DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything, only a couple of characters and the plot.
Chapter 1
It was cold outside, the wind was merciless as I dragged my self across the snow. My small and frail body felt as if it would break under all of the pressure and numbing cold. How could God be so crewel? The one person for whom I needed help from just left me here to die. Each step that I took was turning my feet black. I couldn't stand it anymore, I passed out.
That was eight and a half years ago. Since then I have met General Tydol and General Cross. They both tutored me for six years, Three with Tydol, then three with Cross,and the past two and a half I have been traveling alone, I'm sixteen now, no place to go, no home, family, or friends. Just me and my cat, Riku. Japan was a very small place, depending on how you look at it, horizontal or vertical. Ether way, it's small.
I work at a local Inn and Bar. In return I get a place to stay and food. It was a good deal, its not THAT hard of a job. Just the costumers and the local drunks trying to feel up your ass. I saw them when I was cleaning the tables, my red hair was pinned up so that it looked like a mans haircut, my silver green eyes furrowed in concentration, and my mans bar uniform was messed up. It had grow larger again, How long were they going to was the uniforms? I was only 5'1". It doesn't take a genus to learn how to wash clouths I looked up and they were just walking in. They weren't a suspicious group, then I saw their uniforms and badges, they were from the Black Order. I sigh and walked over to them just as they were setting down. I looked at them.
There were two of them. One looked like he was from around here while the other looked... Well like an idiot. I looked at the one who blended in. He had long blue black hair, gray blue eyes, and was about 6'1". He was well built, Probably a swords man by thee marks on his hands, he didn't look like the type who liked to talk much. The other man had red hair that stood up on ends, it was allot different than mine, mine was a bit darker with black streaks in it. And an eye patch too. It looked like his eye was brown. I couldn't tell what his Innocence was but, he looked like a fighter to me. They both were talking about something. Maybe I would finally get some help with all of the Akuma running around. When I got closer I heard some of what they were saying.
"Are you sure we are in the right place?" The red head asked. His voice laced with worrie, I guess that something had gone wrong or they wouldn't be this far out. What was going on back at Head Quarters? So much for them sending me any help...
"Yes. According to Komui there has been allot of Akuma movement over here. But, it has been decreasing rapidly. We have to find out WHO is doing it and bring them back to HQ. According to our monitor there should be some activity tonight." My eyes widened. They were looking for me? What the hell is going on at HQ? I didn't think that I would even HIT the radar. I was trying to be- wait did they just say tonight?
"Are you sure sure? 'cause I don't want this to be another of your screw ups Kanda." He got hit, Hard. I bit my lip to hide a laugh. They were an entertaining group. I guess I'll get to meet them tonight. Kanda huh? Hmm... They started talking about other things, like battle plans, how to avoid someone named Komui when they get back, what to order. Nothing too important. Later on I led them to their rooms, I nodded goodnight to them. The redhead kept on trying to talk to me but I just ignored them and bid them a hasty farewell. I had to get dressed if I was going to fight all of those Akuma, I don't know if those two will even show up. I hurry and change into my battle outfit. Standard black with boots, Knives, guns, swords, and bombs. If my calculations were correct then tonight would be a big night.
I headed out, it was as cold as that day but this time, I was ready. When I got there the Akuma was swarming, they were only level Four so it wouldn't be too hard. I hoped. they all stood in front of me.
"We have come to take you back." One said sneering at me, I glared.
"You cannot avoid us forever, some day you will have to embrace what you are, WHO you are and not run from it. Come home child, back to the Millennium Earl and to Tyke. He has been very worried about you." The other one leered. I shivered, I wasn't going back, not without a fight. I grabbed my knife a cut myself with it. My blood was my innocence. It had the power to kill them all. I headed strait into battle, a boom shook the city as I threw a bomb, The others should have heard that and they should have been here by now.
Kanda's POV
We had just settled in, Lavi was complaining about how rude the servant was, personally I didn't give a damn. HE wasn't who we were searching for. I yawned and stretched, we wouldn't get any sleep tonight. When we talked to the owner in the Inn he said that there was a man going around killing people, lots of them. And that he only came out at night, it was a rare sighting but sometimes in the day. This man was known as a fierce warrior once. Proud and strong, goes by the name Onikuro. I rolled my eyes at the name. It was probably dubbed by the towns people. Also, as the story goes, he wears all back and no-one has ever seen his face and lived.
"Some story huh Kanda?" Lavi asked, not bothering to take off his boots as he laid down on the bed.
"A crack story if you ask me. A mass murderer? And on top of that, wears all black? How stupid can these people be. It's obviously a persona user. There is no other explanation. Unless the story is true and then we came all the way here for nothing." I closed my eyes.
"How mean Yu! they were only trying to help! This person isn't covering his tracks. Though there is a slight chance that their story might be true. You never know, although, I REALLY hope that this isn't another wild goose chase." He pouted. I threw the night stand at his head and it made a satisfying 'thunk' and hit hit the floor. "OW DAMN IT WHAT WAS THAT FOR YU!" He yelled getting up off of his face. He had a satisfying bruise the size of a bowling ball coming out of his head.
"You called me 'Yu', and I was hoping to create some braincells in that empty head of yours. Though with YOUR luck you never know. I could try again there are three other dressers." I smirked. His face went wight. I closed my eyes.
"Yu... Your so meeeeeaaaannn..." He wined I went to go grab another when a violent vibration shook the room. Probably the whole town.
"I take it that's our que lets get going Rabbit." I say as I jump out the window. I hear him muttering as he follows me. It doesn't take that long to find out where the source of the vibration. A teenaged boy was fighting off level Four Akuma. He looked badly wounded, there was allot of blood everywhere. We joined the fight.
