We're very sorry that this chapter took so long! There are 2 reasons for this. The first is that we have school and we're seniors and it's annoying to be seniors prepping for college. And second, I just avoided writing this. I want to read it and all, but writing it… was a challenge. But it will get done!

God Damn It Stop Biting Your Nails! 10
It was a complete and utter understatement to say Kid was peeved. In fact, the level of his rage and frustration was so high, both Kisasohmacookie and lil1diva were afraid to put it in words. Let's just say, even Patty gave Kid a wide berth as he spent days in his room, pacing with random wild cries of revenge and cackles when he came up with a particularly devious plan, but then would groan when he realized that plan would violate Laura's rules.
Yes, as angry as Kid was, he was not about to break these sacred Laura rules, in favor of keeping his life.
But Kid's patience was running thin for the moment. After the water gun incident, Kid had tried to keep his plans somewhat harmless and innocent, hardly as exaggerated as his first plans were. Meghan was proving to be quite the adversary in her stubbornness, even if she didn't mean to. Well this was it, Kid was breaking out the big guns, and no, they weren't Liz and Patty.
Kid chuckled darkly to himself, finally coming down the stairs the next morning, swinging something silver and shiny around as he did. Liz and Patty cautiously emerged from their hiding place behind the couch to see what it was.
"Kid? ... You uh, feeling better?"
Kid was the picture of calm and confidence, but both demon pistols knew that could change within a second.
"I will never feel better until Meghan stops her nail biting." Kid answered simply, but his smirk told them he clearly had a new plan
He brought the item he was twirling to a halt and pulled it in front of them. Liz's eyes widened to an impossible size and Patty's face broke into a devilish grin.
"K-Kid!" Liz spluttered, trying to find words but coming up with almost nothing, "That's-she'll-Laura will-you CAN'T!"
Kid pocketed the item with a haughty snort, "I endured heatstroke for a bet Laura KNEW I'd lose," He glared towards the door and started walking again, "I believe I'm entitled to do something a little more drastic now."
As Kid predicted she would, Liz could only stand there shocked, before she whipped out her cell phone.
"I gotta tell Laura!" and her thumbs texted as fast as they possibly could.
Laura got the text and stared at the words written on the screen, "Be afraid, be very afraid. Kid has handcuffs for Meghan."
"HANDCUFFS!" Laura screamed aloud, shocked by the drastic measures Kid was taking. Luckily, Meghan was in the shower and did not hear her. That was a plus. The negative was still that Kid planned to handcuff Meghan. To what extent? For how long? An hour, a day, for weeks, when? Meghan would not be able to handle this kind of pressure. The only thing is, he was perfectly allowed to do it.
"I heard you scream something, what happened?" Meghan asked walking down the stairs. She was air drying her hair with a towel. Laura thought fast.
"Liz just texted me saying how she, found an old nail polish color that I've been looking for."
"And you screamed?"
"I had sugar last night, remember?"
"Ah."
Meghan proceeded to dry her hair and straighten it. Laura barely dodged a bullet on that one. Well, Meghan would figure out what Kid had planned for her sooner or later. Laura would just have to figure out a way to get him to stop, but that could wait for a little bit.
"Ready to go, Meggie?" Laura called down the hall. Meghan came out ready and they walked to the school together, Meghan completely unaware of what was to befall her.
"BLACK STAR!" Laura yelled seeing her sparring partner.
"LAURA!" Black Star replied. Laura quickly left Meghan and pulled Black Star aside. Tsubaki and Meghan struck up a conversation about the weather or something equally boring.
"Black Star, I have a job for you."
"What can the great Black Star do for you?"
"I need you to create a big scene somewhere away from here when Kid shows up."
"Why? Is something happening here?"
"Kid's latest scheme. I'm unable to stop him at the moment, but I think that Meghan would like it if people weren't around to see what happens."
"You can count on me! I just need a few things, like a flamethrower, and a plunger."
Laura did not question the items he mentioned, but waved him off cheerfully before going to see her friends. Maka and Soul already joined the group and were in deep conversation.
"Why can't we go on a mission tomorrow?" Soul asked Maka.
"We have a test tomorrow, you just want to skip it!"
"I do not."
"We have a test tomorrow?" Meghan asked absently.
"Yeah, for Stein."
"You could borrow my notes, Meghan," Tsubaki offered.
"Yeah, okay."
"Can't we just make up the test?"
