Me: YOLO people! (whatever that means) I'm back with a new chapter. For al of you who are reading my other stories. I'm rewriting them and they should all be updated and rewritten by the time Christmas comes around. So don't worry, I didn't abandon them.

Friend: …then why are you taking so long to update.

Me: Cause I have school dumbass. Man, APUSH is such a pain.

Friend: Tell me about. My brain hurts just thinking about it.

Other Friend: That's only because you crammed on tests the day before you had to take them.

Me: uhhhh….*sweatdrops*

Friend: I'm gonna go now.

Me: Me too.

*Me and Friend walk away before Other Friend can go into lecture mode*

Other Friend: sigh…eternalfire123 does not own anything except the plot and will try to update as soon as possible.

Chapter 1: A New Life

Reaching the village, Yamamoto wipes the sweat off his forehead. It was very hot and he was starting to get hungry and thirsty.

As he walked around the small village, he noticed how there were many sick and sad people sitting or walking around. Heck, even the kids and plant looked depressed.

'I wonder why they're all sad' Yamamoto thought.

Continuing with his wandering, eventually, he stood in front of a small house-like building.

Compelled by some unknown force, Yamamoto pushed the door open and walked inside.

There he found himself surrounded by the smells of herbs and medicines.

'I'm in some kind of hospital or clinic'

Walking with smaller steps, Yamamoto continued until he was face to face with a kindly looking elderly lady.

The old lady blinked, taking in the sight of a small, innocent boy who had just wandered into her clinic.

"Hello there" the lady said, "What's your name young one?"

Yamamoto smiled at the kindness the lady was showing him and said, "Yamamoto Takehi! What's your name obaasan?"

Quite surprised by the happiness the boy radiated in such a barren place, the old lady replied, "Chiryo-shi."

"Nice to meet you Chiryo-shi" Yamamoto said smiling again.

"What are you doing here child" Chiryo-shi said.

Yamamoto looked confused for a sec, saying, "I don't know. One moment I felt and rain and blackness overwhelming me, the next I'm on this barren filed with the sun beating down."

'Ah' Chiryo-shi thought, 'He does not know that he is dead.'

"I do not wish to be the bearer of bad news, child. But you are dead and your spirit arrived in the 80th district of Rukongai in Soul Society or the after life."

Yamamoto's positive attitude faltered a bit, "So you're saying that I died and this is the afterlife?"

Nodding her head, Yamamoto looked devastated for a few minutes, but then his expression became sheepish when his stomach suddenly growled for attention.

"You wouldn't happen to have any food would you obaasan?" he asked.

Chiryo-shi looked surprised at the fact that he was hungry after being here for only an hour or two.

'He'll have the chance to become a shinigami and leave this place' she thought.

"Of course" Chiryo-shi said, "Come with me."

Just as the two were about to walk into the kitchen, the door burst open and a man ran in.

"Chiryo-shi! There is an emergency down by the forest! A hollow appeared and managed to wound Naoki and Sana before we could chase it away. Hurry! They are in grave condition," the man shouted before running off again.

Turning to Yamamoto, Chiryo-shi shouted, "Child, get me bag that is sitting next to the door and follow me."

Following her instructions, the pair ran out of the house and toward the forest.

Upon reaching the forest, Chiryo-shi immediately demanded that Yammoto handed her the bag.

Complying with her instruction, Yamamoto handed the heavy bag over and watched as Chiryo-shi began to pull bottles and bandages out before inspecting the wounds of the two injuried.

Both of the two, Naoki and Sana, were injured but Sana had more dangerous wounds than Naoki.

Acting quickly, Chiryo-shi put medicine and bandages on Naoki's wounds, making sure that the injuries were almost fully healed.

Then turning to Sana, the old lady tried to stop the bleeding but was unsuccessful.

After attempting to staunch the wound for 10 minutes, Chiryo-shi stepped back and said, "There is nothing left I can but pray that she can heal be herself."

The villagers that surrounded them began to shake their heads slowly, already beginning to mourn for a life that was slowly slipping away.

Yamamoto was astonished at how easily the villagers gave up.

'There must be something we can do' he thought.

Suddenly he heard a voice, 'There is something that you can do Yamamoto Takeshi. Follow my instructions and you can save that girl's life.'

Determined, Yamamoto walked toward where the girl was and sat down beside her.

The villagers and Chiryo-shi watched bewildered as Yamamoto held his hands out, face down, and a soft golden glow began to emit from them.

Then everybody watched in awe as the wounds began to close and Sana's shallow breathing began to steady until finally, the wounds were completely closed and Sana just looked like she was sleeping.

"Child" Chiryo-shi asked, "how did you do that?"

Looking embarrassed, Yamamoto said, "I listened to the voice in my head and healed her."

The villagers, after getting over they're shock, started to bomboard Yamamoto with questions until finally, Chiryo-shi shouted, "SILENCE!"

Everyone became quiet as the elderly woman stood up and walked over to Yamamoto.

"Yamamoto Takeshi" Chiryo-shi began, "how would you like to start a new life with me as my apprentice in the art of healing?"

Taking a few moments to process this request, Yamamoto smiled and said, "I would very much like that obaasan."

And thus begins the new life of Yamamoto Takeshi in the land of the dead, or in other words, Soul Society…you are either screwed or lucky, have fun and I wish you good luck.

Me: Done!

Friend: Yeah you are.

Me: I'm gonna go die know.

Friend: You go do that.

Other Friend: eternalfire123 hopes to update soon and that you will R&R. Thank you.
