Chapter 23 He's Worth Everything
Kairi's POV
"Kairi", I heard Sora say in shock causing me to freeze up. "Kairi, is that you?"
After Sora said this...I sighed in defeat before turning around.
"Hey Sora", I greeted.
"Kairi", Sora said in shock. "What are you doing here?"
I was about to answer, but Sora's new partner beat me to it.
"Sora", he started. "You know this reaper?"
"She's not a reaper", Sora stated.
"Then why is she wearing a support reaper's uniform", Sora's partner asked.
After he said this...Sora looked at me in shock...and I sighed in defeat.
"It's true", I revealed. "I'm a reaper now."
When I said this Sora looked at me in shock.
"Wh...what", he asked in shock. "How?
Flashback
I opened my eyes...and found myself in a black void.
"Huh", I said in confusion. "Where am I?"
"Hello there", I heard somebody say.
I turned around to see who said this...and saw a white figure.
"Who are you", I asked.
"I go by many names", the figure revealed. "But you may refer to me as...the composer."
"The composer", I asked in confusion.
"I am in charge of the Reaper's Game in Shibuya", the composer revealed.
"You", I asked in shock.
"Yes", the composer replied before changing the subject. "You know, I have never met a player that wasn't happy to get a second chance at life."
"How do you know that", I asked in shock.
"I have eyes everywhere", the composer revealed. "Tell me, why are you not happy to be given a second chance at life."
After I was asked this...I looked down sadly.
"Because I'll be leaving someone behind", I revealed.
"Your partner", the composer asked. "Do you really care about him that much?"
"I do", I replied.
"Enough to give up your humanity for him?"
"Give up my humanity", I asked in confusion. "What does that mean?"
"I can grant you way in which you can stay with your partner", the composer revealed. "But you will have to give up your humanity in return."
"What is it", I asked.
"In order to stay here with the one that means so much to you, you will have to become...a reaper."
When I heard this...I looked at the reaper in shock.
"If I want to stay with Sora...I have to become a reaper?"
"Yes", the composer replied. "And there will be no way to reverse it once it is done. Is this boy really worth it?"
I didn't even need to think about that answer.
"He's worth everything."
HotXbun: Uh Oh.
