For as long as time has existed, Heaven, the realm of Angels, and Hell, the realm of Demons, have been at war. As a result, since the dawn of Earth, the realm of Humans, the middle realm has often served as a battlefield, resulting in thousands of years of destruction and despair for the race that had nothing to do with the conflict. Unlike the Angels, with their magic, and the Demons, with their sorcery, Humans had no such defense. Until the first of the "Golden-Touched" were born. Named for the golden glow in their irises when using great amounts of power, these rare and powerful humans were the saviors of Humans and Earth as a realm. Their very presence significantly decreased the power of Angels and Demons alike, they suffered no effect from Angelic magic or Demonic sorcery, and no material from or forged in any realm beyond Earth could harm them. With their gifted saviors, Humanity took back their realm, preserving the peace for their own sake. These special humans are still being born, and relied on to continue to keep the peace, as guardians of Humanity. This role hasn't been as crucial to humanity since the Age of Everlasting War, however, since battles being waged on Earth's soil became rarer and rarer… until very recently in history. Due to unknown causes, both Heaven and Hell are deteriorating. In the past one-hundred and fifty years, demons have been immigrating to Earth, forming close-knit colonies, interacting with humans only as much as necessary, often due to circumstantial conditions to live in the Human realm. It was rarer for Angels to do so, as they had an equal distaste for Hell and Earth. But as the two outer realms continue to decay, some Angels, out of desperation, have also started colonies on Earth, immigrating in fairly small numbers about fifty years ago. As anticipated, the opposing colonies quickly became entangled in conflict… however, the Demons had an advantage. Earth-bound demons still held ties with Hell Demons, and the more powerful and resourceful demons in Hell sent aid and assistance when it came to war with the Earth-bound angels. The Angels, however, were no longer considered Angels of Heaven, as those who had to immigrate were not only the lowest ranking and poorest, but also considered traitors… Earth-bound Angels received no such aid… and suffered horrible slaughter as a result. A great many Golden-Touched were needed to intervene, and they ceased the blood-shed as soon as could reasonably be expected, but that didn't prevent a great deal of demons, angels, and even humans, from dying- though angels suffered the greatest loss, percentage wise. The conflict is all but over, but it is very clear that any surviving angels on earth are at high risk. Particularly since more powerful demons can gain additional power by eating angel flesh, making them easy targets for 'poachers'. It's been ten years since the last severe attack on angel colonies… but ever since the immigrations started to occur, no one on Earth, except for the most hopeful or naive, can claim to feel safe.

There were several things Yammichi Aki hated about Math class. The first one was that you weren't allowed to eat in class. If that alone wasn't enough to drive a person mad, he didn't know what was. He had read some where that reading and learning exhausts the brain and causes a person to be hungrier than usual. And Aki was always hungry so that 'than usual' was not very fun to be honest. The second one was that Math was ALWAYS first period and Mr. Kyo was a complete hard ass who punished Aki severely when he was late- which, just like the before mentioned hunger, was pretty much always. Not that he did it on purpose- his mom had told him lateness was in his genes. Granted, he hadn't really understood what lateness would be doing in his jeans at the time- he was six, give him a break already! Lastly, he hated Math class because Toyotomi Kurohiko was in his class. Aki had never spoke two words with the guy himself, but he didn't have to, because with his semi-long brown hair, piercings, and icy blue eyes that made him seem completely unapproachable and good looking, it was pretty much obvious. Toyotomi Kurohiko was...completely and utterly awesome. It was rumoured that the guy had a tattoo of Chuck Noris on his chest and hardly spoke besides Basketball and Art club. In fact, the only person he had actually been seen hanging out with willingly was his twin brother- Tamaki-san. The fact that he basically towered over the class with his 6'4 frame helped as well. He. Was. So. Cool. It completely got on his nerves. How could Kuroshiko-san be so completely and effortlessly awesome where he had to put so much effort into it and ended up looking like a complete dork any ways. Aki's fist clenched beneath the desk and he looked passively out the window, determined to befriend the boy and be just as cool! Unbeknownst to him, a couple of girls in the class edged away from him as he gave off a weird aura of determination out of no where, one thought in all their minds, Aki is so weird.
