SPOV
It's been a few days after Kid's surgery, and he's so much better. It's hard to believe that a few days ago, he looked like he was dying. He wasn't allowed to get out of bed, but he could have all the ice cream he wanted. Advantage of getting your tonsils out. Stein went back to his house (Malice loves this), but he comes by every day (Malice hates this and is determined to kill him). I talked to him about my zombie idea, and he said he'd look into it. I really hope he could do it, not just because I miss Mai. But I think, no matter how many times I tell Kid she loved him, he won't believe me. He's just convinced that he did something to make her 'leave'. I wanted nothing more than for her to prove him wrong.
"Papa, can I hav mor ice cream? Pwease?" He made his puppy eyes at me.
"Sure, you want anything else?"
"P-Papa? Will you tell me 'bout Mama some more?" I tensed up inside.
"Ahhh…Later, Kid." His face fell slightly, but he didn't say anything. After I gave him his ice cream, I sat in bed next to him.
"Why?" He mumbled without looking at me.
"Hmmm?"
"Why won't you tell me about Mama?" would you please drop it!
"I…It just, hurts to talk about her sometimes." Kid stared at me.
"You miss her. You really, really love her." He wasn't asking. He was very good at reading me, even with my mask on.
"You have no idea…" I could feel tears running down my cheeks. He stared at me for a few more seconds before he sat his ice cream on the table next to his bed and pulled my mask off. I wanted to pull my mask back on, I didn't want Kid to see me crying. He stared at my face for a second before he hugged me.
"Don't be sad Papa. It okay…I love you." I smiled and hugged him back. He was right, I shouldn't be sad, I have him, and he means the world to me.
"I love you too Kid." After a while we both pulled back and he stared at my face again. He smiled.

I smiled, Papa looked happy again. I didn't like it when Papa cried, Papa should be happy. I finished my icey cream, I could feel Papa watching me the whole time. I sat the bowl on the table and laid down with my head on Papa's lap. He rubbed my head and I smiled, it felt nice…

I thought nothing was cuter than sleeping Kid. He always looked happy. Malice walked in and jumped on the bed next to Kid. She stared at him for a while before she curled herself around his head. She drifted to sleep too. I gently lifted them both up and sat them on the bed next to me. I laid down and hugged them both to my chest. Kid's bed was nowhere as big mine, and it was a tight fit for the three of us, but I loved laying here with him.
***The Next Day***
Kid and Malice were still asleep, I was sitting next to them in Kid's bed. I looked at Kid, who was wrapped around my arm and remembered, Kid was allowed to get out of bed today. I looked out side, the weather looked nice, maybe I'll let Kid outside…
"Hhhh…Morning, Papa!" He said as he streached. HE pushed himself up so he was sitting next to me.
"Papa, Kiki be back tomorrow?"
"Yep! She's feeling better, she just wants to give it a day so she doesn't get you sick-again."
*TweeTWETYTweeeteeee* Kid giggled whe he heard the bird outside.
"Papa, I aloud to walk today, right?" I nodded.
"We go outside later? Pweese! It so pwetty out!"
"Ha, okay Kiddo! You're right it is beautiful. We'll go out after breakfast!"
"Papa? I hungery!" As soon as he said that his stomach said it too.
*GRWWWWAAAaaa….* I couldn't stop laughing as Kid's face turned scarlet.
"Yummy yummy pan cakes Papa!" He yelled in-between mouthfuls.
"Thank you~ It's not my recipe. Kiki gave it to me. Don't eat so fast Kiddo, you'll choke!" She gave me a book filled with recipes she thought Kid would like (He likes them a lot). She got really pissed when she found out I wasn't giving Kid lunch…
"I done eatin' Papa! We go outside?" Why did I put chocolate chips in his pancakes? It got him all hyper…
"I need to clean the kitchen and do a few things. You can go out but stay in the back yard." The back yard was surrounded in a 7 ft tall fence. He should be okay back there…
KPOV
I partially dragged Malice out with me. Mmmm… It's so nice out! It's warm, sunny, and there's a lil breeze. Pretty day…. I brought two balls too. I gave one to Malice, she pushed it around the yard. I bounced mine off the ground, ha, it went so high! I bounced it harder, Ha, higher, higher! A strong breeze came while my ball was in the air. It blew it right over the fence! I looked around the yard. Papa wasn't out yet, so I gotta get it myself. I walked over to the tree by the fence.
"Malice, I be back soon!" I climbed up the tree. I climbed it a lot, so I got up it quick. I jumped over the fence when I realized something. There's no tree on the other side. I hit the grown hard. I sniffled, it hurt! I sat there for a while, wiped my tears away and brushed the dirt off my pants. I pushed myself up and looked for the ball. I saw it by the edge of the forest. I smiled and walked over t get it, this was easy! I froze when I saw the girl behind my ball.
"Hello, Is this your ball?" I walked a little closer. She looked about my age, she had black hair, black eyes, she was wearing a black dress.
