Well this has turned into a disappointment. My passion for the story has been lost, I no longer desire to continue writing it... I make Shakespeare proud aren't I? On the real though, this is a discontinued project, I was attempting to rewrite it into something better, but I just... couldn't anymore, I've lost interest in the story, and no matter what I do I always fail to make my OCs have more then being just a background nobody, it seems I don't have the qualities of a writer after all. Anyway, enjoy these old chapters, of a story that will probably never be brought justice, because of its shitty author.

Also the text in the bottom of the story is also old, so don't get too hyped up when reading it.


(Arata POV)

That day... I thought the world ended, everything was collapsing. My friends, I see them disappearing like dust right in front of me. The sun changed into black, I didn't know what to do. But my main focus was to find my cousin.

"J-Just.. Wait.., I'll find you...Hijiri.." I said, as I slowly got up, running like someone was following me with a stick. I kept looking, turning over at every location, to find her... or at least.. Him "HIJIRI! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I screamed my lungs off, Hijiri was all I had left, including Him as well. Even though he isn't related to us, He was like a family to me and Hijiri, then suddenly...

*BOOM*

A huge explosion happened, getting me to turn my head to see it. Flames, There were nothing but flames in the sky for a couple of seconds. And, call me weird, but I saw a figure that resembled a Dragon, just for a second, But then... I thought occurred to me "These two...!" I started running to the place where the explosion happened "THESE TWO BETTER NOT BE THERE!" I shouted, I hoped that the two were not there, yet, Why did I go to the that direction? I don't know.. Something tells me I better head there as soon as possible.

I reached it, it was the center of the town "...What in the world...?" I asked out load as I look around, I was still running, but when I looked in front of me... I slowed my pace with my eyes widen... Then I stopped... And I saw him... My best friend, lying there, Bloody. There was a hole in his stomach, I stood there, with my eyes widened due to shock. After a second or two, I got my senses back and rushed over to Him "YAMIII!" I screamed, worried for my.. no, his life, I grabbed him by his shoulders "YAMI! WAKE UP!" I was shacking him like crazy, but... Nothing, No movement, No twitching, Nothing. He... He was... Dead... before I realized it, I was in tears, pouring like a sink, "No..." I muttered "No... This can't be..." I muttered again, what can I say? My best friend, who was like a brother to me and Hijiri, is here... Dead, I hugged him, as my tears were pouring down his shoulder.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, so loud that the entire neighborhood could hear me... Who am I kidding? Nobody can hear me, everyone is Dea-

*Gag*

"Huh?" My thoughts were cut off, when I unhugged Yami and looked at him, He was coughing a lot of blood, to the point where he looked like he was throwing up. It's bad, REALLY Bad, but you know what this means? HE IS ALIVE!

"YAMI! Speak to me Buddy! Speak to me!" after I said that, Yami slowly opened his left eye.

"Ara...ta?.." Yami slowly spoke, a big smile formed on my face. Even though tears were still pouring down my face, it doesn't matter, My Friend is alive, and that's all that matters.

"Thank god! You're alive!" I said, he then slowly looks around.

"What... Happened?" He asked me, I didn't know how to answer that if I'm honest.

"We're in the center of the town. And If I'm honest, I don't know what happened, but everything started collapsing, a lot of people died, an-" I was cut off by a grab on my shoulder by Yami.

"Li..sten. R-Right now, that doesn't... matter.." He then turns his head to his side, pointing at a direction "Sh-She's.. there... hurry and.. help her..."

"She?..." I raised a brow in confusion. But then eyes widen as I came in realization "HIJIRI?!" I raised my voice a bit.

"Y-Yeah.. Go.. to her.. Quic-*GAG*" Yami was then cut off by a cough of blood.

"Yami!" As he stopped coughing, he looked at he with a serious look.

"D-Don't worry about me...H-Hurry and go help Hijiri.."

"WHAT ABOUT YOU?!" I shouted. Yes, I was worried about Hijiri, but that doesn't mean I can't be worried about my best friend now, can I?

"I-I'll be fine.." is what he said, which got me a little pissed.

"DON'T ACT TOUGH! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, AND I WON'T JUST LEAVE YOU HERE AND DIE!" Yami was always a strong person, in fact, he's the strongest person I know. But, even a dumb ass like me can tell that he is suffering more then anybody right now, and acting tough wasn't really his thing, but sometimes he does that to not worry us when something happens to him. For some reason, Yami started to chuckle a bit as he looked at the ground, I raised a brow in confusion "Yami?' I asked, he then looks at me with a weak smirk.

"Are you really... my best friend?" He asked me. I was so confused, but of course I knew the answer to that.

"Duh! We've been friends for 7 years, 7!"

"T-Then you should know... That something... like this.. won't kill me easily..." He said, which got me by surprise. I know, I know something like this can't kill him, but can't a friend be worried Dammit!

"T-That may be true.. But-"

"NO BUTS!" Yami screamed, ended up coughing blood in the process. I was scared for a second, I never seen him this angry before. When he stopped coughing, he looks at me seriously "Arata.. I appreciate your con...cern... B-But, H-Hijiri is more important now... P-Please... Go save her..." Yami then let goes of me and fell on the ground, with his eyes closed.

"Yami?" I put my fingers on his neck, to check if he was alive or not, He had a pulse "Thank god.. Don't scare me like that" I said as I let out a sigh of relief. I gently lay him on the ground, then got up, and looked at the direction Yami pointed at earlier. I then look back at Yami "Just wait, I promise you I'll get Hijiri back, and then come back to you" I then start running at the direction and I thought (Besides, She hasn't confessed to you yet) Yes, Hijiri did love Yami, it's no surprise, Yami has always been with us ever since we were kids. He's the same age as us, helped us out a lot, not to mention, He was really a cool guy, And that's not the reason Hijiri loves him, He's really kind and nice, The best brother anybody can ask for.

After a while, I made it, I found Hijiri lying on the ground, I quickly rush over to her, I then grab her and try to wake her up "Hijiri, Hijiri, HIJIRI!" She then slowly opens both of her eyes.

"..Arata...san?"

I let out a sigh of relief, Not just because she was awake, but because she had no injures on her what so ever "Thank god you're alright" I then get up "C'mon, Yami is over there" I then pointed at a direction "He's badly injured, We gotta help him" Hijiris' Eyes widen in shock.

"Wait.. Yami-kun is alive?" I raise a brow in confusion, Why did she ask that question in the first place?

"Huh?! Of course he's alive, He's not gonna die and leave us behind is he?" I smiled at that last part, Hijiri then looked down, With a... Kinda disappointed look on her face.

"I...See.." She muttered, Which got me confused

"Do you want him to die?!" I asked, She then looked up quickly

"NO!" She raised her voice a bit "It's just..."

"Hijiri?" I asked, Then out of nowhere, Hijiri started to look like what happened to my friends, Dust started to raise little by little from her, My eyes widened in shock, I then grab her shoulders "OI, HIJIRI, WHAT'S WRONG?!" I raised my voice, and then out of nowhere, the place around us started to look, like, how do I describe it, it's all becoming black and closing in on us. Hijiri then grabbed my arm.

"Arata-san, There's no time" I raise a brow in confusion

"No time? What do you mean?" Hijiri then pulls something out from her necklace, It was a small book, That had a silver cross in the middle of it. She then wrapped it around my neck "Hijiri, What's going on?!" Hijiri then moved her face closer to the book.

"Please, Protect Arata-san"

"For the last time, What's going on!?" I screamed, she moved her face closer mine.