"NO! We can't. It'd just be too…what is Kid carrying?" Maka broke off mid-sentence to see Kid and company walking up the steps to Shibusen. Laura's plan worked and no other students seemed to be present, probably watching whatever the heck Black Star was doing with a flamethrower and a plunger.
By now, their entire group had turned to see Kid swinging the metal around his ring finger. He was smiling in a sadistic way and Liz looked like she wanted to disappear. Patty gave off an air of "I don't care" or "this could be fun." Neither was good.
"Plan on taking someone hostage, Kid?" Soul called out jokingly. Maka and Tsubaki tried to laugh, but neither could find the strength. Meghan just seemed petrified. She could tell without any words that those handcuffs were meant for her. She should try to run.
Not a second after Meghan had thought that did Kid appear at her side and cuffed her right wrist. He then put the other one on his left. The middle chain was a yard or so long, but was effective in keeping her close to him. This was not going to be a fun day.
"Yes, I do, actually," Kid replied to Soul's question. No one moved. Meghan began stressing out and brought her free left hand to her mouth to bite her nails, but Kid yanked her arm away and stared her down.
"L-Laura, help me!" Meghan cried, turning to her friend for help. Meghan saw her friend glare at Kid, but she made no move to do anything. What on earth was she thinking? Why wasn't she going to help?
Meghan was not aware of the deal that Laura and Kid had made concerning Meghan not biting her nails. Kid was allowed to do anything that didn't hurt Meghan as long as he told Laura what he was going to do. Liz acted as the mediator, so he technically told her. Then there was the fact that she said she would not physically hurt him. What was the other part? She was supposed to have blackmail. She never got it. And besides, what else could be worse than a bunny suit? How does she get out of this? Kid's smile disappeared as he waited for her to respond. Everyone else was just trying to survive the tension.
"If you so much as give her a paper cut, so help you because I will hunt you down and make sure that you have millions of paper cuts and drown you in lemon juice as I electrocute you." Kid's smile grew back even bigger than before. Now that Laura wasn't opposing him, no one would.
"Ok then. I will not hurt Meghan. I just want to keep a close eye on her."
"LAURA!" Meghan screamed, not liking the idea of being with Kid 24/7.
"He's not hurting you, is he?" Meghan shook her head no. "You don't particularly hate him, do you?" Another shake. "And this will help you get more comfortable with people being so close to you. Although, you do have a few issues to work out. Like bathrooms for instance."
This brought on a whole new set of issues. Tsubaki opted to leave at this point and go see what Black Star was doing; they heard an explosion and knew it was him. This left Meghan, Kid, Laura, Liz, Maka, Soul and Patty to deal with the predicament. Well, not really Patty.
"You guys look funny chained together!" Patty remarked laughing gaily.
"Kid, is this absolutely necessary?" Liz questioned, trying to remain calm and not kill her meister.
"Yes. Meghan does not seem to be responding to anything else, so I figured drastic measures must be taken."
"No, I would prefer to not have to be chained to you," Meghan voiced, working her voice after a good minute of hyperventilating.
"This is not harmful to you, is it?" Meghan glared at Kid as a response. "No? Then I see no reason why I can't do this."
"Personal space?"
"Look, you have a good yard of personal space, Meghan," Kid said this stretching out the chain as a demonstration.
"I don't like this."
"Well, I thought following you around constantly would be just as annoying, but this way there is an excuse for following you around."
"And that would be…?"
"We accidently got chained together."
"THAT IS THE WORST EXCUSE EVER!" Meghan screamed.
"It's either this or I follow you everywhere." Meghan could not believe this was happening. More importantly, she could not believe that she was accepting this happening. How hard could it be to transform her arm into a hammer and blow the side of his head in? Not very hard. Hey, an idea!
Meghan then tried to transform into a hammer axe and thus slip out of the chain. No matter how she tried though, she could not get herself to transform. Why?
"Ah I see you've found the secrets behind this. Originally, this was used to strengthen the bond between meisters and weapons. Force them to be together so they would learn to get along. Used in extreme cases. I found it in my father's study a while ago and kept it. I never figured it would ever be useful."
Meghan figured that was as much as an explanation as she would get from him. She still couldn't believe that she was in this situation. Chained to a guy, a cute guy, but a maniac at the same time! It could be worse. She could be chained to someone she didn't know. Or Laura or Patty. Those two would drive her up a wall. Meghan would just have to see how long Kid could go before he drove her up a wall. Or…
"Hey, Kid?" Meghan asked turning to face him.
