Here is the next chapter, where you will know better the OC I created.

Maybe the events will seem to be a little precipitate, but I have to clarify quickly some elements of the story, like this story of Spirit's number that or the same or the Kotori Arc.

Enjoy the chapter! =D

As for the last chapter, the things written in parenthesis are just heard by my OC.

Chapter 2: Bad First Impressions

Today, the classroom was pretty lively. Everyone was talking about the spacequack that had happened the day before in the next city. This time again there was no victim to deplore but the damages had been substancial and the city had to be rebuilt completely. Shidou was sat at his desk and talking with Tohka about the events of the eve.

"Eh? You met the Spirit who came yesterday?"

"Yeah. He successfully lost the AST and I talked to him at this time."

"How is he?"

"He looked like to be quite calm. The prefered to run away from the AST rather than to fight them, like Yoshino did."

"I'd like to meet him too! Say, can I?"

"Well, it's just that –"

"Be quiet in here and sit down!" The teacher said while entering the classroom. "I've the pleasure to introduce a new transferred student to you. Come in!"

A young teenager entered the classroom when called: he had short black hair, light-blue and violet eyes and the average-sized school uniform. He was watching at his surrondings, until he stopped before the blackboard's middle, where he was asked to introduce himself.

"(Just don't tell anyone that you're actually a Spirit. They wouldn't understand.)"

"Good morning everybody. My name's Kamigami Keiichi." He said while writing his name, 神五 圭市, on the blackboard. "I just came here. I hope that we can get along and that I'll be able to know better this land."

When he finished his introduction, he went to take place at an empty desk near a window while the others students were applauding him and looking at him with a smile. Except for one, Tobiichi Origami, who was glaring at him, which he didn't fail to notice. This was intriguing him a lot: why did she hate him that much, whereas she didn't know anything about him? Apart from that, the following classes were History, which piqued the interest of the "young" Spirit.

At the next break, the studients hurried to Keiichi in order to ask him all the questions they had in mind about his origin, his family, his hobbies...

"Do you come from a foreign country?"

"Why did you come here in particulary? Because of the spacequacks?"

"(Damn this Humans and their questions...)"

"Spacequack?" Keiichi asked, without understanding the word.

"You don't know about them?" Asked together the studients, shocked.

"Where I used to live, I didn't hear anything about spacequacks. Sorry..." He said while lowering his head.

"It's not that important. Spacequacks are sort of explosions that have randomly occurred for the last 30 years. The last one happened yesterday in the next city? You see what I'm talking about now?"

"(Hmph! She looks like a caring person but in reality she thinks of you as an idiot.)"

"Ye..yeah, thank you. If you may excuse me."

Keiichi got out of the classroom to go to the toilet, in order to review this first hour. When arrived alone in front of the washbasin, he opened the tap and wet his face. Inside the mirror, his reflection became confused and a few seconds later seemed to look at him as if it were looking through a window. It began to talk to Keiichi:

"So? This first contact with Humans wasn't very good, was it?"

"First, they all seem to be nice, but a lot of them do not think what they say …"

"Their past is completely fillet with wars without interest. Why would they have fought for a territory they could have shared with everyone? Humans are so possessive."

"Past is past! We cannot judge them without knowing all about them!"

"For me, what I saw is quite enough to apply my sentence. However, like I said, you're the one in command after all. I'll try to make up your mistakes later."

"You don't have to worry about me that much. I just hace to clear some things with that Tobiichi Origami."

"That's quite a good idea. You'll be able to see the whole hatred of the humankind through this woman."

Without saying anything more, Keiichi went back to the classroom and sat down at his desk, then began to watch at the sky outside. Someone accosted him and a voice he almost immediately recognized cut his daydreaming.

"Keiichi-san! You finally came."

"Oh? Shidou-san, you're here too? You were right, coming here was a very interesting experiment."

"I said so. But now, let me introduce some peoples to you."

"Hum?"

"Here's a friend of mine, Yatogami Tohka, who just arrived a few weeks before, and here's my sister, Kotori."

"Nice to meet you!" A joyful Tohka said.

