Chapter 15- Memory
Its memories that are keeping everyone alive. A person can survive longer if they have beautiful memories to push them towards survival. They can live through any form of torturement if they have true memories that aren't changed by fake logic or harsh words. Kid let soft memories to embrace him, giving him strength. He searches and grasps memories to fight back the consequences of the isolation he is suffering. Memories are keeping him sane.
Kid let the memories of his friends to come into his mind, keeping him calm. So he could forget where he was and remember where he should be. He let their actions cease him from losing actions. He let their voices soothe him from his fears. They were fresh in his mind and clear as crystal. Kid felt himself become dependent on his memories.
Death the Kid POV
I remember seeing Patti twirled in the living room, singing to an upbeat song. She hopped on the couch, jumping as she sang the chorus. Acting as if she was alone or that no one was watching. Patti grinned so hard and sang so loudly that I thought she found the magical Narnia she's always talking about. Pleased with herself, she jumped off the couch and twirled till she landed on the ground. Happily she threw her arms into the air as she sang the chorus once more.
Upside Down! Bouncing off the ceiling!
Inside out! Stranger to this feeling!
Got no clue what I should do!
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you!
I remember Liz singed more calmly than Patti but she still had energy and a great voice. She painted her nails while tapping her foot so softly that I didn't notice she was tapping till I saw her feet moving. First she tapped out the beat of the song she was thinking of then hummed out the melody. Liz whispered the song after a while till she gradually got louder and louder. She then sang the chorus loudly, swaying her head and tapping her foot while she painted her nails.
Oh say, say, say! Oh say, say, say!
Wait, they don't love you like I love you!
Wait, they don't love you like I love you!
Ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aps!
I remember Soul would say that he's too cool to be singing but I heard him sing gently as he waited for Maka to come home. Soul shifted uncomfortable on the couch as he waited. Twisting around as if he couldn't stay still. His hands twitched trying not to follow the melody of the piano. He was watching on the TV a person was playing a song that usually is played by a guitar. Soul unclenched his hand and leaned back on the couch, not caring anymore. He followed the song with a light hum till the song started over and he sang.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven
I remember in Karaoke Black Star pushed Maka to the floor and snatched the microphone from her. Black shouted his signature phrase as he hopped onto the table in the middle of the room. He quickly ordered a song and threw the microphone into air. Catching the microphone, the song started and he started singing. His energy was strong and his language was crude but innocent in the song because it wasn't about the crude words but the strength.
I'm back to put it in motion
I'm back to tell you no lies
Sit back and feel the emotion
I'm back to keep it alive
I remember after Maka talked about her mother she started out the window. Maka doesn't understand music because it's like she's trying to solve an equation but when she isn't trying she understand. Maka had more to say about her mother and father but she didn't know how. She wanted to say something and she was treating it like a formula. So without trying, she sang what she wanted to say. There were no equations or misunderstanding. She sang about finding where she belonged and that she can achieve her dreams.
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well,
There's many tales I've lived to tell
I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing
I remember after Tsubaki fought her brother she cried so hard but afterwards she wiped way the tears. Tsubaki talked about the right and wrong. She knew what she did was right but also felt wrong. She gently spoke about her brother then stated that she was fine. Smiling, she asked different question but the depressing mood was still in the air. She wanted the mood to lighten up but it stayed stiff and sad. Her eyes grew wide and teary as the mood affected her. Tears fell but she smiled and sang to us about her new strength.
I want to go there, this time I'm not scared
Now I am unbreakable, It's unmistakable
No one can touch
No one can stop me
My memories keeping me sane and intact. My friends sang as if no one was there, yet as if they wanted to be heard. It was like I was invisible to them and they sang with no regret or embarrassment. As if I was invisible to them but that's okay... I don't mind just listening to them.
"Liz! Liz!" Patti shouted out as she ran towards Liz.
"What happen?" Liz feared that something wrong had happen to Patti. Ever since the event of Kid's kidnapping, Liz has feared about what could happen to Patti.
