Lady Reaper (souleater fanfic)

Chapter 2

I woke up with a start my back, neck, face and ankle hurting like hell.

"Easy now Kitana you got hurt badly and you gave us quite a shock. He wouldn't stop crying till I showed him that you were ok, he's asleep beside your left hand." Lord Death said standing I could hear the rustle if his clothes I soon felt the bed dip to my right. " Thank you for saving my son and trying to save my wife. Unfortunately your efforts to save her were wasted she died in my arms." I could hear the sorrow in his voice. Suddenly I couldn't breathe reapers don't die we are practically immortal near impossible to kill. "Easy breathe Kitana breathe your ok Kid is ok and so am I just breathe in out." He said in that goofy voice and I started laughing pain in my left side when I felt something press against me lightly it helped re-leave my pain. "He likes your laugh Kitana. I have to go I will see you two later I have to check on the students and the staff who risked their lives for us." He said patting my hand and walking out. I move my left arm around Kid and I feel his shallow breathing poor little thing all worn out. I fell asleep again since I had nothing better to do I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder lightly. 

" Kitana it's time for dinner." Lord Death said helping me sit up. I nodded and took the bandages off my eyes so I could see again. "Good thing we heal fast." He said picking up his son and walking out on a pair of crutches I followed him down the hall to the dinning room where a plate of sandwiches and two pots of tea waited for us. "Kitana I need you to stay close to me over the next few weeks just in case arachnophobia  try to kill you and Kid again I also want someone I fully trust to take care of my son." He said in his real voice removing his mask giving me a very serious look. 

"Of course Lord Death. Kid can stay in my room if it comforts him knowing that I'm ok and he is safe. I never knew that infants at his age could be so intelligent." I said grabbing a sandwich watching Kid on his fathers lap looking around I could still see shattered glass on the floors and the torn curtains things that I will have to fix when I get a chance.

"Thank-you Kitana. I suppose we better get someone in to fix the major damage eh." He said in his goofy voice out of habit more than anything. I simply shook my head. 

"What if arachnophobia were to learn of the group you used and posed as workers they could set traps in your home and kill us in our sleep. I will repair what I can and the staff from the DWMA who are trained in building can help." I said taking a sip of tea before rolling up the bandage that covered my eyes and removing the one on my neck. "How are the students from the tunnels?" I asked eating another sandwich as Lord Death took off his gloves and put them on the table.

"They are fine and will recover soon but the damage to the city is a different story but it is well under way, also you were asleep for two days and you missed your flight back to the European region I think that you and your weapon should move back here for safety and to help me raise Kid." He said rubbing his eyes I saw the dark bags under his eyes telling me that he hadn't slept since that night. 

"I'll think about it as long as you get some sleep your a reaper not a suit of armour you need to sleep just like the rest of us. Also what kind of name is Death the Kid? What are you obsessed with westerns now? If so when did that happen?" I asked and  I saw the sorrow in his eyes. His wife chose that name for their first born child thinking back I only really met his wife a few times she was always off doing something when I came to visit and I would always have to hurry back to Europe. Heck I only came because Lord Death and Kyle said I should met Death the Kid.

"I can always make that an order." He said with all seriousness bouncing his son on his knee and I burst out laughing so did Kid. 

"Since when do I follow orders? If I recall you had a party when I left to run the European region for you." I said laughing taking Kid from Lord Death and grabbing the bottle on the table before feed Kid. 

"Since you became a big sister and I need you to listen to me now more than ever also you did listen to me 600 years ago" He said as a throw away comment. 

"I'm how old?  You know that I don't remember anything before the past 14 years.Explain now." I said too loudly making Kid cry. I put the bottle down and started rocking him to get him to quiet down. "Sorry little one I didn't mean to make you cry." I said before Lord Death started tickling me making me laugh and Kid started laughing. Once Lord Death stepped away and I caught my breath. "Lord Death I'm serious how old am I?" I asked feeding Kid again. 

"I suppose it's time I tell you about your past isn't it?" He asked and I just gave him a look before he sighed and continued. "Your name is Kitana that much is true. I also met you when you were 14 years old and I saw you with your brother before he was killed and I took you in." He paused and I nodded slowly.  "You and Your brother were apart of my personal guard and you both had different mothers." He said standing up and moving to the window the breeze lifting his coat slightly. "Both of your mothers died giving birth so you never knew them anyway your mother was a weapon so your soul always gave off a weapon vibe which also makes you stronger which is why you are so hard to defeat." He said turning back to me my jaw hanging open. 

"Ok so I am 628 years old. I have a half brother and I am half weapon great what are you going to tell me now. What that I had a flexible soul and I have always partnered with short ranged blades? What about  I helped you defeat the first Kishin? Or I made the first true death scythe?" I scoffed. "You could have tried to be a little more believable Death." I said as Kid finished the bottle only a month old and already on a bottle he should have been able to spend some more time with his mother no child deserves to never really know their mother. 

"Kitana I'm serious only your only 614 and everything you said was true except the death scythe bit. Someone else beat you to that but you were the youngest in the guard so no one ever let you take large missions alone." He said staring straight at me taking Kid back and burping him for me and walking off leaving me alone with my thoughts. Could I really be 614 years old? How long do Reapers live? Why can't I remember anything? What happened to make me forget? Who was my brother? What else is Lord Death hiding from me? I get up after finishing my tea and I make my way back to my room and I write a letter to Kyle my weapon partner. 

Hey Kyle,

Lord Death wants us to move back to Death City because we were attacked a few days ago. Lady Death is dead but I managed to save Death the Kid by crawling into a sewer pipe. I ended up getting stabbed when I grabbed Kid and a few cuts when running with him. I may have stolen from a few people to hide who we were but it didn't work and I ended up under the academy in the sewers and I shattered my ankle but only after the danger had passed and Lord Death had found us. Stop laughing because I know you are. Anyway I won't make you do anything you don't want to so if you don't want to move just say the word and we won't. However if Lord Death orders us we have no choice I am trying to convince him that we will be fine but you know how he can be. 

Still Alive 

Kitana
