Happy when Dead (Discontinued)

A New Life

Naruto was very confused as to where he was, one moment he was in an alley being strangled to death then the next he was overlooking a city that had various animal and skull-shaped buildings along with skull-shaped, colorful hot air balloons. Everything in the city is lit up with glowing yellow, orange and gold lights, and there are many festive colors everywhere. He looked up and saw that the sky was black filled with falling and floating flowers and flower petals.

All of a sudden he heard somebody say "welcome to the land of the remembered!"

Naruto looked over from where the voice came from and saw that it was a skeleton on a skeletal horse riding up to him. Naruto backed away in fear thinking it was a monster coming to harm him and in doing so tripped and fell on his back. Before anything else happened there was a burst of flowers and confetti in front of him and in the center of it was a figure dressed in red clothing that he had never seen before. The figure turned around and he noticed that it to was a skeleton but he felt more at ease looking at this one and slowly noticed it was a woman after he got his Bearings. He noticed right when she saw him there was a look of shock on her face.

The skeleton that was on the horse instantly became shocked at seeing the goddess that rules these lands teleport in front of him and bowed a bit on his horse showing her respect." La Muerte I did not expect you, do you need something?" the skeleton asked as politely and respectful as he could. Not getting an answer and seeing that she was looking at the the new member of the land of the remembered, he was wondering why she wasn't moving. He came up next to her to see the new member as he didn't actually get a clear view of him yet. What he saw made him speechless.

The new member was just a boy but that's wasn't the shocker, oh no the shocker was is that he looked human. He still had his skin!

"captain you can go now, I will guide this new member of our lands to my house" the goddess stated giving him a look that tells him to please keep quiet about this for now.

The captain looked to her and nodded his head "Si my lady" he then turned around and started heading for the city.

Naruto was now sitting up and started processing his surroundings now that he knew he had to figure out what was happening. For one he noticed they were all speaking a language he didn't know yet here he was understanding it. Then there was this beautiful woman in front of him, the longer he looked at her the more he felt himself calming down and feeling at peace, he was entranced by her eyes looking at him.

Naruto finally noticing that they were both just staring at each other felt a little awkward and went to say something "U-um you're very pretty" he said with an honest smile which made her give out a small giggle that made him feel light headed.

La Muerte getting over the initial shock over seeing him in human form in the land of the remembered walked up to him and offered her hand to help him up off the ground with a very warm (and if Naruto ever had the experience of having a mother) he would notice that it was a motherly smile, one you could only give your child when you are trying to make them feel comfortable when they were nervous or scared.

"Gracias, you're pretty cute you know" she said as she helped him up, noticing him blush at being called cute as it was the first time anybody has ever said that to him.

"Um who are you and where am I?" Naruto's nervousness fading with curiosity taking its place.

She kept her motherly smile and slightly tightened her grip on his hand to make sure it wouldn't come out of her grasp and said with a wink "somebody that has been watching over you your whole life and was very sad when it ended"
