Hi guys! It's been so long since those times that I was uploading my stories here! Miserable to Wonderful and Last Kiss (was it?) haha. I even forgot the title of the other one. By the way, I deleted these stories of mine and I'm very regretful why I did but now I'm trying to start all over again! Hehehehe~
WOOOOWWW~ It feels nostalgic to write stories again! Hehe ^-^
This time, I'm really planning to finish this story and although I intended to keep it as a one shot, I ended up cutting it down to chapters. HOHOHO~
Anyway, this story's concept is not original and is based on a manga called NAGEKU SHINIGAMI. I just thought that the story really suited the NatsumeXMikan couple especially Natsume! Kyaaaaa~ so I decided to base this story on that manga. That's why credits to NAGEKU SHINIGAMI and its author. Anyway, this is just a FANFIC so please do me no harm for loving that manga's concept and even using it on my comeback first release~ hohohoho!
Umm, so anyway, even if I posted stories before, I feel really new around here again so please treat me kindly.
REVIEWS are very much appreciated. Thank you.
CHAPTER 1
I knocked on the door of the hospital room and was invited in.
She was lying on the bed with her eyes on me. When she realized she didn't know me she asked,
"Oh? I don't recognize you" the lady asked kindly "May I know who you are?"
I just stared at her.
"What is it young boy?" she asked and smiled sweetly
I walked towards her and whispered in her ear, "I'm here to take your soul."
I felt her froze.
"T-take my soul? But who are you?" she stuttered
"My name's Natsume. Hyuuga Natsume. I'm a death angel."
I looked through her eyes and saw fear in them. So I said,
"Close your eyes."
She did and then I leaned in and kissed her.
That was the first time I did the real job. I'll always remember that time. After I kissed her and backed away, I saw her draw her last breath and her soul separated from her body, then it shot past me and into a place I don't know.
For three years, I've been doing this job.
I had to kiss away the souls of humans during the brink of their death, so that the seals of their bodies will open and their souls would be taken away to their destined place. I have to make sure that I'm able to free the souls before their time gets cut and they would be released in the world; trapping them here and disabling them to move on. That's why I have to do it or else they'll remain here in this world and suffer.
I'm not alone though but there aren't many death angels around since majority of our kind are too soft hearted and they can't bear taking a person's life. But unlike the assumption that we're bad and referring us as evil angels, that's wrong.
We do care, but were not really supposed to. We feel hurt but we have to keep it in. However through years of doing the deed, taking people's lives had gotten easier. We get immune by time and then we finally learn how to control and even shut off our feelings so that every time we kiss, we wouldn't be shaken off unlike the first time that we ever did. Because during that time, during the first time I ever kissed someone and see the last breath she took, I froze, I felt crushed and I was consumed with grief.
The other angels wonder why we don't quit after experiencing that pain, they thought we liked it and that we were really meant for the job. But that's actually not it; we're just actually sacrificing. Experiencing that pain, we could only think that the other angels must not go through the same and if we show how hard it is, no one would ever take on the job again and the souls of people would be at risk.
That's the burden I carry as a death angel. And as I kept on my work, I become colder and colder until I no longer feel happiness and was unable to smile.
"Hyuuga, this is your next work."
I looked up and saw Tsubasa, the head of the death angels. I grabbed the paper from him and read the file.
"She got into an accident a week ago and was unconscious until today. Then the higher ups looked up at her remaining life and saw that she's got more or less three days."
He blabbered mostly of the things already written on the file.
"I think it's going to be easy on you this time."
I looked at him and saw his agonized smile, something that death angels wear for sharing compassion for both the angel and the human.
"Why?" I asked
"She's blind." He smiled excruciatingly, patted my shoulder and walked away.
I looked at the smiling image on the file and saw her hazel nut eyes shining brightly before me,
"If she can't see death coming... then it really must be easier." I thought as I read her name
"Sakura Mikan."
