Death The Kid X Reader: To Hear Your Voice, Part14

You sit cross legged on Ms. Marie's nice couch as she serves you and Professor Stein some Earl Grey Tea and Cherry Turnovers. "After running some test it seems the surgery will be more complicated than before you were captured." You sip your tea calmly and read his lips. The you ask carefully moving your lips to shape your words. "What will the surgery involve, Professor?" He sighs and sets his cup on the table with a clank. "As much as I love dissecting things this will take a long time and a lot of work. Before I would have just needed to remove the blockage. But, now I'll have to reconstruct your inner ears and since every part of your inner ears are so small it could take 10-15 hours to complete, because, I need to do both ears instead of one. Even then it might not work." You take a bite of your cherry turnover and drink more of your Earl Grey tea. "Can you do it? and is it dangerous?" Professor Stein thinks for a moment and looks at you "Yes I can. There is a chance of death even for the body that of a Grim Reaper. But, because the damage is so deep in your ears not doing the surgery will be more life threating." You set your hands in your lap. "Let's do it." Professor Stein smiles "When do you want this done?" You start to get nervous, your hands start to sweat, and your body starts to shake a little. "As soon as possible, but, I wanted to go get my friends for support and come back." Professor Stein nods. "That should be fine. I need to get ready for the procedure anyway. Meet me in my office at the DWMA when you are ready and I'll take you to get ready for surgery." you stand up to leave the turn back to look at your teacher "And Professor Stein?" He looks up lighting a cigarette "Yes?" You hesitate "Don't tell anyone the risks in the surgery and how dangerous it could be... especially Kid... please." He takes a drag of smoke and exhales it while saying "Of course."

    You say goodbye to Ms. Marie and head out the door. You are a bit shaken up, but, first you head to the Death Room to talk to Lord Death alone. You rode over on your bike so you jump back on and petal up the hill at a fast pace. When you get to the school you kick down the foot stand and nervously head up the stairs school's entrance. As you open the door you run into Kid. What are you doing here? you ask. "I have been tutoring Black Star and want reporting to father." You nod in acknowledgement. I am going to speak with him, too. You walk past him into the school and he turns to you Should I come? you shake your head No. But, please stay here. I'll be right back. You walk nervously, but, confident to the Death Room.  "Father?" Lord Death turns to you, but, you can't hear him. So, you speak to him through you soul and since his wavelength is so big you don't need to be close to speak. I can't hear you, but, I use my soul wavelength to speak to people. Lord Death is a bit surprised.  Impressive. You smile. I accepted to get the surgery, but, it's going to be dangerous. I don't like admitting it, but, I'm scared. Will you watch over me? You look up at him. Of course, Kiddo. You are going to be fine. You surprise him by giving him a hug then run out of the room.

Kid is waiting for you outside "What's going on?" You take a breath to calm down "I'm having surgery. Can you get Crona, Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty? I don't want to be alone." Kid gets serious. "Yes, I'll do that right away. We'll be there before you know it." He climbs on his skateboard and takes off. So, you head to Professor Stein's office next.

When you get there you are instructed to put on a hospital gown and sit on the examination table. Kid enters the room after you are dressed followed by Liz, Patty, Gemma, Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki. You are still really shaken. "What's wrong?" asks Kid. You look away from him. "It's nothing." Kid walks up to you and grabs your hand What are you hiding from me? You smile at him. Nothing.  He seems irritated. You want to bet on that? then he kisses you. You start to feel dizzy and warm. Soon you relive what he's doing. He's searching for information like you have done before. You pull away, but, it's to late. "Is this situation really that serious?" he turns to Professor Stein. "I'm afraid so." Professor Stein takes a drag of his cigarette. "What is it, Kid?" asks Liz. "If she doesn't get the surgery she could most likely die. But, the surgery it self is can be life threating, too." the room grows quiet. Even Black Star is still. "There is a way from the brain to the ear. Hers has been opened up wide enough to let particles though it.  It will become infected and over time the build up of blood and infection could drain into her brain which will be deadly. So, I will have to reconstruct her ear and add implants. She'll be hearing by tonight and will need pain medication for up to a 2 1/2 days after." You look at you teacher with a serious face. "I have a fight tonight. I need this done by then. I'm going after my aunt." Soul frowns "Why didn't you tell us about that?" he asks picking his teeth. "I have to do this. I don't want to put my friends in danger." Black Star smiles "I laugh in the face of danger!" You frown. "I know, Black Star, but, if you care about me at all you won't fight." Maka smiles deviously "Well, then I must hate you, because, I'm going anyway." Everyone nod's in agreement. You smile. You look at Kid and smile while tears of joy roll down your cheeks. "I have a family." He brushes your tears away. "Yes. You do." 

Everyone leaves the room, but, Kid follows you down to a room set up for surgery. "Lay down on the table." Instruct the professor. You do. A mask is placed on your face and Kid squeezes your hand. You slowly fall asleep and start to dream.

----

    Kid watches your eyes shut and Professor Stein assures him you are no longer awake. So, Kid heads to wait outside with the others. He exits the room with his hands in his pockets. Maka walks up to him first. "What are you thinking about, Kid?"  He looks serious. "The only family _______ has ever had has abused her. But, I can't help, but, wonder. I know Scorpia did something that made Morrigan very angry, and she never seen her aunt after that even though Scorpia was just a teenager. But, what is Scorpia like and what if her family hadn't abused _______. If her mother was still evil, but, raised her would ______ be evil, too? Also, if her mother was a good witch like _______ and Kim would she be a different person?" Maka smiles at him "You don't need to worry about that. She is who she is and she has us and she has Gemma's mom and dad. But, most of all she has you." Kid smiles sadly "I guess so."