"This the last thing I could do"

"Wha-" I was then cut off by a kiss on the cheek, it was Hijiri, my face and hers were bright red. She then takes her lips away from my cheeks.

"I had a lot of fun with you and Yami-kun, That Grimoire will grant you're wish"

"Wha-What do you mean, Hiji-" Half of Hijiris body disappeared, as my eyes widened in shock.

"Please.." Hijiri muttered, I look at her as tears poured down from her eyes

"Huh!?" I said, She holds her hand out

"Don't forget about me"

"HIJIRI!" I went to grab her hand, But she disappeared before I could, I felt horrible pain in my chest, I couldn't save her..

"DAMMIT!" I punch the ground out of anger and frustration, with tears pouring down from my eyes "...Hijiri.." I look around, when suddenly the whole area around me turned black "What in the..." Then I remembered, The Grimoire! or whatever it's called, I hold it by the chain "OI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?! IF YOU CAN, THEN GRANT MY WISH, TURN EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL, NOW!"

The Grimoire then started shining.


(A while earlier, Yamis' POV)

"J-Jeez" Were the only words that came out of my mouth, when I saw what was in front of me. People began to disappear, The sun became black, and the entire town is destroying itself. I was on my way back home from shopping, usually I go back with my 2 friends, Arata and Hijiri...Oh, Sorry, I Didn't introduce myself yet, Have I?

The Name's Yagami Migaku, Call me Yami for short (AN:Details at the end)

"W-What the hell happened? it's like... Humanity is gonna end?" I held my chin, Then i widen my eyes a bit "Wait, If it's gonna end, Then why am I alive? ... Could it be" I look at my right hand "I'm alive because of you?!" All of you are probably confused, You see, I have a silver ring that looks like a dragon in my middle finger, I don't know why, But I feel like I'm alive because of this thing, But after a second or 2, My eyes Widened a bit "THAT'S RIGHT, ARATA AND HIJIRI!" I threw my groceries on the ground along with my school bag, I started running to search for them "Their aura.. It's close by, Hijiri is at least" You may not believe me, But i can sense other people by their aura, Or spiritual energy, Or whatever you wanna call it, I learned it form my sister...Who passed away 8 years ago.

"Hijiri, Her aura is close, But where is Arata?... No.. He can't be, NO HE BETTER NOT BE!" I thought that Arata was gone, I slapped myself as a result to it, Why the hell would I think that about my best friend? I look around me, For my eyes to widen in shock, The building, Houses, hotels, Everything was being destroyed or collapsed "T-The buildings as well? Oi, Oi, Oi, Don't tell me..." I thought came to my head, That I thought was impossible, Well... considering everything that's going on, It can't be wrong "..Not only humanity is gonna end... But earth as well?!" THAT thought crossed my mind, As Hijiri is now closer to me, I charge as Fast as I can to her location.

"Under a highway? Guess she was hiding" I went there, Their was a lot of metal on top of the highway, Which is pretty weird "Why would Hijiri hide in a place like this? The metal could fall at any moment" Arata and Hijiri, These 2 had amazing auras ever since i met them, There was no way i could mistake them for regular people, But why do I feel 2 more auras that are similar to these 2 here?.

"What's the matter, Ilias?" A familiar voice was heard from A distance, I realized who it was, And I ran as fast as possible.

"Hijiri!" I said, i found her, Crouching and... She was talking to a book? It was green book that had a diamond shape in the center, I raise a brow in confusion, As I slowly approached them, Then... I started hearing someone crying, It was defiantly not Hijiri, Since her mouth was shut, Not to be mean of course (This aura, The person crying is... That book? NO WAY!) I decided to stop and listen, Being far away, Of course, So they don't notice me, I do sense another aura, Though I don't know who it belongs to.

"*Sniff* I-I am scared, Hijiri, W-What will happen to us?" The book asked, I think her name was Ilias, Since Hijiri said so

"D-Don't worry, Leave it to me" Hijiri then stood up and had a smile on her face.

"WHOSE THERE?!" Another voice came and caught me by surprise, Looks like someone knows i'm here, But who is it? Hijiri then turned her head around and looked at me with a shocked expression.

"Y-Yami-kun?"

"Y-Yo.. Hijiri" I went over to her, And if I'm honest, I was scared, Not from Hijiri, But from the books, How were they able to talk? Was the first question that popped on my head.

"Why are you here?" She asked me

"To look for you, Duh!" I replied, As i approached her, I then pat her head "You made me worry, I thought you were a goner like everyone else" I had a smile on my face when i said those words, She then blushed, Looking away in the process.

"T-Thank.. you" She muttered, But then I get serious.

"Hijiri, I wanna ask you something"

"What is it?" I then point at her book, The green one to be exact, She then raised a brow in confusion.

"How in the world was this book able to talk?" Hijiris' eyes widened in shock and surprise.

"You can hear us stranger?" The other book said, It was gray with a cross in the middle

"The name's Yami, Not stranger" I replied as I looked at the book

"Heeh... So you're the one, Huh?" The Gray book said, Making me confused

"The one?" I asked

"S-Should we tell him, Hijiri?" The green one talked this time, As Hijiri looked at the book, After a moment of silence, Hijiri sighed, She then looked at me with an expression, I've never seen before, Serious, Now i know i saw her serious before, But not this serious.

"If I tell you the truth, Would you believe me?" Hijiri asked me, Causing me to raise a brow

"Yeah sure, I mean, That's what are friends for, Right?" I replied as sweat trailed down my cheek

"Alright.. All of this, Is the work of magic"

"Magic?"

"Yes, The people disappearing, The buildings collapsing, The black sun, Everything is because of something called The Breakdown Phenomenon" She then looked down a bit "Well.. You might not believe me, bu-"

"So earth isn't getting destroyed?" I spoke up, She looked at with a shocked expression on her face

"You... Believe me?"

"Huh?" I tilted my head "Yeah I do, Why wouldn't I?"

"Heeh, He's a smart one, Unlike that cousin of yours" The gray book said

"T-That's true..." The green book said with a soft voice

(These two know Arata?) I thought

"Anyway.." Hijiri said getting my attention back at her "To answer your question, Earth isn't destroyed YET" The YET part got my eyes widen.

"Yet?! You mean it will be destroyed soon?"

"Unfortunately... Yes" Hijiri said with a kind of sad expression on her face, I then look down..

"I see..." I then look up at her with a serious expression on my face "Is there anyway we can stop this?"

"Huh?" Hijiri said with a confused expression on her face

"Is there anyway we can stop this?" I repeated myself, But then, Hijiri looked down with a sad expression on her face

"Well..." Suddenly, My eyes widen due to shock, I turn around, Hijiri looks at me "W-What's the matter?"

"Someones aura just skyrocketed" Its true, I've never felt such aura before, It feels similar, REALLY Similar.

"...Arata-san"

"Huh!?" I look back at Hijiri, She was clutching on the books and gritted her teeth in anger, After a small moment of silence, My widen due to realization "...Oi, Hijiri... Don't tell me..."

"That's right..." She then lifts up her head and looks at me "All of this, Is the work of Arata-san" I was lost for words, I didn't know what to say, Arata, A dumb idiot But also my best friend and the nicest guy I know, Did all of this?!

"W-Why?!" I said, Causing Hijiri to raise a brow in confusion.

"Why what?" She said

"Why would Arata do this? He won't kill people just for fun, Or destroy the earth... in.. the.. process" My words slowly reached out, As I widened my eyes in realization "Oi... Is he..."

"Exactly, Arata-san... can't control it..." Hijiri said, Causing me to look on the ground and hardening my fist, I then lift my head up and look at Hijiri

"Tell me, Is there any single way we can stop Arata? Or at least stop the Phenomenon or whatever it's called?" I said with a serious tone.

