Authors Note: So as the title implies, this is an intermission. It might not help with the progression of the story… like at all. On the upside, this is some of the hilarious, but useless stuff that happens in between all the important things. You may skip this chapter if you want to. I'm posting this at the same time as chapter 8. By the way I have no idea how a court works. Enjoy!
"Amane hold still!" Kid shouts as he prevented her from running away.
"I don't want to though! I'm scared!" Amane shouted back as she continued to try and escape.
"It's not going to be that bad! It won't hurt a bit." Kid said trying to persuade her.
"Yes it will!" Amane protested.
Amane then yelped and glared at Kid, "Liar! It does hurt! When will this torture end? Get it out! Get it out! Get it out!"
"It's out now. Everything's fine." he said.
"I'm bleeding! I don't like this!" she shouted as she got out of his grasp.
"I guess this is your first time." he sighed.
Liz poked her head through the door to the nurse's office, "Is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine." he replied.
"Liar, I'm bleeding!" Amane shouted.
Patty poked her head through the door, her head appearing under her sister's, "Getting your shot isn't that bad."
Amane pouted as she held a small piece of gauze to her arm, "Yes it is."
Stein had been walking down the hallway and was passing the nurses office. After hearing the loud conversation between Kid and Amane, he decided that he didn't want to know what was going on. He had been heading towards the Death Room and decided that Kid and Amane's conversation would be something interesting to talk about with Lord Death. Eventually he made it to the Death Room. Lord Death greeted Stein in his usual goofy voice. After discussing with Lord Death, the conversation he heard earlier, Lord Death decided to do some investigating.
Later that day, Maka, Black Star, Kid, Amane, and their weapons were called down to the Death Room. For some reason the Death Room was styled like a court. Lord Death was sitting in the judge's chair and instead of having a gavel and sound block, he just had a book. Stein and Spirit were standing at different tables. There were many people filling the seats in the court and there were a few teachers and students in the jury box.
"What's going on here?" Kid asked curiously.
"Just a little fun." Lord Death replied. "Stein is the prosecutor and Spirit is the defense attorney."
"Who is Stein prosecuting against?" Maka asked.
"I'm prosecuting against Kid." Stein replied.
"What?" Kid nearly shouted. "What did I do?"
"Court is now in session!" Lord Death shouted as he banged one of his abnormally large hands onto his desk.
Kid took a seat next to Spirit and Stein sat down with Sid. The rest of the group sat down in the crowd. Stein had a bunch of papers and was organizing them while Spirit was going through his briefcase which was filled with pictures of Maka. Maka noticed this and sighed in annoyance. Spirit then stood up, his hands in his pockets.
"I'd like to call Liz to the stand." Stein said.
"Permission granted." Lord Death replied.
Liz then stood up and walked in to the witness stand. She looked around, feeling rather awkward, as she waited to see what would happen next.
"Miss Liz, where were you earlier today between the hours of four and five?" Stein questioned.
"Uhm... I was at home for a bit then I came to school to get Kid. It was his turn to cook dinner." Liz answered.
"Did you by any chance stop by the nurse's office?" Stein asked.
"Only for about a minute. That's where Kid was." Liz said.
"No further questions." Stein said as he sat back down.
Spirit stood up and fixed his tie and cleared his voice, "I would like to call Amane to the stand."
Amane looked around at her friends with a confused look on her face. The twins took her arms and shoved her out of her chair. She looked back at the twins yelling at them quietly, asking them what to do. The twins started yelling back quietly and they began to argue. Eventually, after getting annoyed with their whisper argument, the twins pushed her up to the stand.
"Amane, where were you earlier today?" Spirit asked.
"I went to a lot of places. I had to go to the store, and then I went to the park then… wait. What is all this even about?" Amane asked with a confused look on her face.
"I'll be the one asking the questions here!" Spirit replied. "Were you also at the nurse's office today?"
"Yes, but I didn't want to be there." Amane muttered.
Spirit nodded a few times and walked around as he thought for a bit, while Stein twisted the screw in his head. Spirit looked at Amane and then continued. "Why is it that you didn't want to be there?"
"It's none of your business." Amane replied defensively.
"Were you the one who murdered Miss Candlestick!" Spirit shouted pointing a finger at Amane who just stared at him, obviously confused.
"I object!" Stein shouted.
"Objection overruled." Lord Death said.
"But Lord Death..." Stein argued.
Lord Death glared at Stein and threw his book at Steins head.
Kid stood up slamming his hands on the table, "Father I demand to know what all of this is about?"
"Was it the butler!" Spirit questioned.
"What butler?" Amane shouted.
Spirit turned around and looked at the gallery and all the people there his hand on his chin, "So it was Soul!" he shouted, pointing an accusing finger at the white haired boy.
Soul jumped back in surprise and looked around, seeing many people glaring at him, "What!"
"I object!" Maka shouted, standing up.
"You can't object!" Sid shouted, also standing up.
"Kid what were you doing to Amane in the nurse's office!" Stein questioned as he pointed at him.
"The nurse needed help! Amane was getting a flu shot!" Kid argued.
"Oh…" all the teachers, and Lord Death, said in unison.
"What do you think happened?" Amane asked.
The twins ran up to Amane and covered her ears. Some of the people in the gallery and jury box covered the ears of their friends or students. Lord Death then explained to his son what he and Stein thought had happened. Kid's eyes grew wide and he passed out. The twins uncovered Amane's ears and she looked around, then at Kid.
"What's wrong with Kid?" Amane asked. The twins looked at each other and shrugged, deciding not to tell her.
The whole court was filled with gossip about what just happened. Lord Death looked around and nodded, deciding there was no need for any of this anymore.
"Court adjourned." Lord Death shouted, slamming one of his hands on his desk.
