She could feel her life slipping away, as soon as she plunged that dagger into her heart. She could hear someone, probably the housekeeper, screaming for her grandma. Her grandma's face was the last thing she saw before she was consumed by darkness.
"What are we supposed to do now?" a voice from the shadows asked.
"Yes, the girl we were assigned to watch over just committed suicide."
"Hmmmmm. Takuto, Meroko, you have a new mission. You are to watch over the girl and make sure that she is successful as a shinigami."
"But boss…"
"No buts. I have given you your assignment. You are to carry it out." Without another word, the two shinigami disappear.
"Hey, Meroko, what do you think the new girl's going to be like?" Takuto asked his partner as they flew to what the shinigami called "The Forest of Tragedy".
"Who knows, she might be stubborn, weird, or even crazy?" Meroko replied. She had been a shinigami for a long time, and was in a bad mood. Takuto was bad enough, but now she has to take care of another new girl? "Just shut up ok Takuto?"
Mitsuki woke up in what seemed to be a forest. The first thing she saw was two strange looking people staring at her. She found her voice and asked, "Who are you?" The girl smiled. She had long pink hair wearing pink and black clothes. The most disturbing part about her was the long rabbit ears sticking out from her hat and the wings on her back.
The girl said, "My name's Meroko and this is Takuto. You probably don't remember, but when you committed suicide, you also committed a grave sin. Your punishment is to serve here, in the realm of death, to atone for your crime. We'd better get you introduced to the boss. After that, we'll explain everything."
"Boss, we brought the new girl," Takuto said as he deposited Mitsuki in front of the boss.
Mitsuki stared at the boss and suddenly blurted out, "Excuse me, do you know anything about me? I can't remember anything."
The boss stared at Mitsuki. "Well, it's a good thing this girl doesn't remember anything about her past. That saves me the trouble of having to change everything about her," he thought. Then he said to Mitsuki, "Ok, let's see. Your name is Mitsuki Koyama. As of right now, you are a shinigami. You are also assigned to Takuto and Meroko's team as an apprentice shinigami. Your animal will be a butterfly. However, you will not gain your antennae or wings until you successfully retrieve a soul. Therefore, for the time being, you will have a hat, and temporary wings. Meroko, she will share your room. Teach her the proper ways to be a shinigami."
