A soul for the world

Hello my name is Shido tanaka and that's daisuke takahashi. 

We are from numazu japan but we live in tokyo. We go by many names like the mischievous ones, the freed demons, the laughing devils and more. Something you would want to know is that me and daisuke have powers. Daisuke has super strength and several fighting techniques, although he might be strong on the outside he's soft on the inside. Meaning it's easy to make him feel a certain way. I have the power to make shadows come to life and fight on my command, they can even become anything I want like a portal, human, weapon you name it. Now let's rewind the time to when me and daisuke were chilling on top of a building looking down on a warehouse where people are making counterfeit money. We have huge smiles on our faces but are soon gone when we hide them with our masks. When we do stuff like this we always put music on, and when we press play we are already inside. Daisuke having super strength means he has it all over his body, from his head to his feet. Meaning he is the fastest man alive that I know. Me? I don't possess super speed but in a way I do by making my feet get overcome with dark matter making me run as fast as daisuke. The song we are playing is called sweet dreams. (X-men reference) We don't like giving people like them a chance to react so we hit them hard and fast, to us we are in slow motion, so we kill all of them out, gather all the bills and information they had about the buyer and throw it all in my portal that leads straight home. But before we leave, we blow everything too dust leaving no evidence and because we wanted to. One man made it out alive, I tell daisuke ``hey look this guy made it out alive in one piece”. Daisuke responds with “lucky him”, the guy wakes up and starts freaking out as soon as he sees us. I grab him, take off my mask and tell him “go to the police and tell them everything, if you dont i will kill everyone you know” I then let him go and see him run. Daisuke asks me why I did that, I respond with “to let everyone know who we are”. And leading to him saying “but you didn't tell him what we go by”, I can't help but tell myself that i'm an idiot and we walk through the portal and go home. Now then, being in a world where power exists means that we aren't the only ones who have it. A lot of gangs, groups and organizations have henchmen working for a powerful person that has power. We mess with some of them by stealing from them but there are some we don't mess with. Back at our apartment we find out that our buyer for the counterfeit money wants to meet a port yokohama, so we gather it all in two trucks and drive there. We get to the port and see them waiting for us. Daisuke and I have an off feeling for some reason but we choose to ignore it and we walk to them where they meet us face to face. When we notice someone sitting in the back seat of the car coming out, only to realize that she is the one and only mika the human shinigami. Me and daisuke try to play it cool with her because she is not one to mess with but me and daisuke are thinking that the people we killed were either having a death wish or idiots. If they wanted to make a deal with her over counterfeit money. She looks at us with no intention of being friendly or negotiating the price over the counterfeit money and starts attacking me and daisuke. She is very fast, we can barely dodge her every attack she throws and I scream “Alright then, if it's a fight you want then a fight you'll get” and daisuke comments with  “finally some fun”. She calls onto her people to fight us and we start getting surrounded by almost hundreds of bad guys. At this point we are thinking, does she know who we are and she set us up to kill us? But we ignore everything and start fighting them, we have the upper hand. I bring forth my shadows to help me and daisuke. We beat most of them  to which the shinigami is looking pissed off so she joins in again, she starts throwing stuff at us and begins to go one on one with daisuke. While I stay fighting the guys I'm very impressed that he is putting up a fight with the shinigami. That's until I hear a loud gasp coming from him and when i turn around I see daisuke pierced through the heart with her arm. I feel like something snapped in me and I go numb and fall to the floor. When I wake up I can't feel anything but i can somehow see what's going on and my body has been moving on its own. I see myself but it doesn't look like me, it looks more like a demon with horns. This whole time I've been fighting her and i didnt even notice it. I see her bleeding and with her left arm broken. I see everyone that i was fighting in the beginning dead on the floor. But somehow I managed to take back control of my body and fall to the floor unconscious again. I wake up and see daisuke on the floor still alive but not for long. I try to run to him but my body feels like it's been beaten up so bad to the point where I can't even move but I still gather all my strength and run towards daisuke. I take his hand and start to cry and I tell him “im sorry daisuke if i would have come to help you we would have been done with her right then and there but she escaped”. “It's ok shido, here” he hands me his karambit knife and i hold his hand tightly and i feel his grip loosen more and more. I can't help but stare at him in grief and sorrow, I start to scream the word why. Why did I let this happen? I feel nothing but sadness and anger.


The author's comments:

I love video games and eating, music and spending time with my pug daisy but just because i sound like the lazy type does not mean i dont like reading.

The way i came up with this story is by listening to music and imagining little scenarios of it while the music i listened to played on the background. Like imagining them fighting or hanging out while they played music, both shido and daisuke have the same type of love for music as anybody does. 

I hope you enjoy my story and let me know what you think. I could use the feedback and learn from my mistakes like tony stark.
