THE WAY BACK TO YOUR ARMS
CHAPTER ONE
She glided along the busy halls of the spirit world.
Spirit World…
She muttered the words silently to herself as her ink black orbs watched the ogres in amusement.
Spirit World but there are ogres here….And here I was, thinking that ogres can swallow me whole when in truth, they give your files to God in order for you to go to heaven.
Her gaze caught a certain blue ogre with blonde hair and a dumb look on its face. The ogre, who was strangely named George, waved at her while balancing a stack of papers.
And they are friendly…and also have English names, while God himself was actually named in Japanese.
She followed the ogre into his boss' office. She opened the door for the busy ogre, and went inside afterwards.
"And here comes our winner!" exclaimed the toddler behind the office desk. He accepted the stack of papers and ordered something from the ogre.
And we also have a God the same age as your two year-old son… Well, not really…
She grinned at the toddler, the word 'winner' pleasant to her ears. "I want my prize right now, Lord Koenma," she demanded, trying to hide the excitement in her voice and expression. "I've waited too long for this tournament to come up."
Koenma reclined in his chair, "Very well…What do you desire as a prize?"
She answered quickly. The prize had been thought of long ago, prior to the tournament. "I want be alive again,"
The infant god of the spirit world frowned, his chubby shoulders sagging. "I'm afraid I can't do that, winner."
This time, the word 'winner' didn't sound as pleasant as before. "Why?" She dreaded his answer.
How come I never thought of another prize? I was so sure that it'll happen… I should've thought of a back plan…
"They already had your body cremated,"
Her eyes widened for a second before lowering to the polished floors. Disappointment was clear on her features, and tears threatened to fall down. But she refused to cry, it wouldn't do anything to bring her body back from its powdered state.
Never bothering to sit down, she turned on her heels and began walking out of the room. She was halfway to the door when Koenma spoke up.
"But you could still be brought to life,"
Her head shot up. Damn toddler… Hope you choke on your pacifier…
"Have you ever heard of reincarnation?"
