9: Dreaming

So I know I said don't expect updates on Mondays because of Indoor drumline and JROTC, but today is the exception, because I'm sick. And my band director is probably going to be pissed at me tomorrow. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the chapter :)


"Kid!" I heard Maka yell, making me shoot up from my sleep. I looked around me and wandered why I was in Soul's room, before I remembered everything that happened yesterday.

I looked out the window and saw he sun rising, shining on a chaotic world that I fully intended to fix. I knew it would be a while, but it didn't matter until I found the me from this world. Until I found the me from this world, I may as well help get rid of as many kishin as possible.

At this hour, I didn't expect to see that much going on when I looked through my window, but I could already see kishin at work, trying to get to other people. I walked downstairs to see Maka, Liz and Patty all down stairs, looking like they were waiting on me for something.

"Why did you yell my name, Maka?" I asked.

"Because there's something you need to know. " Liz answered for Maka.

Kid 2's POV

I woke up and looked in the mirror to see the mess I felt like I constantly was now. It felt like there was a civil war in my mind, which was causing disruption in my soul, and now I felt like a shitty, bipolar mess. I felt like two completely different people, fighting for control over one body.

I splashed my face with water, trying to also stop thinking about my nightmare. For some reason, it was the only time in the past two weeks that I've had a dream of something other than the day I killed Soul, and I had a feeling it had to do with another version of me being in this world.

I remembered in the dream, I was with Black Star, Tsubaki, two sisters that were my guns, and a pink haired kid, all tied up to chairs. I was stubbornly asking where Soul and Maka were in the dream, until there was a banging sound Black Star pointed out, and we all realized it was coming from where Maka and Soul were. The banging got slower and, and then just stopped, and I could feel the death of the two of them. Then, I broke out of the ropes, and broke everyone else out, and we all defeated our captors, but Black Star was bleeding to death, and there was no way to stop it, since he was stabbed in so many spots. I ran up to the room where we all heard Soul and Maka banging on something, hoping for my instincts of them being dead to be wrong, only to see them in a tank full of water, which I smashed open, and tried to revive the two of them, unsuccessfully.

After that, I woke up, wandering why I had that dream. I know that if that were to happen now, I wouldn't even think about trying to save them and go through with it if I already had the instinct of knowing they were dead. Then I thought, what if that happened to the other version of me?

Soul 1's POV (the Soul from the original world)

I woke up from a weird dream last night. Kid was standing across from Black Star and Maka, with Tsubaki and in a weapon form. For some reason, Kid was holding Excalibur, and he seemed a little off. He said a few things, and next thing I knew, he swung Excalibur at Maka, and I jumped in the way and got myself killed. I couldn't really understand why I would have a dream like that, where Kid killed me, or really, where Kid tried to kill Maka.

After I got over the initial shock of having that dream, it took me a minute to remember where I was. I was in a guest bedroom in Blaires house, with Black Star and Maka in other beds in the room. They both looked sound asleep, and then I realized how early it was, since the sun was barely peeking over the horizon. I went outside and just decided to wander around the town. I wouldn't normally go on random walks, or wake up this early in the morning, but I wanted to clear my head after everything that had happened to me.

I died from drowning, along with Maka. Kid tried to save us and failed. I became a ghost four years later, and everyone seemed depressed. Then, Blaire raised Maka, Black Star and I from the dead, and Kid got sent to another world to kill another version of himself because of it. Then, I had the dream where Kid killed me, though I didn't think that it really had any meaning. I looked at the sun rise, and it reminded me of the sunrise on the day I died.

Before I realized it, I had walked to the park, so I just sat down on a park bench, next to the court where we all used to play basketball together. It felt wrong to be here without all of my friends, but I still just sat there, pondering on old memories.

I remembered when Asura had gotten out, and we were all sitting out of school because of injuries, yet we all came here to play basketball just because we wanted to feel like normal kids for once.

I remembered playing basketball here one on one with Kid a few days before we got together, wanting to tell him the way I felt the entire time, but I just kept my mouth shut and played basketball.

I remembered playing here so many times it wasn't funny, so it felt weird being here alone. I still just didn't move. I watched the sun rise, and without even realizing it, someone walked behind me and said something.

Kid 1's POV

"So you guys know where the me from this world is?!?" I asked, pretty shocked that Liz and Patty found out where he was.

"Yeah, but I don't think you should go after him yet. I mean, he has freaking Excalibur. It would be practically suicide to just charge in there right now." Liz said. 

"I never said anything about charging in there with no plan." I said. "Believe it or not, I'm pretty good with strategies, though. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a plan."

"What about the fact that he could easily kill us?" Patty asked.

"I can dodge his attacks." I shrugged. "I may have lost to the last guy I fought that had Excalibur in my world, but I also learned how to dodge and block attacks from it. I just have to do it against a better meister."

"Are you like, determined to charge in there as soon as possible or something?" Maka asked.

"No, not without a plan on how to kill him. I'm not stupid." I answered. "I just may need more information to come up with a functional plan."

"Well, information could be a problem. He's turned into a completely different person since we fought Asura two years ago." Maka said.

"Well, I guess we'll just have to wing it then."  I said. "Not after a little practice with fighting, though."

"Thank God." Liz said. "I thought you were about to say that we were just going to go now."

"No, but we need to go in the next few days, just in case he changes locations." I said. "Anyways, who's ready to go kill some kishin?"
