A Surprise Ending and Beginning
It was a normal day in Brownsville, Texas for one John Mickelson. He is an average looking guy who's 5 foot 4, with messy black hair and brown eyes. He was a recent graduate student from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) with a bachelor in Psychology and no real direction in life. John didn't know what to do; he was an antisocial person with no people skills and no connections to important people in order to find a good job. It has been 6 months since he graduated and he was still working part time at Best Buy and was currently living with his parents.
Johns' POV
"Why don't you become a border patrol agent like Chris, He gets paid 70 thousand dollars a year and all you would have to do is ask if the people coming over are U.S citizens or not" nagged Johns' mother. My mom has been trying to persuade me into becoming a border patrol agent ever since my sisters' husband Chris told her how much he got paid and how easy it was. "Mom, I already told you it requires me to know how to speak Spanish which I don't know and I would have to pass the physical fitness test that I now I won't pass" I said. While it's true that I'm not obese I do have a small potbelly and have not done any kind of serious exercise since I was in middle school. My mom just brushed off my excuse and droned on about the wonders of becoming a border patrol agent while I ignored her and went straight into my room.
My room is a small, but comfortable place with the walls cover in posters of different anime shows such as Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z, showing that I am obviously an anime fan. I turned on my laptop and spent hours reading Naruto faniction, which just so happens to be one of my favorite shows of all time. Even if I don't like the character Naruto specifically because of his loud idiotic personality and wasted potential, the show was amazing. The fights are well made with the awesome animation and characters making ingenious strategies on the fly, even though I don't get why they like to explain it to their enemies. As I was getting up to go to bathroom I accidently spilled water form my mostly full water bottle onto my laptop and the screen began to glitch. I rushed to the bathroom to get paper towels to dry my laptop, but I already knew it would be futile.
As I began drying my laptop I remember that the laptop was still plugged in and mentally berated myself for not unplugging it sooner. If I left the wet laptop plugged into the outlet it could cause the electricity in the house to go out or possibly start a fire. I took the precaution of wearing rubber gloves so I didn't electrocute myself and unplugged it. Once it was unplugged and dried, I began to think of what I should do about my laptop. While I could throw it away and buy a new laptop it would be a major blow to my savings account. I final decided that if I take it to Best Buy they might be able to fix it with a decent discount due to me being an employee there. I got my laptop and walked towards the front door and as I passed my parents I asked, "I'm going out, do you need anything." They thought about it for a moment before my dad said, "were running out of water could you go buy 2 packs of water." I accepted the 20 dollars he handed me and said,"sure" and left the house and entered the car. I put the laptop in the passenger and started to drive to Best Buy. Once there I got the technician to take a look at it and he said it would be fixed and ready for me to pick up in two days. Glad that it wouldn't have to go without a laptop for too long, I went on my merry way to H-E-B to buy the water.
The drive to H-E-B started out smoothly with very little traffic, until out of nowhere a child ranging from 8 to 10 years old ran onto the street and froze right in front of my cars path. I tried to swerve the car away from the kid as fast as I could and succeeded in avoided him, but not without a cost. I ended up swerving in front of an eighteen-wheeler going at full speed. The last thought I had before I died was on how irresponsible the parents must be to let their child ran out onto the street.
When I woke up I noticed that I was floating in a completely white space absent of any other colors. I spent what seems like months just floating around thinking about my life when suddenly the world around me distorted and I fond myself in some random room. The room looked like it belonged to some big shot CEO with all the fancy furniture and expensive looking decorations, but what really got my attention was the man sitting behind the office desk. He looked like the average joe that you would see on the street and pass by barely noticing them, but what told that he wasn't a normal guy was the immense power he radiated. I didn't have a clue about what this person could be. Could this guy be a demon, an angel, or even God? I did believe in God as I was a regular church going Christian, but I didn't know if would face him directly in death. I stood there as he stared at me for what I assume to be hours when suddenly his face broke out into a smile. "You have lived a very boring life John," he said, smiling condescending at me. It was true; I have never done anything remotely exciting in my entire life. I was the kind of person who followed all the rules and was average in everything at best, with my only entertainment coming from watching anime and reading manga. I did my best to ignore the jab he made at my mediocre life and asked, "Who are you?"
He looked at me for a moment before bursting out in laughter. I waited there awkwardly for him to finish before finally settled down and faked coughed loudly in order to get my undivided attention. "I am the Shinigami or as you say in English the God of Death," he said smiling. I stood there for a while looking shocked, my heart beating erratically, after a couple of minutes I gained my bearings and asked, "Are you going to eat my soul?" He just chuckled and said, "No my boy, I just want some entertainment and you're going to give it to me." I just nodded my head, it would be a bad idea for me to say no to a God that could destroy my soul with just a mere snap of his fingers and said, "What do you need me to do".
The Shinigami looked elated and said, "I am going to send you to send you to a world full of ninja from an a popular anime by the name of Naruto." It was a terrifying revelation; I knew I wouldn't survive being sent to a world full of super powered killers, they also spoke the Japanese language, which I don't understand, and I began thinking of a way to convince him that this was all a bad idea. The Shinigami must have known what I was thinking and raised his hand to stop me from speaking. "I am not going to send you there defenseless, I am going to give you full understanding of the language they use and give you the choice of any two kekkei genkais" Explained the Shinigami. I was shocked; he was willing to give me two kekkei genkais and the instant knowledge of their language. I though about his offer and asked, "Could my kekkei genkais be a power from a different anime and can I have some time to make my decision?" The Shinigami gained a thoughtful look and decided, "You can only have one kekkei genkai from a different anime while the other one has to be from the Naruto world, and you will have as much time as you need."
Sitting there on a couch I began brainstorming on which kekkei genkai from a different anime would be more useful. I already choose the crystal release from the Naruto world. In the anime Guren was able to use crystal release to easily dominate Kakashi and his group single handedly. After a couple of minutes I remembered Orihime's ability to undo or reject certain things like when she used it on Grimmjow in order to regrow his severed arm. With that in mind I walked up the Shinigami and made my decision known, "from the Naruto world I want crystal release and from the anime Bleach I want Orihime's powers." The Shinigami just stood there looking at me with a blank face. For a moment I thought he going to deny my choices but then I saw him smile and said, "very well". With that said he raises his hand towards me and before I could say anything I blacked out.
