"Do you know that I wished it was " SiChen said? His voice was straightforward and his eye deep.
"I wish it was your time already so I can quickly take you to the afterlife...And the be free from you. That would be a blessing in disguise do you know?" He questioned.
After he was done uttering such harsh words, he turned to leave.
"Then why did you save me?" YiMing asked and then he stopped, his back against her.
The question had automatically stopped him. It had hit him now that he needed to Think of a reason why he did what he did.
Why? He could have left her ...He had already done that! Then death would have taken her. why then did he save her?!
"Mistake" He finally said to her. "It was a costly mistake that I'm going to regret all my life," He said.
Then he knew...That it wasn't his intention to do what he did.
At the moment he was leaving. He had recalled the endless thought that ran through his head.
That thought told him what Reaper Mo said. And mostly what he was told about taking care of YiMing and being her guardian angel or whatever.
He didn't Think letting her die was what a guardian angel would do. So without thinking twice or thinking straight, he went into the scene to save her.
"Don't act like I too want to spend my life with you. I too wished to die. So it was my greatest loss that you came to Save me...you should have let me die. Then we'd both be free..and I don't have to see your ugly attitude" She said.
Looking at her simply frustrated him. He sighed almost rolling his eyes.
"You, How ungrateful You are, what an ugly attitude... How can even an Immortal put up with someone as stupid as you? Others run from death but you go out with Death and Fall into his trap"
She looked at him, confused "What? What do you mean?"
"Like you Don't know... Well, I'll tell you...Him... That guy you went out with is not human, he's Death himself. And .... He had already set Your death...had I not been there...." He gasped, not Ready to speak any further" Forget it, You're just too stupid to comprehend"
YiMing on the other hand was in her world now. With What SiChen Said now, she had memories flow in.
She recalled Taking his book and seeing the inscription of death...and then again, she had seen him at the bus station...He could see ghosts.
She could easily tell he wasn't human. But then again, she didn't know what exactly he was.
Now YiMing slowly understood some instances.." You mean ...He..."
"Talking to you is a waste of my time, Since you wish to die so much, then you can go and meet him, He'll write down your end for you".
YiMing now Could see that he was dead...One who brought death..No wonder he was there when that guy died..and he was writing something.
YiMing had always found him with his book odd. Now she understood what it partly was.
And looking at her case, YiMing wondered if he was behind what almost happened. She wondered if he had wanted to kill her as well.
"See.." He continued" It's our curse to be trapped together...and we can do nothing about it. So within this time... don't do anything stupid or make more Trouble for me...Just keep calm until it all ends" He said
"And how long does it take ?" She asked looking up at him "When will it all end?" She asked.
For Once, she wanted to know when she'll be free from him. And what it'd be like.
He hesitated "Three yearsrs", H,e said" approximately"
"Three years...Then we can go Our ways... That's too far..." She sighed "Then...what will happen to me?" She asked.
She had a feeling that it wouldn't simply end Like that. She felt something could be off.
"Then...You can have the death you desire" He said "Within these years...You shouldn't die, When the time elapses...Then you'll have to die naturally" He said.
YiMing bit her Lower lips as she lowered her head. "Is it a punishment....is my death in the future my final punishment?" She asked.
SiChen guessed he had to do a brief explanation "No... That's when you were destined to die...But you killed yourself earlier...And I was the scapegoat who was Ignorant enough to make the mistake of taking you"
"And since it was my mistake. it's my punishment to be with you until your natural death comes, so don't make things hard for me"
She was mute as she thought through what he said. Three years and she would be gone from this world... Finally. She'd leave this colorless life she had.
"You should leave, I have more important things to do," He said as he turned to leave.
"While we're at it then.." She said "You should do something for me"
He had stopped as he turned to look in her direction "And what Is it this time?" He asked.
"I haven't asked anything from you... This time you have agreed...I want you...to help me with a ghost problem"