"Did you hear the news?" Patti asked once she was in front of Liz.
"Did they find Kid?" Liz wished that they finally found Kid.
"No, about Maka!" Patti began "She was attacked!"
"By the same man who took our Kid?" Liz wondered if there was a connection and worried about the safety of everyone.
"Maka described the person as light-skinned and hair that passed their ears."
Liz wanted to cry because she thought that maybe they finally would have a lead. Liz took a deep breath for she knew that right now a friend was hurt. "Come on, Patti. We should check on Maka."
"She's in the infirmary getting check." Patti pointed out.
"Let's go."
No One POV
Kid flinched away from his memories when he heard the door slam open. Storming inside was Gopher who was glaring dangerously at Kid.
"How do I kill her? Tell me!" Gopher screamed out as he pointed at Kid.
Kid eyes narrowed as he carefully watched Gopher. "What are you talking about?"
"That Maka girl! How do I kill her?" Gopher stomped closer to Kid.
Kid realized that the reason why the group hasn't "visited" him in days is because they have been plotting on how to kill Maka. They weren't stopping with just Kid, no they were searching for another. Kid was actually glad Gopher came because not only did he tell him the plan they have but also that Maka was all right. Yet Gopher still attacked her and that was unacceptable to Kid. Kid clenched his teeth as he managed to hold down a small growl.
"Now why do you think I will tell you anything." Kid smirked, mocking Gopher for his stupidity.
"You will tell me!" Gopher angrily used one hand on Kid's neck to slam him more into the wall.
Kid stared at Gopher unfazed, still smirking. "Never."
Gopher pushed his hand harder against Kid's neck, keeping a painful grip on it. Kid twisted, trying to pull away from Gopher but once Gopher felt Kid trying to loosen the grip Gopher used both his hands to choke Kid.
"Tell me." Gopher voice was low and his fingers digged into Kid's flesh.
Kid stopped twisting and showed no sign of wanting to speak so Gopher let his hands tighten and his nails to draw blood. Kid's eyes widen once he felt the need for air and the stinging pain of open cuts.
"Then die."
Gopher was about to give more pressure but he felt a hard grip on his shoulder then suddenly he was tossed across the room. A painful crash was heard from a body slamming into the wall. Once Gopher's hands were off Kid's neck, Kid gasped harshly for air. Gopher groaned and opened his eyes to see who has thrown him into the wall. When he noticed who has thrown him, Gopher gasped softly and turned to look at Kid. Kid was panting for air, his neck was forming dark bruises, and blood was sliding out of new cuts. Gopher looked away from Kid and started in the cold eyes of Noah.
Knocking on the infirmary door, Liz hoped Maka wasn't too hurt because they were good friends but also Liz knew Maka would be a great help in finding or rescuing Kid. The door creaked open to reveal Soul.
"Hey. Came to check on Maka?" Liz nodded while Patti giggled softly.
"Come on in. She's over there." Soul pointed to the bed closest to the window.
On the bed, Maka was sitting up with a patch on her face and two on one arm. No real damaged was done to her but what Liz thought was surprising was that Chrona was in the room, holding Maka's hand. Liz turned to look at Soul who just smiled and walked past Liz and went to stand next to Maka.
"Hey, you got visitors." Soul smirked revealing his sharp teeth.
"Liz. Patti. How are you two?" Maka smiled brightly, pleased to have visitors.
"Fine. We were just worried about you." Liz really wanted to ask about Chrona but knew that this wasn't the right time. Yet not everyone was thinking the same thing...
"Hehehe. Maka and Chrona are HOLDING HANDS!" Patti stabbed her finger towards Maka's and Chrona's hand.
In a split second, Maka and Chrona turned completely red and pulled each other hand from the other. Liz and Soul face-palm while Patti laughed.
"I... I... I have to go!" Chrona barely uttered the words before Chrona ran out the room.
"Wait, Chrona!" Maka shouted for Chrona but Chrona was long gone.
