My life sucks.
How could a life of a 16-year-old in his second year of High School that's a slacker suck?
Well let's go back a few weeks to a month shall we?
I was an easygoing student whose life was change after a weird encounter with a strange man who knew my name. The man, who introduces himself as Shirogane, did not possess a shadow and explains that this is because he is a shadow himself. I run from him in fright hey I thought that the guy was a nut case.
Later that night, I return with my friends, Kengo and Aya, to our high school – only to be attacked by shadow monsters.
Shirogane appears out of nowhere to lend his aid but due to the overwhelming number of these monsters, then he kisses me, transforming me into a shadow and spirit like him. The fight ends with the monsters being vanquished but with a price. I will only be able to return to his human form if Shirogane becomes my shadow.
Then I still doesn't trust Shirogane completely who would if a weirdo changes you into a shadow. While at school, a massive shadow monster appears. In order to save my classmates, I and Shirogane faces the enemy, but with great hardship; causing heavy damage to I and more so to Shirogane whose back was stabbed by the monster's fang.
Shirogane then takes me to a bar to meet the Master, a blind bartender in possession of very strong psychic abilities. The Master heals both of them and discloses useful information regarding the Doppler item thereby allowing me to regain my human form without Shirogane's intervention.
I meet Kengo's big sister, Mayu, at the bar and Shirogane tells him to leave. They leave after a small disturbance with Aya and Mayu. Mayu has an attraction to good-looking guys which leads to her being possessed by a shadow monster. I, with the help of Kengo and Shirogane, exorcise Mayu and kill the monster. Kengo follows me around wanting to become my sidekick.
As I explain to Kengo about the Kokuchi and Shirogane, Aya appears and forces them to watch her kendo lesson as punishment for skipping class. During the lesson, they meet Aya's teacher, Hiroki Tsukikage.
Later, Tsukikage finds himself surrounded by the corruption in Japan's streets, and is soon possessed by a Kokuchi. The following day, news of a Sword-Killer spreads. One night, while walking home, Aya defeats the Sword-Killer, who turns out to be Tsukikage, and saves Mayu in the process.
As I and Kengo try to defeat the Kokuchi, Aya awakens her latent powers and defeats it herself. Afterwards, Shirogane persuades me into having comrades, as they are a necessity to me.
Angry that I refuse to let him be my ally; Kengo walks away from the situation and fights with a couple of upperclassmen, saving Haruka in the process. Meanwhile, Aya tries to persuade me into apologizing.
Later, the man with the eye patch and blue hair appears and introduces himself as Nanaya. He leaves a Kokuchi-possessed Kengo to fight me, while Nanaya's subordinate, Lulu, taunts Aya.
Lulu reveals that Shirogane is a royal spirit, to which Shirogane responses as the position of keeping both worlds in balance. After beating the Kokuchi out of Kengo, I reveals that he doesn't want to drag Kengo into fighting Kokuchi and risk him getting hurt, but is persuaded by Kengo other wise. Handing Kengo the Al Cesta glove, I finally accepts him as my ally.
I, Kengo, and Aya are invited to Haruka Kujou's house, where they learn the secrets of the secrets of the Kujou family.
The previous head of the Kujou house, Shinnosuke Kujou, had experimented with devilish experiments and rituals.
The group is then attacked by two sealed servants of the Kujou house, Kyou and Rin, who had escaped by manipulating Kengo. I and Aya fight the two, during which Aya reacts to her Kuresame, giving her samurai armour and a katana for use. I, Aya, and Shirogane successfully exorcise the two after hearing their history, in which they were involved with Shinnosuke Kujou's evil rituals. However, Nanaya had saved them from pain by possessing them with Kokuchi. After, Haruka befriends me, giving me another friend besides Kengo, who is, comedicaly, still tied up in the Kujou house's basement.
Bar Still receives a new employee: Shou Mikami. Both Aya and Mayu apparently fall in love with him. A day later, Shou and Mayu go out on a date. At the end of the date, Shou appears where I like to be alone, but can't anymore thank to Shirogane. Shou then reveals a devastating secret: his name is actually Shouko Mikami, and that he is actually a woman. Finding the courage to tell Mayu within me, Shou tries to confess his secret to Mayu the next day, but she misinterprets this [thanks to Aya] as a proposal.
Later, Mayu is heartbroken when she finds out the truth. Melancholic, Shou is possessed by a Kokuchi, and attacks Mayu. However, she is saved by me and the others. In the end, Shou decides to admire Aya, who she strangely finds very manly.
