Chapter 1
"Mu..ra..ki..."
"That's it boy. Remember my name. Remember it always. "
Under the pale blue moon, I knew I had found somebody that had a connection with the 'person' I was looking for throughout the years. Unfortunately, I couldn't possibly look for him immediately. The boy in front of me wasn't even dead yet, but I got the feeling that he will. Soon enough.
I look back at the boy. His eyes showed fear. He was trembling. The pitiful innocent look that made me remembered my darkest memories. I walked closer to him. Am I being a little 'evil'? I guess not. He saw me kill and now I want to help him die.
" Don't worry, I'll give you a souvenir to remember me by.."
That night, I cursed and murdered him. After three years, he'll come back. I'm sure he will. I licked my bloody fingers and crossed them. This idea of nightmare..

Time passes by quickly. It has been awhile since I've become a doctor in this countryside. Day in and day out, I received many patients. Both old and young. Everytime I treated them, an air of sympathy fills me. Why? Why all the hard work just to live? Isn't it obvious that even if you try so hard, if it is time to die, you will die. There is no was to stop fate.
"Accept the truth, Muraki," Those words from my only friend, Oriya. Yes, Saki is dead. Unfortunately, I want to revive him not because I care. It's revenge. Try to understand!
The clock tower stroke eleventh times. The time has come. I walk slowly towards the large church on the hill. As I entered it, I felt a sense of tranquility. It has been such a long time since I prayed. Awkward isn't it? An evil person like me praying.
"Hei, Hei, excuse me mister?"
I knew it. He will come here. "Yes, can I help you?"
" I'm Tsuzuki Asato. Are you Mr. Hisoka Kurosaki?" Tsuzuki looked at me with hoping eyes.
"Unfortunately Mr. Tsuzuki, I am not the person you are looking for. My name is Kazutaka Muraki. You are new here, are you not?" I smiled as I offered him a tour around the town. I took the opportunity to know more about him.
Tzuzuki has the same look, the same appearance as he was decades ago. Nothing changes. He is dead. I know. "More coffee?"
But, he does eat a lot. Soon, it was already late and I told him to leave and search for his partner. I followed him from behind. I needed a plan to get him. Maria.. Yes, Maria. They were here to investigate the weird vampire story.
Days ago, a rather old woman, visited me. She came to me with her sickly dying daughter. Unfortunately, I could do nothing more to heal her daughter's mysterious sickness. She died. The old woman couldn't accept the truth of course. Maria was like a treasure mine to her. Every time she sings, she would bring riches. Therefore the woman begged and was willing to do anything if I could find a way to bring her daughter back to life. Such people!
I held up my favorite porcelain doll. The doll was a remembrance of my past. A nostalgic way of remembering nightmares, I guess.
"Maria Wong. My lovely puppet. Tonight. tonight you will go to the house by the river and wait for me there.." I eyed the 26 years old singer in front of me. An air of hesitation shone on her pale skin. I knew she understood me but a sense of guilt surrounds her. Sympathy? Why should I feel sympathy for her. Nobody even cared to stop mother from torturing me. Why should I care. Besides, it wasn't my idea to revive her in the first place.
"Maria, your mother promised me that if I revive you for her, I'll keep you and.." I walked around her, "..you have to do whatever I asked you to do"
"But, this is all wrong.." She backed off. Poor girl. This is what happens if you are surrounded with greed and power.
"Shhh.. Don't you want to live forever? To be able to sing for you fans out there? Now is you opportunity." I slowly caressed her soft skin. I stared deeply into her souless eyes. She is nothing but a walking zombie. I pushed her into coma and hypnotized her again. I didn't even know why did I have to beg from her in the first place. Soon, I watched her walk slowly down the pavement. It's a pity to know that such people still exist in this era. People who exploits, exploits and exploits. Looking at myself in the shattered mirror, all I see is a picture of a hopeless tormented soul. I couldn't do anything to help her. It's just wasn't like me to care.
As the night grew darker, I waited patiently in the churchyard. Everything has gone like planned and Maria was walking closer towards Tsuzuki from behind. I know you are faking your sleep, boy!
Without wasting any time I quickly did a binding spell to keep Tsuzuki in place while Maria finishes her task.
"Tsuzuki!"
A teenaged boy appeared from nowhere and destroyed my plans. This is rather interesting. It seemed that that boy is no other than the same person that I murdered years ago. So, he became a shinigami at last. I looked around to search for Maria.
"Maria, are you alright?" Tsuzuki said as he helped Maria to her feet. I stared silently at her from a far. At last, someone who could put her out of misery. Smiling, I left the small town.
Hisoka. Maybe he can help luring Tsuzuki to me. I'm not about to give up that easily. This is just the beginning.
