I'm Really Shinigami?
Chapter 1
Immortal Calender- S-4551
Shinigami blasted magic fiercely at the magical being, his energy
extremely low. In the cavern of Shinigami in Time-Space, Demigods
Fique and Sikeeh watch in horror. There were originally 13
Demigods of Death, but 11 were erased by the strange being that
now threatened Shinigami himself. The balance of life, death, and
rebirth was at stake. If Shinigami were destroyed, there would be
no death or rebirth and the universe would collapse of
overpopulation.
Sparks of magic fly through the air. What can threaten Death?
What time-twisted demon could possibly destroy Shinigami, the God
if Death? And why would they do it? "Sikeeh, Master is
losing, what can we do?!" Fique's voice quivered and echoed
in empty cave. Sikeeh looked on at the raging battle through the
portal, then back at the scale of life and death. The once
balanced scale was wobbling threateningly. "We have no
choice, we must cast the rebirth spell."
"But..that would be Master Shinigami will be reborn on the
planet without any memory at all of his powers or role as the God
of Death!" Fique gasped. "We don't have any other
choice! I don't like it either, but as long as Shinigami is alive
the balance will remain, c'mon, we haven't got much time."
says Sikeeh angrily. The two demigods gathered their supplies
and cast the spell by the portal. All at once, the Being...struck
Shinigami, the God of Death glowed and vanished, leaving the
enemy to rage at the nothingness.

Duo woke with a start, he felt strange...like someone was calling
him...The 7-year old boy looked around his dark room in the
church. He made out two short figures in the corner of his room,
"W-Who's there?" his voice quivering. The two shadows
came closer, they looked like two ordinary little boys, but
weren't dressed so. The first one had, dark, faded blue hair and
bright violet eyes like Duo. He was wearing a black jean jacket
with a silver skull-like symbol embedded on the front, a silver
letter 'F' was on the sleeve. The boy had baggy black pants and a
sword hanging from his back.
The other boy had gold, orange hair that crossed half his face, a
stray strand of hair fell right in front of his nose, his eyes
were pale green. This boy was wearing a black cloak with the
skull-like symbol and the letter 'S' on it. This boy held a
beautiful, long, silver scythe. "We are you're servents,
Master." said the gold-haired boy. "I know you do not
remember us, but you are in danger..the Being is near." Duo
was afraid now, who were these boys, why did they call him
master? The blue-haired boy took his sword out and pointed the
tip of the blade to Duo's forehead. The chestnut-haired boy shook
in fear, "W-What are y-you going to d-do with m-meee?"
"Give you energy, enough so you can hide yourself from the
Being." replied the boy calmly. "What--" Duo fell
unconscious as glowing red energy flowed into him. When it
stopped, Duo collapsed back into bed. Fique turned to Sikeeh,
"What now?" Sikeeh glanced at Shinigami, reborn as Duo,
"We watch, if the Being becomes a threat to Master again, we
will restore his memory, we are his protectors." Fique
nodded and returned his sword to it's sheath. Taking one
last look at Shinigami, the Demigods vanished from the room.
A few days later, the Being sets the church on fire...destroying
all but his target. He managed to frame OZ for it. But Shinigami
escaped, and the Being lost track of him, for the time being.

Duo woke up suddenly, it was 3 in the morning, why had he woken
up? Something didn't feel right...'This is stupid' thinks Duo,
'How can something not -feel- right?' A slight flash appeared,
but was gone so fast Duo wasn't sure if he had actually seen it.
The room felt different now, as if there were more people in
it...'What's going on' wonders Duo silently. A beam of moonlight
shines through the window revealing two shadows in the corner of
the room. Duo opened his mouth in silent horror...it was...them..
The figures stepped forward, Duo inched back in his bed.
"It's you.." The same boys from the dream he had 11
years ago...or was it a dream...it was so hard to remember exactly
what happened...but he remembered the boys perfectly...and they
hadn't changed at all. They were wearing the same black
outfits...one had a sword, the other a scythe. "You are in
danger again, Shinigami." the one with the scythe spoke.
"H-How...do you know I call myself Shinigami?" splutters
Duo. "We've watched you you're whole life, and in any
case...you are Shinigami, the God of Death."
Duo stares at the strange boy in shock, "What? I -am-
Shinigami? What does that mean? Who are you guys and what do you
want?" The blue-haired boy sighed and sat
cross-legged...floating a few feet off the ground, "You are
Shinigami. The God of Death is you. You control the balance
between life, death, and rebirth, without you the whole universe
as we know it will collapse and Time-Space will be destroyed
completely." "There's a lot of other technical stuff, but
you don't need details." says the gold-haired one. Duo
stared, "I must be dreaming.." he muttered. "I
assure you you are not, we need to hurry, Master, the Being is
nearby." the boy with the sword said urgently. The other boy
sighed when Duo didn't respond, "I'll take care of
this.." he said as he raised his scythe. The boy and the
scythe glowed a deep gold color. A thin energy beam went towards
Duo and shroud him in gold light. Suddenly, Shinigami remembered
all.
