Chapter 2

Reaper

Silk. That's what Kagome felt under her skin when her mind began to awaken. She wasn't the foolish kind who would deny what happened to her last time she was awake. She knew a car hit her, and she knew she had to be dead. Hospital beds didn't have silk sheets.

Her eyes opened to see black, that was the color of the silk sheets. Black and smooth just like Inuyasha's beautiful hair, that was the last thing she saw before her demise. Was Inuyasha alive? If he was dead he deserved it for being an idiot, why would someone who hated her so much risk his life trying to help her.

"Higurashi Kagome," a female voice said in her ear.

Kagome turned around so now only her back felt the pleasure of the black silky sheets on the comfortable bed and faced what had to be an angel. She had a smile on her face and was beautiful despite wearing what looked like a leather suit equipped with weapons that belonged in the feudal era. She was probably the angel that was going to take Kagome to heaven, where she would be lonely only for a little bit before meeting up with her family and Hojo again.

"That's me," she said.

"Wow," the angel noted, "you are my very first patient who has been calm, or is this denial? You realize your dead right?"

Kagome nodded, "Yeah. I wasn't paying attention when that car hit me, and this silk helps a lot."

"You sure you're okay? Death is hard for some, but if you are ready to accept it I need you to sign this forum."

Kagome was presented with a pen and a 10-paged document that would declare she understood she was dead, "The after life has paper work?"

"Well if you freak out later talking about how you don't belong here and you were screwed over or something we can through this in your face and say you accepted it earlier, because if you aren't ready to accept it we can offer you free consoling, but after signing you have to pay for it with your own money if you need it, which isn't cheap by the way."

Kagome was about to deny she was dead since this wasn't how she envisioned heaven, "There is money in the after life? Is this a dream?"

"You can't sign until you cut the dream talk out. I need you to accept you're dead, and yes we use money. Usually when paper work is involved it's to secure some rich man's money, or has things changed on Earth?"

Even though she was confused Kagome signed the stupid paper admitting she was dead, because even if she wasn't it wouldn't matter when she woke up.

"Oh and this also," the angel gave her another piece of paper, "this is to confirm you understand your death will be handled by me, an in-training reaper, instead of a certified one. If you wish to be assigned to a fully licensed reaper you may request one at this time."

"An in-training reaper?"

"My name is Sango," she smiled introducing herself, "before getting my license I have to handle juvenile death cases such as yours."

Kagome signed not understanding why death involved so much paper work, and how was this girl the grim reaper? She was too nice and understanding. Where was her cape and scythe?

"Now that everything is confirmed I just have to take you to your new home," Sango smiled sweetly, "usually I have to take you to court to determine where you belong, but being the princess that you are you're place has already been reserved."

Since Sango used the words princess that must have meant Inuyasha was telling the truth and she was too righteous for her own good. She spent her whole life being such a goody two shoes that she wasn't even going to get judged. Wait, Inuyasha?

"Can you tell me about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked Sango.

Sango checked her clipboard, "Umm last name?"

"I don't know it. He has long black hair and brown eyes."

"Not registering. I have dealt with at least two hundred dead people today Kagome I can't remember appearances at the top of my head. Any nicknames or anything?"

"Well another friend of mine calls him mutt face and-

"Oh that Inuyasha," Sango said quickly, "I must have worked too much today, I mean how many Inuyasha's are there honestly, but you threw me off when you mentioned his human disguise."

"Human disguise?"

"Inuyasha was assigned to be your guardian, but now that you are dead I will be your counselor. Let's go."

Kagome followed the grim reaper through a black door. She had done the right thing and accepted she was dead, which shouldn't have been easy, but it didn't matter because she was confused. Inuyasha was in disguise and her guardian, and still how could somebody as nice as Sango be a grim reaper who handed out paper work?

"So heaven has it's own bureaucracy?" Kagome asked out of sarcastic curiosity.

She answered with a shrug, "I wouldn't know I've never been there, but if you ask me heaven is just for a bunch of preppy angels who do a few good deeds every hundred years and think their saints."

"You've never been there, so this would be the first time we're going there."

Sango turned around with a frown, "Kagome don't you know anything?"

"Well I guess I need to be a bit informed. I didn't know I would be required to fill out paper work to be dead or that Inuyasha had any purpose whatsoever than being a jerk, so there is a lot more I need to learn."

"Kagome, you're going to hell."

(End, for now)

AN: Short chapter, but this time I am going to separate chapters by when they get to the point. Point of this one is that Sango is a grim reaper in training. I am also trying to set up the world where this fic will take place. The after life I created involves a lot of paper work!