"...Well.." She then looks up at me with a serious look "There is one wa-"

"Why do you even care?!" The gray book cut off Hijiri, Causing Me and the others to turn our attention over to her, Or it, Seriously what is this thing? "You'll soon die anyway, So why bother, huh?" She said, I then look down, With my white hair covering my left eye, I gritted my teeth in anger, And harden both of my hands, The three of them then noticed my right hand with their eyes widen... Well... Only Hijiri's eyes, Cause the books don't have eyes, My ring, Was shining, I didn't noticed.

"...I.." I muttered, They then turn their attention over to me, I look up at them with a serious and determination look on my face "I WANT TO PROTECT THIS WORLD DAMMIT!" I shouted, And then all of the sudden the highway started to collapse, We all look around us.

'UWAAAAAAAHHHHH!" The green book shouted.

"This is bad!" Hijiri exclaimed, I quickly grabbed her wrist

"Anyway! We gotta Get out of here!" I exclaimed as I turned around and started running.

A couple of seconds later, We hear a loud 'thud' Next to us, We all look around with widen eyes, To see, A giant metal piece.

"W-Where did that come from?" Hijiri asked still shocked

"ABOVE!" I shouted as I look up.

"Huh?!" Hijiri did the same, Her eyes were widen due to shock "T-This is bad!" She exclaimed

"No shit!" I exclaimed back as we continued running... But luck didn't seem to be in our side

"UWAH!" Hijiri exclaimed, I quickly turn around, To see her face first on the ground, I rush over to her.

"HIJIRI!" I exclaimed, As i crouched to and grab her "You ok?!" I ask, As she opens her eyes

"Y-Yeah.." She muttered, As she got up, My eyes widen, I then look above, To see metal about to fall on top of us, I grabbed Hijiri by the waist "Heh!?" Hijiri said, Before I jumped backwards, The metal fell and it made a huge thud... But boy this was far from the end, I, for some reason, look above, To see another one about to fall, I throw Hijiri away, She then looks back at me.

"W-What are y-!" Hijiri widened her eyes, To see a metal pierced through my stomach.

"GGGGGAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed, As blood came out of my mouth, Hijiri rushed over to me

"YAMI-KUN!" She raised her voice, As she rushed over to me "Yami-Kun! Yami-Kun!" She said, As she was shacking me, I open my left eye slowly.

"G-Get out of he-here..." I slowly said, As I grab her shoulder.

"W-What are you talking about?! Let's get out of here together!" She exclaimed

"...A-Ara..ta..." It caused Hijiri to raise a brow.

"Huh?"

"..Go.. Stop Arata..." I slowly said

"NO! WHAT ABOUT YO-"

"I'M NOT GONNA DIE!" I shouted, As it got Hijiri a scared for a second "H...Hijiri... Plea..se.. Go.." I said, As my eyes started watering from the pain, Hijiri on the other hand, Started crying.

"... I'll take you with me" Hijiri said, As she was trying to give me a shoulder.

"H-Hijiri.. What are you doing?!" I said with all the power I had left, She then looks at me with a serious look, But her tears are still pouring.

"I'm not letting you die here!" She exclaimed, I then close my eyes and smile

"... I see..." Hijiri smiled when I said that, She looked in front of her.

"Common, Le-" Hijiri was cut off, As I pushed her, She then fell on her knees, She quickly looked back at me "W-What are yo-" She was then cut off, By her eyes widen due to shock, While i stood there with a smile on my face.

"I'm counting on you... See ya" I said with a smirk, Above me, Was nothing but metal, A bunch of them are about to fall on top of me, They fell on me, And I felt terrible.

"YAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" Where the last words i heard, As i was under a lot of metal, And I was slowly passing out.

A minute or two passed... "Hijiri's aura... She's finally leaving huh?" I muttered, I was on my back, Looking up with one eye, Well... I don't see anything, All I see is darkness, The metal is covering me, Hijiri stayed here for a while, I guess she was concerned about me, Won't blame her (... But for real... Arata, That bastard is actually the cause of all of this) That thought quickly crossed my mind, As i should worry about myself a bit now (...Is this gonna be my grave... Is this who i'm gonna die?...) I then held up my right arm, Trying to reach "I-I wan...t.. to li-ve..." I muttered, Then my ring started to shine, Shining red, I didn't notice "I'LL PROTECT EARTH!" I screamed, And then...

Flames, My ring started to produce fire and flames, I felt like my body started to change, And then, BOOM! A big explosion happened.

After that, I don't remember anything, I think i passed out, Until i heard a loud noise of someone I'm familiar with.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I hear

(AN:The same scenario as the beginning, No need to write it again, We left off with Yami passing out)

I believe i passed out again, After Arata left, I don't know how long i was passed out for, But soon, I regained consciousness, I was still feeling awful, My body hurts like hell, I move my left eye, So i can see the situation (It's still the same huh?) I thought to myself, the whole area was still a mess, Everything was actually worse then before, And before i realized it, I came into contact with my Dragon ring, It was silver, And it had a head of the dragon with it's mouth open a bit, The eyes were simply purple, It's arms and legs are small and are sitting on my finger, I try to move my hand closer to my face (I don't know what happened back there, But thanks, So there is really someone inside of this huh?) I thought to myself, And yes, I always sensed auras inside of this ring, Not just one, But around, You won't believe it, 7, Ever since i found this ring, Which was 8 years ago, I always sensed something was inside of it. Something powerful, But through out the years, It did nothing, Until now, I remembered that it made flames, And i felt like my body changed for some reason.

But my thoughts were gone, When i noticed what was going on around me, Everything turned dark, There is nothing, No light, No buildings, Nothing, (...Did Hijiri fail?) I thought to myself (No, She couldn't have failed, If she did, I would be... Stupid... The ring... Is earth gone now?... Am i the only one left?...) those were the questions that ran through my head, I then close my eyes (... I failed my promise, Nee-ch-) (AN:Nee-chan means older sister, Just in case you didn't know)

"OI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" I open my eyes in shocked, And look around me, And I see a dumb ass I'm familiar with in the distance, It was Arata

"ARA-" I was cut off by a cough of blood, I then look back at him, And i recognized something (T-That book, It's the same one Hijiri had...) A smile then formed on my face (... So she did it, huh?) I thought to myself.

"IF YOU CAN, THEN GRANT MY WISH, TURN EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL, NOW!" Arata shouted, The book started to shine, So did my ring, I look at it shocked.

"W-What's the matter?!" I asked, And then, Light, All i saw was light, And then...


(Yami's POV)

"WAH!" I get up, and i look around "... I'm back home?" I was in my bed in my PJ's "... Was that a nightmare?" I asked myself as i put my hand on my head "... No, It can't be" I started to see flashback "The buildings, The black sun, Hijiri and Arata's expressions, The hole in my stomach..." Speaking of which, I check my stomach, To see that it's fine, No blood, Nothing "What's going on?" I ask myself, Then i widen my eyes a bit and look at my right hand to look at my ring "...What the hell did you do back there?" I asked, I wasn't expecting a response, The ring probably didn't do anything, The one who did though, Was probably that book, I got off of my bed, And went to open the window, Everything looked normal, The birds singing, People walking, Normal, I then look up at the sky.

