Through Death Will Us Part
Chapter 1
"Ah! What are you doing here?!" Sunohara shouted, recoiling back.
"I came here to meet a friend." I said, walking past the three of them.
"Tomoyo, you have a friend in the guys dorm?" Ryou asked.
"Cool, can we meet him?" Sunohara asked.
"No." I said, walking past him and knocking on her door.
"Misae-san, are you here?" I asked, knocking on the door.
"Whoa, so Tomoyo knows Misae-san?" Sunohara asked.
"Just drop it, Sunohara." Tomoya said, dragging him away.
"What is it, Sakagami-san?" Misae-san asked, opening the door.
"I've come for some advice." I said.
"Ah, advice? Well, come in." Misae-san said, opening the door.
"So, you need advice for being the student council president?" She asked, sitting down on the bed.
"No, I need advice about something else." I said, sitting down and picking up the no named cat.
"Really? What?" She asked.
"Well, Misae-san… how do you know if you're in love?" I asked, looking up at her.
"Well, that is an out-of-the-blue question, but I think I can answer it." She then looked up, like she was pondering something. "So, let's say that the person you like comes by. Usually, your stomach will feel sort of weird and fluttery, like it might burst. If that's the case, than you probably like them more than just a crush."
"Okay, I have another question." I said.
"Well, go ahead." She said, smiling.
"Let's say the person you like already has a girlfriend. What do you do about it?"
"Well, what do you feel when you see the two of them together?"
"I don't really know how to answer that. I feel sort of happy, yet kind of sad at the same time." I said, looking down.
"Well, here's something to think about." She said, smiling. "When you're in love, it means that you care about that person and their happiness more than anything. So even if they laugh and smile with another girl, you should still feel happy about their happiness. If you truly love them, than their happiness will become your happiness."
"I see… so what do I do right now?" I asked.
"Well, since I'm not you I can't answer that. However, if I was in this position, I'd probably tell him my feelings and just have him tell me the truth straight up. It's definitely better than just having him not know for the rest of your lives. Besides, if you tell him and he rejects you, at least you can get over your feelings and move on with your life."
"I see. Thank you, Misae-san." I said, bowing and leaving.
"Oh, and Sakagami-san, if you anything goes wrong, you can always come back here and talk about it!" She called over my shoulder.
"I see… so I should confess my feelings to him…" I said, walking away, looking down.
I was oblivious to everything around me, when suddenly I saw a very strange scene. Two adults were running out of a bread shop, one of them was crying, the other was shoving bread into his mouth trying to say something like "I love them!"
Since I was feeling sort of hungry, I decided I might as well see what sort of food they had there, so I walked in.
"Welcome!" A girl said, smiling. She couldn't have been more than two or three years older than me, and was short to.
"Ah, do you go to the high school?" She asked.
"Yes, my name is Sakagami Tomoyo, second year."
"Hi, my name is Furukawa Nagisa. I graduated last year." She said, smiling.
"What a coincidence…" I said, smiling a little.
"Well, what would you like to buy?" Nagisa-chan asked.
"Um, how about something that tastes good?" I asked, browsing over some displayed bread.
"Well, that bread that you're looking at was made by my mom. She has kind of a strange taste when it comes to food, so you might want to try something over in that corner." Nagisa-chan said, pointing towards another section.
"Okay, I would like to take two of these." I said, pointing to two regular pieces of bread.
"Okay, your total comes to 970 Yen." She said, smiling.
"Thank you, Furukawa-san." I said, bowing.
With my new purchase inside a shopping bag, I walked out trying to get to my house.
Unfortunately, I never made it.
The last thing I heard was a horn honking, I turned, and the last thing I saw was white.
I awoke in a world of pure white.
"Ah, Sakagami Tomoyo-san… the strongest person in Japan, possibly the world… so tough, so noble, and you died in a car accident." A voice said behind me.
I whirled around to face a man in a black robe with wavy green hair.
"So, you are Sakagami Tomoyo, hm?" He said, smiling.
"Yes, who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Hiruko Mitsubayashi. But, you can just refer to me as the Angel of Death."
"I see."
"You do realize that since you're here, that means you're dead." Hiruko said, smiling.
"You mean…" I died before I got to tell him my feelings?
"That's right. You're dead."
"But…"
"You know, your life was so boring, even I, who has lived since the beginning of time, was bored observing it. So, I think I might make a deal with you." Hiruko said, smiling.
"What sort of a deal?" I asked.
"Well, do you have anything that you couldn't accomplish when you were alive?" Hiruko asked.
"Well… there is… one thing…"
"Alright, so what is it?"
"Um…"
"Well it doesn't matter. The rules of this deal are this: I will bring you back to life. In exchange, you only have one year left to live. In other words, I'm just extending your life by one year. But one year from today, when you die, I get your soul." Hiruko said, smiling a twisted sadistic grin.
I took a deep breath, exhaled, and gave my answer.
Mukuro: So, will Tomoyo comply with the deal? Read the next chapter to find out!
Mukuro: Review!
