A/N Here is another chapter, hope you enjoy sorry for the wait. I usual start another chapter when the idea pops into my head so thank you for being patient. I don't own Noragami or Soul Eater
Third Person
Kid flew towards the rest stop hoping the darkness of night would keep him hidden. After the sudden reveal of who he is, several reporters crowded the police officers, especially Satsu. Kid looked towards the rest stop with his soul perception, realizing Yato had taken care of the other witch.
"It looks like we are found out." Soul said through wavelength communication.
"I know, usually I wouldn't have a problem but I am cautious as to how the humans of this world will react to a god of death." Kid replied
"Kid shouldn't we be heading to the rest stop faster? Didn't you say there was a witch there?" Liz spoke
"Yato seems to have gotten there and dealt with her. She isn't dead but she is slowly dying." Kid answered.
"Yato dealt with the witch?" Patty asked this time
"Soul and I have actually seen him fight. He is very skilled in combat." Kid confirmed
"Yuki's weapon form is pretty cool." Soul commented
Kid flew closer to the rest stop now seeing Daikoku's borderline. "They must have placed that barrier."
Kid arrived only to see both Yato and the witch laying a few feet away from each other, both injured quite badly. Yato noticed Kid and smiled a bloody smile.
Kid landed next to Yato "I am terribly sorry for having you fight her." Kid apologized as he stood in front of Yato.
"You were busy, besides this wasn't that hard of a fight." Yato stated as he lifted himself with Yuki/Sekki who was also injured.
"It is very impressive that you fought a high level witch and one engulfed by madness at that. I am also grateful you didn't kill her, so thank you." Kid told Yato who was now standing.
"It isn't my place to kill an enemy who isn't mine in the first place. I was simply protecting some friends of mine." Yato said this as he looked towards the rest stop.
Kid looked for Kofuku and Daikoku's soul, only to be surprised by Daikoku's which was being slowly being filled with madness.
A while before Kid had arrived Daikoku went inside under the suggestion of Kofuku. Inside he has been fighting to stay conscious, but was slowly failing. He was also struggling to keep the borderline up, wasting all his energy.
"Inform them that this fight is over but I still have to talk with her." Kid told Yato as he look towards the dying witch who was unconscious.
Yato took at his phone and quickly called Kofuku, informing her that it is safe to release the borderline. After hanging up, a few seconds passed before the borderline was brought down, allowing Daikoku to stop struggling with it. Yato slightly struggled to get inside of the rest stop but eventually made it in where Kofuku started tending to his wounds.
Kid walked towards the unconscious witch who obtained several injuries from Yato's sekki. Kid simply looked at her and her soul seeing it completely engulfed by madness, also seeing the madness killing her at the same time.
Kid planted Soul on the ground, creating a loud *clank* noise startled and waking the witch.
She noticed Kid standing over her, holding on to his death scythe ready to strike if she tried anything, but she simply smiled.
"Hello… Death…so you have come to end me?" She mocking asked.
Kid simply kept a straight face "You are already dying so killing you right away will be pointless. Who are you?" Kid asked.
"So you'll be integrating me during my last moments? How pathetic. I also assume you killed the others since you are here before me." She asked
"They forced my hand. I tried to compromise but they denied every offer. I also tried to subdue them but they were too far gone; killing them was the only way of saving them from total insanity." Kid explained making her scowl.
"Lies, LIES!" She yelled but stopped as she coughed up blood. Kid hadn't noticed a stab wound in her lower stomach.
As she stopped coughing she looked at Kid "You killed them because you were afraid of our power. Madness was the only way to beat you and you can't have anyone more powerful than you. You greedy bastard." She stated
"Even though you say that, you know the madness is killing you. It has killed all the witches who tried to use madness so you aren't any exception." Kid told her.
"We are Lady Kuma's first success, we were send here to kill you and ,we would have, if you didn't have your fucking Death Scythes." She stated
"Lady Kuma? I assume she is the one leading you. She is also the one who created the madness magic." Kid looked as her for confirmation.
"Don't you dare speak her name! She is our savior and she will bring the world to its knees." She said getting angry.
