Chapter One
My shoulders slumped, I leaned against the back wall of the million dollar carriage. I watched the driver control the four pure white, very well groomed horses that had ebony silver chains wrapped around them to allow the driver to use them.
I was moving once again, but to a house I already owned in the rich neighborhood of Konohagakure. I have three places of my own. One in the Moon Village, another in the Snow Country in the middle of nowhere, and then of course home sweet Konoha. But I haven’t been to Konoha in a good fifty years, so I was hoping for a change for the better.
A bump on the road startled me and I looked around with caution. When I sensed nothing, I sighed, hugging my calfs and rested my chin on my kneecaps. I was tired and starving, probably on the brink of unconsciousness for a normal person. But I wasn't normal, I was one of the three Reapers of this world.
I was inhuman, with enough power to easily slay a tailed beast or a demon. Though my normal job was to put people to rest, to guide them to the other world. I was what you could say both the devils and the gods angel, doing their dirty work for them.
I had powers that no other Reaper had, with all humans who know of me worship me, throwing themselves at me.
They know of my diet. I eat souls.
I take on two forms that I find most useful to get souls. This time around, my body is of a young adult woman, with busty curves and long pale blonde locks. Though I also take on the form of a child around the age of 10, with short brown hair in a lavender and white outfit. She looks more innocent, like she wouldn’t even swat a fly.
My eyes always remained the same. Ice blue eyes, with pupils smaller than a normal humans.
I sighed and looked at my driver. He was compelled to drive this for me, as I saw he was driving a carriage at the border of the Fire Country. I was getting tired of driving the carriage myself. But in return, I got a butlers suit tailored just for him. So I suppose we’re kind of even.
“Takashi, how much longer until we arrive?” I asked boredly, looking around at our surroundings. ‘A group of ninja are trailing us.’ I thought with a frown.
“About a kilometer left milady.” He replied in a emotionless voice. I slumped my shoulders and looked around, pretending like I didn’t notice the ninja yet.
“Pull over.” I ordered and Takashi compiled. I stood, letting my long blonde, almost white, hair fall over my shoulders down to my back neatly. I had a corset on, going from my hips to under my bust, then an off white dress that went down to right above my knees. I also had on really expensive black boots on that I really didn’t want to get dirty, for as I had them both custom and handmade.
I looked down at the road and scowled when I noticed it was dusty. For sure my boots will get dirty if I go down there.
But I stepped down and walked to the middle of the road, slowly turning around to face the ninja. Four male Leaf ninja appeared and one immediately got a nosebleed when he saw me. He had long white hair, and red lines painted on his face. He seemed much older and wiser than the rest of the group.
The man next to him had a cigarette sticking out of his mouth, a black beard making his face pop. Then next to him was a guy that had white hair sticking up and more than half of his face was covered, only revealing a grey eye.
The last one, well... he looked special. And not in a good way.
And of course the special boy ran up to me, stopping about a meter away and dropping to his knee.
“My love! Please marry me!” he cried- literally. “For I have not met anyone so beautiful!” I stared down at him wondering if he was serious or not before deciding to just ignore him. My expression hardened when I looked back up at the others.
“Why have you been following me?” I demanded and the older man barked out a laugh.
“We were just curious about where you were going. Us Leaf ninja were on our way to Konoha.” he explained. I nodded slowly.
“I am too. I have one of my houses there and I decided to move back.” I informed the ninja carefully. His eyes brightened and he skipped forward.
“Then allow us to guard you in your super luxurious carriage! There is more than enough for all of us! And there are bad ninja all around.” he insisted. “I am Jiraiya by the way.”
I rolled my eyes. He just wanted a reason to be near me.
“Fine, but he gets to sit next to me, and you get to sit the farthest away from me.” I reasoned, pointing at the other white haired man. Jiraiya’s jaw dropped, and I prepared myself for a little tantrum.
“K-Ka-Kakashi!? Why him?” he whined. So Kakashi was his name.
“Because, he seemed the least creepy. Well, him and smokey are tied.” I informed and turned on my heels to return to the carriage. Jiraiya giggled pervertedly and waved the others to follow.
We all piled in, and I told Takashi to go again.
The chatter gave me a headache, all I really wanted to do was take their souls and make them my meal. But I couldn’t now because it will raise suspicion of me abusing my job. Then the humans will attempt to lock me away and it will become a bother. In the end, I would slaughter the village.
Now we don’t want that, do we?
