Flashback of twelve years...
Frustrated-filled crying was filled in the room of Mizuki Higurashi, a young eight year old who was forced to move in with her father after a very long divorce. Mizuki didn't understand exactly why she had to move with her ass of a father, the man had touched her baby sister and herself in places that weren't meant to be touched as such. Especially by one of your own kin.
Why would her mother let one of her own children move in with her pedofile of a ex-husband? Did the eight year old's mother hate her? Was it because Mizuki was born with freaky looking purple eyes? Was it that she had started to get canines right after her 8th birthday?
Why was Mizuki in this hell hole while her other syblings were in a house filled with love and harmony and not one, where she is currently living in, with creepy lust?
That was when the violet-eyed girl heard the house door open and slam shut, loudly, making the young girl jump in fear, knowing that her father was most likely going try to, as Mizuki heard from many of the neighbor boys say, "cop a feel".
Last week, the pedo "accidentally" walked in on Mizuki while the girl was taking a shower, then even offered to scrub her back. But Mizuki wasn't stupid, the girl had been going through this stupid shit for the past two weeks now along with the previous year and a half while still being in her mother's home.
So Mizuki did the one thing she could think of.
Hide. Then get the hell out of that fucking house.
Five minutes later...
Mizuki was curlled up in the fetal position underneath the kitchen table, with a few splatters of blood, her father's blood, on her face and torso. Her pants were toren off and her panties were ripped to shreds and both destroyed article of clothing were now somewhere in the room, but Mizuki didn't dare move for fear that the man who lay, dead, on the floor would rise and continue his sexual assault upon the eight year old.
So the violet-eyed girl sat in her spot in the fetal position with a bloodied butcher knife in clenched hands.
Knock. Knock.
Mizuki's horrified, and wide, violet eyes shot to the front door and heard the most heavenly sound in the world.
"Mr. Imai? Mizuki?" Ms. Taka called out through the door. "Are ye two alright?"
That was when Mizuki finally gathered up the courage she needed and bolted for the door and openned it, hiding her lower half behind the door of course, and was staring at her good friend and neighbor, Ms. Taka.
The elderly woman's sky blue eyes widened at the sight of the interior of the apartment and the scratches and developing bruises on Mizuki's face, neck, arms, and torso.
"Dear Kami, Mizuki! Are ye alri-" Ms. Taka didn't get to finish when she soon found a bottomless Mizuki clinging to the elderly woman for dear life, while the girl, rushedly, explained what had occurred between Mizuki and her father only moments ago.
Ms. Taka wasn't surprised when Mizuki finished, instead, the 61 year old woman removed her bottom-up sweater and wrapped it around Mizuki's waist, pulled the crying girl to her person, closed the door to the apartment, and guided the child to her apartment, which was about two or three doors down from Mizuki and her father's.
Now, Ms. Taka was in her bathroom preparing Mizuki, the girl who felt like a granddaughter to her, a bath. To help the girl get rid of the disgusting feeling of what that...man had done to that poor innocent child. But Ms. Taka was somewhat relieved to know that he had not succeeded in raping Mizuki, and although Ms. Taka doesn't approve of murder, she had to admit that Mizuki's father got what he deserved.
"Mizuki?" Ms. Taka called the girl's attention.
"Hai?" Mizuki whispered quietly, shaking slightly.
"Do ye have anywhere that ye can go, Dear?"
Mizuki shook her head no.
Ms. Taka "hmm"ed before excusing herself to go make a phone call and would return shortly.
Mizuki may be an eight year old child, but she was way ahead in years then other children her age, the eight year old knew that Ms. Taka was going to call the police, tell them what happened, and have Mizuki taken to her mother's house. The violet-eyed girl snorted and rolled her eyes.
She knew that her mother wouldn't let her back into the house, after all, in the court Mizuki's mother agreed, quickly, that the young Higurashi girl was to live with her father.
Shortly after Ms. Taka had called the police and informed them of the situation, said elderly woman entered the bathroom, now seeing that the shower screen was closed and shielding Mizuki's nude form from Ms. Taka's sight. But Ms. Taka nodded her head, understanding why the girl had moved the shower curten.
"Mizuki? I called the police, Dear. So, hopefully ye should be finished with ye'r bath and we can take ye home."
"Hai." Mizuki nodded, a little better now. "I'm ready to get out. Would you please hand me a towel?"
"Aye." Ms. Taka replied with a russeling sound that sounded like moving cloth and Ms. Taka moved the towel over to the shower curten and allowed Mizuki to grab onto it and said girl quickly wrapped the towel around her, now standing up in the tub, and moved the shower curten out of the way and walked out of the bathroom with Ms. Taka following, at a respectable distance, behind the girl and into the spare room that Mizuki would use whenever she'd run from her apartment and over to Ms. Taka's.
