Chapter One: Shadow
Normal POV

"Kage! Kage, wake up!" Her somewhat of a mother called up the stairs "You don't want to be late for your first day at a new school!"


How many times had she heard that? A new school...Again...Terrific. Kage had moved around all too often, and was growing quite sick of the idea; flopping around from one place to another.


She had long ago given up being nervous about going to a home or school where she knew absolutely no one. To put it simply, she didn't care whether people liked her. It just didn't seem to matter anymore. She would be moved again soon anyway, so why bother to make friends when she would just have to leave them behind again? She never did return to a place she left.


She never got along with the family that took her in. They always ended up sending her back to the orphanage one way or another. Whenever a family would come and adopt her after being told why she was there, they would say that they would be different. That they could help her. Well they thought there was something wrong with her, the way she had always been antisocial. Kage had always been a little cold and detached, lost in her own thoughts.


Kage wasn’t what you could call a normal girl; and in more ways than one. In addition to being the most unusual and most would even venture to say unfriendly girl you will ever meet, Kage had a secret. A secret she had never told anyone. Kage was a demon. Not just any common demon either. She was a dark phoenix demon; one of the rarest in all the Makai -also called Demon World by those who know of its existence -


Some say that a phoenix demon will live over one thousand years. - Kage wasn't quite sure how old she was. She though somewhere in the late two- hundreds- There was however, something even more to Kage; she was a dark phoenix. This particular breed appears only once every few thousand or so years.


Its true origins are unknown. Even in Spirit World. However, a few rumors floating around from time to time say that the powers of this breed are so great that they could destroy an entire world. Although, nothing has ever been proved, it didn't stop some other demons from chancing the Spirit Detectives in Ningengkai. -called Human world by some- To most demons, such power can be very alluring.


Even if this power did exist, it would need to be harnessed first. Gaining control of such an enormous power would prove to be an extremely difficult task. Most would think it impossible.


Kage however wasn't aware of this seemingly great sleeping power within her. For some strange reason, she couldn't remember hearing such stories. Or ever being in the Makai for that matter. All she knew was that she was a two hundred something year old rare phoenix that every demon that had somehow slipped into the Ningenkai was after. She had always thought they were after her because she was such a rare breed, wanted for pursuer's own selfish reason.


Well...there were those fragments of strange memories that floated around in the back of her mind from time to time. She would sometimes see two demons standing near a small cottage in a forest. Probably in the Makai. She wasn't sure how she could tell but, they did not appear to be of the same breed as her. Though, she did look an awful lot like them. Most likely her parents. The long black hair of her mother, and the silver eyes of her father. They both seemed to stand five feet and maybe around eight inches tall.



Kage herself stood nearly five feet, but not quite. She was still growing, however, she never could figure out where it was that she had gotten her height from. Probably from that rare breed of hers.


Now Kage, being as stubborn as she is, would never let the demons try to take her without a fight. She could handle the weaker ones easily, but a few of them weren't such pushovers. She had to pay a small price for her long kept freedom. So she would often return to her "family" with cuts, scratches, or bruises. This always seemed to be part of the reason they seen her back to the orphanage. They didn't want a troublemaker for a child.


Kage would never tell where she had gotten her injuries, so her "parents" would simply assume she got them in a fight with another teenager. She would always dress the wounds herself; taking extra precaution not to reveal any claw marks or such her opponent might have given her. Obviously, this would arouse suspicion about what was really going on. Kage didn't want to have to waste her time making up lies when she could be plotting the demise of other students that always seemed to be staring at her. That was much more fun.


Well, to day was her first day at a school called Sarayashiki Jr. High, and as always, she was not looking forward to it. The first day was always the absolute worst. Everyone would always stare and whisper. Sometimes, she would hear things like "Who's the girl in black, the new kid?" or "Why isn't she wearing a uniform?"


Now needless to say, Kage was a tomboy. She didn't approve of the girls dress code, having to wear skirts, or those stupid sailor shirts. So, she always wore her usual black baggy jeans and sleeveless shirt to mach.


However, she never went anywhere without her black jacket. On the back, was a large, elegant, black bird engulfed in crimson and amber flames, outlined in silver of course, to mach her eyes. She had found it in a store called Crescent Ebony (I just made this up. I couldn’t think of any other name!) a few years back. Even though it was extremely expensive, she knew she had to have it. It matched her perfectly.


So, she reluctantly heaved herself out of bed. After glancing at her clock which read 6:48, she slipped into her favorite pair of black baggy pants with many zippers and loop rings that didn’t seem to have any purpose at all except for fashion. She sifted through her drawers and found a sleeveless shirt with a pair of white, flapping wings on the front. Last, she grabbed her jacket, and pulled it on. Then started to come downstairs for breakfast.
"Damn. I hate first days." Kage said aloud, eyeing the bedroom window, barely resisting the urge to leap out onto the roof to freedom.