"She is killing off more and more of your kind. Testing this madness on them which ultimately kills them and you don't care?"
"All trial and error. Wouldn't you make sacrifices to bring victory?"
"When fighting, there will always be casualties but I would never kill off any of my people simply to test a better way to win. That is greedy behavior."
"And you are the greediest, damn reaper. Even now you get information from a dying witch. I thought you wanted to make peace. I laugh at that pitiful dream, it would never be possible. Witches, and humans co-existing is the stupidest idea the DWMA ever came up with and the stupidest thing you said. Your father raised an idiot, what else to expect when your father is a reaper."
"Enough! You can insult me all you want but if you even try to insult my father… I can't guarantee the safety of your soul." Kid threatened with clear anger
"See, I doubt I'm the first you've said that to. Anyone who opposes you, insults you, or shows any sign of power, you destroy."
"I work for peace and order and I will befriend anyone who uses their power for just that but you don't seek peace or order; only destruction."
As Kid and Yagi spoke, Kofuku and Yato had walked out hoping Kid would help with Daikoku since he knew about the madness. Yato left a resting Yuki beside Daikoku. They noticed them speaking and waited but couldn't help but listen to their conversation.
"Is that why you killed your brother?" She stated smirking as she saw Kid physically freeze. Kofuku and Yato heard this and slightly wondered what she meant.
"Did I hit a nerve?"
"How do you know about that?"
"We know more than you think reaper. You might not know it but several witches from that time have betrayed Mabaa and given us very valuable information."
"We had no other choice and you know that. That Kishin would have destroyed everything even witches and I would never in my entire life call him my brother. We may be from the same soul of the same father but he is not my brother." Kid stated with anger and fury in his eyes.
Yato and Kofuku heard this revelation, slightly startled them "Having to kill his father, only to gain power to kill his brother. What the hell has he been through? What the hell have they been through" Yato thought.
"So defensive. Is it really such a hard thing to talk about….. It seems it is…." Yagi's breaths got quieter and shorter.
"You are going to die now, any last comments?" Kid asked
"Long…L.. wit-" Yagi never finished her sentence as she died, leaving her body stiff.
"I have to collect her soul." Kid stated as he raised Soul above his head and brought it down. As the blade of the scythe punctured her torso, her body slowly disintegrated in black mass. When it was fully gone it revealed her red witch soul.
"There is the last witch." Kid stated as he collected her soul.
Kid turned to see Kofuku and Yato still standing there "I assume you heard that?" He asked
"We are sorry we didn't mean to eavesdrop." Yato answered.
"It is alright, though not many people know so I trust you to not speak of… The Kishin's identity." Kid stated as he walked up to them.
"Kiddo-chan, can you help Daikoku?" Kofuku asked
"I sensed he has madness, please take me to him." As Kid said this Soul transformed back along with Liz and Patty.
Kofuku took them to Daikoku who was now laying down and still fighting to keep consciousness.
"Good to see…you are safe." Daikoku stated.
Kid noticed the spear which was still in Daikoku's shoulder, immediately feeling the madness emitting from it. Kid looked back towards the pained Daikoku "Listen Daikoku, I am going to have to remove this spear since it is the source of all the madness, which is storming your body." Kid informed him as he crouched down.
"I've… tried but…it burned me." Daikoku told Kid.
"It must be the madness, I'll have to use a different method to pull it out." As he said this Kid raised his hand slightly and several shadow skull arms appeared from it. He maneuvered them towards the spike, making them wrap around it.
Kid stood up and looked at the laying Daikoku "Now this is probably going to hurt…a lot. More so since this isn't something you have dealt with and it is madness." Kid stated. Daikoku simply nodded while Kofuku sat by his side.
"Kid, isn't there a, I don't know, less painful method?" Liz asked
"There could be but this is the fastest way of pulling it out. The madness will burn… a lot, even when I pull it out, so prepare yourself Daikoku." Kid answered and explained as he looked at the shinki. Kofuku grabbed Daikoku's hand.
