Chapter 4 - Life in Death...

Part 0: Beginning of the End...

Arc 1: The New Reapers.

(Right where we left off)

(Everyone is in the classroom and Isabel sits down)

Suzuki Yamada: (Standing at the front of the class) Right, now that everyone is here, I can begin answering a few questions. First of all you may be wondering: "How long are we going to stay here!?" To put it simply; you are going to be here until everyone is ready! Be that a year, 2 years, 3 years or even 4! The second you all are ready to fight monsters, we'll set you on your way. Second: "How long are these classes going to be" 5-6 hours on weekdays. 2 hours on Saturdays and on Sundays you are all off. Finally: "And what exactly are we going to learn, that we didn't already learn in School?" Have faith in me you'll learn lots of new things as well as a few new skills. There is a small town, just down the road through the forest you will find several goods and services there such as; a restaurant, a shopping center, a beach (There won't be a beach chapter) and many more services. But if you want to go you are going to have ask one of the senior staff here for permission, me included.

Louis: (Raises his hand) And what "new skills" are we going to learn.

Suzuki: If I had to tell you now we'll be here the whole day, but in a nutshell; You'll learn more about the past of this place, the history of the Reapers as well as learning to speak Latin.

Sam: I know how to speak Latin.

Peter: (Thinking) German, English, Japanese, Latin... (Talking) Just how many langues do know!!!

Sam: Japanese, English, German, Latin, Spanish and, French. I read a lot of books... In my 7 years of free time.

Fredric Young: How do you even keep up with all them?

Sam: It's not too hard.

Suzuki: Listen! Let me continue my lesson, please.

Sam/Peter/Louis/Fredric: Yes sir.

Suzuki: Thank you. Now one question that might possibly be racing in your mind is "What were those 3 doors for when we died?" Well to put it simple. The White door leads to Heaven, The Black door to well Hell, And the grey one you walked through is the one for becoming a Reaper.

Kelly: But sir, I noticed a trapdoor, due to the irregularity in the floor patterns.

Suzuki: Fine, that is a door leading to the fantasy kingdom of Gōruden. Where all sorts of fantastical creatures and monsters live and I mean everything.

Fredric: So you're telling me I could've had my grand Isekai adventure, where I'm overpowered and I have elf, catgirl, shy wizard girl and yandere as my personal Harem!!!??? But I went through that damn Grey door!!!?

(Everyone looks at him confused and Suzuki is just shaking his head while covering his eyes)

Suzuki: (While still shaking his head) I am not going to try and understand what you just said...

Peter: I'm going to need some bleach in the ears now... that or a gun to shoot myself.

Fredric: I'm not gonna lie that sounded waaayyy better in my head. I've made some mistakes can we move ahead?

Sam: And Claire thought I had a weird fantasy... Can someone neuralyze me, shoot me, bring me back from the dead and neuralyze me again?

Isabel: Mr. can we please move on?

Suzuki: Gladly.

(6 hours later)

(Outside in a small lunch area with a few round tables)

(Sam and Isabel are discussing)

Isabel: What!!??

Sam: Trust me I had the same reaction.

Isabel: (Looks at her hands panicking) Does that mean I'll become a floating Skeleton in a robe!!?

Louis: (Walks behind her) Yeah, your face is starting to peel and revealing a skeleton.

Isabel: (Holds onto her face while screaming) No please no.

Sam: Haha, ignore him. You aren't turning into a skeleton. I just have one question, Why are you here after I saved you, I'm not angry just curios.

Isabel: Well it happened just a few moments ago for me.

(Outside the hospital on the same morning Sam saved her)

Doctor: (Talking with Isabel outside the hospital) Ma'am thank you for accompanying him to the hospital; But I'm going to have to ask you to move on, we'll take it from here, If he by some miracle survives we'll inform you.

Isabel: T...thank you... (Walks away from the hospital) Sir, whatever your name may be, thank you for saving me. I wish I could repay it somehow.

(As she continues walking, she sees a woman getting robbed in a ally)

The Mugger: (Grabs the woman and puts a gun to her neck) Lady I don't want kill anyone, just hand over the bag.

Isabel: Hmm? Hey, let go of her!

