Shinigami-sama's Assistants
Chapter 1: Secret Revealed
Full Summary: FemRyo! What if Ryoma was a Grim reaper for a long time? Not your regular Grim Reaper that is. But why do these demons keep on appearing? She calls The Shinigami-Sama and Shinigami-Sama decides that she and a couple of other Grim Reapers are now assigned to find the person who let them out. One thing's for sure is that, it won't be easy if your sempai-tachis' saw you kill a demon and the person who let them out keeps on disappearing.
Mikan: Ciao! If you're asking why I created another story instead of finishing my other story, here's my answer. I created this because it was bothering me. Oh and because I need something else to write while I wait for people to make techniques for Riya in Seigaku's Princess. If you haven't read it, please read it. Okay hope you enjoy! Oh and I kind of got this idea from Night of the Red Moon by Ayingott. So please forgive me if it kind of sounds the same. If it does sound EXACTLY the same, I will put up a poll with two options. First option is to change it a bit and the plot itself and the second option is for me to delete this story and never look back. Okay on with the first chapter!
P.S Vamprin owns the picture of this story. She was kind enough to let me borrow it.

"Talking" 'Thoughts' "Shinigami-Sama or Demon talking" -Time Skip/Place- *Action*
Currently in Seishun Gakuen or Seigaku for short, the sound of balls hitting against a racket was taking place. The tennis club was currently practicing and getting ready to run away from Inui' special golden power remix juice. Why running away from juice you say? Well, let's just say that normal people won't be able to drink that without risking possible death.
"Okay! We are going to run laps! I will put out drinks here and be sure to complete each lap in 1 minute." Inui explained as the regulars and non-regulars were taking place.
"Ready, get set. GO!"
As soon as said go, they all ran. They were doing great so far and were able to get each lap in 1 minute each time but there were some that weren't able to. Some were falling behind and had to stop running and take a drink. But what they didn't notice was that Inui had changed the drink and was now carrying a pitcher that was somewhat eerie feeling about it. Once they had drunk it, they had fallen down while some were unconscious with foam in their mouths. The regulars had seen it and was petrified… well except for Fuji.
"We're going to change it. Now you have to complete the last lap in 50 seconds. For the people who don't finish it at the right time, *Brings up pitcher* will have to drink my special golden power remix juice." Inui announced as the sun was glinting his glasses.
In the end, they were able to do it but were in a tie when they arrived. Fortunately they were able to avoid drinking the juice.
"Practice is over!" Tezuka yelled. They gathered their stuff and headed towards the locker room, for Ryoma it was the girl's locker room but there was this eerie feeling that made Ryoma stop. The feeling continued and it made Ryoma frown. 'Why is there is demon here?' She thought as she tried to track where exactly the demon was. 'It's on the right side of the school, huh.'Her frown deepened more and walked where the feeling was, but was seen by Momo.
"Hey Echizen, where're you going?" Momo yelled as he stared at Ryoma's retreating figure. Ryoma stopped and turned around and saw Momo looking at her.
"No where Momo-sempai! Besides, it's none of your business." Ryoma responded with a smirk on her face. Somehow that reply made Momo mad; you could even see the 'ticked off' mark on his head. He was about yell at Ryoma but before he could, Tezuka interrupted him.
"Momo get changed or you will run laps tomorrow!"
Momo flinched, and replied.
"H-hai!" He went into the locker room but brought his head out and saw that Ryoma had disappeared. 'Heh, gaki, I'm going to get back at you.'
Meanwhile with Ryoma
Ryoma had built up a barrier so that way, no one sees what they're not supposed to see. She went around the corner of the school and a black light engulfed it but soon disappeared. On the other side of the corner was now a new dressed Ryoma. Her hair was now no longer in a ponytail but was now down on her back. She wore a black necklace that had a cross on it with black glove one each of her hands. She was wearing a black hooded cloak on top of her black ruffled blouse that had a bow on its chest. She was wearing black mid-thigh shorts that had a white belt, knee-high black socks, and black shoes (I know black everything except for belt, black for death). In her hand was a large scythe; the snath (the stick part of the scythe) was pure black and the blade was silver that had a zigzag across the middle of the blade.
"Come out, now." Ryoma spoke with a smirk but soon faded when the demon did not answer her command. So she brought her hand out and swept it against her eyes. Her eyes now changed into Red crimson eyes instead of her golden cat-like eyes. She smirked once again when the area around her started changing; no longer the colorful area it was, now the color of blood and death, red and black. In front of her was a demon. One that was scrawny, ugly looking and had big dumps on its head to its back. For the demon's hand was just a big long claw and once small finger and for its feet were just two normal toes but seemed bigger. The face was big; it had narrow eyes, no nose instead just two holes in the middle, big teeth, and was drooling from its mouth.
