Chapter One: Oh, The Irony
The sound of a bell ringing rang out a three story school as student's started walking out heading home. Among the students, a teenage boy with short, messy brown hair and eyes wearing a black short-sleeve T-shirt with a white tiger design, A black and blue backpack slung over his shoulders, blue jeans, and white sneakers walked expertly through the crowd of students while having his nose in a manga. The manga he was reading was the fourth volume of Naruto.
"This is the fourth time I read this today." the teen muttered to himself as he quickly sidestepped a female student that suddenly stopped before continuing to walk. "No matter how many times I read the manga or watch the anime I can't get over this."
"Kyle!" The said teen looked behind him to see a boy the same age as him with short auburn hair and brown eyes wearing a green short-sleeve shirt, a brown messenger bag slung over his right shoulder, black jeans, and red sneakers with a black jacket wrapped around his waist running towards him. "Wait up!"
"Jason, what's up?" The now named Kyle greeted when the other teen was in front of him.
"You wanna hang out?" Jason asked. "I heard there's this new arcade that's suppose to have the latest fighting games."
"Sure, I have nothing else to do right now." Kyle nodded as the two started walking and he continued to read his manga.
"Are you reading that manga again?" Jason asked seeing the title of the manga. "You've read it what four times already? Don't you get tired of reading it over and over again?"
"Not really." Kyle shrugged as they walked past a playground and he sidestepped a boy playing with a ball still reading his manga. "I just love the characters and the plot."
"Weren't you complaining about wanting one character to die sooner?" Jason raised an eyebrow watching how Kyle easily sidestepping people in front of him as he read. "And how are you doing that?"
"Doing what?" Kyle asked looking at Jason with a confused look on his face.
"Sidestepping to dodge people without even looking." Jason clarified. "You do it as easy as breathing and have been doing it since we left school." Kyle still gave him a confused look as he sidestepped a woman running towards them. Jason pointed to Kyle. "Right there! You did it just now!"
"Oh." Kyle looked at his feet before looking back to Jason and shrugged. "I guess it was reflex."
"Reflex." Jason repeated giving Kyle a half-lidded stare as they stopped at a crosswalk when the light was red. "What are you, a martial arts master?"
Kyle just shrugged as they waited for the crosswalk light to turn green. When the light turned green and the cars stopped, everyone on both sides started walking across with Kyle again reading his manga sidestepping people in front of him. When it was just him and Jason that was still crossing as they talked, Kyle heard what sounded like a siren and turned his head to the right to see an ambulance speeding towards them. He looked at the driver's seat to see the driver was panicking as he tried to regain control and stop but it was too late. Without thinking, Kyle pushed Jason causing his head to hit the pavement in front of him.
"Ow!" Jason shouted pushing himself to a sitting position holding his slightly bleeding forehead hissing in pain his eyes shut tightly. "Hey man, what was that for?" it was then he heard the sound of impact and opened his eyes to see Kyle being sent flying rolling on the ground before stopping covered in his own blood. Jason's eyes widened and quickly got to his feet running to Kyle. "Kyle!"
'It hurts.' Kyle thought not able to use his voice, the edge of his vision turning black and red as a bunch of people in white uniforms stood over him shouting frantically but he couldn't hear them as his ears were ringing. 'Everything hurts, I feel so cold, I can't hear anything.' He tried to speak but ended up coughing up blood. He tried to move his arms but couldn't move them and felt pain when he did. 'I can't move. Is Jason okay?' Jason stood over him with only a scratch on his forehead and a worried look on his face. Kyle managed a relieved smile as Jason started shouting at him. 'Oh good, he only has a scratch but he'll live.' He coughed up more blood causing the people over him to panic. His eyelids started to feel heavy and he struggled to keep them open to no avail. 'I guess this is how I die. At least it was from saving someone.' He finally let his eyes close as he watched the people over him frantically shout at him. 'Probably telling me to hang in there. I'm sorry, but I can't last anymore.' His eyes finally close as his consciousness faded no longer able to feel anything.
Kyle P.O.V.
I feel so warm, but why? I thought I died. I could see a light from under my eyelids but I don't want to open them. I don't know why, but I feel safe being wrapped in this warmth. In the end, I couldn't keep my eyes shut and slowly open them only to whimper when the light directly hit my eyes. 'Wait, whimper?! I never whimper.' I lifted an arm to rub my eyes but paused at the hand I was staring at. My fingers are stubby and my arm seems a little chubby, kinda like a baby's arm.
