Jai took her watch while everyone was still in the room. She warily watched over the girl who attacked her so viciously. The other
girl had said something while they were fighting but she couldn't remember what she said. Night came and soon everyone drifted his or
her separate ways. Some went to bed others just sat around waiting for something to happen. Others didn't know what to do. In Jai's
case she sat in the shadows and watched the other occupant. She had always preferred the darkness to light. She never knew the true
meaning of the darkness in her heart, the strange tattoo of a dragon on her right arm, which she kept hidden by a bandage, nor the
reason why she was so strong. She had never known her parents and didn't have any siblings as far as she knew. She was alone in the
world the same as she was alone in the room. But suddenly the hair on the back of her neck began to stand up. A cold wind rushed
through the room and the candles flickered casting evil shadows on the wall. Someone had entered the room, someone who was just as
dark as night. Clad in a billowing cloak and a hooded face, the uninvited visitor turned and looked straight at Jai who was still hidden in
the corner with her halberd in hand. Then from under the hood a velvety voice came
"Peace…I mean you no harm."
Jai cautiously crept from the dark corner into the light. Her halberd shone dangerously in the light making it look covered in blood.
Her black hair fell into her eyes, their shadows from the candlelight making her look more evil than she usual. Glaring at the stranger, Jai
slowly proceeded and got closer to the stranger.
"Who are you?" Jai questioned the ominous figure that stood between her and her halberd.
"I am Lucifer…god of Death… (And fluffy bunnies). Don't worry I am not here to bring you, your friends, nor this girl any harm.
Besides she is my friend. I came when I felt her pain. You don't believe me do you?" the man said from behind the hood.
"Why should I believe you? You say that you are the god of death but what makes you think that I will believe you? I am not one
to easily believe unless I can see it with my own eyes." Jai threatened to the dark figure.
"I noticed. Jai Kala I presume. You lost all your memory, you don't know if you have ever had parents or even siblings. Your
childhood composed of fighting to stay alive, protecting your self, being alone and defending your self. You're the prodigy of a man
being in a woman's body. You are a loner and the only person that you can truly relate to and understand is a young man…Hakel I
believe is his name." Lucifer counted off on his slender fingers, his face still hidden by the black hood. "Yes I can see the darkness in
your heart…the hurt of betrayal, scars, broken heart. Yes bitter crimson tears flow from lifeless eyes and mingle with the endless sand…
bestowing even greater power to the demon inside. Like this girl," he pointed to the sleeping girl, "You are something greater than
everyone else. You are destined to be alone forever." He said in a provocative tone.
"Show me your face. I cannot trust anyone whose face I cannot see. I want to see the person who is searching my soul with out
my permission. Now cast aside the hood before I force it off." Jai growled as she glared at the stranger.
"As you wish. I can see that if you had the chance you would actually fight me and I don't doubt it. But I am the god of death and I
could kill you if I so desired but it is not your time I will take off my hood." A slender hand reached behind and pulled the hood back...
Jai stood as the man pulled his hood off to reveal a handsome face framed with jet-black hair. His face was as pale as death but
looked flush in the candlelight. His eyes shone deep violet and glittered like there was a fire within them. He looked straight at Jai making
her feel like he was looking into her very soul. Jai still kept her eyes on the man before her and she began to believe that he was actually
the god of Death. His gaunt face and pale skin made him look like a walking dead though he was still alive.
"As you see I am not your normal man. So now do you believe that I am who I say I am? If you do trust me, I have something that
you might want; a key to your past, to your memories, to who you are. Do you trust me?" Lucifer said as he looked upon the girl in
front of him.
"I can see that you are the god of Death but how do you know me? And how do you know her? And why do you know about my
memories?" Jai questioned still not completely trusting the man before her. His voice seemed so familiar to her but she couldn't place it.
"The girl," he pointed to the sleeping female. "Her name is Akuma. She is a Changer, an Omega to be exact. She is able to change
her form and her powers at will. Notice the cuffs on her ears? They keep her powers to a minimum. She has the powers of ever demon
and many other powers that have been sealed inside her body. And yes she is immortal" the god said answering the look on Jai's face.
"But she is not alone, there was another Omega that was made through an experiment" he pointed at Jai. "You see long ago many evil
people tested on children to make Omega's so that they would be under the power of evil instead of good. So when they needed
children they would kill of entire villages to get children to experiment on. Cages were filled with children who couldn't fend for
themselves while being captive. Day after day, month after month, children were experimented on and those experiments failed each
time. Finally there was one child left. A child who was female, stronger than any others and was quite different than the other children.
This girl was a half demon with death already in her veins.
"They took that child, though she fought hard, to the dungeon where the experiments were held. She tried to restrain against her
captors but they were too strong. In order for those evil people to make their own Omega… they needed a sacrifice and body to house
they power they desired. So they killed the child right there but a necromancer kept her soul from passing on. They added the power of
ultimate darkness to control the girl's heart, light for her soul, and full death running through her veins. So they sacrificed they strongest
necromancer and filled the child's veins with the blood of the sacrifice. Then the girl soul was released back into her body. But the result
was more than they anticipated. The child gained control over the foreign powers that had been forced into her, and within five minutes
was bathed in blood. That girl was you."