"Hehe... I'm sorry, Maka." Patti grinned innocently.
Maka glared at Patti but dropped her glared and sighed once she saw Patti grinning innocently and Liz concern face. Maka knew that Liz and Patti are still having a hard time with Kid and they both needed full support from their friends.
"It's okay. I'll talk to Chrona later." Maka smiled politely.
"So... Maka, who attacked you?" Liz asked.
Soul glanced at Maka and smirked. "You two are going to love hearing this." Maka smirked confidently at Patti and Liz.
Noah noticed the new colors on Kid's pale neck and the blood on Gopher's hands.
"Gopher, we need to talk." Noah voice was calm but the glare in his eyes showed anger.
"Yes, Noah-sama..." Gopher peeled himself off the wall then left the room first.
Noah waited till Gopher left the room for him to exit and quietly closed the door behind him. Kid breathed out in relief because Noah didn't let Gopher keep hurting him. Kid wanted to leave but felt his arms and legs numb from handing and making no movements. Kid looked up quickly when he heard distant voices. Noah and Gopher? The words can't be formed but one voice sounded angry and the other voice was low. Kid didn't want to know what they were speaking about. He didn't want to hear other people reactions to others when he couldn't interact with his friends. He wanted to go back. Go back to here he should be.
Kid suddenly thought about how he must look. Kid knew Black Star would be disappointed in him. He knew Liz would freak out. He had no clue what Patti would do because she was unpredictable. He knew Soul would say that he was being uncool. He knew Maka would overreact. Kid knew he probably looked pathetic. He didn't want anyone to see him this way. Kid could still hear the distant voices but he didn't want to hear them. He didn't want to do anything with them. He didn't want to be here yet he couldn't go home when he was being pathetic. Kid took in a deep breath and remembered that his friends sang when their words weren't enough. When actions wouldn't show their feelings. They sang to show others their soul and to be listened. Kid sang with so much emotion it was as if his friends could hear him.
And I've give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
"I knew people could be stupid but really?" Liz couldn't believe what Maka had told her. Liz knew that Medusa was clever because she tricked them before but the new enemy. Were they really that dumb? What was running through Liz mind were ways on tricking the new enemy. Too easy.
"It seriously happened." Maka reassured, nodding her head.
"The fight wasn't that easy, thanks to Maka, but getting information from the attacker was easy." Soul chuckled.
"Hey! The fight wasn't my fault!" Maka pouted at being blamed.
"Um... If you recall, it was your fault." Soul taunted back at Maka.
"MAKA-CHOP!"
Liz watched in amazement as Maka was still able to smash a book into Soul's head after being in a fight a while ago. Patti giggled when Soul went tumbling to the floor from the impact of the book.
"Anyways... I don't understand how a name and book title is going to help us." Liz didn't think they made trackers for books.
"The book title would mean nothing if the book wasn't in our school." Maka smirked and Liz held her breath because she felt if she let it go the new lead will go way too.
Noah heard the fresh voice of singing echoing throughout the hallway and rooms. He looked down to see Gopher still sitting on the floor from begging but Gopher was also listening to the soft voice. The voice was sweet and beautiful. One would think it was a professional singer but Noah knew otherwise. The singing was coming from the direction of where Kid was being held.
"Gopher, go check to see if you can find the girl again." Noah wanted to get rid of Gopher for the moment.
"Yes, Noah-sama." Gopher stood up and walked out the church.
Noah left the main church area and walked through the hallway. Many doors were in the hallway, from the left and right were doors. Walking further into the hallway, Kid voice got louder and louder till Noah was in front of the door where Kid was. The song and singing made Noah feel an ache inside himself.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Noah slowly opened the door to hear Kid stop singing. Noah stared at the dark color on Kid's fragile looking neck. Noah moved forward as Kid watched him carefully. Noah looked at side of Kid's neck to see the blood on him but the cuts were already healing.
"What do you want?" Kid asked. Noah looked away from Kid's Neck and looked at his eyes. Beautiful. They were filled with strong emotions and had a hard cold stare.
