A sound soul

Dwells within a sound mind

And a sound body

Shinigami-sama's P.O.V.

I could feel it, every little bit. The pain my own son. As a Shinigami I can see all around Death City and understand how people feel. But since I have a son, we are bonded, I can feel him even when his out of my city. I could see his nightmare, every little bit of it. I saw the death of Patty, the cries of hatred from Liz and Kid's helpless body lying in bed as he witnesses the dream itself. And I couldn't save him from it.

I woke from my nightmare, correction, from Kid's nightmare. That hasn't happen since he was six. Humm, I remember how his terrifying nightmares creped me out a bit, and how he would run into my room and tell as if I didn't know. I soon also remember how happy he was when I told him he could sleep with me. I smiled at the memory of my little boy.

I soon got out of bed and got my suit and mask on. Yes, I do sleep in pyjamas instead of my suit, that's way too uncomfortable. I walked to the big mirror in the middle of my room and wrote the number of the school, well, my number. I waited a while until Stein finally picked up.

"Morning Shinigami-sama" He said, in his normal mood. "Morning Stein, have you checked on Kiddo yet?" I asked in my normal cheery voice, I was honestly worried about Kiddo, but I shouldn't show anyone besides Kid. Stein informed me that he hasn't but Blackstar and Soul are with him still. I nodded and told him that I will be at the Academy soon to check on him.

I finished breakfast and started walking to my school. I worried about him the whole walk here. I was wondering how he was, if his ok, and mainly how bad this dream is?

Soon I was here at my school and walked to the infirmary. I saw Soul outside of the room with his arms crossed. What in grim reaper's name is he doing outside? Is Blackstar being himself again? I walked up to him and asked him about the topic.

"I have no idea, he's been jumpy with me since last night." Soul said as he looked up at me. Strange, but at the same time I had a pretty good idea why. "Well Evans, any idea why?" I questioned, if I heard his idea of the story it might help, I think. He shook his head and said, "Na, I just went with Blackstar to get some food when we came back Kid was walking around." I think he was saying something else but I reaper chopped him so I wasn't sure.

"Owwwww, what was that for?" He moaned out. "I told you NOT to leave him!" I told him in a pissed voice, wait… Kiddo could walk? I look down at my student and began to speak again.

"Evans, you can go home" He looked up at me, rubbing his head. "Why? Don't you trust me anymore?" He said, calm but confused.

"You and Blackstar looked after Kid better than what I thought, and from the sounds of it, he almost fully recovered. I can take care for him now, I also miss him quite a bit as you could imagine. And besides, I can tell you miss being around your meister." I finished, Soul sat up and grinned at me. "It's that obvious?" He replied, I nodded saying "Everyone could tell."

Soul stood up and thanked me. I opened the door and walked into the infirmary, which made Kiddo jump, he probably thought I was Soul. "Morning Kiddo, morning Blackstar" I said in my normal cheery voice, "Morning Chichiue" Kid replied.

"Sup Lord Death" Blackstar said quietly, well, his quietly, which normal talking to NORMAL people. I walked up to Blackstar and reaper chopped him. "Owwwww, what was that for?" He asked.

"Soul told me what happen last night, about leaving Kiddo alone when I told you two NOT to" I said, stern but a bit cheery. Blackstar stayed laying on the floor for a while, I think I hit him too hard, oh well. "Blackstar, even though you disobey my orders, you still did a good job of taking care of my son while his recovering. I thank for that and send you home now" Blackstar stood up, sharing the same confused look like Soul.

"Really? Why?" He question.

"Like I said, you and Soul took care of my son. And from what Soul told me Kid is almost fully recovered. As for that, I will take care of Kiddo for now on." Blackstar thanked me and ran off to class. The loud mouth assassin must have missed Tsubaki like how Soul missed Maka. I turned to my son, Kiddo, who looked out the window and said, "I know, about you being in my dreams again." Well, that came out of nowhere, but either way, I was going to bring it up sooner or later.

"Kiddo, I don't do this just because I stalk my son, when your soul is disturbed by whatever reason, I appear in your night terrors or see things through your eyes" I said, it was true, much like how my son could sense if I was in trouble. It's a Shinigami thing.

"So do you know why I had that dream?" He asked, still not looking me in the eye. I signed at my son and walked towards him, pulling my mask off, I know he likes me more without it. I sat next to my son and stroked his soft but greasy hair. "Kiddo, if I knew I would have come quicker so I made sure it never happened again. But sadly no, at least not really."

"What do you mean by 'not really'?"

"I have a theory, you see, maybe your weakness is getting to you" I told Kiddo, who was finally looking at me.

"How so? If this is MY fear, then how come Soul is killing my partners? Why isn't it Asura or the kishin egg that nearly killed… me?" He questioned.

"Well, like I said it's a theory. But I believe you're afraid of being weak in the state you're in, it's impossible to save anyone. You're scared of your friends dying next in front of you as all you can do is watch, you think their hate you for that fact of you thinking you're useless. So, do you think that's somewhat arcuate?" I waited for a second or two for a response, none came. I looked down at my son "Kid?"
I saw his face in tears, that's when I knew I was right. After all, even a reaper fears many things, our fears however are realistic… most of the time. I gave Kid sort of a sad smile. "Ohhh Kiddo-kun, it's ok, they don't think that of you" I said a few times to my son, hugging him and rubbing circles on his back. I wanted to be in tears myself, but Kid needs me more now than ever, I won't cry.

"How can I be the next Shinigami if I can hardly get out of my own bed!?" My son screamed and cried out. I stayed silences for this whole scene broke me, I still haven't told him. He doesn't know. Not yet, but when he does, I don't know if I can ever be anything like a father to him again.

Liz's P.O.V.

We heard everything, we were all outside the door, listening to Shinigami-sama's and poor Kid's talk. We heard the nightmare, we heard his theory, and we heard Kid's cries. We all knew that he doesn't know. Not yet. We all know that Shinigami-sama knows we're outside the door, listening in on the conversation. Maka was in tears, so was Tsubaki. The boys were quiet but worried about Kid as well. As for me and Patty, all we did was watch Kid's nightmare slowly coming true. He doesn't know about what's going to happen to us, he doesn't what's going to happen to him. I walked off, if I stay any longer I would be in tears next. Patty turned and quickly followed my pace.

"Sis, where you going?" She asked. "Back to the mansion." I quickly replied back at her. I could feel her look at me confused.

"You mean home, don't you?"

"No, Patty, that's not home anymore. We're moving out" I said. Patty stood still with shock across her face. "W-why?" she said in pain.

"If we stay when Kid finds out about… us and him. He will be in more sorrow and pain if we stay. So we can't stay. Until we find a new place, we'll stay at Maka's place." I said while tears of anger, pain and sorrow rolled down my cheek. "B-but home?" She whispered.

"Patty, I'm sorry but it's for Kid's sake. When finds out about him no longer being a reaper and the fact he will never be strong enough to be our meister again, his world will crumble. And us staying… will break his only piece of sanity he would ever have left" I finish. I turned back to cuddle Patty as she was almost in tears. I looked back at Kid's sobbing body, which was still being hugged by his father. I'm sorry Kid but… this is goodbye. For good this time, I'll miss you more than you'll ever know. We both will.

Next chapter will be more about Kid's recovery with his father and THE SHIPPING COUPLES! Because my friend says I'm too depressing.
