Two monsters were sitting on a chair and looking at each other's quietly.

"That was faster than I thought. Supposed to way for many more days. Anyway, you got what I want?" one of them asked as he put his carbine on the table. He crossed his arms and added, "You better not think of me as a fool if there is nothing you can offer."

The other one calmly looked at his weapon, then back to the face of his client, "If you are talking about our deal, you can rest assure that I will keep it. I have nothing to win, except a hole in my chest or brain if I took you as a fool," he searched in his pocket and slid it on the table.

"You could have said your reproductive organ too," the client took it and looked at it, "That's…" he changed the angle to check everything, "A legitimate temporary visa."

"With this, you will be allowed to go to Earth and find a buddy, according to the conditions of that visa," the other one said as he crossed his arms.

"That's perfect. Then-" he saw the time limit of the visa. He punched the table and yelled, "One… One fucking year! You think I'll be satisfied by one fucking year!"

"That's the best you can have under the current administration of this world. You won't be needing this for long thought," the dealer chuckled. He then seriously gazed at the other one, "Once you are on Earth, you have two days to find a buddy."

The other one grunted furiously.

"Remember the deal. I give you a temporary visa and you accept the conditions," the monster said to his client.

"I know! But so little time to get a buddy! I can't accept a random human!"

"Not my problem."

"Fuck!"

"Once you find the human, then you will participate in the competition. If you win, then you will obtain what you wish the most. Remember this, will you," the dealer stood up.

"Why just two days?"

"We had a participant who tried to double cross us and we have to clean things up. You are going to replace him. That's the only reason you have your visa earlier," he turned around and walked away.

The client looked at the visa, thinking about the potential mess he was going in, "Anything to leave my mess of a world for paradise."

Chapter 1: The End Of His Ordinary Life

Earth was a world that changed its shape once the other worlds entered contact with the Earth. Many creatures from other worlds could come to Earth under strict regulations that had been build and reinforced or updated as time went on. Many humans were still not completely grown over all the changes. As time went own however, many humans, especially the young's, had buddies by their side.

The world was watched by the Buddy Police Force, a group that acted as the police force to deal with anything related to buddy monsters. The group was now firmly established, and trust was strongly put with them after they solved many major cases.

It was the world Izagi Sato was living in. He was a teenager who reached his sixteen at the end of spring. He was a boy with peach skin, short black hair and black eyes. He wore a black jacket over his red shirt and black pants. As he walked towards his school, he noticed he was surrounded by many students of his age talking together about topics he didn't really care. So, he grabbed his blue headphone and listened to music, so he would not bother them. It was better to ignore than talking with anyone.

He reached the school and stood on the escalator leading them to his school. Izanagi was the name of his school, as it was once a shrine in honor of the god but was destroyed and turned into a school.

He did notice that many students were walking in with their buddies in SD form. It was a varied school in which boredom was rarely a thing.

He went to his class on the second floor. He sat on his respective chair, near the exit door. That was his usual morning, going to school and avoiding socialising with everyone and trying to keep it that way until the end of the day.

Izagi noticed a girl entering in class. She was often around the middle of those who came to school. She is a girl with peach skin, brown eyes, long brown hair attached by a ribbon to form a ponytail. She wore a blue shirt with a red long skirt.

The moment she passed near him, the boy blushed, come on. Try to say hello to her for once, but no words came.

"Hey Hanako," one of her friends said as they joined her.

"Where's your buddy?" he second friend said.

"Halberd is busy right now. Grandma is sick and proposed to watch over her," Hanako replied as she sat on her chair, right behind Izagi.

The boy blushed as he felt the girl looking at him. He saw the teacher coming and took off his headphone and put them in his bag.

A boy was quickly climbing the escalator that lead to Izanagi school with his buddy monster in SD form by his side.

"I told you to keep your mouth shout you idiot!" the monster furiously yelled.

"Dammit!"

"Why did I even become your buddy if you pulled something like that? I told you that if you said anything, this will happen!"

