The battle on the moon had just recently ended and everyone had suffered terrible, if not devastating wounds. Even the young shinigami, Death the Kid, was not an exception. During the battle he had lost the old lady to a clown, nearly lost both his weapons, Liz and Patty Thompson, after being thrown down to the moon’s surface, and had a gaping hole where his shoulder should be. If Liz had not had the idea to change out of her weapon form and use Patty to protect Kid, all three would have lost their lives. The last thing Kid heard was Liz telling him to say with her and not to faint before he blacked out entirely.

Kid finally awoke to a hospital room, which the first thing he noticed was that it could use some cleaning up. The second thing he noticed was Liz, asleep in a chair next to him. Patty was nowhere to be found, so he figured she was off doing something for her sister. He painfully tried to sit up to get a better look at his surroundings, but realized he must have winced a bit because Liz was up and at his side in no time to lay him back down. With a firm but caring gaze, Liz looked at him and told him to “Stay lying down. You took a very serious wound and moving around will make it worse.” Kid nodded and leaned back as Liz moved over to sit next to him. Kid took one look at her and knew she should be in a hospital bed too. “What happened out there, after I passed out?” he asked looking over all the bandages on his weapon’s arm. “After you fell to the ground and had your shoulder shot by one of the clown’s bomb things, Patty and I tried to fight them off. We tried to make sure we kept our meister safe.” Liz answered, smiling a little. “How did I get back in here? Why am I hooked up and you’re free to wander? You should be in bed too, being taken care of.” Kid asked and looked at her with pure concern on his face. Liz nodded and replied, “I know I should but they said they needed extra help since so many people were wounded on the battle field, and I was one of the ones allowed to help because I was in the best shape.”

Kid looked around again, only to find Patty lying on a bed next to him. “What happened to your sister?” He turned back around to face Liz. Liz looked at the ground and sighed out “When we were trying to fight to protect you, she got shot in her human form and was majorly injured… I guess I decided I couldn’t do it without either of you so I told Patty to change into a weapon and carried both of you back here…” Kid nodded. “That was very brave of you, Liz.” Liz looked up at Kid on that statement. “Was it really? I thought running away was a very cowardly thing to do?” Kid shook his head. “You fought to protect me with your sister, and when you lost her, you put yourself in danger of carrying us both back to safety. You should be very proud of yourself. I know I am.” Kid struggled with a small smile, but got it on his face. Liz was looking back up at him now and smiled a small smile back. “Thanks Kid, it really means a lot coming from you. You should probably get some rest though. You seem exhausted.” Kid nodded and almost automatically fell back asleep.

When Kid finally woke back up, he realized he wasn’t on the aircraft anymore. He was at home, in the Gallows Manor. It was really dark outside and he could barely see anything. He could feel something though. What is that? He thought to himself. Could it be? Is it really? He looked down at his side to find the silhouette of one of his weapons. He looked closer only to find that the girl had long hair, so it had to be none other than Liz. She had her arms wrapped around him, clinging to him as if she would die if she let go. She must’ve had a bad dream and didn’t want to wake or make Patty’s wounds worse, so she came in here. Kid figured this was her reason and went back to sleep, hugging her as best he could with his injured shoulder.

When Kid woke up again, he found it was about 8:00 in the morning, his usual time to wake up. I’m glad I’m getting my system back on track. He thought to himself as he started gently moving his shoulders to test them. They felt much better, so he slowly got up and got dressed. It was a slow and painful process, but he accomplished it. He walked out of the kitchen to find Liz almost done with breakfast. Two plates? Why only two? He wondered as he walked, or more limped, over to Liz. “Good morning, Kid.” She said as she placed two pancakes on each plate. “Good morning Liz,” he replied, “Is Patty not joining us for breakfast?” Liz looked down and shook her head. “Her injury is worse than everyone thought…” She replied, “She’s still with the doctors. Luckily they say they know how to help her and she’ll be back at home in no time.” Kid rubbed her back soothingly. “Don’t worry,” he smiled, “they’ll fix her up and she’ll be good as new.” Liz nodded and set the plates down, one on each side of the table for Kid’s symmetry.

          As they finished and Kid put their plates in the dishwasher, Kid looked over at Liz. “I noticed you came into my room last night. Was everything ok?” Liz automatically blushed and shifted a little, “Um… I was used to having Patty in my room and I wanted someone there… I also had a really frightening dream and needed some… comfort…” Kid nodded. “Do you still remember the dream? I’m here if you want to tell me.” Liz blushed red. “Well, I remember the thing that scared me was that I thought… um….” Kid sat next to her at the table. “You thought what?” Liz shifted in embarrassment and said, “I thought I lost you…”

Kid looked at her for a second, and then smiled. “You’re not going to lose me. Or Patty, for that matter. Everything will turn out fine and we’ll go back to a perfect life again.” Liz nodded. “There’s one more thing…” Kid nodded and put a hand on her shoulder. “You can tell me anything.” Liz looked up at him, still blushing. “That fight on the moon made me realize how much I… really really like you…” Kid tilted his head. “I like you too, Liz. You’re my weapon. I care about you.” Liz shook her head. “I mean more than that… I… I love you, Kid.”

Kid stared at her shocked for what felt like hours, but was only a few seconds. Seeing how terribly embarrassed and scared she was made him realize how much he didn’t want her to be scared like that anymore. He wanted her to know that she would always be protected by him and that he had always had a strangely better connection with her than Patty. Realizing this made him do something he had wanted to do for a long time. He took her face in his hands and pressed his lips gently against hers. It wasn’t a long kiss, but it showed Liz how he felt. The one thing that reassured it was Kid hugging her and saying “I love you too, Liz.”
