It was around Six in the morning, the laughing sun had just barely begun to rise up and mock the world in which they all lived,
The current Grim Reaper stood before the mirror as he always did, and he felt a familiar presence enter the Death room.
" Kidd, what brings you here this early in the morning-" Lord Death began in his high-pitched chipper voice, but stopped when he turned around and saw his Son's sleep deprived face!
He was pale, more pale then usual, and there were dark circle under his golden eyes, like he hadn't slept in days!
" Kidd, what's the matter?" He asked, his voice slightly deeper.
" I-I came to ask you something," Kidd began, leaning in the doorway, looking like he was about to collapse!
Lord death hurried over to catch Kidd when he fell over.
" Kidd, you need to get some sleep," He said in his normal voice, with a worried tone.
Kidd tried his best to stand up straight again, and as soon as he got on his feet, he continued.
" Chichue, I need you to answer something for me, can you do that?" He asked his Father, who's face worried expression was hidden behind a cartoon mask.
" Of course, Kidd, what is it?" He replied.
" Its about my mother." Kidd simply stated, having finally regained himself somewhat.
A deathly silence filled the death room, Kidd suddenly felt a strange sense of dread, only he didn't know why,
Or rather, he didn't remember!
" As you already know, your Mother has passed on." Lord death answered, finally breaking the silence.
A wave of frusteration overtook Kidd, he was not going to let his Father avoid telling him the truth this time, he would either be honest with him, or Kidd would just have to find out for himself!
" That's not good enough! You've told me that for years, I already know that she's dead, what I don't know is how, or why?" He shouted, but then fell silent, " I apologize, Chichiue, I shouldn't have shouted." He apologized.
But Lord Death wasn't angry, in fact, he understood the reason behind his Son's frusteration, it was true that Lord Death had kept her cause of death a mystery, and he knew that someday that Kidd would demand answers from him.
" Its alright Kiddo, but theres not much that I an really say about it." He tried to explain to his determined child, but he knew how stubborn Kidd could be.
" Just tell me, Chichiue, I can handle it." Kidd said eagerly.
Lord Death wanted to be honest with him for a change, but he feared what kind of impact the truth would have on his Son's already questionable sanity..
" She, died not long after you were born." He replied,
" But how did she die?" Kidd pressed on.
Lord Death fell silent once again, then spoke," Your better off not knowing, Kidd." He stated grimmly.
" Why not?" Kidd asked. His expression was serious and unwavering.
" Kidd, go home and het some rest." Lord Death softly, avoiding the question.
" So your just going to keep me in the dark again, Huh?" Kidd said bitterly,
He stormed out of the Death room, not speaking a word, but was obviously enraged with his Father,
Lord Death stood silently as he listened to his Son leave, and sighed warily,
The words Kidd spoke stung deeply into Lord Death's soul, it pained him to think that his Son resented him in any way, but he couldn't risk it,
He would not test Kidd's sanity, even if Kidd hated him for it, he would continue to be silent, for his safty!
" I hope that someday, you can for give me, Kidd, Luca..." He said softly, his words laced with the sorrow that plagued him for almost a decade now.
But Kidd could not see the saddness that was apparent behind his Father's mask.
And he never would...
There you go :) I plan on actually giving an imput on what he looks like behind the mask in the future.