Mizuki gave a small smile when she saw that Ms. Taka had laid out some clothing for Mizuki to put on before the police got there.
Knock. Knock.
The police had just knocked on the door the moment Mizuki had just finished the button of her pants, and herself and Ms. Taka went to go see who it was and sure enough, it was two police officers. Ms. Taka quickly explained what happened and the police nodded, then took Mizuki with them into their car and over to the Higurashi Shrine so the little girl could live with her family.
When Mizuki and the police officers arrived at the Higurashi Shrine, all went well as the police officers explained to Ms. Higurashi, when she openned the door, why they were there. Then everything went down hill from there when one of the officers told Ms. Higurashi that her ex-husband had attempted to rape Mizuki, but Ms. Higurashi's daughter had managed to prevent that.
"How?" Ms. Higurashi wondered out loud, hoping that her daughter hadn't...
"I'm afraid that he's dead, Ma'am." The officer responded, now sporting a little Mizuki clutching to his pants, afraid of seeing her mother's face at the moment.
Ms. Higurashi's eyes widened as she stared at her oldest child in what looked like a mixture of horror and fear, and the woman simply shook her head. Telling the officers that she refused for Mizuki to live there with her other two children.
When those words left Ms. Higurashi's mouth, Mizuki's heart stilled.
Had her mother just basically said that she refused to have a murderer in her house?
The officers looked at Ms. Higurashi with curlled lips and looks of disgust and turned around to take Mizuki back to Ms. Taka for the time being. Seeing as they thought that Mizuki was Ms. Taka's granddaughter.
Ms. Taka's apartment door openned to reveal Ms. Taka herself and the police officers explained what happened and Ms. Taka did something that she had never done in her entire life.
She cursed.
Both officers stared at one another, then back to Ms. Taka who said that she would take care of Mizuki from now on, seeing as no one else would. The officers agreed and left Mizuki and Ms. Taka alone with one another.
Then, later that night, Mizuki stared to feel massive amounts of pain throughout her body. The pain had gone on for rest of the night until it finally went away and the girl went to the bathroom to go take a shower to remove all of the pain-induced sweat from her body when she peered into the mirror and screamed.
She now had solid dark violet-colored hair, the white parts of her eyes were now black and her clear light eerie violet eyes were now the same shade of violet as her hair, she had fangs that were about an inch long, and black one inch sharp thick nails.
Upon hearing Mizuki's horror-filled scream, Ms. Taka burst through the door to the bathroom to see what was wrong to see Mizuki's hair and eye color change, she had fangs and black thick sharp nails.
"Mizuki? I did not know ye were a miko."
Mizuki's horror-filled eyes widened even more than they already were. "A miko?" The eight year old squeaked. "But I thought that mikos were supposed to be pure and pretty, not freaky-looking and ugly." Mizuki mumbled the last part through her newly acquired fangs.
"Nay, Mizuki. Ye are a miko. Just one of the only remaining extremely powerful ones. This-" Ms. Taka motioned at Mizuki's current appearance. "-is ye'r true form. Yer powers must have unlocked just now." The old woman finished, now hugging the girl before adding, "And ye are not "freaky-looking and ugly". Ye, Mizuki, are beautiful young girl and will be even more so when ye grow older."
End of Flashback...
Mizuki smirked, sitting at her desk in her new office at the DWMA, at what her adoptive guardian had told her. It was true though. As Mizuki had gotten older, many boys her age and older were drawn to her like a bear was to honey.
However, when Mizuki was about 17, she heard about another family member of hers that may be able to take her in. So, Ms. Taka told Mizuki to go and live with them if she truely wished for it.
And Mizuki did. But the teen was a little bit nervous about going considering she had some major fears of hights, but when she got to the airport she had met a boy who helped her with her height fear.
Flashback of three years...
Mizuki was blushing furiously as many boys were now surrounding her, asking if she would be one of their girlfriend. But no matter how many times she declined them, the idiots just never left her alone.
(a/n: Just wanna let any of those who are reading that I have NO idea what Dr. Stein looked like when he was younger! So don't get mad at me, please!)
Then a boy with short gray hair, that almost appeared like a light brown color, with glasses, came up to the group of boys, that were bothering Mizuki, with another boy behind him with red hair and brown (a/n: I think that's the color.) eyes and pushed them all away from Mizuki.
"Oi! The woman says she doesn't want any of you, so get the hell out of here!" The boy with red hair snapped at the group who automatically ran away upon seeing the red haired boy and the other boy with the gray/light brown mixed hair color.
"Are you alright, Miss...?" The guy with the gray/light brown hair asked with a warm smile on his face.
"Mizuki." Mizuki smiled back at the two boys, both grateful for the rescue and wondering why they weren't goking at her like many of the other boys before her. "Mizuki Higurashi."
