Back from the Past ( Death the Kid fanfiction )

Chapter 4

Maka stares at Audri in shock as she stood in front of Kid, blocking the nose of his gun with her hand. Drops of blood dripped from her palm as Audri removed it.

"Are you done with your tantrum now, Kid?" asked Audri as she looked at him with a sad smile.

( flashback 10 years ago )

Audri looked at Kid with a small smile on her face as he ranted about how the pillow fort Justin made in his living room, uneven and asymmetrical. She didn't think it was even possible for someone around Kid's age to now a word that long. 10 mins later, Kid sat on floor with his arms crossed and a pout on his face. Audri giggled and knelt down to his eye level as he avoided having eye contact with her.

"Are you done with your tantrum now, Kid?"
"Not really, I'm still angry at Justin-Sempai..."
"Hmm, ok well if I took you out to have some Ice-cream later while Justin fixes up the fort to your liking. would that cheer you up?"

Kid looked at Audri and quickly looked away with a small blush on his face.

"...okay."

Audri smiled at Kid's bashfulness and picked him up, making his face redder than before.

( End of flashback )

Kid dropped his guns as he looked at her in shock, Audri then looked down at her palm that's now covered in blood and sighed.

"Well, Nygus is gonna have fun stitching this up. I'll be at the infirmary if anyone needs me."

Audri walked back inside and made her way towards the infirmary as Kid sank to his knees, staring at Audri, deep in realization. Liz and Patty turned back into their human forms and looked at their meister in worry.

"Kid, are you ok?" asked Liz as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Kid Stood up and raced after her towards the infirmary. Audri opened the door to the infirmary and stepped inside. It didn't take long for Audri to wait when Nygus soon walked in looking at her clipboard. She looked up and did a double-take when she saw Audri.

"A-Audri?! How-What-?!"
"I'll explain that later. for now could you help me?"

Audri raised her bloody hand to Nygus as she snapped out of her trance.

"Oh god, Audri, what happened?"
"Let's just say I had a small reunion..."

As Nygus cleaned her wounds, she filled Audri in about what happened during the last 10 years after her 'death'. They talked as if Audri was never gone in the first place. Suddenly the door slammed open and Audri looked behind her to see Kid panting in the door way as Nygus finishes wrapping up the bandage around Audri's wound and stood up.

"That should do it for now, It'll heal in a couple of days, so try not to move it around too much okay?"
"Alright, thanks Nygus."

Nygus walked out of the infirmary leaving Kid and Audri alone. Kid looked at Audri's bandaged hand as guilt washed over him like a waterfall.

"Audri-Sempai, I'm-"
"Kid, It's okay, there's no need to apologize."
"But Sempai..."
"It's fine Kid, besides it doesn't hurt, see?"

Audri waved her wrist around effortlessly to prove her point until the bandages unraveled into a tangled mess with some pieces of it dangling from her wrist. Audri noticed it and smiled sheepishly at Kid.

"Uh...whoops...he he."

Kid chuckled at her behavior as he walked over and re-wrapped the bandage around her wrist. Audri took this chance to take a better look at Kid, noting that he's now an Inch or two taller than her and his facial structure has definitely matured these last 10 years. Just as Kid finished wrapping the bandages on her wrist he quickly pulled Audri towards himself, wrapping his arms around her into a tight hug. Audri was surprised by his sudden actions but smiled and returned the gesture nonetheless as he buried his face into her shoulder with a single tear trailing down is eyes.

"All these years...I thought you were gone...why'd you have to go?"
"I'm so sorry Kid, I didn't mean to leave you like that. Some things were just beyond my control."
"I missed you so much, please don't leave me again."
"Kid, I can't promise that won't. But I will try to stay this time."
"That's good enough for me."

What they didn't realize was that everyone was watching the scene from Lord Death's mirror in the Death Room. (except for Patty as she's oblivious to the entire situation.)

"Aww!! They're so cute together!!!"
"This is so not cool..."
"Okay, It's official, I'm shipping Kid and Audri like FedEx. What should be their shipping name? They seriously need a shipping name."
"Ah, My dear Kid has finally grown up. I'll be hearing wedding bells soon!!"
