Chapter 2
Chad was calling the ambulance from what I could see and also the police while he pinned down the shooter. I turned toward Ichigo who was looking at me, not my body but me as a ghost. "You can see me?"
He nodded then I slightly smiled "Looks like I wasn't the only one who can see ghosts"
"I'm sorry, if you weren't here I would be…"
"Don't apologize, it was my choice to make"
"How can I not apologize, you died because of me!"
"I haven't died yet, I think as long as this chain connects me to my body, I'll be able to come back. Dying isn't exactly the end as you can see, from all that had happened I wouldn't be surprised if I went to heaven, plus for now you can come see me until a shinigami comes and take me to heaven"
The police came at that instant along with an ambulance. They arrested the shooter then I said goodbye and got in the ambulance with my body.
The chain connecting me to my body was severed in the hospital, there was no way I was coming back but for some reason I felt relieved, I used my life to save another even though my life was worthless. He felt worthy enough to die for since he had experienced something similar to what I had but at least he still had Chad.
I continued to stay with my body until they buried me and to my surprised, almost the entire school was here. After that I started thinking about what comes next. For a few days I walked around noticing that the chain continues to eat itself. I didn't mind much since it was still quite long so I went to bother Ichigo since he was the only one able to see me.
I later found out that his sister Kirin could see me and I was impressed by how tough she is. She said she didn't acknowledge that ghosts exists but she thank me for protecting her brother even at the cost of my own life.
I continued to observe their family and eventually finds out that their father isn't as normal as he looked, he was crazy. It didn't matter much though. Other than observing I only had casual conversation with Ichigo to pass the time.
He always seems a bit sad when looking at me and I constantly reminded him that it was not his fault. Eventually I started having an ominous feelings. I didn't want Ichigo to get involved so I left. I told him this might be the last time I see him and that he shouldn't regret my death but to grow stronger from it.
After an hour of walking, the chain got even smaller and there was only five foot left of it. I didn't know what would happen if it disappeared but I knew nothing good would come out of it.
From out of nowhere I heard a howling screech from the distant and saw a giant figure running toward me. It had a mask that represented a wolf and it had a hole in its chest but it's body was a cross between that of a human and wolf. It bared its fangs and I jumped away just in time before it had me in its jaws.
I didn't know what was going on but this was no ordinary being, it was a monster that wanted to eat souls like me. I was very interested in the creature but I had no time to think as it tried to strike me down once more. It's claws grazed me but it only got me more excited. I jumped away as it attacked again but this time I brought the heel of my foot down on its face, smashing it down on the ground but it did nothing to the mask.
I continued to dodge him but soon enough it grabbed the chain connected to me and threw me. It then pierced me with one of its claws and I screamed out in pain. I couldn't move though as it is but the creature looked at me with both a hungry and sad look. It looked conflicted then it removed its claw and then ran off into the night.
The wound I had gotten healed incredibly fast and soon it was as if it wasn't even there anymore. I continued to walk until I spotted someone wearing a black kimono who also happens to be carrying a sword on a roof. I called out to him and he jumped down to where I was. If I had to assume something, I assumed this is what a shinigami is since no one goes around wearing what he does nor able to jump off a roof without getting harmed. He turned the hilt of his sword toward me and bumped my head with it then everything went black.
