Chapter 1-Death of the Rookie

Rukawa rode home in tears and anger. His tears-filled eyes made it hard of him to see where he was riding. Rukawa had just returned from the hospital when he had earlier in during basketball practice where he suddenly collapsed to the ground and was brought to the hospital. There, the doctor had studied his heath history background and results and found that like his parents. Rukawa too, had weak lungs which were weaker than an average woman's therefore nowadays he had difficulties breathing. The Doctor told him to watch his exercise, for he shortened his life span if he doesn't.

Rukawa: I am too young to die anyway. Damn those people up there especially the one writing the fate!

He using his left arm, he wiped away his tears and didn't see where he was going. Rukawa rode from the alley into the busy open road. The driver of the monster truck for transporting cranes; quickly hit on his honk and hit the brakes. The signal and braking came too late as the truck came into contact with Rukawa. Rukawa flew off his bike and hit against a lamppost.

Rukawa was hurting like shit, never in his life did ever felt this kind of pain. He felt warm liquid flowing down his forehead and down his face and both legs felt broken because of his weak lungs, he could hardly breathe. By then, many people had rushed toward him and Mitsui was one of them.

Mitsui: Rukawa! Hang in there! The ambulance is coming!!

Rukawa grabbed Mitsui's sweater, staining with his blood.

Rukawa: Mmmitsuii………pplleeeaasse……savvee…me…I……don't…want…tooo…

He didn't finished his sentence for he felt the huge sudden urge to sleep, the volume around suddenly went silent, he saw Mitsui crying before he finally closed his eyes for the last time

Mitsui: Rukawa, hang in there! The ambulance is here! Please don't die! What about basketball? *Began sobbing hard.

The paramedics pulled Mitsui away from Rukawa's body

Mitsui: Rukawa!! Wake up!!

Paramedic #1: You know him?

Mitsui: Yes, he is my teammate. Please save him!

Paramedic #1: We will try our very best.

They began a CPR on Rukawa.

Rukawa's spirit or soul came out of the body and came face to face with a skeleton in black cloak with a scythe and an empty hourglass.

Rukawa: Who are you?

DEATH: I AM DEATH.

Rukawa looked down at his bloody body and Mitsui and said: Am I dead?

DEATH: YEAH. YOU MAY GO NOW

Rukawa: What am I supposed to do now?

DEATH: ANYTHING

DEATH began walking away toward a giant white horse and rode it up into the air, leaving Rukawa (the soul) watching his body taken away into the ambulance. Now he was empty, feeling as light as a feather and freed from the terrible pain. He began floating away from the scene.

-Hospital-

Rukawa was pronounced dead at 9:30pm. Mitsui broke down and cried, he had followed Rukawa to the hospital and had telephoned Coach Anzai to be at the hospital. Coach Anzai nearly suffered his second heart attack at the hospital, on hearing that Rukawa was dead. By then, reporters were gathering in the hospital. Rukawa the ghost was there too, he watched the scene before leaving the hospital to sleep somewhere for the night.
