A/N: Here is chapter five as promised! I have to say though: this was by far my favorite chapter to write! I genuinely enjoyed writing the Legend of The Queen. I had so much fun coming up with ideas for the legend! Also in this chapter, I have Kidd explain the generations of Shinigmai to BlackStar. I know that in the Manga, it states Kidd is directly descended from Lord Death and that the only other mentioned Shinigami is the Kinshin. But in my story, there are thousands of Shingamis in Kidd's bloodline. Anyway, here is chapter five! Enjoy my darlings! I know I did! ;)


Chapter Five

*BlackStar's POV*

"BlackStar." Kidd said looking up at me.

"Yeah, Kidd?" I asked.

"Lay Maka down on the couch so she can continue sleeping. When you are done, follow me. We need to talk some more." Kidd said as he got up and left the room.

I gently took Maka from my lap and laid her down on the couch, making sure her head was settled comfortably on a pillow. As I was standing up, Kidd came back into the room with a black fleece decorated in skulls. He walked over to the couch and leaned down to put the blanket over Maka. He put the blanket on her with such care and love, that I was taken aback. 'He is being so gentle. And the way he looks at her. I wonder…Is it possible that Kidd likes Maka?' I thought to myself.

Kidd stood back up and motioned for me to follow him. I followed him over to his bookshelf by the staircase. I watched as he pushed eight books to each side of the middle shelf. A door slid open in the bookcase to reveal a long corridor. Kidd grabbed a lantern hanging from the wall and walked into the corridor, leaving me to follow him. I took one last look at Maka, then followed Kidd into the corridor.

The door closed behind as I followed Kidd into the corridor. As I followed him down the hallway, I noticed strange engravings in the wall that seemed to glow black, green, and amber. 'How strange.' I thought to myself.

"Hey Kidd. What's with the strange engravings on the wall?" I asked him, becoming more curious.

"Those are the names of each Shinigami, since the beginning of times. You will see that each black engraving is formed to connect to the amber engravings. This signifies that the Shinigami was married. The green engravings underneath them signify any children the Shinigami and his wife had. Altogether, these engravings are here as a family tree of sorts. And the end of the corridor, you will see my name underneath my Father's and Mother's. And once I find my queen, her name will appear beside mine. And any children we have will appear underneath our names." Kidd replied.

"So do they appear by magic?" I asked, very intrigued by all of this.

"Yes. The walls were made by a powerful wood nymph, Serena. Angelica, the oldest witch, helped Hades, the first Shinigami, put magic into the wall, thus creating the family tree." Kidd said nostalgically.

"Oh okay. Wait…you said once you find your "queen". What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Ahhh. My queen is the lady that will rule beside me. She will be the fairiest of them all. She will have a strong will and soul, but a kind and tender heart. She will have incredible wisdom and powerful abilities. And I will love her and she will love me. And each day our love will grow stronger and stronger. She is essentially my soul mate. But I haven't found her yet. I guess the legend of the queen is just that. A legend." Kidd replied sadly.

"Legend of the Queen?" I asked.

"They say a Shinigami finds his queen before he comes into full power. He won't know that she is his queen, but there will be signs surrounding them. First of all, they will have similar hobbies and interests. And their personalities will be opposites, but they would complete each other. And the Shinigami would feel a strong need to protect her. He would not be able to live without her. The love that Shinigami and his queen have for each other would be able to heal even the most serious wounds. The Shinigami and his queen would be able to speak to each to each other telepathically." Kidd pause for a moment in his story, then continued.

"But their bond would go beyond that of the physical and mental sense. Their souls would be connected. If the Shinigami or his queen was to turn their Soul Perception on, they would see a thin black thread connecting their souls. It is called the Black Thread of Fate. The Black Thread of Fate insures that their souls are connected permanently. It also ties their fates together. If one of the two them dies, the other would to. Neither one of them would be able to live without the other. But all of this is just a legend." Kidd said remembering the story his father told him when he was little.

"It sounds so…surreal." I said very intrigued.

"Ah, here we are." Kidd said stopping at a door. He opened the door to reveal room with thousands of different shaped and colored mirrors spiraling towards the ceiling.

"What is this place" I asked incrediously.

"This is the Room of Mirrors. Each mirror is linked to a person in the world. The mirror will not only show what a person is doing right now, but the nature of their souls as well." Kidd replied.

"Okay. Well what are we doing here?" I asked clueless.

"I am here to find Soul's mirror." Kidd replied while he dragged me to the middle of the room to stand on a crystal platform. I watched as the platform began to rise upward until we came to a stop in front of a black and red framed mirror.

"Let's see what the nature of Soul's soul is." Kidd said. He proceeded to tap on the mirror eight times and image of Soul popped up.

"Oh. This is not good." Kidd said in a grave voice. I looked around Kidd to see that the image of Soul's soul was shaped like a demon covered in black blood.

"The Madness." I said quietly.


"Kidd. What are we going to do?" I asked nervously.

Kidd was a silent for a moment, then he spoke. "Well first I want you to go to Professor Stein's office with Tsubaki. I want you and Tsubaki to train with Professor Stein on how to shape a soul back to its original state. Other than myself, only Stein can help you with that. As for me, I am going to take Maka back to my mansion and see to it that she gets her rest. At exactly eight o' clock tonight, you, Tsubaki, Liz, Patti, Stein, and Ms. Marie are to meet up at my house. We are going to come with a concrete plan to destroy the madness in Soul's soul." Kidd said to me hurriedly.

"Alright." I said to him. I thought for a moment then spoke to Kidd again.

"I don't suppose you have a mirror that will take me to Tsubaki, do you?" I jokingly asked.

"Yeah, I do. Hold on a minute." Kidd said to me. He tapped his left foot eight times on the platform to get it to move upward. After a few minutes the platform stopped in front of a mirror with katanas on the frame.

"Just step through the mirror and you will be transported to Tsubaki." Kidd said as he turned to me.

As I stepped forward, I saluted Kidd and then walked into the mirror.


*Kidd's POV*

I watched BlackStar leave through the mirror as I lowered the platform. Once the platform was on the floor again, I stepped off. I walked through the door, shutting it on my way out.

As I walked back through the corridor, I thought about what I had told BlackStar on the way to the Room of Mirrors. 'Now that I think about it, Maka and I do have similar hobbies and inerests. And our personalities seem to complete each other. Could it be that Maka is my queen? That the Legend of the Queen isn't actually a legend? That it is real?' I thought to myself.

'But that would mean...that I like Maka more than just a friend. But when did I start liking her like that?' I thought with surprise. I began to think back to all the times I had spent with Maka. Maka and me at the party in mansion. Maka and I fighting the Kinshin with our Spartoi group. The final thought that went through my head was of Noah sending that dumb asymmetrical man to kill Maka. At the time, I thought that the rage I felt at the thought of Maka being dead was because of her being one of the only people to help my madness. But now...I realize it was because I had a crush on Maka.

'How did I not see it until now? That Maka means more to me than just a friend?' I thought to myself with a bit dismay and shock. I looked up just in time to see that I was about to walk straight into the wall. I stopped immediately so that I didn't run into the wall. I lightly pushed a skull into the wall eight times and the door opened into my study.

I walked over to the couch where Maka was sleeping peacefully and looked down at her. 'So beautiful.' I thoughtto myself as I picked her up bridal style into my arms. I walked over to my window opened it. I summoned Beezlebub then and flew out the window towards the Gallows Manor.
