The touch of an angel

New discoveries about Kujo Sakura

Akihito saw that he was in front of the temple he used to go with his friends when he was a child. He was confused and asked himself:

-Where am I? What am I doing here?

A soft female voice answered:

-Have no fear, Takaba Akihito. You need to be brave.

The boy turned around and saw a beautiful woman who seemed to be in her twenties. She was in red and had a smiling face. Looking at her, Akihito felt a strange relief.

-Who are you? Asked the confused boy.

-I can see that you don't remember me, but it's ok. I will Always remember when you arrived here. You were so confused. I explained you that you had died of a brain tumor and that you were at the intermediate world.

Akihito widened his eyes and guessed that the woman was Kujo Sakura.

-You are Kujo Sakura, aren't you? Asami is trying to discover about you.

-I died a long time ago. I used to be a priestess until the day I got sick and died. I didn't get angry because my sickness was long and painful and I knew I was going to die. When I died and saw that I was at the intermediate world I got so confused as you are now. But I didn't feel anger.

Akihito asked the woman:

-Am I going to die?

-Akihito-chan, I came here to warn you. The dead want you back. You are going to face a difficult surgery and, during the procedure, the dead will approach you and try to get you. Please, don't let them get you. Be Strong. Concentrate in your desire of getting better and survive.

The boy got more confused. Why would the dead want him back if he had returned from death? He faced the woman, who seemed to be very serious and worried. She looked at him and said:

-Akihito-chan, it was a luck that Asami found you. He can provide you the treatment you need because your tumor is rare and requires an expensive surgery. Please, be Strong and don't surrender to your fear. The dead will call you to join them again. Don't let them seduce you. You returned from death and you must fight for your life.

-What must I do?

The woman answered with a sweet voice:

-Have no fear and concentrate in your wish of living. You must think that you want to live. You walked among the dead during a certain time and the dead didn't accept when you were ressurrected. You need to be Strong. Asami will provide the medical treatment but you'll have to be Strong.

Akihito wanted to ask the woman what he had to do but didn't find the words and told her:

-In fact, I am very scared, Kujo-san. I have Always been reckless, but knowing that I have a serious illness has made me feel aware of my own mortality. It reminded me when my own mother got sick with leukemia.

-When you died and went to the spiritual world you were very confused and scared and I felt bad for you because you had Always been energetic and full of life. Now, you have to be courageous. Akihito-chan, you weren't supposed to be ressurrected and that is why the dead want you back. The death of Asami was a mistake but yours not.So, you need to pay attention. Don't listen to the dead when they call you to join them. Now, I need to go back.

Akihito, feeling more scared, asked her:

-Will the surgery be succesful? Everything will depend on the neurosurgeon. Asami wants the best neurosurgeon to treat me.

-It will also depend on you. Now, concentrate, Akihito-chan. Close your eyes and prepare yourself to go back. Have no fear and remember what I told you, Takaba Akihito. I came here to warn you because I really like you. I have never married or had children when I was alive and you are like my own son.
