It has been a week since Lord Death had let his son live as a human and he is a bit worried.

He contemplates if he should go see what kind of life his son was born into, but worries that if it is bad he will want to pull him out.

Just thinking about him living a bad life makes him feel worse so he opens the portal to see his son.

Lord Death appears inside a house filled with people.

"Are you sure you're okay?" A older women asks a young man.

"Yeah, mom."

"Okay, sweetie. We'll be leaving." She hugs her son.

All the others also hug him and leave with kind words.

Lord Death notices a baby when most of them are gone.

The same old lady gets closer to the baby in the crib and picks him up.

"And you be good to your father." She says in a high pitch voice that adult use when they talk to babies.

The baby responds by laughing and playing with her shiny earrings.

She puts him back down. "Bye, Bye."

Once everyone is gone the dad gets a couple of bottles of beer and lies on the couch.

"I guess it is just me and you, kid."

He chugs one down and grabs another.

Lord Death puts the pieces together and what he comes up with is that Kid's human mother died in child-birth.

He watches the father drink the beer and hopes he doesn't become one of those drunks who beat their children.

As he walks around he finds their mail.

And on the address it says Delaware.

Lord Death then remembers that Delaware is in the United States and that Maka also lives in the United States, but she lives in Nevada.

However, Kid is still lucky because he could have had been born on the other side of the word.

He looks back at Kid. "Good luck, Kid"


A new states, a new school, and a new chance.

Ken smiles feeling optimistic about this new place.

He continues to think of more positive things that might happen.

He could get a girlfriend is one of things that pops into his mind.

And then maybe he can fall in love and then-

Ken bumps into someone since he wasn't paying attention. "Sorry." He says automatically.

The person he bumped into looks at him with a question on her face. "Why are you sorry?"

Ken is about to explain when he forgets what to do.

The only thing he can think about is her eyes and how they seem to sparkle.

"Are you okay?"

He snaps out of it and clears his throat. "Sorry." He then remembers her question. "I was apologizing before because I bumped into you."

She bites her lip and looks down. "Sorry. I was daydreaming so it was probably my fault."

"No its my fault too. I wasn't paying attention." He stares at her wondering if they have ever meet before.

"Lets just say we are both at fault. Okay?" She smiles at him.

Her smile is the prettiest he has ever seen and makes him want to take a picture so he can stare at it forever.

It is so perfect and symmetrical.

He nods. "Okay."

The girl starts to walk away so Ken does so also to keep up with her.

"My name is Ken."

"My name is Maka. It is nice to meet you." She pulls her sleeves down that it cover all of her arm. "Did you just move in?"

"Yup." He wonders why she is wearing a jacket when it is so hot outside.

Maka and Ken barely get to the bus stop on time and both were glad that they didn't miss it or else they wouldn't have a way to get to school.

Once they get to school Ken goes into the office as told so.

"May I help you." One of the office ladies ask.

"I am new and need to get my schedule."

"Okay. Please wait." She leaves to go get the schedule and a person to give him a tour around school.

Ken waits for her to some back and entertains himself by read the posters.

He hears his named called and sees that next to the woman is Maka.

"Here is your schedule." She hands it to him. "And Maka is here to give you a tour around the school."

The office woman leaves to do her work.

"What class do you have first?" Maka asks him.

"History."

"Cool. We go to the same class." She walks toward history class.

"Um, thanks for giving me a tour." He looks at her thinking that he must have met her some where.

"No problem. It's my responsibility as the school president." She stops in front of a door. "This is your first class. Is your second class Chemistry?"

He looks down at his schedule. "Yeah, how did you know?"

"I have that class too and most people in my first period are also in my second period class."

They rest of first period Maka shows him his classes and other rooms he might need to know.

The rest of the periods they have together are actually fun to Ken even tough he usually hates school, but they seem good because he sits next to Maka.

He doesn't know why, but he seems to be attached to her even tough he barely knows her.

When it is lunch Ken looks for her, but doesn't find her and looks around.

He finally finds her outside.

Ken walks toward her, but stops when he sees her with a guy.

The way they sit together makes him think they are a couple and that he shouldn't interrupt.

However, seeing her lay her head on some ones shoulder makes him jealous.

"Hey Maka."

She looks up and smiles. "Hey. You found our safe haven."

"Yeah and it's very nice."

Maka nods. "You wanna sit?"

"Sure."

"Ken this is Crona and Crona this is Ken." She introduces them.

"Hey Crona."

Crona looks down. "Hi."

"Don't be so shy. I promise he won't bite, he is very nice."

He doesn't believe her and still looks down.

"And he likes anime." Maka adds.

This makes Crona look up. "What is your favorite?"

"Fullmetal Alchemist." Ken answers.

"Have you read the manga?" He questions.

"Yea."

Crona continues to ask him many more question about a dozen different animes.

Maka smiles at how easy Crona can talk about anime.

Ken answers all of Crona's questions, but he gets distracted when he sees Maka pull her sleeves down again.

He wonders what she is hiding, but then realizes that everyone has secrets.

He would know that better than any one.
