Chapter 4: Father and Son
As Kid approached the figure and squinted. "Who's this?" Kid called out
The figure turned around it was the boy's father, the same man who believed in Kid before he met Liz and Patty and the others. It was the Old Shinigami himself. Death was wearing a white cloak but his mask was made of pure silver. He waved his over sized hand. "Hiya Kiddo!" Death called Kid over
Kid ran towards to his father hugging him tightly. Kid's eyes swollen with tears and smiled. "Father.." Kid started "I missed you so much..." Kid began to sob
Death hugged his son back tightly. "I missed you too" Death chuckled
"But I want to say something and also do something" Death continued
"Hmm?" Kid tilted his head confusingly
Death quickly reaper chopped Kid possibly cracking the skull "OW!" Kid shouted painfully
"What was that for father?" Kid asked still in pain
"I have been with you spiritually for 3 years already and you blame yourself!" Death yelled displeasingly
"And you didn't listen to Liz to the past years that my death is NOT your fault!" Death raised his voice
Kid flinched. "Kid, I can't move on until you do, and I can't Rest In Peace" Death sighed
"I'm sorry father" Kid apologized as his golden stared at the silver sparkling mask
"It's fine but son" Death put both his hands on Kid's shoulders to avoid his OCD freak outs
"The reason I died is because I know you're ready and you'll be a better Shinigami than I was" Death said happily
"You know how to be organized, well balanced, and I see something ...new about you" Death said to his son
"New?" Kid questioned
"New, like a very special emotion... Love but a different kind of love... Love towards um" Death began to chuckle happily
"Liz" He finished his sentence Kid's face got crimson red.
"F-Father, W-what, H-h-how did y-you know?" Kid stuttered
"Since the first day you met her, I studied your eyes, you body language towards Liz. When she spoke you perked up and eyes sparkled as you listened to her and you still do" Death pointed out Kid's past action
Kid's face got redder. "O-Oh" Kid simply replied with a bit of embarrassment in his voice
Lord Death smiled and hugged Kid "I Love You Son" Death hugged tighter
"I Love You Too Dad" Kid replied while hugging back his father Death began to fade.
"So you finally understood it's not your fault" Death said proudly Kid nodded as Death faded more and more to space. "Good bye son" Death farewell his boy
"Good bye father" Kid sadly waved goodbye Death finally faded completely with a short bang causing Kid to awake from his meeting with his father
