Prologue
~~Someone's POV~~
I don't get why I'm stuck in this pitch black room with out any doors or windows. Just three hours ago I was walking to my best friend Sara's place dressed as something for a cosplay thing and the next thing I knew I was here "Stupid no good..." I muttered. Taking off the white top hat and I let my long light blue hair move freely instead of being put in the stupid top hat. I sighed and sat on the floor while letting my blue eyes look around for some type of exit. I squinted my eyes and I searched for my glasses "Damn that's right I broke them this morn...ing..." I muttered. I suddenly remember pain and screaming before I came here. I rubbed my forehead trying to remember what happened 'Okay let's retrace my steps' I thought.
-Memory of that morning-
I was going to be late meeting with Sara since I over slept. I had changed into the strange costume a white top hat with a red ribbon and two roses attached to it, brown shirt, white coat with a red trimming, this weird neck piece that I tied to look like a bow, white shorts with a red trimming that went to my knees, white gloves and brown boots (Will be on Bio under Sakuya). I ran out the house and towards Sara's place that was at least 20 minutes away. I stopped running after two minutes and began to walk. I got two or three stares from people around me then...then, I can't remember what happened after that. I can remember a scream loud and clear then a pain from my right temple.
-Memory ends-
I touched my right temple and I felt something wet. I moved my hand and I smelled the liquid. It smelled familiar and I tasted some and I know why it was familiar it was blood. I spit out the blood that I just tasted 'Why the hell was there blood on my temple?' I thought. It took me a while to remember but I finally did.
-Flashback-
Someone came behind me and put me in a headlock. Something was shoved against my left temple it was cold metal and I knew it was a gun. I heard shouting and police sirens coming in our direction. After 30 minutes police surrounded me and the person holding me hostage. I tried to stay calm but I failed seeing as I was close to crying. There was a bang and something hit me in the head opposite to where the gun was pressed against. There was a scream of frustration and a few of sadness and I could have sworn I saw Sara in the crowd "Sakuya!" someone screamed.
-Flashback ends-
"So I basically...died...some idiot hit me instead of the guy who had me in a headlock" I muttered angry. I sighed and put my top hat back on then stood up. I walked to the edge of the room and touched the walls "There has to be an exit" I said feeling around. My hand touched something like a door handle. I turned it and opened the door there was a bright light that blinded me until my eyes adjusted to the drastic change in lighting. I stuck my head out to see a long hallway with doors all around every one was labeled but I couldn't read most of them since it was either in another language or was written in weird symbols.
I looked at the door I came from and it said Vampire something I couldn't read since the other half was scratched out. I walked out into the hallway and I began walking searching for someone to help me out. I walked and walked until I came to the end of the hallway where there was a single window. I could see my reflection and there was blood going down my right temple and down my face but it didn't fall on my clothes and it slightly stained my hair. I looked outside to see a 20 people training using scythes with a woman with silver hair watching them.
She hit one person upside the head and began to yell at him before showing him the correct way to use a scythe. She suddenly had a scythe in her hands that I didn't see her pull out and she did a few tricks with it before hitting a target a few feet away without even moving near it and I swear I never saw the blade hit it. The target suddenly fell apart and I backed away slowly "Where the hell am I? This can't be heaven maybe I'm in hell" I muttered. I turned and walked back to where I came from only to see that I couldn't find the door. I looked at a few doors until I stopped at the only one I can read that was in English and in Japanese. It said D. Gray-man and I opened the door and looked inside to actually see light and in the center of the room was a large black book sitting on a table.
I looked around the hall again to see no one so I just entered the room and walked up to the book. I opened the book and looked through it to see names "Let's see Lee Lenalee, Kanda Yuu, Walker Allen, Bookman Lavi, Lee Komui, Kamelot Road, Mikk Tyki, and...Eh? There's an empty space" I said. I grinned and pulled out a pen from my pocket "And Sara says it's bad to write in books but she never said that if there's empty parts not to fill them in" I said. I wrote my name the same way as in the book "Ta-ka-ha-shi Sa-ku-ya" I said.
