|Chapter Four|
"I didn't think that he would end the call that soon..." chuckled Medusa and then she turned towards Mishi's group. "you four have been helpful. Don't that that helpfulness fade away, I want you four to go and guard this place."
Mishi and her group nodded, leaving the room.
Kid took in deep breaths. The reaper's head hung low and blood dripped down the side of his face, pain ached all around his body and his heart pounded so hard it felt as if it were going to thump out of his chest.
Arachne knelt, "have we broken you?"
Kid raised his head a little and spat on her. Speckles of red were met with her face and Arachne narrowed her eyes, "how rude."
Smackk! Kid's head flew to the right from the impact. Quickly, Kid glared at Arachne again, hatred burning within his eyes.
"It looks like I have a mess on my face..." Arachne rolled her eyes. "that can be fixed."
Much to Kid's disgust, Arachne's tongue slipped out of her mouth and she licked up the blood that sat on her face. Kid's face contorted in repugnance.
Arachne's eye's became wide and a grin reached both her ears, "Oh! How pleasant! The taste is almost unbearable! It's delicious! And it is not just the blood of a grim reaper, it is the blood of a tortured grim reaper!"
Kid shivered, biting down on his lip, finding her words moderately daunting.
Medusa let out a chortle and bent down next to her sister, "If it is truly as delectable is you say, then I strive to try it as well."
Kid swallowed hard, his heart continued to drum harder and harder every second. He couldn't remember the last time he was as petrified in terror as he was in now.
Medusa raised her hand slowly and plunged it into Kid's shoulder wound, engendering a yelp from Kid. Medusa pulled her hand out and examined the sticky crimson that coated her hand. Horror-struck, Kid watched as Medusa licked his blood from her hand.
His stomach churned, his vision became obfuscated and he was introduced to a grueling headache. He felt as if he was descending into a pool of pain an anguish.
Giriko noticed almost immediately, which was strange, "looks like that little bug we sent him is traveling through his system."
"Well, I think you're quite right." Medusa sniggered and stood tall once more. "I think we should let our little prisoner rest. It will be short lasted but we don't want him dying, do we?"
Gopher scoffed, arms folded across his chest, while Noah and Arachne silently agreed, depressed that they had to leave right when it was getting interesting and fun.
"Get some rest, Death the Kid. You'll be needing it." Medusa cleared her voice and stomped out of the room, Arachne following close.
Treading behind the two, was Giriko. Noah turned towards Kid and purposely tilted his hat to only one side instead of the middle, a smirk sitting on his face as he tee-heed at the angered look Kid was giving him.
Gopher rolled his eyes at Kid and muttered the word, "'pathetic'", before slamming the iron door behind him. Once Kid was sure that they were gone, he let go of a breath he didn't know he was holding onto.
Bug...? What were they talking about?
Was that the reason Kid was sick? Well, obviously...
Kid needed to find a way out.
Lord Death had been standing in the exact same spot for minutes...he couldn't watch his son being tortured. He couldn't strain his heart like that. His cheery mood had turned pessimistic incredibaly fast once he saw the state of his son and what they were doing to them.
How could he watch his son being mutilated in that way, was absolute torment to Death as well.
Spirit dared say something. Tension buzzed in his ears and he watched Lord Death there, so still, so...heartbroken.
Spirit would be that exact way as well, if his precious Maka was kidnapped and abused for power or just for the fun of it...or making himself suffer. He couldn't imagine how much agony Kid- and his father - were in at this very moment.
"L-Lord...Death...?" Spirit choked.
Death continued to stand there, un-moving. Spirit took that as a sign to continue but was cautious about it, "S-should...I get Stein...or-"
"How..." Death mumbled.
Spirit stopped and straightened.
"How could this happen...?" Death pondered. "A tragedy...how...monstrous...cruel...I never imagined something like this would happen to my boy...for the first time in a while...I don't know how to proceed..."
Spirit could only sigh pity, hoping Death would be alright.
"I never apologized...I never told him how sorry I was for keeping secretes from him...about yesterday...and I never..." Death choked. "...I never told him I loved him."
Kid struggled, tried to get free of the restraints he was in. But all that did was make it worse.
"Dammit..." He growled.
He had been attempting release from the chains for at least an hour and gotten no where. Finally, Kid gave that up and squeezed his eyes tight, slowly but surly slipping into a deep...painless slumber.
He felt as if he were only sleeping for minutes, before his sleep was interrupted by freezing cold water...yet again. Death the Kid's eye's opened fast, the freezing cold water sending shivers around his body.
Kid's eyes rested on the being that held the, now empty, bucket of water. Gopher.
Lethargy overwhelmed Kid, his body expecting him to close his eyes and fall back asleep again, but Gopher wouldn't have that. Gopher grabbed Kid's chin and forced him to look at him, "I hope you know how much I hate you."
"Trust me...I am aware." Kid replied.
"I hate everything about you."
"You're no big love of mine either."
"I hate your personality."
"Same goes for you...but I believe that everyone agrees with me." Kid retorted.
Gopher glowered at Kid, "Have it your way."
Gopher strolled over to the "torture table" and picked up a funnel. Kid stared at it, wondering what Gopher was planning on doing with it. But once Gopher left and returned with at least three buckets full of water, Kid's eyes widened.
"No..." Kid muttered.
A grin spread across Gopher's face at Kid's reaction. Gopher unchained Kid, slinging him over his shoulder. Kid would have fought back but drowsiness and pain overtook Kid and he found himself barley able to move.