Back to the Other Ones POV My reinforcements had finally arrived. I breathed a breath of relief. And then met my new friend the ground. I groaned and got up, I was bleeding heavily and didn't know how much longer I could take of this. I HAD to keep going or the whole town would be over run. I took out one of my guns and rubbed my blood on the side of it, my blood seemed to be absorbed by the gun and it turned black and red. I started firing, I got allot of them that way before I went back to my sword, I had run out of bullets. I saw the red head had an extendable hammer, it seemed to grow and shrink. The one called Kanda on the other hand, had a Samurai Sword. He was elegant using it gracefully, yet deadly. The perfect combination. I thanked Kaim that at least there was someone who knew what he was doing. Unlike the redhead who was just swinging a hammer. Then again he was swinging it pretty accurately.
I had the last one, it was right at the end of my sword. I looked at it in pity.
"Do not pity me child. For the Millennium Earl will come and take you away. Then you will be back where you belong. There is not a place in the world that you can run where we won't find you. Good luck, Iris." I plunged the knife into it. It disappeared and it's soul was set free. The souls surrounded around me and I lifted my hand up to the sky a light surround me and the souls went up into it. my job was complete.
I looked up at them as they disappeared, and smiled sadly. One day I would be able to join them. One day, until then I was going to kill these mother fuckers, and rid them and the Noah off the face of the earth. I shook my head out of my trance and looked around for the ones who had helped me. They had disappeared. Confused I started to wander around a bit, my knives were still in my hands. I looked down and saw the state my hands were in. I cursed and ran towards the Inn.
On the way back I felt as if someone was following me. I smirked and headed the opposite direction of where I needed to be. I lead them in a circle and lost them. Or so I thought. After thirty-five minutes of running I paused to catch my breath. I hope that I lost them... I was in front of the grave yard. I looked around and then entered. As I was walking I pondered things. How was I going to out run these people? sure I was thankfull for their help but... I wasn't ready to leave yet. There were too many things that I had to do. To many things that I had to make up for.I reached the graves that I was looking for.
I got on my knees and started to pray. Whispering out loud a bit. "I'm sorry... I had no other choice... please forgive me... It was what i was trained to do... I didn't want to do it... But you were no longer yourselves... You were incoherent and eventually would have hurt innocent people... okaa-san, ototo-san, onee-san, nii-san, little brother... Why...? Why did you bring him into it? I know what you were doing... I always did. I hope... even though you did what you did... You get peace. Knowing that your experiment was complete." I spit at the graves, "That now I can never be normal. Then you..." My voice raises, "You go and you do something as stupid as sell me off, and then ask to be made Akumas! How stupid can you get? Then you go and bring him into it..." I crouch down next to the little grave an touch it tenderly. I was whispering again. "My baby brother. Who died because of you. You all did, because you sold yourselves to be Akuma. I'm going now, and I won't be come back. Good-bye, everyone. Don't worrie, I'll take your secrets to the grave. Maybe." I nod, towards the others, kiss my brother and then I walk off.
As I walk out of the graveyard I ponder some more. Should I go with the Black Cross? I lost them but they are going to try and contact me again... I give out an aggravated sigh and rummage around my pockets. There HAD to be a cigarette in there somewhere in these god damn clothes. I cursed and started walking towards the Inn.
Kandas POV When we heard what the Akuma had just said we froze. What was it talking about. I nodded at Lavi and we hid and watched. People, at least they looked like people, started to gather around him. they looked like the souls of the Akuma that we had just killed. Eventually it looked like he glowed. They didn't look like people anymore, just blobs of wight. a light seemed to come out of the sky and shined right on him. He raised his hand up towards the light his whole body lifted off the ground as all of the lights went up into the light. He was set back down on the ground, the light was still shining on. He looked up at it and smiled sadly, why was he sad? the thought popped into my head but I quickly pushed it way. i shouldn't have thoughts like that.
He finally became aware of his surroundings, and looked around confused. He was probably wondering where we went. He started to search. Finally after fifteen minutes he gave up and started running.
"What was that light?" Lavi asked me. He was just as confused as I was.
"I don't know Rabbit, you're the Bookman figure it out." He glared at me.
"I think it was the souls of the people that the Akuma had captured. What they were feeding off of. But where were they going..." he trailed off.
"What does the wight light usually mean?" I ask him.
"Well... Peace I guess. Maybe he sent them to a place where they could rest." He shrugged. "I'm no expert but, you should have been able to figure that out Yu-tama." I glared at him. I was about to say something when the teen started to speed up and then head the other direction. We followed him around for about twenty minutes before we lost him.
"Damn it we lost him. Great NOW what are we going to do? We probably won't be able to see him again for a while." I kicked a wall causing a hole to form in it.
"You shouldn't do that Yu. Then we have to pay for it. Think of what Komui would think and say." He mock gasped in horror. I start to head towards him when I heard yelling. I looked at Lavi and he nodded. It took us fifteen minutes to find out where it was coming from. A grave yard? I look at Lavi he shrugged. We silently entered and saw the boy there. He was in front of a little grave on his knees. He was speaking.
"... Died because of you. You all did, because you sold yourselves to be Akuma. I'm going now, and I won't be coming back, Good-bye everyone. Don't worrie, I'll take your secrets to the grave. Maybe." He kisses the smallest one, and then gets up and walks off. As soon as he is out of sight I send Lavi to follow him and to not loose him this time. He grumbles about always being the one to do the dirty work and follows him. I walk over to the grave and take a look at them. They where all in family name. Kuroshiro, so I guess the old man was right. On some parts of the story anyway. I look at the one he had kissed. It was a boy, about the age of nine.
I sighed and looked down at the whole lot. He must be the only one left. I decided to find out more about this, I don't know why but it strikes me as odd. What had happened to this family?
