GodofGreed: Well, it's been over a year since I last updated. I feel like a douche.

Nagisa: Life's rough. Besides, you only have about 3 days until your parents are sending you somewhere.

GodofGreed: *groans* Don't remind me. I hate travelling, and every summer, they make me travel! Every time I try to tell them that, my mother either implies that I'm ungrateful for my life, or says it. As for my father? He doesn't listen to me even if I have the solution to his problems in my hand. *sigh* A week stuck with him with no internet, joy.

Nagisa: Wow…you've been holding this in, haven't you?

GodofGreed: About as long as you've been holding in your feelings about your gender-crazed mother.

Nagisa: *glares at me with bloodlust*

GodofGreed: I think we should start the story before someone *cough* me *cough* gets hurt.

Nagisa: Good idea.

GodofGreed: But first, this story is heavily inspired by Rainbowkittyblossomwings and RunwithscissorsXXXbattlescars' story Shattered Wings. But the plot will be very different.Enjoy!

Around 1,000 years ago, demons started dying. Had these deaths been the result of their own stupidity, a string of misfortunate events, or even unconnected, the entire matter would have been dismissed as a sad event. But no, the deaths were too spread out and too similar to be anything but connected, as demons are difficult to kill, and it is practically impossible to do so by accident.

But the one thing no one could figure out was why. The dead demons had nothing in common. Rich and poor, intelligent and dumb, criminals and those who enforce the laws; no one was spared, and no one was safe from the mysterious assassin.

Until one day, the great demon scientist, Kotarō Yanagisawa, created a device to locate the rogue demon. Unfortunately, the rogue demon discovered he was being chased and fled into our world, with the demon authorities in pursuit.

The rogue demon then proceeded to assassinate a great number of humans, something which sparked the human-demon war.

The war only served as a means of entertainment for the rogue demon, and whenever one side seemed to turn the tide, he would assassinate a good portion of said side. Had the war continued the way it had, neither side would have won, and whoever survived the war would have been easy pickings for the malicious assassin.

Thankfully, the demon king, Gakuhō Asano, arrived and met with King Akabane and discussed what caused the war and the reason for the fighting. Together, they negotiated a peace treaty to detain the rogue demon, and end his spread of death.

The one army, comprised of both human and demons, searched for the rogue demon, utilizing all of Yanagisawa's technology.

The peace treaty created all those years ago remains strong to this day. In exchange for peace, the demons share their technology with us, and we in turn provide them with energy only found inside of human bodies.

Once a year, a certain number of demons will arrive in our world, and a newly christened teenager may serve as a guide to the demon for 2-7 years. This is done to serve as a reminder to the older demons of their promise, and allowing the younger demons a chance to experience the human world.

As for the rogue demon, he was found hiding on the moon, but destroyed 70% of it, leaving a permanent crescent. After that, we have yet to find a clue as to where he is now, but he is still out there. There are still unexplained assassinations and missing people to consider otherwise.