"Hm?" As Kid said this, Meghan had already begun her attack; her poking attack that is. "What are you doing, Meghan?"
"Nothing." Still, she continued to poke him mercilessly. Maka and Soul, seeing as how the fun was over, decided it was time to leave.
"Well, I don't know why you're doing this, Kid, but be gentle," Maka suggested, trying to be kind and helpful.
"Yeah, be gentle with her, Kid," Soul said, trying in no way to hide that he was not trying to be nice and was making fun of Kid.
"Yes, being gentle would be best," Kid replied not really getting that Soul was mocking him, but also understanding what he meant at the same time.
"What do you mean by gentle?" Laura asked Soul with a fake grin plastered.
"N-Nothing." Soul slowly inched away fearing Laura's wrath, knowing all too well how she fought with Kid. Meghan would have laughed or sighed or something, but she was still too busy poking Kid.
"How long do you plan to do this?"
"Until you release me."
"Oh, a while then." Meghan increased the rate of her pokes.
Class didn't go any better. None of the teachers wanted to question why Kid and Meghan were chained or why Meghan was constantly poking him. So they left the two alone.
Stein prepared an extra large "Fail" stamp because he placed his bet that Meghan would win out. Others began to place bets, too. Which of the two would give in first, Meghan or Kid. Most people thought that Meghan would give in first. She seemed meek and shy to most people without too much of a will, but Laura knew different.
"I'll bet just about anything that Kid gives in first," Laura said during their lunch break. Kid and Meghan were with Liz and Patty at Kid's house since Kid refused to eat at the school. Something about the cafeteria not being symmetrical.
"Really? Meghan just seems like she'd be kind and give in," Maka pointed out taking a bite of a sausage.
"She doesn't seem to have much courage," Soul said, stealing one of Maka's sausages.
"That's right, you haven't known us that long, have you?" Laura said eating chicken and fries.
"Meghan could learn to take after me a bit, more if she's that shy!" Black Star pronounced using his lunch break to do a few hundred push-ups.
"No, we haven't known you that long, why? Is Meghan really that different?" Tsubaki said, actually answering Laura's question.
"Very different. She's only shy in front of large groups of people. With her friends, she's like a scary mom or something. She knows how to take care of people, but when she has something to do, she does it and does not give up."
"So what do you have bet on Meghan holding out longer, then?" Soul asked, interested in the betting. He actually put a few dollars down on Kid, but he might have to change it now.
"Hm? I bet my entire manga collection, worth about $1,000. Or more. I haven't counted recently. I think it's more"
"You're that confident? Nice!" Black Star interjected, pausing in his push-ups for a moment.
"So, I'm guessing that you have a lot of faith in Meghan?" Maka asked, finishing up her lunch.
"Yep. If I can't have faith in my partner, who else would I have faith in?"
Laura may have said that, but things weren't looking good for Meghan. Her persistent poking was hard to keep up while eating. That and Kid insisted that they sit on opposite sides of the table so she had to reach across the table and eat at the same time. Liz was next to Kid and Patty was next to Meghan, to keep the balance.
"Meghan, are you sure that you don't want to stop poking him?" Liz asked, concerned for Meghan's safety and Kid's sanity.
"…no," Meghan said and continued on poking him. At first, Meghan thought that being chained together would be a lot harder than this, but it wasn't turning out so bad. She got to eat good food in a beautiful dining room, learn more about Liz, Patty and Kid, and annoy Kid as much as she wanted. Truthfully, she always wanted to get payback for all the times that he had annoyed her. This was a good a chance as any.
"Hehe, I should help," Patty said and sat next to Kid and began to poke him as well. Now he had two people poking him.
"If you're going to poke me, at least do it symmetrically! Liz!" Kid demanded throwing down his fork. Liz gave him an odd look.
"You want me to poke you?" Kid nodded, and so Liz lazily began to poke him. Only, they were all poking at different rates. Patty was also poking different spots on his arm whereas Meghan was poking his forehead. Liz was just tapping his shoulder. The inconsistency drove Kid near insane.
There was only so much one OCD kid could take.
"Stop poking me!" he shouted. Liz gave up, but Patty just laughed and continued. Meghan realized that her plan was working. He was getting fed up with her. Surely he would take off the chains soon.
"What? Am I annoying you Kid?" Meghan taunted, tapping into her evil side, "can't stand being annoyed for once?" Meghan completely forgot about her meal and was now using both hands to poke him in the shoulder, face, head, and arm. Patty took note and copied her, laughing and smiling at the fun of the game.
