Chapter 4: Two More Characters?
Lord Death's P.O.V.
"Soooo we're back baby!" I yell running into Death Room and striking a dramatic pose.
"Lord Death, serious as ever." Stein muttered, as he walked in behind me, going off to talk to Marie.
"Hey everyone! We need to talk to you!" I called to everyone, whose heads all turned.
I pulled Kid into my side, he hadn't said one word at all since meeting with Dayna. I looked down to see him to stare off into the distance. Marie, Stein, Miyu, Spirit, and Kami holding Maka were gathered before me. Dayna luckily walked in at the last moment, and stood silently behind me.
"So whats up Dad? Why does my brother look so down?" Miyu questioned, looking concerned.
"I can answer that." Dayna spoke up from behind me. "From my view as a psychologist, I believe Kid is suffering from the beginning stages of OCD. But, we can't medicate him as a mortal, his Reaper body would reject the medicine and possibly make it worse. In my professional opinion, everywhere Kid goes regularly should be made symmetrical. Possibly we can trick the OCD into reverse, making Kid be healthy mentally."
Kid was still staring ahead, and everyone was just staring at Dayna.
"You mean, I am not perfect?" Kid said in a tiny voice.
"Death the Kid, look me in the eye." Dayna put her hand on his shoulder, Kid looked up timidly. "OCD is very common, and your not alone. But you know what, the best chance of beating this is to believe you can. So yes, your not perfect, but no one is. But your you, and that is what makes you awesome, and Death the Kid. The kick-ass son of Lord Death, who can beat anything."
"Kid." Miyu walked up to kid. "Look at me. Your my brother, and I love you. And we can beat this ok?" She laid her arm over his shoulder.
"I...am going to go for a walk. See you later..." Kid said quietly, walking slowly down the guillotine hall.
I watched him leave, and then turned to Dayna and Miyu.
"Maybe it's best we let it sink in. Meanwhile I am going to call renovators and builders to make the mansion where we live symmetrical." I said, turning to my mirror.
I laid my hand on it, and commanded it to call Azusa. It rippled, then her face showed. She was sitting in a chair, business like and serious.
"Azusa, did you hear that? I know I rigged your mirror to be able to pick up on sound." I asked her.
"I did. Do you want me to go to your mansion and help the workers?" Azusa replied.
"You always know whats best don't you?"
"I try. Anyway Lord Death, I'll go now. Do you want me to take charge and arrange everything?"
"That would be a weight off my chest, thank you." I said, and the mirror returned to reflecting my mask.
A couple of hours passed...
I was pacing around the Death Room, worried about my son. I could always check the mirror but he senses when I do that and he doesn't like it. Spirit, Kami and little Maka left, heading for their home. Miyu was just reading, but she was worried to, I can tell, she kept fidgeting. Justin had appeared, and walked over to Dayna. Talking, then flirting with her like usual. Honestly, they like each other, just get together already, sheesh!
I heard footsteps and turned to the entrance, to watch Kid walk back down the hall, two ratty clothed girls following him timidly. The taller one acted tough, but as soon as she saw me, her act dropped. The smaller one kept getting distracted, and the older one would take control. Kid walked right up to me, and I opened my arms. I hugged him, and he stepped back to beside the two unknown girls.
"Father, I would like you to meet Liz and Patti. They will be my weapon partners!" Kid announced, and I sighed, not surprised.
He picks two very attractive girls as weapon partners, he is a male. Hormonal and impulsive, heck talk to Spirit, the flirty jerk.
"How did you meet them exactly?" I asked, bored.
"They threatened death on me."
"SAY WHAT?!" Miyu shouts, me mirroring her thoughts.
" I was minding my own business, walking down a street when Patti called "Help!" I immediately turned to help her the hero that I am. She pulls a gun out from behind her back, and motions me to step into the dark alley. I turn to watch her sister, Liz, transform, and Patti became the weapon. They claim it's because Liz likes to threaten, while Patti lures. They threatened death, and etc etc etc. Hey I am the son of Lord Death, good luck with the whole killing thing."
"So why are they here?" I ask, confused.
"They held me up, I like them already." Kid shrugs.
I face-palm, and turn to my mirror, commanding it to call Stein and Sidney, both very good examiners. Luckily, they were in the same classroom, looks like discussing partnering at my school. Sidney was sitting backwards on the chair as Stein was mirroring her, but writing on the board also.
"Hey! Feel up for a challenge?" I asked loudly, and they both turned.
"Sure Lord Death, what's up?" Sidney asked, getting up and coming over. Stein just rolled over on his chair.
"Can you come to the Death Room and assess a partnership?" I ask, and they both nod.
Minutes later, they both show up, Stein in, of course, his chair. And Sidney walking alongside, calmly just walking.
"So, Kid found some partners. I say he versus Stein, we can check his skills that way. Sidney, just step in if needed. And FIGHT!" I command, laughing.
"In the Death Room father, really?"
"Sure! Why not?"
"Alright, but don't go easy on me Stein. Patti! Liz! Transform!" Kid shouted, and the weapons landed in his hands, him striking a pose.
Stein made the first move, rolling quickly across the room, attempting to use his soul wavelength. But before he could Kid shot his hand and his arm. Stein cursed, and attempted again, from different angles. This fight lasted for about five minutes, both seemly equaling getting shots on each other. Sidney called it off, and brought Stein off to the discussed, nodded and turned to us.
"We announce the new partnership of the Thompson sisters, Patti and Liz, to Death the Kid, no explanation needed." Stein waved his hand in their general direction.
"Me next! I want to meet and greet and complete a pairing." Miyu complained.
"Tomorrow darling, it's time for you to go to bed. KID! You too! Head on home now, Stein and Sidney, go with them?" I asked, and they nodded. "I will be home after I clear up some things!"
"Alright, good night Daddy!" Miyu smiled, and kissed me on the cheek,
"Have an awesome night!" Kid said, hugging me.
Miyu and Kid joined arms, and skipped down the hall.
"LOVE YOU!" I shouted after them, and they responded 'Love you too!'.
"Ok Dayna!" I pulled her aside. "I am giving you tomorrow off, I swear if you don't do something with Justin, I will Reaper Chop the both of you! You like him, he likes you! Oh, and, no talking back!"
"Thank you Death!" Dayna said happily, and then skipped over too Justin, dragging him down the hall.
Another good day at the DWMA, wonder what tomorrow will bring...
