The Balance Between Siblings

Fade's p.o.v

How could I? I...I...how could I say such harsh things to Noire my bestest friend in the whole wide world! I don't want any other weapon but her. I'LL NEVER REPLACE HER! I refuse to. Here I sit sulking about this when I should be out there finding her, kissing her feet and begging for forgiveness! "Noire! I'm sorry! I'm a filthy reaper scum!" I screamed as I walked into her bedroom, the last one I haven't ripped to shreds. There on her nightstand is a picture of Noire with me eating asymmetrical donuts. "Noire! Come back to me!" I screamed and started destroying her room. As I started tearing up her bed, I found a picture of me under her pillow. Huh? Why is this here? I knew she was a creepy stalker. "That asymmetrical pervert!"

"Honey? What DID YOU JUST SAY!" OH CRAP MY DADDY IS HOME! Quick, think Fade, think. Where should I hide. "WHY IS THE HOUSE ASYMMETRICAL? WHERE IS KID! HE SHOULD BE BUSY CLEANING." Omg, omg, omg, omg! HER CLOSET IS STILL SYMMETRICAL!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DIE SYMMETRY DIE!" I started destroying the closet as my dad walked in.

"How about we go...Fade, Fade calm down. Just breathe."

"NOIRE LEFT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He chopped me with his super long hands, and I fell over with a nose bleed.

"Calm down. Now how about you just go find her before I get my hands on her and kick her ass for upsetting you this way." The room spun around me as I stood up, wiping the blood and tears away.

"Yes, that's what I'll do!" I'll find her, tie her up and cage her up in her bedroom till she forgives me. "Bye dad!" I ran out the house quickly and called up Kid.

"WHERE IS SHE!" I screamed into the phone when he answered.

"WELL HEY FADE. Your weapon here wants to say a few words to you."

"Don't make her talk through the phone while your threatening to shoot her hand, OR WORSE." He chuckled on the other line.

"Okay si- I mean uh...uh...Fade. I'll just bring her home, you sit tight."

"NO!" He hung up on me before I could ask to talk to her. THAT SYMMETRICAL LOVING FREAK. I walked back into the house as my father handed me a broom. SHIT!

"CLEAN THE HOUSE U...OH you're not Kid. My bad...uh when you see him, give it to him for me okay sweetie...So, how is things working out for you and Noire?" I shrugged laying the broom down by the door.

"It's coming along." I sighed and walked upstairs to Noire's bedroom to see what else she's been hiding. Maybe there is a guy she's not telling me about, and now she's trying to become his weapon AND NOT MINE! NOIRE, THERE BETTER NOT BE ONE! AHHHH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY LONGER. KID YOU BETTER HURRY YOUR SYMMETRICAL LOVING BUTT UP. Now.

Noire's p.o.v.

I can't believe I got away from that symmetrical loving jerk! Ok, now to get out of here before Liz and Patti detraumatize him. I'm so dead! Should I surrender? Hell no! I can't take much more of their fights! I need more sleep! She would sooner think that I am a traitor than believe that I love helping her mess with Kid! Why me? I just... Ok, I admit I miss her a little, but I am not going back!

I walked down the streets trying to blend in as I made my way to the airport. I gotta get out of here! Oh crud.... I picked a fight with Kid. I'm screwed! Even if I can make him faint, I can't do it forever! Eventually he'll get me! I'm going to die.... Why am I freaking out? When I die, Kid will dance on my grave along with Fade. Eh, just forget about it. If it's meant to happen, who am I to stop it? Craaaap! It's not working! I wanna live! Just calm down! You are almost there!

"And where do you think you're going?" Shit, the little symmetry loving creep is right behind me! How did he recover that fast? Oh wait... Thanks Liz. I totally applaud you.

"Damn it! Just let me go Kid! I can't stand it anymore! She said something mean this time! Sh- she called me a traitor and a symmetrical jerk! Don't make me go back!" I turned around to face him.

"No, I'm not going to let you go. I wouldn't hear the end of it from both my dad and Fade. Dad would be pissed off, and Fade would be crying asymmetrically! Knowing her, the house is probably in- No! The house! Don't you go anywhere!" He raced off in the direction of the manor with Liz shouting at him to go back and Patti laughing her ass off. Holy crap! The world must be in my favor right now. Oh wait, no it's not. Dang it! Leave me alone! Liz and Patti left Kid and came back to get me on their own.

"Sorry, we got to take you with us," Liz said.

