The touch of an angel

Kujo Sakura talks to Akihito

Akihito opened his eyes and saw that was in a beautiful garden, laying under a cherry tree. The boy stood and touched a cherry blossom, feeling enchanted.

-Am I dreaming or having an out-of-body experience? Am I going to meet Kujo Sakura?

He admired the blue sky and the flowers, that were really beautiful. He had never seen such a beautiful garden before. The grass was really green and there were foxes and another wild animals walking there.

-This is really a beautiful place. But what am I doing here?

-Do you really want to know what you are doing here, Akihito?

Akihito turned around and saw Kujo Sakura, who seemed very beautiful. The woman was really radiant. She approached Akihito and asked him:

-How are you doing, Akihito? She smiled.

The boy answered:

-I am doing fine, Kujo-san. In fact, the doctors are impressed with my recovery.

The woman suggested:

-Let's walk a little, my boy. I suppose you are tired of staying on bed on day, aren't you?

-Yes, Kujo-san, I am. It is horrible to spend my days on bed, but I must remember I had a tumor. It isn't an easy surgery and I could be dead now. I am glad that I am alive and that I am with Asami.

Kujo Sakura laughed and said that she could never imagine that Akihito and Asami could be soulmates.

-The world is really strange, Takaba Akihito. Well, I couldn't imagine that someone like Asami could have feelings. But I am glad that he found you and could save your life. Isn't it incredible?

-Yes, it is Kujo-san. In fact, everything is incredible. It is incredible that Asami and I died and returned to life. I still can't believe in it. In fact, I have never been interested about what can be in the otherside.

The woman just smiled and Akihito asked himself what she was thinking. What had she felt when she had seen herself in the spiritual world? He was going to ask her but she said before:

-When I died and saw myself here, I didn't think that it was strange, Akihito. I have always thought that death is just a part of life.

The boy sat down and thought for a little time, speaking to himself:

-Well, Kujo-san, I think it is awesome that Asami and I are soulmates and that we have met one another in another lifes. This is such a mystery.

Kujo Sakura explained Akihito that everything was connected.

-We all were souls before having a body, Akihito. Remember this. I know there are too many things you don't understand now but you'll understand someday. And you need to have courage, don't be scared. Remember you must be strong. You are now facing a challenge.

-I am worried, Kujo-san. Asami is going to face a dangerous man. Do you know Yuri Arbatov?

-Yes, he is Asami's enemy. Asami has many enemies. Don't worry. Asami know how to deal with this kind of people.

Akihito thought for some minutes. Asami had to deal with too many people that wanted to kill him. How could he bear that fact? Dealing with enemies was such a hard thing to deal with. He would never be able to bear living with fact that people wanted to kill him.

-What are you thinking about, sweetheart? Asked Kujo Sakura.

-Asami has many enemies. When he died the first time it was an enemy who killed him, wasn't it?

Kujo Sakura just smiled and explained:

-Yes, he was shot by an enemy. His enemy who shot him is a yakuza who is always trying to ruin his business. When Asami died the first time this enemy had prepared a trap. But Asami's death was a mistake. It wasn't Asami's time of dying. Your death, on the contrary, wasn't a mistake.
