Chapter 9
Kid Panics
Zero and Two smirked,sitting on the kitchen counter as Kid peeked out the kitchen.
"Kid-"
"Sssshhhh." Kid said,getting his head out from eavesdropping. "I want to know what they're talking about."
"Make-up." Two and Zero said in union.
Kid gave them a confused look.
"They're talking about make-up." Two hopped off the counter and went into the fridge.
"How do you know?" Kid asked,peaking out into the living room again.
Two came out with a tub of cookie dough ice cream. "Knowing Liz,that's what she'd talk about." She pulled out 2 big spoons and gave 1 to Zero. They opened the tub and started to dig in.
Kid poked his head out again.
"Kid,aren't you supposed to be popping the popcorn?" Zero asked after he swallowed a spoonful of ice cream.
Kid sighed and came back in. "You're right."
"Good. 'Cause-"
"Pop some popcorn for us Zero." Kid poked his head back out.
"Eh?"
Two laughed. "You heard the man! Pop some popcorn!"
"Oh,and could you make some cotton candy Two?" Kid asked.
"WHAT?"
"Thanks."
Two gritted her teeth. She turned Kid around so they were facing eachother and grabbed the collar of his shirt. Their noses were touching. "Look." She hissed. "Even if I'm here,at my hometown with you,I don't take orders from you."
Kid looked behind him. "Someone's coming."
"WHY YOU-" Two started with a fist raised. Zero yanked Two back by the wrist,Kid fell to the ground,the kitchen door opened.
"Why are you on the ground,Kiddo~?"
"Patty?" Kid asked,getting up. "What do you want?"
"Liz is hungry. Hana too. Are you done with the popcorn? It's been an hour."
Zero chuckled. "He was a little busy to make popcorn."
Two rolled her eyes. "We'll make it. But you and Liz have to go to your rooms. It's Hana and Kid's date."
Patty nodded. "Okay~! But don't eat all the sweets~! Save some for me~!" With that,she left.
"'Kay,'kay!" Two called. She put the popcorn into the popcorn making machine,made the cotton candy,and filled the 2 cups with orange juice.
"Kid. You should go into the living room." Zero said. He looked at Two and winked.
Kid gritted his teeth. "Not with you alone with her."
Zero hugged Two from behind. "Hmm... But I'm always alone with her." He said with a smile.
Two rolled her eyes.
Kid was close to his breaking point. "You should let her go now. If you want to continue living."
"You should do as he says." Two said. "I have to take the popcorn out and put the cotton candy in a cone."
Zero sighed,releasing Two. "Okay. But,if you don't go to Hana now..." He winked at Kid. "I might steal the girl with my charms."
Kid and Two rolled their eyes and sighed simultaneously.
Zero looked at both of them. "What?"
"You are way too conceited." Two shook her head.
"I wonder which idiotic girls have fallen for you..." Kid muttered.
Zero glared at both of them.
"It's done,now go!" Two put everything she prepared into Kid's hands and pushed him into the living room.
Kid had fear written in his eyes. Hana was-
"Alone?" Kid wondered out loud.
Hana looked back and smiled. "Oh,great! You brought the food." She came over and helped Kid put down the food.
"Where's Liz?"
"She left." Hana took a sip of her orange juice.
"When?" Kid asked as he sat next to Hana.
Hana shrugged. "Awhile ago. Why are asking so much questions about her? Do you like her now?"
Kid's eyes widened. "Of course not! I was just wondering because you and her seem so close and I wanted to make sure you and my weapons become good friends." He said in a rush.
Hana giggled. "I was kidding." She patted Kid on the head. "You're the same as ever,you know?"
Kid blushed a little. "Well,around you I can be..."
"LAME!" A voice from the kitchen yelled out. A crashing sound emitted afterward and a loud, "OW!"
"SHUT UP WILL YA? THEY'RE ON A DATE!" Two's head popped out of the kitchen door and she smiled. "Sorry about that. Just continue,I know how to shut him up." She slipped back in and the crashing sounds continued.
"Well,your sister hasn't changed either." Hana laughed.
Kid smiled. "Yeah. The only thing that has is her hair color."
Hana nodded. "I noticed that too. I was about to ask her,until she and Zero dragged me to the Death Room."
"Sorry about that. It's just been awhile since I've seen you,I bet they know that."
Hana smiled with a blush. "We can make up the time..."
Their lips inched closer to eachother.
'Should I do this? What about Liz? Wait! Why am I thinking about Liz? I like Hana!' Kid thought.
