Chapter 8: 3 words and 8 letters: What did the Scythe say to the Reaper?
Kid's POV
I stayed silent as I hoped the pain in my chest would finally stop. Hiro was reloading his gun with a sadistic smile on his face. It sickened me. Hiro looked up at me, still wearing the sickening smile like some kind of trophy he should be showing off.
"You know… It's a good thing that you are about to die. Now Lord Death can keep the family line going." he said I looked up at him blankly.
"W-what?" I asked weakly.
Hiro chuckled
"A shinigami has to run the school. That's why Lord Death made you but… you won't be able to do that because you're a fag. So it's a good thing you won't be around because now he will make a straight son." he said. I stayed silent, knowing he was right.
He pulled out a rag and started to polish his gun. "Oh how it will be great. You gone and then a perfect Shinigami will replace you. Not even your friends will miss you. Tsubaki and Patty probably hate you cause it's your fault their partner and sister are dead. And Maka can be with who she loves." Hiro said with a huge smile. Maka stared at the ground; I couldn't feel any more betrayed then I did right now.
None of my friends spoke up or anything, like they agreed with the worthless scum who called himself a human standing in front of me.
"How could all this shit be his fault!? You pulled the trigger dumbass!"
I looked up when I heard Soul stand up for me. Hiro stood up and pressed the gun to Soul's left shoulder to the point it probably hurt.
"Whenever you insult me I will hurt you then do the same exact thing to your precious fag." Hiro threatened. Soul wasn't going to stand for that if he could do anything to fix it.
"I will murder you if you lay one more hand on him." Soul threatened back.
Hiro pulled the trigger, sending a bullet through Soul's shoulder. Soul bit his lip to keep from screaming. It broke my heart to see it, and it probably showed on my face.
"And now it's your turn." Hiro said as he walked up and pressed the gun to my shoulder. I braced myself, when I heard another voice speak up. "
NO! DON'T SHOOT HIM! HE WILL DIE!" Patty begged.
"Ok! I'll shoot you." Hiro said then pointing the gun towards Patty's head then pulling the trigger.
Blood splattered behind her as her body went limp.
"PATTY! NO!" I cried. I had lost both my weapons and it was my fault. My whole body was aching from the loss of my weapons, my friends who treated me like their brother. I felt tears flow down my face again "YOU COULDN'T EVEN LET ME SAY GOODBYE!?" I snapped at Hiro, he just laughed.
"Why should I let you when they are dead because of you?" he smirked.
I wanted to open my mouth to say something but I felt like I had no energy left. My body was getting weaker and weaker as the blood was running down it. Maka looked at me, the look of panic on her face so obvious I could see it in my weakened state. She probably saw my soul giving up and slowly fading.
"Kid don't you give up! I can see your soul! Don't give up! If you give up now Liz, Patty and Black*Star died for nothing!" Maka yelled at me.
"Aww, how cute. The little slut cares for the fag too?" Hiro laughed sadistically. Maka ignored him.
Hiro pointed the gun at my head. "How about I end this for you." he said happily. I braced myself for the feeling of a bullet passing through my head and waited for it to actually happen. He was about to pull the trigger when the door busted open.
"Step away from him Hiro." an angry voice threatened. I looked up and saw Sid and Stein standing in the doorway, both had their weapons.
Hiro turned around and dropped the gun then held up his hands, Stein let go of the black scythe so he could turn back into his human form. Spirit straightened his clothes as he did so. "You're gonna regret this all when Lord Death gets ahold of you." The Death Scythe smirked. "What were you thinking when you did this? Knowing their teacher can see souls." Stein said as he folded his arms.
Hiro was shaking in fear as Sid started to walk to him but stopped when he noticed Black Star's body on the floor
"He killed some of them, Stein…" Sid said, in almost a sad tone. Stein walked forward to his colleague's position and frowned when he saw the bodies as Sid walked up to Hiro and grabbed him, hen slamming him against the wall. "You're gonna pay for this! I would kill you now but that's not the kind of man I was." Sid snapped.
He turned Hiro around and moved his hands behind his back, handcuffing him. Spirit freed Tsubaki, keeping his eyes from Patty's dead body as he freed Maka, who hugged him.
