Summary: (Alternate Reality) In a world where Shinigami’s rule, one of them decides it’s time to break the rules and settle down, rogue Shinigami Ichinomiya Kantarou has now run away from the heavens and settled down in twentieth century Tokyo, however the Shinigamis aren’t having it and sent another Shinigami to do their bidding, now it’s a fight between Gods and Earths the battlefield.

Muu-chan sighed, he was lucky he came back to Heaven without anyone noticing he wasn’t at his post.

“You seem relieved Muu-chan” Muu-chan jumped, twirling on his toes to meet the frightening gaze of Minamoto Raikou, the ‘Earth Elemental Captain’ and the youngest out of the other Elemental captains.

Watanabe wasn’t too far behind him as usual.

“R-Raikou-sama, h-how are you?”

“Fine, you must be relieved that nothing dangerous happened on your route huh?” Muu-chan nodded even though he was uneasy. Sugino warned him not to talk to this captain when alone and not only that Muu-chan was bullied by some of Raikou’s men a while back but that doesn’t happen as much as it would now.

“Yeah, thank goodness…”

Muu-chan flinched when he felt Raikou’s hand being placed unto his chin, slowly tilting his head up so that their eyes would lock. Raikou stared into those dark eyes while Muu-chan froze; it felt like the Earth Captain was staring into his soul.

“Mm, I’m actually kind of jealous of Sugino-sama actually…I wouldn’t mind having you all to myself either”

“W-What?”

“Muu-chan!” Muu-chan and Raikou both looked over to fiery green emerald eyes, Sugino rushed over and grabbed Muu-chan by the wrist and pulled his innocent vice captain away. “I thought I told you not to try anything Raikou!!”

Raikou tilted his head to one side, wondering what on earth the captain of water could be implying.

“But I was just saying hello Sugino-sama”

Sugino stormed off, taking Muu-chan with him until they were no longer in Raikou’s presence.

“Lord Raikou…” Watanabe whispered and Raikou nodded, both of them coming to one conclusion now.

“I know Watanabe, that little ‘Vice’ might know something about Ichinomiya-sensei’s whereabouts…we’ll have to keep a little eye on him”

“UM…Where’s Doctor Himawari?”

Kantarou swirled round in his chair, he smiled gently at the young girl who had just wondered into his temporary office.

Hasumi had gotten him to pose as a substitute doctor, the real doctor who would usually be here was asked to take sick leave because he had a weak heart, plus he was already excluded from the investigation after looking at his background.

Hence why he had to wear the Doctors coat and these round glasses.

“Doctor Himawari is on sick leave, I’m his replacement until he gets better, my name is Doctor Ichihara” Hasumi had all these fake documents created so that Kantarou and his ‘accomplices’ were able to infiltrate the school with no problem whatsoever “Is there anything wrong sweetheart?”

The little girl blushed and walked on in placing a hand on her red haired head.

“I have a little headache, can I have some painkillers?” Kantarou got off his chair and wondered to the medicine, opening the class door and took out the painkillers, kindly handing them to the girl.

“Here you are, only take two, if your head still hurts come back and I’ll see what to do okay”

“Thank you Doctor!” Kantarou smiled and waved as the girl left the doctors office, Kantarou sighed, so far the only thing he was able to tell from some of the doctors notes that all the kids that visited suffered from a stomach ache and he didn’t know what caused it.

He wondered if the others had any luck…

“Doctor can I have a word?” Kantarou jumped from the growl when Haruka entered and slammed the door behind him.

“Ah, Haruka how are things going?” Haruka flopped himself down on the sick bed, he looked exhausted.

“You said that you’d be the one who would investigate, how come I’m the one that poses as the teacher while you’re a doctor?!” Kantarou sat down on to the chair.

“Because if I’m a doctor then the students would trust me with their information since the job I’m doing is a strictly confidential policy while if you’re a teacher you’re able to get close to the students by just mere communication…” Haruka narrowed his eyes, that sounded right but there was still something slightly un-nerving about it.

“Besides between you and me…I didn’t want to wear the teachers’ uniform and also I always wanted to be a human doctor for a day so my little childish dreams come true” Kantarou giggled while Haruka found a book and tossed it at Kantarou’s direction, a direct hit on the man’s head.

“You sorry excuse for a Shinigami!!!”

“Ow!”

“Um, sensei?” Both men jumped when they turned their heads to the door to see another girl and a boy, this time Haruka seemed to have recognised them immediately.

“Juubei-kun, Mitsuki-san what is it?” Mitsuki the young girl with brown hair turned to her friend.

Kantarou could feel a slight pain in his chest, it wasn’t anything dangerous but still it was an evil aura, finally some progress.

“Juubei-chan is sick, he says he has a stomach ache Mutsuka-sensei” Haruka and Kantarou looked at each other before Kantarou decided to take some action, Kantarou wondered over to the medicine cupboard and pulled out a glass, just an ordinary glass and a teapot.

He poured some hot water into the tea cup and then ripped open a sachet of ‘herbal green tea’ and poured it in, after the rest of the actions that need to be taken were over, Kantarou came back and handed it to the boy.

“Here drink this”

Juubei took the cup and drank it, nothing happened for a few minutes until the boy started to scream and fall to the floor. Haruka caught the boy in his arms while Mitsuki began shouting her friend’s name.

“Juubei-chan!! Juubei-chan!!”

“Mutsuka-sensei! Tap his back!” Haruka looked at Kantarou wondering why until Kantarou explained it to him “He’s choking, you have to tap his back to get it out before he chokes to death!!” Haruka tapped the boys back about three or four times before the child spat something out on to the ground.

It was round and black, it looked like a mud ball, Kantarou narrowed his eyes and stamped on it, crushing it into millions of pieces, a type of black smoke appeared before turning into dust and falling on to the floor.

