I do not own Soul Eater!
Kid POV (I hope you like it.)
I couldn't sleep the whole night. It's like the time when I forgot to fold the tip of the toilet paper into the triangle, but this is much worse. Back then I simply went back and folded the end of the toilet paper, but this is an itch that I cannot scratch… a where's Waldo that I cannot find. There is something wrong with this mission. I can feel it deep within my gut.
"Kid, are you alright? You haven't said anything the entire ride." I'm momentarily snapped out of my thought bubble. For a moment I am in a daze. My surroundings are unfamiliar, until I look into the ever pleasant face of Maka sitting in the seat in front of me starring. That's right. We are on a train headed to Caro to investigate a new witch by the name of Nessa Shibusen. Crap Maka's looking at me, did she ask me something?
"Kid, I asked if you alright?"
"Oh… Yes…. I'm fine. Don't worry about me I was just lost in thought I guess." I'm not fooling anyone. Maka knows I am lying to her but being the considerate person she is she drops the subject and starts up a conversation with Soul.
Bing Bong
You have now arrived at Caro train station. Thank you for ridding Death railroads. Please come again.
"It's about time we arrived I was starting to go crazy being in that train for hours." Black Star complains complaining as usual as we all pile out of the train and onto the platform below.
"Black Star, We were only on the train for about 75 minutes." Tsubaki tries to explain to Black Star with no luck.
"It might as well have been hours since there was no one on the train to admire my greatness." At this moment Black Star starts flexing his muscles making everyone else feel uncomfortable. "Not just anyone has muscles like these." Black Star finishes off his show of affection by giving each flexed out arm a kiss making me want to throw up my lunch.
"If you're quite done we have a job to full so we should probably get a move on, don't you think?"
"Kids right! Let's go kick some evil which butt! Come on Patty." Liz and Patty go running ahead of us holding hands and laughing as they go. I often find myself envious of the two because they have one another. They have someone that completely understands them and accepts the good and the bad.
It's only about a ten minute walk from the train station to Caro. The town is definitely not what we expected.
"This might just be but, I think there's something seriously off about this town."
"Black Star is not just you. There's no one here." Maka says with slight irritation and disbelief.
The town looks completely deserted. The only sign of life was the vegetables in the garden were still alive
"There's people here. They are just hiding. Look at the vegetables over there. They are shinning which means they were watered a couple minutes ago." I reach down and stick my hand in the dirt where the vegetables are planted in to make my statement sound.
"Wait!" Maka takes off running down an alley.
"Maka wait! We don't know what's out there." I sprint after with the others not far behind.
"Please wait! I just want to talk to you." Maka jumps high into the air landing in front of a small boy looking no older than 12 years old. The kid takes a quick change of direction thinking he can get away by back tracking but we were too quick and had already built a human wall blocking the kids exit. Suddenly the kid crouches down into a fetal position and starts to cry while rocking and grabbing a hold of his head.
"Please don't hurt me… I'm sorry."
Taking a cautious step towards the child not wanting to scare him away. I crouch down in front of the boy and place a calming hand on his head and start to rub.
"You have nothing to be sorry about. We chased after you scaring you half to death and I apologize for that." The child looks up at me with red watery eyes and I give him a reassuring smile letting him know he's alright. "Do you think we could ask you a couple questions?"
"Are you with the DWMA?" Slightly taken aback by the boys question I hesitate to answer.
"Yes… We are. My names Kid. What's yours?" Without an answer the child wipes his running nose clean off the disgusting mucus dripping down his face and stands up. It takes everything in me not fix the child's unsymmetrical hair.
"Follow me." The child starts walking towards Maka who know thinks that the child is not a threat lets him pass and we all follow behind him.
"Where are we going?" Seems no one else wants to talk so I guess I am the translator for the group.
"It's not safe being out here and I am not so good at answering questions so I am taking you to see the others."
"Others?" Seems Maka finally found her voice.
"The rest of the village. Ever since the… incident we have been in hiding."
"What incident?" Soul chimes in.
"I can't answer that. Since I am still just a kid they wouldn't tell me all that really happened."
"Can we ask you your name?" The kid seems to automatically like Tsubaki, because a small blush crept on the child's face. Tsubaki has a very mothering nature that's soothing to children. It's the reason her and Black Star make such good partners.
"It's Hirro."
Hirro led us to a big building in the middle of the town and after pulling out a small key from his pocket he swung the doors open to reveal a big room holding about 200 people.
"Hirro who are these people!" A man looking to be in his fifties with a full head of white hair and a small white line outlining the rim of his jaw comes running over to us shutting the door quickly and then glaring down at us.
"They are from the DWMA. They came just like you said grandfather." The man takes a second to look all of us over quickly and then turning back to Hirro he pats him on the head and sends him off to find his mother.
"Are you the one in charge around here?" Maka gets straight to the point leaving no time for chit chat.
"Yes. My name is Charlie. I am the mayor of this town. I sincerely thank you for coming down here to help cure us of this plague."
"Yes, What exactly going on here." I can't help the restless feelings that are overtaking me. I am hoping that whatever this man knows will help me get rid of this unease.
"Well you see it started about a week ago….
Cliffhanger! Hahaha Sorry but I have to leave something to be desired. I am sorry that this chapter wasn't all that interesting but I have to lay out some details somehow. I promise in the next chapter there will be some violence and you all will be able to meet Nessa. The reason for putting this story under an M rating will come up in the next two to three chapters. PLEASE Review and give me some feedback on my story. I would love to know what I can improve on and Kid is my favorite character in Soul Eater so if I am not portraying him properly please let me know. I would like to do some justice. Until Next time.