"Yo." An emotionless Kotori said while chewing a lollipop.

"All the pleasure is for me. Like I said, I'm Kamigami Keiichi and I just came to this land."

"(It's useless to pretend anymore. They know you're a Spirit.)"

"…"

"Do you want to come with us on the rooftop at noon for the lunch?" Tohka asked.

"(Oh, she really means what she said without a second thought. Surprising.)"

"I think I don't mind."

"Then, see you later, Keiichi-san!" Shidou said as he came back to his seat.

The classes resumed after that and were about physics. Keiichi discovered the Humans' knowledge about space and found it wonderful for simple Humans, while the voice in his head was just sighing. Finally, the classes finished and the lunchbreak began. Shidou and his friends seemed to be already gone to the rooftop to wait for him there. He decided to immediately go to meet with them. While he was climbing the stairs that led to the roof, he was caught at a turn and plaqued between the wall and the assaulter...who was nobody else than Origami.

"Good timing, I was just about to go to talk to you. You helped me."

"Why did you come here?" She demanded with a threatening glare.

"In order to discover more exactly this world. Is that the raison for hating me?"

"No. Your only existence is the cause of me hating you!"

"(Keiichi, let me deal with her. Now.)"

"I... no, I just can't do that, she didn't try any –"

"Sooner, I'll fight you and kill you. And I think I'll do it now." She said with a threatening voice.

"(NOW!)"

Suddently, Keiichi caught the hands of Origami and pressed her against the opposite wall. Keiichi's gaze had become more aggressive. When he began to talk, even his voice seemed different for Origami.

"Just let us in peace with your problem of hatred."

"What?" She said, surprised by the sudden strength of Keiichi.

"I'd like to deal with you now, but we have other plans. By then, keep quiet."

While saying that, Keiichi released his hold on Origami who fell on the floor. How could a person that had seemed so weak have that much strength? Why did all about him change for this few secondes? Origami was asking herself a lot of questions while Keiichi had resumed his walk to the roof.

He finally reached the roof where Shidou, Tohka and Kotori were waiting for him at the edge. They saw him avec waved at him to indicate their presence. He rejoined them and sat down with them. No one could have know what he did a few seconds before.

"You don't have something to eat, Keiichi-san?" Shidou asked.

"I do not need to eat very often. You should know that since you're aware that I'm a Spirit."

"Eh? How did you know we were aware of that?" Tohka asked, surprised.

"I knew it. That's all that matters."

"Anyway, the sealed Spirits need to eat, them." She said while eating her bento.

"Sealed...spirits?" Keiichi repeated, not sure about what he just heard.

"Yeah, sealed Spirits, like Yoshino and me. That's Shidou who can do –"

Kotori had rushed to Tohka and covered her mouth, making her unable to continue her sentence. But it was enough for Keiichi to become more suspicious. On the Faxinus where his mood was constantly watched, his bar of doubt want up all of a sudden, as well for the bar of suspicion. However, as always, the bars of anger and violence have stayed zero for all the time, except for a few seconds just before. Keiichi asked:

"What did she mean by sealing Spirit, Shidou-san?"

"Well... I've the ability to seal Spirits' powers –"

"Shidou!" Kotori cut him.

"To be short, we do that to protect them from the AST, who can't attact them after being sealed. But I don't plan on sealing you if you don't want to, don't worry!"

Nothing was heard on the roof for one minute, while Keiichi seemed to deeply think about what he was just told. How would he react? The answer for this question was uncertain, no one could anticipate the next events. When Keiichi talked again, everyone was focused on his words:

"I believe you."

"Huh?"

"I believe you. I put my trust in you, Shidou-san, because I think you're not that kind of person that betray other people's trust."

"Since it's settled, ave a lunch with us. To find out what we eat here." Kotori said, relieved.

"… I think I'll take the offer. Thank you."

The classes had ended and Shidou had left before the other with Keiichi, who was looking around him anxiously. Since the lunchbreak, his moodmeter had just been becoming more and more unstable, as for his trust on the other people. Kotori could do nothing but worry about the future: if it went on like that, the situation could become out of control. On the other hand, the mental talking between Keiichi and the voice had intensified.