"Okay on the count of eight." Kid said
Daikoku was confused as to why they had to count to eight but didn't say anything as he waited for Kid to start.
"Eight" Kid suddenly said as he started pulling, it was strangely stuck more than he thought it would be.
"AAAAHHHH!" Daikoku roared at the sudden pain throughout his entire body especially his shoulder.
Everyone simply cringed at the sound and at the state this usual calm man was in.
"Damn, it seems to have latched itself. Somehow." Kid said as the skull arms pulled more only slightly moving the spear.
Daikoku yelled in pain more and more. Unknown to them, a certain god of war and warriors was heading their way.
"Veena, I know you said you wanted to seek an augury, with Lady Kofuku but is that really what you are doing?" Kazuma asked
"Yes, with all the phantoms around lately, I don't want more vents opening up without me noticing." Bishamon stated as she rode Kuraha and neared the rest stop.
"That might be but I am sure you simply want to go and ask about that new god we fought yesterday." Kazuma told her master.
"Kazuma." Bishamon said with a warning tone making Kazuma quickly be quiet.
They finally arrived at Kofuku's house not knowing what was taking place inside.
"This is strange, Lady Kofuku is usually outside." Bishamon stated as she got off Kuraha. She then noticed the reaper projection baffled as to how she didn't see the purple glowing thing before.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Bishamon heard Daikoku scream, quickly drawing her attention away from the projection.
"Isn't that Lady Kofuku's shinki?!" Kazuma said making Bishamon quickly call for her weapons.
"Karuha, Kazuha." She said as the two twin pistols appeared in her hands and she rushed into the home.
Kid had managed to get the spear half way out of Daikoku's shoulder, the pain still getting worse.
"It is nearly out, hold on!" Kid shouted. Everyone watched from the sidelines as Kid tried his best to pull it out as painless as possible, completely failing.
Bishamon suddenly burst into the room startling all its inhabitants.
"Oh no." Liz mumbled
"It's the asymmetrical girl." Patty stated
"It's you!" Bishamon shouted
"Now's not the time!" Kid shouted as Bishamon shot bullets towards him.
"Sorry Daikoku!" Kid shouted as the skull arms quickly yanked the spear out of Daikoku shoulder making him shout out in pain, louder than before. Kid moved back as the bullets passed him and hit the wall.
"Bisha stop!" Kofuku yelled making the war god suddenly stop.
"Lady Kofuku this scoundrel-
"Enough, Kiddo-chan is helping Daikoku! I know you are angry but he isn't who you think he is!" Kofuku shouted
"He is the cause of those vents in the sky and all the phantoms around lately!" Bishamon shouted.
"Kid actually felt really bad about that so he helped Yato in dealing with them." Soul told her.
"Who the hell are you?" Bishamon shouted
"I'm Lord Death's cool death scythe, Soul Eater." Soul answered as he pointed at himself, while smiling.
"Soul, I don't think now is the time to introduce your "cool" self. Besides you were just doing that because she's half naked." Liz said
"Soul is a pervert!" Patty shouted.
"Hey don't tell me Maka has told you stories again! It is always Blair's fault anyways!" Soul shouted at the two sisters.
Bishamon and the shinki with her simply watched in confusion.
"All of you be quiet, we have more important matters to attend to. Ms. Bishamoten if you can please wait, I'll explain who I am and what I am doing here later." Kid looked at Bishamon who simply scowled.
"I will listen in respect for Lady Kofuku." Bishamon said as she turned to see the injured Yato who was nervously smiling. She shot him a death glare, which held full intention of harming.
Kid crouched down to the now unconscious Daikoku "I am sorry but it is up to you Daikoku, you'll have to fight to keep your sanity. It will be the hardest fight you've ever been in. Just remember you have someone who is waiting for you to come back, let that be your courage." Kid encouraged the unconscious Daikoku who was indeed listening.
"Daikoku will be unconscious for some time until he manages to beat insanity." Kid informed everyone as he turned to face Kofuku in particular.
"Can't we do something else?" Kofuku slightly pleaded.
