Another boring morning came and the streets of Tokyo was already filled with people. It wasn't even 9 o'clock and Kana was trying to kill herself for the third time this month. She was sure this time it'll happen no matter what. Everything was perfect, everything was prepared. No-one is going to stop her now. She stood up on the chair and put a rope with perfectly tied knot around her neck. She looked to the door for the last time, took a deep breath and then jumped...
When the rope was slowly digging to the skin on her throat she realised this wasn't the best idea. She isn't ready to die. Not like this. Not yet. Then everything went black..
When she opened her eyes again she was still in her room. The rope was still wrapped around her neck - but she was probably heavier than she thought. The rope probably tore while she was struggling for her own life. It wasn't so perfectly planned after all. Thank God... Suddenly the telephone rang. It was Kana's mom. She wasn't in a good mood today.
"Kaname-chan? Are you at home? Looks like you've skipped school today as well. The principal called me today. Is something wrong with you? Should I call the doctor?" Of course not. I was just trying to commit suicide. Nothing serious really.
"No, I'm perfectly fine, I just overslept. It's not going to happen again." And she hanged up. She was pretty tired so she didn't want to talk more. It was already 6 pm. She couldn't believe she was asleep for so long. She practically hadn't eaten anything all day and there wasn't any food in the fridge so she decided to go shopping. She was still in her pajamas so she changed. On her way to the shop she met random people. She didn't know no-one there so she wouldn't care if any of these people died. But why her? And not the others? The world is overpopulated anyway.. No-one would really care.
It was getting darker and while she was passing the park she suddenly realized there weren't so many people around. All she could see was a darkness and the only source of light was a street lamp on the other side of the street. This morning I was desperately trying to kill myself and now I'm scarred to go across the park? But a group of rapists was following her for quite some time and it seemed it was her tiny figure, big breasts and long black hair that attracted them. One of them caught her around her waist with one hand and he held the other over her mouth. The rest of the guys just laughed and took her to the alley.
"Don't even think about trying to escape" whispered the kidnapper to her ear. At that moment she was scared like hell.
Someone crashed her to the wall. She fell to the floor and felt the blood pouring from her nose. She slowly stood up and two of them grabbed her by shoulders and pinned her to the wall. The guy that seemed to be their leader told her to be quiet and at the same time he was trying to take her clothes off. Kana kept trying to hold back her tears but she couldn't. She wanted to scream so bad but someone's hand was still holding her mouth. She felt the desirous hand touching her body and suddenly it made her want to puke. The fingers were going between her legs. She cried in disagreement and that pissed the rapist even more. She wanted to die a lot of times but never as much as then.
She somehow managed to step onto someone's foot really hard and the arm around her body quickly loosened up. But the remaining two guys threw her to the floor and started to beat her up. She instinctively covered her head with her hands but it wasn't enough. And when it seemed they finished and she lowered her hands, abruptly her life ended with a single kick to the head.
Or so she thought..
"Look, another one" a voice stated.
When she opened her eyes again she was still lying on the ground. But she wasnt in the alley anymore. There were three guys standing round her talking to her. She quickly sat down and started observing them. It wasn't the guys from earlier. At least. Some high schoolers and middle-aged man. There were some other people too. "Are you alright?" the man asked. But Kana was too interested in others she didn't even notice him. Right in front of her there was a giant black ball and around it there stood or sat a group of people. Blonde guy, around 20 years old, then there was a guy around Kana's age with incredibly penetrating eyes as if he could see right into her. The two last guys looked like a mobsters so she rather didn't look at them for too long.
"What's going on? Ain't I supposed to be dead?" She asked confused. The man who sat by her answered her question instantly: "I suppose we are all dead." The eldest of all people in that room spoke next, he was wearing hospital clothes so he probably was about to die too. "Of course we are. We're all in Heaven now." Some of them smirked and they were right. It didn't make any sense. She could see the Tokyo Tower from the window.
Middle-aged man spoke again "Okey, let's all take the time to introduce ourselves! First your name, then occupation and how you died." What the hell? Is he stoned or something?
"So me first.. I'm Masashi Yamada, I'm a teacher.. I was in an accident while riding on a scooter" Heh, so a teacher, that would explain a lot. "Okay, your turn" and he nodded to a high schooler next to him.
"My name is Kei Kurono, 10th grade and I died... because of HIM!" He then pointed his finger to the man on his right. Then some other people introduced themselves and it was already her turn.
"Um.. I'm Nakano Kaname, 8th grade, beaten to death"
Yamada then motioned for the boy with gloomy eyes to introduce himself as well.
"Joichiro Nishi, 8th grade, fell to my death."
The boy's eyes were on her all the time. What a weirdo. But she couldn't help it she found him kind of interesting - he was even about the same age as her. The death wasn't so bad after all..
