'I-Am-Ivan-Braginsky' and 'A random fanfiction writer' have both requested chapters where Black-Star or Kid get hurt during a mission/battle and I decided to mix both of their requests together.

70) Shot Down

Death the Kid walked down the long path, Soul, Maka, Tsubaki, Black-Star and his weapons walked several feet behind. Kid took in deep breaths every now and then, trying to control his anger. He has been receiving anonymous notes calling him horrible names and not showing any of the respect that he had earned through many years of hard and intense work.

"Hey Kiddo, Kiddo." Black-Star sang as he caught up to the shinigami.

"What?" Kid said, deeply annoyed.

"Geez, who pissed in your cereal?" Black-Star chuckled.

"Not now Black-Star." Kid said.

"Aw come on Kiddo, what's wrong?" Black-Star wrapped an arm around Kid's shoulder.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired." Kid said.

"Did I keep you up too late?" Black-Star nuzzled his face into Kid's neck.

"No." Kid pushed Black-Star away. "I fell asleep an hour into our conversation."

"But I was talking for three."

"Exactly." Kid patted Black-Star's cheek.

"How much farther?" Patty whined. "My feet hurt."

"It shouldn't be much farther." Maka said. I can actually see a few souls in the distance."

"Are there snacks?" Patty asked. "I want a snack."

"I'll get you something, don't worry." Liz patted her sister's back, ready to be done with this mission as well.

"Hey Kid, when you and Black-Star are done eating each others faces, you come back here and tell us what we're supposed to be doing." Soul called out to the two boys ahead of them.

"We are not-" Kid stopped his protest, knowing that there was no point. He grabbed Black-Star's arm and forced the star to wait until the others caught up before letting go and continue walking. "It's a simple rescue mission. A new DWMA student got himself stuck in a town and he hasn't come back in three days." Kid explained. "We just have to find him and bring him back to Death City."

"Sounds easy enough." Tsubaki said. "I might not even have to go into weapon form." She chuckled softly.

"I smell food!" Patty exclaimed and ran off.

"Patty, wait!" Liz ran after her younger sister.

"There goes my weapons." Kid sighed.

"Patty, don't!" Maka screamed as Patty reached an ice-cream truck.

"Holy shi-" Black-Star's curse was interrupted by the truck suddenly transforming into a large monster.

"Liz, Patty!" Kid shouted.

"Coming!" Liz and Patty both transformed and landed in Kid's hands. Soul and Tsubaki transformed as well and the group stared up at the monster. Black-Star yelled as he ran towards the monster and jumped up on one of it's arms.

"Idiot." Kid scoffed and fired off several rounds at the monster's stomach. Maka ran around to the back of the monster and stabbed Soul into it. The monster didn't feel the scythe and was too focused to trying to swat Black-Star away like an annoying fly.

"Yahoo!" Black-Star cheered and threw Tsubaki at the monster's face. The monster slapped the weapon away, making her fly several yards away. "Tsubaki!" Black-Star soon forgot about his weapon and ran to avoid getting slapped as well. "Missed me you nasty little-" Black-Star's taunt became a yell when the monster grabbed him and threw him into the ground. The monster jerked his hand forward, spiked poking out of his fingers and aimed to stab Black-Star.

"Black-Star!" Kid ran over to the boy and pushed him out of the way, taking the spikes through his sides.

"No! Kid!" Maka quickly jumped up the monster's back and slashed it's head off with Soul.

"Kiddo? Kiddo!" Black-Star crawled over to Kid, a cut on his forehead dripping blood into his eye. "Kiddo, are you okay?" Kid didn't answer.

"We need to take him back, now!" Soul said.

"What about the mission?" Maka asked.

"You guys take care of it, we'll handle Kid." Tsubaki said. "And hurry." Liz and Patty lifted their unconscious meister off the ground while Tsubaki helped Black-Star to his feet and had the star lean against her as he limped towards home.

"We end up in this room way too often." Black-Star chuckled to himself, playing with the bandage on his head. He looked over at Kid and sighed, the shinigami still hadn't woken up yet.

"He'll be fine, he just needs some sleep." Nygus said, patting the star on the back.

"Am I still allowed to worry?" Black-Star asked with a small smile.

"Of course, just don't hurt yourself even more by doing it." Nygus rubbed Black-Star's hair.

"Did Soul and Maka come back yet?"

"Yes and they found the missing student. Poor boy just got lost and had no way to contact us." Nygus chuckled before leaving the room.

"All that trouble for one lost dude." Black-Star muttered to himself.

"He's not just some 'dude'." Kid scoffed hoarsely.

"Kiddo!" Black-Star jumped up and wrapped his arms around Kid.

"Ow." Kid grunted.

"Sorry." Black-Star released Kid and sat back down in his chair.

"I'm still a little sore from healing." Kid said.

"You shouldn't have had to do that for me." Black-Star played with Kid's hand. "I should've been able to handle myself."

"Accidents happen." Kid said.

"Getting you stabbed doesn't really count as an 'accident'." Black-Star muttered.

"You didn't do it on purpose, that's the definition of an accident." Kid took his hand away and sat up. "I thought you knew that." Kid grabbed Black-Star's chin and had him look down. "How's your head?"

"I'm told it's pretty good." Black-Star chuckled.

"Not that you pervert." Kid huffed. "You're bandage is still getting wet with blood." Kid tilted Black-Star's head back up. "Looks like I'm taking care of you for a while. We can skip school tomorrow to handle your head." Kid gave Black-Star a quick kiss on the lips. "And yes, I mean both of them." Kid winked.

I just had to throw Pervy Kid in there.
