Chapter 2
Death the Kid's PoV
After class was done, I didn't see Rima for the rest of the day. " Liz! Patty! May you please come here." I called out to my weapons, who were in human form at the moment. " Yea, Kid, what's up?" Liz said, casually. "Have you seen Rima at all today?" I asked. " Rima? Who's that?" Patty asked, with a befuddled expression. I looked at her and Liz just gave a shameful sigh. " Well, Patty, Rima is the new girl that arrived today." I replied. Liz just looked at me and then a cat- like smile spread across her face. "Liz... what are you thinking about?" I asked, but not really wanting to know what she was thinking about. She completely ignored me and just whispered something into Patty's ear. "OH, I understand now!" Patty said, happily, clapping her hands. I glared at Liz. "Liz, what did you tell her?" I yelled. " Oh...nothing. It just seems that you have a tiny little crush on the new girl, that's all." She said, with fox like expression. "KID HAS A CRU-" Patty yelled, but I cut her off with my hand pulled over her mouth.
"Silence! Both of you. Now, let me tell you I do NOT have a crush on Rima. I just met her and I was just curious where she was that's all. Do you understand?" " Oh, I understand perfectly, Kid." Liz said, with the same expression. " ...You don't believe me, do you?" I said. " Nope!" Both of them said in unison. "Oh, come on, Kid. Its okay if you do, I mean she is really pretty. Besides, don't try to hide it I saw you blushing when she was talking to you" Liz said. 'This is true.' I thought. "That's not the point! I do NOT like her and it seems like asking you where she is was a waste of time Ugh!" I yelled once more. Then I walked off, away from the both of them.

" Do you think he's in denial?" Patty asked, looking concerned as if she hurt his feelings. "Totally, besides it's time he got a girlfriend already. You and I, being that we both care about Kid, are going to help him with that. I can't wait to tell Shinigami- sama about this! He'll be thrilled." I said, proudly with my fist over my heart. That's when our mission of helping Kid with his love problems started.

"Kid! Your home early. What's the occasion?" I said as my son went through the door. He turned around and looked at me. Seeing his angry expression, it must be something bad. " Um...Oh! Did you become friends with the new girl today? She seems nice, doesn't she?" I asked. " Why do you ask?" he said, glaring at me. "Hey, I just asked. There's no need to shoot those daggers at me." I said, defensively." I'm sorry, it's just that Liz and Patty got me upset over something rather silly." he said, trying to calm down. " Well, what did they say? Did they bring up your stripes?" I asked, wanting to know what upset him so much. My mention of his stripes didn't make things better, but he recovered from that quickly. " I rather not say, again it was silly. Well I will be in my room if you need anything." he said, with a slight blush on his cheeks. Then he left. I sighed. "Kids, you may not understand them but you still gotta love them." I felt bad that he was so upset, but it doesn't make anything better if he doesn't tell me why he's upset. "Oh well." I said aloud. Then I went back to what I was doing.

"Ugh, what's their problem? That's completely absurd! All I wanted was to know where Rima was, is that so hard to ask? But, no, they had to make it into a big deal and go on about how I have a crush on her…WHICH I DO NOT!" I said, yelling at my room wall about my problems. I fall back on my bed and look at the ceiling. I stare at it for a while and become sleepy, and soon I'm falling into my own world. "Kid?" I turn around and see Rima, dressed all in white. She had such a sad look on her face, like she was about to cry. "Rima…Rima what's wrong?" I rush over to her to see if she was all right, but she stepped back. "Please, help me…" She started crying, mumbling on how I should help her and how someone is going to get her." Help you? With what? What's going to get you? Please Rima I don't understand what's going on!" I started to panic a little, not knowing what to do in this situation. Then, she stopped crying. She started walking closer to me. "Please, Rima tell me what's wrong. I can help." She was now in front of me. She moved closer, her face near my ear and whispered. "You will be the end of me." My eyes went wide and then she fell, now cold as stone. Everything around me was falling apart and now I was falling into an abyss of nothing and then with a jolt I woke up out of that wrenched world.
When I woke up, sitting up straight now and I was sweating. I looked around and everything was back. I was in my own room, and I sure wasn't falling into an abyss of nothingness. I realized my breathing was fast. "It... it was just a dream." A wave of relief washed over me. I fall back on my bed and close my eyes. 'Why did that dream seem so real, why was she so afraid?" So many questions filled my mind at that moment. I opened my eyes and sighed. I got off my bed and left my room, maybe Dad will know what this means.