Kid found himself thrown into a cold metal table. Kid scowled, it was probably moved in to the room while Kid was asleep. Kid tried his best to struggle but received a hard punch in the face. Gopher placed metal restraints over Kid's wrists and ankles and forcefully grabbed Kid's hair, pulling his head up.
The funnel went into Kid's mouth and a cloth was placed over his nose. Then...Gopher poured the water into the funnel. Water filled his mouth. Kid couldn't keep it in his mouth and it went down his throat.
Kid tried to move his head away but Gopher had a strong grip on his hair. He felt his stomach fill with water and then, as if Gopher knew what was about to happen and moved the funnel and water to the side.
Gopher turned Kid's head to the left and Kid emptied the water from his stomach, as well as the scarce amount of food left. Kid coughed for a moment, before Gopher repeated.
Kid felt the pain of being asphyxiated, pressure building in his chest, for his lungs burned for air. Eventually, the buckets of water were gone and the cloth was removed. Kid gasped for air, his chest rising up and down, letting out small coughs and little whimpers escaping his lips. Gopher laughed at Kid's struggles to breathe.
"Are you wondering why you haven't healed correctly?" Gopher wondered.
Kid's eyebrow's downed and he glanced at Gopher questioning expression on his face.
"I really do hate you, but for once, Medusa asked me to monologue." Gopher sighed. "Grim reapers should heal fast. But the bigger the wound, the slower the healing process. You do heal faster then a human, but with all the strain on your body,
it won't heal that quickly. As well as...a few days ago we sent a little "'bug'" into your system...causing you to heal like a human. Of course...the effects will eventually wear off, which is why we have plenty to cause you pain. Because of the human potion, you've been sick. Courtesy of us. I hope we caused you pain."
Kid grit his teeth. Focusing a glare at Gopher. After a few minutes, Gopher chained Kid how he was when he first woke up.
Medusa, Arachne, Giriko and Noah entered again.
"You had a nice two hour sleep, didn't you?" Medusa queried. "Alright...let's give a call back to daddy."
"This is bad." Maka declared.
Everyone nodded in silent agreement.
"Alright, I will go and report to Lord Death...you guys wait here."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Soul inquired. "I mean...telling Lord Death that his sons missing...could be potentially...uh...frightening?"
Maka sighed, "okay, Soul, you can come with me, you guys wait here. We'll be back in a few."
Soul waved behind him and the duo ventured towards the death room. Maka took a shivered breathe and knocked. Then she entered.
"Maka!"
Maka's facial expression became un-amused by the mention of her name by her father.
"Um...Lord Death?" Make cleared her throat.
Death turned around. Maka and Soul were both slightly surprised at the mask that was contorted in sadness.
"Yes...?"
"W-we...we came to tell you..." Maka's throat felt as if sandpaper were rubbed down it. "That..."
"Kid's missing." Soul interrupted.
Death's shoulder's slouched, "I know."
"Huh?" Soul frowned.
"Yeah...we know." Spirit said.
"Papa? How did you guys know?"
Spirit looked at his feet, "A mirror call..."
Maka and Soul both gasped when they saw a familiar face on the mirror.
"Oh hello, Lord Death!"
"Medusa!" Maka hissed.
Medusa's eyes rested on Maka, "my oh my, it has been quite a while, hasn't it...Maka?"
"What do you want!?" Soul demanded.
"I was just calling to see if Old Lord Death would consider my proposition?"
Death's mask glared at Medusa.
"I see..." Medusa rolled her eyes. "that's how it always is. Isn't it?"
Medusa stepped away. Maka and Soul gasped again, seeing Kid in the mirror.
"...K-Kid...?" Maka stammered.
Giriko was behind Kid, holding a sharp whip. A whip called, the cat of nine tails.
Each tail looked different. One looked like it had glass in it, another looked as if it had wood chips, sharp pieces of metal...painful things.
Maka's eyes widened, as Giriko raised it above his head.
CRAACKKK!
Kid screamed. Tears filled Maka's eyes, as Giriko whipped Kid brutally, each time, Kid let out a long and pained scream.
Soul could only stare. His hands curled into fists and they started to shake. He would kill them...
Tears streamed out of Kid's eyes as he was whipped. Giriko dropped the whip, and stepped aside. It was silent for a moment, except for Kid's long lasting grunts and groans.
But then...Medusa stepped into the view of the mirror, behind Kid. She held a bag of...salt.
"No!" Maka cried. "Don't!"
Medusa flashed a menacing grin, took a handful of salt and rubbed it around on Kid's back. Kid started thrashing, screaming and yelling in pain. His head flew backwards, mouth opened wide as he shrieked and jerked around.
"KIID!" Maka howled. "STOP! PLEASE! KID!"
Soul pulled Maka into a hug and she sobbed into his shoulder.
Medusa loved the reaction she was getting, it was lavishing really. She took a handful of salt and rubbed it into Kid's tender and raw fingers, where his fingernails were previously. Kid wailed in pain.
Then...Medusa dug her hand around Kid's wounds, picking out the salt pieces, for salt heals. Again, Kid flailed around screaming and bawled.
Once every. Single. Piece. Of. Salt was removed, Medusa released Kid's chains and the shinigami fell on the ground, writhing in pain.
"Remember, we can return Kid to you...give us the city, and the academy. Until next time, Lord Death."
The connection died. Death's head was low, Spirit was biting his lip, angry and sad.
Maka continued to cry into Soul's shoulder, while Soul's eyes were wide with emotions.
"We...need to inform the others of the situation..." Death stuttered. "gather the rest of Maka's team and Doctor Stein..."
They would get Kid back...
Mwaahaa! OK! How did you guys like it? Review! :D Reviews make me update! Just thought I would inform you guys of that! :D
