AN: hey guy~! I'm sorry I ended it like that, I couldn't think of anything else, but hey, less spelling mistakes so there's a plus. But yeah, last chapter was mainly getting (mostly) everyone's P.O.V. across. But this one will be a bit longer, K!
A sound soul
Dwells with a soul mind
And a sound body
Tsubaki's P.O.V.
It's been about two minutes since Stein asked us out of the room. Patty's crying was calming down but she still cried, in fact I don't think I've ever seen Patty cry or even upset for that matter, I honestly didn't think it was possible. Liz tried to comfort her sister but at one point we all saw her break down in tears with Patty, which made Maka cry as Soul cuddled his mister kissing her at the top of her head. Blackstar stood in the corner away from everyone and just stayed in silence. I hated this so much, it feels like Kid already dead and we just got the news.
I wanted Kid to be fine, I wanted nothing more than him to be healthy and happy so everyone is happy. I felt tears in my eyes so I wiped them away so no one would know. After all, if I cried no one could comfort me besides Blackstar who looked like everyone was his enemy… Am I his enemy? I soon snapped out of my thought when I heard a noise. It sounded like a scream and throw-up sound mixed together, what was Dr Stein doing to Kid?
This made Patty and Liz cry more. I walked over to them and try to help them without crying, which was tough, but all I did was teared up a bit and told them "Kid will be fine, I know he will…"
Shinigami's P.O.V.
That sound, I swear, if doing this injuries my son horribly I will DISSECT STEIN! I looked at my son who panted, his breathing should be steady now… I hope. I ruffed my son's cute hair and told him how brave he was. I mean yes he killed many kishin eggs and only been scared by asymmetrical stuff but he's never been complete dead for five minutes and brought back to life before.
I looked at Stein who was writing something down on a piece of paper. I know he wasn't writing notes on Kid because it was messy writing, and I know messy writing when I see messy writing. Stein showed the paper to Kid and said "read out this whole sentience now". Kid took some time to read the paper, I couldn't help but to lean over and read it as well. The paper read "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." Even though it last minute messy writing but it wasn't as messy as mine and was easy to read, Kid could read this.
"Quick Fox… Jumped…. Dog" Kid laid there, wide eyed at the paper as if he was trying his heart out on just reading that sentience. "Just as thought, Shinigami-sama, I would like to talk to you and the other students outside for a quick word please". I gulped and nodded, letting go of my beloved son's hand and walked out. This didn't seemed good one bit.
Liz's P.O.V.
Dr Stein walked out with Shinigami-sama, does this mean Kid's fine? Can we see him? Dr Stein walked up to was, telling us he needed to tell about Kid's condition. My gut told me that Patty and I are going to need tissues after this, well that and a hug from Kiddo. We all huddled around him, Soul holding Maka as if she would get taken away from him if he didn't hold her. Blackstar having his arms crossed as Tsubaki looked downed, Shinigami-sama next to Patty who held my arm and sniffling.
"As you all should hopefully know, Kid has been dead for five minutes or more and has been brought back to life as it wasn't his time yet." What a great way to bring up a conversation Dr Stein! I thought sarcastically in my head. "As for the question 'will he be ok?' I can tell you his health is fine, but there's a possibility that he might never acted like the Kid you all once knew" He continued, everyone looked with wide eyes at him. Kid not being Kid? No…
"What do you mean?" I questioned the screw-headed man in front of me. "His speech isn't what it was, he can only say two words without needing breath or pausing. As for his body itself, he can't move nor live without the 'needles' –as you guys say- in him"
"B-but you just said 'he is healthy'!" I hissed at him, first he tells me he fine then he says he isn't the Kid I know and love any more, he might as well tell me to punch him in the face. "He is healthy, his soul is fine but Kid himself might not ever be the same" He stopped talking to grab one of his bloody cigarettes. I rolled my jacket sleave up and my other one, to make it symmetrical, and walked to 'Dr' Stein. "You got some nerve to tell me and my little sister Kid never going to leave bed!" I walked up to punch to death until he MADE Kid better when I felt someone grab me. It was Patty.
"Please, I hurt a lot sis after what happened to Kiddo, don't hurt Stein" She said to me, looking almost she was going to cry. Poor Patty, a girl her age shouldn't be hearing stuff like this. Although if Patty could get through hearing this without beating the crap out of him, then I can as well. I'll do it for her, for Kid.
