A/N: I admit I am messing with his backstory a bit, but he seems like that kinda guy to me. More chaotic good or true neutral than evil. Cliche how he ended up in the manga, this is more of a reimagining I guess?
He felt a probing at the back of his mind, the feeling steadily growing stronger every second. He knew what it was; the tentacles calling out to him, finally having broken the last bastion of safety he had left, his mind. He had been able to ignore their call, more focused on getting Aguri out of that place safely than anything else at the moment. Now, however, he was alone with no one but himself and his thoughts in the darkness he had retreated to. He didn't care that much; he knew it was only a matter of time before they took hold of him completely. He let the intrusive thoughts pervade his mind, blocking out all other thought until they were the only things he could focus on.
"What do you want to become? Just wish it, and it shall be granted..." He knew they weren't really speaking, invading the privacy of his mind and consciousness to make him think they were. He didn't care; he just answered them with an honest sincerity, images of the woman he had come to know the past year floating through his mind. What did he want to become? He already was the world's most powerful assassin, known all over by the moniker The Grim Reaper or God of Death, depending on the country and culture. He was tired of that life however; though he was not naive enough to hope that a peaceful existence would be easy for him to attain. He had enemies; many of them powerful, and knew he had gained quite a few more thanks to his little stunt. They would not sit idly by; they would see him as a threat and wish to get rid of him. He was fine with that, somewhat, feeling that it was part of a penance for his past life, for all the lives he had taken since then. That was fine; he just couldn't bear the thought of innocents being hurt because of him.
Even as an assassin he had taken extreme measures to ensure that only his target was the causality of his contracts. He never took the lives of innocents; directly, at least, no matter how they were related to the target. Of course there were times when that wasn't always the case; associates who he deemed were necessary to take out to fulfill his mission were one thing. Usually because of his actions innocent people died, though what would one expect when the top government officials of a dictatorship were taken out? His hands were stained with blood; a fact that he could never take back. Yet he wanted to repent; to try walking a new path with this new lease on life he had been given. With these kinds of thoughts in mind, he gave his answer.
"I want to be weak...Hands that can hold even the weakest of things, a weak appearance that would make others like me...I want to be full of weaknesses..." He could feel the tentacles answer him, wrapping around his very being, changing him. He was truly no longer human; he was the ultimate life form. Enhanced sight, smell, hearing and speed; he was nearly omnipotent. Despite that, he found it difficult to adjust to his new body right away, the tentacles impeding his movement slightly. He was smart however, and learned quickly; within an hour he had figured out to maneuver them perfectly to his liking.
He had even made himself a new outfit to cover his body, using materials around the place he had landed. That, unfortunately had taken him quite a bit of time; stitching threads from plants was no easy task after all. With this, he was set...but to do what? He no longer truly had a purpose; his life as the Grim Reaper was over. Well, he could always find a new one, he surmised. Images of the female teacher who had been with him through the past year entered his mind. What was she doing right now? Would she even want to see him? Doubt filled his mind, making him hesitant about his idea. The Reaper only looked at his new body; a soft, squiggly thing with numerous protrusions erupting throughout.
"Would she even want to see me like this...? Ah...I don't know..." He mutters, uncertainty filling his mind. He was worried and embarrassed, the tentacles seemingly sharing his frustration as they shuddered. His yellow skin began to turn pink, heat filling his face, his heart pounding intensely and causing him to blush.
"It's no good...I don't think I can face her yet...It's too embarrassing!" Yet, he wanted to go see her; he was concerned if she would shun him now. Which did surprise him a bit; he never remembed being this emotional before. Then again, he had been feeling more emotionally vulnerable since the experiments started. He couldn't tell why, he felt more inclined to laugh and cry than he did while he was human. He didn't really consider himself a stoic, but these outbursts were new even for him. Besides his appearance wasn't exactly human any longer; what would she love about that? He didn't know, but a voice in the back of his mind told him it was better to try than do nothing. He knew where she lived; they had talked about it enough times while he was still human. He could fly and find the place easily enough, and with his speed it would be simple to do so. He nodded, propelling himself into the air with his new tentacles; he would go see her...Maybe.
