One with spirits

Ice cream

I sat in the BBQ restaurant with Choji and I happily ate with him. As we were eating a female waitress walked up and smiled at us.

"Here's an ice cream on the house for the cute couple." She said putting an Ice cream down and walking away.

A blush came to my face and I looked at Choji who was smiling like an idiot.

"I didn't know they made ice cream." I said.

I finally looked down at the ice cream and my eyes sparkled I haven't had ice cream in ages. Choji picked up a spoon of ice cream and held it in front of my face.

"Open wide." He said with I smile.

I looked at him like he was stupid and he kept smiling.

"Here comes the airplane." He said happily.

"I'm not a child." I said.

He looked at me with hope and I reluctantly opened my mouth and Choji put the ice cream in my mouth.

"Happy now?" I asked and he nodded.

I rolled my eyes at his silliness. I took a spoon and began eating ice with Choji. As I was about to eat more ice cream I froze as the surroundings changed.

Pain went through my body as I noticed I was drowning. I desperately tried to swim up but I kept sinking. The water around me turned red. I felt my lungs stinging for breath. I looked to the side to see my hair was red. And I looked to my flailing hands to see it was a different skin tone to mine. I pushed those thoughts away and continued to try and get out of this seemingly endless water.

There was no air in my lungs and I took an unwanted breath inhaling water. I felt the pain began to fade as I felt the life drain. So this is what death felt like.

My surroundings went back to normal and I took a sharp breath in and grabbed my chest. I felt a hand on my back and I turned to see Choji peering at me with worry filled eyes.

"Are you okay. You've gone pale?" Choji asked.

I continued to grasp my chest taking deep breaths and gave a small nod trying to get myself under control. I was out of it but I felt Choji lead me up and out of the BBQ restaurant. I let him lead me as I tried to get my bearings back.

"Rico what the fuck was that?" I asked obviously shaken up.

"You were experiencing someone's death like you were them." Rico said and I could hear the worry in his voice.

"Who was it?" I asked but Rico but he didn't answer. "RICO! Who the fuck was it?" I said with slight desperation in my voice.

"That was the person who was know as one with spirits. That's how he was murdered." Rico said sadly.

I accepted this not having the energy to ask anymore. After awhile of walking I saw my home and Choji walked me in. He lead me in and Ichiro was the only one home and he was shocked when Choji walked me in. I was led to the coach and sat down. Choji went to walk away but I grabbed his arm and he sat next to me. I curled up to Choji wanting to be close to him because I felt the safest around him. Choji wrapped his arms around me and held me closer to him. I closed my eyes and slept completely exhausted from that stupid vision I had.
