Meanwhile...
Sip sip sip.
Quiet.
Sip sip sip.
Quiet.

"So Lord Death, are you not curious why one of us is visiting your world again?"
Sip sip sip.
"Not really, even if I'm stuck in the city, I can generally keep up with the world via my mirror. So, I was aware than you'd entered my world."
Sip sip sip.
"So, my question to you now is, what is your interest in my students, Maka and Soul?"
Quiet.
Silk watched the masked face but its bone-like visage gave nothing away, nor did the jolly squeeky-happy voice, but with all her senses she could detect no hostility from the being before her and she'd been warned to be careful of him.
"Sir, my job is to ensure that they fall in love together." She said clearly and calmly, dark eyes watching his face before she smirked faintly and lifted her cup to her lips once again, drinking deeply of the delicious brew within.
"Hmm," nodded the black clad figure before her, seeming to give nothing away as he looked into the hot liquid in his own cup. But eventually he nodded again and she felt like he was smiling at her, "I must congratulate you then and wish you luck in your mission. Those two are a stubborn pair that do their best work when pitted against incredible odds."
"You seem to know them well considering how many student's attend your school." Commented Silk, trying to be diplomatic in her curiosity.
"It may seem like a strange thing to do, but considering the success rates and mortality rates of those who do attend and have attended my school it is no effort on my part to learn and remember they're names." Replied Death solemnly, sipping his tea again. Silk sensed the mood had taken a downward turn and hurried to try and raise the Reapers spirits, so to speak.
"I mean no offence Lord Death," replied Silk with a bow of her head, "the world I was birthed and raised on, was far different to this one. I grew up in a sheltered life and never knew the touch of death until it was my time to join my True Family." Silk managed to hold down the grimace that always came with that statement, too many scars and pain's were associated with the time of her 'Joining her True Family' for her to bare it well yet. She had loved her old life and had never really wanted to be parted from it, but that was a story for another time and she pushed it far from her mind as she fiddled with her tea cup.
Shinigami just laughed light heartedly, dismissing her apology with a way of his giant hands. "Do not worry young one, you are still new to your life and I can see that. You have not made any mistakes but, like my son, you have a habit of jumping to conclusions and pre-empting your mistakes, wither you really made a mistake or not."
Silk just nodded and wondered idly how the Grim Reaper, the Lord Death himself could have a son but then she just supposed that this world was different enough to allow it. Lord Death had to come into being some how, why could he not produce sons able to take his place after he was done?
Finishing her tea, Silk nodded to her host, "I have paid my respects Sir, and I honestly had a pleasant time here, I may return when I need peace and a place to be," she bowed and stood up from her cushion. "But I must return to my work, I'm sorry I could not stay longer."
"Its alright," said Shinigami joyfully, "please pass on my respects to Madam and your two Masters, the Lord and Lady. I owe them so much. Goodbye and good luck, Child of Fate." Silk silently bowed once again and turned smoothly on her heel, walking out of the room and down the long corridor of guillotines.
Silk made it back to the apartment in time of grab and gag a small purple cat that was wearing a witches hat and walking up the corridor meowing happily to itself about something. She knew who and what it was from the files and from her observations of the couple, it was Blair. While mostly harmless, she couldn't have her interrupting the valuable and important bonding time going on inside the apartment.
"Your coming with me, Miss Kitty," hissed Silk in the small cats ear as she silently flew out the building and on to the roof.

^_^ I know it seems silly, but I've not had time to really dip into the manga yet (and I normally do before I start writing a story, I like to know everything and all the facts before I start a story so that nothing can jump out at me. I don't like irritated flames that can't accept two versions of the same tale.) But could someone tell me if they know ANYTHING about Kidd? Does he have a mom? How the hell did the Grim Reaper produce a son? Is he normal like everyone else underneath that weird-ass black cloak?
Okie, ^_^ sorry to go on, but my usually sources of Wickipedia and other useful websites have turned up nothing for once. O_o? Anyway thanks all for any feed back. I'm off to take my little boy swimming! XD XD
