Chapter 14: Encounter

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"What. The. Fuck." Ken looks at his hands, it was transparent. He looks around his body, it was all transparent. His mind starts to race, his heart beating fast, not knowing what to do nor what happened. He died right? What was he doing here? Here where he died?

Ken looks around and see many people, all of them walking peacefully. He tried to talk to them but no one seems to see and hear him. One person even went through him making him uncomfortable.

In disbelief, his knees fell to the ground. His breathing uneven as his hand clenched his chest. His obsidian eyes unfocused, can't pay attention to anything. He just can't believe his here, no one knew he is still existing.

"Shit." Ken's voice begun to tremble as he cover his face to cry. He doesn't know what to do. "Please. Someone, help me." he prayed desperately.

After an hour of crying, finally, Ken calmed down. "Mind. Think! Think!" he begs his head to think of something. Suddenly, a light bulb went on in his head. "That's right!" he doesn't really believe in the supernatural, but seeing that his literally a ghost, he had to find one of 'them'.

People who have a third eye.

Knowing he doesn't have a chance in this place. He decided to seek help by himself. No one is going to help him if he stayed there. So, he stood up and begun to walk and walk and walk. Finding people who might see him. Days and days passed by, but he couldn't find a single living person. Except for the animals, it gave him sense of relief that he can still communicate with them. It doesn't help that he felt lonely though, he doesn't like being lonely that much.

As his feets walk around more, his mind wonders at someone.

"Mikey, How are you?"

Ken unconsciously stopped, his eyes scans around where he is now. His outside a hospital—

"DRAKEN!" a voice of a male was heard behind. His eyes widen as he recognized the voice. He turns around and see—

A Few Weeks Ago:

"TAKEMICHI! TAKEMICHI!" Shinichiro calls out, his expression wrecked.

Takemichi was doing his homework when Shinichiro suddenly called him, crying his eyes out. He got worried "What is it Shin-nii? What's wrong?" he asked in worry, his brow furrowed.

"Please, Takemichi! Help me." Shinichiro said,his voice trembling. He kneels in front of Takemichi, his face pressed on Takemichi's chest, hugging him. "My..... My brother's friend he—" he stopped mid way as he bit his bottom lip to stop himself from tearing up. "—he died and...... I don't know where he is."

Takemichi's lips pouted as his heart break in sympathy. "Of course, can you tell me when he died?" he asked as he caresses his ghost brother's hair.

"Just now, I really need to see him." Shinichiro said as he hugged Takemichi tighter.

Takemichi bit the side of his bottom lip. Looking down at Shinichiro, he starts to find qords to explain it to him. "Shini-nii, I have something to tell you." Shinichiro looks up to him, his eyes reddish in crying. He inhales and exhales, ready to tell him that—

"When a person dies, it takes weeks or months till they become a spirit." he said.

Shinichiro's eyes widen in shock. 'Oh no!' he thought, seems like he needs to think another methods to comfort his brother. Ken was his everything after he died, now he's gone. He hugged Takemichi again, seems like he needs to wait. "Hey Takemichi, When do you think they'll become one?"
