Kid was enjoying his time with his friends. His dream was long forgotten and now he, along with everyone else had gotten ice cream. He had even freaked out a little on how he needed 2 scoops of ice cream (since 8 was not permitted) instead of 1.
Everyone had just finished their ice cream when it happened. There was a thud and everyone turned to see Kid lying on the ground, laughing. "Kid!" Liz yelled and went to him. "Oh no . . ." Tsubaki muttered. Soul and Maka stared in shock, while Black Star followed Liz and Patti to help Kid.
Kid was still laughing and luckily (or unluckily) not a lot of people were out at the moment. "Wha-what do we do?" Liz asked. Patti looked worried and shook her head, not knowing. Black Star sighed, "I could knock him out with my soul wavelength. Then we could bring him more easily to the DWMA."
Liz nodded solemnly as Black Star did as he had said and Kid's laughing stopped. All was silent. Kid . . .how could this happen? Liz thought.
-Inside Kid's mind-
Pain. All over Kid's body. His head hurt, his body, his hands, arms and legs. He wasn't bleeding, he was sure of that, but there was pain. It was as if someone had taken someone had punched him repeatedly, but not hard enough to break his skin.
Then there was the darkness. He couldn't see a thing, but he could hear things.
There was a women screaming, it was as she was scared of something. "No! Don't!" were the only words she was saying. Eventually the screaming stopped and turned into crying and sobbing.
Kid somehow felt very angry, not at the woman, but at something-someone- else. Then the sobbing and crying turned to laughter. A wicked laugh and for some reason Kid joined in. He loved the feeling of just laughing at nothing.
Nothing . . .is this what it feels like to be insane? The peace of not having to think of anything?
"Death the Kid. You were born a Shinigami and you are destined to follow your father's path, but you'll have to overcome this insanity first if you ever want to become a Shinigami," said a voice that Kid didn't know.
"Why are you even talking to him bruder? He's unconscious and it's not like he would remember us from when he was little," came a different voice. Kid didn't open his eyes because he wanted to know more about what they were talking about. Although he did notice one thing about them, they both had German accents.
The first voice continued, "Prussia, you know that one day, if he ever gets over this insanity, he'll know about us. I don't get why Lord Death has been keeping us from him, he knew about us when he was younger."
'Prussia' laughed, "You weren't even here yet . . .then again neither was I. It was just China, Rome, Ancient Greece, and I think Germania that knew Lord Death when he was younger."
"Dumbkomph," the first voice muttered. "Aw, come on Germany! I'm awesome! Not a dumbkomph!" Kid opened his eyes and saw 'Prussia' and 'Germany'.
He glanced around him and noticed he was in the infirmary., in one of the beds. "Ah . . .what?" he asked and 'Prussia' and 'Germany' noticed him. 'Prussia' laughed again, "So the prince awakens. Well, you went a bit crazy for a moment there, but Stein says you'll be fine now." 'Germany' sighed, "Yeah . . .fine."
Kid didn't know why, but he liked 'Prussia' and 'Germany', although why they called each other countries' names was a mystery. "Um . . .well I should really go," Kid said. "That wouldn't be a good idea," 'Germany' said. Kid didn't hear and started to sit up, but the pain from his dream suddenly sprung up in his whole body.
He laid back down, "Damn," he muttered. "Eh, don't worry kiddo, you just need some rest," 'Prussia' said. "Kid," 'Germany' said in a softer tone then before, "do you know who we are?" "No, other then calling yourself 'Germany' and 'Prussia' I don't know who you are," Kid replied, anger rising in his voice. "But obviously you know my father."
'Germany' sighed, "I see. Well then I guess I'll tell you." 'Prussia' glanced at his brother, "Seriously West? Lord Death is going to kill you then, although I guess he's too busy talking with America."
"Yes," 'Germany' replied then looked back at Kid, "We are the personifications of Germany-well I am. That is Prussia, my older brother. He only exists because I do. If I die, he does and so does the country of Germany."
Kid's eyes widened, "So . . .every country has someone like you . . .and my father knew about you and, he didn't TELL ME?" "Pretty much," Prussia said, "And right now he's talking to America about your insanity."
Kid sat up in the bed, ignoring the pain, "Then why are you two here? Why not just America since Death City is in . . .that country." He was having a hard time letting the information sink in, but he decided to just start asking his main questions.
Prussia laughed, "Kesesesese~ Well I'm too awesome to not meet Lord Death's son, but we came because there was reportings of a witch in our country and Lord Death wanted to talk to us about it. See if it was effecting us."
"Then we found out about what happened to you and you've gone into your insane state," Germany continued. "My insane state?" Kid asked. "We'll let your father explain that to you," Prussia said. "You also mentioned something of meeting me when I was little," Kid continued.
"When you were first born, Lord Death let us and some of the other countries, including America meet you. He thought you should know about us, but a few days later he decided against it," Germany explained, "and we still don't know why."
"Germany, Prussia," came a voice from behind and it was Spirit with another person behind him. Spirit noticed Kid, "Oh . . .so did . . ."
Prussia nodded, "We told him, he deserves to know, right, America?" He asked the person behind Spirit. America shrugged, "Oh I don't know, just that Lord Death is already pissed off."
"What is he mad about?" Kid asked. "The witch," Spirit blurted out. Everyone glanced at him, expecting a better explanation. Spirit's eyes widened realizing what he'd said, "I wasn't supposed to say that!"
"Spirit, does Lord Death know who the witch is?" Germany asked. Spirit nodded, "Maybe you should go talk to him, while I watch Kid."
Kid shook his head, "No, I'm coming. I need to know if my father has been keeping anything else from me."
He got up and thankfully the pain had subdued, "Germany, Prussia you don't mind if I come with you?" "Of course not!" Prussia said. Germany sighed, "I guess."
(Outside of Death City)
A lone silver wolf walked into the desert, her tail swishing happily. So it has begun and Lord Death will ever regret doing those things to me.
Germany and Prussia! I had to fit them in somewhere. Well in the next chapter, Lord Death gets in trouble.
