Back from the Past ( Death the Kid fanfiction )

Prologue. ( 10 years ago )

  "Audri, hurry up!!! We're gonna miss our flight!!"
" Okay I'm coming!!"

Audri raced down the stairs of Death Weapon Meister Academy, her long chestnut hair flowing behind her as she eventually caught up with her weapon partner.

"Jeez Audri about time, you're so slow sometimes you know that?"
"Shut up Justin, it's not my fault I'm short!!!"
"Yeah, whatever. Any way did you get what you need?"
"Yup, all set!!"
"Alright, let's go then."

Audri nodded as she and Justin started to make their way down the rest of the stairs.

"So, how long do you think it'll take to finish this mission?"
"I don't know, hopefully-"
"Audri-Sempai!! Wait!!!"

Audri turned around to see a 6 year old boy running towards her. He had short, pitch black hair decorated with three, white, horizontal stripes going halfway around the left side of his head. The boy soon stopped infront of Audri, panting heavily before looking up at her with his bright, honey colored orbs.

"Audri-Sempai, are you going on another mission again?!"
'Dammit, how'd he find out?' thought Audri before hesitantly answering him.
"Er, Yeah...I am."
"How long are you going to be gone for this time?"
"Um, I don't know. But hopefully I'll be back in a few days."
"A few days? But what if you never come back? What if I'll never see you again?"

Kid looked at Audri with tears forming on the edges of his eyes. Audri Crouched down to his eye level and placed a comforting hand oh his shoulder.

"Tell me Kid, do you ever stop thinking about the moon when the sun comes up?"
"um, no."
"Okay well, do you stop thinking about the sun when the clouds block it out?"

Kid giggled for awhile before repeating Audri with the same answer, as she smiled at the fact that she was able to make him smile.

"I'll always be here Kid, even if you can't see me anymore."
"Then can you keep a promise?"
"What kind of promise?"
"Promise me we'll see each other again."
"Okay, I promise."

Kid held out both of his pinky fingers to Audri.

"Pinky Promise?"
"Pinky Promise."

Audri connects both of her pinky fingers with his before kissing his forehead and walked away to the airport with Justin, leaving a very red faced Kid on the stairs.

( 2 weeks later... )

Kid sits at the front of the DWMA, waiting patiently for Audri and Justin's return. Lord Death decided to join him to keep him company, in case he was lonely.

"Hey, Dad?"
"Yes Kiddo?"
"When do you think Audri-Sempai will come back?"
"I don't know Kid, It's hard to say..."

Kid sighed and hugged his legs until he heard footsteps coming up the stairs, He looked up to see Justin's light blonde hair and baby blue eyes.

"Dad, It's Justin-Sempai!!"

Kid got up and ran towards Justin, happy to see that they're back. Justin saw the excited six year old and look away with sadness.

"Justin-Sempai, how'd the mission go?" Kid asked excitedly, then he noticed that his meister wasn't with him.

"Where's Audri-Sempai?"

Justin didn't dare to look at Kid. Panic rose to Kid's face and he started to tug the edges of his shirt.

"Sempai, where is she?! What happened back there?! Why isn't she with you?! Why?!"

Justin looked at Kid with sad and guilt in his eyes. Then he looked st the ground and tears started to fall from his eyes.

"Audri...isn't here anymore...she's gone."

Kid looked at Justin in shock and half-expectantly hoped that it was some kind of joke, but it wasn't.

"She can't be gone, she Pinky Promised me..."
"Kid, I'm sorry..."
"It's not fair!!!"
"Kid, I-"
"She can't just leave!!! She didn't even say good bye!!! It's not fair!!!"

Kid ran into the school with tears flowing out of his eyes. He wanted to think that it was all a dream, but no matter how many times he pinched himself, he was definitely awake knowing that his dearest Sempai was gone.