"I don't know what to do anymore. I thought the world was beautiful, but I just can't undestand his inhabitants."

"They're just waiting for the good moment to make you harmless! Something must be done before it's too late!"

"But Shidou seems to know what he's doing. He said he wouldn't try to seal me. He can be trusted, can't he?"

"Actually I do not know. Why is he alone with you? Don't forget that of we are sealed, we will be in the same state as back when you were in our dimension!"

"I know that! But try to understand! He's the only Human in whom I can trust in the world for now!"

"I'm here to portect us from this world. You'll have to let me deal with the matters that will happen soon."

"…"

Shidou was anxiously looking at Keiichi: his face was very tense and he seemed to be in reflexion. He really wanted Keiichi to feel like he was at home in this world; he really thought that Keiichi wouldn't cause any threat if he were let tranquil. He decided to break the silence and to pull him out of his thoughts.

"Keiichi-san, how did find this day at the school?"

"I was surprised."

"Surprised?"

"I didn't know Humans could be that hateful and suspicous. Spread rumors, hurt each other, play pranks..."

"…"

"Nevertheless, there are some people like you, who care about the other people with kindness. The only I can trust."

"I'm sorry about that..."

"Sorry?" Keiichi asked.

"Sorry about –"

At this moment, a shot was heard behind them, cutting Shidou's sentence, who turn around immediately. He saw the shooter a hundred meters away: Origami … Suddenly, a terrible thought crossed his mind and he faced Keiichi. When he saw his, he was frightened: the shot had crossed him and a pool of blood was alrealy at his feet. Keiichi was holding his wound and turned in the direction of Shidou, his look reflecting disillusionment.

"So that's why you were sorry..."

"What? No! That's not that! I –"

"Nii-san was right: I was a fool to trust Humans. He's the only one that can be trusted."

"Listen to me Keiichi! Please!"

"I leave the rest to you, Nii-san. Do what you want."

Keiichi wasn't already listening to him. The bleeding had stopped at his stomach, where blue lines had covered his wound, that disappeared a few seconds later. Then he turned towards Shidou while his school uniform was turning in a long black coat.

"You were the only one we trusted, and you just broke this trust. I have to congratulate you."

"Let me expl –"

"Shut up! For having lured Keiichi, I will kill you. Now."

"Shidou, get out of there! He's really about to kill you! I don't like to say that but actually, only the AST has a chance to deal with him!" Kotori shouted in his earplug.

"It's useless to listen to her, Shidou-kun." He said with a smooth voice. "It'd be a piece of cake for me to take care of them."

Shidou stepped back at his words.

"Now, die in front of your friends!" He shouted with rage.

He pointed his finger towards Shidou and began to create a red energy ball. Once the ball had become as bug as his head, he threw it at Shidou, who put his arms in front of him to try to protect himself. However, the ball didn't hit him: in fact, when Shidou put down his arms, he saw Origami holding an energy sword, that was traveled by little red thunders.

"Shidou-san, I'll deal with him. Please retreat."

"Origami..."

"Hahahaha! Do you really think I'll let you escape like that? First of all, I'll lighten some things about us." He paused. "Actually, I'm the voice in Keiichi's head and I'm controlling his body to deal with you."

"Why sould I trust in a Spirit that manipulates the mind of Shadow?"

"Shadow?" He asked while raising a eyebrow.

"That's the codename given to the Spirit known as Kamigami Keiichi."

"I like it. It corresponds to us perfectly."

"We don't have one to you but it doesn't matter since we'll kill you right now."

"You didn't understand, did you? I am Keiichi. We are a Spirit that has a complex split personality. These personalities just coexist together."

"What?" She exclaimed.

"I don't expect you to understand... I also see that you brought some friends." He said while seeing the AST landing nearby.

"With me, kill him!" Origami shouted.

"Idiot!" He said with a mad-looking smile. "Come to me, Guardian of the space's balance, Dimensio!"