"Let's poke the bunny!" Patty squealed. Bunny. Bunny suit. Kid's brain flashed to all of the humiliation he had suffered and the reason why he initially put Meghan into this situation. He snapped.
"Enough!" Kid slapped Patty's hands away and grabbed Meghan's in his. There was no laughter in his eyes, just cold seriousness. The advantage Meghan just had was gone. The revenge, if it can be called that, was gone. Now was fear. Meghan had truly forgotten what the situation was. This was an abrupt wake-up call.
"L-let go of me!" Meghan stammered squeezing her eyes shut. Her wrists hurt. His grip was tight.
"No! I will not. This is nothing to what I went through a few days ago. I haven't gotten over it." She hadn't realized how much pain he had from the bunny suit thing. How far it pushed him. She knew it now. She wished she had known it earlier. Maybe she could have done something. She could only endure it right now.
"Kid, you're hurting her!" Liz cried, and Kid snapped out of his stupor. His grip lessened and he looked up at Meghan, scared and shaking. Her first instinct was to bite her nails, but she fought it. It would only cause more trouble right now. Guess his idea was working; fear that is.
"Meghan, I'm-"
"We should go back to class," Meghan said avoiding his eyes. Kid silently agreed and the group trudged their way to their next class. Patty was sullen, but after seeing a kid slip on a bucket of water running down the hallway, she cheered right up. Liz was shaken, but she understood how people can be overcome with emotions. Kid and Meghan just needed some time to cool down and recover.
"Hey, Meghan, are you still…Meghan?" Laura greeted her friend as she entered the class, only to stop midsentence. Laura had been around Meghan long enough to know when she was sad or just spacing out or troubled. She was troubled right now.
"Huh?" Meghan replied, finally realizing that Laura was talking to her and looked up to see her glaring at Kid.
"What did you do? I swear, if you hurt her at all…" Laura grabbed him by the shirt and stared him down. The thing is, Kid couldn't honestly say he hadn't done anything. He did hurt Meghan. It happened too fast for him to stop himself. So now he would have to accept the consequences.
"No, he didn't do anything!" Meghan protested and pulled Laura off.
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Yeah, he just, uh, well, we, uh…" Meghan couldn't seem to find the words to describe what happened without it making Kid out to be an enemy. There was no real reason to defend him. Well, it was Laura's fault that he had to dress up in a bunny suit. He shouldn't be punished for being angry about it. It was natural. This is what Meghan convinced herself of anyway.
"Well, if you say so, Meggie! Alright Black Star, you wanted an arm wrestling contest right? I'm taking you down!"
"You? Take down the Great Black Star? Hasn't been done in a thousand years!"
"Welcome to the new millennia, then!"
Meghan sighed, she was glad that Laura gave up on questioning her. Maybe later she would explain what happened, but not right now. Right now, she had more important things to worry about. Like a pair of eyes staring at her.
"Something wrong, Kid?"
"Nothing. We should sit down for class."
The rest of the day went by without any problems. Black Star beat Laura in the arm wrestling contest, but she swore that she'd win some day. More bets were made on who would cave in first, Meghan or Kid. Soul switched his bet to Meghan, so only he, Laura and Black Star bet on Meghan. Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, and Maka didn't bet at all.
When it came time to leave for home, Laura said that Meghan should go with Kid to his house because she might kill Kid if he stayed at her house. Kid agreed and they congregated at his house.
"Uh, Kid. I have a question," Meghan asked as she was finishing up her homework at a desk in Kid's room. Liz and Patty were in their own room down the hall a bit. Liz checked up on Meghan every hour to make sure neither of them were dead. Patty just barged in sometimes to annoy Kid a little and then leave when she got bored. After a few hours, it was getting late and there was still an issue unresolved.
"What is it?" Kid asked. He was refolding all his clothes because he thought that a few of them were uneven by 2 mm. They weren't.
"I'm not sleeping here, am I?"
"Of course you are."
"WHAT?" Meghan screamed throwing her pencil into the ceiling and it stuck there. She didn't even notice it was up there because she was too busy having a panic attack.
"I need to be with you at all times to make sure you don't bite your nails." Even as Kid said this, Meghan brought her hand to her mouth and began chewing on a nail. Kid yanked the arm away. So she brought the unchained one up and he got up and grabbed her hand so she'd stop.