"... It's morning time.." I widen my eyes in shock after a second "W-What the?!" The sun... is black! "H-How?! I thought everything turned back to normal!?" i exclaimed, I then look back at the people "None of them are aware? Or are they ok with it?!" I asked myself, How did no one notice? "Heh" I sigh "Should worry about that later, I'll change, Get ready for school and meet up with those 2..." I said, I then widen my eyes "Arata and Hijiri!" I calm myself down "Don't throw the gun, Their probably ok, If everything's back to normal, Then these two are probably back as well" I said as i took a deep breath, And went ahead and changed.

I took a step outside, And right off the bat, I felt something was off, Mostly, The people, Birds, And plants, All felt different, Their aura at least (It feels much more bigger and stronger then normal) I thought to myself (Something defiantly is off).

I went to the usual spot where I meet Arata and Hijiri, But they weren't their (Did Arata oversleep?) I thought to myself, He would be the kind of guy who would do that, I then sighed, After that I smiled and decided to wait, Until..

"GET AWAY FROM US YOU JERK!" I heard someone shout, It was Arata, I turn around, He wasn't there

"Must be around the corner" I told myself, As I went to the direction where the sound came from.

"You bump into me and then leave?" I reached the place, I found Arata and Hijiri, They were surrounded by 3 men, One of the men said that to Arata.

"I already said sorry" Arata replied with his eyes narrowed and gritted teeth, Hijiri was hiding behind him, The same man then puts his hand on Arata's shoulder,

"I see, Sorry about that bro" The man said, He then let goes of Arata's shoulder, Arata then sighs, But then was cut off by a punch in the gut by the man.

"GAH!" Arata exclaimed as he gagged a bit, He then fell on his knees and was clutching onto his , That got me pissed and Hijiri was scared

"DUMB ASS! DID YOU REALLY THINK I'LL BE COOL WITH YA THAT EASILY?!" The man exclaimed

"Idiot" The other man said

"His IQ must be low!" The third man said.

"Arata-san!" Hijiri said as she was grabbing on onto his shoulder, Worried.

"Heh?" The same man who punched Arata then noticed Hijiri, A creepy smiled then formed on his face "OI, This one is a beauty!" He exclaimed, His two friends did the same, As they made their faces closer to Hijiri's.

Now, I'm pretty sure your all wondering, Why am i not helping? Simple, I want to see what Arata can do, So he can defend himself and not rely on others, Which was me, Don't worry, I'll help eventually.

"Your right, She's a good one" The other man said

"Why don't you come and have a bit of fun with us?" The third man said, Hijiri looked scared, Terrified even, She then shook her head.

"Don't be like that' The first guy said, As he slowly was about to put his filthy hands on her "Come with us an-" I've had it, I grabbed the bastard's shoulder.


"Huh?" The guy turned over to Yami, Yami had a pissed look on his face, The other two turned their attention to Yami, Hijiri couldn't see who was behind them because the first guy was blocking the view "What do ya wa-" The thug was cut off by a punch straight to the face, And was sent flying, He had a tooth knocked out and blood dripping from his nose and mouth, He was knocked out, Hijiri's face lit up with joy and happiness.

"Yami-kun!" She exclaimed happily, The other thugs gritted their teeth in anger and narrowed their eyes.

"YA BASTARD!" The second one aimed a punch from behind, But it missed "H-He disappeared?!" The man exclaimed.

"Down hear" Yami said, He just ducked really fast, Yami then did a sweep kick, Which made the thug fall, Yami then stood up.

"YOU LITTLE!" The third one then pulled out a small knife and rushed at Yami.

"WATCH OUT!" Hijiri exclaimed with worry on her face, As the thug was about to pierce Yami, Yami quickly grabbed his hand.

"Heh?!" The thug exclaimed, Yami then breaks his hand "AAHHHHHHH!" The thug exclaimed, As the knife fell out of his hand, Yami then uppercuts from underneath the thugs chin, The thug then fell on his back, Knocked out with blood dripping from his mouth.

Yami smiles and goes over to Hijiri and pats her head "Sorry I'm late" Yami said, Hijiri just blushed, She then pushed his hand away.

"D-Don't treat me like a child" Hijiri said as she looked away, Yami could only smile

"YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN FOOL!" The thug, Who got sweep kicked, Rushed at Yami, Ready to punch "TAKE TH-" His words were cut off by a punch in the face, But it wasn't from Yami, It was from Arata, Arata then smirked

"HEH, HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT!?" Arata exclaimed, Standing proudly, Yami could only smile at his bravery, Hijiri was happy that he was alright, Yami then went over to Arata and grabbed his shoulder, It got Arata to turn around and Raise a brow.

"Nice one, Dude" Yami said.

"Yami!" Arata said with a smile on his face, But after a second or two, Arata widen his eyes in shock, As he remembers a flashback, From where Yami had a hole pierced through his stomach and was all bloodied up, Arata then grabs Yami by the shoulders, Which caught Yami by surprise "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Arata exclaimed.

"What are you talking about?" Yami asked as he raised a brow.

"H-Huh?" Arata said with a confused expression "D-Don't you remember?" Arata said, Yami knows what he was talking about, But he's not sure "About the Hole that was in your stomach" Both Yami and Hijiri widen their eyes in shock, Yami's eyes turned back to normal, As he did a chop on Arata's head, Which caused him a bit confused.

"Did you have a nightmare or something?" Yami asked, Causing Arata to raise a brow, After a short while, Arata spoke up

"Y-yeah... Probably.." he said as he looked down, He then looks up with a smile on his face and scratches the back of his head "Sorry for the confusion" Arata said, Yami and Hijiri smiled.

"No problem man" Yami said, As he let goes of his hands "Besides, Even if that was true, I wouldn't die from something like that and leave you two behind now, Would I?" Yami said, Causing both Arata and Hijiri to lit up, Yami then turns "Alright then, Let's go or we'll be late" all three of them went to school, They kept chatting and giggling through out the whole thing, Yami was still confused as no one was able to tell that the sun changed color from yellow/orange into black, But that's not the only confusing part, 1st off.

(Arata seems to remember what happened, But not fully, So either A. The Book was able to grant Aratas wish but in exchange he forgets what happened, Or B. This is still a dream, But I highly doubt its the second one, Since all of this feels so real...) Yami thought, 2nd off, Yami then looks at Hijiri with a bit serious look on his face, Hijiri was busy chatting with Arata, So both of them didn't notice (Hijiri's aura, It's completely different, It resembles...!) Yami then widen his eyes in shock (N-No way! I-It's... that green Book! H-How!?) Yami thought, Hijiri (Ilias) then noticed him and had a confused expression her face, She then moved her face closer to his, Without Yami noticing for a second.

"What's the matter? Yami-kun?" Hijiri asked.

"O-Oh.." Yami smiled "N-Nothing.." He said, As he and the other two continued walking, Hijiri (Ilias) was still confused, But part of her thought of something.

(Did he figure me out?) Was her thought.

(How in the world did that book turn into Hijiri?) Yami thought again, After a short while of thinking, He remembered something Hijiri told him.

"All of this, Is the work of magic"

(Is what she said, So maybe...) Yami then looked back at Hijiri (Ilias) She smiled at him and he did the same (The book used magic to turn herself into Hijiri and copy everything she does) Yami then widen his eyes in realization (Wait wait wait, If that's true, Then where is the real Hijiri!? D-DON'T TELL ME... No... She can't be dead, She better not be, But how can I be so sure?) Yami then held his chin and looked deep in thought, Arata noticed this, He then whispered to Hijiri.

"Oi" He whispered, Getting her attention.

"Nani?" She whispers back.

"Is it me? Or is Yami acting strange today?" Both of them then did a quick look at Yami, As he was still holding his chin and was in deep thought, Hijiri (Ilias) then looks back Arata.

"Maybe he's tired" She whispered, Arata raised a bow in confusion.