"For once I am so happy to see you." Maka said through the tears. "I'm so happy your safe, Maka." Spirit replied as a couple of tears escaped his own eyes.
Soul's POV
Stein cut Kid free. His limp body fell forward, but Stein caught him. He picked Kid up bridal-style and I couldn't tell if Kid was moving or not. Stein then looked at Spirit.
"Spirit, cut Soul loose so we can have Nygus stitch him up. I need to hurry up and get Kid back to the school before he dies." he said calmly. I felt panic rush over me.
I didn't even notice Spirit cut me free till the ropes fell. Ignoring my injuries, I jumped up and ran to Stein's side.
"Please let me go with you." I begged.
"Soul, you need stitches or you won't make it either." Stein replied back. Was this man not understanding the situation or something?!
"But I don't care. I need to know if he's safe." I said as I grabbed Kid's hand.
I wish he would grab my hand back but his hand stayed limp and motionless "If he doesn't make it should… I say goodbye now?" I asked Stein. He nodded and looked away like he was giving us time alone. I looked at Kid's face, it was even paler than normal "Kid… I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. But just come back okay? It isn't cool to die…" I said, then leaned in and kissed his cold cheek "I l-love you… be safe." I whispered in his ear then took a step back from him.
I looked at Stein "You better save him." I said. Stein nodded and hurried off with my Kid in his arms. Sid was walking with Hiro in front of him. I stood in front of Hiro and punched him as hard as I could, I felt his nose break under my fist, and I liked it. "First you kill his weapons and then you fucking kill my best friend! I swear to god if he dies I will come and kill you in your sleep you fucking cunt face!" I threatened. I had never been so serious in my life. It almost scared me.
I felt a small hand on my good shoulder. I looked back and saw my meister with a very depressed Tsubaki behind her.
"Come on Soul, Nygus needs to see you. He isn't worth your time anyway." Maka said "She's right kid. Lord Death will handle this sorry-assed kid anyway." Sid said, I sighed and started to walk out of the building.
1 hour later
Nygus was finishing my stitches. She had already fixed my gunshot wound. Stein walked in from the other room in the infirmary, Nygus looked up at him "All stitched up, but lost a lot of blood so there is still a slight chance he might not make it. It depends if he will wake up or not…" Stein informed her, his words panicked me again.
I stood up quickly.
"Can I see him? Please Stein." I asked, Stein sighed then gave me one small nod. He opened the door for me and I walked into the room. There were tools in the sink and towels that were covered in blood in the wash bin. Everything in the room was white but the hair of my Kid, the Kid that had a chance of dying at any moment.
I slowly walked to the bed he was laying in; I sat in the chair that was next to the bed then grabbed his hand and held it in mine. I looked at his face, it was so still and peaceful "God Kid… please wake up soon… you can't die…" I whispered and gripped his hand tighter. My eyes started to water. "I wish it was me… I'd rather be the one dying in that bed." I said to myself as a tear ran down my face. I rested my head against the bed and let myself cry silently.
I felt his hand tighten around mine; I looked up and saw the gorgeous pair of half lidded honey golden eyes staring back at me with a sweet small smile on his face.
"I'm not going anywhere." Kid said weakly. My heart stopped when I heard his voice "Oh, thank God you're okay!" I said, then brought the hand I was holding up to my face and kissed it.
The tears ran faster down my face, and Kid pulled his hand gently away from my grasp then wiped away my tears.
"Why are you crying?" he asked.
"Because you're okay! I thought I was gonna lose you…" I said quietly. Kid pulled on my arm gently, telling me to move closer.
I stood up and moved closer to him, Kid put his arms around my neck and pulled me closer to his face. My lips were just an inch away from his.
"Soul, I heard what you said before Stein carried me off." Kid whispered, my eyes widened and my heart stopped again.
I looked away, knowing I was gonna get rejected. "Did you really mean it? This soon?" he asked. I nodded.
"Yeah… just that whole thing sort of made me realize." I admitted. Kid smiled.
"Soul… I love you too." he whispered. I looked up at him happily and in shock.
"You do?" I asked. Kid nodded and gently pulled me a little forward, causing our lips to touch. I smiled into the kiss and kissed him back. Feeling like I was the happiest and coolest guy in the world for being able to call this amazing person mine.
