• Daisuke closed the door shut behind him and sat in the chair in front of his desk. Thoughts rushed through his find like a flood. The day seemed to drag on forever, but at the same time it felt like it passed by so quickly. Sakura had lied to him about the gift to get him to go shopping, Kota acted like a moron(like usual), and a man in a hood gave him a strange necklace and mentioned something about the war of the reapers. You know, the usual.

    Daisuke lived in a semi large house, with his mother. His father had abandoned him and his mother when he was only 5. Daisuke had always been the man of the house, and would not allow any men to even look at his mother.

    He rose from his chair, and flopped himself onto his bed. He dug around in his pocket and retrieved the scythe necklace.
    "War of the reapers? What kind of dumbass would believe any of that." He then chuckled to himself. "Probably Kota."
    He stared at the necklace a moment longer and placed it on his night stand. He then slowly closed his eyes and drifted off into blissfull sleep.

    ....Daisuke....Daisuke....

    Daisuke's eyes shot opened and he stared into the darkness that was his room.
    "How long have I been out?" He glanced over at his alarm which read 3:00 A.M. He sighed and rolled back over on his side attempting to fall back asleep.

    .....Daisuke......Daisuke......

    His eyes shot open once again, and he flipped the switch to on his night stand. The lamp then sprung to life and the darkness vanished and was replaced by a cluttered messy room.
    "Who the hell is calling my name." He then looked over at the strange necklace and rose out of bed. He picked it up and allowed it to rest in his hand. He flipped over the necklace and saw a smear on the back that appeared to be concealing words. He brushed his thumb over it gently and read the words as they came into view.
    "THE WAR OF THE REAPERS HAS BEGUN. LET THIS HUMBLE HUMAN BODY BE A VESSEL FOR THE POWER OF THE SHINIGAMI."
    A bright light then eclisped his room and Daisuke was sent flying backwards, and the necklace levitated in midair. He became blind for a minute or two, but when he regained his vision, he saw that the necklace had vanished. Now, where the necklace once floated, was a girl, about his age, with black wings on her back. Her hair was a crimson red, like the color of blood, and she what seemed to be like a black bra with black leather jeans. She had many chains around her body that jingled as she stretched her arms.
    "Finally," she said with a seductive voice. "I thought that stupid Scout would never find someone worthy of my....skills." She looked down at Daisuke's horrified face and smiled. "I guess this is mine and your's lucky day. The day you recieve these powers, and the day i get closeer to becoming the winner."
    "What are you" was the only words Daisuke could force out."
    She winked at him. "I'm what you call a Shinigami."
    Only silence came.
    She sighed. "You know, a Shinigami. AKA: a Reaper."
    "I know what a Shinigami is, I'm just trying to figure out why the hell one is in my room....unless.........is it my time......to die?
    There was a moment of silence and then the room filled with her laughter. "Wow, i thought you were serious for a moment." She stared at hime and then sighed once again. "You were....looks like i have some explaining. Well first off let me congratulate you. You have been chosed to participate in the War of the Reapers, which is a very high honor. Only humans with large will power, and an interesting history are chosen."
    "What exactly is the War of the Reapers," asked Daisuke.
    "The War of the Reapers is something that happens every 10 or 20 years. It happens when the Shinigami realm becomes crowded. If there's one thing we Shinigamis love to do, it is to reproduce. Well anyway every decade or two we must....control the population so we begin to pick each other off one by one until there is a reasonable number."
    "So how do we human's come into the picture?"
    "Well as you know with all that fighting comes destruction and damage, and we seriously don't want to mess up our world so we cross over into the human realm, and settle it here."
    "That's F*cked up," exclaimed Daisuke.
    She smiled at him and winked. "You know it. Well anyway in you realm our powers don't work, so it's kinda a bust if we go at it alone. That's were you come in DAI-SU-KE heart . You see we can use your bodies as a vessel for our powers, which is a win win situation. You recieve unimaginable power, and we are able to fight. All you have to do is read the back of the necklace."
    "So that man earlier today was a 'Scout'?"
    She nodded her head.
    "So why did he choose me?"
    "Like i said earlier," said the girl, "will power, interesting history, yada yada."
    He paused and began to think about how all this seemed impossible. Then he realized something.
    "What's your name?"
    She giggled, "So we finally get to the introductions, I'm Raza."
    "Well Raza....what now?"
    "Now you choose," said Raza. "You can either accept to be my partner or decline and go back to living your life."
    "What happens if i accept?"
    She smiled at him and leaned forward so that their noses were touching. "You recieve all of my powers, and our minds and souls become one. We either last till the end, or we lose."
    "And what happens if we lose?"
    She leaned foward again so that her lips were on his neck. He felt his body go numb as she began to nibble. She then came back and they touched noses again. "...We die."
