Please Do Not Read This Death the Kid

Chapter One

The young Shinigami held his breath as he opened the last box. He had just moved into a new apartment in New York City and was almost finished unpacking.

He needed to open one more box marked 'school days'. But he didn't want to go anywhere near his days in Shibusen. Not that they were bad, they were just…time consuming.

Taking it like the big college student he was, Kid peered into the box. Pictures, letters, and books stared back at him.

He picked up the first photo that caught his eye, the one of them all together.

Black Star, Tsubaki, Maka, Soul, Liz, Patty and…

Her…

Chrona.

He looked closer to see her face clearer. She looked so very uncomfortable.

And he loved it.

He loved how she was always awkward and shy. He loved how she always stuttered and mumbled.

But he hated how he would most likely never see her again.

He didn't need this right now. Today he was going in for a job interview.

However, he had time so he continued looking inside the box. At the bottom, he felt a book with a leather cover. He pulled it out and his head flooded with memories.

It was an assignment for Sid's class. He paired kids up into groups of two. They had to keep journals and switch them with each other every week.

Kid had no idea why. Journals were supposed to be private…right?

Sid said it would help us understand each other better. 'It'll help in battle' he said.

But if it said DO NOT READ you weren't to read the entry.

He ran his fingers over the cover and smiled. His partner was Chrona. He remembered how almost every entry said Please Don't Read in that chicken scratch he loved.

'Well, it was when they were in high school. And we did go our separate ways…'

He glanced at his watch. He'd be late if he didn't hurry. Grabbing the book, he ran out to catch his train.

PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS DEATH THE KID

September 15

I really hope you're not reading this. Sid said that if it said don't read you aren't supposed to read. I even said 'please.'

Anyways, I feel awful. I did something really bad. Something that is tearing me up inside. I stole Lady Medusa's perfume.

Maybe that seems lame, but I stole it for someone.

Maka Albarn.

Everyone assumed I'm such great friends with her.

Well, I was. In the beginning.

After I got in trouble for putting snakes in Stein's body, she changed.

Everyone else had forgiven me, even the Professor. But I guess some part of her hates me. In front of everyone, she was all smiles. When were alone, it was a different story.

She'd boss me around and if I refused, she'd make me feel extremely guilty. Today she made me steal the perfume. She says it'll make us even.

I know it's a total lie.

That entry weighed on Kid's mind heavily until he heard his name.

"Are you ready?"

Kid sniffed.

"Ready as I'll ever be."
