It has been weeks since Aske has seen people. They just walk by, content with there lives. He thought they have no idea how good they have it. 'I have to fight for my food they practically get it handed to them'. Aske finally searches for somewhere to quench the thirst of his exhaustion.
"Hello, what is this?" Aske's Shinigami says with his deep voice pointing towards one of the branching paths. Aske notices the shadow of a large man being choked by someone where his Shinigami pointed.
"He's killing him" Aske says with his throat drying out and his heart starting to beat like a drum. He runs grabbing a piece of twisted metal that was laying on the ground. He jumps into the street where he sees the two men the assaulter was wearing a clean suit while the choked was a beggar that Aske had met earlier that day. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Aske screams with all his might.
"What are you going to do?" said the man almost humored as he pulls out a gun. Aske diving behind the dumpster as the man thingyed the pistol. He fires two rounds into the dumpster both missing Aske by a hair. Then nothing Aske hears the trigger being pulled but nothing happened.
"I believe his gun is jammed" said the Shinigami with a voice that sounded as if he couldn't care less. Aske takes advantage of the moment and hops on top of the dumpster running with the metal object at hand. He dives for the man and gets a clear hit to the head. The man falls over instantly, but he pulls himself up and retrieves a dagger from the inside of his suit. Aske takes another swing but man parries out of the way and stabs Aske in the leg.
"AGH!!" Aske screams as the polished metal dives into his leg. The man tries to slice Aske with the dagger aiming for the throat but Aske hits the mans arm with his weapon. The man drops the dagger and runs trying not to trip over himself. "I'll get you for this" the man yells as he disappears into the darkness.
"Thank you" the beggar says as he massages his throat. "He could of killed me it wasn't for you." The beggar turns around and no one is to be seen the only thing he saw was trail of blood leading off into the darkness.

Abel wandered aimlessly, engaged in a conversation with Serendipity, her Shinigami. She stopped walking when a bleeding man ran past her. "Name, please, Seren?" she asked, opening a black notebook she was holding. He gave it to her and she wrote it down. Forty seconds later, the man fell to the ground, dead, but she didn't see, she walked as she wrote, making it seem that she did not know he had died.
"Anyway, you shouldn't let the other students bother you. It's mostly because of their own insecurities," Seren said, looking down at her.
"I know," Abel replied, "but I can't help it. I told you my parents homeschooled me. I never learned how to handle it." She stopped when she noticed two men. One looked as if he had been strangled and the other looked like he'd helped him. "Maybe we should go," she whispered.
"Don't worry," Seren said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry to have walked in on...whatever you two are doing," she told the two men, turning to leave.

Aske turns around to see a girl ready to walk away. "Wait," he said trying to lift himself up using the piles of trash as support. "Can you help me, please? I have been badly wounded." he finally said with a wavering voice before he collapsed back on to the ground.

Abel looked at the men, then beside her at her Shinigami. He nodded to her and she nodded once to the man who asked for help. She opened her messenger bag and pulled from it, rubbing alcohol, bandages, and an old rag that forever smelled of rubbing alcohol. She poured the liquid onto the rag, looked at the wound and then up at the men's eyes. "This will sting. Whatever you were stabbed with wasn't disinfected properly," she warned, placing the soaked rag onto the wound.

"I don't exactly think he cared for what would happen to the wound." Aske said as he examined the knife looking for a initial or anything to identify the man. "Thank you for helping me Miss .... I'm sorry I don't think we have been properly introduced. I am Aske Katsumi." he said as he clenched his teeth from the burning alcohol.

"Thank you for helping me Miss .... I'm sorry I don't think we have been properly introduced. I am Aske Katsumi."
Abel didn't look up from the wound as she spoke. "I only helped you because you asked. You may call me Abel and only Abel."
"A little cold don't you think, Miss Renmara?" Seren asked.
Hush, Serendipity! she thought, glaring at the wound. "I'll have to stitch the wound closed," she said, pulling a needle and thread from her messenger bag. She sewed the wound closed, bit the thread, making it snap, and wrapped it with bandages. "There," she said, placing everything back into her bag and stood up. "Is there anything else you need?"

"Actually yes. Have you seen a man wearing a suit, possible wounded? He is the one that attacked this man here." Aske said pointing to the beggar. "He ran off in the direction you came from. Any clue of where he went would be much obliged." he said as he helped the beggar up off the ground.