"Tell me, already!" Akari pestered, her sister shyly blushing at the outward way the command was said. It's not like Aguri didn't want to tell her sister about him, but she was having trouble finding the words. She could only look at the steaming hot cup of tea and emptied plate in front her, her gaze momentarily wandering around the small restaurant they were in. He was so different compared to her fiancé; he didn't look down on her and treat her like she was something to be pushed aside. She remembered the times when he had helped her make questions for her students, even though there was no benefit in doing so for him. She hadn't liked going to the facility at first, mostly because of her fiancé's treatment; talking with the Reaper however made those times more palpable. He would listen intently to her, responding with a small nod or gesture, sometimes even offering his own view on things. When he started to open up to her and tell her small things about himself, such as his likes and dislikes, she was glad. She didn't know why, Aguri just liked that someone was willing to listen to her on an equal level; even if he was much smarter than her. He still treated her like an equal; Something her fiancé hardly did, if at all. So it was with a bit of trepidation and embarrassment that she described the man she had fallen for.
"...He's a bit on the quiet side; he never talked about himself much, only if I asked. He was a good listener though; his eyes shone sometimes while I was telling my stories. He seemed fascinated with the small things in life, like my walk to work and how I would describe the weather. It was like...he was trying to find something he had lost...Or maybe never even had in the first place..." Aguri says, her voice quiet yet firm as she spoke, with an odd sort of conviction. Her younger sister only listened attentively as the other spoke, her voice filled with a happiness that she had heard in a long time. She was glad for her; for all her teasing about Aguri having the better genes, she truly loved her sister and wanted her to be happy. She had never liked Yanagisawa, and had told her sister to void the engagement several times.
Even if he was the owner of the world's richest research center for science, and a genius in his own right, that mattered little to Akari. She did wonder what caused Aguri to go after him in the first place; was she bullied into it? Pressure from Yanagisawa maybe? He did seem like the type to do so...She wasn't sure, though she did remember their parents talking about the arrangement a few times when she was home. It seemed it was mostly because of the man's social status and wealth; She didn't seem interested in the man at all, though she tried her hardest when they first met to become attached to him. He was just such a difficult man to get used to; always concerned about his appearance and how he looked to others. Yet it seemed their parents had received some kickback from the engagement; they both had noticed the amount of new things their parents began to buy. They were a regular middle class family; even their two children could tell that something was up. They hadn't gotten all the money to pay for Akari's acting lessons and coaches overnight. Aguri was too kind of a person to go against her parents wishes.
It's not like Akari didn't notice; the extra layers of make up to cover the bruises on her face. The dark bags under her eyes from the strain of working both jobs. The small lies and fake smiles to their parents whenever her fiancé was brought up. The sound of her crying through the wall of her bedroom when she thought everyone else was asleep. Akari was an actress; she knew when someone was putting on airs, and that was clearly what her older sister was doing. She did not understand why though. Why Aguri put up with the harsh treatment; for her parents and her sister, never really saying a word of it to any one. She had a right to her own happiness, her own life, just like anyone else.
She wondered if she should try and press the issue again; though she doubted Aguri would hear any of it. Maybe now that she found someone she actually cared for, she would listen. Taking a deep breath, the younger sister glared intensely at her sibling, causing the other to stare in confusion.
"...Why don't you call it off, Aguri? The engagement, I mean..." Her older sister only gave her a soft smile; which caused her heart to break. She had been around her sister long enough to know what that meant. It was a refusal; a kind way to turn her down. Her next words only confirmed it.
"I can't...I'm sorry, Sister."
Akari wouldn't have it however; her hand slamming down on the table where they sat, her eyebrows narrowed fiercely in anger.
"Dammit, Sis! Why won't you listen to me? Just because you're older, you think you know everything!" Aguri did not have an answer for her sister; at least one she was willing to give. She did not want to let her sister to know of the harsh treatment she had gone through due to her fiancé. Even if her sister had taken a break from being an actress, Aguri wanted to make sure she had the funds necessary should she want to make a comeback. The stern faces of her parents also flashed through her mind, their words clear.
