-Europe, year 1459 AD-

A small simple town could be seen in the middle of dark and cloudy woods. This town was the only town in the area as the forest that surrounds them was a cursed place where unnatural things occur. But for the villagers, who have learned to tolerate it, it was a relatively peaceful place to raise a family and settle down.

Near the edge of the village was a small hut with smoke coming out of the window. It seemed normal and blended in right, but the person inside was far from normal. For this wasn't a person in a normal sense. But a very dangerous creature of unnatural power, a witch.

Inside it had the usual stuff you'd expect. A cauldron, several glass vials, animal bones, if a witch is known for it, it was seen in here.

But what wasn't normal was two cradles in the corner of the window as a small girl with short black hair and spider like irises was keeping watch.

"Boring!" She groaned while looking very bored. "Watching after my sisters is nothing but an annoying chore." She looked outside while wishing she could play outside. 'What I wouldn't give to be a normal child.'

One of the babies who had blond hair gurgled while squirming in her cradle before she started whimpering.

The girl turned and picked her up while rocking her. "There there, don't cry little Medusa."

That was when the baby with reddish purple hair started to cry.

She groaned before picking her up and tried rocking them both. "There there Shaula, don't cry either." 'Ugh, having sisters is annoying, when will mother came back from her meeting?'

Crack.

She blinked as she heard something coming from the woods.

Crack.

"...ahhh!" Screamed a cloaked figure while flying on some strange skulls near its shoulder. "Run away!"

She ducked down and heard a thump against the house while her sisters started outright crying.

"Awawaw!"

"Awawaw!"

"Don't cry, please don't cry!"

"Ow….I'm ok." Groaned the figure while it's voice was right under the window. "I didn't lose my life that time."

The girl looked down and saw a skull like mask looking back at her. "AHHHHH!"

"AHHHH!"

"AHHHH!"

"AHHHH! WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!"

She ran away and hid behind a table with her baby sisters in tow.

"Wait wait! What's wrong?"

"Get away skeleton!"

"I'm not a skeleton! I'm a reaper!"

"That's even worse!"

"In training!" he clarified while trying to look in and stopped when he saw the inside of the house. "Um…."

"Get out!" She yelled while keeping her sisters close to her. "You're not getting our souls!"

"Um…...you realize you're in a witches house right, wait! Oh god! You're human sacrifices! I'll save you!" he cried out while grunting as he climbed in through the window and looked around. "Quick, follow me through here before the witch comes back."

"You mean my mother?"

"Yes your moth….what?" He turned to her and paled. "Oh god…..you...you're familiars!"

The girl facepalmed.

The figure looked around before pulling out a clawed hand. "Don't worry! I'll unseal your souls from this place, now tell me where your souls are so I can save-"

"I'M NOT A FAMILIAR! SHE GAVE BIRTH TO THE THREE OF US!"

"AWAWAW!" The babies cried out while the girl rocked them.

The figure looked very lost while putting the claw away. "Oh…..sorry miss?"

"Arachne, now get out." she scowled. 'If I didn't have my hands full I'd end him before he could make a break for it.'

He slowly walked towards the door. "Again sorry, I didn't know. I mean this is my first day of being a reaper, so I got a little carried away."

"AWAWAWAWAWA!" cried the babies harder making Arachne groan.

"There there Medusa, Shaula, don't worry the reaper is leaving." She said while the mentioned reaper was right next to her.

"Maybe I can help? I'm kind of a softy for kids."

She jumped while the figure looked at the little babies.

"Very cute." He chuckled before pulling out two rattles and placed them in their little hands.

They shook the rattles slightly and seemed focused on them while slowly crying.

"When will you leave reaper?"

"When I get your little siblings happy." He eye smiled while looking around. "That and I wanted to make it up to you for scaring you."

"You didn't scare me, that was….me trying to scare you." she fibbed while turning away.

"That made no sense."

"It's called a battle cry." she huffed.

"I've heard battle cry's when I went with my father to Norway, and I can tell you that's no battle cry."

She huffed at that while slightly blushing.

The figure shook his head while chuckling a little bit. "Well, I have to admit flying into your home like a crazy wraith was kind of stupid so I understand why you got scared miss Arachne."

"It's just Arachne." she replied before she heard footsteps and went wide eyed. "Oh no, our mother is coming back."

He blinked before looking around and saw a box which he tried getting in. "Damn! It's too small!"

"Not in there!"

"Arachne, open the door."

"Coming mother." she spoke while the reaper looked around before running over and ducked behind the cauldron. She opened the door as a woman with a black and green robe, a C cup chest, a large ass, long black hair, green eyes, and holding a broom in her left hand walked in as her irises had the head of a gorgon instead of a normal iris. "Welcome home mother."

She walked in and looked around. "So how were your sisters? Did you feed them and change their diapers?"

"Well no, they actually just cried and made loud noises."

"Well that's good." She said while walking towards the cauldron. "Now did you remember to keep intruders out instead of playing?"

Her eyes widened and ran over to cut her mother off. "Yes! I made sure no one came in or around, but could you help me calm Medusa and Shaula? They seem cranky."

She blinked while taking the children in her hands, only to see the rattles. "Arachne? Did you use magic to makes these rattles?"

She paled while gulping. "Um...yes! I thought maybe it would help, for the most part."

"I see." She said while walking away. "Keep up the good job, and who knows, maybe the head witch will make you her apprentice."

"Yes mother." She said while watching her mother walking into the other room.

"Your mother has a big butt." The reaper whispered. "Even bigger than a spider's."

"Don't speak and just get out." she whispered back. "Otherwise you'll find out what happens to ameteur reapers who sneak into my mother's house."

"Um ok?" He said while jumping out the window. "So see you again sometime?"

"When pigs fly."

"Ok." He said before flying away. 'Now how to make pigs fly? Maybe father knows?'

'Foolish reaper, I can already tell he won't make it past a hundred.'

(Later)

-Year 1500 AD-

Arachne looked out the window while taking a break from researching a new spell, involving making cats grow and speak like humans. She had grown since she was a child and was looking more like a young teen with a black cloak around her body and longer hair. She also started gaining a figure that was similar to her mother, but with a larger chest, much to her dismay.

But as she started to relax, she saw….a pig flying in the air.

"WEEEEEE!" It cried out before crashing into the wall. "Weeee…."

"What the hell?!" She cried out while not knowing that a familiar figure was flying towards the house. 'Did Medusa try making a local pig fly again?'

"Hello." Spoke the same reaper from before, but was a little taller than the last time. "Great to see you again."

She turned and screamed while causing a small strand of thread to shoot out from her hand which latched onto his mask.

"Um….not the best time?" He asked while wiping the thread off his mask.

"What are you doing here?!"

"Oh I came to visit you." He chuckled. "And you said when pigs fly so I kind of...used a catapult on one."

"...what?"

"I made a pig fly." he clarified while giving a thumbs up. "It wasn't by magic or nature, but it still technically counts."

"...you're weird."

"I get that a lot." He chuckled before looking around. "So what's up? How are your sisters? Did your mother leave?"

