Chapter 1
SHADOW'S P.O.V.
I walked up the walk way into the school. Only days ago Lord Death called me here to congratulate me for my recent victory as a spy for arachnophobia the witch Arachne's organization the Kishin was killed only 4 weeks ago and in the battle I was badly injured by the compressed madness wave length. I made my way down the hall and walked into the Death Room. Lord Death and his son Death The Kid were talking so I shrank back into the shadows and waited for them to be finished. Finally Lord Death noticed my presence and called me forth.
KID'S P.O.V.
I followed fathers eyes and saw a girl, she had long black hair and was wearing a cloak with it's hood down. As she emerged from the shadows I saw that her skin was as, if not paler than, mine. She had black eye shadow that framed her bright purple eyes. And her lips were blood red. She was perfectly symmetrical. Her hair fluttered across my face as she walked, no, glided past me she came to a stop in front of father. He greeted her with his usual "Whas sup?" she removed a strand of hair from her eyes. And greeted him with a cheerful "Came like you told me to! Was up wich you?" her voice was sweet yet could be frightening if she wanted to be. Father patted her head and she growled at him. Like I said she could be frightening if she wanted to be. Well, my case rested Father shrank back and she apologized and begged forgiveness she said she has been wary of contact by any living creature since the battle. Father was understanding and told her to take some time off. She looked up at him and smiled gratefully.
"thank you so much! I must be going now."
"w-wait!" I called without thinking.
She looked at expectantly but I was just frozen.
"W- what's your name?" I finally stammered.
She smiled coyly and replied "Shadow, Dark Shadow, but call me Shadow."
And with hat she left.
SHADOW'S P.O.V.
I ran. Embarrassed by the way I had looked at Kid.. It's unforgivable. He isn't mine. No one's mine, no one wants to be mine. What was I thinking? That he might fall in love with me? No, no one loves me because I'm the closest thing this world has to a vampire. I'm a 'soul sucker' a shadow. An animal. A killer. Not human. My feet pounded the ground and I jumped down the stairs taking seven steps at a time. My lithe figure allowed me to land lightly and perfectly then launch my self another seven steps. At the bottom I lifted my hood over my face and walked I heard a mew behind me so I turned around to see a purple cat.
"It's been a while. Hasn't it, mother?"
