Strange Occurrences

The Final Reveal

The Final Reveal

It was time, time for Death the Kid to learn the truth and he was going to get it no matter what. His father was not going to get away with lying to him again. That was the only thought that had been running through his head since he got up this morning after having that odd nightmare. Of course, the young Shinigami did hope that whatever the Kishin had said in his nightmare was a lie and that everything was going to be fine. It was most likely wishful thinking but some part of him had to be positive.

If Death the Kid completely gave up hope that would mean that he wouldn't be him. No, Kid was usually a positive person, someone had to be positive in a world full of madness. However, in recent times it was beginning to be hard, especially when madness already had a small grip on him. Still, he was doing his best not to let it win, he had to be strong, right?

Of course, the day was going along fine and with each moment passing, he was closer to finally confronting his father. Of course, he wanted to make sure that no one would suspect that anything was going on. His problems were his own and he didn't want his friends to worry about him, because it was getting to the point of annoyance. Why did everyone have to doubt him every time they thought something was up. He was fine, he was always fine...

Everywhere Kid went he could swear he saw that damn Kishin. Every corner of every room, it seemed like he was stalking him. This made focusing on simple tasks very difficult. One thing he wondered, though, was why the Kishin so interested in him, even if what he was saying was true (which it wasn't.) In addition to the appearance of the Kishin, Kid could also see black spots that looked like black blood. He kept trying to tell himself he was seeing things, that it wasn't there and the Kishin was just messing with his mind.

When the final class ended and the students, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was only a matter of time now.

"Hey, Kiddo, what's taking you so long? Hurry up why don't you," Liz shouted from the door and gestured him over, "What are you doing, daydreaming?"

Kid chuckled at her words before standing up and heading towards the door, making sure to wave to Stein on his way out. Once he was at the door, he and Liz exited the room, closing the door behind them. Everyone was already heading towards the exits but Kid only stood where he was.

"You all go ahead, I won't be too far behind, okay? I just got to handle something before I go," Death the Kid said with a smile before turning around that he was facing the opposite way of the gang, his face now turned serious as he advanced forward, not aware that his weapons had decided it would be nice to follow him.

For a moment, Kid stopped at the door and once more took a deep breath. Now that there were no more interferences, he could finally get to business. Without hesitation, Kid opened the door and stepped inside. Death must have had some idea that he was coming because he was already facing Death the Kid's direction.

"Hey there, Kiddo-Kun, are you feeling any better," Death asked as he watched Kid walk towards him, "I've been worried about you since you left last time."

At first Kid said nothing, no, all he did was stare at his father. Despite the fact that he had so much to say, he wanted to do his best to keep his composure, at least for now. The younger Shinigami took a step closer before clearing his throat and speaking.

"Let's not get side-tracked father, I have questions to ask you and I want you to answer them truthfully," Kid said calmly as he looked seriously at father, "Also, I would like it if you would not lie this time."

The room went silent for a quite a while. After their last encounter, Death was expecting Kid to come back and do the very thing he was doing now, despite him having told him that he was only trying to protect him. Apparently, his feelings had the opposite effect. The older male frowned and sighed.
