What It Really Means to Kill
Shiki Tohno was an far from an ordinary boy.
He was a trained killer, and even if he didn't remember any of the training he had received as a child, he was still a rather deadly human. It was ingrained in his subconscious. The ability to move at the speed of sound, the ability to cut someone into eighteen pieces in a flash, the ability to kill, the ability to violate.
But he wasn't even the most amazing person he knew. That had to go to his dear friend, Arcueid Brunestud, who was also known as the White Princess of the True Ancestors. Not a lot knew what that title exactly meant, but many could infer it was an important title nevertheless, and either way, they were correct. Arcueid was as important as she was powerful. Her connection to the Counter Force was the whole reason Shiki was able to do what he was about to do.
The young boy was utterly distraught when he learned of Ciel's death at the supposed hands of this Arch Demon Akibahara, and like any other good friend, he wished for Ciel to come back. To live again. Arcueid could do that. The Counter Force could do that. So they granted Shiki's wish. If the Counter Force got involved, that could only mean that without Ciel, the world would be destroyed. She had a role to play in saving the world, it seemed. Only another reason why she absolutely had to come back.
With that, he had broken into the Reapers' Game all by himself. An intruder in a foreign place.
Appearing in the Hedge Maze, amid the chaos, he had been informed of his situation upon reaching the place. Something was wrong, and it was supposedly the work of this Akibahara. Something almost resembling his earlier ordeal with the Crossed, according to the Counter Force.
Like a Murder Game.
Out of nowhere, from the points of view of Ciel, Marcus, Claptrap, Yuka, and others, the mysterious boy with a knife would dash through the scene, swinging his knife at the fire, and astonishingly enough, the fire had partly dissipated, as though he had literally sliced the fire away. Concepts were usually a difficult matter for him, but in a world where death had lighter weight compared to the world of the living, he was going to have a field day with this.
"Well, it looks like I made it at just the right time," he sighed, looking back at the group before everyone.
"Looks like you made some new friends while you were gone, Ciel-senpai. Hey, everyone. Name's Shiki Tohno. Pleased to meet you all. I didn't crash at a bad time, did I?"
Ciel's somewhat blind eyes widened in shock upon hearing the voice, trying to recognize said voice and the shadow associated with it. She seemed to be frozen, though whether it was from shock or bewilderment was anyone's guess.
