Chapter 1 - Meeting God

A/N: Hello, everyone! I'm here again with another story. This one is all about Himawari and Sakurako pairing. Some supernatural is involved, but it is not the main theme of the story. Christians might be offended by some parts, so get prepared as you have been warned. Have a good time reading ~

~The usual lonely guy~

Sakurako opened hey eyes. What surrounded her was white. Pure white. Pure emptiness. She couldn't remember anything at all. Out of nowhere, she suddenly appeared here. In this place of nothingness. The girl was scared a little, but still decided to wander around, searching for something the even herself did not know. Pain echoed her head, which was rather unusal for the girl as she almlst never had such headaches before. Walking for little, she was becoming desperate as nobody, nothing can be found. But as she about to start crying, an old man materialized from nowhere. He was more like an middle-aged man, showing a rather flashy and mischevious smile. He looked like he is a wise man.

"Hello, young girl. Welcome!"

"Where am I? And who are you?"

That was all of what can be heard from the blonde's mouth. Her panic attack had subsided when she set her eyes on the man. She felt quite relieve that she wasn't alone here.

"The Afterworld. You died."

The man muttered in such a nonchalant way that it shocked Sakurako. Still not understand the situation, Sakurako asked back, dumbfounded, denying to believe in her hearing sense in which the man infront of her remained that unfazed expression as he replied.

"I...died?"

"That's right. You fell from the balcony and died at school. You are at the Afterworld right now. Simple, right?"

Sakurako didn't want to accept those words for a few moments. But something told her that it was the truth and the words sinked in. She had memories of such event. Those images flashed through her mind. Speechless for minutes, the blonde decided to ask the man. It was something she suspected since the very moment she heard the news.

"You are God, aren't you?"

"You can call me that. Or anything you like. Jesus, Christ, whatever. But basically, I am what you called God. A middle-age human male look alike creature."

The blonde was strangely calm. After all, there is nothing she can do now, she was already dead. But she suddenly recalled something and opened her mouth once more, seeming worried this time.

"How is Himawari!?"

"She is crying by your body right now."

God seemed amused by Sakurako's question. The blonde however, dropped her shoulders. One word and only one could have described her face, utter regret. She blamed herself for all those days of delaying her confession. She loved her childhood friend. She adored that sweet little girl. And yet, she let her shyness pulled the worst of her out everytime. If she could turn back time, she would just jump in and kiss Himawari. She cannot, however. She regretted it all. She pleaded on God as her emotions overflowed her heart.

"Please take care of her. Please bless her!"

"Why should I? That will defeat the purpose. You can't mature that way, can you?"

"Me? Don't you mean the humanity?"

"No. Just you. This entire world is built to educate you. All of this world existed to teach you. The good and the bad. The beautiful and the ugly. Justice and Evil. Angels and Demons .All served that very one purpose of to make you mature."

God's words was rather confusing for Sakurako. The blonde blinked, not understanding very well what the man was saying. The Lord knew very well that what he said was misleading and started explaining.

"Human race is just a soul. Only one. I created them a long time ago. A soul will automatically manifest a body for itself. But I failed in educating it. And everytime a human dies with regret, with hatred, with pain, the soul split, thus divided in strength. And this world was made for one sole purpose - maturing the human soul."

The information shocked Sakurako stiff. After a long while that the girl could manage to pull herself asking, much disbelief in her heart.

"I am Hitler?"

"And those whom he killed."

"I am Barack Obama?"

"And those serving him, yes."

"And I am Himawari!?"

"...Yes, and you are Sakurako, the very person that loved her."

It was a surprise for Sakurako. She loved herself all along? But God seemed to read her mind as he continued his words.

"You are one single being, but you are different individuals. You are Sakurako. And she's Himawari. Your soul are the same, but you are different. Lovely paradox, is it not?"

Sakurako didn't know what to say anymore and remained silent. This blank place was rather comforting for her. She felt like dissolving. And her body was vanishing slowly too. God noticed this and grab Sakurako and stopped the process. He spoke with a warm voice. A voice of judgement.

"Let's discuss what's coming next."

"Eh? But... Aren't I going to Heaven?"

God shook his head as he chuckled softly. She took a hold of Sakurako's hand and guide her to walk forward. A change in the atmosphere could be felt.

"There is no such place. Usual, your soul will vanish here, if you can't find it a place to belong. But I will give a second chance to die without regret. After all, I love teaching. And I haven't watch any romance shows lately."

The man lifted Sakurako body, using his hands. Gathering strength, he threw the girl forward, shouting.

"Go confess! I can't take care of that girl, so I am dumping it on you. And good luck."

The space in front of the blonde warped as she flew. After seconds, she found herself floating in space, starting to fly into Earth with a high velocity. She closed her eyes and opened them, as her instinct told her to do so. And what appeared in front of her was Himawari, her beloved friend, kneeing by her side, desperated.

"Sakurako, please wake up! Please wake up!"

Her head screamed in pain, but she knew one thing for sure. She was alive, once more. And she would not delay things any further.

"Hima-chan!"

She pulled her body up and embraced her brunette. God gave her a second chance. She would not let it go waste. Ever.

'Let's confess! I got a girl to love!'