"Liz, please! You know what it's like living in that house with the two of them!"

"Yeah, but life would be terrible without them. Just come back with us. Fade misses you, and Kid will kill you if you don't. You see, the house will be out of balance because Fade will be out of her mind making everything asymmetrical because she doesn't know what to do. I know that they are spoiled rich brats-"

"Hey, sis! Guess what! The sky is blue!"

"Not helping Patti!"

"But everyone should know that the sky is blue!"

"We already knew that. Ok, here's the jist. Come back with us, or we will make you. Patti, transform!"

"Oh my gosh, look sis! It's a cute little stuffed giraffe!"

"Patti."

"Oh, right." She transformed into her gun. Shit. I'm screwed. Goodbye life, hello captivity.

"Liz come on."

"Just give up! You aren't going anywhere!"

"I'm back!" Kid came running towards Liz. No, no, no, no! I can't believe this! Damn it! Ruuuun! I started running away as Liz and Patti became guns, and Kid reassumed being the symmetrical loving bastard that chases me around Death City because his sister cried.

"Just leave me alone!"

"Why would I do that? She already called once to see if I caught you, and I had to lie! I can't even go back to the manor to fix it until I get you! I'm not going to be playing around anymore!"

"Kid, I like you, but, no offence, GO AWAY!"

"Not until I get you! I can't show my face even in my own house if I can't get you! I'm a damn Grim Reaper, and I can't even go home!" I looked over my shoulder to see a pissed off Kid chasing me, but I ran into some random guy when I did. Kid dropped Liz and Patti. "Alright you two. Help me get her back to the Manor."

"As long as this ridiculous chase is over." Craaaaaaap.

~Time Skip~

Fade's p.o.v.

"DAMN YOU LET ME GO! SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME." Could that be...Noire yelling downstairs. Their back!

"Not until you hear what my... I mean Fade has to say to you." I heard Kid telling Noire.

"Damn you!" Hahahahaha. I bet the struggle is real downstairs.

"Fade! I brought you a gift. Come and get the sacrifice!" I heard Kid say as Patti started making Indian noises.

"No Patti! Cut that out." Liz scolded. She's back. I quickly ran downstairs seeing Patti dancing around Death the Kid and Noire. Liz stood out of the little circle looking angered as she yelled at Patti.

"Noire!" I screamed as I ran towards the group not thinking and Kid let Noire go starting to freak out about the asymmetric room and fell to his knees getting a nose bleed, making me trip over him. My face landed right on top of Noire's feet. "Noire! You came back for me just like I knew you would!" I hugged her ankles and kissed her feet. "By the way, I'm going to so never let go. You shall never escape from me again!" I looked up at her with tears in my eyes. "Please forgive me?"

"Awww crap, you're too cute for your own good. Fine, I forgive you for what you said to me. Damn it Kid! Pull yourself together! It's just an asymmetrical room! If it bothers you, then clean it! What happened to 'I'm a damn Grim Reaper'! Seriously, the only one that makes the most sense here is Liz, and she still isn't completely sane to me! She freaks out at anything that has to do with ghosts, but she was a damn person who used to walk around the cities like she owned them!"

"Hey Kid, Fade, noire, Liz, and Patti. WAIT A MINUTE, NOIRE! YOUR BACK. HOW DARE YOU PUT FADE INTO THAT KIND OF MADNESS. LOOK AT MY HOUSE, ITS RUINED. I THINK I'LL PUT YOU ON CLEANING DUTY WITH KID FOR THE NEXT MONTH. Have fun." I looked up at my father and stood up dusting myself off quickly. "So anyways, Kid, Fade. I want to ask you something." OH GOD, WHAT DOES HE WANT WITH THE BOTH OF US?

"Yes?" I asked standing up straighter. Will this be it? Will he finally let me go to that stupid academy. I hope so. I want to see why Kid is so fascinated with it.

"TOO BUSY CLEANING!" Kid yelled as he grabbed the broom, but then dad hit him on the head, and he fell with a nosebleed.

"I just want to ask if you want to watch the sunset with me this evening." DAMN YOU! WHY WON'T YOU ASK ME. IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION...MORE LIKE A STATEMENT. YOU'RE GOING TO START ATTENDING DWMA WITH KID. That's all I want to hear. "Hey Fade, you look a bit angry. Are you ok?"

