Confrontations
Kid's POV
I followed my friends as we headed into the Death City Public Library since Maka wanted to check out a book that the academy's library didn't have. The doors opened and we all walked in to be greeted by the friendly girl at the desk, "Hello!"
"Hi." I greeted her back.
"What can I help you guys with?" Maka walked up to her,
"Actually I was looking for a book." As they consulted about the book I found myself staring into space.
"Kid? Kid!" I shook my head,
"Huh, what?" I saw Liz staring at me with concerned eyes,
"You ok? You zoned out there." I smiled,
"Oh yes, I'm fine."
"Kitty, mind coming here?" The girl at the desk called up to another girl on the balcony behind the desk. The girl was hidden behind a huge stack of books that she was carrying then she turned enabling me to see her better. She had a cheerful, pace face and her eyes were blue, she had black hair that was put in pigtails and she wore a white shirt and skirt with black tights and shoes,
"Ok, Yomi, I'm coming!" She put her foot on the edge of the first step and slipped, with a cry she threw the many books into the air then I watched as she tumbled down the stairs. I cringed when she slammed onto the floor as did my friends and Yomi. I walked around the shelves of books and up to the stairs where I saw the fallen damsel. She had books scattered everywhere around her and one resting on her head, she moaned then opened her eyes.
"Are you alright?" I asked offering her my hand, she looked up,
"Heh? Oh yes, thank you." She took my hand and I helped her to her feet.
"Well, look at Kid being all gentlemanly." I heard Soul say with a smirk and I looked at him,
"What? There's nothing wrong with helping a young damsel who has fallen." I looked back at the girl and smiled, at her,
"Don't mind him, he's always like that." She nodded and widened her eyes with a gasp; I tilted my head in confusion, "Hm? What is it?" She looked down,
"I-it's nothing, p-please excuse me!" Without another word she ran away with her head bowed and her bangs shadowing her face, my friends and I stared after her,
"What the heck was that all about?" Soul asked,
"Beats me." Liz replied,
"Oh, where's, Kitty Kat?" We turned to see Yomi,
"She just ran away." Maka answered, then Black*Star smirked,
"Probably because she was overwhelmed by the presence of her god." Maka sighed,
"I'm terribly sorry, Miss." Yomi said as she approached the ash blonde bookworm, "Here, I'll show you where the book is." Maka nodded,
"Alright, thanks."
Kat's POV
I stood against a bookshelf away from where I had run into him, my eyes were wide, my hand was over my mouth and my breath was ragged. H-him, wh-why is he h-here I-I didn't except to see him here! I moved my hands over my eyes and sank to the floor, cradling my face in my hands. And h-he actually spoke to me! But it didn't seem like he recognize me, I guess my new self really fools the eye but . . . he should have sensed my soul! I guess his intention wasn't focused on sensing it that why he didn't. "Kat?" I jumped and looked up when Yomi said my name, I saw my fellow employee standing next to me, her brown hair cascading around her face as bent over to look at me.
"Y-Yomi!"
"What's wrong, Kat?"
"O-oh." I looked at my lap, "It's nothing."
"You sure? You don't seem like yourself. Are you sick?" I shook my head,
"No that's not it, but," I stood up, "would it be alright if I leave early today? Maybe some rest will do me some good." She stared at me with her dark green eyes,
"Alright, see you next week." I nodded,
"Yeah, see you." I ran out of the library and slowed to a walk as I entered the streets of Death City. Up above was the moon with its bleeding smile. I gazed at the night sky as I slowly walked. I wonder why its smile bleeds. Cheers and other noises ahead caught my ear; I looked forward to see a crowd of girls, teenagers to young women, standing in front of a stage on the side of the streets, curious, I headed over.
Once at the crowd I realized I could not see amongst the sea of tall people (A/N I love saying that only because it's true as I am a midget XD ) so I tried standing on my tip toes and jumping but sighed as it was to no avail. I looked at some of the girls and noticed that they appeared to be hypnotized, they were smiling yes but it seemed like they didn't smile from the heart; they were like puppets controlled by their puppet master. I tilted my head a little and raised an eyebrow. What's going on here? A hand on my shoulder made me whirl around, I put a fist over my heart as I stared at the two newcomers. Both had white gloves and long black hair that fell to their waist and they wore magician outfits. One wore black and white striped stockings, black boots with a small heel, a red miniskirt, and a white-cuffed, long-sleeved black coat, which fell to the floor, and opened to a V-neck at the waist; under the coat was a black business vest. The same person had red ruffles on the chest area and a red rose on the left breast, on this person's head was a top had with a red band around it and behind the red band to the left was a few solitaire cards, the rim of the hat shadowed the person's face.
The other being was taller than the other by a few inches. They wore black and white striped pants and black boots, a black business vest, and a coat just like the other person's only in red, there were white ruffles on the chest area and a white rose on the right breast. This person had a red hat with a black band that held a few solitaire cards to the right. I couldn't see this person's face either as the rim also hid it. "Say, you're a new face." The person, who had gotten my attention, with an abnormally wide smile said. I stared at them shyly,
"U-um, hello." The person in the red coat stepped up next to their companion,
"Oh, no need to be shy, darling, you're among safe people." I-I don't think so. I turned to leave,
"I-I'm sorry b-but I have to go." The person with the black coat stood in my way,
"Aw why? Surely you can stay for a little fun." They turned me around, holding me by the shoulders and shoving me forward a step,
"S-stop." I stammered and they snickered,
"Kono." The person in the red coat, Kono I assumed, raised their gloved hand and snapped causing a cloud of white smoke to burst around me, I closed my eyes and shielded my face against the fog and wind. When I opened my eyes and lowered my arms, I saw myself standing on the stage the crowd of girls was surrounding. What is going on?!
