as Shinigami-sama, headmaster of DWMA and Kid's Father. "Now remember, son" Lord Death warned him in his serious voice, "This mission was particularly assigned to you for a reason. This Mission is very dangerous for any normal Student here, but due to you being a Shinigami, you have the upper hand."

Kid sighed, already knowing why. He always heard those words every time his Father gave him a Mission beyond those back at Shibusen. Although he couldn't help but wonder if Maka and Black*Star would be able to do it too. They were both as strong as he was in their own ways. However, he didn't bother asking. He just didn't feel like it today. The young Reaper's attention than fixed itself on the older Shinigami in front of him. "Kid, please bear in mind that this task is not your ordinary one. Please be careful" Death told him, showing some of his Fatherly worry, which was rare nowadays.

"Dad, I'll be fine" was all Kid told him before walking out of the room, Liz and Patty following behind him...

Kid got off of Beelzebub as he reached the empty town's entrance, throwing his two Demon Guns up into the air so they could return to their Human forms. Using his Reaper powers to put away his skateboard, the smartly dressed teenager turned to the two girls behind him. "I don't like the looks of this place, Kid. I mean, there could be monsters or ghosts in there!" the older of the sisters, Liz, cried out as she hid behind her younger sister, Patty. However, the cheery blond girl just laughed. "Don't worry sis, me and Kid will protect ya!" she promised, beaming at Liz with glossy blue eyes. This made Liz a little more relaxed, but Kid could tell the fear was still there.

"Once we get in there, we'll split up. If one of us see's something, or gets ambushed, call out our names or scream" Kid explained to them, Patty nodding in return while Liz trembled slightly. Turning around, Kid studied the town and pulled a disgusted look on his face. So asymmetrical was all he thought as he took one step into the eery village. A cold wind met him as he done so, but the young Shinigami kept on going, his eyes narrowed with determination. He kept on focusing on the number eight all the while he was moving, so he wouldn't have an OCD fit about the buildings there. At the same time, Liz went off in one direction while Patty the other.

I wonder why everyone just got up and abandoned this place. Something isn't right... Kid thought as he walked, looking around. He didn't remember his Father telling him the reason why this place resembled a ghost town in the slightest, something which Kid wished he questioned him on. He kept on observing his surroundings until he heard a snap behind him. Sapping his head behind his shoulder, the Reaper's golden gaze narrowed even more. "Who's there?" he called out, but all he got was silence.

Frustration bubbled up inside him as he began walking again, hands in his pockets, only to hear the noise again. "Show yourself!" he called out in an angered tone. Silence again. Just as he was about to walk off again, something ran off at the corner of Kid's eye. Turning around quickly, Kid managed to see a shadowy figure in the distance up ahead. "Wait!" he cried out, running towards it. But the figure ran off, much to Kid's distaste. The streets started to fog up a little as he ran after the mysterious person, causing the Reaper to lose track of it. Eventually, Kid stopped and looked around, panting.

Where'd it go? he thought as looked from right to left. Suddenly, something moved in the shadows, catching Kid's attention. Looking around, the the black-haired Reaper noticed something small was coming towards him. Bracing himself, Kid got into one of his stances, just in case this thing attacked him. But as it emerged, Kid sighed in relief. Right in-front of him was a cat. A silver tabby cat with black asymmetrical stripes on it, something which disgusted Kid to the very least. He started to back away as the cat started to walk towards him, meowing at him. "Get away from me, you piece of asymmetric garbage! No wonder you're alone!" Kid couldn't help but cry out in hatred.

But the cat kept on coming, it's golden eyes fixed on him unblinkingly. Soon it had the Reaper cornered up against a wall, and to Kid's horror, the cat rubbed itself against one of it's legs. Letting out a silent cry of terror and horror, the Reaper kicked at it, shoving the cat away. "Go away! I don't want you! Leave me alone, you vermin!" he hissed at it through gritted teeth. That's when the weirdest thing happened; the cat sat down and tilted it's head. It than smiled wickedly, showing sharp white teeth, it's long tail flicking. Than, to Kid's shock, it spoke.

"People like you should learn to appreciate things, even if they are garbage to their eyes, Shinigami" the cat said in a sly, feminine voice. Light than engulfed the cat as it transformed into a tall, slender figure. Kid had to look away for the light was too dazzling, but as it dimmed down, the Shinigami's eyes returned back to the cat. But there was no cat. Instead, there was a tall woman with silver hair with black streaks through it. Her skin was deathly pale color, and her eyes held the golden gaze of the cat, the pupils vertical slits.

The woman wore a long sleeved silky v-neck black dress with a silver chain necklace around her neck. The chain held a sort of smooth stone pendant. A Cat's Eye stone. What Kid noticed unmistakably was that she wore a matching black witch's hat, and that her fingernails were long and curved, just like a cat. There was no mistake that this person was a Witch. A proper cat Witch to be exact, unlike Blair, the magical cat back in Death City. "You! What did you do to the townspeople of this place!" Kid accused furiously, pointing a finger at him. The Witch only laughed in return. "Foolish Shinigami, always accusing us Witches for everything related to destruction" the woman laughed, her cat-like eyes staring at him coldly.

Using a hand, the Witch flicked her long silvery, black-streaked hair over her shoulder. "I needed a place to conduct my research on. Those humans were so nosy and boring, I just had to get rid of them, otherwise they would be a bother to me." Kid's eyes widened in realization. "So you've just admitted that you killed all those people? You disgust me so much, that once we're done I'll be taking your soul!" he yelled at her, clearly furious. This only made the woman smile at him wickedly once more, showing off her sharp cat fangs. "So Lord Death sent his own son here to kill me, huh? In that case I guess... I'll just have to kill you first!"

