1 hour before the beginning of school assembly
A person wearing an old dusty school uniform in tatters, was heading towards the roof. The person was obviously living in an impoverished or a harsh environment as his body was thin, signs of potential malnourishment however what stood out more was the bruises, cuts, injuries littered across his body. His face having been disfigured when he was young, otherwise it could have been considered quite handsome. Massive scars and gashes was littered across his arms, and on his back. Effectively his entire appearance complimented each other portraying a sad appearance of neglect and abuse. Despite this the person had a clear hope within his dead eyes that has seen the cruelty of the world, a clear goal to protect the one he has always loved, to protect the one person that had extended a helping hand, to protect her from the shadows so she can remain untainted within the light. To protect her from the darkness that surrounds the world.
“Just a couple of more steps and I will be free” thought Yami as he was climbing the stairs towards the roof. “Ouch, that still hurts” said Yami as his wounds started to ache painfully, “damn it, it started bleeding again, was the bandage not tight enough” as Yami started to nurse his wounds. He kept on walking towards the top of the school the roof, the only place where he could feel free and calm from his problems, ignoring his pain and hunger he manages to reach his destination the roof.
“i made it finally, man it still hurts but It was worth the pain” murmured Yami. As the winds started to blow calmly, the tree's leaves slowly rustling back and forth, the grass bending over and the breeze whistling through the area. Yami started to immerse himself with the feeling of nature and its tranquilly, feeling at peace he starts to walk closer and closer to the edge wishing to partake of the view from the top. The moment Yami saw the view, he couldn’t speak breathless all he could do was admire the breathtaking view. “....... wow, thats just”.
Being in a state of complete immersion Yami forget all his problems, and his entire surroundings aside from the breathtaking view of nature and its tranquillity was quickly blotted out, because of that Yami didn’t hear the footsteps coming closer and closer. The door suddenly swung open and a figure emerged from it a person dressed in black, silently crept closer and closer to Yami who was in a meditative state, and without warning pushed him off the edge.
“what the” said Yami as he got pushed off from the rooftop and started to fall, forcibly snapping out of his meditative state. “Who the hell did that” yelled Yami with rage as he realised he was going to die only to see a figure dressed in black smiling at him. “YOU” said Yami, “that’s right its me, hahahaha with you gone she would finally be free from the filth that stains her and she will be mine, all mine” said the mysterious figure.

“Never I shall never hand her to people like you who are immersed in darkness,” screamed Yami. “Oh but what can you do now, she has noone left to protect her she shall be mine” said the figure who was smiling. “No the least I can do is this, with my death I hope to see you in prison” said Yami as he was falling faster and faster from the roof top, “HAHAHA who would care about someone like you, the trash of society besides I have connections, HAHAHAHA GOODBYE” said the figure with glee in his voice as he left the roof.
“No I cant let this happen, I have to live somehow” thought Yami as he was getting closer and closer to the ground about 2 metres away, he then tried to grapple a nearby tree branch for support but the only thing he could reach was a small twig that broke instantly, “Damn it, I wish the world and humanity would go and be damned for all of time, who am I kidding I hate the world and humanity cruelty but what I hate the most is my own lack of power ” thought Yami as he resigned himself to his fate.
As he landed straight onto the pavement a loud crunch, sounded across the area. His malnourished and already injured body didn’t stand a chance, his bones was broken upon impact, his organs crushed and blood profusely bleeding out of him everywhere. Yami knew he was going to die soon and despite his incoming doom that was drawing deadly close. As a crowd started to form around his body a figure of a beautiful female crying heavily and saying words he couldnt hear, appeared in his flickering view that was slowly going into the oblivion, he managed to whisper his lasts words before his death “Im sorry, hikari i cant protect you anymore goodbye my light,”.
The moment his last words was whispered Yami body started to cease its functions and started to die, he had fallen into the oblivion.
Suddenly Yami who was in oblivion heard an ethereal voice, that simply said “would you like another chance”. Yami didn’t reply clearly already too deep into the void, until the voice once again said something “If you accept, you would be able to meet her again Hikari, and this time you will have power”. Hearing the name Hikari stirred Yami into action, despite knowing there will be a catch, he couldn’t refuse the chance as he was unwilling to let his regrets go, filled with determination he simply replied “Yes I accept”. The moment on hearing the confirmation the voice said “the contract is complete welcome Yami Desolate the destroyer”
