I opened my eyes.

Horrible mistake. It was way too bright wherever I was. But… Wasn't I dead? I thought I was. I had said out loud what I regretted. So what the hell was I doing able to think? I didn't know if I could feel anything or not, and I didn't even bother trying to find out if I could. All I knew was that the light was far too bright, and I was able to think somehow.

This was already an interesting day.

My eyes were closed again, and I tried breathing. I felt- yes, felt- the steady rise and fall of my chest as air filled my lungs. I was now feeling everything around me. By the pressure on my back, I could tell I was lying on the ground. I felt cool grass in my fingertips.

So I'm outside...

I breathed in a few more deep breaths of the glorious air before sitting up. I slowly opened my eyes, giving them a chance to adjust to the blinding white light. After they adjusted, I could see that it wasn't all that blinding where I was. It was a lush, green field that stretched on for what seemed like forever. There were no flowers or trees or anything else that I could discern from the grass.

A very small pressure in my left hand caught my attention, so I held the object up so I could see it. Hoshi no Tama. A star ball. It was only about half full of power, but it wouldn't affect me until it had be completely filled once. So I was actually alive again.

A/N Yes, this was uploaded to my deviantART. It is still by me. They'll get longer and more interesting as I go on, that I promise.