"He's a nice man...He is one of the smartest and most powerful people in the world; Yanagisawa-san may seem harsh, but he's got our best interests at heart. Please...if you aren't doing it for us, do it for your poor sister." Aguri only let out a small sigh, getting up from her seat and grabbing her purse.
"I'm sorry, sister. I have to prepare for tomorrow's classes; those tests won't finish themselves, after all!" She chuckled, a smile on her face. Akari could only stare at her sister, watching the other leave, her mind confused and torn with indescision. What could she do?
"...Pull over." He commanded, the driver hastily putting on the car's brakes. He could see her through the window of the car, her steps somewhat slow as she walked back to her home. The mere sight of her made him furious; what a disgusting woman. She betrayed him; her fiancé, all for a murderer she met only a year ago. She barely even knew the man; what could he possibly hope to give her that he, the great Yanagisawa could not? Besides, that was when the man was still human; now he was nothing more than a monster; the world's ultimate weapon of destruction...Still Yanagisawa couldn't deny that Aguri was quite pretty, if a bit plain. Maybe it was that which had attracted him to her in the first place; she was plain, easily disposable if need be. He could find a thousand other women to take her place as his fiancée. Yet his anger only grew as he watched her walk toward their shared house, the car pulling up to the sidewalk. Like she didn't know what she had done. Pushing the button the lower the window, he faced her, leaning his face a little to the right so that his one still working eye could see her.
"Y-Yanagisawa-san! You...your eye. What happ—" Aguri attemtped to mutter, true concern in her voice for the man she had thought she loved, but he would have none of it. His voice was stern and fierce as he spoke, his right eye widening in rage.
"Don't play dumb with me, you bitch! You caused this; you and that damned guinea pig. Then again, by now the cells have probably taken hold of him; he's probably no longer even human..." The look of fear and surprise she gave at hearing his words only made him angrier, the proud scientist opening the car door and stepping out onto the sidewalk. Aguri could only stare at him in shock, her gaze turning to the driver for a moment. No, she couldn't dare to ask him for assistance. He was probably bought off by her fiancée to obey him unconditionally; he liked using his money to shut people up. Which is probably what he had done with the experiment that took place later this afternoon; though that might be a little bit harder for him to hide. Yanagisawa roughly grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her in close as his face came inches to her own.
"You've ruined me! My career and reputation are over, and for what? So you could spread your legs for a murderer! You dirty whore; I should have killed you back then..." He whispered to her, his tongue still as sharp and painful as ever. Aguri could only stifle the scream building up in her throat, keeping a hand clasped to her mouth before letting it drop to her side. Even if she did scream, she knew it would not be of any use. She attemtped to struggle against the man's harsh tug on her wrist, her feet sliding against the pavement as she was dragged into the car. Pain shot across her face then, a sharp, crushing pain that made her jaw hurt, and she could feel the blood dripping down her nose.
More importantly it caused her to stop resisting Yanagisawa, who used the momentum to roughly pull her into the vehicle. She fell into the back seats of the car, Yanagisawa slamming the door behind them and locking it, the scientist pinning down her arms so she could not escape. The knuckles on his left hand were stained with her blood, yet he made no sign of apologizing; if anything, that only made him more enraged. He easily deflected the weak slaps she attempted to send his way, chuckling at her pitiful defiance. He could see the fear in her black eyes however, and knew that he had won. Though he thought he could see something else there; a small flicker of defiance. No matter; now that he had her under his control, he could do anything he wanted to her. He would teach her to disrespect him; the greatest scientific mind in all the world. He sat Aguri up straight, keeping her hands behind her back so that they could not hit him, his other hand cupping her bruised chin. She watched him turn to the front of the car, barking commands to the driver before he once again turns to her, that manic rage still making his eye convulse, a sinister grin on his face as the car once again started to move.
"I will teach you the price for defying me..."
