To those who don't know me, I am AnonymousAK. To those who know me, knows of my reputation of writing really good OC stories, especially about a blond headed demon.
So Soul Eater ended almost a year ago, that was my favorite manga. Anime was good, until it became bullshit later on. And now their making the anime for Soul Eater Not. The first episode came out to some who aren't aware of that, and it wasn't completely terrible.
If you like this story, and want to read more of my work, I have two stories that I'm juggling.
The Demon Chronicles in Rosartio + Vampire.
And The Demon of the Black Dragon in Highschool DxD
Follow, Favorite, and Review this.
With that, here's Rise of the Demon Sword.
Kimi hated her sister, she hated witches, and she hated killing.
She was only five years old. Her violet eyes were inflicted with several bags. Her weakly-framed body looked like it was ready to crumble any moment. Her long black hair was messy and unkempt; the only thing shed use were hairbrushes she would find. The only clothes she had on was red shirt that reached to her knees, and a pair of black pants. It had been days since and her body was thirsting for nutrients that didn't come from deceased humans. Yet, her big sister pressed on, and did not show signs of stopping.
She had no parents to hold her when she was scared. She only had a sister, who haunted her dreams when she wasn't awake. She hated sleeping as much as she hated being awake.
She had no God to help her in her time of need. Her sister always told her God didn't exist, and that he was nothing but an imaginary entity that gave humans a drive to better themselves. Kimi had a hard time believing that, but after what she witnessed and what she's been through, she started having second thoughts.
She had no place to call home. They were always on the move. Every night when it got dark, the two sisters always knocked on a random family's house. They would pose as abandoned sisters and plead for a place to stay. The unsuspecting family would take them in and feed them, bathe them, clothe them with what they have, and give them a cozy bed. By morning, the entire family, mother, father, brother, sister, and even baby would end up on the news as another of many familicide cases that started springing up in the last few months. Every member would be found dead in a gruesome manner, all had a look of grave horror that outclassed the manner of which they died. And no matter how hard they looked, the police would not find any evidence, and the tracks would all lead cold.
While her sister did all of the killings, Kimi would sit and huddle in the corner, on her lap was a teddy bear with a red bandana. She merely sat there covering her ears trying to drown out the sounds of screaming and pleads for their life that were muffled and rang through her ears. She'd even hum a sweet song she had once heard a mother sing to her child before he went to sleep, just to drown out the horror that only her sister could produce. If her eyes weren't closed, her sting tears would block and blur the images from view, but not even that could block out the color she knew too well.
Red
Another body flew to the wall. It was the body of a little five year old girl with brown pigtails. And brown eyes. She was covered in scratches and was bleeding along her forearm and head. She fell to the floor and looked towards Kimi, who simply stared away from her, hugging the teddy bear in her hands. The teddy bear that belonged to her, the one she gave to Kimi saying it would keep her safe if she was scared.
"Help," Her words were drowned out as the celling gave way and rubble fell on top of her and crushed her. Blood oozed out of the pile and no other sounds came out.
When it was all over, Kimi's sister walked up to her from the hallway. She was taller than her by a few feet, being twelve years old. Her face was splashed in blood streaks that went with her cold, monotone eyes, completely devoid of emotions. Circling around her were several blue colored orbs the size of apples that looked slightly like flames. Kimi counted at least eight of them. From the pile where the five year old was crushed, another orb floated from the pile and added to the collection, making nine in total. She knew them all too well to ask. These were the souls of humans, innocent humans he didn't deserve to die, yet did any way for no reason other than to become something inhuman.
"Do it." It was an absolute command. No matter how hard or how much Kimi refused, she knew at this point, it was hopeless.
"No more please..." Her eyes screamed for a halt in this.
"You wish to become stronger," Her sister told her nudging the souls closer. "Do it…now."
Kimi whimpered and held out her hands, accepting as the souls fell in her hands, merging to become slightly bigger, about the size of a grapefruit.