"I heard you singing. Why were you singing?" Noah felt something strange when he saw Kid's eyes soften.
"I was remembering my friends." Noah smiled slightly.
"Why were you remembering them?" Kid stayed silent for a moment, thinking carefully what to say.
"Memories... Memories make me feel sane." Noah looked at Kid with concern. Insanity?
Noah looked at Kid's sad expression and then back at his neck. Noah touched the side of Kid's neck that had blood on it, trailing his finger down the structure of Kid's neck. Kid shuddered slightly and opened his mouth to say something but didn't know what he wanted to say. Noah placed one of his hands on Kid's shoulder and the other one on the side of Kid's face. Using his hand, Noah tilted Kid's head thus exposing his neck some more he lowered himself to the crook of Kid's neck. His breath was warm on Kid's cold skin causing Kid to shuddered some more. Noah then gently used his tongue to clean away the blood on Kid's neck. Kid gasped softly and he arched his neck more. Noah was shock with the motion Kid did but was fine with it. Noah place soft kisses on his neck.
"Ah... Stop." Kid groaned when Noah once again ran his tongue on his neck.
"I said stop." Kid felt the room become hot and his face felt warm. Noah went to the crook of Kid's neck and started to suck on the sensitive skin. Kid body twitched at the feeling he was receiving yet his hand clenched at the anger he was feeling towards Noah.
"I said STOP!" Kid used his leg to kick Noah away from him. Kid felt the numbness in his leg but used his strength to kick Noah with his leg. Noah didn't expect the kick so he was surprised when he felt pain at his waist and when he felt himself crash into the wall. Noah pushed himself off the wall and brushed the stones off him. Once he was done, he angrily turned towards Kid. Kid glared back at Noah not letting Noah get the best of him.
"Memories make you feel sane?" Noah chuckled darkly. Kid stayed silent for in the pit of his stomach he felt that whatever was about to be said will disturb him.
"You're memories are nothing but lies!" Noah angrily stated.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kid didn't know if Noah was lying or not.
"I mean what I said." Noah laughed at the expression of Kid.
"You're lying. My memories are true." These are the harsh words that can change memories.
"No. Do you remember Baba Yaga's Castle?" Noah grinned at Kid.
"What do you know about Baba Yaga's Castle?" Kid knew the place and the mission.
"I asked you a question. Do you remember Baba Yaga's Castle?" Noah grinned disappeared when Kid didn't answer him.
Kid started at Noah for a while deciding whether to say or not. "Yes. I remember that place." Kid didn't think that the area was important to Noah so he thinks it safe to talk a little.
"What do you remember about it?" Noah grin appeared on Noah's face again.
"I remember... that it's a mission my team is going to do." Kid still tried not to say too much though.
"That's where you are wrong, Kid." Noah grinned even more that it almost looked insane. "It already happened and you were there."
This is the fake logic that makes memories change.
Maka, Liz, Patti, and Soul walked to Maka's apartment after Maka was let out of the infirmary. The walk to Maka's apartment wasn't far but the silence just didn't sit well with Liz.
"Maka, why were you attack?" Liz thought that there could be a connection between her and Kid thus finding the next target.
"Well, my attacker said that his orders were for him to assassin me and take my soul." Maka shrugged not fully knowing the reason.
"Hmm... That's weird." Liz now didn't know if there could be a connection since the reason Kid was kidnapped for being a Shinigami.
"Why was Maka out at the desert?" Patti questioned very curiously since normally people stayed inside Death City unless they were on a mission.
"Hmm? Haven't you heard? Soul became a death scythe and we can fly." Maka thought everyone knew about her and Soul.
"Eh? When did this happen? Where did you get the witch soul?" Maka and Soul looked at each other confused.
"Umm... at Baba Yaga's Castle... Don't you remember?" Maka looked at Liz and Patti concerned.
"What? We still haven't done that mission."
"We finished that mission a couple of days before Kid got kidnapped."