"I'm Sage. Who are you?"
"Ah…I'm Death th' Kid. Can I hav my ball back?" She ignored my question and kept talking.
"You're a reaper, aren't you?" I nodded.
"Ha, cool. I'm a witch. A bat Witch." A Witch! Too bad I don't know what a witch is…
"Bat Witch?"
"Yea! Look!" Some big black things shot out of her back. They were bat wings!
"What ya doing in the forest by my house? Where do you live?" She sounded sad when she answered.
"My sis told me to stay in the forest. I don't got a house me and sis move around a lot."
"Don't you gotta Mama or Papa?"
"I don't know. We run away from all the other witches. I don't know another one other than my sis."
"Where is she?"
"She said some witches were following us and she was gonna make'em go away. I worried though. My sis is really strong, but what if they hurt her?" She looked so sad. I walked a little closer.
"I sure she be fine!"
*GRRRWWAAA* She blushed when her stomach growled.
"You hungry, you can come to my house and eat!" She looked up at me.
"Really? You don't wanna chase me away?"
"No! You my friend, friends don't chase friends unless they playin' tag!"
"Ha. Okay, I go with you!" She gave me my ball and followed me to the fence.
"I live on the other side of this! But I don't know how to get over…"
"I know!" She wrapped her arms around me and flapped her wings. I was flying! She put me down gently in my yard and landed next to me.
"DAT WAS SO COOL!" She blushed, I thought it looked pretty.
"Come on! I want you to meet my Papa!" I grabbed her wrist and dragged her to my house. I was glad Malice was asleep in the yard, she might not like Sage.
"Papa! Papa!"
"Kitchen!" I pulled sage to the Kitchen.
"Papa, can you make sage n' me a snack?"
"Sure who-" He turned and froze.
SPOV
I froze. Kid was standing in front of me, holding hands with a witch….
"SHINIGAMI CHOP!" I hit her and she flew away from Kid. She hit her head on the far wall, stood up and muttered,
"I see bats, flyin' round my head…" She fainted.
"PAPA!" I froze again as Kid ran over and sat next to her.
"PAPA! Don't hit her Papa! She my friend!" I looked at the witch as I walked closer. There was something…off about her soul. It wasn't as evil as a normal witch…Interesting. I shook the girl until she woke up.
"Ugh. My head hurts…"
"I'm sorry I hit you…?"
"Sage, Ow…"
"I'm sorry Sage. You…um…surprised me. What are you doing here?"
"M' Sis n' me were running from da other witches and she told me to stay in the forest…"
"Why do you run from witches?"
"They no like us, sis said it cause we like red souls, not blue ones…" They didn't kill humans? Could a witch be good?
"Don't hit me, pwease?"
"I won't sage. Kid said you wanted a snack?" She nodded.
"Kid, you help her up, I'll make up some sandwiches!" I stayed quiet and listened to there conversation.
"You okay?"
"Yea…"
"Who your sis?"
"Mortishia, but everyone calls her Tisha…She's a fox witch, a good one. She knows lots a ways to use magic…"
"Don worry she be back so-"
"SAGE!" Someone screamed from the back of the house.
"SAGE! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"SIS!"
*CRASH* we all tuned to the now smashed door. There was a very angry looking girl standing there. She looked to be about 19, had red hair, fox ears, black eyes, pale skin, and claw like hands. She was wearing black pants, a black and orange shirt, black shoes (shaped like fox feet). Oh and she had a huge bushy fox tail. She looked like someone Spirit would be 'interested' in.
"GET AWAY FROM MY LITTLE SISTER!"
"No Sis, they my friends!" Sage ran over to her and hugged her.
"Don hurt dem sis, pwease? They real nice to me!" She looked at Sage then me. I could feel her soul was good, just like sage's.
"Humph fine, I'm sorry for bustin' your door down. Thank you for not hurting Sage, Death."
"Hey Sis, you hungry? We gonna make sandwiches!"
"That sounds great, can I help?"
"I can make sandwiches if you think you can handle two hungry kids?"
"Ha, sure." Sage pulled her over to Kid.
"Kid, this my sis, Tisha! Sis, this my new friend!" I chuckled when she hugged Kid, who turned red.
"Hello, Tisha…"
"Hey Kid."
"Kid, you wanna go play catch out side?"
"Okay, Oh You wanna see my cat?"
"Yea!" I smiled as the two of them ran out with Tisha following.
"YUMMIE!" Sage kept giggling as she ate.
"Yea It's nice to eats something we didn't find in the forest for once, huh Sage?"
"yea..." I sat across the table just watching them. Sage was so sweet and innocent. I shuttered at the thought of one of my students finding her. Kid wasn't speaking to me, I think he's mad about me hitting Sage…
Tisha cleared her throat.
"Umm…Loard Death? I really hate to aske this of you…but is it possible we could stay here for a little?"
"Sure! Besides, I think Kiddo will like having Sage around!" Wait…I just invited two witches to stay at my house…