"Tired? It's not like he gets that easily?" He whispered.

"He's not immortal, Everyone get's tired, You, me, Him, Everyone has tired or lazy day" She whispered back, Arata then looks back at Yami.

"Hmm... Maybe your right.."

Yami was still in deep though, And he only had one idea on how to be sure about Hijiri's safety (I got no choice, The only way i can conform her safety is... I have to ask her.. The green book directly, Both her...) Yami then looks back at Arata (And the gray book, That's invincible, Around Arata's neck) Arata then notices him

"Hm? What's wrong" Yami then breaks out of his thoughts

"O-Oh nothing, Just.. What did you do to get those men's attention?" Yami said, Arata then looks away pissed and then shrugs

"We were walking normally to our meeting spot, And then I just, By some mere coincidence, Bump into that shaved headed asshole by accident, He then pushed me into a wall, And you know the rest" He said pissed, Yami then sighs


(School lunch time, Arata's POV)

School was boring as usual, The teacher, The classes, Everything was boring, The only part where it wasn't boring, Was when you talk to your buddies between classes, Everything was all fun and games... Until lunch time came..

"YOU DUMB BASTARD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

"HUH!? SHUT UP! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"

The first person who screamed was Yami, The second one was yours truly, Fights, Something Yami and I usually get into almost everyday, Most of the time it's for stupid reasons, The fights I'm talking about, Are ones where we end up punching each other, But not like with full strength, Ya get what I mean? Now, I bet your all wondering why we got into a fight now? Food... I'm being serious, You don't mess with Yami's food! It's not like he eats a lot, He's not Goku is what I'm saying, But he needs his food, So what happened was... We always sit next to each other and wait for Hijiri so we can go and hang out at the roof, We always do this, But now... I kinda missed up, But I'm not one to blame for Ok? So what happened was... I accidentally pushed his bento into the ground, And it was all ruined, Everyone then stopped, and slowly stared at Yami, His eyes were shadowed, I just looked at him with a confused expression.

"Oi, Yami?" I asked, After a second or two, He slowly turned to me, He was narrowing his eyes and was angry (Ohh boy...) I thought to myself, He then grabs me by the chest, Getting up from the chair and raising me up with him.

"YOU DUMB BASTARD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" Yami shouted, While gritting his teeth

"HUH!? SHUT UP! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" I shouted back While doing the same thing.

"ACCIDENT!? HOW CAN YOU PUSH SOMETHING OFF A DESK A BIT HEAVY OUT THAT EASILY AND CALLED IT A ACCIDENT?!" Yami shouted.

"Oh... It's starting!" A boy announced

"These two again..." A girl muttered.

"Who do you wanna bet on?" Another student said

"Not gonna lie, Yami will win, How many times has he kicked Arata's ass?"

"The score is currently 219 - 74 to Yami" A geek announced

"I'ma bet on Arata! A man gotta show another man that he got the guts!" A bodybuilder student announced, And thanks for that Btw.

And before we know it, BAM! I got punched in the stomach by Yami (Damn that hurt!) I thought to myself, As a bit of spit got out of my mouth, I then gritted my teeth in frustration.

"You bastard!" I shouted and then kicked him in the face, He quickly looks back at me with a bit of blood dripping from his mouth, I raised a brow in confusion (How in the world was I able to hit him so hard that he had blood dripping?) I then smirk and look at him "DID YOU GET WEAKER YAMI!?" I shouted at him, He then smirked back.

"No" He said, And quickly rushed over to me "YOU JUST GOT STRONGER!" He exclaimed, And aimed a uppercut underneath my chin, I tried to block it, But luck didn't seem to be on my side, As I got hit and was sent a bit distance away form him, As i slowly got up, And looked in front of me, To see that Yami was approaching me "I guess i should praise you for getting stronger" Yami said, I then got up and got into a fighting stance.

"Heh, Don't underestimate me! This time i'll win!" I said with a smirk and determination on my face, For a single second, Yami widened his eyes in shock (Is he scared to me...?) I thought to myself, Yami then closed his eyes and chuckled a bit, Which caused my brow to be raised, He then opened them and gave me a smirk.

"Interesting.." He said, He then got into his fighting stance "Don't hold back and come at me!" When he said that, Everyone then went silence, Even i did, What the hell did he just say? "... No homo" He said (AN: Soo sorry, I just did some cringe, Forgive me, I wouldn't do it again I promise) Everyone then started cheering again and I smirked.

(No way, He can't be scared from me) I thought, It's true, I look up to Yami, He's my best friend and a brother figure to me, He also taught me how to fight and defend myself, But not much, Since he was a lot stronger then me and his training was hard, He started teaching me when i was 12, But after 3 months i told him to stop, I quit basically, Cause it really was hard, But thanks to him, I was able to defend myself and fight off bullies... And fight him as well, But I know for sure, That he can never be scared from me, Or anyone, And Me and Hijiri aren't scared from him either, But still... Was I just imagining things?... Yeah, Probably.

As we were both about to dock it out. "STOP IT YOU TWO!" Someone exclaimed, Getting our attention "Do you two always have to fight?" It was Hijiri, She was mad at us, And i could tell, She had the expression she does every time when we both fight.

"Hijiri? When did you arrive?" Yami asked while sweat trailed down his cheek.

"Just a second ago, And can someone tell me Why I'm not surprised that you two are fighting?" She replied

"Look! It's Yami's Bride!" Someone announced, Causing Yami and Hijiri to blush.

"W-What are you talking about?!" Hijiri exclaimed

"T-That's right, She aint my Bride!" Yami exclaimed

(Those guys...) I thought then sighed "Alright, That's enough" I announced, Getting everybody's attention "Leave my friends alone" I said, All three of us then stepped outside "Common, Let's head to the roof"

"Gee, That's a savior, Thanks man" Yami said, I look back at him at a smile.

"Heh, You owe me one" I said, He sighs

"Yeah yeah whatever" He said, While Hijiri still looked embarrassed from earlier.

(These two really are good for each other)

"By the way" Hijiri said, Getting our attention, She wasn't blushing anymore "Why did you two get into a fight again?"

"He threw the bento you made for me onto the ground" Yami said while his eyes were closed, I was pissed a bit.

"Ehhh... I worked so hard on that though..." She said

"Like i said, It was an accident" I said

"Meanie..." Hijiri said with a puffed face, And, To my surprise, Yami began to pat her head, Getting her attention.

"Well, It's alright, Sorry that it wasted" He said with a smile on his face, Hijiri blushed again, After a sec or two, She looked away and moved his hand away.

"I-I told you stop treating me like a kid" Both me and Yami then began to laugh.

We reached the roof, We always hanged out here, It's really fun if I'm honest. "Uhhh... I'm hungry...' I said, As i was holding onto my stomach "That fight was something... It got me hungry"

"Yeah, It got me hungry as well" Yami said

"Yosh! Lets eat!" I said, As i was about to sit down, But then "UH!" I felt pain in my neck, And then, I started to lose consciousness, I was blacking out...


(Roof, Yami's POV)

"Yosh! Lets eat!" Arata announced.

(Sorry) I thought, As I quickly went behind him, And did a neck chop "UH!" Arata exclaimed, Before he passed out, I grabbed him by his shirt so he doesn't fall face first.

"W-What are you doing? Yami-kun?" Hijiri (Ilias) Said, I look back at her, After I laid Arata on the ground.

"Quit the acting" I said with a serious tone, Hijiri (Ilias) Was confused.

"W-What do you mean?" She asks.

"You know exactly what I mean" I then smirk "Green Book-San" I replied, Causing the one disguised as Hijiri to widen her eyes in shock.