"She's out again." she remarked dryly. "And why did you come back anyway? Shouldn't you be out somewhere else in another country hunting some other witch or whatever you're learning what to do?"

"Well I just finished sending some souls to the other side and I was in the neighborhood and I thought it would be nice meeting you again." He rubbing his head. "So here I am."

"Well you met me, now leave."

"But I just came here." He huffed. "Plus I had something for you."

"Then show me and leave." She frowned before seeing him pulling out a small sunflower from his sleeve.

"A ray of sunshine for you Arachne."

She blinked and looked at it before accepting it. "Uh, it's just a flower."

"Yes, but it's a 'sun' flower." he eye smiled. "And it made me think of you."

She blinked. 'That was corny.'

"So yeah, I was thinking about you when I got that flower...do you like it?"

"Well it's certainly...yellow." she replied plainly.

"And if you look at the seeds, it reminds me of your eyes...wait I mean your smile, I mean...um...I'll just go now." He said with a blush.

"Hold up." she spoke. "Just where do you live? I mean I know reapers are linked with death, but do you actually have a house to sleep in?"

"Oh that, we're nomadic. If we stay in one place then it might cause more deaths than normal. And we only do that during wars, famines and mass burnings." he replied while tilting his head. "Why do you ask? Were you worried?"

"N-No!" she quickly said with a light blush. "Why would I be worried about a ameteur reaper?"

"Well what have you been up to? Learning any new spells?"

"Just learning how to make cats talk."

"Oh, and how's it going? Are any of them talking?"

"Not exactly, they're talking but somehow their speaking spanish."

He snickered hearing that.

"Don't laugh." she frowned.

"Buts it's funny, I mean talking cats that speak spanish? That's funny." He snickered. "Almost like me scaring a few priests with a flaming chicken...it was my first time drinking."

"Wait, how old are you?"

"About eighty, but in human terms I'm only sixteen."

'Huh, well he's managed to live this long, but I doubt he'll make it far.' she thought. "Look, it's best if you try to get out of here before my mother comes back."

"Wait! You didn't even tell me how old you are."

"Why? It's rude to tell boys a girls age."

"Not really, I mean it's not that rude telling a friend right?"

She looked at him confused. "Friends?"

"Yeah, aren't we already friends?" He asked honestly.

She felt that hit her in surprise before shaking her head. "We've only just met once before this, and in case you forgot, I'm a witch, and you're a reaper in training."

"So? My father is friends with a vampire, a werewolf and a zombie. So why not a reaper and a witch?"

'Are all reapers this weird?!' she deadpanned. "In case you forgot, reapers HUNT and end witches lives."

"So?" He asked.

"It won't work!"

"Oh….then let's make it work Arachne." he replied with a finger up.

"Make what work exactly?"

"Our friendship, think about it. If we are friends then it will be easier to understand each other." He said with a happy tone. "Like for example, I'm afraid of dirt."

"..." she blinked before grabbing some dirt.

"Ahh!" he jumped while she lowered her hand, making him sigh before she raised it up and he jumped again.

'Is he really a reaper or some village child playing a joke?'

"Get it away from me!" He screamed before tripping and caused him to fall, knocking his mask off in the process. "Ow...my back."

She leaned in through the window and he looked near her age with short black scraggly hair and white lines which seemed to form if the hair was closely knit together. His eyes were blackish yellow and made him look like a statue.

"Ow...ok that hurt….um Arachne?" He said while looking at her. "Arachne?"

'Wow, he's actually….' she trailed off before shaking her head. "What?"

"You spaced out." He said while putting his mask on. "I thought you were thinking about your sisters or something girls like? Do they like worms?"

"Only if we use them for spells." she replied while feeling her face warm up a little.

He got up and turned. "So I'll be off then, um when will I see you again, wait, how old are you?"

"You just asked that!" she blurted out with annoyance and a blush.

"Well you never told me."

"...fifteen." She blushed.

"I thought you were nineteen, sorry." He said before flying off.

She huffed and turned away from the window. 'What a complete weirdo.'

(Much later)

-Year 1550 AD-

We find the witch stirring her cauldron while chanting something archaic. The cauldron bubbled while turning a bright green. "Alright, it should be warm enough, now to just test it." She took a wooden spoon and scooped it up while not knowing that someone just entered through the window and was right behind her.

"What are you doing Arachne?"

"Ah!" She jumped as she dropped the spoon and caused the contents to fall on the ground, making the wood melt in the process.

"Wow, I hope you're not making a soup, I don't think that's safe to eat."

"That's because it's a spell to make people sleep for ten years." She frowned. "Now I have to test it, maybe on you reaper?"

"Now now that's not nice." he remarked while she noted he seemed taller. "I just came by for a friendly visit."

"And yet I didn't send you an invitation." She spoke while turning.

"Did you get fatter?" He asked innocently. "Because your butts like a spider's now."

BONK!

"Ow!" he held his head while she glared.

"Never call a girl's butt fat!"

He gulped while nodding. "O-Ok A-Arachne."

She went back to her work as the reaper looked around.

"Lots of spiders here you know, makes me recall the giant bird catching spiders I saw last week, but let's just say I got one in my robes."

"Good, maybe you'll learned not to mess with them." she remarked while using a new spoon to stir the cauldron.

"I did." He sweatdropped before pulling out some wine and cheese. "So care for lunch? I got this all the way from Sweden."

She looked at it and felt her stomach growl before blushing as he chuckled. "S-Shut up, I haven't had lunch yet."

"Then why not join me? It'll be fun." He said while putting the cheese and wine on the table and looked for some bowls. "Are there any bowls that aren't cursed here?"

"I don't do curses, I do magic that increases the strength of a person's soul."

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"Let's just say it's a work in progress, so just grab any bowl you see that isn't filled with something."

He nodded while grabbing some empty bowls.

(One setting up later)

"So Arachne, how are your sisters doing? Are they still crybabies?" The reaper said while taking his mask off.

"No, frankly they're taking the more knowledgeable approach then I am." she remarked eating some cheese. "Medusa and Shaula have slowly begun to become cold like our mother, so they might become quite deadly with age."

"And you? Are you deadly as well?"

"In a sense."

"You don't seem deadly to me, but it could just be me being bias to my friend."

'It's like he's never met how deadly a witch c...wait.' "Have you ever actually met a witch that wanted to take your life?"

"Nope, not once." He shrugged. "But I do know that some witches are kind of nice, and I'm looking at one."

She sighed and shook her head. "The day you meet another witch who won't try to kill me let me know, because any other witch would have already ended you and tried to use your soul for an experiment."

"Ha, jokes on them." He laughed. "A reaper's soul can't be taken, it needs to be given on their own free will, and who's that crazy to try stealing a soul like that….wait? Are you trying to make me give you my soul? Because if that's the case, I'm kind of worried you're not going to make me a familiar."

"That would be amusing, but no I'm not asking for that."

He sighed. "Good, because I thought I was going to faint because it had another meaning." He lightly blushed.

"What other meaning?"

"Um….how about no."

She raised an eyebrow. She stood up and walked over to a dish making him tilt his head.

