Death Penalty
Prologue
Haven't you notice that everyone says that they want to go to heaven, yet, Nobody wants to die. Death happens every second whether you like it or not, I mean you can just be listening to your I-pod and while taking a stroll and get shot by a sniper…Well…lets think realistically; your taking a jog and all of a sudden a car gets out of control and hits you causing you to lose conscious (Uso-Koi) or die. But when you die, where's does your soul go? Well in this tale your soul goes to the dark depths of "SOUL" an organization in which ensures that you won't die unless you want to but for the price of…selling your soul. These so called "Shinigamis" travel around lurking for the people who are willing to sell there soul to them in order to ensure safety. The question is: How do you get into SOUL?
She dashed forward not knowing where to go anymore. These people in black coats where chasing her. She didn't know what to do. She ran and ran, her legs ached, sweat dripped off her face, tears were forming. Father, Mother, Where are you!? She stopped her eyes widened. A dead end. It's pointless now…was all that appeared in her mind. Her heart was racing she turned and saw the figures coming closer and closer. One of them holding a sharp cross-like dagger in the hand. She bit her lip as she backed away.
"We got you now, your parents owe us for selling us such a scampering soul." The voice echoed as they approached her. He grabbed her neck choking her slightly only letting breath out the tiniest breath. "This might hurt a little." he raised up the cross-like dagger jabbed it into her right eye. Pain shot through her she wanted to scream but her voice wouldn't come out. The only thing she could see was the moonlight itself and the voices of the cloaked figures. She was a bit conscious and managed to hear there conversation
"Ah man…I think you did it to harsh boss."
The high pitched voice of a young teen?
"Hmmp, What are you talking about she probably only felt it for a second"
The boss? A middle aged man
"We can't just leave her on the ground…." the voice was more louder since he bent over and picked her up.
Put me down
"It's sad that her parents sold her soul to us only because they didn't want to die…" The man's voice said as she felt them moving know.
My parents sold me!?
"Humans are selfish that way."
"True, but you know…you were, a selfish human yourse-" PUNCH! She felt herself get fall to the ground along with the man. Apparently the so called "boss" punched him
"Shut up, and know your place Maru." The voice said with a scowl as he walked away.
Maru? So that's his name.
"Sorry boss!" He chuckled as he picked her up as if nothing had happened.
What the hell is going on?
"By the way boss, this girls name is Nao right?"
"for now…"
