Kid felt nothing. All he saw was blackness as he lay in nothingness.
Where was he?
Kid slowly opened his golden eyes and looked around.
Ah, there it was. His vision to reality.
Kid attempted to move, but everything was numb. He managed to twitch a finger, but that was it. Kid sighed in exasperation and just gave up, looking upside down into the real world.
He widened his eyes when he saw Maka sobbing pitifully on the ground. "Maka?" Kid asked, his voice hoarse. Even though he knew his sanity had snapped again, this is a new one. Being in a world of darkness with the only light being his vision to the real world.
"Why Kid?! Why?! Why did you kill him?!" Maka screamed. Kid stared in confusion.
Kill? Who did I kill? Kid asked himself.
The vision moved over to a brutally slaughtered body. Kid widened his eyes again in horror. He could barely make out that face.
"B... Black*Star..? NO!" He screamed, his heart hurting.
He.. Killed his best friend... His only friend that would tolerate a killing machine... His only friend dead.. Dead... How could he let this happen?
Maka didn't know what to think anymore. Black*Star was dead and she was left with Kid.
She was terrified. Out of all the times she'd seen Kid, you know, lose his mind, this was by far the scariest. He had a sick, wide grin on his face and his hands were shaking with insanity. There was blood on his cheek and all over his hands.
You'd think he was a serial killer or something.
Oh wait...
"Kid-" Maka got up to her feet slowly. "-are you ok? What's wrong?" She asked, her voice shaking slightly.
Kid turned to her fully. "I.. D-Don't know.. Do y-you think something's wrong?" He asked. He looked like he was trying not to laugh.
At least he realizes that he is losing it.
"You just killed your best friend... Something has to be wrong.. Tell me Kid." Maka asked, getting braver by the second. She has a plan.
"N-Nothing's wrong.." He said, a hand slowly going to his head. Maka was slightly confused by his movement, but decided to ignore it.
"Tell me Kid!" She shouted.
3...
Kid looked around quickly, as if analyzing something.
2...
His grip on the knife tightened.
1...
Maka slowly closed her eyes and reopened them. In one second, she went back to her usual self.
Now!
Kid lunged at her, aiming the knife at her heart. Maka side-stepped and elbowed Kid's shoulder blade. He dropped the knife in pain and used his other hand to grip the injured shoulder. Maka used this oppertunity to pin Kid down.
She grabbed his injured shoulder and pinned it behind his back and used her foot to hold down his other hand. She sat on his feet to keep him from kicking her. Kid struggled uselessly until he fell still, the pain a little bit too much to handle.
Lord Death (finally..) crashed through the room to see what was going on.
"Oh.. My.." He trailed off in horror. Kid started laughing uncontrollably. Lord Death examined the body and immediately saw Black*Star.
"Kid, what the hell did you do?!" Lord Death shouted. Kid kept laughing like the maniac he was.
"Lord Death, I need a little help." Maka said with her teeth gritted together in effort. Lord Death nodded and just picked Kid up under his shoulders. Maka was slightly surprised Kid didn't fight back, but he did rest his head and laughed.
Laughed and laughed and laughed...
You could tell Lord Death was pissed. "Maka, please come with me." He said with a stern tone and started leaving the room. Maka followed, but glanced back at the dead body.
Black*Star had a permanent scream plastered on his face. Always reliving the tragedy of his best friend killing him... Maka felt another tear slip down her face before running after Lord Death.
Lord Death got a cage (God knows where...) and threw Kid in it, then locked it. Kid immediately scrambled to the cage bars and attempted to push them open. He looked like an animal...
"Maka, what exactly happened?" Lord Death asked.
"I don't know sir.. I just saw Kid holding a bloodied knife and standing over Black*Star..." Maka trailed off with a saddened look on her face.
"I understand..." Lord Death looked to his son. "Kid wouldn't just kill Black*Star.. Or Soul for that matter... But he did. I wonder what caused this?" Lord Death mumbled.
Kid heard it all. He was able to move both of his arms, so that must be a sign that he'll be waking up soon. He stared at the supposed ceiling in shame.
"I don't know... I don't know dad..." Kid whispered and then started to cry.
Yes, the great and emotionless Kid was crying.
Lord Death finally turned to Kid and stared at him through the cage. "Why did you do it Kid? What is your reasoning." Lord Death asked.