"AAHHH!" A scream emitted from the kitchen,making Hana and Kid jump away from eachother.
"What was that?" Hana asked,standing up.
"Probably just Zero,maybe Two caught him." Kid glared at the kitchen door. He was so close for his father's sake!
Hana shook her head. "That person sounded scared and like a girl."
"Sounds like Zero against Two to me."
"Kid!" Hana snapped.
Kid sighed. "Look. It's-"
Then another scream emitted,a little more panicked.
Kid and Hana looked at each other,then bolted to the kitchen.
"Get off of me!" Two screamed.
A shadow-like creature held her arms behind her back. No real feature on it except a mouth and nose. And it seemed like it was smiling.
Another was smiling too and holding her legs,helping the other carry her out the back.
Zero was fighting 6 others at the other side of the kitchen.
"Two!" He yelled.
"Zero! Get over here! I don't know where they're taking me!" Two yelled back. She struggled with snatching her limbs back.
Kid frowned. "You help Zero." He told Hana.
"Got you." Hana ran over to Zero.
Kid ran over to his little sister. "Damnit! Who are you people?"
The creatures giggled. "We aren't people." Their voices were synchronized and had a some-what electronic tune to them.
"Then what in Death are you?" Kid distracted them.
"Shadows." They turned to continue the escape when Kid shot one of them to dust.
Two's feet hit the ground and that's all she needed to make the other let go. She tripped the other and pinned it to the ground while Kid shot it to dust like the other.
Zero and Hana ran over to Two.
"You okay?" Zero asked checking Two for any injuries.
Liz and Patty turned back into their weapon forms and with Kid,walked over to Two.
Two wrinkled her nose. "I think I need to get this looked at..." She held out her wrists.
All of their eyes widened and Two had her eyes half-lidded,as if trying to keep herself awake.
It was as if the shadow's touch burnt her. She seemed to have a 3rd degree burn around her wrists and most likely around her ankles too.
Kid gritted his teeth. "Damn Shadows..." He muttered.
V_(-.-)_V
"Ouch! Don't do that!"
"I wouldn't if you stop moving!"
Two pouted at Hana,Hana sighed and continued with rubbing Two's burnt right wrist with some rare medicine.
"So,what exactly are these 'Shadows' again?" Liz asked.
Kid cleared his throat like a professor ready to teach his class. "They are creatures built to kill,destroy,or capture."
"Like kishins." Liz said.
Kid nodded. "Only difference is their main purpose is to serve. They are created and have a particular creator. They are loyal to their creators or 'masters' no matter what."
"Just like I'm loyal to my miester." Zero said,his eyes watching his miester and Hana. "They function like my body functions. Loyalty is their priority." Then Zero leaned back in his chair with closed eyes and a small smile. "And that's not because they'll die if they don't like I do."
Patty burst into a giggling fit and Liz sighed. "So,what do you think they were sent to do with Two?" Liz said,ignoring her sister.
"They probably wanted Two as a ransom to bring father to them." Kid said.
Zero sat up with wide eyes. "Or..."
Kid's eyes widened too and Hana stopped working on Two.
Two closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip.
Kid stood up. "I'm calling my father,Zero-"
"On it." Zero stood up and walked toward the entrance.
Kid walked away,up into his room.
Patty stopped laughing and looked at all of them in confusion along with Liz.
"What's going on?" Liz asked.
"Did you see him?" Hana asked Two,still not continuing to heal her.
"No. I'm positive that I haven't seen him since. I promise." Two said coldly. "And I hope I never do."
Zero came back and sat next to Two. "We can't go back." He told her.
"I know."
"Seems we're staying here tonight then." Zero said.
Kid walked in with a serious face. "He'll be here soon,along with professor Stein. For now,we stay in the living room together."
"What if we have to go to the potty~?" Patty asked.
Two stifled a laugh,despite the current situation.
Kid sighed. "I guess you'll have to hold it 'till they get here."
"Hey,what's going on? Why can't Zero and Two get out of here? And why the hell do we need Stein to come here?" Liz asked.
Kid started. "Someone has been after Two for awhile now-"
"And it's not because he wants a little talk with Lord Death." Hana cut in.
"He's not very welcome in this household any more." Zero said.
"I still can't believe he was." Two said.
"It seems he has come back." Kid said.
"Who is he~?" Patty asked innocently.
Everyone other than the Thompson sisters tensed.
Two stood up abruptly. "I'm going to the kitchen if anyone needs me." She walked quickly.
"NO!" Zero,Hana,and Kid yelled. Two stopped just before the kitchen door.
