Progress
Kid's POV
I walked up the academy's stairs, my hands in my pockets and my eyes closed. On either side of me were the twins who were bickering over something. I opened one eye. Why won't ask me the answer for this simple topic? They then leaned forward and did so, I smiled. There we go. (1) We walked into the classroom and the moment I did, "Kid!" I turned to see Maka and Soul approaching me,
"Oh, hello, Maka, Soul, how are you today?" I greet politely,
"Lord Death wanted to see you." The meister told me and I nodded,
"Alright, thank you for informing me." Liz leaned forward,
"Want us to come, Kid?" I shook my head,
"No thank you, you and Patty may head off to class now." I said starting to walk down the hall, my eyes closed and my hands in my pockets still.
I opened the door and stepped into my father's room, he stared at his mirror. I stopped on the platform, "You called for me, Father?" I expected him to greet me with his normal jolly song but I received the opposite.
"Hello, Kid."
"Is something wrong, Father?" He dipped his head,
"Yes . . . You know what today is don't you?" I was silent for a moment and examined the white floor,
"Yes . . . how could I forget . . . the day when Mom died . . ." Lord Death nodded,
"Yes and the day before your sister ran away." I narrowed my eyes. Kat . . . the very reason Mom died . . . My father was silent before he faced me,
"I know what you're thinking, Kid, and it's not her fault. It was an accident." I stomped my foot, outraged,
"Accident my foot! If she had moved out of the way in the first place, Mom wouldn't have jumped in front of her and been hit!" I stormed out and slammed the door shut behind me. I examined the floor then sighed, slumping against the door. I thought my anger would have eased over the years, but it hasn't.
"Ne, Kid-kun~." I jumped and turned to see Patty and Liz peering around the corner.
"Patty, Liz what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go to class."
"We were worried about you." Patty said and I sighed then smiled,
"Well, there's no need to be. I'm fine." Liz raised an eyebrow,
"Ya sure?"
"Yes! Now come on, we'll be late to class." I stormed off leaving two dumbstruck girls staring after me.
I sat down, ready for class. Stein wheeled in on his chair and as expected, fell. Class went as it always did: disruptions from Black*Star which lead him to being kept in the hallway, Tsubaki sighing and sweatdropping at her meister, Patty making a giraffe out of paper, Liz painting her nails, Soul snoozing while Maka took notes and listened to the lesson intently. Then there was me. I was half paying attention while the other half of my mind wandered into the fragments of memories from that day. Yes that one day that went from beautiful and sunny to gloomy and rainy. I sighed. I remember snapping at my sister, accusing her of Mother's death. It was an accident but I just had to blame someone with all of the rage bubbling inside of me. And I did that again when Father spoke to me. My heart sank. Kat . . . I'm sorry for treating you that way . . . please come back . . . I closed my eyes then heard whistling and opened my eyes just in time to see a scalpel plant itself next to me, shivers ran up my spine. Light struck Stein's glasses, "Well, well, well, never thought I'd have to get the attention of Lord Death's son during class." I sweatdropped and swallowed, my weapon partners stared at me with worry as did my other friends while the rest of the class stared in surprise. I could tell they were thinking the same thing as Stein. I forced a smile,
"S-sorry, I dozed off for a minute."
"Well, try not to." The professor smiled, "Unless you want to be my next specimen." Everyone in the class shuddered,
"I'll try, professor."
. . .
Class finally ended and I was preparing myself to leave when my friends caught up to me. "What's wrong, Kid?" Maka asked worriedly,
"What do you mean?"
"First time I've seen you zone out during class." Soul said, "Doesn't seem like you." I looked at the floor quickly,
"Oh."
"What's on your mind?" Black*Star asked.
"Nothing." His partner shook her head,
"We all know something's wrong, Kid." Tsubaki said then she looked at me with her deep blue eyes, "Please tell us what's on your mind, we can help you." I closed my eyes and bowed my head, my hair shadowing my face
"No one can help me . . ." Then I walked away, leaving everyone behind.
I walked out of the academy and to the cemetery; I stopped in front of my destination. I stared at my mother's grave and swallowed, "Hello, Mother." I smiled in a melancholy manner then I looked at the sky, "How are things up there? I hope you are doing well." I looked back at the grave, "I know I come here often but I just keep thinking about what I did eight years ago. I guess coming here makes me feel better." I knelt on the grass and rested my hands together on my lap, "Please . . . please help me. I regret saying those things to Kat so much I just want her to come back. Please help me, what can I do to bring her back to Father and I?" A breeze stirred my bangs and I closed my eyes. Listen with your heart, you will understand. (2) I opened my eyes and looked, my jaw dropped at the girl I saw. The wind blew her long jet black hair; she turned around and saw me. I shakily got my feet, "Kat." I started making my way to her. "Kat! Kat!" I stopped in front of her and leaned forward on my knees to catch my breath, all the while she silently stared at me with a puzzled look on her face. I looked at her, "Kat, I thought I'd never see you again!" She only blinked and I stared at her, "What's the matter? Why won't you say anything?" Then her image started to blur, like a hologram with poor reception. I reached out to touch her arm only to feel nothing there, she continued to stare at me with that confused look in her golden eyes and I started to panic, "Kat! What's going on!" She vanished leaving me unanswered. I stared in grief and disbelief then fell to my knees. "So . . . she really wasn't there . . . she's still gone."
"Yes, but do you know what to do now my son?" My mother's voice echoed in the cemetery and I stood up.
"Yes . . . I need to find her . . . find Kat and tell her how sorry I am . . . maybe then things will all go back to normal."
Lord Death's POV
I stared into my mirror which displayed a girl, younger than Kid, sleeping in fetal position under a tree. She had jet black hair with three white stripes on the left side of her head and golden eyes. "Kat . . . I have been watching you ever since you ran away that night . . . how I wish you would come back." Then I sensed it, the darkness of her soul enveloping her. My daughter, Kat the Kid, was slowly denying herself as a Shinigami.
(1) A scene from Ao no Kaori, one of the SERS (Soul Eater Repeat Show) openings. By the way if anyone happens to know if and when SERS is coming out, please let me know.
(2) Don't ask why I put a Pocahontas quote in here it practically forced its way through my typing fingers. I do not own Pocahontas.
Poor Kid, he wants nothing more than to find his sister and apologize for accusing her. Hope to see you next chapter! :D