Yes, I killed him, she thought. "Yes, he ran right by me and collapsed. I wanted to help him, but there was a chance he was faking, so, I kept walking."

"Where is he?" Aske said. You are no better than me the words of his deceased father had said rang through his head.
"Are you sure you wish to ask for you may not be pleased with what you find." Aske's Shinigami said.
Am I no better than my father? What if he's dead? But how? Aske thought in a panic. "Please, please tell me, where did he collapse?"

"He's that way," Abel said, looking in the direction she'd come from.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Seren asked, looking at Aske's Shinigami.
He doesn't know my last name! And if he has a Death Note and Shinigami eyes, then I'll just become a Shinigami early. I won't be missed.

Aske ran to where Able had pointed, not long after he saw the fallen body of the man he just fought. Aske slid next to the body and grabbed his limp wrist. You are no better than me the words of his father bellowed louder than ever before. He felt for a pulse. But all he felt was cold flesh against his fingers.
"He's dead," Aske said dumb struck. "No, NO he can't be dead. I didn't mean to kill him." His throat becoming tighter with each word passing through it.
"Yes it seems that you were able to kill him, and without the death note." Aske's shinigami said as he looked down upon the corpse.
"No I didn't mean for anyone to die," Aske said with his voice almost dissipated. "For all I know he could have been defending himself. No blood had to be spilled on this day. I am no better than my father." He said followed by a silence broken only by the surrounding city.

"Relax," Abel said walking calmly up to the dead body. She pulled a cell phone out of her pocket. She dialed the hospital's number and put it up to her ear. "Yes, we have another victim of Kira. He was wounded, I'd say in a fight, but I'd say... Yes, he was on the news last night. I don't know his name... The heart attack did him in... No, I did not preform my own autopsy... I got the talent from my mother, sir... Thank you, I'll do as you instructed. Good-bye."
She closed her cell and looked at Aske. "Did you hear that? You didn't kill him. He had a heart attack."

"I didn't?" Aske said trying to pull himself together. "But how could you tell from just looking at him?" Aske tried to get up as a horn of an ambulance whaled off in the distance.

"Back in America, my mom worked for a hospital. She had a talent to determine the cause of death before a coroner could. She saw a special aura. I got it from her. Even in death, a human gives off an aura that I can sense. It's tells me alot about a person's past. I can't explain it very well," Abel said, looking at her Shinigami. "Let's see," she said, looking back at Aske. "You have a Shinigami following you around... Does that mean you possess one?"

His eyes widened instantaneously, "How did you know I have a shinigami following me?" He than whispers to his shinigami, "I thought you said only I can see you. How can she, you two haven't even been within meters of each other."
"This is something even I do not know but you can only hope that this does not cause any foulness to come upon us." the Shinigami said.
They both look back to the girl wondering what this one night shall bring to their futures.

"Do you honestly think that was smart," Abel's Shinigami asked.
"Oh, no one will belive them if they tell, Seren. Humans are very closed minded," Abel whispered.
"So, Shinigami, do you like any type of human food?" she asked, tossing Seren an apple.

"Yes, I enjoy apples but the weeks of hiding with Aske without much food has made me accustomed of not having many of the delicacies." his shinigami said.
"Don't tell her that what if is one of them that are on the hunt for me?" Aske hissed at his shinigami.
"Fear not, she is not one of them I can tell."

"Would you like one?" she asked, pulling an apple from her bag.
"Be careful, Abel," Serendipity warned, "I'd be wary of these two if I were you."
"Don't worry, Seren. His aura will tell me if he plans anything," she whispered.

"Yes, please kind human." the shinigami said as he outstretched his arm.
Aske tried not to speak, as he carefully watched over the situation. And finally as the adrenaline stopped coursing through his veins and the true pain from the knife set in but he tried to mask this so not to bring attention to himself. "But to answer your question, no I do not see an aura around other beings as you do even with my shinigami." Aske finally replied.

"Well, you and Aske are both welcome in my home as guests any time." Abel gave the Shinigami the apple. She looked at Aske. "You're in pain, Aske. Here, have my lunch and take this. It'll help the pain. And I know you can't, only my mother and I ever could."
"Abel, what's the matter, my dear?"
"I'm not feeling well, is all. 'Tis nothing to worry over," she whispered.