"I may be well informed of madness but I don't have the power to heal madness or at least control it. Basically we either let him fight it, which will take some time, or we find a way to get him to our world, where he can be treated." Kid answered making Kofuku lower her head.
"Death Scythe stay with him, while I inform Ms. Bishamoten about our little situation." Kid ordered Soul who simply nodded.
"Now let us step into another room, we might as well let Daikoku rest, it is the least we can do." Kid stated as he looked at Bishamon.
"Fine." She said as she walked out of the room. Followed by everyone else.
After about two hours of explaining, answering, flat out arguing, and nearly fighting Bishamon had accepted (somewhat) Kid's explanation and was currently sipping tea. Midnight neared as they sat awkwardly, the only noise is outside with Patty begging Kuraha to turn back into a lion.
"I guess we should all call a day." Kid said breaking the awkward silence
"I'll be taking my leave than, thank you for the tea Lady Kofuku." Bishamon stated as she walked outside told all her regalia to turn back to their shinki form. She got on Kuraha (as Patty watched in amazement and joy) and rode off heading towards her shrine.
"That was harder than I thought it would be." Kid stated as rubbed his temples
"Bisha can be like that but she is really caring." Kofuku informed
"Anyways you guys can rest in the room, I'll stay awake to check on Daikoku." He told his weapons and the worried gods.
"Yuki is still passed out from the fight, he needs the rest." Yato spoke
"Well until tomorrow." With that everyone went to their rooms and Kid sat down, watching the projection.
Few days later
News of the monsters and witches had reached international discussions, several other countries, equally as baffled as the last. Japan had been on a state of emergency, just in case more of these creatures returned. In those few days police officers in the city had been told, if the holes in the skies appeared again, to evacuate the area nearest to them
Japan had also been searching or rather waiting for the person who had stopped the monsters. News of an unidentified personal had reached high ranking officials of nearly every country. Some saw this new person as a threat, arguing that he was called the god of death by those he fought. Others saw him as a real life super hero. These opinions would often lead to arguments from the world's most prestigious people.
The news channels hadn't stopped talking about the new god in town, the fight between Kid and the witches always being seen, observed, everyone checking for any indication of a hoax, and never finding any.
Hiyori had gone back the next day after the fight, wondering who exactly those two women were. After gaining an explanation from Kid, Hiyori had apologized and confessed her doubtful feelings on the death god.
"This strange occurrence, here and our very city has brought confusion throughout the world. The President of The United States, is said to speak today on the matter." A local female news reporter informed the viewers.
Hiyori watched from her living room couch, along with her mother who watched from the kitchen.
"It scary how things happen. One second it is a normal day the next we have monsters falling from the sky and a supposed shinigami fighting them." Hiyori's mother stated
Hiyori didn't reply as she kept watching the news
"We also have a special guest, one who claims to have spoken to the shinigami. Officer Ibēto Satsu is here in the studio with us now." Another reporter, male this time stated as the camera changed to show Satsu.
"Tell us Ibēto-san who is this person and why are they here?" The reporter asked
Satsu seemed to be nervous as he was asked the question. As he started talking he suddenly seemed confident.
"I don't know why he is here but he told me he is called Lord Death the Kid and that he is our protector." Satsu answered
Hiyori muted the television as she got up from the crouch "I'll be heading to the school festival now." She told her mother.
"Hiyori be careful, with everything that has happened, tragedy is simply waiting to happen." Her mother warned.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Hiyori said as she left.
"The MWA construction is continuing as planned." Stein informed Kid.
"Good, and there hasn't been any sign of trouble?" Kid asked
The past few days had passed without much happening. Kid received reports from Stein, Sid or other students. Tezca Tlipoca had discovered he can speak with Kid even through the projection, Kid was unfazed when he suddenly appeared while Yato was around when Tezca appeared, scaring the life out of him.
Since Daikoku was "sleeping" Liz and Patty decided to help out with the rest stop, bringing back their knowledge from working at Deathbucks. Since Liz and Patty were helping by working and Kid was helping Daikoku, Kofuku decided to take Liz and Patty shopping along with Hiyori, which allowed them to buy clothes for the remaining days, not only for them but Kid and Soul as well.
