This story followes the anime, just so you know.

This story is a sequel to another one of my stories called, 'The Snake Is Back' please read that one before reading this one if you want to be upto speed on everything, thank you. :)

Italics - Means the person is thinking just so you know.

This story follows the anime and so I'm saying that Kid did have a Mother at one point in time. :)

By the way the gang are all around the ages of 18-19 now.

...

"Kid…quit it…that tickles," Maka said between slight giggles, while the Reaper lightly kissed her neck, tickling her skin.

Kid smiled as he stopped tickling the young girl, and just kissed her on her forehead lightly.

The two Meisters were now laying under the covers on Kid's bed as they were having some sweet cuddling time. Maka was now back to wearing only her underwear, while Kid was shirtless, but had pants on now.

"You know, we're going to have to tell someone about us Kid," Maka stated as she sat up in the bed and smiled to the Reaper lying beside her.

"And by 'us' you mean?" Kid asked as he looked to Maka with a raised eyebrow.

"You know what I mean, I know we're not exactly dating or anything, after all since seeing each other after being apart for three years, we've already slept together twice," Maka trailed off slightly as she sighed and looked away from Kid.

"Is that a problem?" Kid asked as he propped himself up on his elbows.

"No, not really, I mean we were never really going out before, but don't you think we're taking things a little fast?"

"Would you prefer it if we took things a little slower then?" Kid asked as he tilted his head to the side slightly in confusion.

"Well I…I don't know, maybe. But we can't keep what's happened between us a secret forever Kid," Maka stated as she slightly now looked back to the Reaper.

"Yeah I know," Kid agreed with a nod as he sat forward and pecked Maka on her forehead again.

Maka smiled slightly as she blushed at the slight peck, "I love you Kid,"

"I love you too, Maka," Kid replied as he pressed his lips to Maka's lightly.

Kid sighed as their lips parted and he lay back down in his bed, "So who do you think we should tell?" he asked as he looked to Maka.

"Beasts me, as long as it's not Soul or my Papa," Maka stated with a slight smile to Kid, 'But I have a feeling that Soul knows already,' she thought before Kid smiled back to her.

Maka sighed slightly as she looked around the room for a minute, 'I have never had a real look at his room,' she thought as she smiled at how everything seemed so perfect and fitting.

The room was quite large, the big king-sized bed was opposite the door, it had two bathrooms on either side of the bed, and two closets on either side of the door. All the paintings on the walls were perfectly aligned with the floor, and not a single thing seemed out of place.

'Typical Kid,' Maka thought with a smile as everything in the room looking perfectly symmetrical.

Then as Maka looked around the room more carefully, taking all the features of it, she noticed a fairly large portrait hung up on the back of the door.

In the portrait there stood a smart looking man, who looked exactly like Kid, expect for his dark green eyes. The man was wearing a plain black suit with matching shoes, and his short jet black and partly white hair was slicked back.

The man was standing beside a chair, and in the chair sat a very elegant looking woman. This woman was wearing a pure white dress that stopped at her knees, it was short sleeved, and the woman was wearing white sandals to match. The woman had jet black hair just like the man standing next to her (but her's wasn't also partly white), and her eyes were a bright shining gold colour, just like Kid's.

"Kid?"

"Yeah?"

"Who's that woman in that picture on the back of the door?" Maka asked, not taking her eyes off the portrait.

Kid's eyes widened as he followed Maka's gaze and glanced to the portrait.

"I mean I assume that man is your Dad without his mask and everything on, but is the woman next to him a friend of his or something?" Maka asked, now slightly glancing to Kid.

Kid didn't answer at first, all he did was stare at the portrait and sighed a little, as he seemed somewhat downhearted.

"Kid?"

"She's my...Mother," Kid finally answered as he looked away from the portrait now.

"Your Mother?" Maka questioned looking surprised.

"What? Did you think I didn't have one?" Kid asked with a slight smirk to Maka.

"Well no, it's just that you've never mentioned her before," Maka stated nervously.

"Yeah well it's not exactly the easiest topic to talk about,"

"What happened to her?" Maka asked, now looking back at the portrait again.

Kid didn't answer at first, he just sighed again instead, "The Kishin killed her,"

"You mean Asura?"

Kid just nodded in reply, "Not too long after he started eating human souls and going against my Father, my parents tried to put a stop to him, but in the process my Mother was killed,"

"Kid…I'm so sorry," Maka sighed slightly, looking worried now.

"My Father was able to stop Asura and left him sleeping beneath the D.W.M.A, but he wasn't able to save my Mother unfortunately," Kid added as he slightly looked away from Maka.