"What are yo-AHHH!" he screamed when she held up a handful of dirt.

"I'm sorry, care to say again?"

"Ahh! Ok ok I'll tell you! Just take that thing away from me!"

"Not before you tell me what the other meaning is."

"It means giving your heart to a loved one, and I'm not ready for that part of life yet!"

"So in a way, it's like courting?"

He nodded while playing with his fingers.

'Hmm, it would make sense, but the idea of a reaper actually having a lover or even wife is ridiculous.' She thought while the reaper looked away.

"So anyway, I was in the east yesterday and I saw this witch with nine tails." He said. "And boy, she was interesting, but I avoided here because she wasn't doing anything besides playing pranks on people."

"That wasn't a witch but a magical fox."

"...oh. So that's why it had a fox face and here I thought all witches there had animal faces."

"Not really, some witches can have no trait or distinction of their animal, but their choice in clothes seems to give you a sign." 'That seems to happen quite often, has it always been that way.'

"Oh." He chuckled. "Thanks for clarifying."

'I wonder if I should try and wear something less arachnid….then again, maybe it would work later down the line.' She thought while the reaper looked at the wine and poured her a glass.

"For you, my best friend." He smiled.

She sighed hearing that, but accepted the glass. "Thanks."

"Anytime." he smiled. 'She's much nicer than the others.'

"But….I don't get you. You're so casual about being my friend, and don't seem like you need to worry around me. Why? I'm older than before and if I wanted to I could trap you without you knowing." she asked.

"Because I see that you're a good person." He smiled. "And I'm a good judge in character, plus if you were planning to trap me, I wouldn't have come you know."

"Oh really?"

"Yep, and if that were to happen I would've been sad, I mean you're like my only mortal friend on earth."

'Well being a reaper doesn't give someone time to make friends even when reaping souls.'

"And maybe more." He muttered under his breath.

"Huh?"

"O-Oh nothing!" He stuttered. "So maybe I can help you out? I'm good with soul stuff and all, but I won't do immortality."

"I'm not going into that field, why?"

"Because reapers can die, we aren't immortals you know." he revealed, surprising her.

"Wait, but how can that be?"

"Well it's long and complicated but in short, we can't have more that one reaper in the world, so once I'm a full fledged reaper...then my father dies and I take the mantel, same with my child and their children. Basically, for us, we never get to see our grandchildren live and grow up."

Arachne blinked at this revelation.

"Kinda makes the rule on us giving our heart to the ones we love pretty ironic." he tried chuckling, even though he sounded down from the reveal.

"Kind of...but that's just...you know."

"I know." He said looking away. "But hey, it's not that bad, it might take centuries or more for me to grow, so that means father might be around for my birthdays."

"That wasn't funny." she replied while crossing her arms.

"Well it help keeps me going." He admitted while not noticing the hand on her sleeve. "But hey, I'm a reaper. I'm death in a sense."

"Just stop, it doesn't help your case." She said as the reaper finally noticed the hand and blushed bright red. She noticed and moved it back while coughing. "Um…"

"Oh um…" he blushed before grabbing the wine and started drinking it and gagged as it went down the other pipe. "Gah! Gah gah gah!"

"I don't think you're much of a drinker are you?"

"Gah..gah how did you know?"

"Just a wild guess." She said while letting out a slight chuckle.

He took a deep breath before noticing and pointed at her. "Hey, you just laughed."

"N-No I didn't!" She blushed.

"Yes you did."

She blushed and looked away. "Just stop you crazy reaper."

"Names Death the second, which is kind of ridiculous." He said before hearing the witch giggle a little. "It's not funny!"

"Then I guess that makes you junior, right?"

"Arachne!"

(Later)

-Year 1590 AD-

In the lonely village, we find Arachne hard at work on a very secret project that was so important that it overshadowed everything else. Everything was ready but she needed one thing, the reaper himself.

She looked at the window while smirking at her plan. 'Just a few more seconds and I'll get you reaper.'

He popped from the other window and blinked seeing the witch holding a box of something in her hands. "Um Arac-"

"AAAAAHHH!" She screamed before tripping over her legs and fell out the window.

SPLAT!

The box landed on her head as small cakes and tarts oozed down her hair.

"Arachne!" He yelled while running to the window. "Are you ok?"

"No." She frowned with annoyance. "I have sweets on my head."

"Um, what are the sweets for?"

"You idiot." She lightly blushed.

"Oh! You got them for me? That's sweet of you."

She blushed. "Well...I did make them for you. Since you always bring stuff to the house and help me out, it's the least I can do for you."

He helped her up while smiling. "Well at any rate I'm very happy. You're a very nice woman Arachne, don't ever change."

She blushed more while feeling her heart rate go faster. 'W-Why does this keep happening? Why can't I stay cold and casual with the way he acts?'

He took the tarts and cakes off and tasted one. "Mmm, tasty." 'She's so nice, but….should I ask her or not? It is a serious commitment.' He sighed before steeling himself. "Arachne, can I have a more serious conversation with you this visit?"

"You serious? Did you hit your head?"

"I didn't." He said while sitting down. "And believe me, I wish I did."

She blinked as this was something she never heard from his mouth before. "Ok?"

He saw her sit down as he cleared his throat. "Arachne, recently I've...had an odd affliction that can't be cured."

"Can you name the symptoms?"

"Dry throat, increased heart rate, sweating, and the strange urge to faint." He listed. "I've tried everything but no one knows what it is."

'Can a reaper even get sick? Cause if that's the case I'm not sure if I can cure it.' "But why me exactly?"

"Because the symptoms started when we met."

"Did you get bitten by any of my spiders?"

"No."

"Was it the meal I cooked for you?"

"Oh no, that dish was good Arachne."

"Then I have no idea."

He sighed. "I do know however what this mortal from Greece told me when I said it. It was...Eros."

She blinked. "Eros?"

He nodded. "Yes, Eros."

'Wait a minute...is he...with me?!'

He pulled out a box and opened it, revealing a bottled soul inside. "This is a part of me, and...I want you to keep it with you always Arachne."

She blushed crimson while feeling her heart stop. "Y...You mean….I'm….and you…."

"Yes, I love you Arachne. I've loved you since we met even though it took this long to realize now." He said while takings off his mask. His face was more mature, but the hair stayed the same which made her blush harder.

"B-But...I'm-"

"A witch I know, but I can't muster up the strength to strike you down when I become a full fledge reaper, and I don't want to."

"But….this...it's not right."

"I know, but even if the world hunts us down, I'll ever stop loving you. That I promise."

She blushed while her eyes started to water. "Y-You….crazy reaper…"

"If I'm so crazy, why are you tearing up?"

"I-I'm not, I just have a piece of dust in my eye." She sniffled as he moved towards her and kissed her cheek.

"You love me as well." He smiled.

She blushed while feeling like steam was coming out of her ears, but some threads did come out of her fingers.

"So, do you think you can accept this?"

Arachne blushed while taking the bottle. "Y-Yes...I-I accept…" She then got kissed on the cheek again.