"What? You expect not to tell them? They're your weapons Kid." Two said firmly. "You can't hide anything from them. That's not a healthy relationship."
Kid clenched his fists. "No. I meant,you can't go alone." He turned to Hana and Zero. "Hana,Zero. Go with her."
They both nodded. Hana took the medical supplies with her as she followed Two into the kitchen,closely followed by Zero.
Kid turned to his weapons. "She's not comfortable talking about this situation."
Liz snorted. "I can see that Kid. Just skip the reason later." She waved it away. "Why can't Zero and Two get out of here?"
"You see,what I didn't explain to you was the security of our home. The house is protected by a certain shield. It's not visible. No one gets in,no one can go out." Kid explained.
"But,why haven't we known this?" Liz asked.
"There was no situation like this. There is a switch here that only some people know of." Kid said.
"By some,you mean people you're related to?"
"Hana,Zero,and Stein aren't related to me." Kid told her.
"Yeah,yeah." Liz rolled her eyes. "Now,why is Stein coming?" Liz asked.
Kid shrugged. "He knows of our situation."
Liz sighed. "What's the big deal? It was just a bunch of Shadows."
"That were trying to get Two,big sis." Patty said,concerned.
"Patty-" Liz started.
"She didn't do anything wrong. And if you were getting caught by Shadows,I'd be freaking too." Patty said. Then she turned to Kid. "Kiddo~? Is Two okay~? Why is she so grumpy~?"
Kid sighed as he sat across from Liz and Patty. "That's a long story. It all started-"
"We're here." Stein said,rolling into the living room.
"Where's Two?" Lord Death asked.
They pointed to the kitchen. Stein sighed as he rolled into there. 2 seconds after he got in,he came out with Zero,Hana,and Two on his trail.
"Two,are you okay?" Lord Death asked,walking (or floating or whatever) to his daughter.
Two nodded. "I'm fine dad."
"Are you sure? Because in case you haven't noticed,we aren't blind Two." Stein said,eyes flashing toward her wrist.
Two automatically hid her hands behind her back.
Lord Death frowned with sad eyes.
After what seemed like forever,Two sighed and held up her wrists. "Fine. I'm hurt! Okay!"
Stein rolled over to her. "I need to do an analysis." He pulled out a needle and gave Two a shot.
Two sucked in air through her teeth. The needle was long and that meant more pain.
"I'm just checking if your body is working as it should be." Stein said,pulling the needle out and flicking the glass filled with blood before putting the blood sample into a machine next to him.
Liz raised a hand.
"Yes,Liz?" Lord Death asked.
"How the hell did he bring all this equipment here?"
Everyone looked around the living room that was now filled with science machinery. (A/N: Sorry. I'm too tired to describe things right now.)
"It was either this or to cut Two open in her own living room. Lord Death refused at that." Stein said.
Two furrowed her eyebrows as she read the machine that was analyzing her blood. "I'd be okay,either way."
"Well I wouldn't!" Zero and Kid shouted.
Two raised an eyebrow. "Are you the one he's cutting?"
Zero shook his head. "You know what I mean!"
Kid gave Zero a glare and sighed once he looked at Two. "You know I don't approve of Stein's dissections. Never have,never will."
Two rolled her eyes and looked at Stein. "So,what's the analysis Stein?"
Stein scanned the screen and nodded. "Nothing bad like black blood... But if you feel slightly light-headed or have nightmares,tell me immediately."
Two sighed and leaned back into her chair. "Okay. So,can I go home now?"
"No." Stein said immediately.
"Why?" Two whined.
"You have to stay at a protected area. Your father's mansion is the safest place for you at the moment."
Two frowned. "My apartment-"
"Is filled with those things you just encountered." Stein cut off.
"WHAT!" Two jumped up. "They better not be touching my stuff! I'll kill them AND him!"
"Two." Stein sighed. "Just stay here."
Two collapsed back onto the chair with her arms crossed. She blew her bangs out of her face. "Fine." Then Two smirked. "But only if Hana stays here."
Liz's eyes widened. "Wait-"
"Done." Stein and Lord Death said in union.
"Done?" Hana asked.
"You are a close friend of Kid's. So you are welcome to stay at anytime." Stein said.
"Okay. But I have to call my parents." She got up and went into the kitchen.
'Two.'
'What now Zero?'
'Is it time?'
Two smirked. 'Yup.'
Zero sighed.
'It's time to play love doctor.'
Sneaky little Shinigami and her weapon. I wonder what's gonna happen next!
No really,I have no idea what to write. Oh,well.