"Look, you're already biting your nails," Kid pointed this out as if he were saying that the sky was blue. Well, it was black right now since it was nighttime, but that's not the point.
"That's because I'm stressed," Meghan said struggling against his grip, Kid having grabbed her other wrist as well, so she can calm herself.
"Why are you so stressed?"
"Bah munah euh arghhh." If it was not obvious from that sentence, Meghan was unable to form cohesive words. Did Kid really not understand her stress?
"What?"
"You see no issues with this?"
"None so far."
"Nothing about a girl and a boy sleeping together?"
"What are you…oh." It seemed like Kid finally realized what Meghan was getting at. It seemed as if he just hadn't thought that far. Maybe now he would realize why she was so stressed and would let her go. If only.
"Well, that's just unavoidable." NO WAY! Meghan let her mouth drop in open shock. Did he really feel nothing? This can't be happening!
"I refuse! I can't sleep in the same bed as a guy! Unless it's like, my boyfriend or something. But even then, it'd have to be after we completely trust each other and stuff," Meghan trailed off in her monologue, her anxiety dissipating slightly. It was enough for Kid to let her wrists go.
"I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, you know." At this, Meghan blushed deeply. She had avoided eye contact for a while now unconsciously, but looking up she saw that his face was blushing, too. He was embarrassed. Why would he continue with this even if he was embarrassed? Did stopping her biting really mean that much to him?
"Yeah, I know you wouldn't. If you did Laura would kill you." Meghan said this with all the grace of a duck with a broken leg. Kid smiled a little, his blush disappearing.
"That and I don't want to hurt you. Why would I?" He seemed like he wanted to say more, but he ended his sentence right there. Meghan smiled, her blush gone, too. He didn't really need to say anymore.
"Yeah, I know. But do we really have to be chained together? Wouldn't that be really uncomfortable to sleep with?" Meghan protested holding up her chained hand.
"I guess not. But I still want to keep an eye on you so you don't ruin those nails." Meghan smiled. She could deal with this. Sleeping in the same room as a guy wasn't nearly as bad as sleeping in the same bed as him. Compromising was a good thing.
Together, the two of them retrieved a futon and laid it out on the floor. Kid decided that he should sleep on the floor, being the gentleman that he is and then he removed the chain from his wrist and Meghan's.
"Good night, Meghan," Kid said as he turned off the lights and crawled into bed.
"G-Good night, Kid," Meghan said, feeling kind of awkward about the situation but not really seeing anything she could do. She could sneak out right now, but that could create more problems later on. And she wanted to avoid more problems. It was enough to deal with the current ones, never mind unforeseen ones.
As the night dragged on, Meghan realized that she wasn't able to sleep easy. She could hear every rustle Kid made when he moved, hear his breathing, and was overly aware of how awkward this truly was. It wasn't like with her friends at a sleepover, it was fundamentally different. She had to do something to break this chain of silence or she would go insane.
"Kid, are you awake?" Meghan whispered, not wanting to wake him up lest he be sleeping.
"Yes, what is it? Something wrong?" Kid asked and she could hear him move, probably turning to face her.
"Not really, I just have a question."
"What?"
"Do you remember all of that day when you were in the bunny suit?"
Kid was silent for a moment and Meghan didn't know if he was going to lash out again. She prepared herself for the worst, but thankfully, it never came.
"I'm sorry about earlier today, but no I don't remember everything. There was a time when I was feverish and I can't really remember what happened. Why?"
"N-nothing." Meghan was kind of glad he had forgotten about that. It was embarrassing to remember. As long as he had forgotten, she could forget about it, too and pretend it never happened. That would be best.
"Did I hurt you?"
"No! Nothing like that," Meghan sat up and waved her arms dismissively, only to realize that he couldn't see her.
"So there was something."
"I said there wasn't!"
"No you didn't. What happened? What don't I remember?"
"Nothing!"
"Please, I need to know these things. It's like I'm unbalanced if I don't know. I knew it! I am worthless, trash. I can't remember what I did! I shouldn't even be here…"
"Alright! I'll tell you, just stop the rant!" Meghan sat up and sighed, "You were hugging me tightly and then you were in a trance and I made you upset when I said bunny suit, but then you calmed down after realizing it was me and you complained about me biting my nails sleepily and then…" Meghan trailed off. This was the part when he said that maybe they could be something without ever finishing his thought. Meghan never did know what he wanted to say.
"Then what? Why won't you tell me?"
