Otakus Unite!

Chapter 43 Kid's Soul

Kelly's POV

I opened my eyes again to reveal a land that was... wait for it, yes. TOTALLY ASYMMETRICAL!!! HA! BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT! Okay, calming down now. (A/N: And somehow she just broke the 4th wall... .-.) As I carefully took a step forward, I heard a voice that was easily recognizable.

I walked towards the voice, looking around. Since Kid has major OCD, you'd expect him to have a nice and tidy soul. But nope, his soul was a mess! Everything was asymmetrical and all over the place. To tell the truth, it actually, somewhat, looked like an old ruin of a, once beautiful, home. Almost like Greek ruins, they were basically old and totally not symmetrical.

As I approached Kid, I saw him sitting on the ground, holding something, but I couldn't see what it was, exactly. It looked as if he was trying to put two pieces back together, and he was mumbling on about how asymmetrical everything was.

"Um, Kid?" I whispered, moving a little closer. He either ignored me or didn't hear me because he didn't respond to my voice, nor react. "Kid, come on, look at me. I said, firmer and a little louder.

Kid continued to mumble on, but he dropped the two pieces he was holding, as if he was giving up trying to put them together. I was getting irritated by now. "Kid. Look at me." I said in a stern, yet calm voice. I wasn't whispering anymore, but he still wouldn't acknowledge me.

I couldn't stand it anymore before I grabbed Kid's shoulders and spun him around, forcing him to face me. "Kid, come on. Just look at me." I said. His eyes wouldn't meet mine, but he was quiet now. I knew I got his attention, but he just wouldn't look up at me. I looked around before walking over to try and fix something.

"Hey, look, Kid! It's something symmetrical!" I smiled. He still wouldn't look up at me. I sighed in defeat. "Please, Kid. I'm begging here." I said as I walked back over to Kid, sitting on my knees, in front of him. "Just one quick glance to let me know I have your attention." I begged. He still wouldn't look up.

"Please. Look up." I mumbled, placing my hands on his shoulders. "Please." I looked straight at him. "Cue the waterworks." I heard Milli say through my head. "Shut it, Milli before I pound you." I thought.

"Why?" I heard Kid mumble. "Huh?" "Why are you here? Why?" I stared at him before answering. "I'm here to help bring you back. Look, I know this place is a mess, but how about we make it symmetrical again, together?" I asked, smiling.

"Why do you care?" he asked, totally ignoring my last comment. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I nearly killed you."

That last sentence made my smile falter. He knew? Even though he was corrupted? That must mean Soul, Gray, and Alphonse must've known what they had done during their corruption.

"Uh, well." I started. "I almost killed your friends, too! Maka and Soul as well. Then I almost tried to kill you a second time! I don't understand why you're so calm about this!" Kid shouted. I could see tears running down his cheeks. I could tell he was sorry for what he did, I just couldn't say anything.

"Why're you here? If you're here to kill me for revenge, be my guest and kill me! I'm nothing but a piece of asymmetrical garbage that can't even stop himself from hurting his friends!" Kid yelled.

I realized my hands were still on his shoulders, and he still hasn't looked at me, once. I dropped my arms and continued to stare at him. I couldn't help myself anymore and I threw my arms around him and I started to cry, myself.

"Why would I want to kill you?" I mumbled. "Why would I want to kill one of my friends? I care about you because you're my friend. I never want harm to come to them. And when it does, I always feel like it's my fault." I cried. But that wasn't the end of what I was saying.

"I remember what you told me, Kid. The day this whole war started. You said that until the very end, you'd stay by my side to help me fight. You said you'd be there for me whenever I needed you. I don't know when you were corrupted by Medusa. But, all I know is that when you were corrupted, I wasn't there to help protect you. So I'm the one who's sorry. I couldn't help you, and this is where that got us." I mumbled as I continued to cry into Kid's chest.

As I continued to cry, I felt Kid's arms wrap around me as he started crying again, as well. "I still don't understand how you're not mad at me for what I've done." Kid mumbled. "I'm not mad because I knew you never meant harm to us. You care about your friends, and I can tell, right now, that you feel guilty about what you did. But you don't have to apologize, this is my fault. And we can fix it, we can defeat Medusa." I smiled.

I let go of Kid, even though he was still holding onto me. I wiped away my tears then I smiled and looked him straight in the eye. I finally got him to look me in the eye and I started to giggle. "What're you laughing about?" Kid asked. "After all this, I finally get you to look at me." I laughed, flashing a grin.

Kid stared at me then smiled himself. That's when he pulled me into another hug, but this time, his lips were on mine. I was shocked, but smiled and kissed him back. When we pulled apart, after what seemed like forever, I noticed that everything around us had turned back into what it was supposed to be. The ruins have now become a totally symmetrical hallway that was decorated with Lord Death's skull masks and many other decorations.

I looked down to see my black dress had disappeared and was replaced with my old clothes. "Thank you, Kelly." Kid smiled. I smiled back. "Thank you, Kid." That's when it all went black. I was back in my own soul. The madness was gone.

Lauren's POV

I watched as the two continued to fight. "What's taking her so long?!" Edith panicked. "Kelly should be back to normal right now. And if she was trying to save Kid, he should be too."

"Well, apparently, that hasn't happened yet!" Stephanie shouted. That's when Kelly jumped back and froze for a second. "What happened?" I mumbled. Kid jumped back too and was also frozen, but I couldn't see him that well because he was way too far away.

"What happened?" I heard Emily ask. "I don't know." Edith replied. That's when Milli turned back into her human form. "This fight is over." I heard Kelly say as she spun around and smiled at us. "Kelly!" we all cheered before we turned to Kid.

"But, what about him?" I asked. Just as I say that, the twin pistols started glowing before Liz and Patty were back in their human forms. "So, does that mean..." Jennifer trailed off as she looked at Kid. He walked over to us and we all smiled. The five lines that were on his mouth were gone, and his eyes were no longer dull.

"Yay! Kid's back too!" Maka cheered. "Then that leaves one more." Gray muttered as he looked up. The rest of us looked up to see Medusa sitting on a broom in the sky. And she DID NOT look happy.

"You little brats!" Medusa yelled as she started moving her arms. "Vector arrow!" she chanted as millions of arrows shot at us. "Liz! Patty!" Kid yelled as the two transformed into guns again and Kid started to shoot at the arrows.

"Alright, guys. Think you can stand?" Kelly asked. We all nodded as we stood up. "Good. It's time to finally end this." Kelly said as she glared up at Medusa. "KILL THE WITCH!"
