With that, here's Ten Years Later.
(Kimi's P.O.V)
It had been ten years since my sister passed away. And in the first four years of my life, that was probably the greatest thing to have ever happened to me. The people who ended up killing her, ended up adopting me, and I finally had got what I've dreamed of for years: a family.
Mom and Dad were a part of a special kind of organization that protected the world. Father was a demon weapon, kind of like me. He was capable of turning into a weapon; specifically, a South Asian sword called a kukri (1).He was also called a Death Scythe, a special, more powerful blade capable of being held by the Grim Reaper, or as they called him, Shinigami-sama. The only way a weapon can become a death scythe, was that they had to eat the souls of ninety-nine Kishins or "evil humans," and the soul of a witch. When they explained it to me, I was kind of shocked that my sister's soul was used for such a purpose. But it didn't bother me at all.
Mom is what's known as a meister. It was because of her, father became a Death scythe. For she was the one who handled him while he was a weapon. According to father, she was called a three star meister, which is the highest ranking a meister can obtain. Indicating that she was a force to be reckoned with.
After dad became a death scythe, he proposed to mom and they've been married for ten years now. Four years beforehand, they had a son named Kurai. We were the same age, only I was born in February while he was born in March, so he liked to refer to me as a nee-san. (2) Despite the weapon gene he got from father, he was more of a meister, and was unable to turn into a weapon. Regardless, he dreamed of going to the DWMA, a school built for meisters.
I was now fourteen years old, was two months away from being a high school student. I lived in Phoenix, Arizona, where it was extremely hot. Since those ten years had passed, my physique changed along with my personality. My hair grew so long that it had reached to my waist, my figure was super model like thanks to mother, and my bust had grown to where I was at an E cup. The one downside was the perverts that came with looking like this. My life had become care free and laid back. I've made a lot of friends, and for once. I knew what it was like to be a normal person.
But I could never forget that I was never normal
"It's so hot," Those were the words of Kimi as she sat right next to the window while the hot blazing sun was giving her an unwanted tan. "I'm dying."
"Miss Kage," Kimi looked up as her teacher Mr. Berning glared at her while other students spectated. "You may be done with your test, but there are still others who would appreciate the silence."
Kimi chuckled sheepishly and sat with her head down as the students around her continued with their test. After a while, Kimi found herself asleep, and didn't wake until the final bell signifying school was over that she woke up.
"You had a good sleep?" Kimi's friend Nariko asked her. She was a young girl with brown twin ponytails, and a small frame. She was sweet, kind, and had a personality that made a lot of people like her. Kimi wasn't the exception, she thought of Kimi like a little sister.
At that moment, she turned to the front door as several girls were screaming in joy. They were all circling a boy with long blonde hair that obscured most of his right eye that made him look like a poet, add to his charming look. He had blue eyes and a slim build. He wore a simple black button up shirt with a matching tie and black slacks.
Kimi sighed while Nariko covered her mouth hiding a blush. "Kurai-kun."
The boy was Kimi's younger brother Kurai, also known as the school's pretty boy. Most, if not all of the girls were smitten and held secret crushes for him. Kimi thought that maybe it was because he looked like a vampire you'd see in one of those god awful Twilight movies. He was a straight A student, and excelled at sports.
All the girls swarmed him asking him to go out with him or confessed their love for him. All of them were talking at once, so Kimi couldn't tell what most of them were saying. She walked and sat at the closest desk to overhear them.
"Kurai-kun, are you really going to the DWMA?" One of them asked.
"Yeah, I'll be starting ninth grade there," Kurai answered.
One of the girls responded with a sparkle in her eyes. "That's amazing, that place is in Nevada, and is so elite. Does that mean you're a weapon?"
"No, I'm going to be a meister. I was able to apply and make it to the EAT(3) program. I dream that I can make a death scythe like my dad."
"Cute!" The girls said in awe. Kimi felt herself about to gag at any moment.
Kurai politely excused himself and walked over to both Kimi and Nariko, the latter looked down to hide her blush. Kimi stifled a laugh, knowing that Nariko was one of his many admirers.
