Kid woke up the next morning feeling slightly refreshed. He had for once slept the whole night without having a nightmare. He gently sat up careful not to wake the girls up. Liz mumbled something and Wrapped her arms around his waist. Kid lightly kissed her on the forehead and laid back down cuddling up closer to Liz. I guess i can sleep a little longer. He thought smugly.
...
Soul and Maka sat on the couch downstairs looking over profiles of possible suspects. "Stine?" Soul asked sceptically.
"Well..He has always joked about wanting to dissecting him." Maka pointed out.
'stine isn't cool enough to kidnap Kid.. Kid would drive him further into insanity before the first hour was over." Soul pointed out.
"We can't exclude anyone at the school. Kid's life is at stake Soul." maka pointed out.
Than why didn't you include your creepy dad and the school nurse?" Soul asked pointedly.
"First of all..my dad maybe alot of things but he would never do something as horrable and disloyal as kidnapping his own mister Lord Death's son. Second...the sweet lovable school nurse..are you for real? that woman couldn't hurt a fly!"
"WHo couldn't hurt a fly?" A cool voice asked behind them. Maka neatly folded up the profiles as Soul scratched his head nervously.
"We were commenting on who was scarier My dad or your next door neighbor old Mrs. Jerkins." Maka replied making a face.
"Oh well thats easy it's my Mrs. Jenkins. Unlike your dad Maka, Jerkins has no standards ..or symmetry..besides She talks to herself all the time and keeps a imaginary pet cat named Jimmy." Kid replied off handedly. "Not that I judge." He said the longest sentence in a while with a slightly hoarse voice due to it's still not really being used. Soul and Maka smiled warmly and were inwirdly cheering that Kid was even talking this much.
"Yea thats kinda creepy." Soul commented on Mrs. Jenkins.
"Eh not as weird as when my dad is watching soap operas. He spends hours watching them and jotting down names to see who needs to be kicked off first. he treats t like survivor." Kid saID WITh A shrug.

Kid walked quietly in between Liz and Patty as they looked around the shelves of the school library. "so what book are we looking for exactly? Is it for a mission or something?" Patty asked hopefully.
"Patty you know that Kid doesn't do missions anymore. This is all purely for leisure." Liz reminded a disappointed Patty. "We only go help if we are absolutely needed. " Liz added with a roll of her eyes. Kid ignored them as he disappeared behind another bookcase and reached for a couple books. He struggled however to get one of the books and mentally cursed as he tried once more. Another hand however beat him to it. "a book of poetry how sweet." A voice remarked softly. Kid looked up to see the nice school nurse smiling kindly down at him.
Thanks." He muttered.
"So young man are you rerurning to our school than?" The nurse asked.
"No I have kinda deided not to return.. I just come here now to visit and check out books." Kid said with a shrug as he staked more books.
"Well if u need to talk about anything you know where to find me." The nurse replied as she ruffled his hair. "Well I better get going. I shoulda been off my break 10 minutes ago." She laughed as she waved goodbye. Kid half heartedly waved before returning back to his books.
He walked over to where Liz was reading patty a children's book. "I found what I need." He said smoothly as he added the children's book Liz was reading to the pile. LIz and patty nodded as they followed him out. None of them noticing a pair gleaming gold eyes starring greedily after them. "Soon Kid soon you will be mine." The voice said as it licked its lips.