"G-Green book? What are yo-"

"You can change your appearance, But you can never change your Aura" I said with determination on my face, After a while, 'Hijiri' Looks down.

"... I see..." She then looks up at me "Hijiri did say that your one to be careful around" Her voice started to change, A bit but not too much, She then turned into what seems green light, I had to cover my eyes 'cause of how bright it was, After a second or two, The light stopped, And appeared before me, A girl who seems younger then all of us by a bit, She has long light green hair that's held by dark cloth hairband, She has a dark ling-sleeved mini dress with a cape collar that has white hems and tied together with a red ribbon, She also has black thigh socks and brown shoes, She then opened her eyes, They were pinkish-purple eyes "This is what my human form is like, I guess you've already seen my true form already" She says with a soft voice.

"By true form, You mean the book right?" I said, She then nods

"Yeah, My name is Ilias Fragment, I'm a Grimoire, The one you a call a book" She says to me, I wasn't really that surprised if I'm honest with you

"I see... Wait, you said the one I call a book, Does that mean not all Grimoires look the same?" I asked her

"Correct, It doesn't necessarily have to book, It can be anything" i then held my chin

"I see, Interesting..." Which got Ilias to tilt her head, I then noticed her "Nani?" I ask, She then asks

"Why aren't you surprised?"

"Huh?" She then gets closer to me, Which caused to have sweat trail down my cheek

"Why aren't you surprised? Usually if someone saw something like this, They should go like 'NO WAY"' She then started to mimic some stuff "'THIS HAS TO BE A DREAM' or 'MAGIC DOESN'T EXIST' stuff like that you know? Yet why aren't you surprised?" I then look down, With a sad expression on my face, She raised a brow then come closer to me "Yami-san?" She asked, But i ignored, As i started to have flashbacks of Nee-chan.

"RUN YAMI! LIVE!"

Those were the last words i heard from her before she got... "Yami-san!" Ilias raised her voice, As I look up, Her face was in front of me, Which got me by surprise, As I backed off a bit

"O-Oh, Sorry... I just spaced out for a second" I said as i scratched the back of my head.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Y-Yeah, And to answer your question, How can i be surprised? Considering all the shit that happened recently, Anything that happens now won't be surprising if I'm honest, Like if you told me something like 'I'm a legendary Grimoire' I won't be surprised" She then widen her eyes in shock and surprise.

"Amazing!" She said, I then notice her.

"Nani?" She then lit up with happiness

"Your right! I am a legendary Grimoire! How did you know?"

...

...

"... Heh?" (I WAS RIGHT?!)

"Can you read minds!? How did you do that?!" She said, As she closed her face to mine, Sweat trailed down my cheek

"N-No.. I just guessed, Really" I said, She then holds back

"I see, Sorry, I got bit excited back there" She said as she scratched the back of her neck, I giggle a bit, But then got serious a bit again.

"Alright, Let's be real" I said, She then got serious as well.

"You got a lot of questions surrounding your head right now, Right?" She asked, I then nod.

"That's right, Ilias-san"

"I knew it, Go ahead, Ask away" She said

"Alright, But before that-" I look back at Arata, Ilias raised a brow in confusion "Why don't you come out and join in? Gray Grimoire-san?" I asked, As Ilias widen her eyes in surprise, Arata's neck then began to shine white light, As the Gray Boo- Excuse me, Gray Grimoire appeared.

"Interesting, I'm pretty sure I hid my aura so you can't find me, Yet how were you able to do it?" She asked me, I then help 2 fingers.

"2 Reasons, First off, It doesn't matter if you're able to hide you aura or not, Arata had a sudden boost in his aura, But it wasn't his, it was something else, At first, I thought it was the side effect from the wish he granted, After we fought those thugs, He was able to knock someone out with just one punch, And I know for a fact that Arata Can't knock someone out, Yet he was able to do it in just one punch, I got curious so I checked his Aura again, It turns out that your aura appeared around his neck, And I can never forget anyone's aura... Besides the ones that are gone"

"I see, What's the 2nd reason?"

"In our fight, For a moment, Just for a single moment, You showed up around Arata's neck then disappeared"

"Gah..." She said, I guess she was shocked "Jee, I need to be careful around you? Don't I?" She said

"It's not like I'm gonna hurt you or anything, Miss...?" I didn't get her name, She then sighs.

"Well, Since you've already seen me, i guess it won't hurt to tell you my name, Astil Manuscript, That's my name, Nice meeting ya, Yagami"

"Nice to meet you as well, Astil-San, And please call me Yami" I said.

"Got it, Yami" I smiled, But then i got serious

"Alright then, Can I ask?" I said

"Go ahead, Were not stopping you" Astil-san said

"Yosh, First off, Is Hijiri alright?" I asked, After that, It was a small moment of silence.

"Well..." Astil-san said

"She's alright" I turn around, And it was Ilias-san

"Really?" I asked, She then nodded

"Yes, She's alright, But we don't know where she is..." She looked down at the last part "Sorry..." She muttered, I then went over to her and pat her head, Which caught her by surprise "Yami-san?" She asks with a confused expression on her face, I just smiled

"Don't blame yourself, As long she's alright, Then there's no one to blame for, Right?" After I said that, She blushed a bit, She then nodded a bit.

"T-Thank you..." She muttered.

"No need" I said, I then turned back at Astil-san and got serious again "Astil-san"

"Nani?"

"... Are we living in a fake world?" I said

"What makes you say that?" She responded, I then scratched the back of my neck.

"How do I say this... Everything... Feels off.. I guess?"

"Off how?"

"... The auras"

"Auras?" She questions

"Yeah, The people, The birds, Plants, Everything has somewhat different aura then normal, Not to mention" I look up at the sky "The sun is black, Like it was with the Breakdown Phenomenon thing that Hijiri talked about" After a small while, Astil-san then sighs

"Nothing gets past you, Does it?" She says "You're not wrong, But your not right either"

"Huh?" That got me confused, But then she started shining, I had to cover my eyes, After a couple seconds, She stopped shining, As I remove my arm, Only for my eyes to widen a bit due to shock.

"Oh my god" I muttered a bit, If you want to me to describe what I'm seeing in one word, It's... Destruction, Literally, Nothing but pure Destruction, Everything is destroyed, Demolished, People are gone.

"You see this?" Astil-san said, Getting my attention "All of things you saw through out this morning up until now, Was just an illusion i made"

"You made this?" I said with a raised brow

"Astil Manuscript is a legendary Grimoire like me" Ilias-san said, While i was turning around over to her, I then sigh.

"I'm guessing the 'wrong' part is that i thought it was a fake world, right? Astil-san?" I asked as i turn over to her

"Got that right, But, Not all of the world is like this, Only this town is destroyed" After she said that, I looked down with a sad expression.

"... I see..." I muttered, Ilias-san was now standing next to me without me noticing at first, She then puts her hand on my shoulder, Getting my attention, She was smiling and I was confused "Ilias-san?" I asked confused.

"Yami-san, Back when you met us, You said something about protecting earth, Why is that? Can you answer us?" She asked me, I was confused by the question.

"I'm also interested" Astil-san said, Getting my attention, After a second or two, I look at them.

"Well.. You see, I made a promise"

"Promise?" Ilias-san said with a raised brow, I then look at her with a smile and nod

"Yeah, To my Nee-chan" I said

"Nee-chan?" Astil-san said

"Yeah, To protect this world and make it a better place for everyone, I know it might be stupid, But i loved my sister, And i want to make that promise come true" Astil-san and Ilias-san were kinda surprised at my determination.

