"Of course, father" Kid then turned to walk away.

"Before you go son" Lord Death called out, Kid turned around expecting to be handed another unexpected assignment to take care of. "Have fun on your trip!" he waved cheerfully. Kid nearly pumped into the pole.

"Right, thanks" and he left back to the islands of Hawaii.

"Lizzy baby!" a male's voice was knocking on the apartment door. She must have fallen asleep again waiting for Kid. "Lizzy! Oh Lizzy!" she heard the singsong calling for her.

"One moment please!" she tidied herself the best she could before opening the door just a crack to see who it was. "Oh, Francis. What are you doing here?"

"I saw you walk in here earlier, but anyway. I'd thought we'd hang out. Like good 'ole times" he made a lopsided grin. Somehow Liz knew that invited him in would be…. Wrong, she supposed. It wasn't even her apartment.

She opened the door a bit more and was just about to step outside but Francis instead barged in with her still in front him. He kicked the door behind him and grabbed her by the arms and forced her against the very same spot that she once stood before with Kid. Her back was pressed against the cold hard wall and she let out a yelp then glared at him.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"Don't act like you hate this you little imp" he told her lowly, Lizzy felt a familiar fear coursing through entire body. This, was a similar setting. This was going way far back to the dark days of her life back on the streets. She broke into sobs, but still fought with her might to get him away. Without Kid or her sister, she was really just a normal harmless human girl. Defenseless for she had no actual fighting skills aside from great shooting aim and some high jumps and flips.

"Please stop"

"You little-!" he seemed to be furious with her for some reason. His eyes burned with disgust, "was he so good then? The best you ever had?" he mocked.

She shook her head in disbelief, having difficulty accepting that this was the same sweet guy she'd met the other day.

"So, you made me follow you around like an idiot, then all of a sudden your employer" he said that as if it was a gross thing, "comes around and I'm forgotten? Like I was some petty little bitch for you to mess with?" he shook his head. "I've got some news for you, nobody makes a fool out of me."

"I could always report you" she threatened.

He laughed, "Who's going to believe a little slut? I mean look at you. You work for a guy doing god knows what, and then there's the way you dress. Always overly revealing you are. Yeah, some sound argument you'll make."

His remarks fueled her anger enough to knee him, but he deflected her intend by turning his waist away. "You'll regret that"

Kid's mind was full of many things, first things first. He'll need to explain the misunderstanding. He really hoped that he could do that before he left, he was also going mention that he was called back to the academy to look into an investigation. But she instead ran off with that Francis guy.

He let out an explicit sound of aggravation. "Hell" he'd just gotten to the elevator and pressed the button to his floor. He wondered what she'd been up to lately, whether or not she worried about him. 'Ding!' goes the bell and the doors opened up from the middle.

A loud crashing sound interrupted his train of thoughts followed by a screech and a howl of pain before it registered into his mind that those noises were coming from…. "Hell and Damnation!"

He sprinted towards his room and found that the door was locked. Another crashing sound emerged from the inside. He took a step back then slammed into the door with the side of his shoulder and the door hinges flew off as it swung open. Lizzy stood atop of what looked like a crumbled up body of Francis. She then took a hasty step back and fell on her rear, tear stricken and shaken up on the floor.

Kid moved forward to get to her but Francis started laughing. "I guess they teach sluts how to fight now days, I wouldn't be surprised if she was from the streets" Kid's mind suddenly turned into blinded rage as he damaged Francis's already bruised body some more. BlackStar, Crona, and Soul ran into the room and found a very angry reaper nearly killing a human.

It took Soul and BlackStar to pry Kid away from his victim and Crona had to drag the man out of the room. Kid shrugged his arms away from his friends and yelled at them to get out. They looked at Liz, trying to find a way to get to her so they could also take her back to the girls room. Kid wouldn't allow that.

"Take her out of my sight and I swear I will do the most indescribable to you. No shinigami will ever compare to my methods, and even my father wouldn't be able to stop me," His threat worked well, for they turned around without a thought and left without looking back.

Kid was in the middle of taking several deep breaths when he felt the hem of his shirt being tugged. Lizzy had stopped sobbing and was now trying to sooth him. Ironic that she would think he needed one.

He took a knee down on the floor, wrapped his hand around the back of her neck and looked at her seriously, "did he hurt you?"

"He tried to, but I managed to keep him at bay" she said that while looking at the ground. "Where were you?" she asked through a broken sob and began weeping from what he believed was an after-shock. Truth was she was relief that he came back, though she knew that it was silly to worry about that; she couldn't help herself but to wonder.

He pulled her closer and tugged her head under his chin, "Shhh, it's over now. He's gone" he whispered, her sobs faltered a little. He thought she was crying about Francis. Maybe it was weird to think it but she thought it rather amusing.