"Thank you." He smiled before seeing Arachne fall to the ground. "Um Arachne?"

"He he he….." She said while bright red. "So many...hearts…"

'I think I broke her.'

(Later)

-Year 1610 AD-

Arachne hummed to herself while looking like a grown woman with a more revealing black outfit that showed her cleavage underneath some spider web design fishnets, red lipstick, and long sleeves with the bottom portion covering her legs. She smiled while feeling more confident with her body.

As she wasn't looking, a figure walked quietly towards her and jumped on her.

"Hello Arachne!"

Instead of jumping she looked at the larger reaper and smiled. "Hello, I figured now was about the time you'd show up."

"You're no fun." He said with mock sadness. "And here I thought you would make that cute scream."

"Not today." She smiled. "So what brings you here?"

He smiled. "I came to see my cute lover."

"Oh? Lover? Not wife?" she teased. "I would have figured you'd have a whole wedding set up by now, or at least call me honey."

He blushed. "Well, I could have but we don't have the money for one and...wait? How did you know I was planning a wedding next week?" He asked with a mock shocked tone.

"Because you always like to pull something that I wouldn't see coming."

He chuckled. "Well, that's one thing I can't hide from you." He kissed her cheek.

Arachne chuckled at that. "I know honey." she walked over and grabbed a vial. "You know, I'm curious about something."

"What's that?" He asked while a little cautious. 'Please don't let it be the frog potion again.'

"You're scared of dirt, and I never understood why."

"..." he looked away. "It's embarrassing and not something I want to talk about."

She popped open the vial. "If you don't, I could always cover you in a pile of the stuff, or maybe I could go with sand instead?"

He paled. "Ok ok! I'll tell you, just don't laugh."

"I promise."

He sighed. "I was in Transylvania and I thought it was a good idea to scare a ghoul by filling its hole with bear dung. Well let's just say the ghoul found out and pushed me in before burying me right to my head." He blushed red. "I smelled bad for a year and saw worms trying to get in my mouth."

"Gross, I'd just be creeped out by them, but to get scared?"

"But the worst part was when a mudslide occurred that evening." He gulped while shaking. "I thought I was going to die...until I realized I was a reaper but I saw my life flash right before my eyes."

"Well that brings up my next question, why do you always wear the mask? I know you're a reaper, but doesn't it get hot and sweaty under there?"

"It's a tradition." He spoke while looking at the ground. "Since my ancestor's time, we've worn masks. But I don't know why, and no it's actually cool. I made this mask from a special type of bone."

"And that's what exactly?"

"Yeti bone, very resistant to the cold and is always cold to the touch." he gave a thumbs up. "And since we're talking about our own family lives, what's it like growing up as a witch?"

"Hard work." She groaned. "Always looking for new spells, trying to survive witch hunts, and making sure you don't get scared by a reaper." She looked at the window. "But it's peaceful, especially when you're here."

"So just researching? Nothing else?"

"Well that and terrorizing a few villagers when they try to burn me at the stake."

He sweatdropped. 'Of course.'

"But lately there haven't been any witch hunts in this area."

"Oh that, I killed them, after all it was their time." He chuckled nervously. "Just don't tell anyone."

"Oh? Sounds like I've got a guardian angel?" she teased.

"Yeah." He nodded. "A guardian angel." He then got an idea. "And perhaps a very loving cupid?"

She looked confused. "Huh?"

"You know." He said with a husky voice. "A very loving cupid that enjoys our little evening potion making."

"Oh, sounds like someone's getting antsy~" she teased while walking to the other shelf while shaking her hips. "And here I thought reapers could control themselves."

He blushed. "It's complicated."

She shock her ass a little more. "Then simplify it my dear."

He gulped and tugged at his collar. "Well...uh...as they say, a hands on approach is better, right?"

"That's true." She said while turning around. "So in the bedroom or on the table?"

"Let's try….the table."

"Good, and you can tell me how these are coming out." she smirked undoing the top part of her dress.

His eyes widened while the mask dropped and he popped a nosebleed.

Arachne cupped her chest before grabbing his arm. "Come on, reap me and my giant melons~"

'Oh I will, I will!'

(Later)

-Year 1620 AD-

The reaper looked around while carefully entering through the window. 'Ok, just get in and give her a hug before having another session. Just be very quiet.'

Creak.

He stood still while carefully moved his foot down on the wooden floor. 'Please don't let her hear that.'

"Dear?" Arachne spoke from behind him while yawning a little. "Why are you sneaking in here during the witching hour?"

"Uh...well I wanted to give you a surprise and possibly see if you were up for another go."

She sighed. "Well I'm too tired to have sex with you. But a surprise might make up for waking me up."

He gulped a little bit. "Like what kind?"

"Anything." She said while tapping her fingers around her arms.

He sweated before getting an idea. He then turned around and picked her up and started spinning her around the room. "Look! You're flying now!"

"Wah! That's not a surprise!"

"Now up you go!" He said while throwing her into the air and catches her in his hands while doing this for a few minutes.

Arachne screamed while starting to get scared shitless. "Knock it off!"

He stopped before catching her, which made her look like a princess. "Sorry, but at least you're awake now."

She groaned while her eyes couldn't stop spinning. "Not funny."

He chuckled while feeling a little guilty. "Sorry dear, what do I have to do to make it up to you?"

"Mmmm, you stay two nights with me." She smirked. "And feed me breakfast in bed."

"I'm happy to oblige."

"Oh and also." She moved closer to him and whispered. "I want eggs~"

He blinked and went wide eyed. "W-W-What?!"

"It's either that or I'll turn you into a frog and bury you in a pit." She said with a frown.

He gulped at the image and put his hands together. "Then again, kids sound great."

She smiled while giving him a kiss. "Then let's go my dear~"

He gulped before she pulled him to the bed.

(Later)

-Year 1624 AD-

"Ugh…." Arachne groaned while slowly getting out of the bed. "Dear, I think I need to get some carrots."

"I didn't know you were on a vegetable diet." he remarked while stretching out in bed.

"I just feel like it." She groaned. "Especially when I feel….ugh." She groaned while holding her stomach. "Like shit."

"Do you need a doctor?"

"Those quacks? No, especially when they're still using leeches."

"They're learning." He sweatdropped.

She huffed before feeling her stomach gurgle. "Dear, I need food NOW."

"Alright, I'll be right back." He said while getting up and ran out of the room.

Arachne looked at her stomach and groaned. "Having twins is worse than keeping an eye on my sisters."

(A little while later)

"Dear, I think I'm going to die." She groaned while finishing her meal.

"From what exactly?"

"From the babies eating my stomach."

"Oh I'm sure you're alright."

She grabbed him by the cloak. "Look here! I'm serious!" She then sniffled. "I'm sorry dear, I just...can't control myself."

He sweatdropped while knowing how his wife was having a hard time due to her mood swings.

"You did this!" she snapped with a scowl. "You just HAD to be so nice and not despise me, didn't you?! You put them in me!"

"Calm down dear, it's not bad." He said. "Plus you did ask me to have sex with you."