"We have to get help and-"

"That won't be necessary," a voice said at the top of the escalator.

There was a being with his body covered by a black hood. He held a long scythe on his back as he lightly grinned. When the boy and his buddy saw this, their face paled as if the life just went out of their body, "You have disobeyed the rules. And you know what the price is right."

"H-hold on! I had nothing to do with this! I didn't want this fucker to open his mouth like that!" the buddy of the boy said.

The one under the dark hood raised his right arm and tapped his jaw with it. He thought about it and replied, "You are his buddy, but you are right. Fairness is important. I can see you didn't want this to happen at all. Too much to lose. You won't get punished for this idiot. Instead, you'll have to try again from the start."

"P-please. D-don't kill me! I'll just my mouth-" the boy was ignored.

"Thank you. I promise I won't let my next buddy do something shitty like that," the monster in SD form said.

"Now go. I'll like to be a little intimate with the human," he said as he moved the scythe close to the neck of the human.

The monster walked away, but gave one last glance at his buddy, "You should have listened to them," before walking away.

"H-hey! You don't have to-" his mouth was covered by the hands of the other one.

"I don't care for anything you will say. Once you break a rule, then it's punishment time," he moved the scythe around the stomach of the boy and stabbed him. He then slowly raised it towards the chest of the human, as blood and organs started to come out. Once the monster thought it was enough, he released the human and said, "A human like you can't survive such wound," he chuckled, "Hope you learned your lesson. Free of charge,"

The executer then walked away and left the boy bleed out until his end, in front of the school.

When half of the day and lunch break was about to begin, the students heard an alarm. Izagi didn't recognise the fire alarm and wondered what was going on. It was an alarm they never heard before. He noticed the face of the professor paling, which didn't sound good at all. He suddenly heard, "This is not an exercise. We are asking all student to evacuate orderly from the school right now. I'll ask the teachers to bring them by the backdoors."

The students looked outside as the professor said, "Everyone! Form a line right now!"

Izagi was curious and gazed outside. What he saw made him quickly turned around and was the second to form the line after Hanako, what is the Buddy Police Force and the Police doing here?

The line formed up and everyone walked in line outside of their class and went outside. As they climbed down the stairs, the teenage boy noticed that the force of justice was starting to assemble around someone who laid down on the ground. He couldn't see the detail, but understood one thing, someone died. His thought came.

The Police and the Buddy Police Force were at the scene of the crime and looked at the victim.

A young man walked out of the car with his buddy by his side. He was a boy with long dark blue hair, peach skin and brown eyes. He wore a pair of glasses on his face. He wore a red and green shirt with green pants, which was part of the Buddy Police Force uniform.

By his side was his buddy in his SD form Tsukikage. He was smaller than the human by his side on his current form. He looked at the scene with his amber eyes. He wore his gray ninja costume, his red scarf and his silver mask. He wore a black and white helmet with a crescent moon on the forehead of it.

"Zanya. Member of the investigation department of the Buddy Police Force. What do we have here?" Zanya asked one of the policemen.

"The victim is Xin Xiao. As you can see, it was an execution," the man said before the young adult walked closer to the scene.

"Xin… Yeah. I remember he talked to Tasuku about his predicament. His life was in danger because he was a trap in it."

"Nin," his buddy took out his scroll and it was written, the victim has been silenced.

"Dammit. Every time someone who was a part or trap in their hands wants to talk, they just end up dead. How do they always figure it out?" Zanya grunted in frustration, "We are going to need more time to analyse everything we can obtain."

"We'll already collecting the footage from the camera and starting to interrogate any possible witness," the policeman said.

Zanya thought, I hope there is one, but none at the same time. Because that witness is either dead or trap in their hands now, he adjusted his glasses, "I'll interrogate the director. Come Tsukikage."

"Nin," his buddy replied as he followed the young man.

After the evacuation was completed, every had been interrogated by the authorities and no witness saw what happened.