He lifted his hand in the air and the shape of a sword materialized in the form of many red lines. A red blade that was one-meter-long and ten-centimeter-large replaced the lines, surrounded by a crimson aura, while the custody was dark-blue. A membre of the AST shot a laser towards him, to his head. The Spirit – Shadow – smiled and hit the laser with the extremity of his blade, annihilating the attack. Despite this fail, thes assaulters kept attacking him in the same way, while the Spirit simply countered them or dodged them without any difficulty.

"It's not possible that it's the same Spirit we fought before!"

"What the said is true: he is the Shadow we fought yesterday. I understand better what they said when describing him as God."

"Do you think they'll make it alive?" Shidou asked to Kotori.

"I hope so. I wouldn't want to be forced to do this..." She said with a lower voice.

"What did you just say?" I didn't heard.

"Nothing at all!"

Constantly attacked by the AST, Shadow was beginning to lose his patience. Why didn't these Humans let him apply his judgment? He decided then to make it stop the fastest as possible.

"You are beginning to get on my nerves. When will you realize already that it's useless?"

"Shut up! We'll beat the crap out of you, you parasite!"

"… Parasite? Is that what I just heard?" Shadow said while tightening his fist. "Insolent Humans, you'll have a taste of the power a God-like Spirit: DIMENSIONAL CAGE!"

He pointed his sword to the group and the extremity lightened, showing his angered look. At this moment, he was not playing anymore and was attacking to kill. They just called him a parasite. A parasite. He couldn't let it pass without doing something. The second after, the floor was nothing but a grid of red lines on black background. Suddenly he lowered his sword to the floor and the lines became distorted, encircling the AST, which was trapped in it. Shadow dragged his blade on the floor and walked towards the trapped while pointing his hand's paum to them. Theses ones tried de break the cage, but they failed despite all their efforts. However, Shadow stopped walking and turned towards Shidou, who was standing not far away from him. Then he raised his sword to the sky and a siren was heard around them. He wanted to finish this fight quicker and without any risk, so he had triggered a spacequack.

"I didn't want to do that in the first place, but I will not take any risk."

"Why are you doing this?! Does Human lives mean nothing for you?!"

"Collateral damages." He replied coldly, without the slightest hesitation.

The air vibrated and a sort of tornado descended from the sky, precursor of the incoming spacequack. It was descending quickly to the ground, where the AST could do nothing to counter him. Shadow began to laugh when he saw the desesperate look of the people. The tornado touched the ground, which began to shake. But to the surprise of everyone, the spacequack didn't happen and the shake stopped. The Spirit wasn't laughing anymore and was looking at the sky. A voice was heard:

"Spacequacks can be canceled by triggering another one with the same intensity. Didn't you know that?"

"Who're you? Show up or I'll catch you by myself!"

"I'd like to see that."

Something appeared very quickly behind him, who didn't have the time to turn around. He was hit by a energy wave in the back that went through him and sent him crashing in a wall, making him drop his sword? At the same time, the cage disappeared and the AST was released. When Shidou recognized the Spirit, he was shocked.

"... Kotori?"

"From now on, I'll take care of all. I'll never forgive anything he's done to you."

"... Why are you a Spirit?" He asked, still surprised.

"I'll answer later. Just retreat!"

Shadow stood up while ejecting the rubble on him and was trying to heal himself the wame way he did previously, but he seemed to have trouve since his wound was burning. Literally. However, he somehow managed to make his wound disappear. For the first time, he seemed surprised when he saw his new opponent.

"Shadow, prepare to be defeated."

"Tsk. Itsuka Kotori... I should have known you were hosting a Spirit, but to think you'd be the same kind of Spirit as me... Well, since you're against me, I'll have to kill you."

"What do you mean by the same kind of Spirit?" Kotori asked, suspicious.

"It doesn't matter. Prepare yourself." He said while catching his sworld through another distortion of the space.

Two Spirits were now facing one another, watched by the powerless Shidou and AST. It was impossible to know who was going to win this dual between two Spirits whose powers were mostly unknown.

That's all for the chapter 2. As you saw, this one triggered the Kotori Arc with Keiichi going berserk.

Next chapter, you'll learn a little about the weakness of Keiichi during the fight between the two Spirit. ;)
