Prologue
Kyoko's POV
I looked down at my body as I left it. I would give anything to do it over. This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. I was finally marrying my fairy prince, Kuon-chan, but nothing had gone quite right.
I had just died from a fatal allergic reaction to a cherry from my cosmopolitan (AN: I know its corny, but I couldn't think of a way to kill her off that wouldn't seem like it couldn't be prevented by something). I know, silly, but I didn't even know I was allergic. I just bit into one and went into antiepileptic shock and died before a doctor could be called.
Suddenly everything was white. I was in a room with a door. As I approached it, a woman appeared with wings clipped to her back and a halo attached to a headband. She wore a long white robe with a long rope tied around her waist as a sash.
"Why are you wearing an angel costume?"
"It's to not scare the newly dead at first arrival, plus it's only a day job. I'm also working part time as the Angel of death."
Suddenly there was a podium in front of her.
"Now, what is your name?"
"Mogami Kyoko."
"Japanese?"
"Hai!"
Suddenly a huge book, an old fashioned ink and quill and reading glasses which perched on her nose appeared on the stand. She started to read the book. After a while, she finally looked up.
It seems you have a choice to go back to Earth to save your life. To do so, you will be 'reborn' as a baby. You won't remember anything at first, but you will slowly regain your memories, and some choices in your past will be changed without you having any free will, but you won't remember anything at the time. You will experience déjà vu occasionally. Only 20% of people take this option. What do you want to do?"
I stood there in shock. I wanted more time with Kuon.
"I'll do it!"
As I finished the sentence, a portal appeared behind me and sucked me in. I saw years pass me by and suddenly I was wailing. I'd had my breath of fresh air.
