(A/N): Hello there! Wonderful to see you my dear reader, I am very excited for this fic, mostly because I've planned it all down, even to the end, which I never do. You see, every time I start a story it goes well the first two chapters but then my mind is completely blank! God damn plot bunnies that will only think of the beginning of the story. So yeah, I hope I don't lose interest in this one :D So, let's get one thing straight, this thing is going to be divvied into arcs, according to my plan it should be around 6 arcs, it might change like everything else in the story. So yeah, let's do this thing!
Oh and btw, I will keep the rating a M for now, if you think that I'm rating the fic wrong and it should be lower(T), let me know and I'll change the rating :)

Arc One.
The Fallen
Chapter 1. Foolish Sorrow.

A young girl was sitting by herself in a chair in her room. Her name was Reiki, she had red hair and red eyes, which was odd considering her mom's hair was brown and her father's blonde. Reiki knew that her father accused her mother of cheating; her mom of course denied that. Although this had put strain on her parent's relationship at first, her parents eventually balanced it out, putting their child's happiness first.
Besides her weird hair color and eye color, Reiki had lived a pretty much normal life, she had a couple of friends at school, she liked to use the computer and had a boyfriend.
You could say her life was pretty much plain, but she liked it.
Her boyfriend's name was Kenta, she had been in a relationship with him for a year and a half, they had been friends before that but they decided to take it up the next step.
The only problem was, Kenta lived in another country, which meant most of their interactions were on the computer, they used a lot's of programs to keep in touch, Instant Messenger, Facebook and Skype to name a few. They however always visited each other when it was summer, first he came over to her and then she came over to his country, and now it was his turn to come over to Japan. In fact, Kenta should contact her soon about his trip, she would have to know that details when he would come and such.

Reiki perked up when she saw Kenta's avatar go online.
She started the conversation.

Rei-Rei Says: Hi Kenta! :*
Kenta Says: Hi there Reiki
Rei-Rei Says: Why the full name? You usually call me Rei
Kenta Says: Listen Reiki, I need to talk to you.
Rei-Rei Says: About what? Your trip to Japan? :)
Kenta Says: Jeez Reiki, you're making this harder as it is.
Kenta Says: I need to talk to you about our relationship Reiki

Reiki froze and suddenly felt a bad feeling in her stomach.

Rei-Rei Says: Go on..
Kenta Says: Look, I've been thinking a lot lately and I've reached a conclusion about us.
We're such different people and we're both at a different time in our lives, I just..
Reiki, I don't think this relationship is working out.
Rei-Rei Says: W-what? You can't really mean that Kenta.. I mean we've almost been together for two years!
Kenta Says: I'm sorry Rei-chan, thanks for everything.
Kenta has gone offline.

Reiki must have stared at the white screen for a minute, completely still, unable to handle reality, Kenta had been her first boyfriend, the first boy she really trusted ever.
Slowly tears began to run down her face which was still emotionless. A little voice in her head guessed that she must be in shock, and was wondering when it would kick in.

"Kenta, I'm so happy!" Reiki screamed as they flew down in the rollercoaster.
"Me too!" He replied though he seemed deathly scared. Kenta had always been afraid of heights, he was only doing it for her.
They excited the coaster and went to buy some candy floss, they didn't have enough money for it in the end so they decided on sharing it.
The two fourteen year olds trotted up a hill close to the woods, the night was beginning and the stars were shining.
"When can I open my eyes?" She heard a chuckle.
"When I say so. Trust me, this will definitely be worth waiting for."
Soon she felt him put a hand on her shoulder and whisper gently 'Open them.'
It was beautiful, there was a white fuzzy blanket on the grass and in the corners to hold it down were four lit lanterns, one in each corner. Combined with the darkness of the night and mystery of the stars it was so pretty.
"Come."
Kenta walked to the blanket and lied down, patting the spot next to him. She lied down beside him smiling.
"Kenta this is so beautiful, tha-" She was cut off by the finger on her lips.
"I'm not done yet." He smiled a friendly smile at her. Reached into his pocket and drew up a little black box. He gave it to her, and she gently opened it, hesitant to say anything.
In the box was a silver necklace with a red emerald-like stone in the middle. Reiki felt herself tear up at this.
"I thought it might go well with your eyes." She slowly put the necklace and box down and then lounged herself at Kenta, whispering thank you's as she hugged him. Kenta just laughed and slowly, Reiki pulled back, looking into his eyes. Bit by bit, their faces started to get closer, their eyelids closing and when their lips met, Reiki felt that she was truly happy.

