erm, I have no excuses for this...?

I'm taking a short break from the mermaid/ocean AU (because I have zero inspiration otl)

I'm not exactly sure if this is would be accurate but I tried :'D

This would probably follow the anime plot more, because I haven't read the entire manga yet /shot

OoOoOoOo

"Leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone..."

Kid, with his head lowered, walked down the hallways of DWMA, trying to get to class. Unfortunate that his classroom was ways away from the entrance.

"Hey! OCD freak! What? Did you notice something asymmetrical on the floor?"

Kid was suddenly kicked to the ground by a much larger male student.

"Because guess what? The asymmetrical thing on the floor is you, Lord Death's 'perfect' little boy!" He mocked, and everyone began laughing and jeering at Kid as the bully and his accomplices procceded to kick him on various places. Tears pricked at his eyes as the pain stung him.

This had been going on ever since Kid had arrived at DWMA, or rather, once everyone realized how he suffered from frequent OCD attacks, making him a prime target for bullies. Normally, they would minimize it down to whispering and maybe a jeer once in a while if Liz and Patty were there with him (because they can be hella scary sometimes), but today they had both caught a pretty bad cold, and Kid insisted that they stay at home and rest, wanting the best for his weapons.

Eventually they got tired of kicking him and left Kid on the floor as the small crowd scattered. Kid painfully sat up, massaging the places where bruises were starting to form, then stood up and proceeded to walk towards his classroom.

"Fuck, there's a bruise on my cheek..." Kid said, wincing as he prodded it.

As he walked into class, Professor Stein called out to him.

"Kid! You were almost late toda-" Stein cut himself off when he noticed the bruise forming on Kid's cheek.

"May I ask about how you got that bruise Kid?" He questioned.

"Oh, this, since Liz and Patty caught a bad cold, I insisted that they stayed at home to rest. But Liz argued saying that she would go to school even if she was 'a little sick,' and at one point she hit me across the face in frustration," Kid lied, feigning a more carefree smile on his face while covering the bruise with one hand.

"I see, later go to the nurse's office to get that fixed, okay?"

Kid nodded and sat down by Maka as Stein began to lecture about dissections.

He didn't notice that Maka was eyeing him with slight suspicion and concern in her eyes.

"Is it just me or was he lying? His soul seems ever so slightly unsettled..." She thought.

OoOoOoOo

Once Kid escaped school (not without getting another barrage of jeers and a beating), he bolted home, tears streaming down his face as he shut himself inside his room while leaning against the door. He picked up a knife on his desk, put it in his pocket and then left his room and out of his house.

He walked out, not knowing where in particular he was going. Then Kid felt a raindrop plop on his face. He looked up at the sky with a bittersweet smile.

"How ironic and convenient, it's raining today as well..." Kid thought bitterly.

He elected to hide himself in the greenery of the park, and once he made sure he was out of sight, he took out the pocket knife and pulled up his sleeve, revealing the many jagged cuts that were scattered along his arm. He continued to further decorate himself while muttering.

Slash

"I'm disgusting scum."

Slash

"I'm even less than garbage."

Slash

"I should just kill myseld and die, there's no point in me existing anymore"

Kid continued to cut himself all along his body, letting the warm, crimson blood flow out of his skin. He began feeling the effects of blood loss and started to become woozy, with the strength he had left, he inserted the knife back in his pockets and slowly sank to the wet, grassy floor, awaiting death as he closed his exhausted eyes.

Maka, who had been walking by the park with an umbrella after stopping by the library, was pretty deep in thought about Kid's demeanor today, or rather, his demeanor for the past couple of weeks. Yes, she harbored a secret crush on the shinigami, but she didn't tell anyone about it. She was becoming more and more concerned about Kid, mostly about his mental state to be honest. Maka began suspecting that Kid was lying more, but she couldn't tell for sure. Suddenly Maka picked up a different soul as she walked through the park.

"The soul has three white stripes... Kid?!" Maka reallized, "What the hell is he doing out here, not to mention hiding behind all the trees?"

She followed his soul wavelength as a bad feeling continued to rush over her. His soul wavelength was very weak, even though she sensed she was very close to Kid's location. Once she saw Kid leaning against, she gasped in horror as she saw blood flowing onto the grass. Immediatley, Maka sheltered Kid from the rain with her umbrella and dialed Soul's number as fast as she possibly could with tears threatening to fall out of her eyes.

"Hey! What's up Maka?"

"Soul! This is an emergency!"

"Woah woah, what's wrong?"

"I found Kid unconscious at the park! He's bleeding a lot and I don't know what to do-"

"I got the picture, I'll be right over there on my motorcycle, and dial Prof. Stein, he'll know what to do. Dial Lord Death's number through a mirror or something while I get there okay? I'll be there in a minute or two."

"O-okay Soul, hurry!"

She then proceeded to call Professor Stein, quickly informing him of the situation, once she confirmed with him to rush to DWMA, Soul arrived on his motorcycle and they brought Kid to DWMA as fast as they could.

OoOoOoOo

Maka paced back and forth for about an hour in front of DWMA's infirmary door, anxious about Kid's well being. She prayed he was all right, after all, he was a shinigami... Right?

Black*Stad and Tsubaki had joined her and Soul almost immediately after Soul called them to tell them about the bad news. Liz and Patty also rushed back to DWMA after hearing what happened to Kid. They had mostly recovered from their colds, just the occasional sneeze or cough.

