CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Today is my last day.

I woke up. Sunlight was peacefully peeking through the small window of my cell. I quickly got up & ran to the bars that locked me in.

The guard was gone today.

I was shocked. I fell onto the floor, overwhelmed with sadness. How could he not be here…?

I heard the sound of my cell's bar doors being opened. A guard came up to me & roughly grabbed me by the arm. His grip hurt me.

The guard dragged me to a door leading to the place where my life would finally end.

Of course – just like in my nightmare – I heard the chanting of over hundreds of people.

The guard hand cuffed me right before he pushed me out the door. There, I saw a platform where I was going to be hung. More guards came & escorted me to the rope. I trembled with fear as the tied the rope around my neck.

"Please… Epsie, Maka… Hurry," I whispered.

"Maka speaking! Um, sis… I'm sorry, we're going to be running a bit late," I heard Maka's voice. She seemed to be really worried.

"By the time you get here, I'm going to be dead…"

"Oh, trust me. You're not. That guard didn't choose to watch over you for nothing."

Maka… She knew about the guard? …But how?

The rope was now loosely tied around my neck. This is it, this is the end of me…

"No one will be hurting and or killing her!"

A voice called from above the crowd. I looked up to see bullets – no, wavelengths – shot at the rope above me. The trap had opened up but instead of being choked to death, I landed safely on the ground.

I snickered & smiled.

"Kid's here."

I got up from being under the platform I fell through. I broke the cuffs using my magic. Looking up at the sky, I saw Kid on his skateboard. "You ready for some action?" I asked, smiling an evil smile as I formed a scythe using my magic. "Heh, I'm already far ahead of ya," Kid chuckled. He got off of his skateboard & retrieved it. We were now back to back, thousands of guards surrounding us.

"I'm guessing he's arrived," Maka giggled.

"Yeah, he has. I'm counting on you for transportation back to Death City, Maka. Be careful & make sure you protect Kirsten!" I replied with a smile on my face. I was determined to get a little piece of action once again.

Kid looked back at me. "I'm ready to strike," he whispered. I laughed. "I've been ready."

I jumped high into the air, focusing on the group of guard I was facing. "My power may be limited, but I'm pretty strong for a half-witch!" I shouted.

I swung my scythe & blades of light had followed after it, all going towards the guards. Some retreated & others went unconscious. I landed back down onto the ground beside Kid. "How much energy did that even take?" he asked. Someone didn't want to believe that his own girlfriend was more powerful than he was – minus the power of his Lines of Sanzu.

"Not even a bit. That was one of my weakest hits," I boasted. "That's not fair! And I'm the one to be called unbelievable… Tsk tsk," he pouted.

"Well, it's my turn now!"

Kid started shooting at the crowd of guards one by one. His aim was perfect; I can see them all fall. While Kid was shooting, I ran into the mob & swung my scythe here & there. The guards were too easy, they didn't even put up much of a fight. "You guys are so weak," I muttered.

As we fought, Kid & I ended up being back to back once again. "Isn't there some other way we can just finish them all at once? This is getting really annoying," I complained. "There is. I can resonate souls with Liz & Patti, but I could use some assistance," he replied, shooting as more guards approached. I could tell we were both thinking the same thing.

"Resonance link," we said at the same time.

"I'm ready whenever you are!" I shouted, parting from him again. He nodded his head & continued to fight off the guards. It wasn't too long until he started to shout for me.

"CHIBI!"

We both stood at a clear spot where guards wouldn't be able to reach us for a while. I closed my eyes & focused on lending my strength to Kid.

Soon enough, our souls linked. He shouted, "Let's go, soul resonance!" along with Liz & Patti.

I must admit, this was my first time seeing someone resonate souls with their weapon so it ended up looking a lot cooler to me than it should be. There were these black spikes that appeared on the upper arm section of Kid's clothing. Liz & Patti turned into cannons that covered the lower half of Kid's arm. The transformation was complete.

"Fire now!" Patti said in her cute, innocent voice.

Kid aimed at the sea of guards & mumbled, "Death Cannon."

Huge blasts came from both Liz & Patti, destroying everything in their path. They even managed to damage the ground beneath us. Almost all of the guards had been wiped out.

Kid & I looked at each other. I dropped my scythe & ran into his arms. I no longer had to hold the tears back. "I m-missed you so much! I th-thought you'd n-never come for me!" I sobbed. He ran his fingers through my hair & held me tightly. "Oh Chibi… I'm sorry I made you worry so much. You should know that I was with you the whole time," he whispered. I looked at him & wiped away a tear. "R-really?"

"I'll admit to it. I was the guard who was watching over you," he said, moving my bangs away to fully reveal my eyes. He smiled as he was doing so. "K-Kid…" I muttered. I rested my head on his chest to keep him from seeing me cry even more. I've never cried in front of anyone except for Kid.