"Sorry to keep you waiting, ladies." I looked to my left to see Kono and my jaw dropped. Kono is a guy?! With his long hair I swore he was a girl! He had his arms spread and in one of his hands was a black magic wand with white tips. "We have a volunteer for tonight's performance!" Cheers sounded and I began to worry immensely. P-performance?! On my right was the other person who held the same wand Kono had,
"Yes and a lucky volunteer I might add." They smiled causing more cheers to sound. I looked around now in fear,
"Wh-what is going on?!" The anonymous person appeared behind me, holding me by the shoulders,
"A magic act my darling."
"Yes my little robin, a magic act as Neko herself said." (A/N Who caught my little Black Butler reference XD )
I looked at Kono then at Neko, "U-um I should really be going on, it's late and I'm not feeling too well." Neko leaned closed to my face from the side, her red eyes gleaming and a mischievous smile on her face,
"We shall make you feel better; I promise you my little robin." I began to tremble greatly,
"No! Stop!" I screamed,
Kid's POV
I was riding Beelzebub in the night sky, hands in my pockets and the wind stirring my hair. The twins had stayed home since Liz wanted to paint her nails. I sighed. Oh well, it gives me some alone time. "No! Stop!" I looked around after regaining my balance as I had not expected to hear such a scream, my golden gaze drifted to the streets below and I saw two magicians on a stage surrounded by girls, looking closer on the stage I saw the magicians harassing a terrorized girl. I immediately dove down on my skateboard, as I did so I saw the pair had a rose and cards on one side of their outfits and I twitched with fury,
"Unhand her right now, you asymmetrical filth!" The two looked at me, clearly not expecting me to come to the rescue. I flew past them, scooping the girl up in my arms before taking off to the sky once again. Once safely in the night air I looked at the girl and realized with a jolt that she was the girl from the library, Kat I think her name was. She was trembling, her eyes closed and her teeth slightly clenched in fear and she had her hands over her head.
"Excuse me, Kat?" Slowly, she opened her eyes, removed her hands and looked up at me; I smiled at her realizing how cute she was. "Are you alright?" She blinked a couple of times before gasping and looking down,
"Uh! Y-yes."
"Good I'm glad to hear that." Suddenly, something struck the bottom of Beelzebub causing me to lose balance and lose my grip on Kat who was sent flying off my skateboard and into the darkness below. I heard her screaming and once I had gained my balance, dove after her. I saw her form before me: eyes tightly shut in utter terror, her skirt and pigtails whipping in the wind as she plummeted to the city streets below.
Normal POV
Toshio and Tomi walked on the streets heading for home when something made them stop. "Oi, Tomi, do you hear that?"
"Yeah, it sounds like a girl screaming." They looked up to see what they had thought,
"Oh no!" Tomi cried,
"I got her!" His brother replied as he ran forward toward the falling girl, he stretched out his arms and dove, catching and bringing her close to him; he skidded to a stop on the street and moaned before opening his eyes. "Hey, hey are you ok?" Kat opened her eyes halfway,
"Uh?" She looked up into the albino's lime green eyes and gasped, "Uh! You're the boy who saved me a while ago!" Toshio chuckled,
"Glad you remember me." He said as he helped the young girl to her feet,
"Hey, are you ok?" Tomi asked approaching the two, the raven haired girl looked at him,
"Oh, you're Tomi aren't you?" He smiled,
"That's right, I'm glad you're ok . . ."
"Kat." She said with a smile,
"Kat, right, gotcha."
"Hey! Hey!" The trio looked up to see the young reaper descending on his skateboard. Suddenly, Kat's knees gave out and she collapsed into Toshio's arms,
"What the?" Seeing how the girl had completely passed out, the albino picked her up in his arms. Kid landed in front of them,
"Hey, how is she?" The brothers looked at the now sleeping girl and back with a smile,
"She'll be fine." Tomi assured the young Shinigami, "We'll take her to our place to rest up." Kid nodded,
"Alright, thank you." The twins nodded before seeing Kid off as he rode Beelzebub into the darkness of the night. Toshio looked at Kat,
"What are the odds she would meet up with us again?" His brother chuckled,
"And what are the odds that we'd save her again." Toshio nodded,
"Yeah, well we better get her to our place to rest." His brother nodded in reply,
"Yeah." With that the two continued for home.
. . .
"Kono, are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be, Neko."
"Alright then on the count of three. One."
"Two."
"Three." The pair said in unison and together they sent purple sparks from their gloved hands to a box containing snakes in an old dilapidated lair with black arrows everywhere. Slowly, their magic increased and finally a white flash enveloped the area. Silence filled the room as the two magicians stared at the woman in black standing in the center of the platform.
"Madame Medusa, you've finally come back." Neko said as she and Kono knelt on one knee and placed their right hand over their heart before bowing their heads,
"Yes, we would like to welcome you." Her partner added, the witch smiled,
"Yes, it is so good to be back in Death City and this time my plan will succeed." Neko raised her head to look at the snake lady with apologetic red eyes,
"Madame Medusa, I am so terribly sorry for not succeeding in crash landing Death the Kid, my magic had a slight outage when it hit his skateboard." Medusa walked forward, knelt in front of the girl, cupped her face with a hand and smiled,
"No need to apologize my dear, you did well." Neko smiled then bowed,
"Thank you, Madame Medusa." Medusa smiled,
"Yes my plan will succeed this time. Neko, Kono, you will be the next kishins."
Dun dun duuuun uh oh, Medusa's back and she's got another wicked plan up her sleeve! What will happen? Find out in the next chappie, until then sayonara! :D