"But you...you made me sick! Now these kids are killing me!" She growled while wrapping him in silk. "What would happen if I make you sick as well!"

"R-Relax, when they come out you'll be a-ok."

Arachne smiled before grabbing his face. "You, me, sex, now!"

"B-But think of the kids!"

"Think about your wife and how she's going to cook you over a cauldron if you don't have. Sex. With. Me. NOW!" She growled while looking very intimidating.

He gulped and started sweating nervously. "Um….bed or table?"

"Floor." She said while tackling him to the ground and started licking her lips.

(One hour later)

"Ah...ah….that was...amazing." She panted while licking her lips. "I….want more."

"Um...I think my body is tire-" He tried to say before getting a dark glare from her. "N-Nevermind." 'My cocks going to fall off!'

(Later)

-Year 1635 AD-

Arachne was in a chair nursing with two bundles in her arms with a smile. She sighed and felt very happy. She then felt the children biting on her nipples and groaned. "Careful my children, mother's nipples aren't food."

The one who bit had black and white hair who giggled while nibbling on it with his brother doing it more gently.

That was when she heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?"

"It's Shaula and Medusa." Called out one voice. "And we're here to check on your progress."

'That was today...fuck! I almost forgot about the project!' she stood up and carried her kids over to a crib before putting them down and covered it with a cloth before muttering to herself as it seemingly disappeared and adopted a cold look before walking over and opening the door. "Come inside."

"Thanks." Shaula smirked while Medusa looked indifferent.

"So how are the results?" Medusa spoke while feeling like something was off.

"Going smoothly. The transition between the souls and the object is a complete success and will be ready for the first real test in just a few months."

"Good, if it all goes well then we'll have a brand new weapon to make use of to show every human the true wrath of witch kind."

"But one question." Medusa asked while seeing a stain on Arachne's dress. "Did you make a mess during the project?"

She looked down and panicked while keeping her expression. "Yes, but since I'm not working on it now I'll go change into a clean one."

Shaula nodded before smelling something. "Um sister dear, is that….ew! Is there a dead animal in here?!"

'Crap! She smelled the diapers!' She thought while Medusa sensed something magical in the house.

'Huh? A soul hiding spell, why is there one in here?'

"It must be one of the ingredients in an old potion I've been working on." Arachne said while her left eye darted a little.

"Oh? What kind of potion?"

"A rabbit spell, for annoying neighbors." She said before Shaula walked towards the spot where the babies were and sat on a chair next to it. 'Damn it! Why can't you just leave!'

"Alright." She said before gagging. "Yuck! It's stinks over here!"

Medusa frowned while looking at the spot. She then walked over there. "You're right, it stinks here, and I don't see any potions."

'Shit!' she walked over. "Look, I'll deal with it and keep you two informed on the project, you two head on home and I'll make sure this place cleans as a flower field."

"But we just got here." Shaula frowned. "And I was going to give you a hug, and Medusa was going to ask for advice on dating."

"Shut up!" She glared.

"Make me." she smirked while Medusa narrowed her eyes.

"Maybe I'll toss you in with the specimens for the project."

Both looked at her with raised eyebrows while the babies started to whimper.

"Awa."

"Awa."

"What was that?" Shaula asked looking around the room.

"It sounded like children." spoke Medusa. She then muttered something as the magic around the babies broke. Her eyes widened in shock. 'What?!'

"What are babies doing with my big sister?!"

"I can explain." spoke Arachne cooly while moving over to them.

"..." Medusa looked a little more closely at the stains and put two and two together. "You gave birth to them didn't you?"

"Yes." She said while making sure her children were safe and sound.

"You had kids and didn't tell us?" frowned Shaula. "With who?"

"I got drunk one night and had a one night stand as the villagers like to put it."

"Oh?" Medusa said with a frown. "I guess I have some business with them tonight."

"Well what use would you have for kids them? It's not like you're going to keep them and raise them are you?" questioned Shaula.

"I am." She said coldly. "Even if they're bastard children, they're mind and show promise in the field of magic. Plus just look at them and say that your hearts aren't melting."

"My heart isn't melting." spoke Medusa without hesitation after looking at them.

"Mine is." Shaula spoke. "But I want to snuff it out with water."

"Well if you two are done you can leave while I finish nursing them." She said while the sisters shrugged and walked away.

"Think she's telling the truth?"

"No idea, but we'll keep a better eye on her from now on."

Arachne sighed while looking at her kids. "Sorry for calling you that you two, but I can't let them know the truth."

They cooed while looking at their mother with cute eyes.

She smiled while picking them up. That's when she thought back to their father and sighed. 'I pray he'll understand when the time comes.'

(Much later)

-Year 1638 AD-

The reaper slowly walked into the house while looking very mad. The reason, he's been hearing rumors about a witch that's been mixing souls together and he thinks it has something to do with his wife. This of course he knew was untrue since she was far different compared to other witches.

He noticed a small light near the bedroom and slowly opened it. "Dear? Are you in here?"

All he got was silence.

"Dear?" He said again while peaking inside, only to see something that shocked him to the core.

A machine that he recognized as Ebons handiwork being attached to a giant scythe and two people, a small child and a witch which he recognized as the witch of the east, a powerful dragon witch from the himalayas. Wires were attached to their arms as Arachne was looking over the bodies.

"Souls are stabilizing as intended, but it needs more power." She muttered. "Once that happens then I can finish this project and tuck my little ones to sleep."

'A-Arachne?'

She looked at the witch and shook her head. "Your sacrifice is needed oh dragon witch, for the safety of all witch kind." She flipped the switch as energy started coating the bodies. 'Forgive me.'

The reaper went wide eyed seeing the bodies twitch which slowly began to move towards the scythe.

The scythe glowed a bright orange as it twitched and started forming a new body that was a mix of the two, but with one arm being the scythe.

Arachne wrote down the results while turning off the machine. "There, the first complete Demon Weapon. A perfect mix of human, witch and weapon that can change between forms."

"Arachne!"

She turned and paled. "D-Dear! Y-You're h-here?!" 'Shit!'

"You're the one taking souls!?" he cried out in shock while looking at the machine. "What in the world have you been doing?!"

She gulped. "I um...was trying to help my people." She looked away. "I mean, my sisters helped me out, so did Ebon once I told him I could help with his research in bringing the dead back to life, and well…." she pointed to the weapon. "That was the result."

He frowned at this. "So you wanted to turn human and witches souls into some kind of...hybrid of this!"

"It's a Demon Weapon." She said. "And it's just like a human, just with the ability to make weapons."

"That's even worse! Think about what will happen if they get out, mass hysteria and unneeded bloodshed!"

"But dear, it was for the good of all witches."

"How is it for their good if you use them to make this?!" he snapped with a scowl behind his mask.

She looked at the witch. "She was evil, and I thought it would help with the transformation process."

"And the child?!"

"..." she looked away. "You wouldn't understand."

"Wouldn't understand? I've known you for years!"

"Well apparently not as much as you think!" she frowned back. "You don't have to worry about fearing for your life, we witches can still die even with magic! Now we've got a new method to show the humans not to try anything with us."

