Moon of a Fallen
Chapter 1
The Dream
A girl sat silently by herself watching the moon at night her wings shone in the moon light, the starry sky had been her comfort all these years. Tonight was her night, this year was her year as a representive of the Goddesses. She would do the ritual tonight... at 12 o'clock it was nearly dawn she'd have to pass this day first. She jumped off the tree then walked slowly and silently into the night.
"Beep Beep Beep!" Shiku awoke with a start, such an odd dream, from what she knew, her night as Death Goddess was a long time away. She was the present Death Goddess, but the year of the Death Goddess was well off. Shiku looked at the mirror the girl in the mirror was nothing like the girl in her dream, the girl in her dream had long silky black hair with silver highlights, her eyes were clear silver like the shining stars at night, with a determined look in them. The girl she saw in the mirror however, had long tangled up black hair with brown highlights most of it hanging in front of her face. Her eyes were tired with bags under them bluish black like the color of the night, yesterday had been a long day for her, Saki, her little sister at the age of 7 had been sick with a fever all night, she stayed up to stay with her, but fell asleep in the end never the less.
She rubbed her eyes tiredly, she could hear from the next room the music busting in the morning, that meant Shi was up already. Shiku took out her brush and brushed her hair slowly, and then started applying lip gloss to her dry lips. She started getting dressed while listening to the music in the next room.
" Have you forgotten... everything, have you forgotten everything, have you forgotten... yeah, yeah. Have you forgotten..." Then the radio got turned off, Shiku opened the door of her room, looked back for a split-second at the mirror, and she saw a totally different girl, much more like the girl in the dream.
She heard Tatsaki calling her from the kitchen downstairs, "Shiku! Breakfast is ready!" Shiku took the keys from her dresser then started down the stairs. Shi sat on the chair at the kitchen table, eating pancakes. Shiku saw an empty seat next to Shi with a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee on the side. She sat down on the chair.
Shi grinned, "Well, look who finally woke up!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah Shi laugh just laugh," Shiku muttered, " That was only because I wasn't the one that fell asleep before Saki did."
Tatsaki took a pancake from Shiku's plate and took a bite from it, "So did Saki get any better?"
Shiku bit from her pancake too and took a minute to savor the taste and the warmth, " Yeah, her fever is gone, she should be fine right after she wakes up today," Shiku glanced at the clock, "Crap, its already 6:30! I'm going to be late!" Today Shiku had classes at Fallen High and the Ninja Academy early, she put the pancake in her mouth and smashed her books into her bag. Then went to the door.
" Oh and if Shuyu comes ask her to stay till 3 please I have classes until like... 4 pm." Shiku called behind her then slammed the door shut. "Ooh... oww" Tatsaki said rubbing her ear.
Shiku checked the school's clock after finally getting to school, " 6:45, good right on time..." Shiku sighed, relieved. She set her bag down against the wall in the classroom, then ran outside. Her first class was gym, basicly flying, dodging and other things a Fallen would need. When she was before the students, they had shocked expressions on their faces, she was their teacher, she was only 17 years old or so they thought she was actually over a million years already, being recarnated once after another.
"Well, I'm your teacher, Shiku Usachi." Shiku said.
They all answered, "Hello Miss Usachi,"
Shiku twitched, " Geez... just call me Shiku for gods sakes!" She was younger than some of them actually only her human years counted for each life so this life she was, what? 17? She had graduated early, but at the top of her class. She was one of the Usachis the clan that everyone knew as a powerful clan.
The guys at the back of the room snickered, she glanced at them, and she recognized one of them, his name was Atsuki, a boy that was her friend last year, he was powerful as well, he volunteered to be held back he was supposed to graduate early like Shiku was supposed to be, he decided to stay behind because his friend, Sutaku stayed behind as well.
A voice came from the class, "Uhh, Miss Usa-- I mean Shiku, aren't you supposed to be teaching class now?" The voice came from a girl named Sakura, who most people called Saku. She had long Dark blue hair with Greenish blue eyes, in her hair she had 2 light purple flowers.
"Oh right, uhh... well first you do this.... then this..." Shiku started showing her students some advanced flying moves after 30 minutes she finally yelled "BREAKTIME!"
Shiku checked the clock it was only 6:55, the students started rushing everywhere to get with friends, get something from their school bag, whatever. Shiku walked past the Art room and saw Shi in there, " Shi!" Shiku called out.
Shi turned her head to see Shiku, " Hey Shik-Chan," She greeted.
Shiku asked, " Hey, do you wanna do something after we get home?"
" Sure why not?" Shi replied, and then added, "That is... If I can bring a few friends."
"Oh, okay who are they?" Shiku questioned.
" Oh just some people that you know, like Atsuki, Saku and Sutaku," Shi shrugged.
The bell rang again, 5 minutes were over time to get back to class, Shiku dashed through a hallway to get to get to her class, she dashed faster and faster then she bumped into someone.
" Oww!" Shiku rubbed her head. She recognized who the other person was, it was Atsuki.
" Sorry, Shik-Chan," He apolodgized.
" Ahh, its alright, " Shiku grinned.
" Late to class again?" Atsuki laughed.
" Yeah yeah yeah, just laugh, just laugh," Shiku muttered. She dashed off to class, she arrived there just before the class bell rang (the bell that rang before was the 5 minute bell).