And with that, the Witch sent a flaming ball towards him. Using his reflexes, Kid dodged the ball of fire thrown at him and ran off, leaving the Witch laughing behind him. "You can run, Shinigami, but I will kill you!" he heard her yell out close by. Another fir ball was thrown at him, and Kid barely dodged this one. As more were thrown, the young Reaper managed to either narrowly escape the clutches of them, or leap and run out of the way easily. This witch is toying with me! If I call out for Liz and Patty, she'll instantly know I have company. I have to deal with her using only my wits! he thought as he jumped over a crate and hid behind it.

Peeking above it, e could see the Cat Witch gliding around on a stone platform, looking around frantically. He than fixed his golden eyes onto another crate. It was now or never. As fast as he could go, Kid ran towards the crate, jumped onto it and leaped towards the Witch, kicking her in the face. That should buy me some time he thought, smirking as the woman behind him screamed out in pain. This was just like the time when he thought those two Guardians months ago when looking for the last Magic Tool, Eibon. Running off down the silent rundown street again, Kid looked around for somewhere to hide again. This time, he spotted an alleyway and hide in there.

He could hear the Cat Witch nearby, along with her Soul Wavelengths. "I know you're here, boy. Just come out and surrender, I won't kill you" he heard her say with a sickly sweet voice. Who does she think I am? A foolish teenager! Kid couldn't help but feel offended and even more furious. This Witch was getting to him without even trying. That was when he lost his guard. He felt claws dig into his shoulder and drag him out from the cover of the Alleyway before being thrown onto the stone cold street. Wincing, Kid turned around and glared up at the Cat Witch before him.

The woman wore a smirk on her red rosy lips, clearly feeling triumphant in a way. "There you were, young Shinigami. You've been good entertainment for me, you know" she purred sweetly. Kid only gritted his teeth and kicked her in the stomach, sending the Witch flying towards a wall. "We all know how this will turn out, Witch! You will perish and I'll have a Witch's soul to give to my Father" Kid glowered as he looked down on her. The woman started to laugh a little as she looked up at him, her pupils merely black lines now. "Foolish child! You've just waltzed into my trap!" she hissed.

Before Kid had time to realize what had just happened, the Witch tripped him up, sending him crashing onto the ground again in pain. This time; however, he was bound to the ground by strong thing whisker like material. Looking up, he growled. "What did you do to me, Witch!" The woman just looked at his helpless form and lifted up her hand. "Whiskers and tails, fur like night, and claws that slice, hear your Mother's words and send down a curse to this Reaper! Let him see the world in another's eyes, until he learns his lesson!" the Cat Witch recited, a purple glow surrounding Kid.

Pain erupted throughout his body as he felt his body shift awkwardly. Soon the purple light engulfed him, and the whole street, making those in other parts of the silent village see it...

Liz had met up with Patty back at the entrance, since they were done searching. The two had no evidence to anything unusual or strange that might have led to this town's absence of people. All they needed now was Kid so they could go. Liz was already wanting to get away from this ghost town, while Patty was drawing a giraffe on the soft earthy ground using a stick. "Where is he, he should be back by now" Liz whimpered aloud. Patty just looked at her older sister with a big broad smile. "I'm sure he'll be back soon, sis! He's probably having a fit over the asymmetry of this place!" the girl suggested cheerily.

Liz only just grimaced. She knew what Kid could be like at times, but still... something just wasn't right at all. "Something's wrong, I just know it Patty" she admitted in a quiet voice, looking at her sister. Patty just got up and walked over to Liz's side. That was when they both saw it. A bright purple glow coming from the town up ahead. Forgetting her fear, Liz grabbed Patty's hand and dragged her with her into the deserted town. "I just knew it! KID, WE'RE COMING!" the older woman yelled out, Patty giggling at the same time.

The Cat Witch watched as the light died away and the floating figure was laid down onto the hard ground gently. Where laid Kid was now occupied by the Shinigami's belongings and a small fluffy body. The Witch smiled at her work, and bent down to look at the little kitten that was once a sixteen year old Reaper. The Witch than picked the fuzzball up into her arms as she heard two pairs of feet running towards her, their voices distant, but getting louder as they gained closer. Using her free hand, the pale-skinned woman conjured a spell and disappeared with the kitten just as Liz and Patty entered the same street.

"Kid!" Liz wailed as she saw her Meister's clothes on the ground. As she and Patty ran towards them, Liz bent down and picked up his jacket. There was silence for a moment before the older Weapon felt someone tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw Patty looking at her quizzically. "Sis?" she asked quietly, not in her usual happy self. Liz sniffed before replying with a "Yes." She was too caught up in her emotions already after finding the clothes without an owner. Patty looked at the clothes before looking back at Liz.

"Do you think Kid's running around naked? Because that would be hilarious!" the blonde-haired girl announced loudly, laughing at her own conclusion. Liz just looked away and put her thoughts back on her discovery. We should have never split up. I should have stopped him! she thought as she hugged the empty jacket. Most people would consider that he had died, but she knew he didn't. There was something odd about this whole thing, and she wanted answers. Getting up, the Weapon picked up her Meisters belongings before turning to look at Patty.

"We're leaving this place to tell Lord Death about this" she told her, Patty nodding in silent agreement. The two Demon guns than walked away, leaving the town and travelling towards Death City. Without Kid, they knew it would be a lot longer to arrive there, but that was the least of their concerns. Kid was missing. Something must have made him disappear, without his belongings. They had to look for him, with or without Shinigami-sama's permission.
