New Lives

by Fallen Guardian

This is a continuation and runAlong of 'New Bonds'. It will be centering around Kid and Liz and start roughly where the original does. I also may be bumping up the rating if i have to because i do plan on jumping into some darker themes for the plot leverage of New Bonds, but as you can see these two only have one genres in common so it will be more upbeat on average. Have a fun

Chapter Four: Falling through my Veins

Kid's POV

I couldn't take it any more, the thoughts were burning in my head, consuming everything else, I couldn't take it, not anymore, all I could think about was her, only her, it was maddening, and then I would remember the ring and it would be to much, my symmetry wouldn't help me, so tonight, on memory of the ring I had found, the promise ring, I made a promise to myself to not take the madness anymore {maybe it's the madness of the kishin Asura, or maybe it is just her,}, I'd go and do something, something drastic.

And so I did, with the ring that toped the icing on the cake fit snugly in my pocket and the girl of my apparent dreams in my mind in snuck off into a bar just barely on the inside of Death Cities border that I knew wouldn't card me.

I drank to forget. The more I drank the more I forget, and the more I forgot the sadder I got and the less I remembered why I was drinking which in itself made me sadder, and I kept drinking until the point I forgot why I was drinking, which I guess could be counted as a victory, and I was drinking just for the purpose of drinking and the bliss. And I kept on drinking, until I couldn't drink any more, and then I drank some more. It was funny, that in some cruel 'humorous'twist of ironic fate the last thing I saw was the girl I was trying to forget, funny, how the mind works that is, and then,, there was nothing, not even the blackness, just a hollowness…

Liz's POV

I don't know how, I don't know why, but I found myself outside of a high class symmetrical bar as I was absent mindedly walking around thinking and working about Kid, the past few days he's been acting strange, and strand for him and then some that is, and he's been avoiding me, and that hurt, it hurt a lot, and so that nobody would know that I was hurting inside and not having the courage to tell them why I started avoiding people. Of course, some of the people who noticed this cause and effect reaction, or at least the him avoiding people then me doing just the same were able to put two and two together, but I was glad that they didn't confront me, and wait, symmetrical,bar? Oh no, Kid!

I walked in just in time to see only one person, Kid, my Kid, and he was surrounded by many, so many, empty bottles of alcohol and falling, giving a week smile as he saw me, then he was out, eyes shut and breathing slowed before he even hit the ground. I was stunned, immobilized by shock for a few seconds before I rushed over to the fallen son of Death and turned him over, gently of course, to check his pulse which was steady like his breath, but still to slow and I was about to call the school when I contemplated what I was doing, if I called them then everyone would know about it and probably some other things and details and things that he didn't want people knowing and it would ruin him, maybe even fatally so, and then I remembered the new teacher, Marie that was sharing a house with professor stein, she could help and she surely wouldn't tell anyone without Kids consent.
