REI'S POV (Now 18 years old)

"No! no! don't do this please! gah!!"

I kicked the enemy in the face and I stomped on his chest as I pointed my pistol at him.

"Begging is for the weak."

I said before I fired my gun and I shot him right through the head. I smirked sadistically at his dead body. I put away my pistol and I left him there to rot. I got back to the castle and I was greeted by Ritcher.

"I see you've put another one of your victims to death, Reaper."

"Of course, he was a wanted man, I couldn't resist taking the bounty, after all, the pay was good."

I said with a smirk and I headed to Karl's room. I knocked on the door and then Karl let me.

"Ah, hello Rei, I see you dirted your hands again."

Karl pointed out as he saw the dried blood stains on my gloves. I smirked at Karl and I said to him.

"He did put up a fight but, the pay was brilliant as always, here."

I placed the large money bag on the desk and Karl smirked at this.

"Keep this up and some of the criminals around here will be scared of you and they'll have no choice but to surrender."

"And speaking of criminals, aren't you at least worried about Ritcher?"

"What do you mean?"

"He's been after your role as not only head of the family but also complete control of the demon world, you do know that's gonna make a move sooner or later."

"I know you're concerned, but, don't worry about it too much, now why don't you go and rest up, you've earned it."

"Arigato, Karl-sama."

I said with a smile before leaving his room. I got to the living room and I flopped onto the couch and then Christa showed up and she looked at me with a smile on her face.

"Tough day?"

"A bit yeah."

I said as I sat up and I continued.

"I had to deal with a tough guy earlier and he wouldn't stay down until I put a bullet through his brain."

"That's a dark thought."

"Well, we live in a cruel world after all."

I said with a smirk making Christa giggled a little.

'Ever since I've been here for the last three years, I thought the vampires here would have sucked my blood by now but, Christa and Karl-sama are the only vampires who haven't sucked my blood and the other vampires have been either nice to me or they're afraid of me because they know me as 'The Reaper'...hmpf, the first time I arrived here no one liked me until they learnt about me being a murderer and a thief.'

"Anyway, since there's nothing for me to do, I'm gonna go and visit an old friend of mine in the human world, if I'm not back in time for next job assignment tell Karl, I'll be back after I've seen HIM."

"OK."

Christa said with a smile and then I got my denim cropped jacket before leaving the demon world. I got to the Police Station and I told the policeman that I was here to see Takeo. I gave a fake ID to the policeman and he said to me.

"Nice to see you again, Karou."

"How's my brother been?"

"Takeo is pretty much the same, keeping his head down and trying to stay out of trouble at the same."

I smiled at this and he took me to the visiting room. Takeo came out at last and then he sat down in front of me.

"Rei."

"Shh, I warned you already, don't call me by my actual name, I'm also trying to keep my head down too."

"Hmpf, I see that you haven't changed much since the last time we spoke."

"I tried to live a normal life after leaving the gang but, it wasn't going to happen, the blood of the people I've killed in the past will always be on my hands."

Takeo looked at me surprised and he then said to me.

"I know, I feel the same but, we've got to at least try and change our ways, including you."

"I can't change who I've become Takeo and neither will you, once I've got enough cash on my hands and a place of my own, I'll find a way to get you out of here, no matter how long it takes."

Takeo looked at me surprised and then he sighed sadly.

"Rei, I know what you're trying to do but, you can't save me from this place, it's too late, the judge told me that I'll be spending all of my years here until the day I die."

"Don't things like that Takeo, I will get you outta here and then we'll find the other members and we'll be back together again."

"No, Rei, it won't happen, you obviously haven't heard, the other members have changed their ways after serving their time in prison or they left the country with new identities, as of now, the gang is disbanded."

My heart broke in two when I heard this and then Takeo held my hands.

"Gomen, I wish things could have been different but, there's nothing you can do for me or the others now, it's time to let go of the past and move on."

"No, that's not true, there's no way the others have moved on."

"It's the truth whether you want to believe it or not, Gomen Rei, this will be the last time we'll speak to each other, it's best that you don't come back here anymore, you've lingered way too long in the past, hoping that the dragons will come back, as I said, it's time to let go of the past and move on."

I sat there in shock and then Takeo stood up from his seat. I stood up as well and I said to him.

"Takeo, please, don't do this to me, you're the only family I've got left, I've lost too many people already, I can't lose you too."

"I know, but, let me tell you something now."

Takeo patted my head and he then said to me.

"Someday, you'll meet someone new and you'll do whatever it takes to protect them, that's what I've taught you, from now on, never use your guns or your sword to kill people for entertainment or for a job assignment, use them to protect those who are close to you."

I was sad and surprised at Takeo and then he walked away from me along with the other prisoners back to their cells. I left the prison and I looked over my shoulder to stare at the prison one last time before walking away from it.

'Protect those with my skills huh? ...sorry Takeo, but that's something I'm gonna have to think about in a different life because I've become a monster no...'

I smirked sadistically and I continued to think to myself.

'I've become a reaper, a Shikigami who will bring death to those who cross my path until the day she dies.'
