They woke up and got ready, and arrived in Miami. Kid asked around for the address, which led them to a suburb community. When they were in front of the house Patty said, "Hey look." She pointed to the front yard. It was identical on both sides of it, which meant this was the house. This meant symmetry!

"Ah…now I see where Kid gets his OCD from…" Liz said trying not to laugh.

"I do not have OCD!" He yelled.

"OCD!" Patty yelled happily. "Grrrr…" Kid growled

"Hmm…"

"What's wrong Kid?" Liz asked

"Well it's a big house for a woman who's single…she must have a good job." Kid replied. They walked up to the front door and Kid rang the door bell. They waited until they heard footsteps coming from behind it. Kid's heart was racing at this point as the Thompsons just stood there behind him. He gulped as the door clicked and it opened. But the person at the door was a girl, maybe around nine years old. She looked like Kid, except for the brown hair and gray eyes.

"Who're you? And why do you have only one set of stripes on your head? If my mama saw that she'd go crazy." the little girl asked.

Kid was horrified and was hiding his true feelings behind a fake smile. And the stripe thing made him feel worse. "Uh, I'm an old friend's of your mom's child. Um, my father wanted me to tell her something. Is she home?" Kid said, still doing the fake smile.

"You're weird, but yeah she is here. Hold on Stripy." She said closing the door.

"Ha-ha, Stripy!" Patty laughed.

Kid was devastated and looked down towards his feet, and Liz knew too, just how that was Kid's mother's daughter. "Ki…Kid…" Liz said trying to reach for his shoulder but the door clicked again. It opened and out walked a black haired woman with gray eyes who was beautiful. Kid looked so much like her and the two sisters gasped.

"Yes? Uh, you're an old friend of mine's kid?" the woman asked.

Kid sighed and looked up from the ground, his gold starring into her gray. She gasped and fell back towards the door, her hand clasped against her mouth. "You're…you're…" she managed to get out.

"Um, yeah…" Kid said.

"Why're you here?" She asked still against the door.

"…"

"Uh, I'm sorry. I can't do anything for you, so please leave. And your stripes are bothering me…" She said opening the door to get back inside.

"Please wait!" Kid yelled reaching out but she closed the door on him, almost crushing his fingers. From behind the door you could hear her crying and say, "Please! Go away! I don't need you here. My life's fine the way it is! You'll ruin it!"

Kid stood there completely silenced and devastated, with this shocked expression on his face.

"Ki…Kid…I'm sorry…" Liz said putting her hand on his shoulder. Patty stood there, being very serious, not stupid like her normal self. "Forget it…lets go…" Kid said, looking down and walking away. As they walked off the steps a car drove up in the driveway. A brown haired man appeared from the car, looking at them as they walked down the drive way. When they were in front of the house the door opened and out came running the little girl.

"Daddy!" she yelled happily.

"Hey sweetie!" he said bending down to hug her. Kid stopped walking and stood there, his hands clenched and him shaking. He began to run and Liz yelled, "Kid, wait!" The two went running after him as the man and daughter went back into the house.

Later they walked the streets of Death city, Kid's golden eyes looking down the whole time, not looking up once.

Liz and Patty felt horrible for their meister as they walked on through the stone streets.

"Liz, Patty, please go back to the house…" he asked them.

"Okay, don't be too long though." The two said. He flipped up his hand as he walked towards the school. When the Thompsons got back to the house they sat down on the couch. They didn't talk, they just sat there in silence, thinking of their meister's pain. Even Patty, of all people, took this as seriously as Liz.

"…"

"…"

"Poor Kid…huh Liz?" Patty said breaking the silence.

"Yeah…growing up without a mother…and then meeting her for the first time, and then she didn't even wanna see him more than a minute…" Liz said sadly.

"Yeah, but Kid still has us! Along with our friends and his dad!" Patty said happily. Liz smiled to this of what her younger sister said, just how true it was. "Well, that's true…" Liz said patting Patty's head.

Kid walked under the guillotine hallway, slowly making his way to his father's office. His eyes were red and puffy, also his nose was dripping. He didn't even bother to pull out his handkerchief and just wiped his nose on his blazer. He was on the verge of tears, because his own mother didn't even want to see him. She had started her own family, and had abandoned him. At this time Kid didn't care about the neatness of his blazer or how it was now unsymmetrical.

Lord Death (still in human form) was looking into the mirror, when he saw Kid walk in. He turned around to see his son on the verge of crying. But even Kid couldn't hold it back, and he couldn't. The tears flowed down his cheeks and he ran towards his father, wrapping his arms around him. He was crying like a newborn, nonstop, and it was depressing to hear.

Lord death hugged his son as Kid nuzzled himself into his father, still crying. This hug was probably the actual first one from his father.

"You lied! She never loved me! She cl-slammed the door in my face and yelled at me to go away! I hate her!" Kid yelled sniffling, the tears dripping off his face.

"I knew you would do this…why Tsukiko?" Lord Death thought still holding his son. Kid was still crying and Lord Death kissed the top of his son's head and rubbed his back, trying to comfort him.
