Chapter 2: 02 (Duo's POV)

Let's just face the facts. I call myself Shinigami as I AM Shinigami.
I have taken more lives than anyone can think. Therefore I have earned
that title. I don't lie, not anymore. I gave up lying years ago. Even
before I became Duo Maxwell.

I have changed drastically. I doubt even Kurama is able to recognise
me now. Hn, Kurama. I wonder how he is doing right now. for the matter,
who he is. Knowing Koenma, He'll find a way to bring the Yuusuke-tachi
back together. I hope that baka Kuwabara won't even be NEAR me.

Those who really thought they know me well enough, well don't know
that much. I have lived long enough. My skills have improves alot.
I am or was an S-class youkai. Since i'm no longer who i was, the
name Hiei wore down in the Makai. True, I'm notorious in some places
but Mokuro, being the bitch she was, tried to kill me.

~*~*~*~*~

It was a really hot day at the Ningenkai, not that i've noticed. I was
taking a nap on my favourite branch when all of a sudden, this youkai
attacked me! I wasn't anticipating such an attack since:
1) I was an S-class, My aura is enough to ward off any attack.
2)I'm in the Ningenkai for god's sakes! What the hell was Koenma
doing up there? taking a momentary holiday?!?

The youkai That attacked me was of a lower A-class. I was an S-class,
so I didn't worry that much. Yet this "that much" had caused me my
life. This youkai had powers that even I didn't anticipate.
Invisibility, illusion and awesome strength. All I have encountered
seperatly, but not ALL at once!?!

The youkai had a humanoid form. It has a long sweeping tail, reptilian
wings and ears that stick out from the side of his head. It fought
with a scythe. Shots of projected ki hit me deadly accuracy.

I was fast, very fast. Yet this youkai caught up with me as if he was
just JOGGING! He hit me with a well-timed punch striaght in the gut.
The blow shocked me, making me stop in mid step. He took the
opportunity and hit me with all that he had. He hit my forehead,
close to my eyes. I was blinded. Both my jagan and my real eyes were
injured. From then on, I could only feel. Every punch i took, every
bruise i gained, i slipped more into unconciousness. Everything was
an aura of pain. I couldn't guard myself. A well-placed punch hit the
back of my cranium. Every thing went black.

I had regained conciousness a while later. With blurry eyes I saw the
youkai standing above me. His mouth a smirk, eyes a murderous gleam.
I knew I was about to die.

"That was easier than I thought. Mokuro is really underestimating me.
" he gloated. I was filled with fury. My body refused to move.
Actually I couldn't feel much of my body left. 'Must've injured my
spine.'I thought.Using my last bit of strength, I used the Kokuryuuha
and incinerated the youkai. My body was too weak to withstand the
summoning of the Kokuryuuha. My body was too mutilated, too harmed to
be mended quickly. I slowly, painfully, sank back to the darkness,
waiting for death.

'This is my last time on Earth. Now, I'm going to die. I don't regret
dying. There is no one that would miss me. NO! I'm going to accept it.
The pain was suddenly realised. It filled my mind total torture that
barely one could take at a go. I surrender to the darkness. I don't
want to live anymore.

"HIEI!!!"

'Yukina!' I thought. My mind slipped back to its proper place. 'I
cannot die! I must live, for Yukina and Kurama... KURAMA!' I've
suddenly remembered Kurama's 'self-reincarnation'. I lifted my dying
soul away to roam until myu body has mended itself. Until then, I
lived in the Ningenkai as Duo Maxwell. My new life wasn't any better.
But smiling helps to make things better.