While watching a rehearsal for the acting club, two members of the Saou Boys Club ask me to play the part of Hamlet in their next play. Reluctant at first, I eventually agree to play Hamlet.
However, during the course of rehearsal, many accidents occur that threaten my life. One of the Saou Boys Members, Sawaguchi (a woman who acts as the director) volunteers to play the role of Hamlet. However, Maki (a talented actor who wanted me to play Hamlet) will only allow me to play Hamlet. Sawaguchi, hurt by this fact, is possessed by a Kokuchi.
After she is saved by me and the others, Maki and Sawaguchi express their love for each other and make the play a huge success.
On the request of Haruka, I and co. head to a strange mansion to help Yuriko whose parents have disappeared and to help her find a jade baby.
After, resting in the hot springs, Nanaya shows up and traps them with an army of Kokuchi. Yuriko's parents are discovered to have been swallowed up by the shadows. But, before they were swallowed they entrusted their wishes in a statue that saves I and co.
The mansion is destroyed; however, Yuriko finally makes peace with her parents after finding the jade baby inside the statue.
A popular idol named Jun Fujisaki enrols into My school due to an 'incident'. Apparently, he knows me because they were friends back during their first year. He had asked me to join him in his career.
However, I declined saying I preferred my life now. Jun admits to me that the incident that had occurred was a fraud. The incident involved Jun beating a man. However, Jun was forced to hit the man due to self-protection.
The press and the society views Jun as a snobbish and not-so-good person, which causes him create anger inside of him. This anger interests Nanaya and he merges a Kokuchi and Jun. I, Kengo, Shirogane, and Aya have to fight against Jun to save him.
Shirogane has a weird dream and gets sick. With him becoming sick, the team delays their plans on how to beat Nanaya and lets him rest for a while. However, Nanaya enraged that his boss has given up hope on him, kidnaps Kengo and Aya in order to lure our Shirogane. With Shirogane in bed, I set out to save his friends, but he is almost killed by Nanaya. Shirogane comes and saves me and collapses. Nanaya, seeing this is chance to take Shirogane, captures Shirogane and takes him away. I stare into darkness, angry that I couldn't save Shirogane.
Determined to save Shirogane the team heads out to take him back. At the same time, Shirogane is being tortured but isn't showing any signs of weakness. I and Co. then arrives and during the fight with Nanaya I gain a new weapon and stronger power.
I and Co. heads out to find Kengo and My friend, Kouni. But he finds them first and peeks under Aya's skirt. A few minutes later Kouni is challenged to a fight by three strong-looking guys.
However, Kou is so fast that they barely can see his movements he defeats them easily. Later that day Shirogane sneaks out when I has fallen asleep and meets up with Kouni, apparently they know each other. I surprise them by coming just a few minutes later and after a fight with simple kokuchi's, the whole team gathers, Kouni says he will serve me, his king.
The next "work" for Kouni is to separate a Mafia's son from his girlfriend who is Kengo's sister. The problem starts with a broken-heart so, the kokuchi appear...
Aya is told to investigate the 5 mysteries in the High School, so (as she is afraid of ghosts) I, Kengo and Shirogane helped her.
All those mysteries prove to be false, but after they thought it's all done, Maya falls sick and goes to a doctor. The doctor is deeply unsatisfied with his current position, being in a high school and in a university treating mild sickness.
He is possessed by Kokuchi.
All pictures have their meanings... One picture made by Momiji reflected I in his Shadow form fighting against Kokuchi, when they started to investigate the artist, they found that the artist was actually called Momiji, a great grandchild of a great artist.
The artist had drawn the portrait of Haruko's grandfather several decades ago when he was small, which looked identical to Haruko. The artist is now old and unable to draw, his vengeance causing him to be possessed by Kokuchi.
Also just today Aya and Kengo each requests I help with the tennis and boxing club. I have no interest and ignore their invitation, but I am threatened with an embarrassing secret from my past and reluctantly accept.
I am made to do club activities from my usual going home routine. However, the tennis and boxing match are on the same day.
Both the Boxing and tennis team captains then struggle for me.
Then Lulu arrives with Kokuchi and possesses the opposing sides. I, feeling like a pawn, fight all of the Kokuchi single-handedly. At the end, I complete all of the challenges issued.
See my life sucks and now I'm at Bar Still as ever one tells in their own way what really happened leaving out little things like that I WAS THE ONE THAT HAD TO FIGHT ALL OF THE KOKUCHI SINGLE- HANDILY!