Izagi was among them, glad that he could just say he didn't see anything. It was scary that something like that happened. On the bright side, he saw almost nothing when he gazed outside. Now that everything was over, he had to return home, already putting aside what happened. It wasn't his business.

He saw Hanako returning home with her buddy, who came looking for her.

School was over for a day or two, the time for the cops to finish their investigation. His stomach grunted, "Never had lunch anyway. I'll eat when I'm home."

Once he reached the street, he waited to traverse it and looked around. He saw many humans with a buddy by their side. Each year, he noticed more of them present. It was just a part of a scenery. One that he was interested to become eventually.

Most monsters had a job in their world or learned the basic in how to live on Earth before working or helping their buddy.

The boy didn't really understand the rules but live with it anyway. He continued his way home, "The more it goes on, the more crimes are committed," he commented. He couldn't help, but thing back. Many were aware, but crime rates had been increasing lately and a few random deaths like the one at their school appeared. The news was getting kinda scary about it, "I really wish they managed to get them."

"Talking to yourself now?" a voice suddenly said.

Izagi stopped and his eyes turned towards the alley near his home. He gulped and asked, "W-who's there?"

"There is no need to get worry over me," that voice replied before lightly chuckling. The individual walked out of the shadow.

He was a muscular humanoid monster with pale yellow skin, with a pair of black horns on his forehead, purple hair, large fangs over his lips, white eyes and a long silver tail covered with black spikes. He wore a skull mask, a black breast plate on his chest and crimson chains covering his waist. He wore a large carbine on his back and a small mini scythe on his waist. He also wore a black gauntlet on his left arm.

Based on the look, the monster was giving bad signals on first sign. The boy ignored those, "W-who are you?"

"Afraid or just nervous? I wonder," the monster replied, before bowing to the boy, "If it is fear, there is no need for such trivial thing," a small smile appeared on his face, "My name is Deathgunner SoulReaper. SoulReaper is fine though."

"G-got it," Izagi replied to the monster. He gazed forward, "A-anyway. I got to go."

"Sure," SoulReaper replied. He added something as the boy went away, "Where's your buddy?"

The boy stopped and gazed back, "I don't have one," he saw the small smirk on the mouth of the monster, "I know where this is going."

"Then I won't beat delay you any longer human. Since I came to Earth, I've been searching or a buddy. With my look, kids are too scare of me to become one with them."

"Yeah," you're face makes it pretty obvious of the why, they boy thought.

"So, I aimed at people older," he sighed, "My time is kinda limited, so I am getting a little pushy."

I notice. At least he's admitting it, "Guess so. W-where you waiting for me?"

"No. I needed a place to collect my thought. Thinking back, it feels that way," the monster chuckled. He showed his visa, "Before you think I came here illegally."

The boy sighed, "So you want me as your buddy," he crossed his arms. Izagi found it coming out of nowhere, but knew it was common. Monster from other worlds with more… Questionable appearance had more difficulty and acted more forcefully. Their time to find a buddy wouldn't be that long. Nothing on Earth could help them, so they were on their own. It didn't end well with many of them and some could snap, maybe that's why the crime rate is increasing, the boy thought.

"Yes," SoulReaper replied. As he showed his Deckcase.

Izagi put his hands on his forehead and thought about it. He had some personal experience with buddies. He saw a few times how it was between Hanako and her buddy Halberd, but even more personally.

Never base judgement on looks you know little one.

That memory flashed in the back of his mind. It was getting more literal these days. He looked at the monster and replied, "It was getting too quiet at home for a while," he admitted, it might feel a little like before. He raised his hand and replied, "Why not."

Deathgunner SoulReaper had a large smile on his face, as if he overcame a huge obstacle. Which was the case, "You aren't regret it buddy."

The boy replied, "My name is Izagi Sato. Just Izagi is enough."

"By the way, the name buddy sucks," the monster commented.

"I know," he replied.

AC: This is the end of this first chapter. There are a few quiet times before I show the real meat of the story. The next chapter will explain why he accepted with an open mind.
