2 Osiris
The next day it was a normal one in Seiden North High. It was early morning and in class 2-2 some students were still tired and slightly asleep with heads on their tables. Elle sat with Mion while the two talked about the incident yesterday.
"Yeah I heard about it in the news. I didn't know that you witnessed it firsthand." She said to the blonde.
"I was almost run over by the suspect car. Then he came." Elle replied. She still remembered his yellow eyes and his smile.
"He??" Mion said to her. "He who?" she asked.
"I didn't even catch his name. He just walked away." The blonde said to her. "He was so mysterious and yet calm." She added.
Mion saw her friend's face was turning a bit red as she described her savior. She had never seen her friend act this way before.
"I see." She then gave out a sly smile.
Elle noticed this.
"Wh-what?" she said to her friend who still had that expression on her face.
"You're in to this guy, are you? Whoever he is." Mion said to her.
"N-no I'm not!" Elle said to her. "I just feel grateful that he saved me from potential harm." She said to her.
"Right." Mion sarcastically said and that ended their conversation for now.
A few minutes have passed and class 2-2 was already filled with students. The school was livelier now as all the students waited for their homeroom adviser. Elle sat on her seat near the window while Mion this time sat right behind her.
The adviser who was a female teacher already arrived. It would appear that she has an announcement to make.
"Good morning class." She said as she put on her glasses. Her red hair stood out of her standard teacher uniform. She was a bit good looking too.
"Good morning ma'am." They all said to her as they stood up and sat down once again.
The teacher opened her file folder.
"Before I call the roll, I have an announcement to make." She said as her students listened attentively. "We have a new student joining us." She said to them.
This roused the attention of the class just a bit.
"He's formerly from Kanagawa and is a new comer to the district of Shibuya so it would be nice if we gave him a warm welcome here in Seiden North high." The teacher said.
"New student huh?" Mion whispered to Elle. "I feel sorry for him." She added.
"Yeah I mean the new kid always gets picked on." Elle replied with a sigh as she looked around the class room.
She saw the group of guys seated at the back of the room beginning to crumple papers and holding them in their hands. One who had spiky blonde hair and red eyes particularly stood out from the group.
"Atleast, Tetsuya's crew is ready to welcome this kid." Elle whispered to Mion.
The teacher faced towards the door.
"It's okay don't be shy. Feel free to come in." she said. The new student was presumably standing right outside.
At her gesture, the new student made his way inside class 2-2. Immediately it was Elle who was surprised at who she saw.
He had the familiar spiky black hair which was all over the place. The yellow eyes he possessed shone vibrantly as Elle saw it and he was wearing the familiar choker with the ankh symbol on the middle. The school uniform of Seiden North High which consisted of white polo and black slacks really suited him. For his shoes he wore black leather shoes and he had an arm bracer equipped on his right arm.
"No way…" Elle said as she saw the familiar person right in front of her class.
"So please introduce yourself in front of the class." The teacher said to the new student.
"Well uh, I'm Ozi Yamato." He said to the class with a smile. The female population of the class suddenly were mesmerized by him, making him an instant heartthrob in the class.
"Where was your former school?" one of the student's asked him.
"I was homeschooled in Kanagawa. Parents wanted it." He said to her with a smile.
Without hesitation however, Tetsuya stood up from the group and attempted to throw the hard paper ball that he was holding. Ozi however took notice discreetly and as the bully threw the hard piece of paper, the black-haired student immediately ducked feigning like he was going to tie his shoes.
The hard paper ball hit the teacher in the process.
"Sawamura!" the teacher shouted and Tetsuya tried to hide behind his book. "Detention later!" she shouted and the whole class laughed at the bully for his failed attempt.
She then faced the new student who again stood up straight.
"Choose any seat you wish." She said as she tried to smile. The hard paper ball did a number on her.
Ozi looked for a seat as he saw some female classmates trying to get him to seat beside them. He saw a vacant seat beside the platinum-blonde haired student and headed there.
"Is this seat taken?" he asked her with a smile on his face. Elle couldn't answer at first as she tried to hide her blush.
"No, it isn't" She replied while she faced away from him.
Ozi took a seat beside her and the class begun in a normal fashion.
…
…
…
It was already lunch time at the campus. Elle and Mion made their way towards the rooftop where they usually have their lunch.
"That new student is kinda weird." Mion said to her while they were walking.
"I wouldn't say weird." Elle said as she tried to defend him.
"Well he managed to evade Tetsuya's attack; how can you explain that?" she replied to her blonde friend.
"Whatever." She said.
"You're just in to him that's why you're defending him." Mion joked and this brought a slight redness to Elle's cheeks.
"Shut up." Elle then replied.
The two made it to where the rooftop was and they were surprised to see that Ozi was already there. He lay down on the roof platform while he was looking at the skies.
"Oh great." Mion said as she took one rice ball and took a huge bite off of it. "Hey new kid this is our spot." She said to him.
"Sorry." Ozi replied to them. "But it's a free country so I can use this spot too." He said as he was looking at Mion now and he smiled at her.
"D-don't mind her!" Elle said to him in response. "You can hang here if you like." She said as she smiled at him.
Ozi stood up as he stretched out his arms.
"Is school always like this?" he asked the two of them.
"That's a weird question." Mion said to him as she was munching on her food.
"He was homeschooled what do you expect?!" Elle shouted at her thus defending the new student once again.
Ozi smiled as he sighed.
"Half of what they teach here, I know already." He said to them. Mion scoffed at him.
