"Maka?" "Yeah?" Maka replied to her partner and fiancé. "Do you ever wonder what Arina and Kano do at Kidd's house?" Soul asked. "Yes. Sometimes." Maka replied.
At that precise moment, a little girl with long blonde hair was sitting on a stool, yelling at a boy with cropped brown hair. The boy's name was Kano and he was running around Kidd's house making everything asymmetrical. Kidd was chasing after him, making everything he saw symmetrical and screaming at the asymmetricalness of his house. Finally, Kidd caught up to him and swung him up in the air. Kano yelped in delight. "Hey Arina! Come and tickle your brother for me!" Kidd yelled at his green-eyed 6 year old neice. "No! No!" Kano giggled. "I'll even hold him down for you!" "Ok!" Arina said. "No! No!" the 8 year old squealed. Arina was on him in a second and they were rolling around again. The doorbell rang. "You two go unpack your things upstairs while I get the door! Arina, you go to Liz's room. Kano, you can share with me. Go on!" Kidd said. Liz ran down the stairs with her twin and Patty said "Roomies!" The three girls went upstairs, dragging Kano with them. Kidd walked to the door and opened it. He yelled. "Patty!"
"Weapon form!" Maka yelled. The partner pair were battling a witch coven that had been bothering Death City. The laughing moon hung high overhead as Maka dodged spells and slashed all three witches at once. "Let's go pick up the kids." the scythe said.
Kidd yelled "Liz! Patty! Protect the children!" He ran upstairs quickly and locked the door to Liz's room. "Kidd! What the heck are you doing?! We can't help you if we're locked in here!" Liz said, rattling the knob. "I know! Stay quiet. I'm going to lead them away!" Kidd said through the wood. "Kidd! No!" Liz said at the same time that Patty said "We don't have Kano!" "YOU WHAT!?" Kidd yelled. He ran to his room and grabbed Kano by the shirt and shoved him through the vent connecting the two rooms. "Uncle Kidd? What's going on?" "Stay quiet and don't move if you want to live." Kidd said. Kano's eyes grew wide but he stayed quiet as he crawled to the girls room. Kidd sighed in releif but soon lost his breath as he was hit in the back. "Good to see you Kidd." A man stood before him. "Where… are….the…..kids….Kidd!?" The man said, emphasizing his point by throwing punches. "You'll never find them. Tsubaki and Black Star took them far away." Kidd lied, gritting his teeth to deal with the pain. "Oh, really?" the man said. "Sir! We found them!" a voice bellowed from down the hall. Then two people were dragged in.