Liz and Patty had also gained a little more respect from the half-phantom after telling some of their stories since being partnered with Kid, which also gained more trust between all the girls. They also got paid as they continued bringing in costumers.
"Not as of yet, but from what has happened on your side, we have been on high alert." Stein answered.
"I hope Maka isn't having a hard time, with the overseeing of this project."
"She hasn't had a problem, everyone listens and respects her, which I am sure she is slightly enjoying."
"Have the witches had any luck in finding a way to get us back? I'm not sure how much longer Daikoku can last, his soul has been in conflict for a while now." Kid asked
"Last I spoke with Kim, she stated they are very near but are missing a variable, you'll have to wait a bit more but that was about a few days ago so I am not sure whether they've progressed or not. Yet, for Daikoku to last nearly a week with madness engulfing his body, that is pretty impressive." Stein answered
"I can tell he has a strong soul. The witches are really putting a lot of time into finding a solution. I wish I could thank Mabaa myself, I would also wish to apologize for killing those witches." Kid stated
"I am sure she, along with the entire Witch Council will understand why you did it. They betrayed both their sanity and the witches by consuming madness so what you did what the right thing." Stein consoled him
"Hey Stein, Lord Death, it has been a while." A male's voice interrupted both of them as Stein turned allowing Kid to see who was behind him.
"Spirit? What are you doing here?" Stein asked rather nonchalantly
"It's good to see you too….So you really are in a different dimension, Lord Death." Spirit Albarn of the DWMA European Branch, former personal weapon of the previous Lord Death walked up to the mirror/projection.
"Yes it seems I am and ,like Stein asked, what are you doing there in Death City?" Kid asked this time
"Well I came to spent time with my Maka during the fair." Spirit informed
"Fair? Wait you mean Death City Fair, has it already come around it feels like the previous one was just last week." Kid stated
"I guess time flies when you are very busy Lord Death, though it is a shame you probably won't be able to join us." Spirit said
"Don't lose hope, Spirit, the witches are working endlessly, I am sure they will figure it out in time for me to enjoy the fair." Kid reassured.
"Hey it's Bisha." Kofuku stated. Kid looked towards her to see Bishamon landing atop of Kuraha.
"Lady Bishamoten, are you here for another augury?" Kid asked as she simply scowled at him.
"Oh who's the fine lady?" Spirit said as he moved closer to the mirror examining Bishamon, who was still dressed in her usual clothing.
"You'll never get a chance Spirit. She's the god of war and warriors and she would beat you to a pulp if you even neared her and besides I'm sure you can see she has a lion." Kid said this as he motioned to Kuraha.
"A tough girl, I wouldn't mind." Spirit stated a he fantasized
"MAAAAAAKAAAAA CHOP!" A loud shout was heard as a book came down on Spirit's head causing a large dent to appear.
"Papa, the first thing you do when you come back is start checking out a god from another world!" Maka shouted at her father who was rubbing his head.
"Maka, you shouldn't hurt your papa after he came this far to see you." Spirit said as tears streamed down his face.
"You're lucky, I acknowledge you as my Papa." Maka scolded
"I assume you saw his soul, Maka, and decided to come check on your father." Stein identified
"Maka is that true!" Spirit said as he was now standing a seeming sparkling
Maka seemed to blush at the accusation as she turned to no direction in particular. "No, I just didn't want you to disturb Professor Stein as he speaks with Lord Death." Maka lied not really wanting to tell Spirit the truth.
"Maka, you do love me!" Spirit shouted as he hugged Maka with all his might.
"I better get going… can't leave the construction site for long periods." Maka quick freed herself from her father's grasp, bowed, and quickly walked out before Spirit could say "Maka"
"You're still creepy, even after two years." Soul walked up to the projection and stood next to Kid.
"You're still an octopus head. Even after becoming a Death Scythe." Spirit countered.
"Good to see you Old Man." Soul suddenly greeted with a smile.