As a sign of how powerful he is, the rogue demon was given the name 'God of Death.'

~~~~~~~LINE_BREAK~~~~~~~

Kayano Kaede closed the history book with a sigh, before grumbling to herself sarcastically, "Yeah, that was useful. Wasn't some basic history lesson, nope not at all."

The green-haired girl's head hit the top of the history book, "I just wanted to know what the average demon was like, what kind of technology they had access to, nothing too deep. But…I need to know…"

Kayano scowled as she thought of her missing sister. The investigators found no sign of forced entry and concluded that the God of Death must have taken her, and if so, there was a good chance that Kayano wouldn't want to see the end result.

After that, Kayano put her name down on the list for demon hosts once she turned 13. If she was lucky, she would get Yanagisawa. His knowledge combined with her passion to see her sister again might be enough to find, and kill, the God of Death.

"Hey, green girl, you got a problem with something?"

Looking up, Kayano saw Prince Karma Akabane, the next ruler of the human race, and an aggressive psychopath.

Glaring at Karma, Kayano snapped, "My name's not 'green girl,' it's Kayano Kaede, and I've got a problem with these books! These books are supposed to help us mentally prepare us to share our heads with a demon, but all these books are about generic history and octopi! How is this supposed to help?"

Looking over at the books, Karma answered, "You're right. These are worthless."

Prepared to unleash another rant, Kayano's jaw dropped at Karma's answer, especially in such a casual voice, "Huh?"

Karma nodded, "Yeah, my old man-" People gasped at how disrespectful the prince was of the king, despite the rumors they heard about him, "he doing nothing right now. Hell, I can't remember the last time he did anything of value."

More gasps.

Karma continued, either ignoring the shocked eavesdroppers or oblivious to them, "Yeah, all he does is go on 'diplomatic missions' and 'lead rescue teams.' Ha! His so-called diplomatic missions are always at some 5-star resort in some expensive paradise, and his 'rescue teams' are popularity stunts. He has someone edit his picture into a poor region, so that it looks like he's helping someone."

No one knew what to say.

Karma then said, "Once I'm ruling this world, there will be changes. For starters, these books will be replaced by books containing advice from people who either once had a demon, or currently has one."

Kayano blinked once, before she smiled, "That…that actually sounds like a good idea."

Karma grinned, "Of course it does, I thought of it after all."

Kayano opened her mouth to continue the conversation with her new friend, but a door opened and a man wearing a lab coat stepped into the room, "It's time."

With those two words being said, everyone got up and walked into the now open hallway, searching for the room with their name on it.

Kayano stepped into her room, upon looking around; she noticed some strange symbols within a circle all etched into the floor. Having received instructions before, she knew she had to be within the circle and wait for the energy to charge up, allowing an easy portal into the mortal realm.

After 10 minutes, Kayano was beginning to think that they had forgotten to send the necessary power to her room. But before se could even contemplate acting on that thought, the symbols beneath her lit up, and an unfathomable pain shot through her entire body.

Despite the horrible pain, she forced herself to remain conscious. She didn't want the demon to think she was some pushover host or let him/her take her body out for a joyride before their first meeting.

Still struggling, she forced herself to look up, and the last thing she saw was a flash of blue before everything went black.

(AN: I was thinking about ending it here.)

~~~~~~~LINE_BREAK~~~~~~~

Kayano opened her eyes to behold a sight very different than what she expected.

What she expected was to see the ceiling of the room she was in, the infirmary, or a (small) number of other places if the demon wanted to take her body for a joyride.

What she did not expect was to wake up in what appeared to be a horribly rundown shack with cracked windows, old wood, support columns that look like they're about to collapse, and more than enough mold.

Sitting up, Kayano asked herself, "Where am I? How did I get here?"

Shuddering at the sight of some moldy food, "I hope my demon didn't bring me here. If this is the kind of place it likes…" Kayano ended her sentence with a shudder.

Suddenly, a door opened, and a blue haired (tied into a ponytail) teen entered the room. Upon seeing that Kayano was awake, the blue-haired teen smiled, "Oh, good. You're awake. I guess we have to introduce ourselves now, huh? I'm the demon that's going to be living with you for the next couple of years. My name's Nagisa, what's yours?"

Kayano blinked, "…Wait…you're the demon that's in my head?"

Nagisa nodded.

Kayano asked, "But…why are you out here…instead of you know…INSIDE MY FREAKIN' SKULL?"

Nagisa blinked, "But…I am. I brought you here because I wanted to meet you face to face. Welcome to your own mind."

Kayano looked around, "THIS IS MY MIND?"

Nagisa looked nonplussed, "…Yes…"

Kayano started denying it, jumping around, claiming that her mind can't be some moldy shack.

Nagisa stood up and grabbed her shoulders, "Calm down! You're going to give yourself a migraine!"

Kayano calmed down with a few minutes, "Sorry about that, I guess I was expecting something…something…"

She spun her hand in a circle, as if trying to conjure up the perfect word.

Eventually, she decided on, "Different."

Nagisa responded, "That's okay. To be completely honest, human minds are blank unless a demon comes in to remodel."

Kayano looked around, "So why did you decide on…this?"

Nagisa looked down for a second, hiding his sad eyes, "That's personal."

Kayano waved her hands, "Right! Sorry about that!"

Nagisa responded, "That's okay. You didn't know."

Kayano sighed, "To be completely honest. I'm glad I got you."

Nagisa raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Why is that?"

Kayano smiled, "Well, even though I said I didn't care if I got a male, female, or one of the other genders demons have, demon, I was kind of hoping for a girl."

Nagisa's mouth dropped open, "You think I'm a girl?"

Kayano stopped talking long enough to hear Nagisa's question, "You mean you aren't a girl?"

Nagisa answered, "I'm a boy."

Kayano started stuttering out apologies to the feminine looking demon, but Nagisa just said, "I think you should return to the real world now."

Before Kayano could properly apologize, she was already back in the real world. Back in control of her now conscious body.

Nagisa walked over to the window, which seemed to gain another crack, and he stared at the eternal night sky and the only source of light in this world-the crescent moon.

"I wonder where the God of Death is now."
