1 Chapter one: Death is only the beginning

[Inside a plane, heading towards Japan's Narita International airport, located in Chiba nearby Tokyo.]

[3rd pov]

Inside the flight, there was a beautiful girl, that seemed to be 16 to 18 years old she had a long straight black hair, dark blue eyes, a slim figure and a pale skin. She was taking the seat near the window, with her black small backpack on her lap, and she had headphones on her ears, not paying any attention to her surroundings. She was wearing a white oversized hoodie and a blue Jean short, with converse.

She had all the attention on her, but she did not care. Because she was used to it. People always deemed her as 'Ms.Perfect'.  She did not want to disgrace her family, so she worked harder than anyone else, leading her to always getting the best academic scores. Of course, no one cared about how much she struggled to be get there, they only cared for results, except her family. Her beauty was unmatched by any girl she stumbled upon. But she wasn't happy living like that at all. It's true she had many admirers, but she had no real friend. She didn't have anyone to tell her secrets to, to have fun with, to be herself with; apart from her family, which consists of her father, mother and Big brother. People only approached her because of her 'perfection'. Only her family knows, that she is... An otaku. Her name scarlet. Hitsugaya scarlet.

[Scarlet's pov]

I had my headphones on, listening to some anime openings. I was traveling alone so I didn't bother to pay attention to my surroundings since I don't have to speak with anyone, unless it's an important case or something heh.

People have always told me that I'm lucky and it's a blessing that I'm perfect in everything. But did they even think about how much hardships I went through to get here? How much I wet my pillow with my tears? How much I was struggling? To me, this is not a blessing. It's a curse. I just wanted my parents to be proud of me. My brother to praise me. I never wanted this much attention. I'm an otaku and my favorite anime is hunterxhunter but I  don't have any  close friend to talk about it with. 'not that it matters tho.. I can be an otaku on my own! I'm Finally going to Japan  to meet with my favorite authors, voice actors, artists and so on! I'm on a vocation so I can fan girl all I want! My dream to going to Japan is finally coming true! Well, I was originally from there but we moved to America when I was 8.'

A sudden boom sound that was loud enough to be heard even through my headphones startled me as I took them off and looked around. I saw that the mother who was sitting next to me was trying to calm down her crying baby as she, herself was on the verge of crying. I stood up from my place and a saw an elderly woman in front of me, praying. Some of the other passengers were freaking out and some were shouting, angry at the staff for being 'irresponsible' and the last, trying to calm them down.

'am I going to... Die?'. I shook my head at that thought and sat back down on my seat. I took out my phone and went into my gallery then stared into a family photo. Tears begun to run down my cheeks as I sobbed. 'I'm scared.. '. I closed my eyes, as another boom sound was heard, louder than the last one. I sighed and smiled weakly through my tears. 'I'm sorry mom, dad, onii-chan. I guess I'll have to break my promise of going back to America.. I love you guys..' these were my last thoughts, before I found myself in a dark wide place. Everything is black. There's no sign of life here.

'I guess I died huh..?'
