Chapter Thirteen
I felt the warmth around me once again and smiled. "What's up?" I asked happily knowing that I'll be with Mikan soon.
"Something terrible has happened." The light said sadly.
"What?"
"You can't get your body back."
My eyes widened. "Why not?"
"Because, your mother had called a local priest to have your body cremated at a mortuary…you won't have a body to use if your body is burned."
"When?"
"When what?"
"When are they going to cremate my body?"
"9:30"
"Let me go back to Earth and try to stop them!"
"You'll be too late." The light said, "Besides, there wasn't anyone who believes that you were alive."
"I can name a few." I said, "Hotaru, Aoi, Yoichi, and Mikan,"
There was a moment of silence but then there was a chuckle. "You're a very intelligent boy." God said, "I will give you this one opportunity to try to save yourself from being turned into ashes."
"Thank you God."
I was suddenly thrown into the Earth at my house. I smiled and walked through the door to find it all disarranged. "Mikan?" I whispered.
There was crying from a distance. I ran as fast I could and found Mikan crying in front of a picture album. "She must have had a bad dream about me." I said sadly.
I walked over to her and walked into her body. "Are you alright?" I asked.
"Who is this?" She asked in a frightened voice.
"It's me, Natsume…I need you help once more and for sure, I'll be able to come back to you."
"How are you talking to me right now?"
"I'll tell you later! Just get off your ass and run to the mortuary or my body is going to be cremated and you won't be able to see me again!"
Mikan gasped and stood up and ran to the door and put on her tennis shoes. "What time is your cremation?" She asked.
"9:30"
Mikan looked at her watch and gasped. It was already 9:00. "Natsume." She whispered.
"What's wrong?"
"It takes half an hour to get there." She mumbled, "And I won't be able to get a cab since all of them are probably booked and there is traffic."
"Run." I said.
Mikan nodded her head and started sprinting. "There is also a chance I won't make it in time even if I sprint there." Mikan said.
"I'll stall them." I said, "I'll give you as much time as I can…I'll talk to my mom some how."
Mikan smiled. "I can't wait to see you again." She whispered.
"Me either."
The walk sign was red yet the cars were not passing. Mikan sprinted across but then, a large horn sounded from Mikan's left ear. Mikan turned and her eyes widened. A large truck was coming up to Mikan. "I don't want to die yet." She whispered to me.
I got out of Mikan's body and made my hands solid and pushed Mikan across the street. She fell on her knees and was stunned. I passed through Mikan. "Watch out you idiot! If you die then there is no point in me coming back right?" I said to her, "Run."
She started to run. I flapped my white wings and flew to the mortuary. As I flew I passed a church which had a large clock tower. It was already 9:15. I flapped my wings as hard as I could to fly faster and to stop my mother from burning my body. Mikan was trying her hardest to have me come back…I want to…I want to live!