    A couple hours pass when Kid jolt's from sleep. "It can't be." Tsubaki asks Kid worried "What is it?" Kid stares straight forward. "I have to make sure." He stands up quickly. "Liz, Patty, follow me. Now." He is serious. "You got it boss!" Says Patty with a solute. Kid climbs one of the DWMA towers and looks out a window into the sky. Very high n the sky sitting in mid-air was a woman in a red yukata with black scorpion print and deep red flowing hair in a couple long ponytails. It was Scorpia and she was sitting there... waiting.

 You wake up in your room at you adopted parents house, Markus and Sarah Martin. You here a white night gown and morning light is flowing threw your bedroom curtains. There is a knock on your door. "Mom?" you call perked up a bit. "Dear, can I come in?" you smile and answer her "Yes, mom." she comes in and sits on your bed. Gemma's mom wore a long, plaid, vintage, country dress and an apron. Her blond hair was up in a bun and her blue eyes shinned with happiness. "Today is your wedding day." she says with a smile. "What?!" you ask shock. "Don't fret, sweetie. You are in a dream and by the end of the dream you'll be Mrs. Death." You get excited. "Kid?!"  You true mom smiles "Yes, pumpkin. Would you like to see your dress?" you perk up happily "Yes!" She goes over to your closet and pulls out a dress in a bag. She pulls of the protective bag to show a beautiful ivory dress. It was the one your true mother, not Morrgian but Sarah, wore at her wedding with Markus, your true father. The dress was silk with a studded waist belt and a sweetheart neckline. The was a lace jacket that draped past your feet and just barley trailed behind you on the ground. The last touch was a lace wedding veil. "It's so beautiful, mom." Your mom smiles. "But, when the time comes I want you sister to use it as well." You smile with tears in your eyes. "Of course." 

With that your mom gets you ready to go to the salon. The doorbell rings, so, you go to answer it. You open the door to reveal you Aunt Scorpia. "Aunt Scorpia!" you hug her, "You are in my dream, too!" Your Aunt Scorpia is young. She is about age 23 now. "Not just in your dream, sugar. I can to watch over you while you are in surgery." You are in shock. "NO! If the other witches find out you've turned against them... No body is suppose to know!" Your Aunt smiles "Nobody knows that I have turn against the others. That I'm not evil. When I was a teenager my sister, Morrgian, abused me, too. When I refused to listen she kicked me out. I want her dead as much as anyone else." You sigh. "Where are you?" She thinks for a moment "I'm in the sky. Looking down at Death City. Wait a minute. There's a boy. He has black hair... with three white stripes." Horror fills your eyes. "I can't help you right now I'm drugged. Go! Run! Now!" You shove her. She smiles sweetly and vanishes.

----

Kid get serious and mad. That's her alright just sitting in the sky. "Liz, Patty, now!" they nod "Right!" and their gun forms fly into his hands as he fly's out the window. He feels fear coming from your direction. She must be having a bad dream.  Scorpia now see's him and flies off weaving though buildings in Death City. Kid chases her shooting of his guns multiple times and missing her. "Damn it stop moving!" he continues until they are on the edge of town. Right before she head into the desert he gets her in the upper arm. "Ahh!" She holds her bleeding arm and vanishes into the desert. "Damn it." says Kid. "Well, at least you got a hit." says Patty's refection shinning in the metal of her gun form. "I guess." He then heads back to the DWMA.

You were getting a spa treatment package done to calm you. There was no waking up until you were no longer drugged. Now that your hair was done, you had a mani-pedi, your skin was smooth, and your muscles were relaxed you were ready to put on the dress. When you slip it on your mother tears up. "I am so happy to see this day come. You look so gorgeous, sweetie." You hug her. "OH!" she says with surprise. "What is it, mom?" you ask curiously. "You won't make it to the wedding it looks like. "We've have a couple hours." you tell her. "Yes. But, you will be waking up in 5 minutes. Why don't you get in bed. I'll hold you." You change into a night gown and let your freshly pampered hair hang loosely. You crawl into bed with your mom and you lay your head against her chest. "Good Night, ________."

You wake up to see Kid's face. At first you are happy, but, then you remember. "Where is Aunt Scorpia?!" Kid is shocked this is the first thing you say let alone that you know. "I chased her out of town and shot her in the upper arm." This upsets you immensely and tears fill your eyes. "YOU DID WHAT?!" You shove him away so you can sit up. The room is empty except for you and Kid. You start to tare the IV's out of your arm and start to pull her close on. "What side of town?!" Kid is shocked at this response. "Northeast." You pull on your brand new shoes you bought for when you could hear. "I am grabbing Gemma, a first aid kit, and my off-roader motorcycle and heading her way. She must be resting in a cave. "What is going on?" asks Kid with shock. "Aunt Scorpia was abused by mother, too. She is much younger than mother and has been in hiding for years. She is the only blood related family I have that isn't evil. She's not evil, Kid! SHE'S NOT EVIL! I have to go save her."