"Heh, found you."
Ryoma then dashed forward and swung her scythe but missed. The demon had jumped up and was preparing to crush the girl under it. Ryoma saw this one coming, so she did a back flip. Ryoma and monster dashed forward at the same time. Ryoma swung her scythe while the demon swung its claw, seeing which one was the strongest. Ryoma pushed more force to the scythe as she smirked at the demon's reaction.
"I wonder what kind of level of a demon you are. Are you new? No matter, you will lose." Ryoma taunted her opponent but the demon seemed mad by what Ryoma had said.
The demon swung his other claw towards Ryoma's side but not fast enough. Ryoma jumped up and roundhouse kicked the demon on the face. The demon flew back but stood back up and dashed forward once again but missed its target. Ryoma had side-stepped to the side attempting to swing her scythe behind the monster's back but was grabbed by the monster. The monster grabbed her leg and threw her forward to the barrier with much force.
-Mean while with the rest of the regulars-
"Eh? Where's Echizen?" Momo asked to himself. Momo and the rest of the regulars were already done changing but Ryoma didn't appear, so Momo checked by knocking on the girl's locker room. But there was no response, so he went inside and saw nobody. So he decided to head outside where the rest of the regulars were waiting.
"Where's Ochibi-chan?" Eiji asked Momo.
"I don't know Eiji-sempai. I think she left without us." Momo answered.
"There's no way that Ochi-"Eiji was unable to finish his sentence because a certain tensai had interrupted him.
"Shhhh. Did you guys hear that?" Fuji asked as he opened his eyes.
"Huh? No we didn't hear anything Fuji-sempai/Fuji" Momo and Eiji responded.
Fuji didn't speak back; instead he looked to where the noise was from. He pointed where the noise was from while the rest of the regulars were staring at the side of the building.
-With Ryoma-
There was a cracking sound when Ryoma fell to the ground. The barrier was breaking like glass. Ryoma attempted to stand up but the demon took this moment to tackle her with so much force. The force broke the barrier; the area was no longer the color of blood and death instead was now the colorful place it was before. They both flew off and landed on the ground but Ryoma had kicked the demon on top of her causing the monster to go back. Ryoma didn't see the regulars staring at her because she was so focused on the monster in front of her.
-The Regulars-
There was a crashing sound that caused the regulars to flinch. Dust gathered around the area but the dust was clearing up. The regulars were trying to block the dust from going to their eyes and mouth. Once the dust was gone they opened their eyes and saw Ryoma on the ground wearing different clothes. There was a moment to confirm if it was really Ryoma.
"Lil data." Inui said as he pushed his glasses closer to his eyes.
"Is that Ryoma?" Taka asked as he squinted to look at the person on the ground.
"It is… It is!"
Momo ran forward with the rest of the regulars but stopped in front of the group causing the rest of them to fall on top of each other's back.
"Momo, why did you stop?" Tezuka asked as he tried to get Fuji off him but Momo did not answer. Instead he just pointed shakily. The rest of the regulars looked where he was pointing and was scared. In front of Ryoma on the ground was a monster trying to get up. The invisibility was turning on and off now causing the regulars to blink thinking that they seeing things.
-With Ryoma-
Ryoma did a back flip and once she landed on the ground she dashed forward and swung her scythe in a boomerang kind of swing. The scythe was twirling in circles and struck the target on the side of the body. The monster cried out in pain as it gushed out black blood causing the monster to lose its invisibility and disappeared into ashes. The scythe came back just above her head and Ryoma grabbed it before it would go somewhere else. In the ashes, a ball of flames came out and floated. Ryoma walked forward with a scythe in hand and a jar that just came out of nowhere. Ryoma stopped in front of the floating ball and opened the jar in her hand. She kneeled down on one knee and set down her scythe on the ground beside her.
She closed her eyes and brought her hands around the jar and whispered something, it had seemed to be a prayer. Once she was done she opened her eyes and put the jar underneath the ball and pushed it upwards and captured the ball. She grabbed the lid of the jar, set it down in the middle of the ashes, and stood up with her scythe. She took a step back and twirled her scythe in both of her hands and stopped. After she stopped she stomped the end of the snath to the floor really fast. All of a suddenly a black hole appeared out of nowhere underneath the ashes. The black hole sucked up the ashes and the soul inside the jar and disappeared.
Ryoma sighed and her eyes turned back from red crimson eyes to her golden cat-like eyes. She was about change out of her uniform but stopped when a voice called out to her, her eyes widened as she looked at the people to the side.
"E-Echizen?"
"S-sempai-tachi…"
