To Be An Exorcist (Kanda Fanfiction)

1st Chapter- To See

Twelve years without the gift of sight can be rather lonely. I suppose that's okay though, I don't believe I could go on anymore with out at least some unseeing. Do you know how they say that when someone loses one of their senses, the other come back tenfold? I can firsthand provide you that that is indeed a true statement. My hearing is excellent, my sense of smell is amazing, taste is enhanced, and touch is unbelievable. Thanks to this I can live normally with almost no disability to sighted people.

I walked about the town I had come across, feeling my way through the new area with a metal staff. I stopped dead in my tracks. I could feel it here, wherever it was. An akuma. It was hiding in a crowd though, making it more difficult to track.

"Hello miss. Do you need some help getting around?" someone said behind me, a male's voice, taller than me, weak build. I smirked.

Found you.

I gripped my staff tightly, and swung suddenly for the akuma behind me. He narrowly dodged. I made way to swing again, turning around to face the akuma, but a force from behind gripped my staff with both hands, pressing it to my neck and cutting off my airway. I struggled to breathe and suddenly I began to panic, trying unsuccessfully to pull my staff away from my neck.

Human. They're human.

Whoever it was holding me here, they were human, not akuma, that much I knew.

"Please," I rasped, begging for air.

"Shh, sleep child," the voice soothed as I drifted off into darkness.

When I woke up again, I was lying on cobblestone pavement, my staff was in my hands, placed on my chest. I groaned, looking at the starry night sky. A ping of shock hit me. I blinked. Once. Twice.

I can..see.

I stood up, excited to start seeing things like I had once long ago. Then, as I was standing up, a piece of paper that was lying on my chest that I hadn't noticed fell to the ground swiftly.

"Hm?" I picked it up.

Report to the Black Order. Directions will come to you shortly. Do not worry. Your cousins Komui and Lenalee will be there.

I stared at the last sentence in surprise. When had I last heard of, or seen, my cousins Komui and Lenalee? Too long, surely. And what did this note mean by directions? Or the Black Order for that matter?

This is obviously a new story, and I'm going to post four chapters at a time each update, just in advance. I also don't have any specific schedule. Finally, I've been awake for like 1943937 hours working on this story, and I'm tired, so I do hope you enjoy this story.

Fare the well,
