Neku Sakuraba was waiting for his friends at Hachiko Statue in Shibuya. He was just sitting on the ground watching the crowds of people and peering into their souls to see what kind of person they were. Neku could use this ability ever since they won the Game back in Traverse Town.
Neku has orange and spiky hair with cobalt blue eyes. He wore a pair of purple headphones around his neck normally, but every now and then he wore them for the comfort of silence. He had on a sleeveless purple shirt with a big collar around it, some grey shorts and purple shoes. Around his right wrist he wore a yellow wrist band. As a person, Neku wasn't very open, he preferred to be left alone. He still does every now and then, but who doesn't? Thanks to his new found friends he's learning to be a bit more open.
Now about his ability to see souls, he was able to see them because of his time in the Game. But not his friends, just him. He didn't know why. But he wasn't bothered by it. His friend Yoshiya (Joshua) confronted him and told Neku that he was responsible for giving Neku the 'Soul Perception' ability. "Now Neku," He said once before, "I gave you that power because you may one day need it. Understood?"
"Understood." He replied. But that was just a distant memory. Now looking back to it, why does he need this? Sure he can have some way to tell people apart and whether or not he should trust them. But, he just didn't see any way to have this as a necessity. He only uses it when he's suspicious of someone or just bored in a crowd. Though there were a few peoples' souls that were twisted up. Mad even. Not anger, but rather craziness, madness you could say. Unlike the usual blue soul that's out on the surface, they were red and had a weird pattern over it.
He really was scared to peer into those souls any further due to the fact he didn't want to see what kind of 'madness' they had. He sighed and slipped his headphones on over his head. He stopped looking into souls and stood up. He glanced around to try and see if any of his friends was nearby. He checked all of the surrounding crowd to find not a single friend in sight. His face tugged into a small frown. 'They're normally here by now...' He glanced over to his phone to confirm it. 'Yeah, this is the right time. So are they ok?'
Neku looked around one more time to make sure before he goes off and starts to find them. "Neku!" he heard someone call his name. He turned to see the voice belong to Shiki Misaki. Shiki has reddish brown hair which is under a brown and white cap decorated with a few buttons on the sides. She also wore a red short sleeve shirt that exposed some of her midriff. Over that she had an even shorter yellow hoodie. She also wore a green skirt with a brown pouch strapped around her waist. Like Neku, she wore a wrist band on her left arm as well. She has a very good sense of style and trends. She's normally the one who is most positive in a group, regardless of how bleak a situation could get. She carries around a stuffed cat that she made some years ago. (A.N.: This is Shiki how she looks in Kingdom Hearts. I assume that they're leaving her like this if they make another appearance. But either way, I'm leaving her like this to avoid confusion among characters themselves. Ex: Sora and Riku are perfect examples. Plus Joshua will be an Angel rather Composer because this is part in Kingdom Hearts.)
"Shiki." he called calmly. Keeping some of the emotions down. He was happy to see her, but he wasn't going to go and flood his emotions all on her. At least, not yet.
"Neku, have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"In the news this morning. There were a few more murders. Apparently, like previous victims, there chests were split open. So the cops think that it's all the same guy?"
"Oh yeah. I did hear about those." Neku stated, "That's what the news is saying. Though I think there are more psychos involved."
"Really, how?"
"Eh. Some black magic ritual involved somehow. I'm only assuming. Though I could be wrong. Anyway, have you seen Beat and Rhyme? Normally they're the first ones here."
"Actually, I'm just as concerned as you..." Shiki said worriedly.
"Well have no fear! The great Black*Star is here!" Some boy shouted from on top of the Dog statue. Neku and Shiki and few from the crowd looked up to see who it was. It was some boy with spiky blue hair. He wore something similar to Neku except that the shirt was black and had a silver scarf around his neck. The pants were longer and his eyes were green. The boy had a He was laughing wholeheartedly at his 'greatness'.
"What are you doing up there?!" Shik cried out, "You're going to get hurt unless you get down from there!"
"Pfft. Don't be ridiculous. Someone as big as me won't get hurt."
"Shiki... I'm going to be honest here..." Neku said, "Screw this guy! I'm more concerned for the statue! Get down now!"
"And what's some string bean like you gonna do if I don't."
"I'll have to make you get down..." Neku said darkly, as he reached for a pin. He only had three that still worked good enough in the Real world. A shockwave pin, a pyrokinesis pin, and a force rounds pin. He was about to pull one out when a ninja star came into contact with the other boy's forehead. Nicking him in the head, not killing him. When he hit the ground both Neku and Shiki had looks of confusion and surprise on their faces.
"Black*Star," a girl's voice said, "We're here to help these people. Not go picking fights with random civilians." The duo turned to see a girl with black hair tied in a long ponytail and had blue eyes. She wore a ninja garb with a star on her right breast area of the suit. She seemed like a nice and quiet girl. She had an air about her similar to Shiki. She could pick up on small things and could make a bad situation seem somewhat happy. "I'm sorry for my friend's little acting-out," She continued nervously, "Sometimes he just can't help himself." She giggled nervously. "My name's Tsubaki. Mind telling me yours?"
"Aw, that's a nice name. I'm Shiki, and this is my friend Neku."
"Oh. My name's not all that special..." Tsubaki said while blushing slightly.
"Oh no! It is! It's really special for someone like you." Shiki went on ranting about her name. Neku was more focused on a certain soul he could sense. It was nearby, somewhere around the airport and West bus terminal. It was a normal soul, but it had something on it Neku couldn't describe. But it was powerful. He tried concentrating more on it, but he picked up a small spark of a faded soul. It was weak, but able live somehow. "Neku?" Shiki asked, "You ok?"
"Um. Yeah, I'll be fine." He said in his usual cool demeanor. He shrugged off the two souls off for now.
"Great it was nice talking to you." Tsubaki said, dragging her friend with her away.
"That was weird." Neku stated when he couldn't see them anymore, "They must be new in town."
"How can you tell?"
"With his ego, he would be known by now." Neku said with a small smile.
A.N.: This sums up Chapter 2. Maybe in Chapter 3/4 we'll get some fights in, but for now, keep happy with the dialogue somehow. Don't be afraid to R&R. I don't bite. But you don't have to.
