Chapter 2

A bright light shone on Sakura's face, cutting through the surrounding darkness like sharp knife. Instinctively she looked up and noticed with shock that she was floating again…but this time it was up, toward the light and not away from it.

Now what's going on…more madness? Damn, death is weird. Whatever I expected, it definitely was not this.

"Welcome…to Heaven," said three soft and musical voices from behind her. Sakura turned around and saw three beautiful blond girls, each equipped with a pair of majestic wings and clothed in white silk robes. Angels…wait, this is Heaven?

"Um...hi..." stuttered Sakura. Of course she was in awe…looking upon a real angel for the first time would have that affect on anyone.

"Oh, don't be intimidated of us," said one of the angels with a smile. "Save that for God."

"Wha-Wha-What? I have to meet God? But like...why?"

"Well you see," another one of the angels spoke up, "We sense that you have something you need to do…something you want to do. It is rare that we get this feeling from people who have already passed into an afterlife. When we sense this in someone, we know that their death was not decreed by Fate, that it was pure accident. Therefore, we have propositions for these kinds of souls."

"Um, okay…but I don't think I need to do anything…"

More like I can't do anything…I mean…he killed me right?

The third angel smiled kindly. "When we say someone has to finish something that they couldn't my dear, we know what we are talking about. Please follow us."

"But really, I really don't have anything I-"

The angels ignored her feeble protests and pushed her in the direction of two huge doors. "God awaits you to speak about your situation." The first angel said. Seeing Sakura's panicked face, she added, "Don't worry, we're coming with you. What are you dawdling for? Go on, you have to go in first."

So, shaking from head to foot, Sakura pushed open the door and entered the vast room. Saying it was enormous was an understatement. It was…well, you use your imagination to describe "big".

"Haruno Sakura…" a powerful voice came floating down from the ceiling. It was loud, but not harsh. The voice sounded a little like her father's in fact. Sakura looked up but saw nothing.

"Um…hai, Kami-sama? Where are you…?" Not knowing what to do, Sakura decided to kneel because it seemed respectful.

"Stand up child. You do not need to see me to speak with me. Ah, well that is besides the point. We are here to talk about your death."

Sakura just stared.


So whaddya think? Sorry, I have no sense for chapter divisions.
