Kid quickly descended the stairs of Shibusen, Liz and Patty following slowly behind. "Hurry up you two! We need to go now!" Kid anxiously waited, tapping his feet for a few minutes before running ahead again. Class wasn't over yet. In fact they were right in the middle of class when Kid suddenly stood up and ran outside dragging the twin pistols with him. As Kid reached Gallows Mansion he calmly walked in, careful to disturb the symmetry of his house. He stepped into the kitchen and checked in a cupboard. When Liz and Patty finally arrived they saw Kid sigh in relief. "It was my imagination after all! No dishes are out of place, hmm?" Liz rolled her eyes and Patty burst out laughing. "Come on Kid, we gotta get back now." Liz began toward the door. "No! I must check the rest of the place, since I'm here anyway." Kid began peering around again. Liz sighed as she realized there was no point going back even after checking the house, as it was going to take another 3 hours until her meister was satisfied.
Kid POV
One more room then, and this house will be perfectly symmetrical! As I stepped into the bathroom the mirror began to glow. I walked toward it and Chichiue appeared. "Hey! Hello! Howdy! My cute little Kiddo-kun! Stein says you ran off today in the middle of class. Why are ya at home?" He spoke in his comical voice. "Ah, Chichiue, I came to check on the symmetry. Luckily I did too, the bed sheets on Patty's bed were wrinkled and her bed was unmade! Luckily I came home to fix it!" I proudly proclaimed. "Hmm? So that's it again? Kiddo-kun, I've got a mission for you~ Come back to Shibusen so I can tell you 'bout it, 'kay~?" The mirror flickered off. I stepped into the living room. "Liz! Patty! Chichiue has a mission for us!" When we got outside, they transformed into their weapon forms and I got on Beelzebub. We speeded off toward Shibusen.
Flashback
"Happy 8th birthday, Kiddo-kun!" Everyone shouted. I was 8 years old now! That means I can finally go to learn Shinigami martial arts, like Chichiue promised! The party was so fun! This seemed to be the biggest one that Chichiue has thrown so far. After the party, as soon as everyone left, I sat on the couch next to my father. "Thank you Chichiue! I cant wait for next year!" I shouted. Then I noticed he looked down. "Chichiue? What's wrong?" He looked at me sadly through the mask. "You see Kiddo-kun, I wont be here to throw you a party next year. I actually won't be here tomorrow either. Chichiue has lots of work to do, and now that you're more responsible, you can stay home by yourself, and Chichiue will be at work…" I remember that I started crying. I hadn't cried since I was 3, and I was trying to hold a record, but the tears came and wouldn't stop. Chichiue hugged me, and tried to comfort me, but I cried myself to sleep. When I woke the next morning, Chichiue wasn't there. I could only contact him by mirror, or visiting him. I used to always crawl into his huge bed and bundle pillows underneath the covers to pretend he was there…
End of flashback
"… No Kid. You know I've got work. After you get the magic tool, we need to discuss what to do with it and Stein needs to experiment. You know this already, don't you?" I looked down so my hair covered my eyes. I turned to the door where the Demon Pistols were "Yes, I know. Liz! Patty! Lets go."
"Hey, Kid?" Patty spoke. "Yeah?" "Are you sad 'cuz your dads not gonnna be home again?" "Yes Patty. He hasn't been home since I was 8! He should at least drop by or something. He's always working. I can't even tell if he cares about me or not." I mumbled. As I neared the edge of the east side of town, I saw the witches as Chichiue mentioned earlier. Their soul protect was off, and they were all focused on the tool in front of them. It was golden, and shaped like a sword. I hid behind a rock nearby. They were all chanting something. It was hard to understand what they were saying. As I got closer, a purple exorcist looking circle appeared below me. I didn't have time to think. "Liz! Patty!" I threw them aside like when I was eaten by the book of Eibon. The circle then devoured me.
Patty POV
Onee-san and I were thrown again! When we transformed back to our human forms, we saw Kid get eaten by a witch circle. "KID!" We shouted. The witches spotted us and disappeared. I wanted to laugh because we just saw a circle eat Kid. But I knew this was no laughing matter. Onee-san pulled out her make-up mirror. It was small, but it was still a mirror. "42-42-564" Shinigami appeared on the screen. "Yo! Hey! What's up? How's the mission? I presume it was easy?" I felt angry. Clearly this mission was suspicious, how could Shinigami not see that? "EASY?!" I grabbed the mirror from Onee-san. "Hey! Kid just got captured by the witches! Clearly this mission was a trap! How could you not see that, huh?" Shinigami looked surprised. Actually it was hard to tell, since he had a mask on. "Patty, take it easy." Onee-san calmed me. She always could. Sternly Shinigami said to us, "Return to Shibusen, NOW."
