Part I- death
After his fight, Otonashi sat back on his seat. He was angered by the stupidity that yusuke displayed. Otonashi never liked people that teased others. In his mind, there was no reason to do something that horrible, to make others suffer for one’s amusement. Otonashi despised fools like Yusuke and others who bullied people. In his past, he had gotten into many fights defending others, and it seemed he was almost always spending his weekends in detention at times.

Oto had only been sitting down for a few minutes when he saw Hawokuishibaru walk towards him. Tentatively, he asked, “do you mind if I sit down with you?”

Otonashi looked up from his seat into Hawokuishibaru’s deep blue eyes. Oto didn’t see any problem with it; actually, it might help me get these thoughts out of my head. “Sure, sit down.”

Oto scooted to the side of the seat by the window, allowing Hawokuishibaru to sit to his side. They sat there for a moment in silence. Hawo was the first to speak. “Is everything alright, Otonashi? You really don’t seem yourself today.”

“I’m fine, I guess. I just have this feeling, like something bad is gonna happen. I can’t really describe the feeling, but its just there.”

Hawokuishibaru opened his mouth, about to say something but then Satine walked up to them. “Umm… hello Otonashi-sama.” She paused momentarily. “I-Im sorry you got detention, my sincerest apologies...um...I brought your book back to you.”

Otonashi saw Satine’s face start to glow a slight reddish color. Oto didn’t know what to say, he was always kind of shy around people he didn’t know. “um… thanks.” Once Oto had control of his emotions he spoke again, more confidently. “Don’t worry about the detention. I’m almost always in there.” As he reached out for the book, the bus started to fill up with a fog. Odd, it usually doesn’t do that here, he though to himself.

Shortly after, the bus driver stopped. He announced that they were there. He could clearly tell that the bus driver was absolutely drunk. Great. He was drunk the entire time. Morons like that could get people killed.

“Umm… I’ll see you later, okay Otonashi-sama?” Satine quickly walked out of the bus. He followed out, not entirely rushing after her, but not just slowly walking. Kind of a happy medium between the two paces. As he got outside, He heard the a teacher call out his name. He grumbled and walked over to the teacher.

“What?” He asked the teacher, in kind of an impatient tone. The teacher looked at him, obviously angered by his disrespect towards him. “You’ll be in my group for the trip.”

“Whatever.” Otonashi started to feel a lot worse. He could almost sense that something was there. He was suddenly aware of a powerful evil aura somewhere, but he couldn’t tell exactly what it was or where it came from.

As the time past, more students came to join the group. He was never good with faces, and most of the people he didn’t recognize. But there were a few. He recognized Hasaki, Satine, and Hawokuishibaru were the only ones he recognized. Some of the people talked among each other, but he just stood there to himself.

The teacher led the students up the mountain. They were forced into single file lines. He walked with the group for a little bit, but he got bored fast. “I already know basically everything about this mountain,” he said to himself. “Whatever. Maybe if I get a bite to eat I’ll feel better.” When the teacher stopped talking and turned her back to lead the students, Oto slipped away. He headed over to a restraunt that he went to all the time with his family when they visited.

The building was in site when the earth started to shake violently. Suddenly, the dark aura he had sensed was overpowering. Oto was forced down onto his knees by the immense pressure of whatever it was that was causing the earth to tremble. He heard cries in the background. He stayed where he was. Fear had completely paralyzed his body. He watched people run past him. The earth continued to quake, as from behind, he was picked up. The monster stared at him. Oto stared in front, terror in his eyes, his body shaking almost as the ground was. What looked back at him was a masked beast. There are no words to describe how horrid the monster was.

“So you are able to sense my aura, are you?” The monster laughed maniacally. “But still you are nothing but a worthless piece of shit.” The hollow pulled up his other hand, showing huge black claws. They stabbed into his stomach. The pain that the hollow inflicted to him was so incredible, that Otonashi blacked out.

Part II- rebirth
Slowly, Otonashi began to regain consciousness. He felt different, somehow. Kind of lighter, less held back. He looked around at his surroundings. There was total chaos everywhere. There were people screaming, nobody seemed to know what was going on. He started to wander off, but then he heard something like a chain that followed him. He saw a chain protruding from his body, just above his chest. He saw the trail lead backwards, and followed it. Then he saw probably the second scariest thing he’d ever seen in his life so far. Him.

What he saw lying on the ground looked almost like him, but it was impossible to tell. He was not entirely there. There was a giant hole in his chest, and he was missing one of his legs, but its face was clearly his. Otonashi was confused. He thought back to what happened. He remembered the giant monster, and it bringing down its claws. It must’ve killed me. He thought. And not just me… everybody. The thought that the monster killed everyone was unbearable. He decided that he should find his friends. Maybe they know more about what’s going on.

Otonashi walked back to where the bus was. On his way there, he encountered a boy, about his age. He was dressed in what he thought were the weirdest clothes he’d ever seen. He had a black robe-like clothes on, and his hair was orange. Next to him was a black-haired girl. The boy walked up to him and wacked him in the head with a giant sword. “Hey, what the hell are you doing!” Otonashi at first was confused, but then as he started to be surrounded in a white light, he understood. The boy was helping him pass on.

The next thing that Oto remembered was waking up in a very run-down town. He got up and looked around. The surrounding houses were wooden, and the roads were dirt. It looked like a town for lower-class citizens. A man approached him. He had green eyes, blonde hair, and a playful smirk. The man stood about five seven. “You knew here?” he asked.

“Yeah” Oto responded. The man was friendly enough. Then, the sound of a high pitched whistle rang through the streets. The people in the streets moved out of the way, and two policemen came running down the streets.

The man put his hand on Oto’s shoulder. “Come with me.”

Oto and the man ran away from the police guards. Once they lost them, Oto was lead into a small hut. “Okay, what the hell is going on?” Oto sat on the floor, panting from the run.

“The name’s Isamu, just in case you were wondering.” Isamu went on to explain everything about soul society. “In all of the eighty districts, you my friend ended up in the rock bottom 80th. So see, in a town like this, you can live 3 ways. One, is that you open a shop and try to sell stuff without it getting stolen, which is almost impossible. Two, you become a thief yourself, which is almost possible. Or three, you sit around all day and die of hunger. So whaddaya say, wanna be a thief.”

So the next seven years, Otonashi and Isamu went around the lower districts stealing from others so that they themselves could live.

Part III- Shinigami High

Otonashi walked up the steps to his new school, where he would become a shinigami. As he walked up, all he could think about was Isamu. He would get enough money to heal his friend. As he walked entered the high school, he made a vow that he would try his best, no matter what. However much thieving made him hate authority, he must put up with it until he gets Isamu better.