"So where are you going for summer school this year, Kimi-nee?"
"For your information, Prince Charming my ass, I passed," She presented her finished history test and Kurai found himself surprised to see a ninety-three on it.
"I'm impressed," Kurai turned to Nariko and smiled, making her cheeks red even more. "Thank you for helping my sister, Nariko-chan."
"It..it was..n-nothing," Nariko stuttered and abruptly walked out.
Kurai found this surprising and turned to Kimi. "Is she alright?"
"Seriously, you're that dense?" Kimi thought.
Kurai reached into his pocket as his phone vibrated and read what seemed to be a text.
"Mom wants us home now, she said she's got big news," The both of them looked at one another with curious looks.
"A summer program?"
As the two said that in sync, their parents danced around the house in what looked like overjoy. "Shinigami-sama is starting an early training camp for up and coming freshmen," Their mother Katsumi explained as she was suddenly dipped by Lucifer.
"You two better have your bags packed, because you both will be heading for the DWMA tomorrow," Lucifer said with a big grin.
"They almost seem too happy," Kurai said in an unenthusiastic way.
"Hold on, you can't just drop us off in Nevada. Where are we going to live?"
"There are dormitories for first years," Kurai answered.
Kimi turned to him with a big tick mark. "You're not helping!"
Turning back to her parents, Kimi asked. "And money?"
"Each student receives a weekly stipend of two hundred dollars, or you can get off your lazy ass and get a job," Kurai told her.
Kimi responded by wringing his neck. "I'll kill you!"
Kurai grabbed onto her hair and yanked it. "You want to fight! Let's go!"
"Enough, both of you!" Their mother yelled.
Kimi released his neck while Kurai had quit yanking on her hair.
"This'll be good for you," Their mother implied. "The types of things you do at the DWMA are incredibly dangerous. You could end up losing your lives."
"Kurai is in the EAT program, so he's going to be exposed to a lot danger, he needs this," Lucifer told them out of concern. "This can also be a good thing for you Kimi, but that's on you."
"Then I don't want to go," Kimi immediately told them. "I had already put all that demon, witches, and supernatural crap behind me. I just want to live a peaceful life," Kimi then stood up and walked out to her room.
"Kimi-nee," Kurai muttered until his father placed a hand on his shoulder. "Let her be."
Kurai scowled and took a seat at one of the tables "How could you adopt someone like her? She doesn't care about anyone other than herself."
"That's enough," Lucifer demanded as he took a seat. "Kurai, do you know why Kimi has never once turned into a weapon?"
Kurai shook his head. For all he knew, she never even liked to talk about it.
Kurai's mother took a seat behind him. "Weapons have the innate abilty to eat souls. We use that to eat the souls of evil humans, people who have devoured human souls and turned into something inhuman."
"I know all about that, its common knowledge," Kurai told them.
"I never wanted to tell you this, for Kimi's sake," Her mother sighed trying to ready herself. "Before we met Kimi, she had a sister who was a witch. For a little girl, she was evil to the core. Her name was Saiyan the Wolf witch. She was the one who turned Kimi into a demon weapon."
"Her sister was a witch? Does that mean Kimi is one as well?"
Lucifer nodded. "That's exactly right. But after becoming a weapon, she lost the abilty to perform magic. She was only three years old."
"So why doesn't Kimi like to transform?" Kurai asked.
"The thing is," Katsumi started and gulped. "After Kimi turned into a weapon, her sister began to kill innocent human families, and forced Kimi to eat their souls."
Kurai's eyes widened in shock and he was reduced to stuttering. "Eating human souls? But isn't that what makes evil humans?"
"Yes, but when a weapon themself eats human souls, they become corrupted and vile, no longer considered human," Katsumi said. "From what Kimi told us, she ate over a hundred human souls, something which left her traumatized as a child. She was one of the lucky ones who ended up not corrupted because of her childlike innocence, and sense of right and wrong."
"It was more than that," They all turned and noticed Kimi standing at the end of the hallway. She must have been listening in. "It was also my fear that kept me rooted."
"Kimi-nee," Kurai stood and faced her. "Is what they said true?"
