Star-Crossed Immortals [TAKAMORI]

LIFE 1; UNDERWORLD

"Oof! Ungh....."

Kiara stared up as a figure towered over her. The figure swung at her with a scythe, Kiara dodging.

"HEY!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, IDIOT?" she barked.

"Isn't it obvious. You came down here because you need to die."

The figure swung again. Kiara jumped above the mighty blow, panting as she fell back down.

"No I don't!!!"

"Then why are you here?"

The figure revealed itself. A tall girl with sakura-pink hair and a deadly gaze was upon Kiara. She held out the scythe at her, the tip right up close to the tip of her nose.

"W-w-well, u-um.. I.."

"YOU!?"

"I um.. fell down here."

The girl smacked her face.

"Are you DAFT? Nobody just FALLS down here. Quit your lies, phoenix. I know how cunning your kind is."

Kiara started to sweat.

"I'M NOT LYING!! I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS OR WHAT *YOU* ARE!!"

"You mean.. this is um,  your FIRST EVER LIFE?"

Kiara gulped and nodded.

"Oh my GOD. You REALLY are that daft huh."

"I.. uhm.... guess I am." 

"Well.. this is gonna be difficult. I'm not allowed to reap you if you're not intended to die. You're just gonna be stuck here until I get some sort of note that y'gotta die."

The girl sighed. It's just gonna be her and this dumb phoenix for a few hours, or days, or years.