"Taking good care of Lord Death I see." Spirit stated
"Of course, a cool death scythe like me would never let my guard down." Soul said
"Yeah, yeah but you're still there aren't there in the other world I mean." Spirit slightly mocked.
The two continued bickering back and forth while Kid and Stein simply watched in amusement.
"Catch a tiger by its toe…" Kofuku sang as she circled another place on the map Bishamon handed to her.
"Lady Kofuku are you sure you trust him? He doesn't seem much like a deity to me." Bishamon stated
"You should trust Kiddo-chan more, even though he hardly knows us, he treats us like friends. He even put himself in danger to protect humans from this world. He may be a shinigami but I trust him completely. I also feel bad for him." Kofuku explained
"It is hard to trust a god of death." Bishamon answered
"You can't judge someone by their title, Bisha." Kofuku said as she gave the map back the war god.
"Thank you Lady Kofuku." Bishamon took the map and mounted Kuraha, heading to the locations Kofuku had circled.
"Okay, okay enough bickering you two, you're death scythes for goodness sake." Kid interrupted the two death scythes' argument now more annoyed than amused.
"Hey Soul, come help us with putting away the supplies that just arrived!" Liz was heard from inside the rest stop
"She's more of a slave driver than Maka." Soul mumbled as he walked towards Liz
"Thank you Stein for reporting today. You can leave now." Kid stated
"If you'll excuse me than." Stein walked away from the projection leaving Spirit alone.
"So Spirit, you're already here so tell me how's Europe?"
"Pretty hectic, after your disappearance we've been searching for those witches non-stop." Spirit explained
"I apologize for that, things wouldn't have been this way if I was more careful. Even though it is very inconvenient of me being here especially during such a crucial time, it is a rather interesting experience. I've also met very interesting people and have learned quite a bit of this world. It would also serve as a learning experience for the DWMA students, I am sure of it." Kid expressed
"Same old Kid, always thinking about work and his students. You are in a different world, you should enjoy the rest. Knowing you I doubt you've slept the past week you've spent there." Spirit knowingly said
"You know I don't really need to sleep."
"Even if you are the lord of death doesn't mean you can't rest once in a while."
"That may be but this projection is a first time thing so leaving it alone won't be the best idea. I appreciate the concern though." Kid explained
"I guess I should get going, getting through to you will drain me of my energy, anyways good to see you Kid." Spirit walked away from the projection after his farewell.
"Maybe I should get some sleep." Kid muttered as he walked into Kofuku's home and sat down in the living room.
"Daikoku hasn't shown any sign of waking up, even in the couple of days he's hardly made any movement." Kid thought.
Someone suddenly put a cup on the table in front of him, knocking him out of his thoughts.
"Here you go Kiddo-chan, for all your hard work." Kofuku set the cup down as she sat down across from him.
"You're too kind Kofuku, as soon as I manage to get back to my world, I'll have to find a way to repay you." Kid told the poverty god as he sipped from the cup discovering it was tea.
"You are already working hard enough, with Daikoku. Without you I'm not sure Daikoku could have lasted this long." Kofuku said
"If it wasn't for me being here in the first place, you and Daikoku wouldn't have been in danger."
"Your too hard on yourself, Kiddo-chan. I can tell your trying your best to get him help."
"Well thank you, Kofuku, I'll definitely make sure to repay all of you for helping us."
"Man I haven't worked like this since Deathbucks. It is in a way refreshing." Liz entered followed by Patty and Soul.
"I miss Deathbucks, we should pay Master a visit." Patty stated
"His coffee is really good and he is pretty cool." Soul commented
"Master has grown on you two, I remember the first time you started working at Deathbucks, and you couldn't resent me more for making you." Kid joked
"We've thanked you enough, if it wasn't for our job there we wouldn't have met Tsugumi, Anya or Meme."
"Tsugumi still has her pony-tails asymmetrically made" Kid commented
"You should never insult a girl's hair style, you are lucky she's nice. Anyways we should head over to the school festival to support the couple café Hiyori is working for." Liz reminded everyone.
