"Class we have 3 new student in Kooryou High" the teacher proudly announces it, like he wins a lottery. It appears that i must start off the introduciton, I clear my throat and begin to say "Hello class my name is Shinji Muromoto, i am 16 years old, you can call me Muro or Oto"."Well class this is Shinji-kun, he just transferred from Teriouka Academy" explained the teacher,everyone starts to fuss, "is that not a high class school?". take out everyone wondering. The teacher, also curious on why I moved, asked "what was your reasoning for transfering to this school. "My parents job forced us to relocate, although that was not true, it would have to suffice for now?" actually it was a lie, well not completely though, actually i moved here to hope that "they' will not find him here. "W"Well..I am your new teacher, my name is Mr Aogi, you can sit over next to that serious looking guy" he pointed to a guy who appeared to be lost in his thoughts. I approach him and greet him, "hi my name Shinji, but you can call me Oto or Muro", but i got no response. I just sit down and sigh, "will I be sitting here for a whole year with him?". "Now for next student she from Teriouka Academy too..let me introduce you Shella Wishimoto", when i heard her name i almost stand up in shock, it can't be. A medium height and feminine looking girl come to the class, why she in here too?, "Errrmmm....my name is.....Shella, you can call me Ella" she saw me and blushed, oh god she as beautiful as she is used to be. "From her and your reaction it seems 95% both of you like each other, why don't you make up with her?" for the first time i heard me chairmate voice, it surprisingly he has a serious tone. Well...like he said i do love her, but i can't make up with her due to my weird curse, i can see people lifespan, like how long that they will alive or something like that, it kinda scary when i think about it."Don't be afraid of your gift,it's not a curse it a give" he said as he can read my mind."Shella you can sit there" the teacher pointing at the empty chair. "Now for next student come in Arakawa Kuro" we wait for several minute but no one coming "wait a minutes" Mr Aogi excuse and went out. "Sorry i didn't reply you back then, it nice to meet you Oto-San, my name is Shiro Warsawa, nice to meet you.Oh yeah i want meet you at break at the roof" Shiro introduce himself and lost on his thought again. For several minutes the teacher came back with a tall and deliquent-looking guy, like what the hell his clothes are messy, he wears headphone to the class and chew gum too,and his face is scary, if he is in Teriouka Academy, he will got many punishment. "Kuro-San can you took off your headphone and stop chewing that gum?" i though that he will disobey and start punch the teacher but instead doing that he took off his headphone and spit his gum to Aluminum foil, "My name is Arakwa Kuro i am 2nd best student in Tokyo, i am here because of him" he pointed at me, what!? i never met him once until now, but why he would go to school just because of me. "Kuro~San you sit that" Mr.Aogi pointed a chair far back, "WHAT!!!! I WANT SIT NEXT TO HER" he pointed at Shella, "you! moved there" he ordered a guy next to Ella, "but..but i like it here" he tried to defend himself but it no use, he easily shove him to the floor and sit "Quit yer yappin here your stuff" it though that he will throw all his stuff, but he did the exact opposite of my thinking, he tidy it up and give it nicely to him. Everyone Fuss, about the new student,even the teacher got hard time to make it shut. After a several Hour of hell (The Class SOOO BORING, how can i the 3rd best student on Japan, must learn this, i'd rather dance naked than here) the bell ring, "okay that's all for today you can take your break now", every student cheered and ran to the canteen, only in several minutes there's only me, Shiro, and Kuro that still sleeping, Shiro start walk out from the class perhaps he will go to the roof, so i follow him.