"Hey, we're here Chibs! Where are you? Are you making out with that Kid guy you like so much? I think I see you two, but I'm not too sure!" Maka interrupted the moment. "Hold on Kid, Maka's contacting me," I said quietly. I let go of him & walked a couple of feet away.

"IDIOT! I was having a moment with Kid & I was NOT making out with him! Stop assuming s-such things… Where are you?" I answered, trying to keep myself from crying. I could hear faint laughing above me. I looked up & saw Maka & Kirsten on a broom. Epsie was on top of Maka's head while in cat form. "Well I spy with my little eye… My older sister who's shorter than me!" she shouted. I frowned & started to pout. "What the hell Maka! You know how much I hate it when people talk about my height! That's a sensitive topic!"

They approached the ground & got off the broom. Epsie transformed back into her human form & Kid joined our little group. Maka stared at Kid & slowly walked around him. She examined him for a while & finally spoke. "So you're the guy that my sis has been dating. I don't see anything strange about you as Kirsten says, maybe she – Um… Are you alright?"

Kid started to frown & scratch his head. "Here we go again," Liz sighed. I stood in front of Kid & started waving my arms to cover Maka from his sight. "C'mon Kid, there's nothing asymmetrical here! Just get you mind off of things like that! Uh… Just look at Kirsten & admire her symmetry!" I said. He turned around & started to get all giddy when he saw my little sister. I sighed in relief.

"Asymmetrical? What?" Maka asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Kid's got asymmetriphobia. You should probably never wear that dress ever again or he'll freak. It isn't pretty when he starts to freak," I explained. Maka was still dumbfounded.

After another few minutes of talking & catching up, another wave of guards came out. "Hurry! Kirsten, let's get on the broom! Chibi, here's your carpet! Take Epsie with you," Maka shouted as she threw me a small pouch. I opened it up & my trusty magic carpet came out. I stood on it while Epsie went back into cat form & jumped on & started to ride away.

Kid lead us back to Death City on his skateboard. It was a long flight.

"So, how'd you guys manage to get Kirsten back from the guards? Did you break her out?" I asked. Maka had a nervous smile on her face when she looked at me.

"Uh, we um… we seduced them into giving her back," she mumbled.

"WHAT? Maka, you're ten years old! You shouldn't be seducing older men!" I shouted in both surprise & anger. Maka was a young beauty, but girls her age shouldn't be doing such things!

"Chibs, I don't think I said that I was the one who did the seducing," she mumbled, eyeballing Epsie. I stared at her as she quietly lay down on my carpet.

"You're a bad kitty!" I yelled. She meowed from being startled.

"Well, Maka here didn't want to use her magic powers so I had no other choice!" she explained. Sighing in grief, I shook my head & decided to stay silent for the rest of the trip.

Once Death City was visible in the horizon, a question popped into my head.

"Um, Kid… what are we going to say to your Father about me being a witch?" I asked nervously. He looked back at me in worry.

"I don't know yet. We're just going to have to tell him & prey that he's fine with it," he replied. I was still nervous of what Lord Death will have to say. I'm pretty sure he'll be really strict when it comes to witches…

"We're finally home. Maka, you're free to stay here whenever," Kid said as he retrieved his skateboard & opened the doors to his mansion. "Everything seems perfect… Too perfect. Stupid little rich kids…" I could hear Maka whispering to herself. Heh, here comes her judgmental side again…

We entered the mansion. Kid went to show Epsie & Maka to the guest room that had originally been for me. My clothes were still in the closet there, but I didn't mind they were going to be staying. I sat with Kirsten on the sofa of his living room. She had been leaning on my shoulder & quickly fell asleep. She looked like a sweet innocent angel.

I picked Kirsten up & brought her to the guest room where Epsie & Maka quietly unpacked their stuff. "Kirsten fell asleep so just leave the room when you guys are done & PLEASE stay quiet," I whispered, carefully setting her down on the bed. Both Epsie & Maka nodded their heads as I exited the room. In the hallway, I saw Kid.

"You seemed pretty miserable without me," he said. I smiled & rolled my eyes. "Of course I was miserable. I can't go a day without you," I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. He wrapped his around my waist. "Even though I was with you all this time, I still miss you," he whispered. I laughed & said, "I miss you too."

Kid & I started to get closer. Our lips were about to come into contact…

"WOAH. Okay, I don't need to, uh, see this!" Maka shouted as she closed the door behind her. I looked back at her & frowned. "You really love to just interrupt the good moments in life…" I muttered. She laughed & headed down the hall. "It's so fun teasing you! Now, c'mon. I miss my sister's cooking! You're the best cook I know," she exclaimed. I shook my head & smirked. "Sorry, that's just how she is sometimes," I laughed.

"I can see that," he chuckled. "I'll go tell Liz & Patti we'll be eating lunch soon. I'll come & help you cook. See ya." Kid walked down the hall to Liz & Patti's room.

"He's so kind," I muttered.