"What do you say?" Her sister asked her in a tone of impatience.
"Thank you for the food," Kimi cried softly as she opened her mouth and stuffed the entire thing in it, having to push it slightly to get it in. After managing to close her mouth, she easily swallowed it in one gulp, feeling it choke a bit going down. Eating them had no particular flavor, like eating nothing but air that turned solid. As she ate, her tears forced their way out and she found herself crying while "eating" her sister's food.
Once it was in, she felt a sudden surge of energy that felt like hopelessness and regret. She could feel her thoughts being clouded as a pink energy radiated off her being.
Kimi's sister smiled slightly and patted her crying sister's head. "You're so close. When this is all over, you don't have to worry about eating humans anymore," Her sister told her in a sweet voice.
Kimi wiped her tears and produced something that she had almost forgotten how to do in a while. She smiled towards her sister, which shocked her.
'It's still not complete,' Her sister thought. She figured all they needed were a few more human souls, maybe another hundred or so.
"Forgive us, but I think we'll interrupt this little ritual," The both of them turned and faced two grown-ups that appeared from the hallway. The female on the left had long caramel blond hair and matching eyes wearing a black dress. The male on the right was slim with long blond hair that obscured the left side of his face wearing an suit and tie.
Kimi's eyes grew wide in fear, while her sister simply scoffed at them. "More of Shinigami's pawns, just what we needed."
The blonde male smirked as his body became covered in a light and his form shifted and changed, until in the woman's hand was a single-edged sword about three feet in length, with the blade curving forward and widening near the tip.
Demon Kukri: Lucifer Kage
Meister: Katsumi Masake
"Saiyan Saya the Wolf witch, and Dark weapon Kimi Saya, you're act of killing and hunting human souls have gone on for far too long, and for that we're here to purge you in the name of Shinigami-sama." She held out her arms with her Kukri in her left hand. Her soul wave length gave off an intense and powerful level of energy that caused the room to shake.
Saiyan's soul wavelength along with Katsumi's clashed. Saiyan's soul possessed several dog heads moving around, while Katsumi's was entwined in enscriptions and symbolic writing.
Saiyan entwined her fingers and muttered an incantation. "Wolf wolves, wolf wolves," Four wolves with raven black fur appeared in front of her and snarled at Katsumi. "Wolf Rain."
"Ready Lucifer? Soul Resonance!" Katsumi impaled the kukri into the ground. "Soul Creation: Kagutsuchi!(1)" From the ground where she struck, bloack flames leaked out of the ground and ran ablazed along the entire house. Kimi would've suffered if Saiyan didn't create a barrier protecting both of them. "I see you possess Soul Creation. A neat trick, but your efforts are futile." Saiyan merely smirked and held out her hand with her palms open. "Kimi, why don't we show them what happens to those who cross our paths," She said to the trembling Kimi.
"Onee-chan, we should turn ourselves in," Kimi quivered.
"What?" Saiyan said turning to her.
"I don't want to go through this anymore; I don't want to eat innocent people," Kimi pleaded to her with tears in her eyes.
At the sound of those words, Saiyan gritted her teeth and suddenly slapped her, sending Kimi flying a few feet back. "If you don't want to be of any help," Saiyan turned towards the two with her arms ready to take them down. "Then I'll just," She suddenly gasped slightly and looked down, only to see the blade in her chest, right where her heart was. "No…"
Saiyan's body disintegrated and completely disappeared, the sight left her little sister slightly shocked at the turn of events. "Onee…chan."
The only thing left behind was her violet soul. The soul of a witch.
"Ninety-nine Kishin souls, and the soul of a witch," Katsumi said as she grasped the soul in her fingers. "You'll finally become a death scythe worthy of Shinigami-sama."
