Striped Soul

Next chapter time! :D

Sorry it took so long for me to post like I said before, this fanfic site took away my uploading privileges for me being a forgetful idiot and uploading an author's note :P

Anyways, I hope you like this chapter; it's only going to be Kid's point of view with the chat boxes. The next chapter will be Soul's and then Black*Star's.

I will not be able to fit in 'that' idea from my regular reviewer (You know who you are and that you're awesome) for a while. I'm sorry, but I promise you it will play an important role later in the story.

Anyways, I've rambled on long enough, here's the next chapter~

Hope you like!

Chapter 6

Kid's chat box (es)

Kid typed quickly to the newly logged on soul the second he saw the name;

Kid: Hi Soul, what's up?

Kid waited a few seconds until he heard a ding and saw a small flash on the screen.

Soul: Nothing much, how are you? You okay?

Kid blushed and smiled at the thought of Soul being worried about him.

Kid: I'm fine. I just can't go to school tomorrow though since I'm still sick…

Soul: Aw, that sucks. So not cool.

Kid: Yep…

Soul: Well how are things going with Liz and Patty? They making a lot of noise?

Kid: No, in fact it's starting to worry me how quiet they're being. Especially Patty…

Soul: Whoa! Patty Thompson is being quiet! Wow! :O

Kid: Haha :)

Kid smiled in real life as well as giggling a little bit.

Soul: Did I make you smile? Or laugh?

Kid: Huh? Why?

Soul: Well, they say laughter and smiles are the best medicine so… Yeah :)

Kid blushed, 'Soul tried to make me laugh, so I could get better! He's so kind…' Kid thought to himself while typing.

Kid: Thanks. That's really nice of you. :)

Soul: Well, friends are friends, and if they're not nice to you then obviously no one is!

Kid: True, true.

A couple seconds passed while Kid was waiting for any sort of response when he heard a ding on his computer. Kid looked at the chat box with Soul, but nothing new. Then he noticed a flashing tab next to it, so the golden-eyed boy clicked it and read the message.

Black*Star: Hey Kid, you feeling any better?

It was Black*Star. Kid was a little surprised at how Black*Star was worried about him, then he remembered what Soul typed just a second ago; 'Friends are friends, and if they're not nice to you then obviously no one is!' Kid decided to reply.

Kid: Hi Black*Star. I'm feeling better, but I still can't go to school tomorrow though…

Black*Star: Aw… Now one very important person of our group won't be there… :(

Kid: Sadly…

Black*Star: So who's taking care of you?

Kid: You should know who's taking care of me right now, Liz and Patty! :P

Black*Star: Of course, but I mean tomorrow when they go to school.

Kid: Huh? Oh… Didn't think about that… Oh well, I can take care of myself. It'll be fine.

Black*Star: You sure? Cause I could look after you if you want.

Kid shook his head. 'No way, Black*Star take care of me? Yeah right…'

Kid: I'm sure. Thanks though.

Kid looked back at Soul's tab, Soul still hadn't replied yet. 'It doesn't say he's offline…' Then another ding came up on Black*Star's.

Black*Star: C'mon, I can surpass god! Do you think I can't take care of the sick?

Kid: It's not that I don't think you can't, it's just I don't need it. Thanks though.

Black*Star: C'mon!

Kid: Why are you so insisting? Did you enter a bet or something?

Black*Star: No, I just want to make sure my friend is okay.

Kid just stared at the screen for a few seconds, slightly shocked that Black*Star would be willing to just sit around and check up on him. After a few moments of confusion it was quickly broken by a ding and a flash on Kid's screen. It was Soul.

Soul: Hey, sorry for the long wait. Something annoying came up.

Kid: It's okay. It wasn't too long, besides, Black*Star kept me entertained while I waited.

A few seconds passed before Soul replied again.

Soul: Black*Star is at your house with you?

Kid: No! No! He's chatting with me in another tab.

Soul: Oh, okay.

Kid: Why did you think he was here?

Soul: I guess I just read wrong.

Kid: Okay then.

Soul: Hey, I have to go.

Kid let a look of disappointment spread across his face.

Kid: Okay then, talk to you later?

Soul: Sure thing. See ya.

Kid: Bye.

*Soul is now logged off*

Kid sighed to himself, picked up his laptop, sat down on his bed, and leaned on the head board looking up with the laptop on his lap. The screen flashed and caught his attention, it was Black*Star again. Kid sighed and as he sat up he thought to himself 'I don't want to talk anymore…' So without really thinking the golden eyes skimmed the new message and typed the reply.

Black*Star: Kid, you there?

Kid: Yeah, I'm here. Sorry, I was just talking to someone.

Black*Star: Ah, okay. Anyway, should I come over and check up on you tomorrow?

Kid absentmindedly wrote his reply as he started to slowly drift off into a state of sleep. He couldn't stay awake too long due to the fever.

Kid: Sure, whatever. I have to go, see you.

Black*Star: Awesome! See you then!

*Black*Star has logged off*

Still not realizing what he had wrote, Kid closed his laptop, put it on the ground, pulled the covers up to his chest, and fell asleep silently.

Chapter 6 End

Thanks for reading and waiting. Like I said, put my account on lock for a little while because I was forgetful and posted only an author's note when you're not supposed to… Derp :P

Any who, thanks once again for reading and being patient. I'm finishing this up at 5:33 PM.

Should the next chapter be Soul's view or Black*Star's view on the chat? You tell me. I'm going to write both, just post them in different orders, you know, to reveal different points in the story at different times.

Thanks for reading once again, please review and stuff!

~See you soon~

~Kaze~