Both guys' eyes widened.
"What?"
"Are you related to Lord Death by any chance?"
Mizuki nodded, having seen her oji only through pictures through her Mae-oba-chan over facebook.
"Hai." The teen replied. "So, I already told you who I am. What are your names?"
"I'm Spirit Albarn." The red head smiled, holding out a hand to Mizuki, who took it into her own and shook it, then let it go.
"And I'm Franken Stein. But you can just call me Stein, if you want to."
Mizuki nodded, shaking his hand just as she had done with Spirit.
"Arigatoo. Had you two not come then I wouldn't have known what I would've done." Mizuki explained to Stein and Spirit.
"Doitashimashite, Mizuki."
The three teens talked about random things until they all heard that the passengers for their plane were boarding, and Stein and Spirit were on their way when they noticed that Mizuki was staring at the large, in Mizuki's opinion, plane in horror.
"Mizuki? Are you afraid of planes?" Spirit asked only to be smacked upside the head by Mizuki.
"No! I-I...uh,"
Stein just chuckled and gently wrapped an arm around her, assuring the girl that nothing bad would happen to her and the three teens finally ran over to the plane before it left without them.
End of Flashback...

DWMA: Flashback of two hours...
"Mizuki?" A familar, yet older, voice called out to the assassin as she entered her oji's "office" room.
"Stein!" Mizuki ran over to her longtime friend and hugged him, then took sight of Spirit and let go of Dr. Stein and hugged Spirit as well. "Dear Kami! I haven't seen you two in so long! How are you?"
Spirit, Lord Death, and Dr. Stein chuckled at the woman.
"We're doin' pretty good, Mizuki. How about you? I heard that you were doin' jobs for youkai and humans, also that you've been acting like a cold-hearted bi-" Spirit tried to finish, only to have Mizuki punched the poor weapon-man on the back of his head.
"Shut-up, Spirit!" Mizuki playfully snarled at her friend, flushing a bit. Then looked at the DWMA's headmaster. "Konnichiwa, Oji-san." Mizuki smiled at her oji.
"Konnichiwa, Mizuki." Lord Death gave Mizuki a lit bow, and said young woman gave Lord Death one of her own in return. "What brings you here?"
"Well, I heard that my imouto is currently attending at the DWMA, so I decided to come over here to see her." Mizuki took in a deep breath. "And I'm not looking for education or anything, but if it's possible Oji-san, do you have position that you need filled? Like another sensei or something?"
Lord Death "hmm"ed before nodding.
"Actually, lately we're in a need of a P.E. sensei."
Mizuki tilted her head to the side in curiousity and slight confusion.
"But isn't Mira the P.E. sensei right now?"
"Hai." Lord Death replied. "But she's also the academy's nurse as well. And she very well can't be in two places at once."
Mizuki nodded and smiled at her oji.
"Alright, Oji. I can do that."
End of flashback...

Ring...Ring...
Mizuki stood up from her desk and walked over to the door to her office and noticed that the first group of students that she was to "teach" today were here and that her oji forgot to mention (a/n: Just making this up.) that Mizuki would be "teaching" co-ed P.E.
"Mizuki?" A familiar voice called out to the new P.E. sensei.
Mizuki turned to her right, seeing a girl with sandy blonde hair in pig tails, emerald green eyes, and dressed in a white t-shirt and blue gym shorts. "Oh, hello Maka. Haven't seen you in a long time."
"What are you doing here, Mizuki?"
Mizuki sighed as she stared at a boy with white hair blushing pretty badly as another boy with turquise (a/n: Sorry if I spelt that wrong.) blue hair looked like he was asking the white-haired boy a series of embarrassing questions.
"I heard that Kagome was attending the DWMA resently because of her..." Mizuki paused for a moment, trying to think of the right word. "...'boyfriend'." Mizuki air quoted. "Was being his two-timing self again and needed to get away from him as far as possible. And I'm here to not only to make sure that he doesn't find her but I'm also here to be the new P.E. sensei."
Maka's emerald green eyes widened. "Really? Kagome's your sister?"
Mizuki nodded. "Younger by three years."
"But you two have different last names. Are you half or step sisters?"
"Neither." The new P.E. sensei shook her head slowly. "Kagome is going by our mother's last name and has been ever since she was born. I used to share the same last name as well until our...bitch of a mother refused to have anything to do with me. So I figured that if she wants nothing to do with me, then I didn't want have anything to do with her."
"So you changed your last name from 'Higurashi' to 'Death'?" Maka tilted her head to the side a bit in curiousity.
Mizuki nodded.
"Anyway, since I'm new at this sensei-ing thing." Mizuki looked at Maka with a kind smile. "You mind helpin' me out?"
Maka returned the smile back at the friend of her and her father's and nodded. "Sure thing."