I stood up straight then the book moved on its own and when to a random page. I could see pictures of people as the pages flip by and it stopped to an empty page. I looked at it and it looked like something you write your information about name, age, height, weight, skills, weapons, hair color, eye color and blood type. My name was suddenly written on its own right on the name line. I stared at it surprised "Is this book cursed? Should I fill in the rest?" I muttered.
I shrugged my shoulders and began filling in my information "Let's see I'll put my age in as 17, height at 5 foot 5 inches, weight 140 pounds, skills...well might as well make something up...I know I'll put sharp eyes and fast reaction, weapons I guess a gun and rapier just like the person I'm cosplaying as, hair color a light blue, eye color blue, then blood type I think I'm AB maybe just A...No actually Sara always said that I act like someone with type AB so might as well put that on" I muttered.
After filling in the information the page turned once and this time there was a few questions "If your village was attacked when you were a child what would you do? My parents would have probably hid me somewhere safe if not then I would have hid since I was just a child. If a man calling himself an Exorcist and that you have potential to weld Innocence would you believe him? No since I wouldn't know what an Exorcist was and that I didn't know what Innocence was. How old would you be when your village was attacked?I guess maybe 10. How do you feel about someone bringing back the...dead? Bring back the dead" I said.
I glared at the paper "I would hate them. Once someone is dead they can never be brought back. They should just leave them be and let them rest in peace. Last question, would you like to appear before the beginning, right at the beginning, in the middle, or right at the end after the war ends? I guess before the beginning but would be 17 when it begins" I said writing down my answers.
The page turned once again and I looked at the page to see that it was blank. There was a flash of light and I fell backwards rubbing my eyes "God damn it what the fu** was that?" I asked. I stood up using the table as a support. I stared at the paper to see my face slowly appear on the paper "This is definably a cursed book" I muttered. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "What are you doing in here?" I heard a male voice.
I turned around quickly and I blushed seeing it was a cute guy with black hair and blue eyes "Um well you see..." I said trying to come up with a lie. He looked at me then at the book "You idiot did you write in the book?" He asked coming up to me and grabbing me by my shoulders "Um...yes?" I said but it sounded more like a question. I blushed seeing his face was a few centimeters from mine "Ano...sa...I didn't..." I said trying to form at least one sentence. The man looked surprised and grabbed my hand "Damn it it's already happening" he said.
I looked at my hand to see that it was slowly fading "What the hell is happening to me?" I asked worried "You're fading into the DGM world. What's your name?" he asked "Sakuya...Takahashi Sakuya" I said "Did you die in your world?" he asked "Th-that's right" I said. The man cursed then shoved something in my hand "Wear that until someone comes to get you...stupid Soul" the man said "Soul? That's not my name" I said looking at the bracelet with a cross on it "I don't care right now...You're not a Shinigami you might as well be a Lost Soul. Illegally going to a world without permission and you weren't given permission to be reborn. You're going to be stuck in a world you know nothing about starting to when you'll just be born. You never gotten your memory removed" the man said "You don't have to lecture me who the hell are you anyways?" I asked forgetting that he was cute "Ren, one of the Heads of Souls" Ren said. My heart started to pound so hard that it began to hurt. I grabbed my chest where my heart was at "You better not die, Takahashi Sakuya" I heard Ren. My vision started to blur and I fell to the ground blacking out.
~~A long wait~~
I opened my eyes a little and I felt I was in some kind of liquid. I moved around and I could hear a scream outside. I was scared "Dear the...coming!" I heard a woman shout but some parts I couldn't hear "Wait...be at...soon" A male voice said. I moved around and I had a feeling that I was about to be 'born'.