"Heeh? So where is that Nee-chan of yours?" Astil-san asked me, I then went silent, And i looked at the ground.

"..Yami-san?" Ilias-san asked, I was still silent and had a sad expression on my face.

"O-Oh... Sorry, I didn't know" Astil-san said, Seems she figured it out, Ilias-san still confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked Astil-san

"She's dead" I said with a sad tone, Ilias-san then widen her eyes in shock.

"S-Sorry, Yami-san..." She said in realization, I then lift up my head and have a smile on my face and pat her head.

"It's alright, Don't worry about it, Besides-" I was still patting her head, It felt good for some reason "I never knew Hijiri had such amazing stuff, By the way" I let go of Ilias-san's head" What's you're relationship with Hijiri?" I asked both of them.

"She was our master" Ilias-san said

"Master?" I asked

"Yeah" Astil-san now said, Got me to turn over to her "Hijiri was a Magus"

"Magus?"

"They are people who have the ability to use magic" Ilias-san continued, Now standing next to me.

"Hijiri did mention that the thing Arata did was Magic, So does that make him a Magus?"

"Probably, But since he can't control his magic, He can't be considered one" Astil-san answered my question

"I see... So what is Arata anyway?" I asked

"A Demon Lord Candidate" Astil-san answered

"Demon Lord Candidate?" I asked with a raised brow, Ilias-san nods

"Yes, They are ones who have the power to destroy the world" She said, Which caught me by surprise.

"You serious?" I then turn over to Arata, Who was still unconscious "This guy has to destroy earth? Sounds unbelievable" I said with a silly smile.

"True, And I have a dumb Master now" Astil-san said, Causing me to turn over to her with a confused expression.

"New master?...!" I then widen my eyes in realization "No way... He's your new master now?" I said

"Correct, And he still can't seem to remember anything" Astil-san then sighs

"I see now... Wait, if Astil-san has a master now" I turn over to Ilias-san "Then what about you?" I asked her.

'I-I don't have one.. H-Hijiri was my previous master, And she asked me to take care of Arata-san while she's away"

"Hmm, I see" A idea then popped in my head "Then, I'll take care of you" Ilias-san then widen her eyes a bit, She then looks at the ground.

"I-I would love that.. But sorry, I can't"

"Why?" I asked with a raised brow.

"We're not allowed to" Astil-san said, Causing me to turn over to her.

"Orders from Hijiri?" I asked

"No, We can't work for another king" THAT got me by surprise.

"Another King? Does that mean I'm also a Demon Lord Candidate?" I said as I point at myself

"N-Not a Demon Lord.." Ilias-san said, This is getting even more confused now.

"Ok I'm getting confused, Can one of you explain what am I?" I asked, It was then a small moment of silence, Until Astil-san spoke up.

"Fuck it, We told everything, So why not?" She said, I then turn over to her "True, You are a King Candidate, But not The Magic one"

"So what am I?"

"... A Dragon King" She said, It caught me by shock and surprise.

"D-Dragon King?" I questioned

"Yeah, There is no single Grimoire that can be given to the Dragon King" She said "The Dragon King is someone whose destiny and Goal, Is to Protect earth from every single threat, It doesn't matter who it is or what it is, They must protect it" After she said that, I held my chin, After a second or two, I began to speak up.

"I see, So that's why Ilias-san can't be my partner" I said, I then look up at Astil-san when A question popped in my head "Wait, If I'm suppose to protect earth, Then how Am i suppose to do it without any powers...!" I then widen my eyes in realization, And look at my right hand, At my Ring "D-Don't tell me!..."

"That's right" Astil-san spoke up "That ring grants you the power to do so, It also proves that your the Dragon King" I was shocked at what she told me, It felt like I was dreaming when i heard all of this, But of course, It wasn't, I stared at the ring for, Quiet a while now, Since Astil-san Said all those things, Like How I'm a Dragon king and i'm destined to protect earth, Which was something i wanted to do ever since I promised Nee-chan, But it looks like it can be done, With this Ring.

"But, I'm surprised Actually" Astil-san said, Getting my attention.

"Surprised at what?"

"That a human was chosen by the Dragon ring" Astil-san said, Which should cause ME to be surprised.

"H-human?" I questioned

"We don't know much about the Dragon king-" Ilias-san said, Causing me to turn over to her "But we know for sure, That there was no human in history, That was chosen by the Dragon ring, Usually it's creatures, Supernatural beings, Ect.."

"The Dragon ring, Is serious when it comes to choosing it's master, Means you must be something special if it chose you, Yami" Astil-san said, I then looked back at my Ring.

(So yesterday, Those flames were actually from you, I owe you a lot) I thought, I then look back up at Astil-san "How do i use it?"

"Don't ask us, We only serve Magus, We have no clue how to activate that complicated thing" She said, Receiving a sigh from me.

"I see, It's not like there's anything you can do about it" I then look up, And there was nothing but silence, I had no more questions, Beside 1 "So?" I got there attention "What will happen now?" Again, There was nothing but silence, Maybe they had no idea Either, I understand There's nothing we can do.

"I don't know..." Ilias-san muttered

"I don't either" Astil-san said "I guess we could just wait, Until something interesting happens"

"I guess so, But-" I then look at Arata, Who was about to wake up any second now "As long it's not Arata's Breakdown Phenomenon-" Ilias-san and Astil-san began to shine, To turn back how things looked like this morning "Then were clear" Everything turned back the way it was earlier, Ilias-san turned into Hijiri again, Astil-san Magic made the town turned back to normal and made herself invincible, And Arata was slowly getting up.

"Ow..." Arata mumbled, As he was scratching the back of his neck, He then opened his eyes "Wh-What the hell happened?" He asked, Hijiri (Ilias-san) and I smiled and act normal.

"You slept dude" I said, He then looked confused.

"Slept? I had a nice sleep last night, So how...?" He questioned

"Maybe you were tired" Hijiri (Ilias-san) said with a cheerful voice.

"But i didn't feel tired at all today" He said

"Maybe i punched you that hard that you had to sleep" I said

"HEY!" He exclaims, After a short while, We all laughed

(Well, For now, All we have to do is act normal and have fun, Because I know for a fact, That these fun days won't last for long)


(Night time)

Arata was sleeping in his bed, While Hijiri (Ilias) comes into his room.

"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Astil appeared around Aratas neck, She said that to Ilias, Ilia had a confused expression on her face

"Good idea? About what?" Ilia said with her real voice

"That you lied about not having a master" Ilia then looks at her with a small smile

"Well, Hijiri said that we should be careful around Yami-san, And we should lie about her being gone"

"Yeah, Your right, But, If he wasn't the Dragon king, Would you let him be your Master?" Astil asked, Ilia then blushed a bit.

"Y-Yeah... Probably..." Ilia mutters a bit at the last part, She then looks up at Astil "By the way-" She said unblushing, Getting the attention of Astil.

"Hm? Nani?"

"Did YOU think it was a good idea? To not tell him the the other Goal? That a Dragon King suppose to do?" Astil then went quiet for a small while.

"... I don't know... Maybe I didn't have the heart to tell him... That his 2nd goal, Is to Kill the Demon Lord"


(Unknown Office)

A man, Who looks like in his late 20s, Was sitting in office, He had Long white hair that's tied into a ponytail style, He was also wearing glasses, In front of him, Were Five high school girls.

"Thank you all for gathering here" The man announced

"It's no problem, Headmaster" A girl with long red hair that reaches her waist replied, She was also wearing a Dark beret.

"This better be important" A girl with blonde hair said

"Oh it is" The man said, As he pulled out a picture of a destroyed town, As all 5 of the girls make their faces closer to the photo.