There were plenty reasons not to tell him. First was that it was embarrassing like heck. Second, he wasn't even coherent at the time so he could just deny it and then that would be even more embarrassing. But then again, Meghan really wanted to know what he was going to say. It might make things better. Or worse. Well, she would just have to try. Take a leaf from Laura's book and have courage.
"You said, 'Then maybe we could…' but you never finished the thought."
Even in the dark, Meghan could tell that Kid was thinking hard about this. What was on his mind?
"I know what I wanted to say there."
"You do?"
"'Be friends.' I remember thinking that last part only. 'Be friends.' I was wondering why I had that line in my head. Thanks."
Meghan felt sheepish and sank into the covers of the blanket. She whispered, "You're welcome," and then began to drift off to sleep. So, this wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. She didn't want to repeat this anytime soon, but if she had to sleep here next to him, she could deal with it without too much trouble.
Meghan woke up to the sound of Kid screaming.
"Where are they?" Kid screeched going through his room in a hurried but strangely neat way. It was odd to watch.
"What?" Meghan asked rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"The handcuffs! They're gone!"
Meghan tried to hide her excitement. It wasn't easy.
"Really? Oh darn. Oh, well."
"I was so sure I had put them right here…" Just then, there was a whoosh sound and the window sprang open to reveal Laura sitting on the windowsill, twirling something in her hands.
"Looking for these?" Laura asked Kid who looked up and saw her smirking.
"How did you get the handcuffs?"
"Well, first I had to get you away from me so you wouldn't be guarded. Then I asked Patty to let me in last night. And thirdly I became a ninja and snuck in here and stole them. Pretty cool, huh?"
"Give them back," Kid demanded. Laura smiled even wider.
"Ok. Here ya go!"
"Laura!" Meghan protested at Laura giving up her advantage so easily. How little Meghan knew.
"Don't worry, Kid won't use them anymore. See ya at school!" And with that, Laura fell back from the window and landed gracefully on her feet and walked out.
"Why wouldn't I, ARGH! What did you do to them!"
"What?" Meghan looked over at them.
Along the entirety of the chain were small scratches. There was no order to them, none were the same length, and they even ran in different depths. The chaos of the chain threw Kid into a small rage.
"NOO! Why couldn't I prevent this from happening? If only I had worn them, she wouldn't be able to do this! I'm so useless, I'm nothing, trash, scum. I should just die."
Meghan sympathetically patted Kid on the back, but silently thanked Laura. Now she wouldn't have to spend another day chained to him. Then again, she wouldn't be able to spend another night like that either. No! This was a good thing. She should enjoy it, right? Meghan didn't know anymore. All she knew was that she had to get kid to stop crying and feeling sorry for himself.
"Kid, what would it take for you to feel better? Besides not biting my nails."
Kid at this point had reverted back to his sniveling five year old state as he cried over his failed plan, he had seen the stamp Stein was preparing. That was not going to wash off easily.
He looked at her with big wobbly eyes and Meghan delved into her knowledge of young children to find something that might make him feel better in this state.
"You want a hug, Kid?" she asked, holding her arms out and smiling a bit. He looked sort of cute like this when he wasn't on a psychopathic rampage.
Kid sniffled, "Yes, please." And Meghan felt the wind knocked out of her as the Shinigami latched himself onto her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and noted briefly that he was about two inches taller than she was, and she would have to stand on her tiptoes to see him eye to eye.
She ruffled his hair when she decided that they had been hugging for too long and needed to go to school. She assumed that Kid had gone into one of his strange episodes, because he started nuzzling his cheek and she vaguely suspected that he started purring like a cat. She blushed and detached him from her.
"Come on, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry." Meghan scrambled out the door and Kid snapped out of his latest funk, realizing what he just did.
"Get yourself together kid, you're a Shinigami."He muttered to himself, and followed her out.
When Laura beat both of them to school, she was surprised to see Black Star still running around the school with a flamethrower like a lunatic, setting fire to a plunger and parading it like a torch. He heard from Laura that Kid had given in first and he won the bet so he was celebrating. Poor Sid and Nygus were still trying to catch him.
That was so looooooooong. Ack I didn't realize how long this would be. Well, it was a fun one to write. Even if my head wants to esplode. Which it does. So bad. Kisa, help!
Kisa: (dumps ice on Lil1diva's head) better?
Lil1diva: sort of…
And that's where we'll end it. Wheeeeew. Hope you enjoyed that chapter!
C ya l8r!
