Kid 2's POV (the original Kid, for those of you skipping chapters, Kid 1 is the original and Kid 2 is the evil one, and btw I forgot to mention this in the last chapter, but when it switched to Kid 2's POV it went  back to when Kid came to this world and stuff, but when it moves back to Kid 1's POV it will move back to the present.)

I had duplicated my father's mirror from the death room, so if I needed to I could check up and see where people were. After my dream, I decided I would check up on Maka and Black Star, no doubt they were hanging out.

What if the reason she rejected me so much was something going on between her and Black Star? I thought. What if the entire time they were just seeing each other behind my back?

Those thoughts were interrupted when the mirror had started to show Black Star, Tsubaki, Maka and........

.....Me?

I blinked in confusion. How the hell could they be with me if I was here?

About an hour later

I hardly bought a word that came out of the mouth of the me that was with them, but I could see his soul, and it looked almost exactly like mine used to. There really wasn't much other explanation.

I decided to keep looking at the mirror, just to get more information.

I'd learned that the me in the mirror was from another universe, that lived in a different version of this city, and he had been sent here to kill me because Blaire had accidentally gotten him in trouble with the order of the Shinigami by raising Black Star, Maka, and Soul from the dead. I'd also realized that the version of me in the mirror had been in love with the Soul from his world (which I found a bit weird, considering I've never personally liked any guy in my life. Like, ever. I never even went through that bi-curious phase like most people do. 

The other me was walking with Black Star and Maka, and at one point, Black Star said the exact opposite of what he told me before Soul died. None of it lined up. Before, he had said he didn't care about dying, that he would fight to get me back, but now he was saying it was a pointless fight, and not even worth it, and didn't think it was worth dying for.

After that, Black Star started walking ahead of them, and Maka started whispering in the other me's ear.

"Don't take the way he treats you personally." Maka said quietly, trying to not let Black Star hear. "When the you he knew betrayed us, he was probably the one who felt the most betrayed out of all of us. He's been embarassed about it ever since, but before that-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence, Maka." Black Star said, even though he seemed too far away for him to hear them.

"He was in love with this world's version of you." Maka whispered twice as quiet as before.

When I heard that I just stared at the mirror, not even processing what was going on.

That's when I remembered what I had said to Black Star, after Asura had taken over my soul, just when my soul completely given in to Asura. When my soul was taken over by him until it was separated from me, my memory became a blur, but I could remember this loud and clear now.

I could feel that part of the old me- no; the real me- fighting back against who I've become even harder than before. Even though I wasn't in control of myself at the time, I wouldn't forgive myself for saying that, for hurting Black Star like that.

I pushed down those feelings, the new me striving to come out on top, to put the me I used to be back down, and it worked.

But that memory stayed in my mind, the memory of the lie I told Black Star, and what I did.

The lie that I loved him, and the fact that I, for some odd reason, kissed him.

Kid 1's POV 

Liz, Patty, Maka and I all walked together, and Maka was constantly questioning why I let them come along in the first place. It was obvious to everyone that they were bad, considering their idol was the evil version of me, but I knew that if I was going to beat the version of me that was my idol, I would need them.

"Seriously, Kid, what the hell are you thinking?" Maka asked, whispering in my ear to where the Thompson sisters couldn't hear. "They aren't going to help us and you know it!"

"It's our bestshot!" I exclaimed, also whispering. "In my world, their my weapons. They were like this before they were my weapons in my world, but I managed to get them to change. If I'm going to at least attempt to fight, I want to give myself a good shot!"

"I hope you realize the weapon you wield in this world is-"

"I've fought someone weilding excalibur before. I think I could take whatever weapon he has!" I said.

"Funny you say that." Maka said. "Because it happens to be Excalibur."

"Wait seriously?" I said. "Why would I ever use that obnoxious sword?"

"Because it makes you powerful? Because he's not obnoxious in this world?" Maka answered. "Honestly, I don't know. I never saw you with him before the whole Soul thing."

"Oh..." I said.

"Why are you two whispering?" Patty asked.

"N-no reason." Maka stuttered.

"It's more because of a private conversation, but we can continue that later." I said.

"Wait, don't tell me this girl is your girlfriend?" Liz asked. "I mean, rumors said she-"

"No, she's not my girlfriend!" I said a bit loudly. This conversation was starting to remind me of when Maka and I were actually dating like, six years ago in my world, and I didn't really want to think about that. It made me feel awkward and stupid for even thinking about dating her.

"Then what's with the private conversation? Why can't we hear it?" Patty asked.

"It's something you guys probably wouldn't want to hear." I said. "It's not anything offensive towards you two, I promise."