"What a horrible sight" A girl with short light blue-gray hair said

"It seems this town was attacked or something" A girl with long black hair said

"Yesterday, This town suffered the breakdown Phenomenon" The man said, Causing the girls to widen their eyes in shock at that part.

"THE BREAKDOWN PHENOMENON!?" The red haired girl exclaimed

"Then a Demon Lord Candidate is in that area?" The last girl questioned, She had brown hair ponytail style, Her bangs are covering her right eye.

"Exactly" The man said "But apparently, The town is back to normal, But it's impossible for that to happen overnight, Correct?" The man asked, The girls nodded "So it's probably the work of a legendary Grimoire"

"Legendary Grimoire?" The blonde haired girl asked with a raised brow.

"Yes"

"Headmaster, Is there any idea on who this Demon Lord Candidate may be?" The red haired girl asked.

"Indeed there is" The man then pulls out another photo, It was a picture of Arata.

"This kid?" The long black haired girl questioned, The headmaster nodded

"Yes, His name is Kasuga Arata, And Lilith-Chan" The man turns over to the red haired girl, Whose name appeared to be Lilith

"Hai?" She respond

"2 days from now, I want you to go to this town and investigate this individual"

"2 days? Why not now?" Lilith said with a raised brow.

"1st off, It's night time, And secondly, Were gonna see if he'll do anything suspicious, If he does, We'll send you right away and you'll have permission to kill him" After a second or two, Lilith closes her eyes.

"Understood"

"Is this all? Then were leaving" The arrogant Blonde haired girl said as she was about to leave "Let's go, Akio" She said to the long black haired girl.

"Yeah Yeah, Leader" Akio said as both of them about to leave.

"I'm not finished" The headmaster said, Getting their attention

"Nani?" The blonde haired girl questioned

"Look at this" The two then came closer to the desk, The headmaster pulled out another photo, This one, Had explosion and flames.

"It's just a picture of an explosion from that same city, What's so special about it?" The pony tailed girl questioned

"Look closely inside of those flames" The headmaster pointed at the flames, Everyone looked closer, To see a pair of Golden eyes and Dragon figure that was hard to spot, The Gray-light blue haired girl then widened her eyes in realization.

"The Fire Dragon Pyralis!?" She exclaimed, Causing everyone but the headmaster to widen their eyes.

"Nani!?" Akio exclaimed

"H-How? Pyralis is sealed inside of the Dragon ri-" The blonde haired said, But then widen her eyes in realization "Don't tell me!"

"The Dragon King" The headmaster answered her

"So he was there huh?" The pony tailed girl asked, The headmaster nodded

"Yes, But he appeared for just a single moment then turned back to normal"

"We could use this to our advantage" Lilith said, Getting everyone's attention "The Dragon King can help us take care of the Demon Lord, And if we take him in, It'll be even better"

"But he or she might not know that their kings or have abilities" The light blue-Gray haired girl said "And the fact that he or she appeared just for a single moment, Meaning that their powers are slowly awakening, If they knew who they are and had control over their powers, Then they would've taken care of the Demon Lord from the beginning" She said

"I see, That may be true, But if we took him in, We could teach him, Right everyone?" She looked at everyone else at the last part.

"True, With the Dragon King on our side, Earth would be saved" The blonde said while holding her chin

"Plus, Adding him to help us beat the Demon Lord up would be a lot easier" Akio said

"I'm afraid that it will be a lot harder then you all think" The Headmaster said, Causing everyone to raise a brow a bit.

"Is he dead?" The light blue-gray haired girl said, Caused the Headmaster to shack his head.

"No, He's not, The problem is, The Dragon King is a really close friend to Kasuga Arata" He said the news, Which caused everyone to widen their eyes a bit due to disappointment.

"Shoot..." The pony tailed girl said, As she gritted her teeth a bit

"How bad luck..." The gray haired girl muttered

"Headmaster' Lilith said, As she also had a disappointment expression

"Nani?"

"Do you have any photos on who he might be as well?" She asked

"Are you still planning on enrolling him into our school?" The headmaster said, She then nodded

"Yes, I'll try to convince him to join us if I find him" She said, The headmaster then hummed.

"Alright then" He pulls out another photo, And puts it on the table, After he did, One of the 5 girls widen their eyes in complete utter shock "His name is Yagami Migaku"

"I see..." The blonde haired girl said "He doesn't look much, But he does have the Dragon ring, But it's surprising, That a human was actually chosen by the Dragon ring... Huh?" The blonde then noticed one of the girls, Have a complete shock expression on her face, The blonde then goes over to her "Oi, What's the matter?" She asks, The girl just kept looking at the photo with her face still shocked, After a small while, She mutters

"... Mi... gaku..." She mutters, Causing the blonde and everyone else but the headmaster to be confused.

"Yami?" The blonde says.

"I knew it" The headmaster says, Causing everyone but the shocked girl to turn over to him, While the headmaster looked at the shocked girl "He's your brother, Isn't he?" He said, Causing everyone to widen their eyes in shock and surprise.

"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" The 4 girls exclaimed

'B-Brother?" The blonde says, The shocked girl then formed a smile and tears began to pour from her eyes.

"..Yeah... Thank God..."

Prologue End


Hope you'll enjoyed this prologue, Tell me your thoughts.

I just wanna get this out of here real quick, Yami And Arata have nothing between each other, They just have really amazing bromance, Plus, if Arata was Gay, it would not be Trinity Seven.

So? What did you think of the idea? That One of the trinity sevens is Yamis sister, Who she is, You might ask?, Well I'd like to keep it a secret for now.

Here's Yami's Profile

Name:Yagami Migaku (Take the Ya from Yagami and the Mi from Migaku, Combine them, They make Yami)

Age:17

Height:Average

Hair color/Style: He has white hair with a long fringe undercut haircut on the left side that reaches his neck, completely covering almost the left side of his face. While the right side of his head is completely shaved and is colored black, He also has a single kinda big bang leaning on the right side of his head, Covering a bit of his right eye.

Eye color:Violet

Gender:Male

Mother (Deceased)
Sister (Alive)

Affiliations

Kasuga Arata (Best friend)
Kasuga Hijiri (Crush)

Appearance: Yami has a lean body build, He has white hair with a long fringe undercut haircut, Usually he wears normal school clothes, But he always rolls up both his sleeves to his shoulder. (An:If you want to have a better look at him, Check my twitter in my profile bio, Or go to UFortuneteller on twitter)

Personality: Yami looks like a delinquent, But he's not, He's a really nice guy and a nice/strong fighter, He helped his friends every time they need him, He's really smart as he is able to tell a lot of differences of something or can tell something is bothering someone, He can sense aura's (An:I'm not good with personality writing, So sorry)

Also, I have a small problem... Parings, Now of course Arata will get most of the girls, But i want to Yami to at least 2 girls, I have them in mind, But on of them is his sister, Insect anyone? That's kinda messed up now that i think about it, I'll try find another one... Hopefully.

I probably should explain some stuff about the Dragon King, The Dragon king doesn't have any sort of Magic inside of him, He can learn, But it will be difficult if he really wants to learn, His only source of power is the Dragon ring, The Dragon ring has 7 Dragons inside of it, Right now, I'll tell you that he has Pyralis, The Fire dragon (An:Also, All the dragons are females, They have human forms) He can never ever wield a Grimoire, He can only use his dragons power, I'll explain more in the Next chapter.

That's all for today, Leave a fav/follow, And a review (If you like, Of course, I'm not ordering you) SEE YA NEXT TIME!