Everyone sat in silence, even Black*Star, not knowing what to say. It was just them, Kid, Lord Death, Spirit, and Stein at the academy, since it was somewhat late, casting an eerie and unsettling silence over the entire school. Lord Death was with them as well, he was obviously frantic and distraught over Kid, and he continued to worry while Spirit did his best to comfort him.

After what seemed like an eternity, Stein opened the doer, beckoning them to come inside and be quiet. Once everyone shuffled in, Stein cleared his throat, about to tell them of Kid's condition when suddenly Kid groaned, shifting slightly in the bed and tugging at the bedsheets.

"Kid! Kiddo! Are you alright?!" Lord Death asked frantically.

Kid muttered something inaudible, and everyone strained to hear.

"Why am I still breathing? Why can I still feel pain? Why can I hear voices? Why the fuck am I still alive?" Kid said, getting louder and more angry with each question. Everyone was shocked by his words, but they were even more shocked when he threw of the covers and stood up, exposing his deathly pale skin. Although Stein had wrapped up most of his opened wounds, everyone could still see the scars that were scattered all over Kid. Besides that, Kid also looked terrible as well. His normally neat hair was disheveled, his body was unhealthily thin, all the way to the point where you could see the outline of his ribcage. His looked as if he hadn't slept in weeks, and he kept the look of a cornered wild animal on his face.

Kid ripped off the bandages in fury, and while he was doing so, Stein quickly said "Lord Death, judging by his own injuries, he tried commiting suicide, and his actions prove it..."

"What the fuck?! Kid! Besides me, you're another being that is next to god itself! We're your friends you bastard, why didn't you tell us-" Black*Star began, but then was cut off short by Kid sending a hard punch in his direction, causing Black*Star to crash into the wall.

"Black*Star!" Tsubaki cried out, helping Black*Star up to his feet.

"Friends? FRIENDS?! I don't see anyone as a friend anymore! I don't give a shit anymore at this point in time! I've been enduring all the bullying, all the jeers, mocking, all the damn pain that has come along with it! If anything, you would be happy to say that there isn't another god around for you to be rivals with!" Kid screamed, eyes angrily flashing at his 'friends' and father.

"Kid! We've known eachother for a long time now! You gave us a new life, a new home, a new everything! We aren't about to just ignore you, you know?!" Liz shouted, tears welling up in her and Patty's eyes.

"Shut the hell up! I'm the monster that you should blame! I'm a piece of trash, no, even lesser than trash! I tried to kill myself but NO, THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS TO BE AGAINST ME!"

"Kiddo?! Why didn't you ever tell me?! You know I would be able to hel-" Lord Death began.

"Help? Hah! As if! You never helped when I was younger! I always had to deal with this, even when I was a little kid! You were always too busy to come home, I almost never saw you! You never understand what the hell I'm going through!"

They next words he said made everyone enter into a deathly silence.

"I absolutley hate you father, I hate you, I hate you, I fucking hate you," Kid spat.

Silence took over the rooom. Although nobody could see behind Lord Death's mask, it was evident that he was crying.

That was it. Maka ran forward and grabbed Kid's shoulders with her hands, forcing him to face directly at her.

"Kid, you idiot! We're your friends no matter what! Lord Death with always love you as his son, no matter how busy he is! We want to help you, okay?!" She said with tears rolling down her cheeks as her voice cracked. She just couldn't stand to see Kid like this. The bright white stripes that used to contrast against his raven black hair no longer had the vibrant look to them, and his once lustrous, golden eyes were now replaced with a dull yellow color, tainted with fear, sadness, anger, and...

Maka's eyes widened, realizing what the last element was.

Madness.

Kid chuckled darkly, his face covered by the shadows.

"Why didn't you ever tell us...?" Maka whispered through small hiccups, still grasping onto Kid's shoulders.

"Because I've given up on myself, given up on everyone, given up on this world," he said darkly, then grabbed Maka's arms and threw her backwards, causing her to fall on the floor pretty hard.

"Ow ow ow ow ow..." Maka winced as Soul and Spirit helped her up.

"Bastard! What are you-" Soul shouted, but then was cut off by the dark aura that seemed to surround Kid.

Stein's eyes widened.

"He's becoming tainted with the madness!" He said in alarm, causing everyone to give him and Kid a look that had the word "WHAT?!" written on their faces.

***Kid's POV***

The real world seemed to turn black, all the way until it disappeared. I was left standing in an empty room, a very very very dark and empty room. I was left with only a black T-shirt and long black trousers. Although it was ridiculously dark, I could make out a small, short table in front of me that contained a vase with drooping flowers, and as for myself, I was sitting in some sort of chair. Huh. So this is what's madness like?

Gloomy music was playing in the background.

How nostalgic.

Suddenly, a voice whispered in my ear, sending slight chills down my spine.

"Don't fight the pain, Kid. Become one with it, embrace the madness within you..." It said, then as if it were magic, it disappeared and I was left with just the gloomy music in the background.

I drew my knees into my chest and rested my chin on my knees.

"I just want to be happy, that's all..." I whimpered softly.

Not like anybody could hear me anyway.

***Back to Third Person POV***

Kid giggled, but not a carefree one. A creepy giggle, and a wide, mad grin spread across his face, and his dull eyes were glazed over with madness. His insane laughter became louder and louder, echoing in the room, and everyone was speechless as to what they should do next.

OoOoOoOo

My god this is not accurate at all is it.

Aaaaand this is probably the longest chapter yet. One more chapter after this and this two shot will be done hhhng

R&R! And maybe if I wrote anything incorrectly, perhaps you guys could point out anything?