"You'll have to wait for Yato since he knows where her school is." Kid told her
"He's been gone a few hours, what job did he get anyways?" Soul asked
"Yatty advertises everywhere so I'm not sure what he is doing" Kofuku answered
"He advertises for jobs. Only charges five yen." Kid thought as he summed up everything he's heard and seen about Yato.
"Nobody seems to see him." Kid suddenly realized what type of god Yato is
"He is a hard worker, there isn't anything wrong with that." As he said this Kid noticed Kofuku looking at him with a knowing expression.
Kid didn't feel right in asking what Yato and Kofuku represent as gods, even though he was curious, it wasn't his place. Now Kid had some idea on Yato since now he knows Yato is a god without prayers.
"Kid will you go to the festival with us?" Patty questioned
"I can't leave Daikoku alone here, he might have been stable now but something can go wrong at any time."
"With that attitude it will."
"It's okay Kiddo-chan, you should go and have fun, and I'll stay with Daikoku."
Kid looked at Kofuku's smiling face, he knew if Daikoku lost his insanity and woke up he could cause lots of trouble, Kofuku would be in lots of danger.
"Fine, but you must listen to my conditions if Daikoku were to wake up." Kid instructed
Kofuku simply nodded still smiling away.
"If he were to wake up, normal, simply keep him in bed and give him something small to eat. Worst-case scenario he wakes up insane and consumed by madness, if that were to happen, don't try to reason with him, simply leave him be and if you can, lock him in this house. I'll be using my soul perception to monitor his soul from the festival." Kid clarified
"How would I know if he is insane?" Kofuku questioned
"Believe me you will know, even before he wakes up you'll feel it, madness isn't a joyous feeling. I am sure anyone around here will be unease, they won't know why but they'll know to simply fear it. That is what madness does to a person." Kid enlightened
Soul, Liz and Patty simply sat quietly knowing very well of madness' feeling. Fighting the god of madness head-on, does that to someone.
Kofuku also sat quietly she really hoped Daikoku wouldn't wake up engulfed by madness, that is something she can't and won't imagine.
"What is up with all the serious faces?" Yato remarked as he walked in followed by Yuki
"Did we interrupt something?" Yuki asked
"No, we were simply talking about the school festival." Kofuku's smile quickly returned along with joyful personality.
"Oh yeah that's today." Yato "remembered"
"Don't pretend you didn't remember, Yatty, I bet you've wanted to see Hiyori in her maid outfit." Kofuku teased
"WHAT! That isn't true!" Yato went on the defensive as his cheeks turned pink.
"You really are a pervert aren't you?" Yuki said
"Look who's talking!" Yato yelled at his shinki who wasn't paying attention to him anymore, making Yato angrier.
"Okay than I guess we should start heading to the festival." Liz commented as she stood up and stretched.
"This is going to be fun." Patty mentioned as she too stood up
"The faster the better, I don't want to leave Kofuku alone for too long." Kid stood up as well.
"I wonder how different this school festival will be from the DWMA's festivals." Soul mentioned
"We'll have to wait and see." All of them headed out right behind Yato, following him towards Hiyori's school.
The walk to the school wasn't really eventful, Liz and Patty commenting on the beanie Kid was forced to wear to hide his Sanzu Lines. When Hiyori had told them about the festival Liz and Patty quickly went out and bought a beanie for Kid not missing the chance to make sure he goes to the festival. It is a simple beanie all black with a gothic skull on the front.
"You two didn't give me enough time to make my hair symmetrical. This beanie is causing it to come out from everywhere." Kid argued as he adjusted his beanie.
"You would have been there for hours, trying to fix your hair, when it comes to hair you know you take longer than us." Liz expressed as she motioned to herself and her sister.
"Wouldn't you care that everyone will think your gothic or something?" Soul commented
In truth Kid did look very gothic, with a black and white striped, v-neck type t-shirt under a black zip-up hoodie (which was currently open). He also wore his skull rings symmetrically on each middle finger, like usual. Liz and Patty had somewhat of the same outfit, simply since they knew the reaper would be uncomfortable if they weren't.
"People will also think you are wearing contacts."