Maka's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe my ears, I didn't want to believe it. Kid… not the same. Throughout Dr Stein's talk and Liz's rage on him, I couldn't help but to think this was my fault. I mean Kid saved me, if that was me who died in that 'thing'… I would be long gone. Yeah, I would be missed by many including my creepy father, my loving mother and Soul, but Liz and Patty wouldn't be this… this… broken. That's the word I was looking for, broken. Both girls have been through so much and shouldn't bare the weight of their mister in his state now. But at the same time, Soul also had a tragic past and also shouldn't bare the weight of my death.
I cuddled Soul a bit tighter, pushing that thought out of my mind as Dr Stein continued. "There is a possibility that Kid might walk again, it's slim but possible. But even if he can walk, he will never have the strength to go on a one-star mister mission. Liz, Patty, I hate to say it but you need a new mister" I looked at him in shock, how could say that and still be calm? I looked at Liz who opened her mouth but Patty was the first one to say what –I thought- was necessary.
"How. Dare. You. EVEN THOUGH KIDDO CAN'T MOVE DOESN'T MEAN HIS USELESS! HOW DARE YOU SAY TO MY SISTER'S FACE YOU BITCH! KIDDO IS ONE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO ME AND YOU TREAT AS IF HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BROKEN TOY! HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY MISTER AND SIS'S AS WELL AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT DO YOU HEAR ME!?"
Everyone stood wide eyed at the girl except Stein, of course. After a few pants from Patty, she ran away crying with Liz, in tears following her heart broken sister. Why would Dr Stein say that now, after he just told us all this? Dr Stein sighed. "Well, that went better than expected" he said, I guess he thought we would all kill him… I kinda wanted to after all he was being calm about it while we all just stood in silence through it. I was the one who spoke next. "Ummm, Dr Stein, if he can't ever go on missions again… then how can he be the next Shinigami-sama?"
"Well to be honest, he will never be the next Shinigami. But since that and the needles are the only thing keeping him alive right now we can't do anything. When the time comes, Shinigami-sama will take Kid's powers away and give them to someone worthy of the next Shinigami" Stein finished. Kid won't be the next Shinigami-sama? How can he say that?
I looked at everyone's faces. Soul's was shocked but calm, I think. Tsubaki was wiping her tears away and crying in her hands while Blackstar stayed the same way, arms crossed and staring at the floor, why isn't he trying to comfort her? Idiot. I looked at Shinigami-sama, but I couldn't see much since he had his mask on, but I'm sure he was in pain on the inside. After all, he will be stripping his son of his title "the new Shinigami-sama, God of Death" which would be rough. I just looked down, Kid and I didn't talk that much unless we were on a mission or a about a book one of us is reading and that sort of stuff, but I know how much he means to Liz and Patty. And I know how much Liz and Patty means to Kid, and just to watch something like this in their eyes is a nightmare. I wish we could help them, all three of them, somehow.
Patty's P.O.V.
Screw Stein, no, FUCK Stein and his stupid ideas. Don't care if his the one saving Kiddo's life, anyone could have save him and him be ok after. I continued running down the hallways, I don't know where to go. Home? No, I can't go home without Kiddo-kun! But where then, I can't go back there, not with nut-head there. I felt the water fall down my eyes as I pictured Kiddo's sad face before, he looked so sad, I don't wanna know how sad he will be when nut-head tells him we need a new mister.
"PATTY! WAIT!" I heard big sis yell to me, which made me trip, a fell down and slid on the floor a bit. This made me cry more, why? Why? Big sis stopped and kneed down to me. "Patty, you ok?" She asked, I shook my head. "Do you need a hug?" She said with her arms out, I jumped on to her and cried really loud, I think people heard me, but I didn't care. I wanted nothing more than this whole thing to be a nightmare, to wake to Kiddo-kun saying something smart like "I'm a Shinigami that will never happen." But it wasn't a dream, I was on the ground cuddling sis as Kiddo-kun was hurting all over. "Patty, I know you wanna see Kid, but it's been a horrible day and you're tried, let's just go home and-"
"B-but Kiddo-kun, we can't leave without Kiddo cause- cause" That's when big sis cover my mouth and help pull me off the ground. "We need rest Patty, I know home isn't home without Kid but at the same time I don't think it's a good idea to go back after you yelled at Stein" She does have a point, a HUGE point. "Besides, Kid would want us both in our bed asleep, not here." I finished crying and agreed to go home with her. All the way home she told me that I was really brave, but I think she was the brave one, she was there to comfort me through this when she needed it as well. Tomorrow I'll be good, be braver, and make Kiddo-kun and big sis giraffes!
