Angel Sleep

Finally did the second part! Sorry for taking so long. I had a bunch of big important tests this week, and no offense (though I would only be offending myself ^^"") but my writing comes second to school! However, here it is, and hopefully it will go faster!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
"Geeeeh???" Shuichi yelped.
Climbing to his feet, (not technically being alive, it shouldn't hurt) he stalked forward until he was nose to nose with the girl (angel?)
"How?"
"Well, you were in a car accident right?"
Obedient nod.
"You got pretty banged up. I mean, not too seriously to the body, but you did get a serious concussion."
Wince.
"Broke your collarbone and a few ribs along with a sprained knee."
Stronger wince.
"You were actually suppose to die."
Shuichi was now stone.
"However, since you have such a strong connection to the living world, you didn't die. Instead you just went into a coma."
Shuichi started to smile, then it started to fade, uncertain now whether or not the last comment was good or bad. Finally he just settled for a bewildered, dazed look. One eyebrow raised up and the other shot down as he bit down on his lower lip.
"Then… Now what?"
"Well, I'm not quite sure! There's a major confliction here. We had you recorded as dying in this car accident, but you fought it so much that we couldn't take your soul. And since we didn't take your soul when we were suppose to, everything is all screwed up. Normally we would just take you late, but that could totally mess up the whole equilibrium of the system. And if the equilibrium is all off, than the higher ups will get mad and punish us, and that would be bad." The girl shuttered.
Shuichi stared at her, face completely blank.
"I have absolutely nooo clue what you just said." He stated slowly.
The girl seemed to come back to himself, jerking her head from side to side as if to dispell a horrid vision. She blinked a few times and took a deep breath.
"Right, right, well, don't worry about it. Just know that right now your not alive, but not really dead."
The singer flung out his hands in frusteration. "Do I get any say in this?"
Looking indecisive, the girl kinda wavered for a few seconds, "Well, kinda."
"Kinda?"
"I know this sounds old-fashioned and over-used (: P) but you gotta help 4 people before you can go back."
"Well," Shuichi paused in thought for a second, "that doesn't sound too hard."
"And," The girl continued, "You gotta do it while your in this spirit form without being able to communicate to the people except in their dreams."
"Oh, right." Shuichi smiled started to slide.
"And if you don't do it in the next two days, you will not only be dead, but your consciousness won't survive as well. You'll be completely erased."
Shuichi gulped, "Suddenly I'm not feeling quite as confindent."
"You must be certain you want to do this, cause once you start, there's no going back and either you succeed and live or fail and be erased. If you decide not to, you'll just go no to the other world."
As frightened as he was, there was no pause in Shuichi's reply. He cared for Yuki too much. "Yes, I'll do it."
"But on the up side!" The girl walked closer, tripping over her own feet before staggering up to him, "I'll be at your side to help you," She paused, "well, at least some of the time."
"I'm dead." Shuichi whimpered.
The girl looked affronted for a second, before deciding to put it behind her. It wouldn't very well do to mess up so badly on her first assignment because the boy unknowingly insulted her.
"Well, I'm Sakura, and if you have any questions, come ask me and I'll be happy to tell you. It's what I'm here for, or more accurately, all I'm allowed to do."
Shuichi's eyebrows shot up and he gave her the most incredulous look. His mouth gapped a few times in shock, but it was too much for him to actually say anything. Raising his hands to rub them violently over his face, he paused and took a deep breath, before he said with slow precission.
"You're not allowed to do anything except… talk to me?"
Twiddling her thumbs, Sakura gave a small sheepish laugh. "Well, see, it's my first assignment, and I have to prove that I can even do this before they give me any sort of powers."
"Ooh my Gawd." Shuichi sqeaked.
Sakura looked down, her hair falling into her face to as to obscure the expression on her face. However, Shuichi could feel the sudden sad tension in the room and with sudden alarm realized that he may have hurt her feelings.
"Ach! Don't cry! I'm not mad, I'm sure you'll be great!" he hurried to reassure her.
Slowly, her head raised until he could see her teary brown eyes. She sniffled a few times before struggled to place a smile on her face. It trembled and looked quite pathetic. But she was trying.
"Right!" She forced out.
There was silence in the room as Sakura fought to get her composure back and Shuichi fought for the courage to ask something. Finally, the girl noticed his struggle and leaned in close.
"Do you want to ask me something?"
Shuichi licked his lips nervously, before looking up at her, beseachingly.
"Is there…" He trailed off, looking uncertain before starting up again. "Is there any way I could see him?"
It took no time for Sakura to understand what her charge was asking.
"Yes, he won't be able to see you, but we can move freely around the living world."
A bright smile lit up Shuichi face and some of his old bounce came back with a vengeance. He giggled excitedly and rushed for the door, grabbing her hand on the way and pulling her behind him.
"Well, lets go!"
Sakura laughed and pulled oh his tugging arm.
"It would take years to get to the living room if we went through there!"
Shuichi stopped, a look of panic on his face, "Than how do I get to see Yuki?"
"As I said, we can move freely around the living room, just take my hand and I can teleport us there." She grinned
"Teleport?" Shuichi repeated dumbly.
"Yep, one of the few powers we all have." She reached out and grabbed him, "Ready?"
Shuichi looked uncertainly down at their linked hands. He knew there was no guarantee he would succeed, but there was also no way he would not try. If he didn't, that would mean he couldn't live with Yuki anymore, and he couldn't think about that. Maybe it was too much, but he couldn't even imagine not being with his love for that long of time and if he had to choose between trying to be with Yuki now and maybe being erased or waiting for 40 years until Yuki died, he would take the former. No thought to it. He's rather not exist than be away from Yuki for that wrong. With a deep breath, he looked up and smiled, completely relaxed in his resolve.
"Ready."

Alright, that wasn't too long I'm sorry, and it wasn't that actiony or anything, but it's getting there. I'm trying to actually set up the story (Though I'm not doing very good ;_;) and so I have to take my time. I'm impatient to just get it to finish (Because I like having a finished story) But if I do that I won't be able to give it as much flavor as I hope to. (Really really hope ^^"") GIGGLES! Righto, that's all you have to read.