"What is it?" i asked to Shiro, "You have incredible talent on you" Shiro said calmly. "Of course i am 3rd smartest student on Japan, i have incredible talent" i just stated a fact, "no, i mean you have a talent that other people haven't. You can see other people lifespan" said Shiro Calmly. I am speechless how he know it, i want to avoid that fact but his face looks that he already know it. "Don't try to avoid the fact, i knew. When i touch you first the lifespan that i can see aren't gone, that what make me sure that you can see people lifespan" explained Shiro. "Wait? you can see it too?" asked Shinji, "Every deathwatcher can see it" explained Shiro as seems it rather obvious. "Deathwacther?" i tilt my head like alway the sign that i really don't know and think about it. "You don't know Deatwatch Corps?" Shiro shows his disbelief, i know everything, but i nevere heard about Deatwatch Corps. "You really didn't knew? how can you survive without comrades?" Shiro just realized that Shinji really doesn't have any clue. "There are others?" Shinji asked. "It rather quite many, sigh since you really don't know want to see it for yourself?" ask Shiro. "You bet" i am excited to see other deatchwatcher. Not so far from there a girl was eavesdropping from them "Deathwatcher?" she mumbled
--
"ARRGHHH... i'm gonna late" Shiro run as fast as he can to school while still eating a toast on his mouth, when he arrive at School he see Ella and Shinji talking, "it seems this gonna be fun" Shiro decide to hide and eavesdropping them. "Ermmmm.....Shinji did you know that 2 days from now is a golden day?" ask Shella nervous "yeah..." Shinji answer unbelievable calm, "So...do you want go with me to amusement park?" Shella Face become redder, and so is Shinji. "Err...i... i'm sorry" he ran away, Shinji you dumbass if you say that she think that you hate her", i decide to chase Shinji and straight this up
--
"Shinji!" Shiro shout, "Hmmm...?" he looked away to Shiro, and Shiro punched him as hard as he can. "Ouch why you did that for?" Shinji rubbing his cheek, "I can't help it, you were to idiot back in front of the gate, she will think that you hate her, she even cried, well sob, but it the exact same go apologize to her" Shiro really mad at this time. "WHAT!? you eavsdropping us, but if you said the truth, i'll go apologize to her" Shinji ran to search Ella, after several minutes they found her at stairs, "Ella wait up i have something to says" , Ella look back, and it was true her eyes red (well redder than usual because her pupils is red),"Sorry to be a jrk back then, i was shocked because i don't know how to react, it's my first time. I want to say i gladly come with you but instead i say sorry, i know how you feel"
Shiro apologize to her as best as he can, "really? you would go with me?" asked Ella. "Yeah i'd love to go with you even you go to the center of hell, i'll follow" I grabbed her hands, "i relieved...but...can you not hold my hands please it embarrassing" Ella blushed, i released it and blushed too
--
"Hohohoho...you got a Date" Shiro smirked, "Oh shut up" Shinji punch at Shiro shoulder "that's for what you did back then". "Hahahaha...sorry it can't be help" Shiro apologize, "Anyway Shiro help me i don't how to do" Shinji is in desperate situation, "Hell like i know, i never been in a date, i am jealous of you" Shiro apologized, "Argh...you hopeless" Shinji gave up. "Hopeless!?" there are slightest tone of pissed. "Hahahaha sorry,anyway how is the Deathwatch corps?" i asked, "Hmmm...i don't know, they didn't let me to bring anonymous guys although it was a deathwatcher too" explained Shiro, "Well,it can't be help we will try find how we can prove me, that can be trusted" Shinji think, "i though you were the smart one?" Shiro teased. "Ah Shut up,....ah i know how bout' we catch 1 soul to bring it to Deathwatch Corps" Shinji suggested. "Guess it will work, meet me at 8 o'clock" Shiro back to class and start the hell hours
--
"Are you ready?" a white haired guy with black jeans and leather jacket stand in front of school gate at the middle of night, still preparing his stuff.
There aren't anyone around him, suddenly he realized that fact. "Shinji? where are you?" he start scan the perimeter and ready to fight.
Suddenly a dark shadow creep out from the darkness faintly, step approaching the white haired guy, when at least the space between them is about 5 cm, he patted the white haired guy's shoulder. The guy at blindly speed rotate his body and preparing to slash the newfound stalker, but the creature can block the slash easily. "Aw come on, you want slash your new found Daethwatcher, Shiro?" a red hair guy wearing Denim Jeans and black shirt with a vest standing behind him
"Everyone will think that you're a thief or something if you crept like that" Shiro scolded at Shinji. Shinji tried apologized to Shiro, but it seems that Shiro still pissed on him, "I hate surprise" Shiro mumbled.