"Kid?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks for ruining my first date" she can feel a hesitant smile spreading on his face and even guessed how far up his eyebrow rose.

"Anytime"

"So what are we gonna do about him?" Soul looked down and the badly beaten tourist.

"Shouldn't we turn him in?" Crona asked.

"We should but I don't think he'll ever recover. What with Kid deforming the man's body and all" BlackStar joked, "dump him off at the front of the hospital and they'll take him in" he carelessly.

"I guess we could just call an ambulance, he doesn't look like he's going to make it." Soul was now poking him with a stick.

"Hiiiii!" Patty ran towards them.

"Patty! Close your eyes and turn around" Crona told her, he was worried that the sight might scar her innocent mind.

"Ohhhh! Dead man!" she squealed. She placed her hands on her knees and bend over the body to take a closer look. At that moment, Francis opened his eyes and instead of seeing Patty, he saw the face of her older sister.

"Ahhhhhh! Get away from me!" he yelled and jumped up, and actually sprinted away.

Patty was insulted, so she humped and stomped away. Crona went after her to try and comfort her hurt feelings.

"I guess that settles it" Soul stood up and put his arms behind his head. BlackStar shrugged and walked ahead of him.

"Soul! What are you doing over there?" Maka called from the lobby. "BlackStar!" Tsubaki called out and relaxed as he came nearer and nearer. "Why did you run off?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing much" he told her, "I just forgot to take out the trash."

She was confused by what he meant, but when he winked at her she decided she'll ask more about it later.

Patty stormed all the way back to the lobby. "Am I that ugly?" she demanded.

"Not at all" Crona protested, already wishing he'd at least punched the man.

"You're just being nice!"

"I'm not, Patricia"

"You… you…" she turned around to stare at him, "What did you call me?"

It almost seems a life time away since anyone used her birth name to her. Somehow it sounded foreign but intimate at the same time.

Crona sighed and gently pushed her into the elevator before entering himself. He pressed the button to their floor then gave her his attention. "Do you mind if I called you that?"

"Uh, no. I was just... Why?"

"I like it"

"Oh"

He smiled at her apologetically, "I think I made this awkward" two tiny blush dots dotted her cheeked. She turned her head away.

Crona then teased her by mocking what she'd said earlier, "Am I that ugly?" he asked in fake hurtfulness.

"No!" she said without thought and felt the pink dots turning darker.

He chuckled as the bell charmed and the doors split open from the middle. Reaching out to bring up her hand, he'd also searched into his pocket to fetch something with his free one. When he felt it, he pulled out his fist and dropped the object into her open palm. She gaped at it, while he then hold her other hand and for once, Crona led the way.

BlackStar and Tsubaki ran into Masuda once again just outside their hotel.

"Why the hell is he everywhere all of a sudden!?" BlackStar grumbled loudly and dragged Tsubaki to a different path.

Soul entered the lobby and picked up his bags, a basket with their lunch that Maka prepared, and a bottle that he'd bought from the local store.

Proceeding to their plans, they went to the beach to spend the rest of day there.

Soul stood still as Maka applied sunscreen on his before he spotted someone that he knew.

He did hope that the person would be here today. He told Maka that he forgot something and picked up the mysterious bottle and left the beach to the nearest restroom.

Out in the ocean Jon was catching most of the high waves as he was surfing. Way up high, he spotted Maka laid out on a towel in a two piece navy blue bikini. He was astounded by how curvy she actually was. And because he'd only seen her in clothes that almost looked baggy, he'd figured that she was about as flat as a board. But in her bikini, sure she was thin but her waist does span out lusciously. Her chest wasn't really flat, they weren't much in size either but she did have something there and was actually looking rather lovely today.

He'd directed his board to move towards her, until he noticed something coming towards him. At first he'd only seen a bit of whiteness then a long fin poked out of the water. 'it's the great white' he panicked and the shark jumped up and opened its mouth. Jon was now staring at many pointy teeth and screamed.

Jon then quickly directed his board the other way and as soon as he made it to shore, he packed up his things and left the beach.

Soul was cracking up under water. His hair, he'd somehow found a waterproof gel to make it stand up in mohawk fashion.

"Soul?" Maka called out when she didn't see him emerge from the water. She was walking towards the ocean and caught a glimpse of his hair poling out like a shark.

"You're going to scare the people" she told him in a disapproving tone. He grinned at her before narrowing his eyes. Then he looked every bit a real shark approaching its' prey.

"Soooooul" she said warningly, slowly backing away from him. He broke into a run and she squealed as she also runs but the other way.

"Help me!" she yelled laughingly to anybody and on and on the chase went.
