Chapter 4- The birth of a legend


"This is not what I was expecting." Is what I say to myself, due to unexpected circumstances, my body size makes it impossible for me to wear the girl's uniform comfortably. So I have to wear a slightly modified boy's uniform, with the vest changed to be as girly as it could be, so I'm not mistaken as a boy, other than that I am wearing a yellow bow, my hair started growing so I put it in a simple ponytail, I also am wearing my wraps underneath due to the uniform being too itchy.

Due to all the complications, I couldn't show for the first actual day of school, I have to introduce myself to the class. I make it straightforward that I'm a girl to which several students say that I'm lying, this really makes me hope that I'm not as flat as a board otherwise I'm going to have to get used to that joke real fast. I go take my seat and almost immediately upon sitting, I feel someone tap my shoulder, I look to see who is tapping me and it's a little girl with light blue eyes, a Pale complexion, and long Pink hair going down past her neck.

"H-Hi I'm Peace Miglow, and could you become my bodyguard?" She asks in a humble, straightforward tone without even asking for my name.

"Andddd, my name is Cortney Tan Jr. Why do you need/ask me to be your bodyguard?" I ask while trying to wrap my head around what I was just asked, I mean I just began elementary school, and in less than five minutes I get asked by some girl to be her bodyguard.

"My mother says I have to find the strongest person I can and have them become my bodyguard." Her tone suddenly shifts from timid to something much more serious and almost scares me out of my chair from the sudden personality shift, I manage to find my balance again and fix myself.

"Hmm, look I'll tell you what, once I meet your mother I'll make my decision okay?" I say wanting to know what I'll be getting myself into first, all Peace does is nod her head in agreement.

"Okay, can you tell me what I missed yesterday?" The rest of the school day goes pretty normally, but Peace sticks as close as she can to me throughout the day. Once school is over, I walk out with Peace and see a car with an oni looking woman holding the door open, Peace goes over to the woman and she leans down so Peace can whisper into her ear probably saying she chose me to be her bodyguard as soon as Peace is done talking, she goes in the car and the woman does the "come-on" gesture telling me to get in, after 20 minutes of driving, the car stops and the door opens I'm greeted with quite a sight.

It's a house, no correction a mansion surrounded by a red 20-foot tall wall, and an equally tall red, wooden door covered in golden decorations. Our driver presses a button and the doors swing wide open, where a bunch of men and women in suits covering either side of it.

I then turn my head to Peace and I think, "Future leader of a powerful gang, got it." I make a mental note for myself while trying to hide my terrified expression. We walk into the central house and greeted by a woman wearing a black kimono with red skulls dotted around it. Peace then runs up to the woman and kisses her on the cheek and is given one back, she waves goodbye to the woman and goes upstairs, leaving me alone with her. I'm scared stiff because I swear this woman is the reincarnation of Medusa, her stare could turn anyone, even All Might to stone. She has the same Pink hair as Peace, but her hair is dotted with strands of black and red hair, the woman also has a scar going around her neck, that she doesn't even try to hide.

I take a breath and say "Before we get started, can I use a phone so I can call my mom?" The woman nods and looks at a goon at her side, they pull a phone out of their pocket and toss it over to me. I grab it and dial mom's phone and I tell her I'm going to be late, she tells me to be back before 5:30. I tell her okay and hang up, and toss the phone back to the goon.

"Okay, now we can begin," I say while taking a seat in front of the woman.

"My name is Amallie (A-Mall-e), and welcome to the Miasma clan," Amallie says draining all hostilities out of the room leaving me without words.

"Okay clan not gang." I mentally note to myself. I never heard of the Miasma clan in the anime, so what's up with them?

"So how do you deal with heroes? I mean they must cause you all sort of trouble huh?" I ask trying to see what's their deal and see how they work.

"Hmhm hmhm, you see we're not violent people, we're peacekeepers and an information highway, so that's why you don't hear of us on the news," Amallie says while taking a sip of her tea.

"Fine, but we're here for I'll become her bodyguard on two conditions. One, you train me whenever I want. Two, I plan on becoming a hero in the future so I might need to drop connections with you in the future. Deal?" I told her before taking a sip of tea and suddenly needing to use the bathroom.

"Down the hall and take a right and it's labeled. You should be good." Amallie says while wearing a shocked look on her face. I don't even say anything and just rush to the bathroom as fast as I can, after returning I note that I can't drink tea without going into a literal pissing fit.

I take my seat again, and add a third condition "I have all rights to your training ground without complaint. So we got a deal?" I lay down my condition while a smile starts forming on my face.

"You're much smarter than you look, welcome to the family." Amallie pulls out a phone while saying this and slides across the table to me.

"Your first assignment is in two weeks and it's to protect my daughter from a rival gang that wants to stop my lineage from spreading. It's going to be your job to make sure that doesn't happen. Got it?" Amallie finishes off her tea while putting back on her fearful aura back on.

"I got, I-I'll promise she'll be better than when she left." I stamper out, before grabbing the phone and backpack and running as fast as I can out the door while thinking, "I'm going to have one crazy life."


Thanatos: And that's the end of the story for now. It's time for Thana tells.

Writer: Really Thana tells? Also *Thack*

T: Ow, what was that for?

W: Nearly cutting my head off in the last chapter.

T: Geez I thought you would have forgotten that.

W: I have now, I'm leaving now see you. *Walks through something and leaves*

T: You probably notice that, let me tell Death Requiem which is the magic all deaths use. Yes, deaths plural there's a system set up at this point, Death Requiem is time and space manipulation magic it allows create and move rooms like the one I have in Cortney's head or mass teleportation and many other uses. We can go out in the world of the living but prefer not to, and we still are living, we still have to do normal things, sleep, eat, you know the works. It makes things easier and we have really long life spans like up to 2000 to 5000 years. Well, that's all the time I have, for now, live long and see what the future holds.
