Chapter 1: Who I am
Life hasn't been the same ever since I have made him as a friend. Ever since I met Daisuke, it all had changed. I have become an official protector. I protect the living and the dead. I make sure nothing bad happens to us all. Heh, I make myself sound like a super heroine. Well I feel like I am. I mean, no one knows about my 'gift' except for Hitomi; well, she also helps me fight. She's the sidekick. I feel as if I am a super heroine. During the day, I am a 'normal' high school student, who works as a dance instructor. At night, or whenever there is trouble, I become someone else. I am a Shinigami. Let me tell you how it all started.
It was about one year ago; I was out with my parents, my brother, and my sister-in-law, Mika. We were at the park, spending time together. It was what I called a 'Kodak Moment'. We were there for about two hours, when I heard a growl. I looked around from where I was seated, panicking. I have heard these noises ever since I was a child and with that noise, always came a ferocious looking monster. Once I had my arm broken since that monster attack me. I was on my full guard on. My brother saw my face and he knew instantly something was wrong. He also was able to see these monsters as well as ghosts, like me. He suggested to us all that we should go since it was getting late. Then suddenly, the growl was extremely loud and the ground began to shake. There it was; the monster with the masked face. 'Hollow...' I thought, 'Where is Daisuke?' My parents got scared, as did Mika. They were not scared as I was. "Run!" screamed Kai. Kai, my parents, and Mika ran, but I stayed put.
'Where is he?' I kept thinking over and over. My red eyes were searching the park, but also keeping watch as the Hollow got closer and closer. Then out of no where, Daisuke had appeared before me. "Run Tsukiko, I got this." I simply nodded and ran towards my family. As I ran, I could hear Daisuke fighting off the Hollow. But something then went wrong. In a flash, the Hollow appeared behind my family. "NO!" I screamed, but it was too late. In one swipe, my mother and father were gone. Kai and Mika barely made it out. I just stopped running and stood there. Daisuke got back into the action but got injured as well. "Daisuke!" I screamed and began to run towards him. He was bleeding fast, and it wasn't stopping. "Tsukiko, do you want to help your family? Protect the living and the dead?" "Yes, yes I do. Tell me what to do?" "Take my Zanpakutou and drive it through your heart." I grabbed his sword and right when the Hollow was about to attack, I rammed it through my heart.
The next thing I knew, I was wearing an outfit similar to Daisuke's, but different. The top in the shape of a halter, the pants, knee high and tight, and the shoes were ballet flats, and I had gloves with a metal plate on it. Unsheathing my sword, I quickly jumped and killed the Hollow. It was as if I just knew what to do. Once it had disappeared, I sheathed my new Zanpakutou and ran towards Daisuke. He was lying on the ground, bleeding. 'I still have my powers? How can that be possible...I was meaning to lend her my powers, but I guess she finally accessed the ones she owns herself.' "Daisuke...how-what can I do to help you?" "There's nothing you can do now. I have to move on...but I want to give you something that will now help you along your new journey." With that said, he placed two fingers onto my forehead, and with that, I gained new knowledge. I learned everything that he knew. "Arigato Daisuke-kun." I said, tears brimming in my eyes. "Please send me back to the Soul Society and don't forget to send your parents as well." "Hai." I grabbed my Zanpakutou once again and with the hilt, I pressed it onto his forehead. "Bye Daisuke...I'll miss you." And with that, he was back to where he belonged. I then turned around and walked towards my parents bodies. "Mom...Dad." My parents where standing there next to their bodies and once they heard me, they turned their heads towards me. "Mom, dad, I love you both so much." I ran towards them and hugged them both. "It's time for you to go to a better place. I'll miss you." With that, I did the same thing to them as I did to Daisuke. They left to the Soul Society. All that was left was three black butterflies. With that I blacked out.
Now it has been one year. I have kept doing my Shinigami duties and with help as well. I go training with a family friend and with Hitomi, who comes along. I have changed over that one year. I don't care what people say about me, but once they say something about a loved one, I would hurt them. I had to learn to defend myself because if I didn't know how, I would perhaps be dead right now. I used to be hurt emotionally and physically since I looked different. Kids would call me a demon when I was little because of my eyes, and now, I just ignore them and go on with my life. As the years went by, I finally understood that I was meant to be different. Yup, I was meant to be different alright.
