## Story

### Lore

Megumi is the elder sister of the Shinigami family. She always took care of her brother Rikard,who suffered a mysterious heart disease,that didn't allow him to do nothing but staying home most of the day. Also,she lost her father in a car accident when she was 8 (and Rikard was 6), the same accident that put her mother in a deep coma. She woke up 5 years later,during which Megumi and Rikard lived with their grampa. Sadly,she wasn't able to walk anymore,and when Megumi's grandpa died(1999),Megumi was the only person who was able to guide her family. She,however,didn't have a strong strength of will:she even considered committing suicide,but that night something happened,that changed her life forever. Rikard had a faint. The hospital couldn't send any ambulance,so she had to bring Rikard to the hospital by herself,with her car. Suddendly,it started raining. Megumi,not being so good at driving, hit a pedestrian,that turned out to be Eiji Shirow. She stopped,begged for pardon,and asked him if he could drive her car to the hospital,because of her "incredible" driving skills. Eiji was going to refuse,but when Megumi started crying,he accepted and drove her car to the hospital. The 2 ended up together,and Eiji even became Rikard's best friend.

### Chronology

One day,Eiji came her home with a huge amount of money,saying he won the lottery and that he was able to pay both the operations on Rikard and Megumi's mother.Megumi was suspicious,but she never asked from where that money actually came from...

Rikard recovered quickly from his disease. One day,Megumi and Eiji brought him on a field trip outside the city. When Rikard was completely out of energy,Eiji decided to stay with him,and Megumi told them that she'll be waiting for them at the car. She ran forward,but she found a man with a killer look. The man introduced himself as Tetsuya Kirazaki,and told to his mate,a young man with blue eyes,to kill her,in order to lure Eiji Shirow there. Megumi was scared,but managed to avoid the martial arts attacks executed by the young man. Then she ran out of control,jumped on the man's head,and showed her powers for the first time,by burning his back with an explosion of blue flames. He recovered from the hit,grabbed her and ran away from an angered Tetsuya. He later introduced himself as Masaki Hikage,and tried to explain to Megumi something about her powers,but some soldiers from a mysterious organization showed up,knocked down Masaki and kidnapped Megumi. She woke up some days later in a tube,submerged by a strange liquid.She was numb,and the only thing she was able to see was a reflection of herself - but her eyes weren't blue anymore,but red as fire. She then realized that she was under some kind of experiment,and thought she would never see again the light of the day.

She was wrong.

1 year later,the laboratory was in an emergency state:one of theirs guinea pigs escaped,and started blowing away all their instruments. He started breaking most of the tubes,being one of them, the one where Megumi was held. She looked at the man,who was still continuing his destruction opera,and recognized him,behind his silver hair and red eyes:her brother!"He came here to save me",she thought,but she suddendly realized that one of the blasts was going towards her.She thought she was going to die,but the blast dissolved right before her.

When she opened her eyes,her brother was gone,and so were almost all the scientists in the lab. The remaining ones tried to escape,but she killed them without any hesitation.She then realized what she did,thus becoming very scared of herself. She then looked herself in a mirror:she didn't look at all like she was before the experiments started...she was somehow younger,and her eyes had a purple-ish hue.Then she took a look at the computer monitors,and realized what was going on:their experiments awakened her true self:a powerful goddess,the one that would take full control of her body every time she felt scared or unsure. She didn't have any clue on how to stop it,but remembered about Masaki and what he was trying to say.She then started looking for him,while trying to hide herself from Rikard and Eiji,to know what she had to do to seal her true self forever.

Your will is strong to have read all of this. Let's continue.