Jai stood in shock at what the ghostly god had told her. There was no way that she could be a demon. It wasn't possible in any
way in her mind. She was I shock that the man who claimed that he was a god was telling her that she was supposedly this demon that
was created through evil and survived. But it didn't explain why she had no memory or anything that happened, who were her family,
nor the thrill of killing all those people. Why? The question rang though her mind. Why me? Can what the tell me be true? She couldn't
remember anything relatively close to what he was talking about. Could it be true?
"I can see your confusion. After all, when that happened you were only a 15-year-old human girl. You tried to kill your self many
times after that day, falling off a cliff, sword through your heart and stomach, drowning, and getting into a fight with a maji and his
dragon." Lucifer counted of each attempt on his fingers. "But each attempt failed. You either healed your self or one of your powers
took over and did the job for you. So you did the only thing that you could do after 100 years of trying to kill you're self. You reverted
to a spirit, a soul, body and all. Then you inhabitant the fetus of a baby that had not received a soul yet. Naturally the fetus was
supposed to be male but your soul changed that enhancing you fighting abilities.
"But ten years before that rebirth, you blocked off all your memories so that you wouldn't have to relive the past when you were
reborn." The god remarked as he dug up a past Jai never knew. "You were reborn as a baby with no powers what so ever because
you locked them away behind a mental blockades deep inside your soul because of the pain that it caused you.
"When you were alive then you were a dark necromancer as your normal form due to the experiment but you could still change
your form at will. Now your form is that of a beautiful reclusive teenaged female. The only reminder of that fateful day long ago was a
scar and a tattoo that has never faded. The tattoo was one of a dragon, I believe, on your right are. It is as black as sin and night with
eyes red as human blood. But that is beside the point when you were reborn you made a new friend with others you thought were just
like you; recluses- alone in the world." The god turned quickly as he heard a noise outside the door.
Jai stood rooted on the spot as the door flew open and Hakel stepped in. His eyes were filled with concern and wonder as he saw
Jai standing still on the verge of collapse and the black haired man. Just as Jai began to fall to the floor, Hakel ran and caught her.
"What happened? Jai are you okay? What did you do to her? Who are you?" questions flew from his mouth as he tried to make
sense of everything.
The god knelt beside Hakel who held the limp form of Jai in his arms. "I told her about her past. I told her what she truly was
and why she had no memories. By the way my name is Lucifer, god of Death (and fluffy bunnies). But I did nothing to harm your
friend."
"I know Lucifer. Don't you remember me? Or has Death finally gotten to your head." Hakel grinned as he looked at the god
before him. "It's been a long time my friend."
"I was wondering when you would come around I mean the whole nice deal isn't you. I like you better when you are the recluse. I
am sorry about the girl. She just collapsed I guess all the information I told her was too much for her to handle. Besides she did just find
out that she was a demon and found out about your sleeping ward." Lucifer commented.
"You told her? You idiot! Oh well." He tenderly brushed a strand of black hair out of Jai's face. "I am glad that you assigned me
to be her friend. She has helped me find out who I really am. I am finally found someone who I truly care about. But does it have to end
now?" the teenager questioned with pain in his voice. He was attached to Jai and the people he called his friends, it was inevitable.
"Does it have to end this way?" His eyes shone with tears…he really didn't want to leave.
The interaction of Lucifer and the young man went back to before he was born. Hakel's mother was a half demon and married a
demon male making him full demon with human emotions, and looks. But his mother didn't want her son to grow up in a world that
hated people who were different…people who were dangerous. So Hakel's mother asked Lucifer to seal up the boys powers until the
right time was upon them. But he powers that were in the boy were so strong that a sacrifice was needed to seal them. So since the
child's father was killed before he was born, his mother said that she would sacrifice her self. So the spell was complete and the boy's
powers were sealed until the time came but he had to grow up alone in the cruel world. So the god of death took the child and raised
him. He taught him to fight for himself and how to heal, cast spells, and fight like a ninja. Lucifer was like a father to the young man.
Ironically Jai was born the same time that Hakel was so it made it even easier for Lucifer to get the two children together to become
friends and band together. While alone one night when Hakel was about twelve Lucifer told him the origin of his birth, his powers and
about Jai. Hakel took the information better then the god had expected and made life easier on everyone. But what the god didn't tell
the child was that the other people he surrounded himself with were also people with certain powers of their own that would sooner
later come in handy. In the time that passed between the friends they all got so close that if one got hurt they all got hurt and right now
Hakel didn't want to lose all his friends because it was time to regain his powers.
"No my child you don't have to leave. I promised you that would never be alone again." Lucifer embraced the teenager before
him. "I promised your mother that you wouldn't be alone when your powers were returned to their rightful place. If you want I can get
Jai to be with you." The teenager before him nodded frantically. "Okay. Let us wait until morning when they awaken Akuma and then
we will wake the dormant powers."
With that Hakel took up the limp form of the friend he so dearly loved and carried her into her room. There he tenderly laid her
down and covered he with blankets. Brushing a lock of hair from her face he bent down and placed a kiss on her cheek. Her eyes
fluttered and came to a stop. He smiled at her and got up to leave. All the while the god stood in the shadows by the door. Little did the
two teenagers know that they were a part of a bigger scheme then they would ever know? "Bitter crimson tears flow from lifeless
eyes and mingle with the sands of time bestowing even more power upon the demon god of time." The words echoed in Lucifer's
mind as he pushed them to the back of his mind. It was too soon. Time flew to fast, and death was coming too soon especially for them.
Well that was chappie three Kidna short but longer ones will be coming soon. Next chappie will tell all about Akuma and a lil more