They walk silently to the destination, Shinji feel bad about it, he need to make up with him, "So...where are we going?" Shinji tried to break the ice. After a few steps further before Shiro answered it was a silent, "oh well there is no use to mad at you, we are going to loot businessman soul" Shiro explained. Shinji was happy that Shiro didn't mad at him anymore. They exchange information about theirself, after several hours they arrive at their destination.
--
"So here it is.Suit up" Shiro took a deep breath and released a red fiery aura, that fast enough to not being caught by eye already consumed every Shiro's body, it like a worm in a cocoon, but the cocoon is made of red aura rather than a silk. When the aura start dissolving Shiro already wear a motorcycle suit with a red helm with strange motive ot the side, the visor i can't see it through, he held a big red scythe, "What are you doing? you want to stare at me with that idiot looking eyes all night, or you want to prove to Deathwatch corps that you are worthy?", "You didn't need to say that idiot looking eye, i just like to observe that's all" Shinji released his aura, for a second there Shiro scared because he can't see Shinji anywhere,like he is gone, but when Ahiro concentrate on the last place of Shinji standing, there were a strange light illuminate, that should be Shinji's aura. The aura start dissolving and make Shinji visible again, he was wearing a long black robe, with a hoodie, and wearing a neko mask. It feels wrong Shiro though, his presence feel...different "Shinji? are you okay?" Shiro want clarify it.
the one that answered has different voice from Shinji, like a crow voice, he stare at Shiro blankly "my name is Noir", the way that he answered is just like an obvious to say. Shiro got confused "where is Shinji" Shiro demanding for answer."Shinji is in slumber" Said Noir in a blankly tone. This guy is strong, there are strong magic surround him, if i didn't stay alert i already in a deep slumber, "TELL ME WHERE IS SHINJI" Shiro pushed his scythe to Noir's neck, well tried but it failed, when i got neared at Noir's neck, my hand lost it's energy. "i am Noir, Shinji is me" Explained Noir, and start approaching their target. Shiro has no choice but he need to follow him. They start rampaging at the mansion. The Businesman should already dead 20 years ago, but he cheated his dead (until now Deathwatch corps still investigating how they can cheat their death.They already interrogate some life cheater, but when they want to spit the answer, they just died). Noir snuff the soul from businessman body, Noir start mumbling with a strange accent and language, after he finishes the mumbling the shadow start consume him again and make him to the normal body.
--
"Who is that?" Shiro asked to Shinji, Shinji look around like he was in a trance "who?" Shinji still dizzy. "The one that you change into" Shiro think that Shinji was faking. "Sorry, but all i remember is you scolded me and blank until now, what happened? it usually like this when i looting a soul, but today is worse than ever." Shinji explained.Shiro rack his brain, it doesn't seems right but he decide to not make Shinji more confused "Never mind" they parted off from the place
--
Two days later, Shinji wait for his appointment in Shinjuku train station, "Where is Ella" as he wait he makes sure that he is in good shape, the vest is good, the shirt doesn't see any hole in it, and a black jeans. 2 minutes later a blonde long haired with the eyes that has color of big sky blue calm yet threatening, my jaws dropped, she was pretty "Ella you're gorgeous" Shinji exclaim. Ella blushed, she is wearing a sky blue clothes that match with her eyes, and a blue jeans, she didn't use any make up, she is natural, that what make she beautiful. "What are you doing standing like an idiot go to the train the train leaving" Shiro popped out from nowhere, "Shiro why are you here?" Ella and Shinji surprised. "Oh i just take a morning walk like usual, and i got change of pase and see you guys" Shiro explained "Now go!". They didn't need to being told twice,they took a train to Kyushu. They have a great time in amusement park, ride roller coaster, shoot-the-cup game,everything. As we having fun we didn't notice that it already night, we spent 1 day in amusement park together, before we decide to go home we took a ferris wheel as our last ride. "Time sure do fly when we are having time" Ella smiling , "yeah it does" Shinji smiled back, the awkward moment strikes them, Shinji want to confess something but it hard, he must choke to say 1 full sentence "Ummmm...Ellla" Shinji choked, and Ella wait for Shinji's sentence finished calmly,but it just make him more nervous and said something out of the world "will you marry me" Ella totally in shock, Shinji cursed himself, "Sorry...i didn't mean that i was ner...." before Shinji can finish his sentence, Ella said something surprisingly "Yes, i do..... But right now i had inner problem, so i want to marry you when i solve my problem" Ella confessed. Shinji's jaw drop "Really? then it's a promise,what problem maybe i can help" Shinji offered, "i'll tell you when the time is right,now lets perish this moment together" Ella stared at the view and take Shinji's hand.
