Hi minna~san, Yui~chan here with a new fic (I need to stop having so many ideas or I won't be able to finish all my ongoing fics ;/_/; maa, for a few reasons I cannot write for "Love is Screwed" so I guess that having all these ideas is fine, né? 8) )
Anyways this story was supposed to be a one~shot, but I had so much to explore so it will be a multi~chapter fic (thought the story won't be too long :p) ^w^ I hope you can like it. I had the idea to write this 'cause my eyes saw a beautiful pic of my baby Masa~nyan, he was so WOW in that pic (as he is in all pics of him x3) that my brain just started running with so many ideas XvX! *sighs*
Anyways, enjoy this 1st chap as much as you can ^^
Glossary: *Gubi – Invented by Yui~chan xD, though I love this name, it's so cute *3* isn't it? :p
1. First Killing
"Hijirikawa-sama, you are the next one on the list." A very young lady with bright brown eyes and long dark hair said slightly smiling, though it was a fake smile; Masato knew how a true smile was. He had never forgotten the bright smile of that person. Yes, that beautiful smile was still carved deep down inside his heart. Those lips gently curved up, smiling at him were the only thing he didn't want to forget for all eternity.
"Thank you." Masato answered simply, standing up from a light brown bench and heading to a large golden door, that stood in the front corridor of the small room where he had been waiting for four long hours to know who it would be his next target. For the last one hundred and seven years, Hijirikawa Masato had been taking lives one by one, day by day, away as if it was the most normal thing ever. Truth to be told, for people from that place it was, in fact, the most normal thing; and Masato was also part of their world.
This so called world was known as 'The Shinigami Land', a place inhabited by countless gods of death. Each one of those gods had been normal human beings a long time ago, however due to the fulfillment of their most important wish they had turned into shinigamis. Usually those wishes were impossible wishes, that could be realized only in people's dreams. Nevertheless, there existed an exception: all humans with special and strange capabilities, like seeing ghosts; or having visions; or even talking with dead people were able to realize the impossible wish they had. Hijirikawa Masato was one of those shinigamis, who once had been a normal human being with the capability of having premonitory dreams. He had been able to see in his dreams that he would turn into a shinigami; and when that day came, he was sure that if his wish wasn't so strong he would have given up on it. He could still remember every single moment from that day; the day when his never ending nightmare started.
"W-Where am I" Masato asked, though in reality no one was there to answer him. The blue haired male was kneeling down in the middle of a long and large room which had only a dark and golden desk in a corner of it. The room didn't have a single window nor lights, yet Masato could see everything too clearly as if that place was the most illuminated place he had ever seen.
"In paradise, Masato~kun." A husky voice murmured in his ear provoking a slow chill to run up his spine. Masato quickly looked back scared, and observed the tall dark haired man with deep red eyes that were consuming his soul as intensely as it was possible. Masato was terrified. That man's figure was too intense; his aura was too dark. Who was him? What did he want? Where did he come from? Why had he said such a thing?
While Masato was lost in his own thoughts, observing the scary man, the other male got closer to him, their faces mere inches away from each other's, and smirking he uttered slowly, "Boo~!" Masato woke up from his trance, shuddering and screaming in panic, quickly crawling back until he felt the dark desk in the room touching his back.
The terrifying man laughed strongly looking at the frightened teen. "I missed to see this reaction." Masato frowned with the man's speech as he continued, "Welcome to your new home, Hijirikawa Masato-kun."
"H-How do you know my name?" The blue haired boy asked shocked. The man approached him slowly; a mischievous grin formed in his thin lips, his red eyes half closed, and his aura's darkness more intense. Masato didn't know to where he should run away, he couldn't see a single door on that room… Then how had that man entered there? Thinking this, the blue haired teen realized that he was at this man's grace. However, to ease his panic, the man stopped half way.
"I know everything Masato-kun; because I am a god." The man said grinning mischievously, "You know that you're dead, don't you Masato-kun?" Masato swallowed hard with such a question and nodded simply, lowering his face.
"Great, then look at me Masato-kun." The blue haired teen obeyed and looked up, finding the intriguing man right in front of him. How had he moved so fast? Masato wanted to speak yet he couldn't, the fear; the anxiety were blocking him. Suddenly, the man covered his face with one of his hands and said, "I'll show you how your life will be from now on." He pressed then two of his fingertips against Masato's forehead and the blue haired boy's dark blue eyes widened with each one of the images running inside of his mind like a speeded up movie. The blue haired teen saw how majestic that place was; how all people were; how they lived their lives... but what caught his attention and made him cry desperately, was seeing how people from that place took others' lives away and suffered with such a cruel action. He saw everything as if he was living all those moments at that exact moment.
"You all cry at the beginning, but in the end you all get used to it Masato-kun." The man spoke, finally removing his hand from the blue haired male's face and with such an action Masato's clothes were magically replaced by a costume similar to the one that everyone wore; the only difference was the color of it. Masato's outfit was composed by a white long-sleeved shirt, tight dark blue pants and knee-length boots, and lastly a long dark blue cape.
"Be strong, because this is all for your own sake." The dark haired man said and Masato looked at him too shocked to react; tears covering all his innocent expression. "Ah and one more thing…" The man clicked his fingers and added, "That's your weapon Masato-kun, grab it." Masato's trembling arm was stretched out, his hand was almost touching the long and strange instrument which was floating right in front of him, when suddenly the man's words stopped him, "But, once you grab it you won't be able to come back on your choice."
Masato's dark blue eyes widened briefly, yet he closed them slowly and grabbed his long-handled scythe determined. "As long as my wish is granted," he opened his eyes and faced the other man finishing, "I don't mind if my new life here is rough."
The dark haired man grabbed his chin and muttered very slowly, "You are a very interesting shinigami Masato-kun." The blue haired male remained quiet, simply looking at those intense red eyes of the other male, giving up on all his happiness. His wish was the only thing that mattered now and forever.
"Tsk, it's useless remembering about this right now. It's always the same Masato… Even after so many years of stealing peoples' lives away, you still feel guilty." Masato thought, floating in front of a luxurious house with enormous gates and a very vivid and beautiful garden. That place was like a mansion described in all the fairy tales.
"So… my new victim lives at this fantastic place huh?" He made a pause to sigh and then resumed, "I guess I'll kill one more of those old men really rich." He sighed again, however this time because he was trying to control his annoyance. Yet he wasn't able.
"Ah geez, shut up will you? Why the hell did he force me to bring a *Gubi with me?" Masato yelled at the little bird which was chirping annoyingly right in his ears. And, instead of obtaining the bird's approval, the petit animal began to peak his face. The blue haired male sighed again. "I'm sorry; I'm sorry. I'm just annoyed with this job." He then looked at the window he had in front of him and smiling he looked at the little bird once again. "Let's go, let's take care of our new victim until the end of his days."
Masato passed through the closed window always looking at the small bird. Yet, suddenly, he looked up and his dark blue eyes were completely widened in shock. Instead of an old man his victim was a captivating young man with light blue eyes, looking surprisingly at him, and shoulder-length blond hair. His heart stopped beating for time enough to let him whisper the gorgeous blond male's name.
"Jin…guji Ren?"
"W-Who are you?" The blond asked suddenly, taking Masato's breathe away. The blue haired shinigami was now completely alarmed with the sudden discovery.
"He can see me?" Masato thought looking at him too shocked to move.
XvX I hope you're not too bored xp
