Prison Break |Part One|

Death the Kid was pacing impatiently back and forth in his prison. He'd been doing this for a little while now, as if expecting Asura to show up any time now. However, Justin hadn't specified when he was going to arrive and that irritated him. Honestly, Kid would already be out if he could have just gotten his hands free of the bindings. Dammit, why didn't he just wait to come with Asura?

He was thankful for one thing though, no one had bothered to see him. The last person inside his prison was Justin. After that a few of his old acquaintances had at least stopped by and peaked in but didn't stay enter. Kid hadn't really been keeping track of time, though, it felt like forever, anyway. The young Shinigami hoped it would stay that way. With the mood he was in, the only people he would want to see were either Justin or Asura. Well, he also wanted to give the twins a piece of his mind… When he heard a knock, he looked up with some hope.

"Hey, Kid-kun, are you awake in here? It's Maka," Maka said from the other side of the door and Death the Kid frowned but stayed silent, "I hope that you don't mind us visiting you, we just want to see how you are doing. Everyone wanted to come in but they told us only a few of us could come in at once. Be ready for some company."

Suddenly the door opened, revealing his weapons, Maka, and Soul. Death the Kid couldn't help but grin when he saw the twins, who looked pretty scared. He had to give them props, it was wise of them to come in with company and not just by themselves. He would have waved if his hands weren't bound, they were fortunate for that too.

"You would have come in without my say so anyway, so what does my opinion matter?" Death the Kid muttered but didn't take his eyes off of the twins, "Anyway, I was actually wanting to see my weapons anyway. Mind if I speak to them alone?"

Maka would have agreed but she knew that Kid wasn't in his right mind. After what the twins had told her, she wasn't quite sure whether it would be a good idea leaving them a lone either way. Besides, judging by the look on his face, whatever he wanted to talk to them about wasn't good. There was no way she was going to allow anything to happen. So, she shook her head.

"Look, Kid-kun, I know that Asura did some pretty heavy mind tricks with your mind but you don't need to be hostile, we're here to help," Maka said sadly before shaking her head at him, "Sorry, no can do, Stein advised us to come in in groups so I can't do that. Besides it's probably best that I don't leave them alone in here with you. You may not understand now, but you will."

Kid shot a death glare at Maka and clenched his fists. Why did everyone have to be such a pain when all he came to do was kill death? It's not like he had any intention of killing them, though if they got more annoying than they just might start to tempt him. A part of him did understand, though, but only because he knew the twins. He knew the twins enough to know that they probably spilled the beans and told them things that they didn't need to know, just to further persuade them to 'fix' him.

"No need to be hostile? You are the ones who locked me up in the first place, isn't that a bit hostile?" Death the Kid snapped and shook his head, now glaring at the girls before glaring back at Maka, "I'll tell you what I told Stein, I'm only here to take care of my father, so if you let me go I'll let you live. Why couldn't you girls just have kept your mouths shut?"

The twins knew better than to let their Meister out because if they did than either he would be hurt more or Death would end up dead, they would allow either. Patty was usually pretty childish but in this kind of situation there was no room for it, not until he was better. Just the thought of seeing her Meister like this made her sad and right now there wasn't much she could do. There wasn't much that anyone could do but wait.

Liz was sure that with time they would have their Meister back, so long as he was locked up here. The longer he was away from Asura the better. At least this way they would be able to cure him of his madness. However, there was a huge possibility that Asura wasn't going to let that happen. Kid may not care about how just possessive Asura was but She and her sister did. It wasn't just possession, it was Asura controlling Kid.

"Somewhere, deep down, I know the real you is there, the one that's still fighting this madness. That is why we told on you, so that you could get help," Liz spoke up sadly, not taking her eyes of their Meister, "The way you are acting now, it's all Asura's doing, he's manipulated you into doing his bidding."

Death the kid wanted to laugh at how wrong they were. It was true that Asura infected him with the madness but he certainly wasn't controlling him. Kid was fully aware of his actions and he didn't necessarily regret them. The young fragment sighed and shook his head.

"Girls, girls, we've been over this before… I'm in full control but then you've always held on to the believe that the old naïve version is still here," Kid tsked and shook his head once more, "And here I thought you were here to talk to me, that's what friends do, right? It seems all you care about is trying to fix something that isn't broken, if anything I'm better than before. Some friends you are."

The girls frowned at Death the Kid's words. It was hard hearing those things come out of his mouth, it was even harder to see their friend like this. Maka took a few steps towards Kid, just enough to rest a hand on his shoulder. At least Kid was alive and no matter what condition he was in, she would help him.