~~Few Hours Later~~
I was utterly disgusted that I had to go through birth and I'll end up remembering every detail until I either forget or until I find a way to burn it out of my memory. I was washed then wrapped up in a bright pink blanket by a nurse. She carried me to my 'parents' that didn't look like my actual parents. My 'father' was a happy man with short dark blue hair with brown eyes and my 'mother' was an exhausted woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. I stared at my new parents and I have a feeling this was going to be a long childhood. My new mother held me in her arms and my new father was smiling at me.
I stared at them with a blank face that must have been strange on a baby "What should we name her dear?" father asked "How about Angel?" mother asked. I didn't want that name so I cried "No then how about Sakura?" father asked my mother. I cried lightly "She seems to like it a little but not entirely...Sakuya...her name will be Sakuya" mother said. I made a happy sound that sounded like a giggle. Father picked me up and held me in the air "Sakuya-chan, Sakuya-chan. Smile for daddy" he said. Mother looked at him worried "Dear, don't do that you might drop her!" mother said scolding the man. Father made a face that looked like a pout but held me correctly 'This will definably be a very very long childhood' I thought. My father put the bracelet I got from Ren around my wrist but it was too big for me to wear it.
~~Ten Years Later~~
I looked at my parents wearing a white dress with my light blue hair tied in twin pigtails. I looked at the cake sitting in front of me representing my 10th birthday in this world. I actually consider my parents here my actual parents even if they have a few faults. My father's name is Fuyuki Takahashi and my mother's name is Clair Evans. I learned some new things and that nearby villages have been attacked by something most people call demons but that was stopped by a man wearing this black coat with a weird symbol on the left side. I asked mother what they were and she said Exorcists as if he was a plague. The man talked to mother and tried to get mother to go with him but father stopped him. That night mother and father talked while I was 'asleep'. I actually watched through the key hole and I saw mother pull out a black gun with a picture of a rose at the bottom.
She put it in a box then left it under her bed. I ran back to my room before they managed to catch me so I was safe...opps off topic back to reality now. Mother and father smiled at me and I smiled at them slightly. I was lifted up in the air by father then spun around "My sweet little Sakuya-chan is growing up so fast!" he exclaimed hugging me. Mother and I sighed at him 'He has a huge daughter complex' I thought. Mother took me from father and put me back down on my chair. The candles were lit and I blew them out "Happy birthday, Sakuya" mother said. The day went by pretty quickly and before I knew it I had to go to bed.
I sat on my bed and looked out my window. I know my parents wouldn't check up on me in the middle of the night so this was a good opportunity to sneak out at night and go see the moon flowers bloom. It was my favorite flower and I was lucky to be able to live so closes to a large grove of them even though it was deep in the forest. I slipped out of bed and used some of my stuffed animals to make it look like I was in my room.
I grabbed a black cloak and put it on before I opened my window and jumped into the tree near the window. I landed ungracefully on a tree branch and I looked at my window and I could have sworn I saw someone in my room but when the moon shone in my room there was no one there. I shook my head then jumped down and landing on the ground almost falling over and landing on my face. I dusted off my cloak then ran into the forest.
I tripped and fell head first in the dirt "I swear this would be when Sara be shouting at me saying 'You have no ninja skill'...I miss her" I muttered. I stood up and continued on my way deeper and deeper into the forest until I came to where the moon flowers were at. I knelt down and stared at all the white flowers as they began to open. I began humming as I smiled at the flowers. I noticed something pink and I saw only one pink moon flower "Should I pick it?" I muttered. I touched the stem and I broke it off. I held the flower to eye level but dropped it when I heard the sounds of screaming and guns being fired "The village is under attack!" I shouted. I ran towards the village as fast as I could.
When I got to the village I saw my mother using a gun on these weird balloon creatures with cannons. I ran to find father and I saw him leading the rest of the villagers out to safety. Behind him I saw one of the creatures go after father "FATHER!" I shouted. He turned but he was too late as the thing fired at him and the villagers killing them all in one blow. Mother looked in father's direction just in time to see him turn to dust "Dear!" she shouted. The creatures took this chance to fire at her but she moved out of the way and ran in my direction. She grabbed my hand and led us away "Sakuya where were you?" she asked as we ran.