They had cuddled the rest of that night. It had been Kenta's first real present to her.
Reiki moved the cursor to the internet window and typed in 'facebook'. She was still crying, not sobbing, but tears were running down her face and weird little whimpers escaped her lips.
She looked at Kenta's profile.
'In a relationship'
What? But Kenta had dumped her right? Why hadn't he changed the status?
A small shred of hope made its way into Reiki's chest. Just maybe..
She clicked on the 'in a relationship'
Kenta Tousiki is in a relationship with Miru Iwate
W-what?
Reiki watched with glistening eyes as her hand moved the cursor to Miru Iwate's name. The page took a minute to load, and then the profile of a cute girl with blonde hair popped up.
She clicked on the profile picture.
The girl was blonde, had blue eyes and a beautiful smile, her skin was evenly tanned and her pink top showed just how large her bust was.
Reiki hesitantly looked down on her chest, second later a sob broke out through her lips.
Reiki shot up from her sitting position knocking her chair backwards in the process, her hair covered her eyes as she kept sobbing.
He had dumped her.
She was almost sure that she liked him very much.. That she almost loved him?
She had been thinking of telling him it sometime. Why hadn't she acted on it? It might have prevented this.. this.
She felt a horrible feeling manifest in her torso, lungs and stomach. She felt like she couldn't breathe, she could hear her intense sobs as she stood there crying. Slowly the sound became to become deaf to her ears, she couldn't hear anything, only the ringing in her ears as she felt the white hot pain sour through her body.

Why hadn't he wanted her? A feeling of Dread in her stomach told her that she already knew..
It was because she hadn't wanted to go far with him right? She wasn't ready, she told him to wait, he had grown tired of waiting. And found this.. Miru.
Reiki was shocked by how bitter the mouth sounded in her thoughts, yet the white searing hot pain was turning.. Changing.. Manifesting into..
Anger.
Reiki stilled, she was completely motionless, there was complete silence in the room.
And at that moment something horrible happened, something that would change Reiki's life beyond reparation.
She screamed such an ear shattering scream that the old lady in the apartment next to theirs was sure to hear it.
She fell down on her knees as the anger filled through her body, and the scream which began as a scream of anguish turned into s scream of wrath.
Her sclera slowly turned pitch black, and so did the tears that continued to run down her face, but this time the tears were like dirty mud, running down slowly, infecting everything in its way.
Soon the shadows in the room started to move, coming in her direction.
The shadows crawled over her small form on the ground, scattering their way on her body, covering her like a second skin. Her sclera was black, her skin was black and she felt an intense pain in her teeth as the flesh mutated and the teeth got longer and pointier. Sharper.

Right in that moment, her father opened the door, a scowl and a worried expression on his face, why had his daughter been screaming?
The sight he saw was frightening.
His once beautiful daughter was sitting in a crouch on the floor, her head turned sharply in his direction as he opened the door. Her skin had turned pitch black, her eyes were still as red as ever but instead of the white sclera was now black darkness, from her eyes leaked a mud-like substance, and if Takumi hadn't been so terrified, he would have wondered if it hurt.
His first thought upon his entrance in the room, was Monst- But he wasn't able to finish that thought because at the second, his demon of a daughter grinned, showing of a row of pointed teeth.
With speed never seen before by the father the demon ran at him, hands suddenly a dangerous weapons with claws on.
A hair-raising gurgle was heard when the demons hand penetrated through the man's ribcage, taking a hold on something very precious.
And the most dreadful thing was, the expression on his daughter demonic face was not of sadistic kind, but a pure expression of joy. One would say that the expression was almost 'angelic' but the black skin, dark tears and black and red eyes told another thing.
And with one rip, one person's life was gone, and one person's purity was gone.
Takumi fell down on his knees, his lifeless eyes looking straight at his own heart in the deformed hand of his daughter, his corpse then fell face straight on the floor.
His daughter stepped over him, walking into the living room.
Her mother, which was in her late thirties was sitting on the couch, was thinking about her husband who had gone to check on their daughter, to check if she had hurt herself. She chuckled humorlessly, those teenagers. It was probably some issue with clothes or something.. Ah she remembered when she was at that age, everything was either horrible or delightful..
Miyoko froze for a second when she heard someone move behind the couch, she relaxed instantly when her subconscious reminded her that it was just her husband. She grinned lazily without looking back and said
"You're back huh? What was the matter this tim-" Her words died out as something fell in her lap.

Miyoko's eyes widened and her pupils shrank, as the bloodied vessel in her lap twitched a few times, blood spluttering out lazily.
Miyoko screamed.
The difference between Takumi's death and Miyoko's was that, Miyoko never got to see her murderer, maybe it was for the best.
When both human life forms inside the apartment were dead, there was nothing left for the demon to do than wrack havoc upon the living room.
Windows were shattered, couches ripped, some parts of the floor, which were made of wood, were ripped up, showing the building material beneath. All vases were broken along the dishes and her moms' favorite china set.
And with a final roar the old family picture was thrown at the floor, shattering.
Slowly, the shadows began to dissolve from Reiki's shattered form.

Soo, how was the chappy?
Yes, I know, that was brutal but it was important for future character development. One of the Akatsuki will make an appearance in the next chapter, I wonder who it will be? ;)
Here is a riddle(of kind)to give you a hint
The thing that relates to the Akatsuki member
1. A predator
2. This member has a body part that is often named after one of the eight planets.

I would like to hear your thoughts about this :3
