Katsuki's POV

"Unmh." I groaned. "What..." I said, and looked around. "Where am I?" I muttered. "Felt my head hit something - " I moved the muscles on my face. "Oww - !" I cried when my cheek hurt. "Damn..." I cursed. I stood up. "Where am I - " my eyes went wide. "Wait. 'Stood up'?!" I said. Hey, readers. Not 'that' stood up. It's my legs. I looked at my feet. "I'm... standing." I said. Hey! Not 'that' standing either. I looked at my hands. "This is..." I said, then felt my body. "Could this really be - " I said and touched my face. "Oww - !" I cried when my cheek hurt. "I remember now. I punched my face earlier when I - " I said. "Damn." I said. I looked around. "This alley is..." I said, then saw the entrance to the alley. My eyes narrowed. "Oh, heck yes. How could I forget - " I said and marched my way there. "That damn ... I'm going to make him pay - ugh!" I said when I bumped to something. "The heck... how could I bump into a wall - " I said and looked up. My eyes went wide when I saw who it is.

I saw he looked shocked, too. "Aren't you - ?" and pointed at me

I pointed at him. "Aren't you - ?" my eyes narrowed.

"Missing soul?!"

"Grim Reaper?!"

We both said. My eyes turned to slits. "How ironic." I said. "This is also how we first met." I said and stood up on my own. "Should I go 'kiyaa!' and 'oh, my!' and should be blushing?" I asked, sarcastically.

He still looked shock. "What..." he said, then shook his head. "Wait. Wait." He said. "You..." he pointed at me. "How'd you know I'm a Grim Reaper?" he asked.

"Huh?" I said. "So I shouldn't have?" I asked, sarcastically. He nodded. I scoffed. "Hah! How shouldn't I when I just had an untimely death?" I said.

His jaw dropped. "Wha..." he cleared his throat and regained his composure. "Huh! 'Untimely death'? how would you know it's 'untimely'?" he asked.

"Oh?" I said, imitating his tone. "And how would you know when should I die?" I asked back.

He was taken aback. "That's..." he said, rendered speechless. He cleared his throat. "Fine." He said. "Go with me." He said.

My eyes went wide. "What..." I looked at him, full of hatred. "You just admitted you're the reason of my untimely death, and now you're going to take my life again?!" I asked, my voice raised.

"What... that's not it!" he said, defensively.

"You're not fooling me!" I said.

"No! I'm not! I just need you to - "

I covered my ears. "Blah blah b;ah... can't hear you - " I said.

"How can you when you're covering your ears?"

"Oh?" I said. "Did you say something - !" my eyes went wide when he pushed me on the wall. "What - "

He put his hands on my both sides. "Damn it! listen to me first, will you?" he said, frustrated.

"Wha ... is this how you should ask a favor?" I said.

He sighed, but didn't let go of me. "Listen to me first. About your death, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ... I was... careless." He said, then lowered his head.

My eyes went wide. "What the heck! I died because of your carelessness?!" I screamed.

"That... that's not all. I also offered my hand to you out of impulse." he said. "That's... " he looked away. "Grim Reapers aren't supposed to touch humans. I did it... because I forgot that." He said.

My jaw dropped to the bottom of Mariana's trench. "I died because of your forgetfulness?!" I said, way beyond shock. "How... - " I can't find the right words to speak. I'm dumbfounded.