"You shouldn't ask that until you hear the entire story," Kimi told him with her arms folded. "They're right, I ate the souls of many families that were killed by the hand of my dear sister, turning me into a dark weapon," Kimi looked down with a depressed look in her eyes. "All I could do was watch, I couldn't stop her. She was strong as she was cold hearted."
"So what happened to your sister?" His question was responded with a slight laugh. "It's funny how you ask that, when you're standing in front of her killers."
Kurai had turned with a confused look, only to see his parents not meet his eyes. He immediately had put one and one together. "You killed Kimi-nee's sister?"
"In order to make a death scythe, a weapon has to eat the soul of a witch. Her sister was the witch who made your father a death scythe," Katsumi responded much to Kurai's shock. "After all of the killings, we were assigned by Shinigami-sama, to kill both Saiyan, and the so called "abomination" she was trying to make," She finished referring to Kimi.
"But your mother was reluctant, and insisted on taking her under her wing."
"And so little brother, that's how I ended up being adopted," Kimi told him. Kurai turned to her with a look that told her that he was having difficulty comprehending. "How long have you known?" He asked her.
"Known?" Kimi said in surprise and laughed. "I was there. I saw them kill her," She dialed down seeing Kurai's look of horror and took a deep breath. "I never liked my sister. She never cared about me, she only used me. I don't care that she's gone, I say good riddance," She left back to her room and slammed the door making everyone flinch slightly.
Kimi had stayed in her room and refused to come out, let alone open it. Except for when mom had brought up a sandwich for her to eat. She looked to her clock and read that it was 11:16 PM, yet she wasn't the least bit tired.
"I'm a monster," She muttered to herself as she lied on her bed with her hands on her face. "The real reason I don't want to go, is because I won't find a meister." Deep down, she feared that if anyone got close to her, she would end up hurting them in the end. She rather would live a peaceful, boring life, then cause others pain, or ultimately kill them.
"So your true feelings surface," Kimi looked to her door and noticed Kurai standing there leaning on the door. Her immediate response was throwing a pillow. "How did you get in? Get out!"
Kurai presented a small butter knife. "Remember how you used to lock yourself in the bathroom when you were six? There are things you don't forget."
"What do you want?" Kimi asked in annoyance, which was her way of saying come in.
Kurai entered and sat Indian style on the floor. "I'm sorry."
Kimi found this surprising, and even more when she saw him bowing his head. "For what."
"For bringing back unwanted memories and rubbing salt on old wounds," Kurai told her. "Mom told me everything else after you stormed off. It must have been tough."
"You don't know the half of it," Kimi faced him and sat in the same style on her bed. "You lived your life in blissful ignorance. I didn't even know what it was like to feel a mother's embrace, or even a warm hug," Kimi smiled looking down. "When mother hugged me, the first hug I've ever felt, I was happy, as if the scar my sister left faded away. And I don't want to see that scar again."
"Kimi-nee," Kurai stood up and walked towards the door. With his back turned to her. "You're really not considering going with me?"
Kimi shook her head no, and was met with a booklet in her hands. She looked at the cover and saw it was a handbook of the DWMA.
"Read it and finish by tomorrow. If you don't want to go with me afterwards, I'll understand," He shut the door halfway. "Before I go, let me say this. You're not going to get over your past if you keep denying and running away. Eventually, that well is going to dry up," He had shut the door after wishing her a good night, leaving Kimi both in shock, and to her thoughts. Kimi looked to the booklet and stared at the picture of Lord Death standing in front of the academy.
Since the next morning, Kimi had given Kurai the silent treatment, which he took it as a sign that she still hasn't forgiven him.
"Kimi-nee is really not coming?" Kurai packed the last of his bags into the trunk of the car his mom rented for the trip, seeing as he was about to take off in ten minutes. The trip was at least an eleven hour drive, which meant that he could make it by ten and get to the apartment his parents managed to rent for him.
"Afraid so kiddo," Lucifer told him ruffling down his hair. "Seems she really made up her mind."
"Maybe we should drive him, he's only fourteen," His mother asked in desperation.