We hid behind some barrels before I started to talk "I went to the forest to see the moon flowers. Mother what's happening?" I asked quietly. She looked at me "The creatures attacking are called Akuma. They were created to serve the Millennium Earl" Mother told me. She stood up "I'm going to get rid of them stay here and hide. Don't move no matter what, do you understand?" she asked. I nodded yes to her and she left me alone so she can fight the Akuma. I covered my ears and closed my eyes "Please let it go away. Please let it go away. This isn't real. People aren't dying. Father and the villagers didn't die" I chanted over and over. I opened my eyes hopping this was all a dream.
I looked above the barrels to see there was a few Akuma left but I didn't see mother anywhere. I did see her gun lying on the ground...a few feet from a pile of clothes that mother wore. I felt my eyes water "She died...she said she'd get rid of them...but she died" I muttered. I moved out of my hiding place and I walked towards the gun and where mother died. I picked up the gun then I looked at the pile of clothes "Mo...ther...Fa...ther" I muttered. The Akuma surrounded me "You did this...you're the cause of all of this...I'll kill all of you!" I shouted.
I lifted up the gun and fired over and over until all the Akuma exploded and were gone. Blood splattered on me and I fell on my knees and cried "Doshite! Doshite! Why is this happening to me!" I shouted. I dropped the gun and I hit my fist against the ground "I didn't ask for this! Why is this happening to me?" I asked "It's because the hands of fate is moving" I heard a familiar male voice. I turned around and I saw Ren and he was holding a pocket watch. He opened it and stared at it for a while "Seems like you're already too deep into this world to be pulled out" Ren said "What does that mean?" I asked "It means you are no long just Takahashi Sakuya. But an Exorcist destined to fight Akuma" Ren said.
I glared at him and he sighed "You answered the questions from the DGM book instead of letting a Head of Soul doing it. You weren't specific with certain things like when the village was attacked at age 10. It was unexpected that this would happen but it still did" Ren said "What?" I asked "I can no longer take you from this world. You're stuck here Sakuya until the day you die" Ren said. I stood up "The book decided what happens to you, an outsider that wasn't meant to be here. You can stay in this town and wait until you die or you can leave and try to be an Exorcist on your own" Ren said.
I looked at my village "I...I'm...I'm not going to stay...I'll destroy every Akuma I come across" I said looking at him confidently. Ren smiled slightly at me and he closed the pocket watch "Good luck to you then" Ren said turning and leaving "Matte!" I shouted. Ren stopped and looked at me slightly "Where am I suppose to go?" I asked "Anywhere that leads you to the Black Order in Europe" Ren told me. He pulled out a box out of no where and tossed it to me. I caught it and opened it to see the outfit I wore before I came here "No way" I muttered "You won't be able to fit it until you get older but I think you deserve something that belongs to you" Ren told me. I nodded and waved good bye to him.
~~The Next Day, evening~~
I had single handedly made graves for every villager but it was nothing big just a few large stones moved and moon flowers planted at each grave. I knelt down looked at the graves I made for them "I wish I could have done more" I said. I wore a white dress with red trimmings and I also had on the top hat and brown boots. I stood up and I walked over to mother and father's grave "Mother, father, I'm going to leave for a long time.
I'm also borrowing your gun, mother. I promise I'll defeat every Akuma I find so no one has to experience what I went through...I'm leaving" I said brushing off the dirt on my dress. I had a gun hoister tied to my leg with the gun in it but it was hidden by my dress. I went home and picked up a bag with everything that I'll need on my journey. Money, clothes, coat, cloak, family picture taken a week before all of this, box of matches, food and a sleeping bag that everything I need for a while.
I walked out the door and looked at my house one last time before I started to walk to the road leading out of town. I stopped once again to look at my village "..." I was unable to say anything. I knew this wouldn't be the last time I would see my tiny village "I'll be back..." I muttered. I continued to leave my town as Sakuya Evans and with my mother's gun I promise to make a difference.