Shiku gasped for breath, she had ran the whole way. She was teaching history now, which she enjoyed because that particular lesson, was on her family, the Usachi family. She read aloud from the book called Famous Fallens, from the chapter Fallen Goddesses it had a chart on it that looked like this:
Shiku Usachi - Death Goddess, age presently 17
Shuyu Yuyta - Ice Goddess, age presently 19
Shijinto Usachi - Darkness Goddess, age presently 18
Tatsaki Usachi - Life Goddess, age presently 16
Suki Usachi - Moon Goddess, age presently 17
Shiku went on teaching class until 1:00 pm when the bell rang to go home, she gathered up her papers in the classroom, while the only person left was Atsuki.
Shiku inquired, " Aren't you going to leave?"
" Yeah, but you know since we are going to the same place I figured we could go together?" Atsuki asked.
Shiku smirked, "What you want a date with me or something?" She teased.
" Yes, my dear," Atsuki grinned.
Shiku laughed silently, last year they had done this so much that everyone had thought that they were really going-out. Shiku checked the clock, 1:15, they could make it to the Ninja Academy if they flew, she walked out the classroom but before going out the door she looked back and said, " Well aren't you going to go with me?"
Shiku spread her beautiful wings out and felt the wind blowing on them, she watched Atsuki do the same, her wings were white tinted with a bit of grey while Atsuki's were black. She took off into the air, the air in her face was great, she looked to Atsuki and saw that he was a ways ahead of her.
" OH NO YOU DON'T!" Shiku yelled. She increased her speed just enough to be infront of Atsuki, Atsuki quickly got the lead again though. They raced all the way to the Ninja Academy, in the end though Atsuki won.
Atsuki cheered, " Okay drinks tonight you're treating, Shik-Chan"
" Fine, fine, fine ," Shiku grinned.
When she entered the classroom, she heard several whispers, apparently they had all seen her and Atsuki together.
There were things like " Ohh... Are Miss. Usachi and Atsuki going out?" She grinned, she could hear it all.
She smirked, " Okay students firstly call me Shiku, and secondly stop talking about me and my boyfriend, it's none of your business,"
Many of the girls giggled and the boys in the back of the room (many that were friends with Atsuki) snickered.
Shiku grinned, " Now would you rather talk about this or listen to the lesson?"
" Talk about this!" they all echoed one after another.
" Ahh, well TOO BAD, " Shiku smirked. She carried on to teach the lesson, at 4:00 she was FINALLY done, the bell rang she gathered up her papers again, and didn't notice that Atsuki was standing in the door way.
Atsuki smirked and walked up to Shiku and put his arms around her waist, " Need help my dear?"
Shiku blushed ,startled she turned around the other way, " U-uhh y-yeah, sure," Shiku stammered.
Atsuki still had his arms around her waist as he helped her to pick up the papers that way.
Atsuki asked her " Wanna go home with me?"
Shiku grinned, " Okay Sweetie, one moment though," She opened the door to a separate room to get her other things.
Atsuki curiously walked up behind her, Shiku turned around and gasped when her lips met his. Atsuki closed his eyes and started pulling her into the kiss, Shiku started closing her eyes as well, but then the 10 minute bell rang, there were only 10 more minutes before they'd lock all the school doors. Shiku pulled away first, not wanting it to end, then put her fingers on her lips,
'Did they... really?'
-----------------------------------------------------------
As they flew home from the Ninja Academy Shiku's brain was going crazy and she was still blushing like crazy as she was flying, she turned to Atsuki, then when Atsuki glanced at her she turned her head around, avoiding his glance. Atsuki thought to himself, ' Heh, Shiku sure is a good kisser,' Then he smirked then flew on, he looked at Shiku and opened his mouth to say, " Hey Shik-Chan don't forget that tonight you are treating drinks, " Then his voice sounded even more smug, " Just you and me..."
Shiku's eyes widened in shock, she had forgotten all about that! She tried to sound as casual as she could at the time, " Uhh... yeah sure Atsuki!"
Shiku slammed the door shut as she got home, and then thought to herself, ' Holy shit... I kissed Atsuki! He is a damn good kisser though...' She shook her head to get the thoughts out of her mind. She had an age long crush on Atsuki for like forever, she couldn't believe it.
Shi saw Shiku at the door just standing there and enjoying the moment, Shi smirked, " Hey Shiku, what happened today that makes you so happy?"
Shiku froze, then as casual as she could hiding the blush that was still there she said, " Ahh uhh, nothin," Unluckily for her, Shi knew her better than that though, she raised her eyebrow and said sarcasticly, " Sure sure sure, whatever you say,"
Shiku felt a slight chill, that meant Shuyu was here, she was a full fledged Goddess, Goddess of Ice and Snow. Shuyu bust open the door, " Konnichiwa!" Shuyu called down the halls of the Usachi estate, there was an echo of hellos down the hall and upstairs.
Shuyu saw Shiku right away, "Ahh good just who I was looking for," Shuyu said.
" Uhh... Hi? What's up?" Shiku greeted.
Shuyu eyed Shiku straight in the eye, " Ahh nothin, you have a mission though, its to go out into the forest there and go in the Den of the Dragons and slay the Dragon of Death, thats all, oh... and you'll bring people with you. You will bring, Sutaku, Saku, Atsuki and Shi," Shuyu said a matter of a factly.
Shi's ears perked up from hearing her name. " Yeah so what happened?" Shi asked, Shuyu explained to her the mission again.
Shiku's eyes landed on the clock, " SHIT! I'm going to be late! Bye people!" Shiku rushed out the door.