Yep my life sucks my name is Akira Nikaido that is 16-year-old is in my second year of High School. I am thought of strong and impatient, often skipping class since I don't like school.
Changing into my shadow form causes my hair and portions of his clothing to turn black, and my eyes to turn red. Well that's what everyone things they know about me
My 'friends/allies' even thought they know nothing about me are;
Shirogane
With his trademark black coat and top hat, and long, silvery hair, Shirogane is a mysterious man who appears before me and involves me in the fight between the shadow world and human world.
He carries around a cane which, apparently, can be surged with spiritual energy to fight off Kokuchi.
Shirogane hides his true personality. His way of speech changes to one with a sharp tongue.
His usual calm, smiling side becomes more cold and aggressive.
After switching personalities his cane changes to a katana.
Kengo Asamura ,
16-year-old Kengo is in the same class as me, and usually hangs out with me. He has a very cheerful disposition.
His latent abilities were activated in his desire to help his older sister. He usually fights using his own body, and uses Al Cesta gloves given to him by me/Shirogane, which takes the form of gauntlets in battle that seemingly increases Kengo's strength.
Aya Suzuno ,
Another 16-year-old student in my class, Aya is part of its Disciplinary Committee, and has a strong sense of justice.
She has a very direct personality and is very skilled in kendo. As such, she uses her kendo while fighting Kokuchi.
Her Kuresame, given to her by Shirogane, gives her yoroi and a katana to use in battle.
Haruka Kujo
An 11-year-old American university graduate, who has befriends me. He is rich and lives in a huge mansion.
He is the successor to the Kujo family, known for its daemonic experiments using traditional techniques of yin and yang.
To atone for his ancestors' sins, Haruka volunteers to fight the Kokuchi alongside me, despite him not being able to physically fight them. He uses a crossbow.
Shuichi Wagatsuma a.k.a. Master
Shuichi is an acquaintance of Shirogane's, and owns a bar named 'Bar Still'. He is commonly called "Master".
Even though he is blind, his Reiken allows him to sense spirits and Kokuchi. He also has an ability that allows him to cure others, albeit a little painfully. Yeah right getting the wound is better than him healing it.
Kou
Kou is one of the Rei. He is a perverted 25-year-old friend to both me and Kengo from an event that occurred several years ago. He has a unique personality.
Loyal to Ryuko, and is one of Ryuko's five "children". (But I'm not supposed to know that).
Ryuko ,
He is the King of the Rei, opposite of the Shin. My King form.
His black hair grows longer and his attire changes into a long white coat with straps around his wrist, and two belts around his waist.
His weapon also changes to a white/silver scythe with a long lavender reddish/pinkish cloth hanging off. (He is also me but once again I'm not suppose to know that and Shirogane thinks that we are two different people a long with every one else).
Mayu Asamura
Kengo's older sister. Master taught her how to exorcise evil spirits. Obsessed with attractive guys, she was once possessed by a shadow but was saved by me.
She continues harboring her yen for bishōnen (meaning "beautiful youth boy). A running gag in the series is her increased obsessive ness for attractive guys when she's drunk, including both me and Master.
Lastly every one sees me as strong and impatient, often skipping class since I don't like school.
But that's not how I am my so called 'friend' don't even know my favorite colour or food, why I wear a collar or even why I live alone but I know almost every thing about then sad huh?
This is my life.
Let's listen to Kengo's recount of the day shall we it goes a little like this:
Kengo: This is how it happened okay ever one
Aya: I know how it happened
Master: …. 'Clearing a glass'
Shirogane: I want to know
Haruka: I also would like to know
Kou: Let's hear it
Kengo: It's a tale of daring and faith. It all started when Akira was asked to help out with the boxing club by me and the tennis club by Aya —
Shirogane: You can play tennis Akira?
Me: Huh yeah
Shirogane: That's so cute
Everyone: 'sweat drop'
Me: Kengo!! Story!!
Kengo: Oh yeah! Well any way while Akira was playing the games Kokuchi attacked and me and Aya killed them all while he won the matches we asked him to help us but he just said that it was pay back for doing this for us so when he finshed he just sat back and watched us as if we where some kind of show.
Master: Is that right Aya?
Aya: Wha? Huh ….Yeah?... sure it was?
Kou: Why didn't you help them Akira?
Master and Me: …..
Haruka: Yes I would like to know also why you didn't help them.
And that's what has happened so I either tell the truth and no one listens to me or I just leave.
I just left.