Shinigami POV
Why did I send Kid on that mission? Sure it seemed suspicious that they were right outside Death City, but it seemed like an easy grab and go kind of thing. What could they possibly want with my son? Liz and Patty burst through the door. I turned to them. "Did you recognize any witches?" Liz stammered "E-Eruka! And Medusa!" If it's Medusa that's there, then she's probably leading them… "Death Scythe" I looked at Spirit. "Can you get Stein and Maka? We need their soul perception skills to find Kid" "Yes sir!" Spirit ran out shouting "MAKAAA"
Kid POV
I seem to have passed out, huh? I wonder if Liz and Patty reached Chichiue yet… I wonder if he's worried. Maybe he told Liz and Patty that I can take care of myself. He probably isn't even looking for me… A sharp pain suddenly hit my stomach. I opened my eyes to see Medusa and the witches. "See? He woke up." I saw I was inside of a room. A normal looking one at that there was one window above me. The walls were painted blue, and there was your casual living room furniture. Medusa spoke up. "Kid-kun, we need you to call your father and tell him you're fine and need the BREW real quick. I noticed I wasn't even tied up I was inside of a glass box though. Medusa wrote on the mirror before I could even object. "42-42-564" Chichiue appeared on the screen. "Chichiue! I've been capt-" I was cut off by the box giving me an electric shock. I started again "I've been-" another shock. "Witches-" another. "Medusa cut into the conversation. "We want the BREW. Until we get it, we cant guarantee your sons safety." She disconnected. Another shock hit me. It was bigger than the others and lasted longer. I think I passed out again.
When I awoke, I was tied to the wall. Medusa was talking to Eruka and some guy. The guy was wearing an outfit that looked like something a ringmaster in a circus would wear. "you may begin" Medusa said to the man. He smiled and walked over to me. I observed him, staying quiet. He reached a gloved hand toward my face.
Maka POV
"Soul! I'm picking up Kids' wavelength!" It had been 3 days and we've been looking around the outside of the city, while Stein way out of the city to look for Kid. Shinigami has been frantically looking all over the inside of Death City. No one has ever seen him so worried. Soul and I neared a lone house in the middle of a desert. There was one window and one door. As we peered inside the window, we saw an unconscious Kid, inside a normal looking house. Sensing no one around, Soul and I walked in and grabbed Kid. The house creaked. We looked around quickly. "Soul, my back." I quickly dragged Kid toward the door. When we were outside, Soul transformed into a scythe with wings. I threw Kid on, then hopped on myself. "Can you handle it?" I asked my weapon. "Yeah, no problem." We took of to Death City.
Shinigami rushed toward Kid as we set him on a bed in the nurses office. His clothes were singed and slightly ripped. It seems they didn't hurt him much it seems. I sighed in relief. Kid stirred, and we all anxiously waited for him to wake up. His eyes fluttered open. He looked at me, then Soul, Nygus, and finally Shinigami. When he saw Shinigami he jumped up and backed away. "Kiddo-kun?" Shinigami reached his hand out. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" No one knew what to say. Especially Shinigami. "You… don't touch me. You didn't even want me around, why do you act like you care when there's people around?" Kid began. "Kiddo-kun? What are you talking about? Of course I care about you! I'm your father, and-" "Stop!" Kid interrupted. "I don't consider you a "chichiue" With that he ran out of the nurses office.
Kid POV
My Chichiue… I never felt so neglected until when the ringmaster touched me.
End of flashback
I sighed. I was curled up underneath my writing desk in my room. I managed to make it back to Gallows Mansion. My room was a wreck. I didn't have any motivation to fix the symmetry. Liz and Patty came into the room after what felt like hours. "Kid?! What happened? Your room is a mess!" They bent down next to me "Kid. What's wrong? Why did you shout at your father?" Patty asked me. I squirmed further underneath the desk. "He's not my father." I said under my breath. As Liz was about to object, I pushed them aside, and ran outside. I didn't want to hear about him now or I would go mad thinking about it. I slowed down in the middle of the city when I was sure Liz and Patty weren't around. "Kid-kun~" I froze and turned my head "Medusa!"
We were battling for a while. She threw Vector Arrows at me and I attacked with martial arts. We were back at my mansion… somehow. I spotted Liz and Patty. Unfortunately, so did Medusa. She shot her arrows. "Liz! Patty!" I pushed them aside as the arrow hit me instead. I saw their horrified faces. I fell over and coughed up blood. With my guard down, Medusa attacked me with more arrows. "Kid!" They rushed to my side. Medusa knocked them aside. She kicked me in the stomach. Over and over again. I couldn't move. Ugh. This is terrible. Finally, she stopped "A brat like you. It annoys me to see you alive!" She shot one final arrow at me.
I blacked out.
I'm dying of blood loss? I can't tell. Can shingami die of blood loss?. Someone's calling my name? "Chi…chiue…?" I opened my eyes a bit. There he was. Am I dreaming? "Kiddo-kun!" he shouted. "Chichiue… I'm sorry I said that about you…" I managed to say. "Kiddo-kun! It's okay! Don't worry about it! Chichiue loves you no matter what!" I felt water drip on my face. "Chichiue… Don't cry, Chichiue…" "Kid! Look! I'm home now! See? We can eat together and play together again! Just like the old times! See?" I smiled a bit. I tried to sit up, but felt a sharp pain in my chest. I touched it… Blood? Right. I'm bleeding. "I love you Chichiue…I feel so tired. I want… to sleep…" I felt like he was shaking me. "No Kiddo! If you sleep you won't wake up! Wake up Kid! I'll be home more often from now on! Promise! It'll be fun! So please! Wake up!" I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I smiled again. Faintly I breathed out.
"Goodnight, Chichiue."
With that, Death The Kid... Disappeared.
A/N: I tried to make it long. I rushed the ending though, maybe I'll write another one, since I enjoy tragedies so much. Who knows. Review please!
