Thank you all for reviewing! XD

Anyway...


Dokuro stared at the big window in her and Kid's bedroom, that was leading out to a balcony. The sky was grey, and it seemed as if it were going to rain. The perfect weather for a funeral. It was all her fault. If she would have suggested that they run away, instead of fight, then Roxanne would still be alive. A tear came to her right eye as she thought about her old partner. Dokuro scrunched the sheets under her hand. She felt another presence in the room, but she decided to ignore it. She closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep. She felt soft tapping on her face. She opened her eyes, knowing who it was. "You should get ready, it's almost time to go," Ashton said giving Dokuro a small smile. Dokuro sighed and turned away from Ashton.

"I'm not going," she said. Ashton looked alarmed.

"Why not!? Roxanne was your partner after all! You do owe it to her to at least go to her funeral," she said. Dokuro groaned and pulled the covers over her head. Ashton frowned and yanked them off. "You've been like this ever since she died! Get up and get dressed! You owe Roxanne a proper good-bye!" Dokuro shook her head.

"No, I'm not going," she said. Ashton frowned down at her, disappointed.

"But-"

"Just let her stay, Ashton. It's time to go anyway," Kid said from the doorway. He, like Ashton, was wearing all black. Dokuro pulled the covers back over her head. Ashton looked at Kid a bit surprised.

"But, you were the one who told me to come get her," she said. Kid nodded.

"I know that, but she obviously doesn't want to got to her old partner's funeral, who was always there for her, and was like a sister to her," Kid said, "It doesn't seem like she has the decency to tell Roxanne 'bye'. Now, let's go." Kid let the room, and Ashton followed, glancing back at Dokuro before she left. Once they were gone, Dokuro removed the covers from her head.

"Damn, Kid and his reverse psychology," she muttered.


The funeral was over and everyone had left. Dokuro took a deep breath then let it out. She got out of her car, then walked to Roxanne's grave. She sadly stared at it, wishing that things would have happened differently. She looked at her grave with a sad smile.

"I was right," she said ,"Things aren't as fun without you around." She then fell on her knees and sat down on her legs. "And you know what else?" she continued "you swore that you'd come back. Why did you leave again after just a short visit? Why'd you break your promise?" At that moment Dokuro started silently crying. 'It's all my fault,' she thought. It started to rain, and Dokuro's crying got worse. She left her umbrella in her car, but she really didn't care. Moments later, the rain that had been falling on her stopped, and she knew why. "Go, away Kid," she said. Kid sighed as he stood over her holding a black umbrella.

"No," he said, "You really shouldn't grieve so much, it's bad for you." Dokuro just stared forward, not even bothering to look up.

"I can't help it," she said.

"You know, everyone was wondering where you were," Kid said. Dokuro looked down.

"I couldn't do it," she said "I can't deal with Death." Kid smirked.

"That's too bad," he said "because you married it." Dokuro stopped crying then looked up to Kid's smirking face. She sighed and grabbed his hand, and he helped her up.

"I know," she said "It just doesn't feel that way." Dokuro wrapped her arms around one of Kid's. They started walking back to his car.

"Give your keys to Mary, so she can bring your car back," Kid said. Dokuro nodded, then looked back to Roxanne's grave.

"It was all my fault," she mumbled, "I'm so sorry."

"Please, don't blame yourself," Kid said, having apparently heard her.

"I can't help it," she said. Kid looked at her, then sighed.

"You know, people usually wear black to funerals, not red," he said looking at Dokuro's red outfit. Dokuro gave a small smile.

"Red was Roxanne's favorite color. She really didn't like black that much," she said, "She told me that it reminded her of Death too much."


It was 9:00 A.M. the next day. Dokuro opened her eyes, and was greeted by the harsh sunlight. She tiredly reached over to her nightstand, to get the remote that controlled the curtain over the window-like door. She pressed the button that closed the curtain, put the remote back on her nightstand, then turned around to go back to sleep, until something made her almost jump up, and that was the body of another person. She curiously looked at her husband. Why was he there? It was way past eight, so why was he still sleeping. Dokuro looked at him as if he started hating symmetry, and as if Black Star's worst nightmare was to surpass God. Kid started to wake up, but Dokuro didn't notice. She was still stuck on the fact that he was there. When everything came into focus for Kid, he looked at Dokuro confused.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked. Dokuro didn't want the situation to seem awkward, so she had to think of something, and fast.

"Umm...because you're hot," She said, then she mentally beat herself up. 'Yeah, that was awkward,' she thought, but to her surprise, Kid started laughing.

"Yeah, okay," he sarcastically said "because looking at me as if Soul accepts Maka's small chest, and as if my partners weren't material girls, is so checking me out." Dokuro blushed.

"Sorry, I was just wondering why you were...still here," she said saying the last part lower.

"I'm staying home today. I did hire Sarah for a reason," he said. Dokuro sighed then sunk back down in the bed. Kid looked at her curiously, then wrapped his arms around her and brought her to his chest. "I know, I haven't been there for you lately, but I'm here now, and I'll always be there for you." Dokuro blushed, and she wrapped her arms around Kid.

"Well," she said "I need something from you." Kid looked at her confused.

"And what's that?" he asked. Dokuro nervously smiled.

"I took my pill," she said.


Dokuro happily sat across from Kid at Death Bucks with a blush on her face. It had been the best morning, in a long time. And "long" was right. (;D) She smiled at her husband recalling something. Maybe Ashton was right, she should tell him. Kid smiled back at her confused.

"What are you smiling at?" he asked. Dokuro giggled.

"Your face," she said then looked him up and down "and your body." Kid laughed a little.

"What?" he asked. Dokuro giggled some more.

"Do you remember when we first met?" she asked. Kid nodded.

"Are you talking about when I carried you up the stairs to the academy?" he asked. Dokuro nodded.

"Yep," she said.

"What about it?" Kid asked. Dokuro smiled some more.

"When I had said the word 'hot' I was actually talking about you. I didn't realize that I had said it out loud," she said. Kid smirked.

"I should have known. I did think it was weird that you had said that word out of context for no reason, then said that it was hot outside, when I had asked you if you were okay," he said. Dokuro laughed nervously.

"It was weird, wasn't it?" she asked. Kid was about to say something, but he was interrupted.

"Kid? Death The Kid?" they heard. Dokuro and Kid looked to where the voice had come from.

"Lanai?" Kid said.


It's amazing how things can go from bad, better, perfect, then horrible in their relationship. I love being the writer, I can fuck up their relationship as much as I want. XD

Please review.
