'...' thinking

"..." talking


"Thinking of you wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows. Starting a new journey may not be so hard. Or maybe it's already begun. There are many worlds,but they share the same sky...One sky, one destiny..."

-Unknown


Kagome woke up to find herself in the middle of a field of a school building that she didn't recognize and got up. 'I thought I died. Was it all a dream?' She didn't recognize this high school and her surroundings were unfamiliar as well. 'Where...where am I?' Kagome spotted a couple of kids lounging about by the building. They looked like kids who had decided to skip class. Was she desperate enough to ask kids like these where she was?

"Umm... excuse me?" Kagome asked a purple-red haired girl. "Do you know where I am?" "A newcomer huh?" She responded. "This is the afterlife. Your dead." Kagome was shocked by her answer. "Sorry, but I'm not the one who enjoys being pranked upon," Kagome said a bit impatiently. "I'm not joking. This is the afterlife. That means you must have died, right? Any memories that you recall?" 'The car accident!' Kagome remembered. "I remember being in a car accident, but what am I doing here?"

"This is the place where people who didn't have such an enjoyable life when they were still alive come to after they die. Something must've happened to you that stopped your from resting in peace." Kagome thought about what might have stopped her from so-called "resting in peace."

"Well anyway," the girl continue. "The names Yuri, or as some people like Hinata-kun over there," Yuri pointed at one of the two blue haired guys. "Call me Yurippe. We're the Like-Hell-We're-Going-To-Die Battlefront, though we should really change our name. Before, we recruited people who wanted to fight against Kami-sama for giving them an unfair life until we made allies with Tenshi, or Kanade Tachibana, which her real name."

"Who's Tachibana?" Kagome asked. Yuri pointed at a small quiet silver-haired girl with honey colored eyes that looked like Inuyasha. "She was special powers that she creates herself using a software program called Angel Player and she is the student council president here. Before we found out she was human, we thought she was a servant of Kami, then we realized she wasn't." "How?" "You can ask someone else later. Anyway, the school's student council vice president, Ayato Naoi, is also part of our battlefront," Yuri pointed to a boy with short black hair wearing a cap, like a sailor or a train conductor's.

"Then if you have no enemies, why are you guys still a battle front?" "It's because of a rumor that a monster that's been roaming around this school for the last five hundred years or so. Rumors are rumors, of course, but it was spotted at the school recently. The student who saw it claimed for it to look almost human like with long silver hair wearing something red and...and... there was one more detail. What was it again?"

"You the pair of white doggy ears on it's head?" The other blue haired boy interjected. He was holding what seemed to be an ax and he had this maniacal look in his eyes. Kagome noted to herself to never get on his nerves. "Yeah! Thanks Noda. The witness recalled a pair of white doggy ears on top if it' head. Uhh, Kagome? Is something bothering you?"

Kagome brought herself out of her trance and shook her head. "Nope, I'm fine." "Good. So far, the creature has come to the school more recently than ever and we defend the school. He seems intent on killing on whoever tries to kill him, such as Fujimaki-kun." Yuri jerked her head to the direction of a black haired boy with slit eyes.

"But aren't you guys already dead?" Kagome asked feeling more confused than ever. Could this creature really be who she might think it was? "In this world, you can 'die.' You'll be dead for a few minutes, possibly hours, and then once you're 'revived,' your body has healed itself, but the pain lingers." Yuri shivered at this, remembering some unpleasant memories. "So it's sort of like being immortal?" Kagome asked slowly.

"A bit, I guess, except for the part that you're already dead. So, are you willing to join us to fight this monster?" Kagome stood and thought about it. She didn't really want to fight again. 'But what if the thing Yuri was talking about was him? I'll have to fine out more information and actually see it to verify that's it's him though.'

"I'll join. My name is Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said. "Good to have you Kagome-san. Welcome to the Like-Hell-We're-Going-To-Die Battlefront. This is Takamatsu, Otonashi, Shiina, Yusa, Fujimaki, Hinata, TK, Matsushita, Oyama, Kaede, Takeyama, Noda, and Ayato Naoi. There are other members of the battlefront, but their doing their own things right now. Come to the principal's office to receive your uniform and your first operation this evening at eighteen o'clock sharp (6 pm)." And with that, Yuri walked back into the building with everyone else following with her except for a few that went to do whatever they did during the school day. Kagome was left standing alone by herself.

Kagome felt someone tug onto her shirt and turned around to find Kaede looking up at her with Otonashi standing a bit father away, waiting for Kaede. "Kagome-san, would you like to have lunch with Otonashi and I?" She whispered in a soft voice, her golden eyes looking up to Kagome. "Sure," Kagome said and walked with Otonashi and Kanade.

As they walked, Kagome wondered if it was a coincidence that she came into this world to see him. 'Everyone here has their own secrets of their lives. What happens when they let their memories go?' Kagome decided not to think about it. Besides, she was beginning to feel hungry. How ironic that even after death, she still had to eat to "live."

When they arrived at the school cafeteria, Otonashi handed her a slip of paper. It was a meal ticket. "You'll need this to buy the food," he said. "A-Arigato," Kagome stuttered. She took the meal ticket and read it. "Is mapo tofu okay?" Kagome asked. She could handle spicy food, but not if it was too strong. "Try it," was Otonashi's response. 'Kanade's buying it, so it must okay,' Kagome thought.

As they sat down to eat their lunch Kagome hungrily took a spoonful of the mapo tofu and shoved it into her mouth. She froze as she felt the spiciness of the tofu in her mouth and her face felt redder than ever. She closed her eyes as they began to tear up and swallowed the tofu. She was panting, but then after taste was pretty good.

Otonashi was SO in for it.

"O...To...Na...Shi..." Kagome said slowly and quietly as a fire surrounded her. Otonashi looked up from his fried rice meal. "Was it good?" He asked innocently. TOO innocently in Kagome's opinion.

As Hinata Hideki stood outside the school, he wondered how Yui would have been like if she Kagome. 'She'd probably would've been like, "Hi I'm Yui-chan! I am the lead singer of the band Girls Dead Monster! I was and still is a HUGE fan of the former leader, Masami Iwasawa-sama! She wrote a lot of songs that I really enjoyed, like The Crow Song and Alchemy! Both of them are so good I can't decide which one is... Hey! Where are you going? I haven't finished talking about the member in the band and Iwasawa-sama's song My Song!" and would hunt Kagome down till her death.'

Which is of course, never going to happen. They were already dead after all.

His thoughts were disturbed as he heard a thundering noise coming from the school building. His head looked at the direction of the entrance of the school and suddenly, a smiling but scared Otonashi burst out of the school with Kagome chasing him and screaming bloody murder. "Yo! Otonashi!" Hinata called out to Otonashi. When Otonashi turned to him, Hinata smiled and waved. "Good luck!" Hinata shouted.

Hinata merely smiled and chuckled at the death glare from Otonashi while Kagome chased him, hot on his heels.
