Getting straight to the point today

~Soul's pov~

Something is happening somewhere. And where is Kidd?

"Um can I be excused to use the restroom?" I raised my hand and asked Stein. Who just nodded to my request.

I shot out of my seat fast. I had a feeling a bad one. As soon as I was out of the classroom I started sprinting to the bathrooms to see if Kidd was in any of them. But I didn't spot him anywhere.

"Hey have you seen Death the Kidd? Ya know, the symmetry one? The Shinigami?" I stopped a random peer in the hallway.

"No, maybe ask Lord Death?"

"Oh! Thank you." I started sprinting to his 'office' if it can be described as such. My mind was racing. 'Something wasn't right. He would never skip, well, unless it was with me. But for him to skip and not tell me at all, first of all I feel left out, second of all something must be wrong.'

As soon as I reached Lord Death I put my hands on my knees and took some deep breaths while also examining the area.

"Hello?" ...

No response

"Lord Death?" I started walking around and there was no sign of him. Until I looked at his mirror. It was him and Kidd? They were in an alleyway near the school? I rushed over to the mirror and when I saw what was happening I didn't think twice. I ran as fast as I could out of the room and down the hallways. I reached the entrance and swung open the doors. Running down the stairs carefully but also quickly making sure I didn't get slowed down. Finally I start to head towards the alley in the mirror. I heard crying.

"KIDD?! LORD DEATH?" I started panicking and yelled more.

"Soul?" I heard Lord Death speak and I ran toward his voice.

When I saw his posture and Scythe's expression I was terrified. And I looked to what they were looking at.

Kidd. In a ball covered in bruises, cuts, and his clothes were torn in some areas. His hair was a mess and he looked pale. I stood in shock and started crying.

"Lord death? Please don't tell me..." I look up at him.

"I would never kill my own son! No this was the job of a friend of yours" he had Scythe pick Kidd up and carry him.

"Who." I stopped crying and became angry.

"Scythe will you take Kiddo to the infirmary?"

"Yeah don't get lost out here Soul." And with that weird remark he left.

"Who did this!" I slammed my fists in the wall.

"Soul, I know that if I tell you, you and others will be harmed. The black blood within you will take over and you will become dangerous."

"I don't give a damn. The person that did this should die." I could sense the black blood already taking over me. This wasn't good.

"Soul with that kind of attitude you'll turn into a lowly monster, another Kishin." He spoke sternly. It was scary compared to his usual funky demeanor.

"Help me get revenge."

"Soul Eater Evans. I cannot do that."

"And why not? You are the Grim Reaper. This person almost killed your son! Hell he could be dead right now. Whether you reaped him or not! Are you seriously going to sit back and do nothing!?" I punched him. Well tried to. He caught my hand before I could land the hit.

"Get control of yourself. If I tell you, do you promise to not go insane?"

"No promises. Might be safer to put me in a straight jacket." I laughed a little however Lord Death didn't find it too amusing.

"Maka. She is the one who did this." He spoke with hesitation. I now knew why he didn't want to tell me.

"You must be joking," I started laughing with hysteria, "YOU ARE JOKING!"

"Soul, I promise I will handle this. Trust me, I am equally mad about this. I mean he is my son. How about you follow me" Lord Death suggested but I knew it was a command.

—————

The walk back to his office was draining. And my friends were texting me asking about my whereabouts. BlackStar told me that school had ended early. Everyone got let out as soon as Lord Death left. Which makes some sense but also none at the same time.

He looked at me and told me to sit down.

"Why? Can't I just go see Kidd or something?" I complained

"Soul. I promise it's important. I know you are hurting right now because of Maka-"

"OH ITS NOT JUST-"

"Don't interrupt me. I know you are hurting because she betrayed you. And I also know how much betrayal can hurt. However, until I talk to her I would like you to not interfere at all." He spoke sternly at the end.

"What do you mean, 'at all'?" Looking a little annoyed I sassed at him.

"You need to give her space. And yourself space. I think if you hang around Kiddo, Maka will get angrier."

"So you just want me to not be around my own boyfriend? Yeah fucking right" I stood up off the floor and started walking away.

"Soul. You do realize that you being around him is hurting him, right? Or have you not noticed."

What the fuck did he mean by this? I haven't harmed Kidd at all. In fact I've helped him improve. He's getting better with his mental health, having less breakdowns. So what does he mean.

"What do you mean?"

"Soul. It's seems like you want to fix him. And that's not what he needs. He needs something genuine. I worry that you are not it." Lord Death looked me dead in the eyes and I looked at him.

'Maybe he's right. What if I do just want a project would I finally feel worthy of something if I saved him?'
