The only thing going for me is my name and reputation, Takashi or the kid killer.
The schools I've been to, everyone always kept away from me, I always had blood on me, even in elementary. I had missions from a greedy family who kept me as a servant for about a year before I became their guinea pig. It was horrible, having to deal with dead bodies but at the same time refreshing. Taking hatred out on the target during missions. School was no different, it was just calmer and people always touched me.
They got hurt because of that.
I hated it.
And I hated them.
Like those doctors that I wanted to watch squirm in fear of my anger.
I HATE THEM ALL!

"Don't worry Taki, after the doctors help you. We can teach you any fighting style you want."
I was on a surgeon's table.
"That man isn't dead, just sleeping."
He hardly even breathed.
"Your both going to be okay."
Why was his brain showing?
"We're doing checkups on both of you."
There was a cord attached to his brain and my head. Was my brain connected?
"The brain activity in subject T is increasing."
"Takashi can you hear anything?"
I want to say no but I can't. I'm sleepy, I can't say anything or do anything.
"Why did you kill me?"
I said this but I don't understand.
"Momma I'm scared." "BRAT! Where is Nageshi?"
Who is that? Is he the man sleeping next to me?
"I will sleep within him until the time is right."
Why am I saying this? I don't understand!
"Brain activity in Subject N has decreased to 13% brain activity!"
Why is that man moving when he looks so pale?
Run boy, he's going to kill us!
I still didn't understand I just listened to the voice that popped into my head. I couldn't live normally because I was always in fear. That is until cops came...
10 years before Z-day
"This is Takashi, he has no last name, no known blood relatives, once lived in an abandoned warehouse." said superintendent Raiza. "He's been selling stock the entire time with money from an unknown source. We'd like you to keep an eye out on him."
"What! How? Shouldn't he be in 1st grade?" asked Miyamoto, concerned for the boy and what secret is being hidden. "What do you even want me to do?"
"He wants you to gain my trust so that you can learn what dark secret I'm hiding and how to deal with it." Takashi said in a matter of factly tone. "In other words a spy, I'm no idiot, you'll be keeping tabs on me as well as I will be tracking you."
"BRAT! What do you know?" yelled the old officer. What kid would actually know this classified info?
"I know you've tried to track down an information broker, but you only find a boy of course I know things that may be secrets among groups. I worked with that person you're looking for. He can leak a few secrets to me free of charge." Dumbass. "I'm going to be in your care." said Takashi.
I hope they'll even care.
"Okay so the boy figured it out." said the red-faced superintendent. "The point is watch over him he could have valuable information on our search for the X. He has top secret information on the police that could cause riots."
X was my alias for my job, information broker, there was no right or wrong, just money and info. I had to keep my buisness on hiatus due to me living with a cop. It all changed in the middle of my freshman year.
The year before Z-Day
"Wake up idiot!" yelled a brown-haired girl. "Your gonna be late."
"Rei who are you talking to?" asked an older Takashi.
"I'm telling you to wake up!" she told him still shaking the man in the bed.
"But I came to tell you that I'm heading out." he said leaning on the door frame. "By the way that's you dad." he chuckled. "I made breakfast and took a shower already."
"What the hell!" she yelled. "When did you get up?"
"Before you, now let's go." he said leaving her in the dust.
She hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out the door.
Its been awhile since little Takashi moved into the Miyamoto household away from the life of a yakuza. He developed Chiraptophobia [Fear of being touched] due to an experiment conducted on him 9 years ago. He is slowly recovering, to the point that only a stranger's touch makes him react. His reactions were so violent that some people had to be taken to the hospital.
"Taki, wait up!" yelled Rei.
His reminiscing made him space out again.
"Sorry Rei-chan, I've been thinking about telling you and your father about IT." he said sheepishly. "I think you two deserve at least a piece of IT."
IT was a very tender subject among the people of Takashi's life. Whenever someone mentioned the subject, he immediately shut down and said absolutely nothing until the next day. So him bringing this up means something might happen.
"Oh I see." "Want to wait until later?" he asked.
This is it Rei, he found the courage to trust again. We just need to keep reeling.
"Sure, on the roof?" she asked. "You know it. See you later Rei-chan!"
"What you are going to hear will not leave this room." said Takashi glaring at everyone in the area.
"Takashi you idiot we're on the roof." said a pink haired girl. "God if you didn't look so serious I'd think you were pulling a prank."
"Yes Saya, he's pulling a prank on us for listening to the biggest SECRET of his life." said a gray-haired man. "So what would he do after this stunt with us?"
"Hey c-could you..."
"Taki-chan over there would definitely pull a stunt like this, he's never serious." said Saya accusingly.
"I'm right here..."
"Lay off Saya if he wants to say something he'll tell us." scolded Rei.
"But you aren't..."
"Back off Rei we all know he's an idiot who can't take his own life seriously"
Fuck this shit!
He quietly got up and left. The trio never noticing his absence until class was about to start.
Why should I deal with this bull shit when I have to tell them something important, especially Rei, since I live with her.
Well I would say it's your fault but its not, so whatever issues they have with each other should not be brought into something important. We're going to work on your people skills. Try it out on those guys bullying that one kid, he's got that look that says he'll shoot when given the chance. Watch this.
"Hey what the hell are you doing." asked Takashi.
Relax I'm just trying to help... Besides I recognize that blonde guy, annoying little asswipe.
"Hey Takashi, wanna try a punching bag?" asked the blond, Tsunoda as he lifted up a chubby boy with glasses.
"Nah," sighed Takashi. "I already got 3."
*CRACK*
The boy and man who share the same live, the family who never bothered to cry. The criminal's son is out on the loose, using advantage to make a big leash, ignoring people in their time of need. The cheating best friend had never died, instead he cried and cried. His girlfriend never looked him in the eye. She had her sight set on the 2 in 1. But this was no time for her fun. Especially when she said she was already done. The gunman of the group never had a tragic time, he never hid behind 'I'm fine', his crush was never close to 'died'. The cop never had to die. The nurse still hiding her intelligence, had someone to hold her even if for an instance. The swordsman carried a heavy burden but let it all out on the living and dead. They may survive to lead a new world, or die trying to protect what they love.
(A/N): I was very eager to post the prolouge. My other storiesare not abandoned except for one. I'm just going to keep it as a two-shot little preview for the rest of the story, not to mention an OC named Nageshi. I am open to hearing ideas on how the story will lead. Should I give them a happy ending, or will the world truly end?
I made this because I started reading the series a month ago, really great manga and the anime was good too. It really sparked my creative rainbow.
Happy Labor Day
