The lone problem child chapter 1

PROLOGUE

He loved it there. It was kind of fun to him; being able to fight monsters and demons. But he was no longer in that world, because it was time for him to leave. He would miss his friends.

Kusakabe, Asuka, Rin, and even Black Rabbit (as strict as she could be). He loved his friends….all of them, but it was time to go; there was no one left to challenge his might.

He had asked to leave this world, for it was now at peace, and to be sent to a new one that may provide even more fun. He remembered a bright light, and his body being lifted from the ground, and then…...silence.

Chapter 1: The Capitol

Izayoi Sakamaki, the problem child, awoke with a slight groan as his eyelids slowly opened to reveal a star-lit sky. He turned over onto his back and proceeded to stand up. "Ugh...where am I? Is this suppose to be the so-called next world."

He said as he panned the surrounding environment. He was standing in the middle of what looked to be a small park with lush green grass and flowers. He also noticed that he seemed to be somewhere in the center of a small town, which, due to nobody behind in sight, made him believe that everyone was asleep.

He yawned and began to follow a winding stone rode. After a few minutes of walking around and admiring the scenery, Izayoi came to a stop after hearing what sounded like a horse.

He turned and looked behind him to see a carriage approaching with, what seemed to be, two horses pulling it in tow. He continued to watch the upcoming carriage with dreary eyes as it slowly came to a stop and parked itself right in front of him.

He stared at it for a while with an uninterested face and soon witnessed a very small and very young girl get out. She was a short blonde girl wearing a small light blue skirt with brown boots.

She quickly walked up to him with an adorable smile and said, "Hi." Izayoi looked at her with a hint of surprise, "hey.", he returned. She giggled, "You look very cold. Would you like to come with me? My parents and I have warm and comfortable rooms, and you seem like you could use a place to stay for the night. What do ya say?"

Izayoi was cold and had been since he got to this place. Would it really hurt if he took the girl up on her offer?….probably not. "Sure", he finally said with a smile, "I didn't have any money to pay for a place to stay anyway, so count me in!"

The girl flashed a bright smile and led Izayoi into the carriage. When he got in, Izayoi noticed another boy about his age sitting in the seat opposite him. The boy, like the young girl, had a wide smile he was wearing, and he quickly stuck out his hand to Izayoi saying,

"Hey, my name is Tatsumi! What's yours?" Izayoi was surprised by the boy's trusting nature, but he simply smiled back and shook the boy's hand, saying, "My name is Izayoi. Izayoi Sakamaki."

When the carriage arrived and the two boys got out of the car, they were awed at the size of the house. "Wow!", Tatsumi said, "This is amazing! Just how rich is your family?!"

Izayoi examined the large structure and let out a low whistle. The little girl simply smiled and said, "Follow me! I wish to introduce you to my parents." Tatsumi and Izayoi both followed the giggling little girl as she entered the mansion.

She introduced them to her parents and they talked for quite a while. Soon, Izayoi learned a little bit about Tatsumi after he heard the boy's backstory about his home and his friends.

Then it was time to go to bed, and even though he wasn't truly tired, he made an effort to go to sleep in preparation for the next day.

THE NEXT DAY

Izayoi woke up the next morning and learned that him and Tatsumi were going to go shopping for some odd reason. He simply shrugged and agreed to go along with it. During the rest of the day, as he watched Aria (he discovered he name from the previous night) and Tatsumi go shopping, he began to wonder why he was sent to this world.

Nobody appeared to be strong, well at least not strong enough to challenge him. So, then...why was he here? Izayoi sighed as he continued to walk next to the guards that were assigned to protect Aria.

He then overheard a conversation between Tatsumi and some guard regarding a rogue group of assassins. "Woah, woah, woah", he said as he interrupted the guard's next sentence, "what's this about assassins?" The guarded looked at him, with a bit of irritation on his face.

"Night Raid", he said as he pointed to a wanted poster, "they're a group of assassins who move in the dead of night ,killing anyone and everyone who gets in their way." Izayoi looked at the poster, "They look powerful", he finally said, "they might be worth my attention."

The guard stared at him for a second then continued to walk.

After Aria had finished shopping, the sky was beginning to darken, and they returned to the mansion. On their way there, Izayoi couldn't help but think about Night Raid and how fun it would be to fight them, but, as he knew, no such fun existed in worlds like these.

Once, they returned to the mansion, Izayoi and Tatsumi said goodnight and went to bed. However, sometime during the night, Izayoi awakened from his sleep; he felt a weird presence.

He quickly got out of bed and zoomed out of the room. He knew what this feeling was, for he had experienced it many times himself,...Bloodlust. He used his speed to race down the hallways and through the corridors until he finally came to a stop.

He peered through the darkness at a body lying motionless on the ground, and he began to slowly walk toward it. It was Aria's mother. The light from the moon shined eerily on the bloody object, which, if one looked closely enough at, was shown to be torn in half.

But he wasn't fazed by the display of gore; he had killed a few people as well in past times. But this was different. This was merciless. He looked up just in time to see Tatsumi round the corner and come sprinting to his side.

"Oh my god! Who did this?", he asked as he looked at Izayoi who was busy staring at something out the window. "Well I'm no genius(he really is), but I think it might have been them.", Izayoi said as he pointed out the window.

Tatsumi followed his finger, and there, standing on what looked like wires, was a group of five people. Tatsumi gritted his teeth and uttered one word: "Night Raid".
