A/N: Me updating on April fools? I never fucking update that must mean this is just a fake chapter. Nope, It's a real chapter that I only wrote in like 2 hours so it might suck just as much as the first chapter honestly. It's been a hot minute since I even thought about this story. The first chapter is kind of bad but I don't feel like fixing it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also I've never read a bible but nuns are a Catholic thing so to any Catholic readers I'm so sorry.
I don't know why we even bothered calling doctor Ted. It was clear there was a dead person in my bed. That dead person used to be me, but last night Rin passed away in my arms and I made a deal with an angel to put my soul in her body so I could fulfill her dying wish of being at her sister's wedding. So now my life as Len is over, and my life as Rin will be cut short as well.
As the doctor came by trying to figure out my cause of death I (as Rin) fake cried on Miku's shoulder. Tears prickled Miku's eyes as well, it was very sorrowful.
"It must have been natural causes but I can't pinpoint what exactly killed him. He was a healthy young man why would he just die in his sleep."
"He used to work in a factory he told me, maybe that environment messed up his lungs and we didn't know? I would see him coughing sometimes when he was alone in the graveyard," I lied through fake tears. I mean for almost 10 years that was how I thought I would pass.
"Perhaps…" Ted rubbed his chin as he thought about that.
"Well either way he is dead, Kaito let's get him ready to take to the undertaker." Everyone else left the room, soon Ted and Kaito came out both holding my body that they just wrapped in my blanket.
"Well on the bright side you get your room back Rin," Miku whispered and Meiko punched her shoulder.
"Not now Hatsune." Meiko said through gritted teeth. Honestly I Miku's joke because seeing my own body being taken out of the room made me wanna throw up.
"Should we eat breakfast before it gets cold?" Haku suggested filling the awkward silence as we watched Kaito help Ted get the body into his car.
"Yes I suppose," Meiko said.
"I don't know if I wanna eat after seeing a corpse," Miku said and I nodded my head in agreement. Regardless we all silently headed to the kitchen. I only ate like half of one of my eggs and eventually Kaito came in to join us.
"Should we hold a funeral?" Meiko eventually asked Kaito.
"He'll be buried here right?" I asked.
"He can be but I thought it would be cheaper to cremate him," Kaito said.
Ouch I really feel the love there Kaito. I wanted to be madder but I thought that might be out of place for Rin. Eventually we heard a knock on the kitchen door, weird for someone to knock but maybe it was a visitor to the church?
Haku stood up to answer it. Luka was standing at the door.
"I saw doctor Ted's care on my way here is everything alright?" Luka asked as she stood awkwardly at the doorway, waiting for permission to be let in.
"Len is dead." I said plainly.
"Oh my!" Luka put her hands up to her mouth in shock. "The boy from yesterday? He seemed fine!"
"We all thought that too but Haku found his body this morning, peacefully sleeping."
Luka walked up to me and put her hand on my back. "I'm sorry…"
"I want him to be buried here," I said looking up at Luka. I know this is awful but maybe she could convince Kaito or pay for a nice head stone with all this money her (our) family allegedly has.
"I'll pay for the tombstone and the casket," Yes hook line and sinker! "It's the least I can do after he helped me yesterday."
"Luka you are too kind but he really didn't do much," Haku said. She's right but don't interfere if I'm gonna die twice I at least want one tombstone with the name Rin gave me on it!
"I insist," Luka said. I then pushed my eggs towards her.
"I'm not hungry but would you like some Luka? You must have walked an appetite walking down from the hill."
Then everyone gave me a strange look.
"Isn't Luka allergic to eggs?" Miku asked.
Shit.
"S-Sorry Luka! I don't think I can think straight..." I forced myself to create tears.
"It's fine, it's also been a long time since we ate together. And you don't have to worry I had breakfast before I left, but maybe we can go shopping and get your mind off of things? That was why I came down here originally I wanted to see if you wanted to head to Oasis with me."
Oasis was the biggest town of us within a 50 mile radius they had a few shops and places to eat.
"I don't know I have chores…" I said looking down awkwardly.
"It's fine Rin you can go. You've been the most distraught of all of us it's probably better you relax," Meiko said.
"Okay but can I get ready? Maybe give me an hour…"
"An hour?" Miku tilted her eyebrow in suspension.
"That's fine, I need to head back and get the driver anyway even though my original plan is that we could walk together and catch up… Well I'll be back in an hour!" Luka walked out of the kitchen almost as soon as she came.
"Rin I'll let you borrow one of my dresses, let's go up to my room!" Miku said standing up and practically dragging me away from the table. Once we were in Miku's room the girl had me sit on the bed with her.
"Rin are you okay? I know the boy you had a crush on died at a tragically but you seem like a completely different person!"
Miku was right, while Rin and I were friends I hadn't known her for as long as Miku and everyone else in this town has. I had to tell somebody what was going on, I mean the angel man never told me I had to keep this a secret.
"Miku what do you think happens when we die?" I asked.
"Well if you are good you're soul goes to heaven and if you are bad you're soul goes to hell," Miku said.
"And I forget but does the bible talk about angels taking people's souls or switching them?" I asked.
"I've never heard anything about trading souls…"
"Would you believe me if I said I was really Len's soul inside of Rin's body."
…
Silence.
"Maybe? It would explain why you are acting weird but I need proof that you aren't just making a cruel death joke to your best friend," Miku finally said.
"Kiyoteru!"
An angel appeared in front of us. He was sitting in midair and reading a book, not noticing that just me calling his name had summoned him.
"You what the fu-" Miku's voice made Kiyoteru look up. He looked at Miku and then looked at me.
"What do you want little soul boy?" Kiyoteru asked.
"Little soul boy?" Miku looked like she wanted to laugh but held back thinking maybe this wasn't the best situation to laugh in.
"I needed to tell someone else about what happened last night because I'm apparently a really shitty Rin."
"Okay but is this woman trustworthy? If she isn't I'll have to take her soul to once our contract is up."
"Woah I promise I won't tell anyone! Please don't take my soul," Miku pleaded.
"Alright calm down woman I won't take your soul. This boy told you the truth. The young nun was sick and Len found her in the chapel on the verge of death. Then I came and we struck up a deal. That girl's dying wish was to live long enough to see her sister be wed so the man offered for me to put his soul in her body since I couldn't change that her time was up but now his time will be up as well when the wedding is over." Kiyoteru said.
"That's awful… I didn't know Rin was sick I-I should have spent more time with her… and then Len will die too!? Why does he have to die?"
"Because souls can't stay in other bodies for too long plus he won't have a body to go to after this. By the time the wedding rolls around his body would have decomposed so I couldn't hide it anywhere and just make it seem like he temporarily left. If he wanted to be in her body for one day I could have kept him alive but the wedding is in two months. This is how it has to be."
Miku was wiping tears from her eyes.
"Well I'll also help Len in honoring my best friends wish, you can count on me!" She puffed out her chest in pride.
"I don't really care just don't tell anyone about this, goodbye!" And with that Kiyoteru was gone.
"Maybe I should have had him take my soul," Miku said.
"Why?" I asked, was she that messed up over Rin's death that she might want to die as well.
"Because that angel was super hot."
"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.
"I mean I wouldn't mind going to heaven with him while I'm still in my prime," Miku said.
"But what if you went to hell?" I asked.
"I can't go to hell I'm a nun." She said plainly.
"I think your logic is screwed…" I sighed.
"Whatever let's not dwell on that any longer! Now that I am in on this situation I am going to give you daily Rin lessons so you can successfully pull off being Rin after the Len is dead grief period has passed. We start our lesson in Oasis!"