"And what of the ones that aren't harming you? What about them?"

"They'll learn to fear us." She spoke coldly. "After all, that's what witches are to them. Monsters."

He felt his heart clench up hearing this while gripping his hand and let out a deep breath. "I'm sorry you feel that way Arachne….but I can't let you keep this up."

She blinked. "But dear-"

"No Arachne, I'm serious, either you stop this project here and now and I'll forget I saw it, but if you insist on doing this, then I'll have to do something I don't want to."

Arachne looked down before looking up with frozen looking eyes. "I will not, reaper."

That one hit deeper before he frowned and walked towards her. "I'm sorry to hear, witch."

"But before we fight, I want a favor from you."

"What?"

"Take care of the children, they still need a father in their lives." she spoke before she glowed and scattered in a wave of spiders that scurried out of the room.

He shook in rage while slowly gaining a massive clawed hand. "Arachne! You shall not escape from me!"

(Timeskip)

Arachne panted while hiding behind a tree looking injured while the official Lord Death looked around with a more menacing cloak and mask and sharp claws.

"Where are you witch? Come out so I can rip your soul from your body!" He yelled out while looking around and flew towards Arachne's right.

She heard him cut a tree down and started running towards her left into the woods. As she ran, she noticed a small warehouse made of bricks and a slightly opened iron door. She turned towards it and ran inside just as she heard Lord Death yell out in frustration.

Inside was piles of gears and sheets as she looked for a place to hide. In the corner of her eye, she saw a giant golem with Emet on its stomach. She took a moment to catch her breath while sensing Lord Death making his way near her.

'I need...to hide.' She thought before getting a crazy idea. 'This might be risky...but I must do it.'

"Arachne! Come out!" he roared before spotting the warehouse and narrowed his eyes before moving towards it.

Arachne looked around before glowing and scattered her body into million upon millions of little spiders as her soul floated towards the golem and entered it. She held her breath as the reaper entered and looked around the building.

"Damn it Arachne!" He growled while slashing the wall. "You can't hide from me you heartless witch!"

She stayed silent and still while he trashed around the building while looking at the golem briefly before leaving. She sighed before thinking back on that previous comment. 'I'm not heartless….am I?'

(Timeskip)

-Present day-

Arachne looked at her wine glass while seemingly spacing out. She didn't even noticed Mosquito walking in.

"Arachne-sama?"

She turned. "Yes? What is it?"

"I just wanted to report that the troops are ready."

"Right." She said while not really feeling like listening.

He noticed her expression. "Arachne-sama? Are you feeling well?"

"Mosquito, go do something." She said waving her hand. "I don't care what, just leave me be for a while."

"Yes Arachne-sama." He bowed before walking away.

Arachne looked at the wine and felt her soul aching for something. Something she lost a long time ago. "...maybe I should visit him?"

The idea that she never saw her sons before and had hid from Death all this time made her wonder if it was time to at least see what was going on, didn't mean she had to be found by him. But for her, who spent her time reflecting on her actions for the last few centuries, thought it might help ease her heart. She then got up and looked around before chanting something and caused a small box to appear. She opened it and slightly smiled seeing the bottled soul she kept even on her run from her 'dear'.

(Later)

"Glad to hear on your progress Maka and Soul, keep it up." Lord Death flashed a thumbs up to the two kids.

"Um, thanks." Maka sweatdropped while Soul was busy fixing his shirt.

"But I have one problem." Lord Death spoke up. "You seem off lately, did you have a fight or something?"

"Blame bookworm here." spoke Soul. "She thinks we should wear matching uniforms to help us 'stay in synch'."

"Well it would help."

"No, it would make us uncool."

"Calm down you two." Lord Death said. "Look, it's not a matter of clothes but a matter of heart that decides a relationship. So instead of trying to match each other in terms of clothes, just try and accept your differences and similarities."

"Thank you." Soul threw his hands up. "Might wanna take notes Maka."

She huffed hearing that.

"But Maka does have a small point, maybe having some form of clothing might help. Like say a pair of pants or a shirt. That way it's not so blatant and you don't stick out too much."

She smiled while Soul rolled his eyes.

"Until then, keep up the good work."

They nodded while walking away.

As the reaper watched them go, he started recalling the more happier times of his life. Images of Arachne came by making him sigh while taking the mask off with tears running down his cheeks. "Why can't it stop? Why can't I just forget?"

As he cried his heart out, he didn't see a small mass of spiders slowly walking through the crosses. They climbed up to the top and looked down at him while he fell on his knees.

"It's not fair...it's not fair!" he cried out. "Why does it have to hurt so much?"

The spiders kept looking at him while the reaper felt his entire emotions of sadness and pain rush out of his body.

"Why? I loved her yet...she hurt me! Why? Why didn't she just stop? Why? Why why why?!" he muttered while gripping at his chest. 'Why did I have to be born a Reaper?!'

'Dear.' Thought one of the spiders while looking very sad. 'I'm sorry, for everything.'

"I couldn't keep her safe, I couldn't help Asura, now Kidd's all I have left." He said while punching the ground. "Why didn't I just stay away? Why couldn't I stop this? Why?"

'Wait, Asura? Kidd? Are those the names he gave them?' she wondered since at the time she was a little preoccupied to come up with good names, much to her embarrassment. 'Those are...cute names. But what happened to Asura….wait. Mosquito told me about the kishin and….oh god! He's my son!'

Lord Death sniffled and tried wiping at the tears, but they kept coming. "I should have stayed ignorant. Then Arachne would still be with me. With our children….oh why Arachne...why?!"

The spiders looked away while feeling guilty at not telling him beforehand.

"Now I know what Spirit feels all the time." He said while not noticing the spiders were moving towards him. "Maybe I should...move on. But….I just can't, I still love her. Even if she's a witch."

The spiders felt that hit them while slowly forming together just as he put the mask back on.

"Arachne…."

"Yes dear?" Asked a familiar voice from behind him, causing him to jump and fall on his face. 'Looks like I finally scared him.'

He scrambled back up and turned before going wide eyed. "Arachne…"

"It's me." She said while looking away. "And I saw everything."

He looked at her with a mix of happiness and anger. He narrowed his eyes and stood firm. "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see you." She said. "And to….look I understand you're still furious and angry at my actions. But….." she sighed. "I came here for something I should have done ages ago."

"Surrender? If so I have guards for that."

Arachne shook her head before pulling out the bottle that contained the reapers soul. "I want to say….I finally learned I was a fool for not telling you. Or for me to forget my love for you."

"...you still kept it?"

"Yes, even when I was on the run I couldn't throw it away." she looked at it. "It was the most thoughtful gift you ever gave me, I felt empty if I ever thought about messing with it."

"And you came to tell me this?"

She looked at him while one of her eyes started tearing up. "No, I came to tell you I'm sorry, for everything."

He blinked and saw her fall to her knees with tears dripping onto the floor.

"I was young, and stupid." She sniffled. "I thought I was going to help my kind, but instead I became a heartless monster that my sisters became...and I lost you in the process. I-I realized I was a fool...you were right, I'm a heartless witch."