--
It was really late when Shinji and Ella decide to go home, but something weird standing at front of the gate. He was really tall with long arm,he is wearing a black tuxedo. Ella wrapped her arm to my waist hiding behind Shinji scared, "let me handle this you find a place to hide" Ella run to a shoot both and cover her heads. The guys start charging forward to Shinji, and i just realised his movement is weird, it like a puppet. I took a deep breath and whistle as loud as i can, a black cute wolf approached Shinji, he start mumbling an ancient language, when he finished the wolf covered up by a shadow and changed into a scythe, a big black scythe with a wolf eye at the end of the stick. Shinji swing his scythe although the distance between them still far, the scythe become longer and longer until the blade within in range with the puppet-man. If the puppet-man isn't good at dodging, he already sliced up like a cake, but he dodge it smoothly like he had no problem with that, and jump towards me. His attack is intense, if i was late for a moment he already got my heart, i slashed back , but instead he dodge it, he blocked it with his bare hand and strikes again. I hardly can't avoid that, all i can do is to minimum the damage when the strikes land, i jump backward using the momentum from the thrust, i still got wound, but it will be worse if i didn't jump. "Tcchh... he is good" i spit blood that come out from my mouth, before i can react the pupprt-man already grab my neck. I tried to free my neck, but my scythe was thrown away when i evade his last attack. Desperately i tried to open the man grab using my bare hand, but it no use the grab really strong, the man already put his wicked smile like he already won. a moment before i faint, there was a voice in my head "Don't lose" a crow voice encourage him, and Shinji fainted
--
It isn't exactly faint, Noir take over Shinji body, and easily broke the puppet-man grab. "Who---aere---you?" The puppetman creaked "You--are--different".
"My name is Noir, the ruler of the night" Noir charged not too his scythe but to the puppetman, before the puppet-man can raise his guard, a shadow whip, whipped from his back and make him stumbled down. Noir already grabbed the scythe, and suck the thing soul, "hmm...it became dangerous" Noir though and fainted. Ella ran to Shinji and shout Shinji's name repeatedly and cried for help
--
"Wake up Shinji Muromoto" Noir waking up Shinji from his slumber."Urggh.."Shinji woke up and look around him, well not much because it was only a pitch black and a man with a robe and neko mask standing in front of him looking at him blankly "who are you". "i am soul that rested in your body my name is Noir" Noir introduced himself, "Noir?" Shinji confused. "Yeah, but when i was alive everyone called me Sullivan" Noir a.k.a Sullivan tell a piece of information about himself."So you the one that control me everytime i did a soul hunt" Shinji want to clarify thing, Noir nodded. Shinji stand up and punch Noir face, but it went through like Noir only a projectile image "that's why i was weak, i can't save my girlfriend" Shinji poured all his anger to Noir, and Noir took the blamed calmly. "That's why you meet me now, you got a spark you need to train with me, i'll teach you" Noir snapped his finger and the scenery change become a room full of light but only in the middle of the room contained a square spot of shadow, "What will you teach me?" Shinji asked. "The key of Shadow user like us are keep on inventing shadows" Noir ignored Shinji question "The training will be hard do you take the consequences?" Noir warned. I want to become stronger and protect Ella without Noir's help, the only way to become stronger is to become Noir's disciple "i do". "Great, you will not step down when you already got my training, so come" Noir walk toward the shadow box and i followed him
