Forgotten Shinigami

The Legend's Death…

It's been a week since I witness my mother's death. I can remember the sight as if it was yesterday, I was cooking for my mother as she was helping the priests make new ways to destroy demons without using so much spiritual energy. My mother and I are not priests, we are shinigamis that protect the humans, tell ghost to pass on, protect people from evil ghosts and demons that cannot be seen. We have powers similar to a priest but we put our spiritual energy into a weapon and release it to the living.

Taking the sword from the demon's chest and straighten my mother's collapse I sensed a pull from my chest and I heard a man's voice, "Haseo…" He said strongly.. I turned around facing his man, he was tall, looking down at me as if he was GOD himself with a black shihakusho that moved with the wind as If it was fire do to the rips from it. He had golden eyes that were narrow like a hawk's filled with strength, I struggled to talk to his man. "W-who are you…?"
