Beauty of Dawn

going back

I flinched as my God put an arm around me and guided both myself and Kakashi to sit down.

"What an unexpected visit you Hatake's sure do like to pop in unannounced" death has a lopsided smile

Zaraph scoffs " and uninvited"

Death stands and with a twirl of his hand is dressed in fancy robes with a top hat "I am death or as many know me as Jashin"

Kakashi looks at me in disbelief

Zaraph stands and with a cocky grin says "I am Zaraph and that's all you need to know at the moment"

Death crosses his arms and leans back

"What a predicament we seem to be in, you" he points to Kakashi

"Are not dead and should not be here and you" he twists a piece of my hair around his finger before pulling it "my dear las on all accounts should be dead and off to your next life"

My eyes widen, sure the vibes since I've gotten here have been a little tense and I knew they were hiding something from me but I never really thought about well this.

Death waves his hand around nonchalant "your still alive do not fret"

Kakashi understandable looks unsettled and lean closer "I want to know everything"

The two gods glance at each other before Zaraph sighs

"Life as you know it is a lie gasp shocker right Akemi". He squeezed my face between his two fingers " is under my ward supposedly but those two" he point to both Death and I

"Have some type of odd bonding"

Death pipes up " it's called worship I am her God as she is my priestess"

Zaraph rolled his eyes "right this is Akemi's second life the first was a shit show but you wouldn't remember that"

My head snaps up "what do you mean he wouldn't remember that

Death hisses a slew of curses at Zaraph

Kakashi sits in shock with an unusual face

" Perhaps you two knew each other in a past life," Zaraph mumbles looking away from us

"What that idiot means is you Akemi know everyone in this life just as you have in your last life just as you will in your next life"

I look from Kakashi to my God " so me and Kakashi "

Death hums " your lives are all intertwined forever, in this life you may Marry the Hatake but in the next life he may be just your best friend or a passing face who you just for some reason can't seem to forget"

Both Kakashi and I look at each other in awe.

"So those times I looked at you and I didn't really see you but a different girl that was...?"
Death nodded " those feeling you've felt before started off with your two souls recognizing each other"

"My last life I.... Don't remember much now about it"

Zaraph unfolded his arms and sighed "some things are better forgotten"

I lean into Kakashi " how ominous"

Kakashi snorts and I feel him start to loosen up a bit. Good

"What now?" Kakashi asked suddenly

"Now it's ul to the two of you since your both on the edge of death you can choose" Death stands with his arms spread out

"Die and be reborn now or wait in this coma-like state to see if you die or wake up on your own"

"Akemi" I turn to Kakashi and he looks a lot more peaceful than a dead man should.

"Yes, my love?"

"You choose I will follow whatever you decide"

My heart clenches at those words

"After all you are still acting Captain" he smiles at me and leans forward till our foreheads are almost touching "ne~ Akemi-chan"

Everyone is looking to me it's unreal all of this just feels like a dream-like I'm here but not really.

"I-" my voice breaks

"We- we will find each other in any life right Kashi" he leans back a little " Maa you would never stop pestering me no matter what life where are in"

"Then-" I take a breath and both Death and Zaraph have their hand up ready to snap-

The room starts to shake and a high-pitched screaming is heard me and Kakashi stand back to back surveying the room for the threat.

Death and Zaraph immediately smack each other hands down and start to argue in a language I can't quite understand.

The high-pitched yelling stops as well as their arguing.

Death looks at me and sighs

"The decision has been made for you, you both are going back but will wake up at different times that one"

He gestures to Kakashi

"Is first and right now"

He snapped his fingers and Kakashi is gone, agien it's just me with my gods

"You know don't you"

I shrug "know what"

"He's not ready to know the truth not yet"

I slump over and hang my head I wish he could

"Fine" my lip juts out

"He won't remember any of this"

"Fine," I say louder

I know what he will do but it still makes me mad to hear it.

Zaraph puts his hand on my head "it's time

I nod and now to the both of them

The next thing I know im back in the darkness floating.

HELL YES I adore this chapter it's so dramatic also my new fanfic will be out and hopefully already posted by the time you read this, the quick prompt is 'what would have happened if that loud screech didn't interrupt Akemi, just how big of a fuck up could Death and Zaraph make in that split second'
It's called the lost
