As Meishu lay down within the cloud of white that surrounded him, it seemed as if everything around him, whether that be visual, or perhaps even audible or verbal, was deemed to a certain degree. Meishu had come to this assumption, because when the voice that had spoken out earlier called out, it certainly seemed quiet - more quiet than what you’d hear on Tera. That led Meishu to yet another thought. “What if he was not on Tera anymore?” he questioned himself in mind. Now, it all made sense, as Meishu felt his body getting lighter. Just as stated prior, this was the punishment upon the Jin, for trying to better their punishments via the Hikidama. For Daihoshi had sent down the rock - to kill him. Thus, that must mean that, now, Meishu was up in heaven - or, the spiritual world. This notion was soon proven right, but not now. As for now, vision suddenly cleared for Meishu. Above him, Lucette looked down. “Meishu? Meishu?” she asked, trying to make sure the boy was alive. “I’m alive…” Meishu answered to Lucette.

Lune, feeling somewhat tired, crawled over to the two. “Or - dead.” she told him. Meishu sat up. “That makes more sense.” he told Lune. “I believe we’re in the spiritual world now.” he then added, as he looked back and forth.

The group was now in a large forest full of trees, and lush grass. The plant life grew so high, that the sky appeared slightly dark, and to illuminate the area, there were lanterns placed nearby. Frankie got up, and ran to one of the lanterns. “Frankie!” called Ciel. Frankie jumped up. “Yeah?” she asked. “You’re in your normal outfit.” she told Frankie. Frankie looked down. Ciel was right! For some reason, she was now in the outfit that she had worn before going out - the little brown hat included. “Well, this is weird,” said Lucette “as, I’m not.”. Meishu turned to her. “You’re right.” he stated. “But that’s besides the point. We need to go find Kaminari - only then will we know that we’re in the spiritual world.”.

Stelline faced him. “I’m sure any other dead soul could prove that as well.” she told him. “Yeah - but Kami’s more important. Besides, didn’t you guys say something about recently dead souls going to a recent heaven?” Meishu responded. Stelline looked down in thought, and then up above her, at the towering trees. “That’s true. Souls that died just recently, are sent to recent heaven, where they are sorted into whether they go to true heaven, or not.”. Meishu stood. “Right then. We should go find Kaminari before she goes to True Heaven!” Meishu lead.

Everyone looked at him. “Can we at least set base first?” they asked. “Yeah, I’m starving!” another person cried out. Meishu groaned. “Didn’t we just have lunch!?” he asked the group. Everyone gave off unique expressions, “Hweh….” moaned some, before Meishu sighed. “Fine, we’ll eat first. But right after that, we’re searching for Kami!” he replied to them all. “Yay, let’s go!” shouted Kräuter as she stood up. “Right, so I’ll go find the food, and everyone else can build, eh?” she asked. Meishu shook his head with his arms crossed.

Kräuter walked up to Meishu, of course having to look up at him. “Fine then,” she told him “Girls search, guys build! ‘K?” she asked whilst winking and smiling. She then turned back at the group. Before Meishu could say anything, or respond to Kräuter in denial, the rest of the group answered back with “OK!” to Kräuter, who faced back at Meishu. “I see, you see! It’s a darn done deal!” she told him.

All Meishu could do was shake. He didn’t even know if there were any other boys. But luckily, he found that there were. Once all the girls left, he was left with only the boys. “So…” Meishu began, “Shall we get to work…?” .

Meishu was quite weirded out. It was hard to believe, but ever since he left his mother and father behind in Japan, Meishu had only seen other boys a few other times. It was amazing to be surrounded by them now - but also quite unfamiliar.

One of the boys looked up at Meishu, “So, what’ll we be building with?” he asked. The boy had long grey pants, with a light grey shirt, and a white with black outlines jacket, that could button up. He also had glasses, and black hair.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Meishu looked around. “To be honest, I don’t even know.” he told the boy. “How about we just find an already pre-built place? I mean, this is heaven, where the best homes are, right?” he questioned. The boy sighed. “I guess so.” he told Meishu, as he walked off.

Meishu turned quickly. “Where’re you going?” he asked the boy. The boy stopped in his tracks at that, and turned - “To find a place! What do you think?” he asked Meishu. Meishu sighed in response to those words. “I need to use my brain…” he whispered to himself, as he began to follow the boy.

Soon, the other boys followed after Meishu, and his new little friend, off on their group trek to a new home.

Meanwhile, back with the girls, they had finally found a pond, where they could go fishing.

“Ready!?” called Ciel, as she held her hands above the water.

Charlotte shook her head in the uttermost mood of disappointment. “Let’s… Not go fishing with our hands…?” she begged the group. But, the stupidity has reached the other’s brains. They were already prepared to go fishing just like this. “I’m ready!” said Lucette, as she too, held her hands above the water. Charlotte backed up from the pond, as she face palmed, all before a little bug flew up to her. Scared, Charlotte jumped and hopped around, before tripping over a small rock, and falling sideways, then face forwards into the pond.

“Charlie!” called the girls, as they watched their food caught by hand loose attachment to another girl’s hand.

“Well, there goes our meal…” said Lune.

Stelline looked up at Lune. “Did you really expect that to be a whole meal?” she asked her. “No. Just that I liked that more than nothing.” Lune responded. Stelline whined in response, as she heard her stomach growl. “I guess you’re right!” she cried, as she looked at Charlotte, struggling to swim - whom Frankie decided to help. “Here ya’ go.” Frankie said as she lifted Charlotte out from the water. Charlotte plopped onto the ground. “It was glowing!” she shivered.

Frankie rubbed the water off her sleeve, “Comment vous dites?” she asked Charlotte. Charlotte shook slowly, and began to whine and cry. “Whaaaaat!?” she asked Frankie. Frankie hit her on the head. “I thought you were a Frankie!” she told her. Charlotte stopped crying. “Huh?” she asked now.

Frankie took a deep breath in, then a long exhale out. “Your name is Charlotte. Is that not French?” Frankie asked. Charlotte sat there, and thought for a second, “I guess it might be.” she answered, as she still continued to sit still. The rest of the group were sitting with the same dumb looks as Charlotte.

“What is it everybody? What are you guys looking at?” asked Frankie.

The rest of the girls were still mute, and looking off. Frankie sighed, and looked off - her eye was caught too! There, off in the distance, she could see a garden of fruits and vegetables. They didn’t look Tera-ly, but still edible. So, they all ran off over the water, and to the beautiful garden. “It’s like heaven!” said Ciel with excitement. “That’s because we’re in heaven!” replied Stelline with the same happy voice. “Wow!” yelled Adeline as she picked up some vegetables. “Eh-!” she cried happily.

“Here, put them in my hat!” said Ciel, as she took it off her head. “We’ll be eating good tonight!” yelled Yu.

While the rest of the girls yelled happily, Lucette and Lady Gael’ sat down, and watched them.

“To God, I hope they know how to cook,” said Lucette.

“To God, I hope they know what that is.” stated Lady Gael’, as a bug flew by her. Lucette jumped up, and caught it. “Ah!” she shouted “Is this what Charlotte saw?” she asked as she opened her hands.

Lady Gael’ leaned over to take a look - “Let me see.” she asked of Lucette.

When Lucette let her see, Lady Gael’s eyes widened.

“She’s right, it does glow!” Lucette shouted, as her mouth opened.