The Mugger: Give me a break... (Points his gun at Isabel) Listen, get out of here... I need the cash.

Isabel: (Slowly approaching) I understand.

The Mugger: Do you!? With your fancy winter sweater and jewelry!?

Isabel: I really do...

(Isabel reaches out for the gun and The Muggers instincts kick accidentally shooting Isabel in the heart)

The Mugger: No, no, no, no...

(The Mugger runs away panicking with his every breath)

Isabel: (Thinking) So this is it huh? A cold empty winter ally... well sir whoever you were I guess we'll meet properly now... (Something briefly flashes in front of Isabel's eyes) What...

(It all flashes before her fading eyes as the Sun starts to rise and the moon appears broken before her)

(A mysterious voice whispers to Isabel: Thus fate is sealed forever, for everyone)

(A second voice, much deeper than the first: What about her?)

(The first voice: She'll have her use)

(Isabel is in the Same room as Sam was when he died)

Claire: (Sitting in the chair) Hi, my name's Claire...

(Present)

(Isabel Didn't mention the visions because she didn't understand them, for a bit of clearance)

Isabel: And that's about it. I'm really sorry that I died right after you saved me...

Sam: Don't be bothered by it. I'm happy my sacrifice wasn't completely in vain...

(Able walks over to Sam and Isabel)

Able: Sam! There you are I've been looking everywhere.

Sam: Oh hey Able!

Isabel: Able?

Able: (Walks over and sees Isabel) Wait don't I know you from school?

Isabel: Yeah, how could I forgot a guy with a name like that.

Able: First Sam, now you. Who's going to be the next Reaper here?

Sam: My question exactly. What did you want?

Able: Just wanted to come check up on you, heard you saw something again.

Sam: Yeah... same guy as before. Red cloak, couldn't see his expression.

Able: Sam honestly, you're starting to worry me with these "hallucinations".

Sam: I'll be fine Able honestly. It's probably just my mind messing with me.

Able: Your mind isn't suppose to mess with you. (Turns to Isabel) What about you, you fine?

Isabel: Yeah I'm perfect. Just a headache here and there.

Anderson: (Shouting from the distance) Hey! You all can relax after your chores!! Except for you Ms. Adachi do something else, tomorrow you begin with chores!

Sam and Able: Yes sir!!

(Sam and Able walk off in different directions for their Tasks and Chores)

(With Sam out of sight Able stops suddenly)

Able: Isabel?

Isabel: Hmm? Yeah.

Able: This may seem like a strange request, but do me a favor.

Isabel: What is it?

Able Please take care and love Sam even through his dark hours. If something, anything happens to him take care of Him. Please can you promise me that? No matter how far he may fall off that cliff, help him up, for me and him?

Isabel: S...sure; but why?

Able: I can see he loves you, haha even if you just met... This really is turning into a Shōjo manga.

(In the laundry room)

Kane: (Sitting on a bench) Why are you clinging to me this badly?

Valentina Taylor: (Lying on Kane's right shoulder) Well since you were so nice to me last night... I thought you would be again.

Kane: All I did was give you a mint.

Valentina: Yes and I love you for it, can you give me more?

Kane: Please don't say that.

Sam: (Walks past carrying a clothing basket) Got you a lover already eh?

Kane: Oh I'll kill you!!

Sam: (Walking to a dryer) Try to hotshot.

Kane: Come at me then!!

Sam: I'm just messing with you relax, that's what rivals do right?

Kane: (Suddenly stands up) Yes, that's the word from now on we are rivals!!!

Sam: (Puts clothes in a dryer) Didn't even know the word for it haha.

Kane: Oh that crosses the line!

Valentina: (Drags down Kane while being half asleep) Oh, sweetie leave him alone give me more sweets…

(Valentina falls asleep)

Kane: Ahh! You win this one! But mark my words from now on we'll be bitter Rivals till the end!

Sam: (Walks out of the room) Bet.

(At the end of the day before diner time in the eating hall)

Maybe this isn't as bad as I first thought... what a strange 2 days these have been)

Louis: (Looks through the door) Sam diner time, you better get to the eating hall or else it's mine!
