I don't own Danny Phantom, nor do I want to. I like the show, but I have my own ideas ^^"

"Tucker! Tucker!?" the sounds of Danny's shouting echoed throughout the room. "Tuuuuckerrrrrrr!?" although, the techno geek chose to ignore. "Hello!?" Danny still continued, along with Sam. Both continuing to look for him, unable to find him.

"Maybe he's asleep. For all we know, he might not even be home." The goth girl whispers, not even realizing that he was there the while time. "Let's go, Danny. We'll just call him when we get to the airport. Ok?"

"Yes, I just thought that he'd want to see us off. After all, he is our best friend. Right?" he could a sharp pang in his heart, then felt guilty. He knew that this was selfish, but he had to confirm it. "It's too bad..." at that moment, he heard the sounds of retreating feet. Afterwards, the sound of the closing door. His suspicion, neither confirmed or disproven. He actually felt like crying, acting like this. They were his friends, he could just ask them. But he was a coward, right?

One tear, two tears, then he was crying. Nonstop, tears poured like rain and burnt like fire. The same bittersweet taste filled his mouth, and tormented his very soul. The brunette knew this would happen, but didn't wish to scare them. He was dying... He was also in love with Sam. But they would only pass it off as a joke, right? After all, they never took him seriously.

Since sophmore year, he felt himself drifting away from them. Not only in the physical manner (classes), but Also mental (interests). Which didn't exactly help his situation. Once he starts to pace about the room, he felt it tear through him. Blood splattered on the walls and floors, staining them crimson. A claw tore from the other side, tearing him from his body. A scream, and the monster nearly devoured him.

Until...

It seemed like a split second, but a sword tore it to pieces. On the other side of the sword, a goddess of war stands proudly. Her black hair, cascading over her shoulders. Her black sword, thin and elegant. Just like her.

"You're safe now,cuts time to goher the hilt of her sword pressed against him, then everything went white. Fading... Fading... Until everything went black.

He opens his eyes, taking everything in. His clothes, replaced with alured kimono gold trim and a green obi. He didn't recall wearing this type of clothing, but that didn't matter. What mattered was the destruction and rubble that surrounded him. Death. That's all he could see. Everywhere, he saw saw starving children and pain. It was... Terrible.

"Where.. Am...!?" a sharp pain tore through his stomach while, basically roaring. Hunger... That's what he felt. "Who...Am...?" a scream tore through his throat, startling everyone around him. Well, the two people by him.

"Stop moving..." a feminine voice hissed, holding him down. Most likely to keep him from moving too much.

"Where am I!?" finally, he was able to complete a sentence. Although, not without a sharp pain.

"Idiot!" he felt a pain in his gut, assuming she hit him. "What's your name?" to find her smiling the next moment. The boy said he didn't know his name, so she descided to call him Takuma, Fukui Takuma. "Well, Fukui-San, you're in Kusajishi. The 79th district."

"What?" he asked, having no clue on what she was talking about. He had never heard of such a place, not that he remembered anything. Even so, the green haired girl explained everything. Apparantly, he was dead. They were in Rukongai, and her name was Tsukino Hibiki. She even explained what shinigami did and how they became 'shinigami'. Hibiki seemed surprised when he complained from hunger.

"It's possible that you have some power! A high amount of Reiryoku, I mean. We can become shinigami together!" she chirped, glomping him. "Yay! We can become shinigami!" she danced around, singing.

"SH-shinigami? Are you s-sure?" Takuma (Tucker) whispered, not wanting to disappoint the cheerful Hibiki. She says 'well, yeah!' but that wasn't eniugh yo boost up his courage, it wasn't enough. "I'm sorry... I don't think I can..."

She interrupts again, trying to make him change his mind. Bit he was just too stubborn.