Kid shrugged and started smiling again. "I don't know. Cause I felt like it?" Kid giggled.
"No, you have to have had a reason." Lord Death argued. Kid quickly lashed out at him through the bars, but Lord Death ducked.
"I don't know old man, now shut it!" Kid growled.
Lord Death sighed. "Alright then. I guess we'll just have to leave you here then. You're obviously too dangerous to be roaming around the kingdom."
"Leave me here? Good luck with that." Kid said with a smirk. Lord Death stayed silent.
"Maka, do you mind staying with him? I'm about to smack him senseless, and I don't really want to do that." Lord Death asked. Maka nodded as Lord Death left the room.
Maka looked to Kid in slight fear. Kid got up and wrapped his hands around the bars.
"Scared?" Kid asked tauntingly. Maka shook her head and got up from the chair she was sitting on. She slowly walked over to Kid and stared at him.
He was at the same height as him, Kid staring at her with a teasing smirk and Maka staring at him with a frown.
"Kid... You're really losing it huh?" She sighed sadly.
"I've already lost it Maka. A long time ago." Kid said.
"Wake up Kid... Please.. I wanna live a normal life with you." Maka whispered and rested her head on the bars and wrapped her hands around Kid's.
Meanwhile, the real Kid was sitting up in the darkness. He smiled for a second, before then turning around to the vision to the real world. He stood up and stumbled over to the light.
The insane Kid got a look of confusion on his face before looking up. Maka also looked up but saw nothing.
"Ah... So he can finally move.." Kid whispered softly.
"What?" Maka asked.
Kid's eyes refocused slightly and he glanced around.
"Kid.. Are you alright now?" Maka asked slowly. Kid faced her for a second before looking down to the side.
"I'm fine now, yes..." He said. Maka felt pity deep in her heart for Kid. She knew he couldn't control it, and all the lives he's taken must be haunting him.
"Kid, it's alright now. We'll both get through this together." Maka said reassuringly.
"Maka, you know that this won't just stop. If anything, it will only get worse and worse. Maybe the world would be better off without me..." Kid sighed.
Maka shook her head. "No Kid. You made your kingdom the strongest in the land. You only need Amako." She said.
Of course a delivery guy (soldier or not, Maka couldn't tell) came by with a letter and handed it to Maka, then left without another word.
Maka blinked a couple times before opening the letter. Kid peered over her shoulder and read it to.
Dear Maka,
I have decided to give up my kingdom. But, that doesn't mean I will go down without a fight. Our soldiers will fight Kid's and fight to the death if necessary. If you do not come to our kingdom by tonight, then we will attack Dhova. Show this to Lord Death, and let him decide.
I love you Maka.. I really do. But I refuse to give up my pride for the success of Dhova.
Well, see you tonight
~Kami
"Wow... Kami's being kinda harsh. But we'll win, I know we will. Why don't you go show this to my father and I'll stay here." Kid suggested with a small smile.
Maka smiled brightly back and ran out of the room to find Lord Death's room.
Kid watched Maka leave then slowly frowned. He sat on the cage floor and held his head with both hands.
"Why did you kill Black*Star.. He was the only one who understood me and didn't fear me.." Kid asked.
"Because I felt like it. I got the feeling he was going to betray you soon enough, so I executed him. Simple." Another side of Kid answered with a laugh.
"He wouldn't betray me.."
"Don't forget that I'm the one who told you Soul would betray you, but you didn't listen. He tried to help Maka escape."
"Yeah, and I told you I would only execute him if I saw him actually do something."
"Shut up idiot. I also gave you the mind reading powers." Kid smiled a Soul smile, the sharp teeth and everything. "Of course, for that there was a price."
"I know, my sanity. But that doesn't mean you can give people the idea that I made a deal with you..."
"They know shinigami exists, but that doesn't mean that they would automatically guess that Satan is controlling you."
"Yeah.. They just think I'm losing my sanity. Anyways, will father let me fight?"
Kid slowly removed his hands from his head and stared at nothing, his usual golden eyes now a bright red. "No. He won't. I will come up with a plan for you to fight though."
Kid's eyes returned to normal and he smiled a tired smile.
"I'm glad.."
Yet another freaky twist.. First that shinigami have to fulfill a desire then die, Kid can read minds, and now he's being controlled by Satan... O_O Shit's going down...
