Patty laughed, throwing open the front door of their room with loud bang before running in. "-KKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!"
Liz winced from the loud sound before rolling her eyes and throwing her and her sister's bags on the couch. "What if he was resting, huh? He's going to scold you again."
"Nuuuu, I'll just make fun of his hair again," she giggled a little too much as she looked up the stairs. "Oh? I think he's taking a shower, Liz...LET'S TAKE PICTURES!"
"What...n-no!" Liz yelled, grabbing the back of Patty's shirt. "That's not even funny," she replied with a small blush.
The younger female pouted and crossed her arms, "Fiiiine, but you're no fuuuun!"
The long haired one sighed, "There's some cookies in the kitchen, go ea-" She was cut off by Patty ripping out of her grip and bolting to the kitchen to indugle herself in the suger cookies. Liz chuckled slightly before walking up the stairs and going into Kid's room. Upon hearing the water going she walked over to the bathroom door and knocked, ""Hey...just wanna make sure you're not dead. You doing alright, Kid?
For awhile she got no reply and was about to open the door when she thought she heard something. Liz blinked and opened the door just a crack so she could hear, she wasn't looking in like a weird pervert. "...What was that?"
Kid breathed hard, wincing as he tried to speak with his dry mouth. He seriously forgot all about Patty and Liz and was cursing himself for it. After a couple of tries though he muttered out 'I'm Fine'. Unfortunetly, it wasn't loud enough and Kid had to peer out of the curtain some, "I-I said...I'm just a-alittle tried."
Liz blinked, not entirely conviced his words were true with his tone of voice, "Well...ok, just ask me if you need anything, alright Kid?"
"Yeah...c-could you burn the clothes in my l-lundary?"
"Did you tear something again? I told you I can sew your clothes back so you don't have to keep buying new ones." She replied with a small smile, thinking nothing of it.
Kid licked his lips, feeling the water beginning to get less warm as the hot water ran out. "No...Not these ones, just...burn the basket too, please, Liz."
'The basket...why would he...?' she silently thought before walking a couple steps over to the lundary basket. Liz usually didn't go into dirty clothes, but she was curious as she reached down and grabbed the most recent clothes, the ones on top. Her face went up in a grimace when she felt something wet before looking down at the wrinkled pants and torn up jacket she had in her hands. 'Is that...blood? What's the white stu-...!'
Liz dropped the clothes with wide eyes before running to the bathroom and yanking the door open, "Kid-kun! I have to ask...What happened at school todau? Did someone take advantage of you? Please tell me." She asked worried about the boy the took her and her sister off the streets...she knew what rape victims went through, she saw her share of them on the dark and dangerous back alleys, both females and males.
Kid tensed up in the shower, not really answering as he looked down at his body, marked with bruises and hickeys. He felt his eyes water up once more upon hearing Liz's worried tone, but what was he supposed to say? 'Yes, I was brutually raped and feel like dying?', like hell he would say something so...so weak.
Upon hearing nothing the female grabbed a clean towel off the rack in the bathroom and went to stand right outside the shower curtain. "Please, Kid...I have a towel, so come on out and let me try to help," she said softly. After a minute or two Liz was about to say something else when the water turned off.
Twisting off the water, the shinigami took a shaky breath before peering his pale and wet face out at Liz. "Don't freak out...ok?" Kid muttered out as he pulled back the curtain before taking the towel and loosely wrapping it around his waist.
Liz gasped, eyes roaming over her miester's body. Besides his body being a tender flush color from the hot water, there was one dark and brusied bite mark on the left side of Kid's neck just where his normal jacket would be able to hide it. There was at least fifteen actual hickeys covering the male's chest and stomach along with angry red marks where it looked like someone dragged their teeth down the flesh. She could also see the finger-like bruises indented into Kid's wrists and hips...Liz was almost positive if the towel wasn't there she would see more bruises over her mister's thighs.
"Oh, Kid-kun...come here," she said while reaching out and pulling the other against her chest, a hand going up to run through that wet, asymmectrical hair.
Kid relaxed into the gentle touch and started crying again, wrapping his arms around the older weapon's waist. His plan was to stay strong and not let anyone find out, but when Liz pulled him to her chest...any resolve he had broke with his tears, shaking.
She smiled sadly and held the boy close, not caring if her clothes got wet at the moment, before Liz lead Kid back into his room. Once her mister had calmed down some she took the towel and began drying Kid off so he wouldn't catch a cold, because it seemed obvious he didn't really want to move. Once done she made her miester sit on the bed before going over to the closet and getting some perfectly even gray T-shirt and pants along with a set of checkered boxers.
