First story, hope you like it! ENJOY!!!!!
The cat yawned and stretched from her comfortable bed. Wait…a cat?! The girl looked over herself carefully. Paws, tail, honey-colored fur—yeah, she was definitely a cat. But last night…she couldn't remember what happened last night.
"You are dead," a voice boomed from above, "and your name is now Amu. You are a death spirit, or angel, whatever you prefer. Your job is to look after the living until they die, to look after one person until death takes them, and so on. Understand?"
She tried to say yes, but all that came out was a small meow.
The voice chuckled. "I was once like you, young and new. Others will now direct you to your person, which has only a marked time to live. They will teach you to look after the person until their time comes."
Over the course of the next few…days? months? years? she learned to look after, to care for the person she would be assigned to. Amu learned that she could appear as an animal (in her case, a cat), a person, unseen (as an angel/death spirit, human), or all of those. But some things gnawed at the edge of her brain…who was she, really? How did she die? And when did she die and live? Finally, she was assigned to a boy.
Amu's best friend, in the Otherworld, as she learned it was called, was Utau, a blonde that turned into a beautiful singing bird. Utau came in one day and said to Amu happily, "You finally got someone! I'm not sure who he is, but at least you'll get to go somewhere!" And Amu wasn't sure, but she felt that Utau's voice was slightly tinged with envy, but the feeling soon disappeared when Utau kept talking on about the mission.
