Chapter 11
I Now Know
A/N Hello everyone!
I just reread chapter 10 and I'm ashamed, it's so terrible! I might edit it later to make it better but I doubt I will, I'm too lazy.
School starts august 27, which gives me less than a week left of vacation. I'll try to get as much written as I possibly can in these coming days as I won't have a lot of time when school starts again.
Also I apologize for not updating sooner, I had been working on a story that I hope to publish the first chapter of sooner or later on this site.
Now, to the story!
The rest of the day passed without too many incidents (*that was meant sarcastic*), well apart from when Patty and Black*star destroyed the wall, then Kid freaked about it not being symmetrical and destroyed the rest of it. Which then caused Stein to start throwing Scalpels, which led to him cutting of part of Kids bangs on accident. Which now left me, in scythe form , chasing Stein, who was carrying spirit , also in scythe form, who was running from one very angry, very powerful, not to mention now thoroughly asymmetrical , reaper. To say Kid was pissed was an understatement. But at least he was chasing Stein with me, an asymmetrical scythe, which was an improvement on his OCD right?Who was I kidding, Kid was probably just too busy with trying to catch Stein to worry about my asymmetrical weapon form.
Eventually we wound up in the Death Room, Stein cowering behind Lord Death who also held kid back with a big white hand placed in front of him. Lord Death knew that Kid would never disobey him unless suspicious about something. Lord Death got Kid to calm down and sent him through his mirror to somewhere, much to the our confusion. I had switched out of my weapon form and was standing threateningly over my father and Stein. It wasn't like my old self to tell of people older than me but this was the new me and I was Kids, weapon ( well, temporarily) and close friend.
"You need to be more careful! You've caused Kid a lot of trouble! Not to mention for him to destroy part of the school because of you!" I shouted at them. Kid really had destroyed part of the school, he was unstoppable when you really pushed him to it. Luckily the part he had destroyed would be easy to fix the just needed to relay the ground around the entrance to the school. I turned to Lord Death who motioned to the mirror.
"If you want you can go make sure he's okay just step through the mirror and it'll transport you there." Lord Death clapped his hands and made a shooing motion. I could almost swear he winked at me as I stepped up to the mirror and placed a hand on it. Then taking a deep breath and trusting Lord Death I stepped through the mirror.
What I saw was not what I expected. I had expected to see Gallow's Mansion, the perfectly symmetrical residence of the Death Family. But instead I saw dark, foreboding landscape. The sky was a silvery gray and blue souls shot across it in a steady stream, some branching off and forming ghosts not to far away which turned to look at me. The ground was a mixture between a reddish clay like substance and hard gray granite. Here and there small bushes of dark green spotted with black and white flowers dotted the landscape. The ghosts that had landed not long ago were very close now, I could feel the coldness that leaked from there undead skin, they were varying shades of blue and green and where partly translucent. They formed a circle around me and I began to worry, what was this place, it is some kind of land of the dead ?
"That would be partly right Maka, this is a place for the dead, they pass through here on their way to heaven or hell. Us Shinigami's call it the Inbetween." I whirled around and saw Kid standing on the steps of a, well not mansion it was too small for that, I supposed I could deem it a palace. But the house didn't strike me as much as Kid did. His hair was darker, you could hardly tell where it ended and the surroundings began, his white stripes where brighter, the brightest white you could imagine. And his eyes. My lord, they shimmered and glowed , molten gold. They literally glowed. His mouth looked like it was trying to decide whether to smirk or frown disapprovingly at me. His skin looked like marble, like white marble. My lips parted slightly as he came closer towards me and I stared in wonder. He didn't wear the usual suit he normally did but a white shirt that had the top buttons undone so you could see the toned, smooth muscle underneath, under that he wore black slacks and his normal dress shoes. He stopped in front of me and I blinked and looked to his left and right, where the ghosts had been standing, they were now gone.
"What are you doing here Maka ? This is a place for the dead and Shinigami's. You are the first living being to come here in over two thousand years." he frowned down at me with those glowing molten eyes,casting a sheen of gold over the rest of his face. I took a step back, Kid had never sounded so displeased to see me, or any of our friends for that matter. I blinked again and looked down at my feet. Which I was startled to find covered by a flowing white dress. I looked down at myself and found myself covered in the white dress, it was long sleeved and brushed the ground as I moved .The dress was covered in white lace and even had a loose corset by the looks of it. I looked up at him in freight, how did this happen, how could this happen. It was impossible. His frown turned into a soft smile and he took another step forward.
"This space shows and dresses a person in their purest form, it dresses and shows people what their souls represent. You having a Grigori soul are depicted as an angle. Me being a Shinigami, the of the rulers of this land, am shown in my true form." He took another step forward, and we nearly touched, he was close enough that , if I stood on my tiptoes ( I had never realized until now how tall Kid really was) I would be able to brush my lips across his. As I thought about this he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me towards his chest. He placed a hand on the back of my head and smoothed out my hair.
"You really shouldn't think of such things Maka, not here at least." he pulled back slightly so I could peer up at him in confusion. "I can read minds in my true form, honorable Father can do it anywhere, it is rather handy you know." he said with a laugh as I blushed red from head to toe and pushed at his chest to try and get away from him. He had to be lying, there was no way he heard me think about our height comparison in such an embarrassing way! His arms tightened around me as he rested his head on the top of my head.
"There's no need to be embarrassed about it, you didn't know, you couldn't have known actually. Besides," he pulled back and leaned his face down to mine, so our noses were touching. "I think about kissing you all the time." and with that he softly pressed his lips to mine. He didn't move them he didn't ask anything of me he just pressed his lips to mine as I pressed mine back. It was soft, it was sweet, it was surprisingly sexy too, then again Kid was sexy so it couldn't be helped. I felt him smile into the kiss and I know he heard what I thought, even through the ecstasy of kissing.
And then I realized all in that small time frame, that when I had asked my self why I had been treating Kid differently when I came back, I now knew the answer, and the answer was simple.
I was in Love with Kid,
I was in Love with a beautiful, sexy, Shinigami.
And he, Liked (hopefully loved) me too.
A/N Thank you for reading!
I have no idea how I managed to write that last part without squealing the whole time. Also I kind of eh, just wrote this chapter without thinking about it. So , eh, sorry that it really doesn't fit in with the story. Oh well, guess I'll just have to change the whole frigging plot (that still has to come, nothing in the chapters before will change) for this story because of this chapter.
Also something in brackets () with stars * in them means it's an authors comment not the characters.
