-9 days later-
Kid sat on the couch, reading a book on different weapons and their abilities. He set the book aside to scribble some notes, then sat up straight, letting himself have a break. The weapons were interesting, but he had more important matters on his mind.
Suddenly, two arms wrapped around the back of his neck and hugged him from behind. Someone breathed down their neck.
"Back already?" Kid asked with a smile, not looking.
"How'd you know it was me?" Kiachi pouted, putting her head on top of his and looking down at him.
He looked up at her. "You're the only one who spontaneously hugs me."
She squeezed. "You know me so well," she purred.
Kid leaned back, letting her hold him. "So how was shopping?"
Kiachi let go and flipped over the couch to sit beside him. She sat close enough to brush him, sitting extremley close to Kid. Kid didn't mind, though most people might have.
"Liz and Patty went clubbing, so I came home," she said, leaning on his shoulder.
"Ahh," Kid said.
Suddenly her phone rang. She took one look at the caller I.D. and threw it away from her, across from Kid.
"Who is it?" Kid asked, looking at the little red phone.
"Soul," Kiachi said quietly.
Kid looked at her curiously. "And why won't you answer?"
Kiachi stood up. "I think i'll go get ready for bed," she said, her voice shaking. She dashed out of the room, not bothering to take the phone with her.
Kid stood up and watched her go, wanting to know what the problem was. But no one would talk. Two days ago, after spending the night with Soul and Maka, she came into the house with a scarf hiding her neck. When it fell off, Kid saw bruises lining their way across her neck. Before that, she had a cut on her arm. When he asked, Liz and Patty, they refused to tell.
"It's a sisterhood thing," Liz said to him.
Kid ran a hand through his hair.
What was happening to this girl he loved?
-The Next Morning-
Kid went up to knock on Liz and Patty's door, but was almost slammed in the face with the door opening. Kiachi ran out and ran straight for her room.
Kid walked in to see Liz and Patty looking extremley sad. "What was that?" Kid asked, demanding for answers.
"If Kiachi wants to talk about it to you, then she will," Liz said.
"Why can't you tell me?" Kid asked.
"Kia asked us not to," Patty said.
"If she's getting hurt, I want to know," Kid demanded.
"We can't!" Liz yelled at him.
Kid slammed the door on them.
When Kid walked down the main hall, he saw Kiachi zipping up a large suitcase. She looked sad.
"Whats going on?" Kid asked.
Kiachi didn't answer.
"Please tell me!" Kid begged her. "I need to know if you ok."
Kiachi straightened up and gave him one long look. He didn't know it might be the last look she gave him.
"Goodbye..." she said, opening the door.
She was gone.
Kid stood there for too long.
"Wait!" he finally screamed, then ran out the front door.
"KIACHI!" He screamed, looking up and down the streets.
She was gone.
He had let her go.
"Kiachi..." he choked out, sinking to his knees.
Hands grabbed his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Kid." Liz said.
"Why'd she leave?" Kid choked out between sobs.
"Soul wanted her to be with him," Patty said sadly.
"It's a worse situation than you could imagine, Kid," Liz said.
He sobbed harder.