"You know, for someone who killed someone he used to call a friend, you seem a little considerate towards others..." Liz pointed out.

"About that..." I started, but Maka cut me off.

"He's only an ass like that to people who oppose him." Maka said. 

"I guess that makes sense." Liz commented.

"Hey no need to call me an ass!" I told Maka.

"But it's true, to the people who aren't on the same side as you." Maka said.

"Whatever." I said.

Later that night, Maka 2's POV 

Liz, Patty and Kid all stayed in the apartment Soul and I used to share for that night. Though I was reluctant to let him stay there, Kid was in Soul's room, while Liz and Patty insisted on having a little sleep over and staying in the same room as me, so we all pretty much talked all night.

"Hey, Maka, can we trust you with something?" Liz asked me.

"Uhhh.... sure." I replied, not really caring.

"We aren't exactly like we appeared earlier. To be honest, we're kind of just scared of Kid." Patty said. "Honestly, I never hoped to meet him. I never even wanted to see his face."

"Really?" I asked. "That's actually kind of a relief."

"How?" Liz asked. 

"Well, you know how Kid said he was the Death the Kid you had heard of but at the same time not?" I asked them.

"Yeah...." Patty replied.

"Well, the Kid We've been with isn't the one that's evil. He's from another version of this world. He only faked it because in his world you two were his weapons, so he wanted to try and convince you two to be his weapons and help him fight against the version of himself from this world." I exclaimed. "I didn't believe it at first, but then I saw a lot of distinct differences."

"Like?" Liz questioned.

"Well for one, he has scars on his wrists, and they look like they've been there for a while. I even looked at it up close, and tried to see if it was just make up, but it wasn't. I just saw the other version a couple of weeks ago. I don't think he would cut himself that many times to do all this." I exclaimed. "Also, he looks a bit older than the version from here."

"You judged it based solely from appearance?" Liz raised her voice slightly.

"Not completely. There's also the fact that this one has a completely different aura to him. I used my soul perception on him, and it was obvious he wasn't the same Kid, just from the look of his soul." I exclaimed.

"So, he wants us to help him go against himself?" Patty asked.

"Pretty much." I answered. "You guys up for it?"

Kid 1's POV

I sat in what was the Soul from this world's room. It was practically the exact same as the one I remembered from my world. I couldn't help but feel nostalgic, seeing this room again. It was a messy room, but I didn't clean any of it up. I didn't want to make the room look any different than when I entered it, because that's the way Soul kept it. I knew it was stupid, that it wasn't the same Soul I had loved, but I couldn't help but think as if it were the same Soul.

I went to sleep on the soft bed, and found out that spirits here could talk to me in my sleep, too (for those of you skipping chapters, ghosts can talk to Kid in his sleep).

"What the hell are you, of all people, doing in my damn bedroom, Kid?" I heard an all too familiar voice say.

"S-Soul!" I said, a little surprised.

"Answer my dam question, Kid!" Soul yelled, then grabbed the top of my shirt and somehow slammed me against the wall. "I don't want the guy who just fucking killed me in my dam room!"

"L-Let me explain!" I said. Honestly, I don't think I really liked this version of Soul.

"Why should I give you the chance to explain yourself?" Soul asked me.

"Because maybe before you probably try to beat me up, since that's what it looks like your going to do, you should know I'm not the person who killed you. I'm a different version of him."

"You expect me to believe that bullshit?" Soul asked.

"I don't know what I expect from anyone here." I said. "Everyone's different than they are in my world."

"Stop it with your crap."

"It's the truth, Soul!"I said. "Honestly, how do you think the Kid that killed you would react to you grabbing him like this? What reason would I have to try and trick you guys?"

"What do you mean you guys?" Soul asked.

"Black Star, Maka, and Tsubaki all believe me." I said. "I don't understand why I would trick you if I could just get rid of you in a snap. That would be pointless."

"I still don't believe you." Soul said. "And I don't believe that Maka and Black Star believe you either."

"I don't care if you believe me or not. For one, you aren't even alive, and two, the second I kill the me from this world, I can go home." I said.

"How the hell would that work?" Soul asked me.

"That's a long, long  story."

Hey guys so I just wanted you guys to all to know I'm trying to update as much as possible but there are some days where I'm too busy to write, or I just don't have access to my laptop. Because of that it takes me a little longer to update some chapters and not so much others. I'll try to update on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays if I can, but if I don't, at least know I'm trying to get the chapter done. Mondays Wednesdays and Saturdays aren't really a good day for me to try to update, just because of JROTC and Indoor Drumline (just won 1st place in my division tonight btw).
