Chapter 11: Death and More Death

Tatsuki's POV

A truck. A stupid FREAKING truck! That's what killed me! No, I couldn't die fighting off ninjas or sacrificing my life to save hundreds of others, I had to get in a traffic accident. A freaking TRAFFIC ACCIDENT!

If you can't tell, I am thoroughly pissed. Not only am I dead, but I died out of my own obliviousness! Now I'm just a spirit floating around. Oh great, now the police arrived. The emergency response team just declared I was dead. Thank you for pointing it out once again! Rub some more salt in the wound why don't you?

It is so agitating being a spirit! You can't do anything! I don't think anyone can see or hear me. People actually walk right through me now! If I don't find someone, I think I may go insane. Oh! I see Hakari standing in the park looking at a cellphone or something. Maybe he can see or hear me. "Hakari!" Hey he can hear me! He jumped at the sound of my voice. He looked right at me and had a pained expression. What is he worried about, besides me being dead. What he says next takes everything I thought I knew and flipped it around.

Normal POV

Tatsuki drifted to where Hanataro was standing. His soul tracker (I don't know if it has a name or not) kept saying a spirit was nearby. He heard Tatsuki's voice and freaked out to see she was the ghost. Hethought a moment before beginning to speak. "Tatsuki, I think it is time for you to learn the truth.

Tatsuki POV

Whoa! Slow down! Hak- I mean Hanataro just finished telling me about this... soul society place. It seemed far-fetched, but after seeing him come out of his body thing, I wasn't sure about anything anymore. He explained soul reapers and the squads, zanpacto swords, kids, hakkudo, and other such things until I thought my head would burst.

"So, all this really exists? And I now have to go there as well?" I couldn't keep the worry out of my voice.

"Tatsuki, with your incredible abilities, you would make an outstanding soul reaper." I thought about Hanataro's offer.

"Would I be able to stay with you?" His nod was the only convincing I needed. I took his hand and we traveled to the place that would be my new home for the rest of time.

-Soul Society- Normal POV

To a person who hasn't ever been to the soul society before, he or she may think it was the set for a movie or a village from ancient times. People, souls, everywhere were doing various things, as if they were still alive. The soul reapers were similar to samurai, while normal souls were like villagers. All these sights were amazing to Tatsuki.

"Wow, this place is amazing. Don't you ever get lost?" Hanataro laughed at her remark.

"Only in the sewers, but I know my way around both above and underground." I am about to ask another question, but an angry shout interrupts me.

"I SWEAR, IF YOU DON'T STOP PISSING ME OFF, I WILL MAKE YOUR AFTERLIFE A LIVING HELL!"

"LIKE I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHOSE HAIR LOOKS LIKE A RED PINEAPPLE!

"WHAT WAS THAT YOU BUG-EYED FREAK?"

"AT LEAST MY EYEBROWS DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO MOLEST MY FACE!"

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?"

Yes, Renji and Kururu have finally joined the party. They had been screaming at each other for the past three hours.

"KNOCK IT OUT!" Tatsuki took matters into her own hands by promptly kicking Renji back into Kururu, the two falling to the ground in a heap. "I have been having one HELL of a day! I am just trying to walk home when a stupid truck comes by and squishes me into a pancake. Then, I find out almost everything I knew was a LIE, and to top it all off, I am stuck in this crazy place with two loudmouth MORONS! If you now what is good for you, you will not cross me."

Renji and Kururu had identical looks of terror. "Kid, that is one scary chick."

"I know, she is the one that sent me here in the first place." Kururu now was hiding behind the sleeve of Renji's kimono. Luckily, another soul reaper appeared.

"Are you the new people?" As they both nodded, she quickly turned around and motioned for them to follow. "The Head Captain has requested your presence to discuss certain matters pertaining to your... unique situations. Follow me now, and don't forget to show the utmost respect to the Head Captain." Tatsuki and Kururu exchanged worried glances. What was in store for them now?
