"Hey Kid"
Death the Kid briefly glance to his left, "Soul" he greeted.
Soul, with his hands tugged in his jacket's pocket grinned his pointy shark-like teeth at his friend. "Maka wanted to know what time you guys will head out,"
Kid raised both eyebrows, because it must be symmetrical, until the commotion this morning dawned on him. "Oh, the trip" he nods his head once, "We will depart as soon as Liz and Patty are done packing."
"I'm finish!" Patty, the youngest of the two Thompson sisters skipped to attention. "Let's play basketball until Lizzy is ready!" out of nowhere, a basketball bounced its way towards Patty and she quickly snatched it up and dribbles to the net.
"I'm team captain!" BlackStar jumps off a building and does a double front flip before landing swiftly on the court to join Pat.
"Be careful BlackStar" Tsubaki's soft voice emerged from the street as she walks towards the court.
"You worry too much! Don't you know that something like that is nothing for someone as godly as I am?" BlackStar posed, one hand on hip while his legs spread to shoulder length and he brings up his free hand to give her a thumps up, smirking as he did so.
"Eh… Yes of course" An oversize teardrop symbol appeared on Tsubaki's left forehead as she gave a nervous laugh.
Kid sighed and looked up to the sky. "Pat, what's taking your sister so long?" he said in a very calm voice.
"She can't decide what to bring with her and she keeps wondering about what to wear" she yells back.
Soul rolled his eyes heavenward, "Maka is in the same boat. She's been packing and unpacking for hours"
"Women." Kid simply said.
"No kidding." Soul added.
Suddenly an agonizing blow knocked Soul out conscious, Maka stood atop of him and humped.
Kid, utterly startled stepped back mistakenly into Lizzy's awaiting finger to pull his ear down.
"OW!" Death the Kid yelped and hastily steps away from the angry Liz. "What was that for!" he demanded, his right hand rubbing his ear.
"Women, huh?" Liz's haunty expression blazed at Kid. Making her look fierce and… Incredibly sexy.
Kid's eyes wandered downward to the white cut-off jacket that revealed the swell of her modest breasts and then further down to her navel to the pleasantly plumped hips which seemed wider than usual as her dark blue jeans fitted neatly all the way down to her angles. His throat instantly felt dry.
"Sissy!" Patty jumps at Liz and hugs her. Unnecessary jealousy overwhelmed the young shinigami.
"Say, where's Crona?" Maka asked out loud.
"Over here," a shaky boy with purplish-pink hair and wide frightened eyes approached awkwardly towards the group. "But I don't know how to go on vacation, I've never been in this situation before" he complained while hiding behind Maka.
"It's okay, we'll show you the ropes" BlackStar pats Crona really hard on the back than threw his head back to let out a loud laugh.
"Be nice to him!" Maka advanced to the little assassin.
Soul must have gotten up some time ago because he was back at Kid's side without him being aware of it.
"You're drooling" Soul whispered, Kid immediately straightened himself after calmly wiping his mouth with one sleeve. His usual nonchalant self nearly faltering a second time because Liz was staring at him rather intently.
"Is everything well?" he asked.
She blinked once. Twice. Then a smirk appeared but otherwise continued to remain soundless. Turning around, she sashayed her way to the bench that Tsubaki was occupying.
"Is there something you find so amusing?" Kid asked irritably to a snickering Soul.
"Nothing at all" he replied, grinning.
The game of basketball continued on another round until BlackStar dashed off "Let's go!" yelled back over his shoulder before disappearing out of sight.
"BlackStar wait!" Tsubaki pleaded as she runs after him, "you forgot your bag!"
Some distance behind, Crona was being pushed by Patty to move forward while Soul followed closely behind Maka. Leaving Kid and Lizzy to cover the rear. He sighed and was about to address Liz until the sight of her bending down to pick up her bag all but forced him to remain rigidly still. By the time she stood back up to her full height, Kid had already been consumed by a strange bittersweet sensation.
"Ready?" she inquired,
'What answer do I give?' he asked mentally,
"Kid?"
Clearing his throat, he picks up two identical suitcases and stiffly walks after the others. Lizzy fell into steps beside him.
"You know, you've been acting weird lately" she commented, "are you getting sick?"
"Shinigamis don't get sick" he announced proudly.
"Hey Kid"
"Yeah?"
"Can I call you Kiddo?"
"Absolutely NOT!" he raged.
"Much better" she giggled, "now there's the Kid that I know."
Flustered and somewhat amused, a small smile almost found its way to his lips… Almost. They walked for a while, both enjoying each other's company in peace. That was until Kid noticed that she was starting to shiver.
"Are you cold?" he stopped, waiting for an answer so he could remove his sweat shirt for her to use.
"Mm? Oh no, actually uhmm..." His full attention snap to Liz's worried face, waiting for her to speak her mind. And the fact that he's even waiting in the first place made him curious. Liz isn't the type to hesitate on anything, unless it's got something to do with ghosts and monsters.
Kid calculated up to seven minutes and forty nine seconds that they'd stood there, him watching her watching the ground. Wondering and beginning to feel concern, hoping that whatever it is, it isn't going to be bad news for anyone.
"Elizabeth" he said softly. Lizzy's bewildered eyes scanned his face before he realized what he said.
"It's nothing" she said quickly and power walked away from him so fast, he was forced into jogging while trying to balance his two heavy cases. 'What in symmetrical damnation is wrong with her?'
"Hang on a second" Maka paused suddenly, "Have we decided where to go yet?"
Everyone was stomped by the question, "I thought we were going to Hawaii" Tsubaki scratched the back of her head, laughing nervously.
"NO!" Crona exclaimed, "I heard about that place. That everyone always wants to hug you, trying to kiss your cheeks and give you things like flower necklaces to show their hospitality… I wouldn't know what to do in that situation!" he panicked and Patty laughed openly at him.
"Well I don't know about you guys but the last time we went to Italy, I was denied from eating great pasta" Soul glared at Maka, who was purposely ignoring him.
"How about Ireland?" Death the Kid suggested and everyone turned around to stare at him.
"What could possibly be in Ireland that's got you interested?" Lizzy asked in an ironic tone. Kid shrugged his shoulders "I occasionally stop by for a few drinks," he admitted.
"Woah! You drink?"
"Occasionally"
A few long seconds past and everyone could not think of anything to say. A few more seconds ticked by then Patty began laughing and Crona spoke up "Maybe we should go to Hawaii after all," Everyone but Patty whipped their heads around to stare at him next. "I just don't want to see a drunken shinigami!" he said defensively. "I wouldn't know what to do in that situation" he mumbled under his breath.
"Okay! It's settled, last one to beach has to dance the hula!" Patty shrieked excitedly and hopped into the portal.
Blackstar pushed Crona in before jumping into it, then Tsubaki and Liz tailed after them.
"Sooo" Soul dragged, "Wanna make a pit stop to Ireland before meeting up with the others?" his familiar grinned indicated something mischievous.
"I don't particularly care" Kid lied. Truth is, he's been craving something that can burns his throat. "But, the others?"
"BlackStar will keep a watch on them, and besides" the portal flashed and displayed a field with a medieval looking castle far in the distance. "You look like you need a drink" he hops in and Kid watched him free-falling towards a clearing.
An image of Lizzy's angry expression came to mind and made him shutter.
"You coming?" Soul yelled from the other side.
Sighing for the nth time that day, he casually stepped through the portal and skateboarded downward to the clearing.
"This needs to be brief"
"We'll be quick, now hurry up and lead the way" Even though he said that, Soul was already walking towards a town not too far from where they stood while Kid was following the map from his memories to his favorite bar.