"Wait who was taking care of you when all this happened? You must have been quite young back then right?" Maka asked.

"Your Dad, Death Scythe was taking care of me, since even though My Mother was just a human, she never let my Father fight alone. No matter how much he had told her to stay with me, she just refused and said 'I coming with you, whether you want me to, or not,' and so he finally just give in and agreed in the end," Kid explained with a slight smile on his lips.

"How do you know all this?"

"I was only a few months old when it happened, but there was the often time when I would ask my Father, 'What ever happened to my Mother?' while I was growing up, and so that's how I know about it all," Kid explained as he was now looking back at Maka slightly.

"Can you remember anything about her?"

Kid shook his head in reply, "I only know that the woman in that portrait is her because that's what Father would always tell me, if I ever asked about it," Kid stated a he now looked back to the portrait again.

"Was she crazy about symmetry as well?" Kid asked with a smirk, hoping to lighten the mood a little.

"That's not some gene you know," Kid stated with a smile back to Maka.

"Really? Then why it is always such a big deal to you?" Maka asked, a little confused now.

"Well…my Father was always busy with the D.W.M.A and would hardly ever spend time with me, so I was alone most of time. I wanted to be so much like him when I was young, to me he seemed so strong and brave, I looked up to him so much, he was like my idol. So I tried to be like him, I did anything and everything to make him smile. But nothing I did seemed to keep him happy for long, and it seemed like I could never make him proud of me. I tried to act perfect and wanted everything around me to be perfect, and symmetrical. And I guess in the end it was just a habit that I never grew out of," Kid explained as he thought about how both his, and Maka's hair were now completely out of place and asymmetrical, as he clenched his teeth together at the need to fix it.

'Wow, I never knew there was that kind of reason behind it all. I guess even Kid has some dark past that he'd rather not talk about,' Maka thought with a slight smile.

"You know you'll always be perfect to me Kid," Maka stated as she hugged the Reaper tightly.

Kid smiled as he hugged Maka back, and cupped her cheek, as he lifted her head up so that she was looking him in the eye.

"How did I ever get so lucky to have someone as wonderful and as beautiful as you in my life Maka?" The Reaper asked as he kissed the young girl on the forehead lightly.

"I could ask the same thing about you, Kid," Maka replied as she pecked the Reaper on the cheek.

"Hey do you remember your Mother's name?" Maka asked with a smile, as she changed the subject slightly.

"Err…yeah, I think," Kid nodded, while wondering why Maka suddenly asked that question.

"What was it?" Maka asked, seemed very interested now.

"It was, 'Grace Sliver Star," Kid answered casually.

"That's a beautiful name," Maka smiled happily in reply.

"What about yours?" Kid asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Maka asked, seeming confused now.

"What's your Mother's name?" Kid asked.

"Oh, it's 'Kami', 'Kami Valerie," Maka answered with a smile back on her lips now.

"It sounds lovely, just like yours, Maka Albarn," Kid stated as he lightly pecked Maka on her lips.

"What's she like, your Mother I mean?" Kid asked.

"She's kind and friendly, but also can be very stubborn at times,"

"Sounds like you're a lot like her,"

"Come on, now you sound like my Papa," Maka joked as she pushed Kid away from her playfully.

"It's true though," Kid stated as he smiled to Maka.

Maka smiled back to Kid for a minute, before she turned back to look at the portrait again, "Why is that in your room, Kid?" she asked as she pointed back to the portrait.

"Father said he wanted me to have it, since I don't really remember that I ever had a Mother," Kid answered as he also looked back at the portrait.

"Does your Dad ever tell you about what she was like?" Maka asked with a smile.

"Not really," Kid replied with a slight sigh, and he looked away from the portrait again.

Maka looked concerned for a minute as she looked to Kid, but then smiled as she noticed something about the portrait, as she looked to it again.

"There's a baby in the picture," she stated happily.

Kid looked back at the portrait again, and his eyes widened as he too now noticed the little baby with Jet black hair, who was wrapped in a white blanket and was being held in the woman's caring arms.

"Is that you?" Maka asked, already knowing what the Reaper's answer would be.

"Yeah, it's me," Kid replied as he smiled slightly and looked to Maka.

"Kid?" Maka looked back to the Reaper again.

"Yeah?"

"I love you," she stated as she moved closer to Kid, and kissed him on the cheek again.

"I love you too, my beautiful angel," Kid replied as he pecked Maka on her forehead, while gently stroking her cheek with one hand.

Maka blushed at the pet name that Kid had given her as she hugged him tightly again. Kid smiled to Maka again as he hugged her back, and sighed slightly.