"I doubt anyone will mention it, Hiyori has pink eyes and that isn't the most common eye color." Kid pointed out.
"Hey we are here." Yato brought their attention to Hiyori's school entrance which was now several booths of food, random services and games. It was much like a small carnival.
"Wow this is going to be super fun." Patty nearly shouted with her excitement
"The café should be somewhere around here." Yato stated as he looked around
"We'll just have to walk around, until we find it, the biggest possibility is the café is swarmed by students from this school." Yato informed
"I never knew cafés were that big in Japan." Soul mentioned
"Actually it's for another reason." Yuki stated plainly
The four looked at them in slight confusion as Yuki slightly gave Yato a death glare.
The six walked around, looking at anything that seemed interesting (mainly Patty). They would buy random snacks, sometimes daring each other to eat it (mainly Liz, Patty and Soul). Unknown to them the workers of the booths and several people attending the festival looked at them with confusion mixed with interest.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know but they look American."
"Why would Americans be here? Are they transfer students?" Several whispers erupted while the death god and his weapons were completely oblivious.
"Those girls are pretty hot."
"What's with that guys' hair, it's all white."
"Americans are weird."
More and more whisperes were said now gaining the attention of the group
"So much for blending in." Soul whispered
"It doesn't really matter, let them speak their opinion, if their comments aren't directly said to us then we shouldn't listen." Kid stated not looking back.
Kid was all too familiar with being the center of attention, being Lord Death's son doesn't help with making friends.
They continued walking passing several people, ignoring several whispers. Still looking at other booths, it didn't really bother them, the comments, since nearly everyone in the group had their share.
They passed several clubs which were hosting random games, simply trying to draw attention.
Kid had noticed that Yato and Yuki had been silent the entire time, he figured not being seen or noticed can take a toll. Yuki, more than Yato, seemed to have an expression of want and sadness in his eyes as he looked at the interactions between the students.
They passed the karate club which had a small competition going on, Kid had to stop Soul from going and competing since it would draw too much attention if a stranger shows up and wipes the floor with everyone. Being a weapon has its physical perks.
They passed the drama club which was handing out flyers for their show which was later that day.
The baking club seemed to be having a baking contest.
"This place is pretty lively, it reminds me of the Death Bazaar." Liz remarked
"It is equally as crazy and full." Kid agreed
"Bazaar?" Yato spoke for first time since they got there
"The Death Bazaar is an annual event that is held in Death City, it is pretty much a festival or a swap meet. I've actually sold something there with my old meister." Soul explained
"Have you guys been to Japan before?" Yato asked
"Not for a vacation but on business yes, after some problems with trust throughout the world, I came to Japan and had a business dinner and meeting with the emperor and prime minister, nice people." Kid explained
"We didn't go since it was meant to be peaceful, the relations with the world after the Kishin's revival were rather harsh. So Kid basically traveled the world to insure and reassure the world of the DWMA's protection." Soul further explained
"I would have actually liked to go with Kid." Patty commented with a nod from Liz.
"Yato was right when he said there would be a line." Soul brought their attention to the line where a big sign which read "Couple Café!" was.
"This will take a while and having to stand in such an asymmetrical line is going to be rough."
"We'll get through this, Kid." Patty comforted with a determined expression as she intertwined her arm with his.
"You are both over dramatic." Liz put her arm around Kid's shoulder.
The six waited in line which was moving quicker than they anticipated, anyone who passed them couldn't help but either stare, some couldn't help but talk about them. From both genders they heard jealous whispers, some aimed at Kid since he had two beautiful girls basically latched to him. While the other were aimed at Liz and Patty who were latching on to a very good looking "goth." Most stared at Soul's hair believing he was some sort of delinquent for "dyeing" it that way.
"If only they knew it was natural." Soul had to fight back a smile since it would reveal his sharp teeth and cause more unwanted attention.
Only whenever people accidently bumped into them Yuki and Yato weren't noticed in the slightest. Yet every single person who bumped into them soon forgot about the two as they walked away. Kid noticed this which confirmed they were unnoticeable.
So the bigger question on Kid's mind was "What type of god is Yato?"