Lucifer's voice spoke from the weapon. "But before that, we have one last piece of business to take care of," At his words, Katsumi nodded and turned towards Kimi, who cowered under the woman who killed her sister in one fell swoop. "P-Please."
Despite her begging, Katsumi walked over to her and waved her hand. "Soul Constraints," From under Kimi's feet, her arms and legs were tied and she was forced to lie on the ground with all four of them spread. "Forgive me, but your kind are not allowed to exist," Katsumi raised her weapon and grasped the hilt with both hands, ready to impale it straight through her heart.
Kimi had witnessed the deaths of over a hundred innocent people, maybe even more, but now she too was going to experience that same feeling. "I don't want to die," Katsumi was caught off guard as Kimi started crying and bawling after yelling those words. "I don't want to eat innocent people, or see them suffer," Her bawling became crying to where she sounded like an actual four year old, rather than a monster.
Katsumi had found herself unable to deal the finishing blow to a little girl who cracked like this. The kukri in her hands returned to human form and stared at her. "What are you doing, hurry up and let's kill it."
'I can't," Katsumi told him much to his shock. She waved her arms and released her Soul Constraint, freeing Kimi. She walked towards her and patted her head, much to both Kimi's surprise, as well as Lucifer's.
"You heard her, she didn't like to kill. She was nothing more than a tool forced into something she didn't want to," Katsumi told him with a kind smile.
"Regardless, we can't deny what it has become. Once they've consumed human souls, they'll never be the same again," Lucifer reminded. "Besides, sooner or later, she'll be afflicted with the Madness."
"Then why don't we show her the proper path, and guide her away from the dark road. Because of us now, she has no one left, we owe her this much."
"Have you forgotten Shinigami-sama's orders? " Lucifer asked. He then covered his head. "The last time we failed a mission, I had to suffer one of those God forsaken chops."
"I'll personally talk to him, hopefully, he'll understand," Katsumi smiled at Kimi and stood up, holding out her hands. "Where are you going to go now?"
"I don't have a home, I don't have any family," Kimi whimpered, ready to burst out crying.
"You're wrong," Katsumi's smile made Kimi's stomach tingle, filled with a warm feeling that she had forgotten long ago. "Why don't you become a member of our family? I have a son who's just about your age. I think he'll be happy to have a sister."
"What?" Lucifer and Kimi asked in sync. Kimi's was as if she didn't hear right. Lucifer thought the idea was crazy.
"You heard right. And you won't have to hurt innocent people. This way, you can make friends."
"Friends," Kimi muttered. Her lips quivered for a few seconds before she hugged Katsumi and cried her eyes out, the latter consoling and comforting her. "I think we have ourselves a new daughter, Lucifer."
"You can't be serious about this," Lucifer deadpanned. His demeanor changed as his wife glared at him while she was holding Kimi, who continued crying.
"Ah jeez," Lucifer shrugged his shoulders. "Alright then," Lucifer turned to Kimi and patted her head. "Welcome to the family, Kimi Kage."
No flames or bullshit like that.
(1) Kagutsuchi is a fire god deity of Japan who burned his mother to death when she gave birth to him.
This is more of the prologue. So just a heads up, this chapter took place during the events of Soul Eater. Before Lord Death's death, the peace treaty for witches, and of course Soul himself becoming a death scythe. Or else he wouldn't be called "The Last Death Scythe"
Kimi is one of the characters from my R+V story Demon Chronicles. In this, she plays a Dark Weapon, much like Ragnorok and Giriko. Her weapon form will be revealed soon. This was a look into her past.
Lucifer and Katsumi are the parents of Kurai in the story as well. In this, I made them a Meister/Weapon duo, on top of a soon to be Death Scythe. Hunting a witch, I figured that would be appropriate.
So slightly AU, and OC centric. Some of the main characters will mostly be as teachers. Don't know much about their kids. Kid of course will play as Lord Death. So leave reviews, criticism, and anything you can think of.
Next time, with Ten Years Later
