Chapter Uno (1)

AN: Ok, this story is my first to be put on here, and I hope you guys will be nice and forgiving if it sucks. It has a little bit of religion in the beginning, but I hope I don't offend anyone. I just couldn't think of a better way to get the story in place without being too unoriginal. Well, hope you like it, flames are read but forgotten, suggestions are welcome, and please review.

Disclaimer: Hah! I don't need a disclaimer for this chapter. Oh wait, I do…but Ouran is only mentioned, not used. (yet) Just the same, I don't own Ouran, and like many people have said before, if I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics about it.

Hi. My name is Lila Gomindez. I have brown mid-back length hair and dark brown eyes. Yup, your typical American 16 year old girl. But my appearance won't stay this way for long, because my story is anything but typical. Here, let me start from the beginning.

I was walking home from a sleepover at my friend's house. Ok, it wasn't really a 'sleep' over, more like a 'stay-up-all-night-watching-anime'over. We did take an hour nap though. Yes, we are pretty much otakus, thank you very much. At least we aren't as bad as that Renge girl from Ouran High School Host Club. Phew, that title is a mouth full. It's a really good anime though.

Where was I? Oh ya, walking home. It was around 1 P.M. since I stayed at her house for a while. Ah great, I'm passing that alley. Whenever I pass it, I can't help but look, and whenever I look, I don't like the sight. Sometimes there will be a homeless person, or a sick animal. Usually it's just a lot of trash, but it can be so disgusting. I was not looking forward to passing it, but it was the only way home, and I couldn't cross the street. I walked in front of it, took a deep breath, and looked. My eyes widened and I gasped.

What I saw was a guy with a gun pointed at an old lady. He was yelling at her to give him her purse, but she refused. I could tell he was frustrated, and probably didn't have a problem with shooting her. Without even thinking, I ran in front of the lady. I heard a shot. Unfortunately, I was...

Fast enough.

Yup, I saved her all right...but I also got shot in the process. I felt an unbelievable pain where my heart was, then fell. Before it all went black and numb, I heard the lady scream and the the guy run off. (Ok, I don't know if you would live for a few seconds if you were shot in the heart, but in my story you did, ok?)

My mind was blank. I saw black, and couldn't feel anything. Slowly, I started to feel my body again. Then I remembered that I had gotten shot. The weird part was that I didn't feel any pain. Maybe it was because I was numb, but I'm not sure. Slowly, I opened my eyes. I still only saw black, but it was like I was in a pitch black room. I just stood there. Slowly, a dot of light popped up, and it kept getting bigger and brighter.

I laughed. "So there really is a tunnel of light when you die..." I said. Then I heard a soft laugh, coming from the light. "Is someone there?" I asked, a little scared.

"Yes, there is." said a soft voice that came from the light again. I just kept staring at the light and it started to turn into something. Actually, to be more specific, someone. It was a beautiful lady, with light brown hair that went to her shoulders, and soft, delicate features. She was wearing a simple white dress, and had big, feathery wings. My jaw dropped.

"The tunnel of light turned into an angel. Either I'm dead or crazy. Or both." I said, my head spinning.

"Actually, you're not quite dead yet. And you're not crazy." the angel said.

"Ok, then if I'm not dead or crazy, could you explain where I am after just getting shot?"

The angel smiled. "You are technically dead, but you have an opportunity to get a second chance."

"Huh?"

"You died saving someone else. Since you sacrificed yourself, and for a stranger at that, God has decided to offer you a wish. You can't wish for just anything, your heart has to want it more then anything else. Most people's wishes involve them being alive, so we pull some strings and make it so that they just barely survived. if we can't do that, then we simply make a new existence for them. Of course, some people's wishes don't involve being alive."

"What wish is there where they aren't alive?"

"Well, becoming an angel is one."

"Is that how you became an angel?"

"Yes."

"Cool."

"So, what does your heart want more then anything?" she asked. I thought for a minute.

"Well, my heart can get pretty greedy sometimes...but I think what I want more then anything is to fall in love with someone who is kind, and respectful and non-abusive, and that kinda stuff." I said. Ya, I'm a romantic otaku, got a problem?

"Well, that is a good wish. But I get the feeling that your heart wants a little more added to that."

"What do you mean?"

"Your heart is trying to tell me that there is more to your wish."

"Really?"

"Yes, but your heart can't tell me, you have to."

"Uh…wow, this stuff gets confusing." she chuckled.

"It does, but in the end, it turns out fine." I smiled at her, then I tried to think of what my heart wanted added to the wish. Then my eyes widened, and I became embarrassed.

"Um, I think I know what it is my heart wants added to my wish."

"What is it?"

"Well, I really like watching anime, and I guess I've always wanted to be in one. Ya, be in one, and fall in love in one." I said. I could feel my cheeks getting hot.

"Well, that does seem to be what your heart wants." the angel said smiling at me. I smiled then thought of something.

"So, um, if I am in an anime, what's going to happen to my body?" I asked. Then the angel got a sad look on her face.

"Your wish doesn't involve living in that world anymore. There will be a new universe created for you to live in, and your old self will die as a hero."

"Oh…" I said sadly. I sighed. "Well, I don't want to leave everyone but my heart really wants to go to that universe you were talking about." The angel smiled sadly.

"At least you will be remembered as a hero."

"Yeah, I guess…" the angel smiled and put her hand on my forehead. I started to get sleepy, and everything went black.

Hope you liked it, I'll get the next one out soon, maybe even today. I just wanted to end at a cliff hanger. Please review, I want to know if anyone likes more story, and even if they don't, at least cares enough to read it. Bye now!