“What was that?!” the girl screamed, clutching onto Kantarou.

“Oh, it was nothing; just a mere bug…was there anything that Juubei-kun ate before developing a stomach ache?”

“Miss Hinata, would you place these books over there please?” Youko didn’t know why she agreed to help but if it was to save the children then she was okay with that. Youko nodded, happily taking the books and went to the numerous shelves in the library.

There were so many books, like maths, science, anything for the national curriculum and more.

In their word they never had a place like this, they did have a school but they didn’t learn anything like maths and all that even though it was introduced but they had courses like how to detect an evil aura and how to summon and hide your weapons or levels.

Youko remembered being basically average in the school but when she and Kantarou met they helped each other and her powers began to grow because of Kantarou’s support.

She still remembered how they first met to be honest.

Youko was being bullied by some higher class-men and Kantarou just came by, he didn’t mean to get involved, it was an accident but when they attacked Youko for a second time, Kantarou decided to help out of knowing what it felt like to be bullied, from then on they became close friends.

Youko even remembered how they met Sugino and Muu-chan and there was even a time when she met Haruka but that was a one time thing.

Youko also met Mamoru, she remembered him…

Shivers crept up her spine from remembering it all.

“Oi, did you hear about Momoka-chan? She’s missing now” Youko snapped out of remembering the good old days and turned her attention to the three students that were sitting at a table, reading books bet used them to guard their heads.

“Really? The teachers said she was on sick leave?”

“Nah man, Momoka was the seventh kid that went missing here, remembering Hiro-kun? He disappeared a few weeks ago too”

“Huh? You think this school is hunted? Creepy! Like something out of a horror film!”

“You can say that all you like but I’m going to ask my parents if I can transfer to another school, I don’t want to be next”

“Um, excuse me…” the three students jumped when they looked at Youko who only graced them with a kind innocent smile.

“Would you tell me more about those kids please?”

“Hm…I thought I eradicated the evil aura but there still seems to be something giving him pain” Kantarou muttered, he was worried, after persuading Mitsuki that her friend was in safe hands and that he’ll stay here until his parents come and pick him up.

The child that laid on the sick bed was breathing heavily, sweat coating his skin. Haruka continued to look at the child, he was meant to go back and teach the children but he had a cover teacher take over for a little while.

“I can still sense it too…so what are you going to do?”

Kantarou tilted his head to one side and then another until and idea came to mind.

“I can extract the evil from him and then purify it within myself or unless you want to do it…” an uneasy silence fell between them until Kantarou sighed “Never mind I’ll do it then but you better cover me, we both know how hard it is to do a purification depending on how strong they are…”

“Yes, I wouldn’t have been an Elemental captain if I didn’t know that, if it’s a weak spirit then it’ll only take a few minutes to purify however if it was a more powerful spirit then it would damage the Shinigami’s body…”

“Or kill them”

Kantarou placed a hand on the child’s head, closing his eyes.

“This will probably hurt, if it does I’m sorry, Rin…” Kantarou took his hand off the child and started to do hand signals. Haruka looked on in curiosity as he watched the author

A red light started to engulf both of them “Pyo, To, Sha…

A dark smoke started to rise from the child’s body, his breathing getting more quick and erratic at any given second “Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!”

“Agggh! Juubei screamed, he screamed at the top of his lungs until all the smoke that once surrounded him vanished and turned into a horrific ghostly face that looked familiar and then slowly disappeared inside of Kantarou.

“I never get use to that feeling, no matter how many times I’ve done it”

It was later in the evening and Kantarou was feeling the after effects of that purification.

Haruka was back teaching his class and Kantarou did get a little visit from Youko later after Juubei was picked up by his parents and taken home. Kantarou warned the boy’s parents that he should take a week off school just in case.

He remembered his little discussion with the boy’s friend about what he ate before getting a stomach ache.

Kantarou wonders if he should head over to the canteen later just to make sure that the information he was given was more than mere information.

He felt his head spinning so he thought it would be best to take a little rest on the hospital bed until lunch time.

The author just gently closed his eyes and started to dream

“Kantarou…”

Images began to make their way into his head, memories of a lab, a scalpel

“He’s not going to make it!” a tube filled with blue liquid, a person stuck inside

“Seal it!” Mamoru’s eyes staring down on him with such malicious intent.

Kantarou started to scream

A person covered in a red light covered in symbols, tribal markings and blood.

“S-Stop it, please…ah!!”

“Kantarou, your mine”

“Mamoru!! Stop it please!! It hurts!! It hurts!!” all he saw then was blood scattered on the floor, a person standing in front of him, he had red hair and crystal like eyes, completely covered in the markings and symbols.

“What does it feel like, having this curse hanging over your soul, those bastards only want to spread this disease to everyone, you mustn’t let them get their hands on it, if you do, then everything we know will be destroyed…”

“Kaito!!”

Kantarou tumbled to the ground, the same markings he saw on the other man’s body slowly developing on his skin.

“This is the curse…”

“Kantarou please don’t let them get their hands on it, please”

“I’ll break your soul in two!! I rip you limb from limb!!”

“What’s going on!!”

Millions of voices, thousands of screams began to thump against his head, sending him into a whirlwind of confusion and panic until all he could…

Was wake up

Kantarou jumped out of the hospital bed and landed head first on to the ground, his eyes wide open with fright, the dreams he’s been getting have been haunting him for years, ever since he left Heaven, he couldn’t let it go.

Kantarou slowly raised his hand towards his face, seeing that the markings that were there in his dreams have not appeared in his reality, in the world of the waking.

“It was just a dream…huh?”

The silver haired man slowly turned his head over to the window, seeing nothing but children running outside and playing childish games.

“I wonder what it’s like to be a child in this world?”