The shinigami sighed, rubbing at his wrists as he waited for Liz to come back with his clothes. 'What am I going to tell her? I just know she'll ask who did it and why I couldn't fight back against it...Should I tell her the truth, all of it? ...Even if that meant Father finding out and Blackstar being locked up or even killed? And did he really want Stein locked away, I mean how else would Blackstar have gotten that damned liquid if not the crazy scienist?' Kid sighed once more, too many thoughts and emotions going through his mind and heart.
Liz helped get Kid get changed, soon enough tucking him into his kind-sized bed and wrapping him up comfortably with the soft covers. "Just rest for now Kid and stay home from school tomorrow if you want, I'll cover for you. Although...I'd like you tell me everything, when you feel up to it, of course."
Kid nuzzled down into the blankets, glancing up at his weapon, "I thought you might...maybe tomorrow?"
"Whenever you're ready," Liz replied with a soft smile before bending down and kissing both sides of Kid's forehead to be even. "Just call me if you need anything, I'll keep Patty downstairs for you."
"Thanks..." he muttered before he watched Liz leave and gently shut the door behind her. Kid sighed and closed his eyes...most of the pain he felt now was inside his chest and he wasn't entirely sure why. He thoughts of the reasons if could be as he slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Liz was shocked to find her miester in the kitchen, yet not that shocked to find him measuring the circumfrence of his two fried eggs. Running a brush through her hair, Liz walked over, "Morning...sure you should be up, Kid?"
Kid glanced over at her and just smiled. "Yeah...I still feel a bit weaker than my normal self, but I realized a couple things while I was sleeping last night and they need to be fixed," he replied as he sat down and began eating at the kitchen table.
Liz blinked and sat down across from Kid as she asked, "Mind telling me what exactly your dreams told you?"
"Look, Liz, I thank you for yesterday, but I'll be alright now. I have a plan and you won't have to worry about me or my attacker. It will all be fixed today one way or another."
"Eh? You sound so positive after being raped...makes me wonder what the hell you're thinking," she said with a sigh.
Kid got up and washed his dish before drying and putting it away in it's right place. "Don't worry, depending on what happens today I may just find that out myself. Anyways, I'm leaving early so make sure Patty doesn't sleep in." He then walked into the living room and got his things together, sliding on his backpack.
"Will do...and do be careful, Kid."
He looked back into the kitchen and waved before walking out the door and heading towards the school. He was tried and yes, his shinigami powers weren't back in full yet, but he did feel better and stronger than he did yesterday. So perhaps that drug he was given didn't permanent effects, that maybe it just took a day or two to wear off completely.
Once at the school's front gates Kid sat down on the of the steps and waited for Blackstar to appear.

Blackstar woke up late...like usual. Tsubaki had finally managed to wake him up by throwing a book at his sleeping face. She didn't like to hurt people, but after yelling at him for fifteen minutes she got tried.
"Ow, MotherShinigamiInHell!" he yelled as he sat up and rubbed his red face with slight tears in the corner of his eyes. "What was THAT for, Tsubaki?"
She sighed and slid on her shoulderbag before looking over at him. "You're late, I'm leaving for school now so I'm not. If you hurry you may only miss the first five minutes of our first block," Tsubaki replied before leaving their apartment and headed towards their school.
He groaned before hurriedly getting dressed and only running a hand through his hair to brush it. Blackstar toasted a piece of bread while shoving all his papers and books into his bag. Once his toast was done he threw on his bag, grabbed his house keys and put the toast in his mouth before running out the door.
Blackstar ran as fast as he could, panting when he finally reached the gates. He grinned and was about to run inside and rub it in Tsubaki's face he made it before the last bell by just two minutes when movement got his eye.
Quickly turning and getting in a fighting stance, his eyes widened when he saw Death the Kid staring at him with an unreadable expression on his face. "Uh...hey, Kid," Blackstar muttered as he got out of his stance and scratched the back of his head.
Kid did not wish to be late or miss any class, but this was important so he took a deep breath and approached the running late Blackstar upon seeing him. He stared at the teal haired boy, rasing a brow when he heard the normal greeting. "...We need to talk Blackstar."
"Aw man...you're hear to kill me, right? Honestly I thought your father would be doing that last night," he chuckled out only a tad nervous. He was expecting this, wasn't he?
The shinigami blinked before letting out a small chuckle, "No, actually this isn't a bad talk. I thought about a lot last night and I came to a couple conclusions." He watched Blackstar's face twist in confusion and just smiled a little before gripping his rapist's arm, "Come with me please."
Blackstar was highly confused, but allowed Kid to lead them to a less public and spaceous area of the school where no one was. He stood there awkwardly thinking of something to say when he heard the final bell ring for first block. Before he could open his mouth he had clenched it shut in shock as Kid finally spoke.
"Blackstar, are you in love with me?"