"Liz is right but that's okay, we'll be here to take care of you, every single one of us. Just know that you aren't alone, okay?" Maka said with a bright smile and sat down beside Kid, despite how unsafe she felt, "You know, a lot of the people have wondered how you were after disappearing. We've all missed you but at least you are back now and we don't have to worry too much anymore."

Suddenly a new voice could be heard outside of the room they were in but Kid knew exactly who it was. He would recognize that annoying voice anywhere. It was definitely the voice that belonged to Blackstar. Great, just what he wanted, another person (who he wasn't that fond of) to deal with. Moments later the door opened to reveal said teen.

"Yahoo! the almighty Blackstar has finally arrived," Blackstar said loudly as he grinned over at them before somewhat frowning, "Woah there, Kid, I didn't know you were such a ladies man! Don't tell me you were doing anything while I was gone?"

At first Death the Kid automatically flinched when Maka touched him, not liking it one bit. The young Shinigami quickly managed to get to his feet and created as much of a distance from Maka as he could, or anyone for that matter (obviously ignoring Blackstar.) How dare she touch him! Couldn't she tell that it wasn't a wise move?

"Look, I don't have time for this small talk, so don't bother wasting your time with that. Now, let me repeat myself, let me go before I do something you won't like," Kid snapped and glared at Maka as he continued to back away, accidentally running into Blackstar, "Don't think for a moment that I'd stay here willingly with you all… In fact, I won't be sticking around long."

Blackstar had honestly expected some kind of remark from Kid and was quite surprised when he didn't get one. Instead the only response he got was getting ignored. Then when Kid bumped into him, he nearly fell but he was lucky enough to have such great balance, just enough to stay up. The teen, annoyed at the fact that he was ignored clenched his fists and positioned himself so that he was standing in front of Death the Kid.

"Hey, what's the big deal, Kid? Since when did you become such an asshole?" Blackstar muttered and started to shake the other teen vigorously, "Snap of it, why don't you? I don't care if you are some god, I can still kick your ass if I have too."

Death the Kid broke out in a fit of laughter, "Do you really think you can stand a chance against me? You do realize that I am much stronger than I am before and I could easily kill you, even without my weapons, and it doesn't matter if my hands are bound. After all, you're only an inferior human compared to me."

Kid moved to the side so that he could look at the twins, now donning a serious expression. Even if the twins weren't alone, there was no way they would defy a direct order from him, right? If they knew what was best for them, anyway.

"Liz, Patty, come over here right now and untie my hands, now," Kid commanded forcefully, which seemed to intimidate his weapons but they also seemed hesitant, "Well, what's taking you so long? That's a direct order."

Liz and Patty stood still, completely frozen. Well, more so Liz since Patty seemed to be naturally relaxed, despite the seriousness of the situation. Meanwhile, as tough as Liz was, she could still be intimidated pretty easily. So, the elder sister gulped and looked down at the youngest, who was staring right back at her. The two ever so slowly started to make their way over, however, they were stopped by Maka.

"Didn't you listen to what we were told? We aren't supposed to untie him, you know it isn't safe if you do that," Maka said cautiously as she tightly gripped their arms, doing her best to keep them from advancing forward, "Don't let him trick you into doing what he wants you to do. "

It looked as if Maka got through to them immediately because they stopped and seemed to hesitate once more. However, judging by the way Kid and themselves were exchanging looks, she wasn't going to succeed. After a moment of silence they broke out of her grip and continued making their way towards him. Though, Patty did look behind just long enough for Maka to see her mouth 'Sorry.'

Blackstar made the mistake of taking his eyes off of Kid in order to look at the twins. Of course, Death the Kid took full advantage of this and brought up one of his legs to kick Blackstar forward. There was only so much he could do with his hands bound but at least he had his feet. Since it wasn't a very strong kick, Blackstar was still within a good distance for him to do a jump kick. However, underestimating his imbalance, Kid was already falling, thankfully the twins were there to catch him.

The blue-haired teen just barely managed to stay on foot and it took quite the effort to regain his full balance. He then quickly spun around to do something, however, they were already untying the rope. "Wait, stop!"

As soon as his hands were untied, Kid took full advantage and flexed his wrists. "Man, you have no idea how good it feels to be free of those bindings, my wrists were starting to kill me," Kid commented before sighing before turning stone-faced, "Now that that is taken care of… Liz, Patty, weapon forms now."

Liz and Patty lit up and within seconds were in weapon form, Kid clenching them semi-tightly. Next thing they knew they were being pointed at Blackstar and Maka. Well, this wasn't good for Maka and Blackstar, seeing as neither of them had Soul or Tsubaki with them.

"Now, how about we all play nice and get someone to open that door, hm?"

|Sorry the update took a little bit! Let me know how you feel about it. :) Oh and sorry if the twins seem a bit OOC but eh. xD|
