Deaf City

Chapter Two

"Deaf? If she's deaf then doesn't she need to go to another school where there specialize in kind of stuff?" Kidd asked his father.

"Well yes, but Spirit here wanted his daughter to come to this one. And since you are my son, I trust you to take good care of her. Besides you're the only person I know that can do sign language. So thus, I chose you." Lord Death explained to Kidd. Kidd didn't say anything but look at his father. "Come on, it's only for a couple of months."

'Why did you choose to take sign language classes again?' Kidd thought to himself with his head low.

"Fine, I'll take care of her. But just until she's use to the school and I'm done, right?" Kidd asked his father to make sure that all of his' facts are correct. Lord Death just nodded his head in reply.

"You better take care of my darling Maka, you got that?" Spirit warned Kidd, who only nodded his head. You know what they say, like father, like son.

"Yes Spirit, I am fully aware." Kidd said back. Maka was just looking at her father give death glares to Kidd. Then Kidd told her to follow her in sign language. She nodded her head and trailed behind him.

"Oh Kiddo~! Before you leave, you need to know her name is Maka. Maka Albarn. She's going to be in all your classes." The head principal said to his son right before he disappeared around the corner. Kidd decided to go back to class since there was about fifteen or so minutes left before lunch.

When they got the door, Kidd turned around to face Maka and told her that she will be with him during the school hours. Maka nodded her head in response and Kidd opened the door for her. Once she walked inside the whole class stopped what they were doing and stared. Then with Kidd's luck, whispers were going around on who she is and why they were walking in together.

'Great, now rumors are going to start. Just my luck.' Kidd thought to himself.

I walked in after Maka did and went to Stein to tell him everything about the new student.

"Professor Stein this is-"

"Maka Albarn."

"Yes, how did you . . . ?"

"Please, I've known Spirit a long time, as well as his ex-wife. I saw Maka when she was still young. I doubt she'll remember me. So I'm guessing that you already know about her situation?"

"Yes, I'm fully aware of it."

"Hmmmm . . . Well you in for a surprise." Professor Stein said, but before I could ask what he meant, Stein was already introducing her to the class.

"Class this is Maka Albarn. That is all."

"Wow, great introducing." I said sarcastically under my breath.

"Now let's see . . . Ummmm . . . Kim move over to the empty seat next to Ox.

"What?" Kim said.

"Yes! My lovely Kim has come to sit next to me!" Ox yelled. Kim just groaned, but did as she was told.

"Now Kidd will you show Maka to her seat." Stein told me. Of course I followed orders and gestured Maka over to where she will be sitting. Then . . . More whisperings occurred. So did many other questions.

'For sure rumors are going to spread. What did I do to deserve this?' I thought to myself again.

For the rest of the class period, Maka just wrote as many notes as possible so she'll be able to keep up with the rest of the students. But she didn't really need to because unlike her, everyone knew that Dr. Stein was just going to reteach the lesson tomorrow anyway. Finally the bell rang and everybody was gathering they stuff for lunch. Well, the students were mostly like bustling out.

Knowing Maka, she knew the difference between next class and going to lunch, so she wasn't entirely lost. I mean she did go to a high school once before. She gathered up her things and saw that Kidd was talking to some people, she didn't want to disturb him, and so she went to her locker by herself. Luckily, Lord Death gave her, her locker number so she didn't need to bother anyone. And with that she left.

When the bell rang, I gathered up my stuff and was ready to leave with someone called my name.

"Kidd~!" It sounded high and friendly. I turned around to see that Patty had called me over along with the group. I walked over to them, greeted them and talked about random stuff until Black Star asked me about Maka.

"Yeah, who is that Maka person that made Stein had to move Kim, so she can sit next to you?" Liz asked. I'm pretty sure that she wanted to gossip about it to the school.

"Oh yea, her. It's weird apparently Stein knows her parents and a little bit of Maka's childhood too. Anyway, my father told me that I needed to take care of her because she can't hear." I finished explaining. They group looked shock like they've never heard or seem a deaf person before.

"So, she's deaf?" Tsubaki asked. I nodded my head to answer her question.

"Oh, poor girl." Liz said. "I wonder how she does it."

"I don't know, but speak of which where she is?" I asked looking around that class room for her. But there was nobody in class except for our group.

'Ah! Can my luck get any more horrible?' I mentally yelled at myself.

Yay! Chapter Two! I made this one a little longer then how I originally planned, but all well. Nothing I can do about it now. *Shrugs It Off* Anyway, hoped you liked it. If not, I am sorry that I failed as an author. *Sad Face* But anyhow, I would love to say Thank You for the reviews that I got. It made me so happy! *Is Now Crying Tears of Joy* I know Kidd might be a little bit OOC, but I will fix that in due time. I was also wondering if you, as my readers who would like it if I made these chapters longer, if so then tell me in your review. Bye!~ :D