'She….is she telling the truth?' He thought with wide eyes.

"And if you still feel the same...I'll face any punishment you feel suits the crime." She cried. "Beat me, pull my heart out, crush my soul, do anything to me. Just know I've learned that I became the monster that mother wanted...a sick twisted being that no one loves or cares for."

'She is.' He thought before getting a conflicted feeling his his heart. 'But what should I do? She's a criminal but….I can't just hurt her.'

'I'm sorry….I'm so sorry.' she kept thinking. 'I'm sorry for becoming a monster, I'm sorry for leaving my children, I'm so sorry for committing so many atrocities, I deserve to be used to make a death scythe, it's the only way I can actually be of use for what I've done.'

The reaper sighed before saying. "Then I have one punishment."

She shivered while not looking him in the eyes.

"You have to help Kidd get over his OCD, it's kind of hard keeping him under control."

"...HUH?!" she blinked while he nodded.

"At least the first of many I have in mind, but that's something I feel needs attending to."

Arachne looked at him while shocked. "B-But why?"

"Because Kidd needs a mother." He said with a light blush. "And...because I see that you're sorry, something no monster would feel, but a very...sad wife."

She blinked and felt hope rising up. "Y...You're serious?"

He nodded before extending a hand. "I am, and for now I'll give you another chance to show me you're the adorable and cute girl I fell in love with many centuries ago."

She felt herself blush hearing that before letting him pull her up to her feet. She then got a hug from the reaper that made her feel very happy. "Dear….I love you."

"I love you too, my dear."

She sniffled while not noticing that Kidd, Patty and Liz were walking in.

"Patty, from now on, no more chemistry sets for you." remarked Liz.

"But I wanted to blow stuff up."

"You caused a guy to have third degree burns on his butt!"

"It was funny ha ha ha."

'Sometimes I wonder if she's secretly a pyro.'

Patty then noticed the hugging couple and blinked. "Oooh! Kidd, Lord Death is hugging a hoe, that's so funny!"

He blinked and looked very confused. "Father? Why are you hugging this woman?"

"Oh! Hello Kidd, I'm glad you're here, this is someone I want you to meet."

"Hello." Arachne said with a blush. "You've really grown up, but you still are adorable."

"Adorable? Kidd's not adorable, he's a sexy trash can." Patty said with confusion.

"And are these your friends?"

"Yep, we're his weapons." Liz said while noting the woman was looking a little fazed. " Are you ok?"

"Yes, I am especially after meeting my honey again."

"Father, please tell me who she is before I start losing my mind." Kidd frowned.

"Oh right, Kidd, meet Arachne Gorgon Death, your mother."

And cue all three of the kids dropping their jaws while Kidd looking between them and flailing his arms around before falling on his face.

"And she's going to stay a while." He said while Arachne felt a little flustered.

"Dear, you're embarrassing me." She whispered to him.

"Sorry, I kind of was a little happy."

"Do you want me to put dirt in your cloak?"

"AHH!" he screamed while Patty poked at Kidd with Liz wobbling before falling back.

"What babies." Patty said to herself before we see Arachne giggling a little at her husband's antics.

'At least this is a start.'

(Later)

"So….I'm part reaper...and witch." spoke Kidd sitting down and having bags under his eyes from the overload.

"Yep." Lord Death smiled. "And so is Asura."

"..." He looked at Arachne before frowning. "Did she use a spell on you."

"What no, more like I made her fall under my spell." chuckled the reaper.

"He never left me alone." remarked Arachne who cleared her throat. "Speaking of Asura, what happened to him?"

"Well...that's kind of difficult my dear."

"He became the kishin and started eating souls." Kidd said like it was common knowledge.

She went wide eyed while gripping her dress. 'I...I failed him.'

"Now now Arachne, relax." spoke Lord Death. "He IS still alive, I can assure you of that, it's just….well…."

"Tell me and don't leave anything out. I wasn't there for him and if there's a chance he's breathing I need to see him."

He sighed. "Well, this is something Kidd and others would have found out eventually. The truth is I had to seal him away under the school, and….I used his own skin."

She blinked before gaining a cold expression and grabbed the reaper by the cloak. "You. Did. WHAT?!"

"I had no choice! He was too strong and I knew I couldn't end up reaping him!" he spoke up quickly.

She let go before gaining an aura of depression. "Oh….so my child is...now a bag…..he he…"

'Is she really a witch?' Kidd thought with a sweatdrop.

"Now now dear, it'll be alright." spoke Lord Death trying to pat her back.

She still looked depressed while feeling like a worm. "How...my sons a bag…?"

"Technically he's inside it, not the actual bag."

"But...he has no skin...and now I can't hug him…"

"Maybe you can hug him through it." he sweatdropped.

She groaned before looking at Kidd and hugged him. "It's not the same!"

"Hey! Get off!"

"But I need some love." She sniffled while the reaper just sweatdropped.

Kidd however tried to move away, but the feeling seemed to make him calm down since it felt familiar and soothing while she rubbed his head. 'What's going….on….?'

That was when Patty walked over and poked Arachne on the side. "Boop, boop."

"What are you doing?"

"Oh I just wanted to see if this dress was soft." She said like it was obvious. "And it's really soft." She then grabbed her breasts. "Huh? They're kind of like mine."

"Patty!" Liz blushed. "Get off her breasts!"

"But sis, they're so big, like melons!"

And cue spiders crawling up her pants.

"AHHH!" she screamed jumping up while scratching at them while Lord Death sweatdropped.

"Forgive Patty, she's rather...blunt and forward."

Arachne glared at Patty before looking at Liz. "What is your current relationship with my son? Besides being a Demon Weapon."

"Huh?"

"Like did he give you his soul willingly yet?"

"Uh...no." she replied lost.

"I see, for reapers giving one's soul to a loved one is basicly courting, right dear?" She looked at Lord Death with a smile.

"Oh right, and it's also a sign of one's love." He smiled while Liz slowly turned red.

"W-W-We're just partners!"

"Shame, I was hoping my son had someone in mind." she remarked while Kidd blushed and jumped back.

"I-I'm not interested in finding a relationship yet!"

"Neither was I when I was your age, but look at me, the wife of a reaper." Arachne said before kissing said reaper on the cheek.

"Oh!" Patty said while shaking the last of the spiders out. "But Kidd and sis are going out, I saw them alone one time and-"

"PATTY!" Both yelled out.

"What? I was going to say you were kissing."

"Why Kidd! I had no idea." smiled Lord Death while Kidd looked to the side.

"It's...not what it looked like."

"Then what was it?" Asked Arachne while looking sternly at the two of them.

"J-Just CPR!" spoke Liz. "We saw it on tv and he asked me to practice."

"I didn't ask you started it!" he spoke up in defence. "You even wore shorts and a tank top, which was messy and uneven by the way!"

"You didn't have a problem taking it o-" she stopped and blushed crimson red before he covered his mouth.

"Taking. Off. What?" The witch spoke with a dark aura around her.

"Their clothes." Patty giggled. "And boy it was loud."

