A week after kid's leg had healed, his team was given a mission and so he and his 2 weapons went along.

"You sure your fit enough to do this" asked Black Star as they waited for the target to emerge.

"I'm fine" said Kid "Stop worrying about me and get ready. She's coming"

The witch lurched forward and Maka and Soul were thrown into Black Star and Tsubaki sending them all flying back. Kid tried to fight her back with Liz and Patty, but soon she had disarmed him.

"Well look what we have here" the witch kicked Kid the head sending him to the ground and then before he could get up she took a heavy step and stamped on his left leg.

Kid cried out in pain.

"Kid!" shouted Liz returning to her human form and using her sister as a gun to fight the witch off Kid.

Maka and Soul ran forward and took Kid's arms.

Meanwhile Black star and Tsubaki helped Liz and Patty after a while the witch retreated but they all knew it wouldn't be long until she was back.

Maka and Soul helped Kid sit down, he sat there for a while swearing under his breath.

"What's the damage?" asked Black star as the 4 of them caught up.

Liz stood forward and checked over his leg again.

"It's dis-a-lined" she said

"And in English that means?" said Soul

"It means the stupid bitch snapped the bone again!"

Kid grimaced "Do you have to use such blunt words" he said

"Don't worry kid we'll get you back alright" said Tsubaki but Kid frowned and looked down at his leg.

"It's not that I'm worried about" the others looked questioning at him and he sighed.

"My grim reaper blood has already started healing it, within a few hours it will be completely healed".

Liz was the only one who understood what he meant.

"But it won't line right, and none of us know how to do it" she started panicking a little but she swallowed it down.

"I know" Kid paused and then looked miserable "and then think about how unsymmetrical I'll be".

Patty hit him on the head.

"Focus on what really important" she said and then she turned to the rest of the people on her team

"We need to think of how we can we get him home" said Soul.

Kid just rested his head back against the tree he was slumped against.

And continued to internally try and fight the darkness.

"Kid come on wake up" Maka was shaking him "can you stand we got to go, she's hunting us so be quiet"

Kid moved his leg, it was stiff and felt strange because of the way the bone was set but it wasn't broken and he was sure he could walk on it.

Getting up they moved away and slowly made their way round the witch.

Maka had informed Sid and the others of the situation and they were going to try and bring reinforcements as quickly as they could.

On the outskirts of the forest they were hiding in they saw Sid, his 2 weapons, Stein and Spirit.

Sid and the weapons went ahead into the forest with Black Star and Tsubaki where as Maka and Soul stayed with Kid. Mainly because Spirit wouldn't let go of Maka.

"Oh my lovely daughter, please don't scare daddy like that again!" he cried.

"For goodness sake papa get a grip!"

Stein turned his attention to kid who was looking very pale, after examining his leg quickly Stein sighed and sat down.

"You know what I'm going to say don't you" Maka and Spirit stopped talking and stared at Stein and Kid along with Soul. Kid merely looked at the floor.

"Yeh, due to the situation my body tried to heal faster. The bones already reset…but in the wrong place".

Stein sighed again but smiled sadly

"You're almost right, the bone has almost reset but there is still the chance that I can reset it and have it as good as new".

Kid swallowed, he knew what was coming but that still didn't make hearing it any better.

"Doesn't that mean…?" Patty began but Stein interrupted

"yes, it means I'll have to re-break the bone and reset it in the vice again"

Kid turned even paler than he already was which even Stein thought was worryingly impressive.

"We'll have to start now though, your body will heal it beyond repair soon".

"That doesn't even make sense" said Kid sadly as he grimaced "Alright, lets get on with it".

"Ata boy" said Stein gently clapping Kid on the back before standing up and walking to the other side of the room in the base they were situated at.

"Spirit, Soul" he said without turning round as he filled a syringe with the morphine, the two walked over to him.

"I need you two to hold him down and try and restrict him movements as much as possible" He glanced over to where Maka and the other 2 girls were talking to Kid and Patty looked like she would never let go of Kid's hand ever again.

"Won't the morphine get rid of the pain?" asked Spirit.

"Some maybe" said Stein turning back to what he was doing "to be honest its more for mental profit than anything, Kid's blood will burn it up pretty fast and we don't have enough here to have a constant drip, but if he thinks that it will take away the pain then he mind will do the rest"

Soul and Spirit stared at Stein, could he really be planning to deceive Kid and more to the point was he really planning to break Kid's leg without any pain killers?

"By the look on your faces you think I'm mad" said Stein bluntly

"Yeh" said Soul and then he shrugged "but you're the Dr so you're meant to know what you're doing".

So the three of them walked back over to Kid. Stein was right Patty wasn't planning on letting go of Kid's hand despite his protests.

"Right Kid, this is important, I want you to try and stay as still as possible"

Kid nodded as Stein gave him the morphine.

Spirit and Soul took hold of Kid's arms and got ready to hold him back while stein took hold of his leg.

"Grit your teeth; we don't want you biting off your tongue as well as everything else".

Kid did as he was told and got ready for the one, two, snap.

But Stein simply felt for the healing crack in the bone and then snapped it.

Kid would have taken all the other pain in the word right now because it wouldn't have been any more painful than this.

A cry escaping from his lip, Spirit and Soul held him still as Stein pulled and twisted his leg.

"Come on Kid your nearly there" said Patty tears in her eyes ad Kid gripped her hand.

Spirit hated seeing a child in this much pain. Since he became a father the sight of this kind of thing was almost unbearable.

"Hang in there Kid" he said.

Kid couldn't really hear them, the pain had taken over his whole body and he could feel something else the darkness but this time it was different. It was stronger and Kid knew that if he let this darkness overcome him, he would never wake up from it.

This darkness was the end.

"Stein I don't think he can take much more" said Spirit and he was right Kid had stopped struggling and was now just twitching, his eyes were glazing over and his breathing un even and his grip on Patty's hand loosening.

"No, come on Kid hang in there, shoot we should have brought more morphine".

There was the click of the leg resetting and Stein quickly fixed it in the vice.

Maka grabbed a pillow and put it under Kid's head as Spirit and Soul lay him down.

Stein grabbed a torch and shone it in Kid's eyes and then in a panic, checked for his pulse. It was faint. The pain and shock had been too much for his human heart.

"We need to get him back to the Academy now!" said Stein, only being within the grim reapers soul would give Kid the strength he needed to get his heart pumping normally again.

As they travelled back, Stein was trying to pump the blood round with CPR but it wouldn't work forever.

"How's he looking Stein" said Spirit as he tried to get oxygen into Kid's body.

"I don't think this is going to work much longer, Sid how far from Death city are we?"

Sid, who was driving, turned round and said

"Around 10 minutes if I put my foot down"

"Then do it"

A/N I'm really sorry to death the Kid fans! I'm putting him through so much pain! Even so I hope you enjoying the story. Chapter 3 was a little short hence why I uploaded chapter 4 quickly after. I hope you enjoy. Please review. Karin x
