Death and Birth

Hana's life flashed right in front of her eyes as her mind processed what happened to her. She was hit by a car that was definitely going way past the speed limit of 60 km/h. The force of being hit on her stomach by the car had sent her flying for a few seconds before her head hit the concrete, blood oozing out of it.

'I'm gonna die,' the fourteen- year- old thought as her vision got blurrier by the second, 'Man, I'd always wanted to die peacefully. No pain... just die of natural causes after living a long healthy life. Well, that wasn't going to happen apparently.'

And then, Hana Lashi died.

She floated around her death scene, hearing the faint sounds of sirens in the distance. 'Maybe I'll get to haunt my old bullies,' Hana thought, 'Wouldn't that be fun?'

"Or you could get a second chance."

"Huh? Who's that," Hana asked, turning around.

"Don't bother looking, you won't find me. I'm speaking in your mind, sort of like Harry Potter's Sorting Hat except I don't need to be anywhere close to you. To answer your question, I'm Kamatayan, one of the people in charge of the dead. We have decided to give you a second chance at life if you want to take it. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, literally. We don't give this chance to just anyone so choose wisely. Also, if you say yes, you can choose whether you want to keep your memories or not."

"Another chance at life? Sure I'll take it, who wouldn't? I don't exactly want to spend the rest of my days haunting people. And I want my memories, the idea of losing them is..... creepy."

"All right, I'm going to give you a bit of information on your next life and then I'll go. I'm not allowed to stick around for any questions, sadly. You are going to be the second-born child to the head of a very prestigious clan. The village you'll live in is pretty famous and is full of ninja. Your name is going to be Hanara Hyuga. That's all I can tell you. Goodbye."

Clan? Ninja? Hyuga? Hana's mind was swarming with questions. That all sounded like it came out of some type of anime show that Sharon, Hana's bestie, watched. Before Hana could try and ask one of them though, she started feeling a weird sensation.

After a few minutes of feeling sucked into a tube, Hana opened her eyes to see a bright light. She heard the cries of a baby and she felt like she was being held. She couldn't have been reincarnated already, could she? It was only a few minutes after she agreed, don't spirits get a day of rest before being reborn?

"This darling will be named Hinata, Hinata Hyuga," a soft voice from the other side of the room said, "And that little girl will be named Hanara Hyuga."

Hinata... hmm, that name rung a bell. Oh no! It's not Hinata Hyuga from Naruto is it? Not that show that Sharon was always trying to get Hana to watch? Hana looked up into the eyes of the person holding her and let out a wail of despair. They were whitish lavender and pupil-less. She really was born into an anime.

Oh shit.