Both paled as Arachne looked ready to blow.

"You both were going to cross that line, and not even bother with marriage? Sounds like I'll have to fix that." she spoke pulling her fan out. "I never got a chance to spank you before, so I'll have to fix that."

"Wait, but I'm not your kid!" Liz yelled.

"Not yet, and after this I expect you to take responsibility, my dear daughter." She said while Lord Death felt a little nervous. "Now then, both of you drop your pants and bend over."

"Father say something!"

"Well...she does raise a point."

"Father!"

"I mean I didn't have sex until after the proposal, so this is kind of a life lesson in a way."

"I didn't need to hear that!" he cried out before he and Liz suddenly found themselves wrapped up threads coming from the spiders on the ground.

Arachne smirked darkly as the spiders left the children's pants undone. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, much."

Patty blinked while chuckling a little bit.

"Stop laughing and do something!"

"Nope~" She said with a smile. "This might be a fun game to watch."

"It's not a-"

SMACK!

"AH!"

"One down, a million smacks to go."

"A MILLION?!"

"Each." She said before smacking again.

"AH!"

"AH!"

"Yay!"

'Oh dear.' Lord Death covered his mask. 'Well, at least I can't say Kidd never got disciplined.'

(Omake)

"Dear, are you sure I have to wear this?" asked Arachne who blushed while in a french maid's outfit.

"Of course, it's on the list of punishments I set up. And remember to use the voice while dusting."

She sighed. "Yes master~" she said in a cute girly tone.

"Wrong voice." He sweatdropped.

"Yes master." she spoke in a more seductive womanly tone.

"That's the one." He said with a thumbs up.

Arachne groaned while going to her dusting, but didn't realize that the reaper was looking at her skirt.

"And remember to dust every spot."

"Yes master." She said while feeling very flustered. 'I'll get him later.'

'Such a small thong.' he thought with a blush seen through the mask.

(A little later)

"Finished master." She said while looking like she bathed in the dust instead of cleaning it. "It's all clean."

He looked her over and had to keep from chuckling. "Are you sure?"

She nodded while sneezing a little. "I'm, achoo! I'm sure."

"Well, go prepare a bath."

She nodded before walking off, but didn't see the reaper grinning behind his mask.

'He he he.'

(Later)

We find Arachne washing her body with soap while annoyed she had to wear a maids outfit of all things. 'Damn it. Why did he have to...ugh.'

As this was occurring, a figure walked into the bathroom and carefully kept quiet.

"He's so annoying." She said before noticing that someone was behind her. She turned and jumped seeing Lord Death without his mask smirking.

"Care for a hand dear?"

She blushed. "I...sure."

He smiled while grabbing the soap. "Well, doesn't this bring back memories? You, me, and the soap near your ass?"

"Oh shut up, that one time you wouldn't stop pestering me to help."

"Well it was fun." He chuckled before moving closer to her. "But it was also the time when we first learned your ass was sensitive."

She blushed while he got a perverted smirk.

"Care to see if it still is?"

"...only if you keep it quiet, we can't have Kidd getting a nosebleed if he hears us."

"I'm always quiet." He smirked before putting the soap between her ass cheeks.

"Oh~" she moaned before getting her ass groped.

(Omake 2)

"Ah, it feels good to get outside." sighed Asura cracking his neck while the city was in panic since he just got free and saw Lord Death hover up in front of him with a frown.

"Asura, I'm not gonna beat around the bush, stop what you're about to do or else."

"Or else what? You're going to rip my skin off again?"

"No, something far worse."

"Apparently you've never had your skin ripped off. Now stand aside father or I'll bring your long lifespan down to nothing."

"I will not." He said before pointing behind Asura. "But your mother will be pissed if you attack me, isn't that right dear?"

"That's right." spoke Arachne on a rooftop while Asura turned. "Hello Asura, it's been quite a while."

"And you are?"

"Arachne Gorgon Death, your mother." She spoke. "And I've heard everything about you, and I've very disappointed in you son."

"Oh?" he moved using the long strands of his skin while his face was revealed. "My mother are you?"

She nodded before using some threads to move closer to him.

SLAP!

He reeled back and looked at her without flinching. "You're strong and gutsy."

"Runs in the family, boob lover." She said while telling Asura's nickname to the world. "Especially after I had to keep you from sucking my breasts off as a baby."

He blinked and frowned before lashing one of his arms out at her, but felt it get stopped and saw several strands of thread gripping it.

"Were you just about to slap your mother? Seems I'll have to punish you for that." She said before more threads started to cover the kishin up like a insect in a web.

"Let go!" He growled before seeing her smirk darkly and he started to feel fear inside him again.

"I'm still mad at your father for what he did, but sometimes a child needs tough love in order to grow." She said before taking out her fan and spoke a incantation which made it grow a little and glow with a purple aura. "Now relax and take your punishment like a good little boy."

"Wait, what are you-"

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

"Don't worry, you only have a few billion smack do go my son!"

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

"OW!"

Arachne smirked while Lord Death sweatdropped at her actions.

'Well I can't say it wasn't his own fault.' He thought before seeing her wink at him. 'Crap!'

'I still need to give him his own punishment, a witch can only feel guilty for so long.' She thought while smacking her son's face.

"Ow! Damn it you crazy bit-"

SMACK!

"GAH! Fuck yo-"

SMACK!

"GAH!"

(Some time later)

"Now, what do you say Asura?" Arachne said while looking very serious.

"Ugh…."

SMACK!

"Gah!"

"What do you say to me Asura? And I'll keep slapping you until I hear your response."

He glared at her before muttering something.

SMACK!

"Gah!"

"Talk. Right. Now!"

"Sorry."

"And?" She said while getting ready to strike again.

"And I'm sorry for calling you names."

"And?"

"I'm sorry for eating people and trying to kill father."

"And?"

"What else is there?!"

"How about the issue of trying to slap me!"

"Sorry for that too." he grumbled.

Arachne rested her fan on her hip and nodded. "Good, now I'm going to give you something you never had before and I don't want you screaming like a baby when I do it ok?"

He grumbled. "Fine." He then got kissed on the cheek. "Huh?"

"There, one kiss from your loving mother." She smiled happily. "Oh and I love you Asura."

He blinked before starting to shake in fear. "W-What?"

"I love you and Kidd, even when I was being hunted by your father, I never stopped thinking of you. And while I'm still sad that you became a kishin, I still think it was the right choice to leave you with your father, but now I'm here and I'll make sure you have lots of motherly love."

He blinked while close to screaming. "S-Shut up!"

She gave his head a hug while Lord Death floated back down. "Don't worry, you'll understand when we bring you home."

"Um dear, I don't think that's a goo-"

She turned to the reaper and glared at him. "We're. Bringing. Him. Home."

He paled and felt like he was shrinking. "I-I'll make the guest room."

"Thank you honey." She smiled happily. "Hear that Asura? Mother's bring you home."

'If father managed to put up with her for so long then she might be worse than him.' He thought while screaming in his mind, all the while Arachne was hugging him tightly.

'It feels good to be back.' The witch thought with a smile.