"Look Elle I'ma get some water from the caf." She said as she left the two of them alone for now.
A gentle wind blew against both of the students who were in the rooftop. Elle then stood up and walked up beside the new student.
"You saved me." She said to him while looking at him. "Thank you." She added
Ozi was not looking at her when he heard her say that. He was still preoccupied with looking on to the skies. He smiled at her statement.
"Excuse me?" he said to her and the latter was perplexed at what he said. "I don't believe we have met before." Ozi continued to say.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Elle asked him.
Ozi walked away from her as he was making his way back to the rooftop entrance.
"You've mistaken me for someone else." He said to her as he made his way downstairs.
"N-no way…" she said out loud. "I know it was him, but why would he deny it?" Elle continued to say as she was left alone on the rooftop.
…
…
…
"Death." Ozi said as he made his way out of the school. It was already dismissal time and he was reading a book he got from the library entitled, Death is a Myth. He laughed at it for a while. "It's no myth if you ask me." He said as he was now in the school gate.
"Ozi!" he heard a voice trail behind him. It was the familiar blonde-haired girl who was running after him.
He stopped walking in order for Elle to catch up.
"What is it?" he asked her.
"Why would you deny it?" she said to him.
"Deny what?" Ozi asked with a smile on his face.
"You saved me and you know it!" Elle shouted at him. Ozi had a perplexed look on his face as he saw her act the way she was.
He let out a smile and sighed afterwards.
"I'll be seeing you Elle." He said as he walked away from her.
"Wait!" Elle shouted at him.
"We'll talk some other time!" Ozi shouted at her with a smile and with that the two of them had split up and moved on their way.
…
…
…
"It's so annoying!" Elle said out loud as she walked on home. She took a different route this time since her usual train and taxi route was shut down by the police due to the incident that happened. "Why would he deny it? I know it was him who saved me yesterday!" she said even more.
It had already been night time as she walked in her neighborhood. She held on her books and her small white backpack was hanging from her left shoulder. As she walked on, suddenly she noticed that a faint cold wind blew around her.
"The wind sure is cold today." She said. "The news didn't say that we would have a cold night though." She added.
The blonde dismissed it as just a coincidence but the wind got stronger.
Elle wasn't able to push forward as the winds got stronger around her. There were also traces of dark energy that were being conjured with the wind around her and this again brought fear within her.
"What the hell is going on?!" she said as she hugged her books tighter.
"You should have died that day." An eerie voice said to her.
The blonde looked around but saw that no one was around. It officially began to creep her out.
"Whoever you are just leave me alone!" she said to the voice.
"I'll leave you alone, when I get a hold of your soul…" the voice said.
The blonde ran away as fast as she could but even before she could gain some distance, a person had appeared right in front of her.
He had white hair that reached up to his neck and he wore an all-black jacket that was zipped up. He had white pants on and black leather shoes. His eyes were purple and he had an apathetic look on his face.
"I'm just here to do what was planned from the beginning." He said as he conjured a white rapier in his hand.
Elle was motionless when she saw him draw out a weapon out of thin air. She began to question reality as he drew closer. She tried to move but it was as if she couldn't.
"Time to die." He said as he rushed towards the platinum-blonde haired girl, but then something unexpected happened.
A series of blue flames had appeared between Elle and the assassin and this halted the latter's attack. Footsteps were heard behind Elle and she looked at who was behind her.
His black spiky hair stood out and his yellow eyes shone in the night. He had his hands in his pockets and the familiar choker on his neck with the ankh symbol stood out. The boy had a serious look on his face this time as he was in no mood to play games.
"O-Ozi?" Elle asked while trembling.
Ozi's right arm, which had the bracer on, had the blue fires on it indicating that he was the one that blasted the fires.
"Look who decided to finally join in." the assassin said as he held on his blade.
"Never knew that you were in their game, Cereb." Ozi said as he stood in between Elle and the assassin.
"Well I'm just finishing the job that you failed to do." Cereb replied to Ozi.
"I only deal with the dead." The black-haired teen said to him with a smirk on his face.
"Deal with the dead?" Elle thought to herself.
"You dare test fate?" the assassin said to him.
Elle could not believe what she was witnessing with her own two eyes. The things that she is witnessing now only happens in the manga that she reads and the anime shows that she watches, and to see two super powered beings right in front of her now makes her question the reality of things.
"Fate is boring." Ozi said calmly.
"This coming from you, Death god." Cereb said to him in response.
"Death god?" Elle thought to herself. Cereb took notice of her confused state and let out an evil smile.
"You haven't told her yet?" the assassin said to her.
Ozi simply smiled at his statement.
"Told me what?" she thought to herself.
"That you Ozi, are the Death god known as Osiris, reaper of souls!" Cereb shouted. Ozi didn't budge.
Elle was surprised when she had heard this.
"And now you have broken the law of Fate, I was sent here to punish you Death god and reap on her soul!" Cereb said as darkness energy emerged from his body.
Ozi stretched out his right hand and blue flames had emerged from it. The fires began to take form of a scythe-like weapon and a few more moments had passed as the death god now held on his signature weapon which was a scythe.
The scythe had a metal handle, its head which where the blade had sprouted out had three short claws protruding northward. The blade itself was made of what looked like a metal like material and it was red in color. The end of the handle had a keychain attached to it and at the end of the keychain, there was a skull attached to it.
"We'll see." Ozi said as the battle between him and Cereb was about to ensue.