"Mom, I know how to drive a car. Don't worry, I'll be safe," Kurai defended.
Kurai's mother had been crying her eyes out since this morning and hasn't let up. Deep down, she didn't want her kids to leave so soon. "Maybe you should have one last lunch before you leave us."
Kurai sighed in slight annoyance. "I already had a "last" breakfast."
"But did you pack clean underwear? And a toothbrush, and a roll up bed-"
Kurai slammed the trunk, turning her silent. "I'll be fine, I'll call you the moment I get to Death City," His mother opened her mouth to say something, but he beat her to it. "And I'll send you pictures," He told her with one last hug, which ended up with his mother squeezing him so tight, he was starting to lose air.
After Lucifer successfully pryed his wife off of him, he walked up to his son two envelopes in his hands. "I've been saving this since you were born," Kurai opened the envelopes and nearly suffocated finding. "$10,000?"
"Living expenses. It was originally five-thousand. Half for you, and the other for Kimi, but I guess that was a waste," Lucifer told him with a smile. Despite that, Kurai knew he was extremely upset. Kurai placed it in his pocket, just as his father gave him one more piece of advice."When you look for a weapon, try to get a cute girl, that's what I did."
"Thank you father," Kurai told him. He looked to his mother and gave her another hug for her sake. "I'll miss you too," He teased
Katsumi nodded and took a few step backs as Kurai got into the driver's seat. He looked around and was depressed that his sister wasn't anywhere to be found. "She's not even coming to say good bye," Kurai looked down and started the engine. "Good riddance."
"Oy, Kurai-kun!"
Kurai looked to the right and was shocked as Kimi hopped into the passanger seat in her casual clothing. A short black dress with a small, light purple jacket on top. Next to her were two suitcases "Guess I don't have to say goodbye then."
"You're really serious?" Kurai asked
Kimi took a deep breath and nodded yes. Immediately, the sound of their mother wailing ringed in the both of their eardrum. Kurai started the engine and waved his arm out the window waving them off. Kimi hopped in the back and stuck her body out the sunroof as Kurai drove off. As she waved her parents bye, they drove farther and farther off until the two of them were out of sight.
"Thank you for everything, mom and dad."
She sat back down on the passenger seat and smiled as Kurai chuckled. "Next stop: Death City," He said.
"Wow," Kimi said in awe of their two bedroom, one bath apartment. They were locatedon the seventh floor. There was a living room that joined with the kitchen. Whoever ran the place even provided a dining room table on top of some chairs, and a couch in the living room.
Kurai placed his bags down and immediately crashed on the couch. He's been driving non stop except for pit stops, gas fills, and snacks. The moment he stopped the car, he dreamed of going to sleep. "Don't get used to it, we're only living here for the summer. As soon as school starts, we're moving to a dormitory."
"Well I'm going to go take a bath," Kimi scolded him.
"Whatever, just get some sleep. Cause we're going to the DWMA tomorrow at twelve sharp," Kurai had said.
"Already? What for?" Kimi asked.
"Didn't you read the pamphlet?" When she nodded no, he sighed in slight irritation.
"By noon tomorrow, I'm going to recieve a weapon partner, and tomorrow, you're going to obtain a meister," Kurai said with a grin.
Here's Chapter two. So there introduces my star OC Kurai. I kind of did the whole popular pretty boy since most females are into Twilight. I may be into it, I might not. Again, no flames.
So if you noticed some parenthesis with numbers in bold, those are translations, since some of you might not understand what those phrases mean, I plan on doing these from now on.
(1) A kukri is a weapon that originated from a kopis, a curved type of sword that's used mainly for clearing bush in the forest, and can be used as a weapon.
(2) "Nee-san is generally used to refer to the older sister out of respect.
(3) E.A.T stands for Especially Advantaged Talent. Those are the students who are given specialized missions. N.O.T or Normally Overcome Target, are the students who are learning to control their powers.
So the next chapter will be the introduction of Shibusen. Just a heads up next chapter, Kimi and Kurai are going to end up with a meister and weapon, and one of the main casts other than Kid are going to make an appearance.
Next time, with The DWMA