"Yes, I'll go watch the stupid sunset with you, only if Kid comes." That away when daddy tells me that he will be there to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Wait a minute, why should I? I guess I could go watch the sunset, if I'm done fixing the house in time. Are you sure you're cool with that Fade? We never really do this kind of thing. In fact, normally you beat around the bush to try to get out of spending time like that with me. This shall be interesting. what so different about this time?" he asked leaning against the broom and starring me down... Ahhhh! Stop asking questions you symmetry lover!

"Just want to spend time with my family." I pouted and pulled Noire out of the room and upstairs to have alone time. I need to know why a picture of me is under her pillow. "Alright you, why do you have a picture of me up under your pillow?" I asked her in a hushed tone as we walked into my destroyed room. It looked like a tornado went through it.

"How do you know about that?"

"Well...I sort of went through your room. Don't worry! I saved it for last cause you're awesome! Anyways I saw it under your pillow. Do I really mean so much to you? Then why would you leave me? Was it to teach me a lesson? I totally learned it!' I wrapped my arms around her then messed up her hair and laughed.

"Hell no! I wouldn't leave just to teach you a lesson! I can do that easily from right here! No, I left because you were saying mean things. I couldn't take it anymore, so I left. Th- the picture is there because... because I get scared sometimes when I'm not near you, so I put a copy of one of your pictures under the pillow, so I wouldn't sit outside your door like I did when we started getting along really well. Kid would find me sleeping outside your door every morning, so he eventually got sick of waking me up and gave a picture to keep. Seriously, my hair would be messed up, and I would wake up to him fixing it with Liz and Patti helping him. Patti wouldn't do anything though. All she did was poke my face. I couldn't let that keep happening!" I chuckled as she told me the unnecessary story. Is she trying to hide more?

"so, you feel safer near me...I know how to solve this...I'm going to knock that wall down that separates us!" I pointed at the wall then decided that's a bit to exhausting for me to do...yet, it would be fun to see Kid freak out!

"What are you talking about?!? I'm going to go get Liz to look at you!" Noire started to pull away.

"Nope, not going anywhere. I decided that for now I'll just sleep by you till I can get proper equipment to knock it down, and when I do, kid will be there to see!" I held her close to me and giggled. I might be a bit crazy...

"Oh my gosh! Did you get into Patti's happy pills?!? How many did you take?!? Kid will kill you for even talking about this! Why won't you let me go? I shouldn't have said anything! How am I going to explain why you won't leave me alone even at night?"

"We won't have to explain if we don't tell anyone, otherwise you can just keep being scared...but yet I don't want that so I'm going to stay by your side and protect you!!!!!!!!!! And no, I didn't take any happy pills." I let her go, dusting myself off and looked around my room thinking.

"I don't get scared. Pfft, why would I get scared? Anyways, the weapon is supposed to protect the meister, not the other way around silly. Um... Fade? I hate to say this, but I think Kid brushed your hair out when you weren't paying attention...." I gasped and looked into the mirror.

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KID I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" I left Noire standing there as I took off on my search to find Kid.

Noire's p.o.v.

Poor Kid.... Wait, what am I saying? This is payback! I'm not going to hold her back at all! Well, as long as she doesn't kill him.... I need to start cleaning before Lord Death gets mad. Why is he sooooo scary?!? Nobody else has noticed! I started cleaning Fade's room while she chased Kid around downstairs. Did he just shout something like "You're making my shirt asymmetrical with that paint! Stop it before I murder you!"? Should I try to even understand? Naw, it's not my problem. When I finished her room (beautiful asymmetry of course but without the mess), I moved on to my room, then Kid's. Holy crap! She did a number on my room! That took forever! Kid's room is almost as bad too! Good thing he hasn't seen it. I can picture it now!

~In my head~

"Liz, I'm going to my room now! Make sure you don't forget to make Fade do the laundry!"

"Ok Kid!" He walked into his room completely oblivious to the mess. "Ah perfect symmetry. My only refuge is this room!" He stopped in his tracks. "Nooooo! This is all wrong! That book is supposed to be right next to 'Alice in Wonderland' on my bookshelf! This pillow is supposed to be on my bed instead of on the windowsill! That bookshelf is supposed to be right side up instead of on it's side. My computer is supposed to be on my desk instead of my closet! What the hell?!? My closet! Why are my clothes everywhere?!? My favorite jacket! Noooo! Someone ripped it to shreds! My bed has something carved into it.... 'Fade was here.' WHAT! IT'S WRITTEN ALL CROOKED!!!

