Prologue

"Yatty," she giggles, "You have blood on your cheek." She smiles and walks up to me. Sticking her hand out, she rubs the small splotch of blood off my cheek, shining her smile.

"Did pretty well, didn't we?" I ruffle her hair with a smile.

"Mhm, we did amazing. Poor guys though, did nothing, just crossed us the wrong way," she smirks.

"I don't feel bad, they disrespect us, we kill them," I mutter and she nods. The burning hatred towards the corpses is noticeable even in her icy blue eyes. Her blackish brown hair fans to her face, the wind pushing it. Red ooze splatters across her black clothing and pale skin. Her regalia stayed in his weapon form, blood dripping across each bladed area on the double sided scythe.

"You get tired of our job, Yatty? Having to kill for no reason?" She asks.

"No Akane, I don't. We represent calamity and war. We kill because we must strike fear," I explain.

"Yeah, show these annoying, selfish humans that they don't own this world. We do," she growls.

"We should go before people come here," I mutter.

"It's not like they'll see you," she shrugs and she tosses her regalia up so he spins, "Ryo!" A boy appears with a smirk playing on his lips and he winks at her causing her to slightly giggle. The boy named Ryo, being her regalia, was also covered in blood, exactly like his weapon form. His hair was a blood red, matching the liquid covering his slim and tall body. He wore a green jacket, a t-shirt, and a pair of jeans. He was chewing on his black lip ring that matched his eyebrow piercing. "We're leaving," she says and he nods. We walk through the corpses, our shoes squishing from the wet blood filling them rapidly.

"Where do we go?" I ask.

"The shrine, I can't have you getting hurt Yatty," she looks at me with care in her eyes.

"Thanks Akane but I can fend for myself," I reply.

"Says the one without a regalia," she smirks.

"Come on, you're younger than me. Why are you protecting me?" I pout, acting like a child.

"Because I'm here," Ryo wrinkles his nose and lays his arm on her soft hair, forcing a glare from her eyes, jealous of him being taller than her.

"And because I said so," she giggles, "Let's get higher ground. I kind of want to admire this beautiful scenery." She has always had a twisted side to her and I can see why. She has grown up always killing, just like me. When she's bored she'll go out and create a massacre just for the fun of it.

I'm worse.

I kill the people I love so they won't make me weak. I listen to the voices in my head, telling me to take a blade and pierce their heart before I grow soft.

For my own life.

For my own safety.

The only person I haven't killed was her. I killed my parents, my best friend, and my regalia.

"There's a cliff just up there. It's not that big, 'bout fifteen minutes to get up-"

"Sorry I have to interrupt," a familiar giggle booms through the mostly empty field, cutting her off.

I turn around, face to face with the black locks of hair "Nora?"

She pouts "Yato, you know I'd rather be called by the name you gave me."

"What are you doing here Nora?" I ask.

"Well, you are in need of a regalia," she smirks happily.

"It's true," she murmurs "Yato, just use her until you find a new one."

Nora immediately starts laughing, her voice booming through the field "Oh Yatty, Yatty, Yatty. I'll let you use me, under one condition, kill Akane." Akane smirks at her, not believing I would attack.

I then whisper "Yuki." Nora starts to glow and appears in my hand as a sword.

I instantly see tears form in her eyes as she mutters "Suki." Ryo turns to his weapon form, falling into her hands.

... it's finally time to kill everyone I love.

I immediately attack her but she blocks it with the middle of her double-sided scythe. A scratch forms in it and I see a panic in her eyes.

"Suki, you okay?" She asks.

The voice comes from the sword, explaining "Yeah, just a cut." She kicks me, my body falling back, hitting a rock, causing pain to shoot up my body. I go to stand up but I stop when I feel a cold blade touch my neck.

"After everything I do for you, this is how you repay me!?! I saved your life numerous amount of times and you have the audacity to try to kill me!?!" She yells. She rakes the scythe up and rears it down, going straight for my heart. The second I feel the cold metal graze my skin I feel it still. I open my eyes to see her crying.

My little sister crying.

All of a sudden she glows white and disappears.

Akane's P.O.V.

"Ryo," I whisper, wiping my tears. My blood colored hair regalia appears in front of me with remorseful eyes. I look at Ryo and see the gash across his stomach. "R-Ryo, are you okay?" I ask.

"Don't worry about me, love, are you okay?" Ryo asks and I nod with a soft sniffle. Ryo wraps his warm hands around my petite waist, trying to soothe me.

"After everything I ever did for him," I mumble. I push myself off Ryo, wiping my tears and looking upon the slaughtered men and women.

Me and Yato's art.