"Oh, he woke up." A feminine voice said in a happy tone. I turned my head to the source of the voice to see a woman with long silky smooth auburn hair and beautiful lime green eyes wearing a sky blue kimono smiling down at me. "Did you sleep well Kojiro?"
'Who's Kojiro?' I thought in confusion as I stared at the woman. I tried to tell the lady that she got the wrong guy, but all that came out of my mouth was babbling gibberish. 'What the hell, what happened to my voice?!' I tried to move, but I felt some type of cloth wrapped around me I looked down to my own body to see I was in the woman's arms wrapped in a blue cloth. It wasn't until I felt the cloth rub against my skin that I realized I was naked under it and blushed in embarrassment.
"He's a curious one isn't he Akane?" I turned to the voice to see a man with blue hair with his bangs to the sides framing his face and brown eyes wearing a red kimono smiling at me. "Hey there little Kojiro."
'Again, who's Kojiro?!' I frantically thought. 'My name's Kyle Samson you idiots! Get that through your thick skulls!' I tried to wiggle my way out of the woman's arms but she just repositioned them so I wouldn't fall. It was then I caught sight of a mirror and saw my reflection. I couldn't believe what I saw, the pair of eyes that stared back at me wasn't my own brown eyes but lime green and I saw I had a tuft of blue hair, but it wasn't the eyes or hair that shocked me, it was the face of a baby wrapped in blue cloth staring back at me that shocked me. 'Is that me?!'
"I think Kojiro's interested in his reflection Kosuke." Akane I think was the woman's name said giggling in amusement at what I was doing.
'Wait, is the Kojiro their talking about me?' I looked back to the two people to see they were smiling down at me. 'Did I get reincarnated or something? If that's the case, does that make these two my parents?' It was then that I had a thought. 'Hold on, if I did get reincarnated then that makes me a baby right now. And if I'm a baby…' My eyes wandered to where my lower regions that was being covered by the blue cloth and they widened. 'That means I have to relive having a diaper on! Only this time I'll have memories of it happening!'
Three Months Later
It's been three month since I was reincarnated, and let's just say that life as a baby was boring and something that you don't want to relive. I did nothing but lay around, get breastfed, get my diaper changed, and have two new loving parents smile over me. Okay, the last part I don't mind, it's the diaper changing that I want to get over with as soon as possible. Feeling your own crap when you go is not pleasant to say the least. Despite that, I can see that Akane and Kosuke are caring parents. From their clothes and my new name, I'm guessing I'm somewhere in Japan.
It took three months, but I finally managed to at least crawl. My parents were surprised by how fast I learned crawl when it normally took a normal baby longer, but I want to stand on two feet again as quickly as possible.
Five Months Later
Five months living my new life and I'm starting to get restless to do the stuff I use to do in my past life. My father always seem to be out all the time. Doing what, I don't know. In fact, he's leaving today too. I was in my mother's arms so I was able to eavesdrop on their conversation this time.
"Do you have to go?" Akane asked with a worried look on her face being careful to support my head. "There are others that can do just as good a job as you."
"I have to." Kosuke said planting a kiss on Akane's cheek and ruffling the tuft of my hair smiling. "I have to make sure that the village is safe for both you and little Kojiro here so he can grow up to be a happy child."
"Just be safe out there." Akane said tightening her grip on me a little and I looked up to see that her eyes were watering a little. "I know how dangerous the battlefield can be when in enemy territory."
'Battlefield?' I thought in confusion as I listened to their conversation carefully. 'Did I get reincarnated during a war?'
"I'll be back." Kosuke promised wrapping his arms around Akane and me pulling us in a tight embrace. I struggle a little to get comfortable, but as I listened to their steady heartbeats I couldn't help but feel calm and a little drowsy as my eyelids started to feel heavy as I fight to stay awake as an inaudible yawn came out of my mouth. Kosuke saw this and whispered in Akane's ear. "I think someone's ready for a nap."
Akane looked down to me and nodded in agreement. After Kosuke walked out the door and closed it, Akane started walking to my room where my crib was as she slowly rocked me back and forth humming a soft tune smiling down at me as I listened to her soft and beautiful voice and the steady beating of her heart. My eyes felt heavy as I left out a yawn before they finally closed and fell asleep as Akane gently lowered me into my crib tucking me under a blue blanket and watched me sleep, the smile not leaving her face.