Oh no, I just replaced that door this morning too! My poster of perfect symmetry is torn on the left but not on the right! My trashcan is knocked over, and all of my failures are everywhere now! The humanity! Is that what I think it is? A cat doll?" He walked over to it and picked it up. "Oh the symmetry on this doll is excellent! How beautiful! Oh hell no!" He threw it out the window. "Die! Die, die, die, die, die, die, die (haha 8 dies)! That doll wasn't symmetrical! It was an exact replica of the doll in Anubis! Oh Anubis! I can't take it anymore! My refuge has been defiled by one evil person! I must deliver my revenge fully and hold nothing back! But first, I'm going to faint." He fainted on the floor and muttered for a while.

~No more head theater~

Oh wait. That wasn't in my head. I just watched Kid find his room a complete mess. See, there he is on the floor now. He looks kind of funny.... Is he feeling alright?

"I'm going to get you Fade if it's the last thing I do! Dad might kill me for what I am going to do, but I have no choice."

"Fade's best friend and weapon is in the same room with you Kid. Are you sure you should be talking about that in front of me? Or do you think I'm completely weak?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!?"

"I was about to clean it before you got up here, but it appears that I was too late. Hey Kid, you look kind of funny. Your face is green. Are you an alien?"

"I am not an alien Noire."

"Then what are you?"

"I'm a- a- Noooo! I don't want to accept it! I will never be like you Fade! You hear me! NEVER!!!!!!!!!"

"Um Kid, calm down before you become a rainbow."

"What?"

"Well, first you were green, then you turned blue, then you turned purple, then you turned red, after that you turned yellow. Now you are pink. Why are you pink? Is this what I heard was called a blush? OH MY GOSH!!!! LIZ, PATTI!!!!!! KID'S BLUSHING!!!!!! WAIT, HE FAINTED! SOMEONE GET A BUCKET OF WATER!!!"

"HE FAINTED?!?" Liz shouted.

"YEAH!!! HE....WAIT, HE IS GETTING BACK UP!!!! HE'S ALIVE!!!! Wait, Kid! Where are you going? ....Oh. I'm coming Fade! I'll rescue you somehow! Never mind!!! Kid can be scary, shesh. Why did he have to look at me like that for? LIZ!!! YOU NEED TO DISCIPLINE YOUR GRIM REAPER BEFORE HE BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH!!!! Ack- I think I'll just go now.... DAMN IT KID! STOP SHOOTING ME DEATH GLARES!!!!! I CAN DO IT TOO YOU KNOW!!!"

"Noire, just go to your room."

"Last time I checked I wasn't Fade. You can't just send me to my room."

"Wanna bet?" He gave me a creepy smile as he stared at me.

"Kid. Seriously, go eat a symmetrical cookie or something." He started walking towards me and dragged me to my room. "Stay here."

"But it's scary!"

"Just go to sleep or something!"

"Fade took my picture you gave me!"

"She what now?"

"She took the picture that helped me sleep at night because she found it. I ended up telling her that I used to sleep outside her door until you gave it to me, and the only way to prove I wasn't scared of being alone was to give her the picture! I don't have it anymore! It- it's scary by myself! Don't make me stay here!" I started to cry.

"Shit. FADE! I NEED THAT DAMN PICTURE BACK!"

"Why?" Crap, she's in the doorway now! My life just gets better and better! The dark is closing in....

"Just give me the stupid picture."

"You don't need a picture of me."

"Why would I want it? I just want to give it to Noire, so she will stop crying."

"She's crying?"

"Fade, give me the picture!"

"No! Why give her a damn picture when she can have the real thing?"

"Are you saying that you are going to put up with this?"

"No, I'm saying you will. See ya later." She shut the door leaving me alone with Kid.

"Your scary. Go away."

"Well that's mean."

"It's not my fault that you glared at me earlier." I was still crying, but I crawled over to my bed and grabbed my teddy bear that I hid under it. "Tell anyone about this teddy bear, and you'll wish you were never born." I gave him the biggest scary face that I have ever tried out.

"Pfft. That doesn't work on you when you are holding that bear."

"I told you to leave me alone."

"Why should I leave when you are crying like that?"

"Because I can... I don't know. I guess I can just randomly walk over to my desk and move my laptop two inches to the left. Can you go now?"

"No."

"This is my room."

"Don't care."

"This is my private space."

"For some reason, I just don't feel like leaving."

"How very gentleman like."

"Uh... I'm going. Bye!" He left my room as I started to get up to move the laptop.

"GOOD! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!"
