Something splashed on my face! So cold! "Wah!" I woke up with a start. Still disoriented, I slowly sat up and I tried opening my eyes but all I can see is black! I tried to blink and placed my hand in front of my face to see if I can even spot just a vague shape, but I can't! I'm blind!? Just when I'm about to enjoy life as a ghost I became blind! It's that bitch's fault that I got blinded!
"Bitch! Once I get my hands on you even if I'm blind let's see if I am not able to teach you a lesson!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. So unfair!
"Who are you going to beat up?" Someone asked from behind me. I was surprised at the sudden voice behind me that I lost my balance and my face fell flat on the hard floor!
"The fuck! Show yourself, coward!" I instinctively shouted. I forgot that I got blinded, even if he is in front of me I won't be able to see him!
While I was monologuing and berating myself for being an idiot, there was a small blue fireball that pops out of nowhere! Even though this blue flame is small, it still able to lighten this small room I'm sitting in.
Looking around, I noticed that this small room doesn't have any windows and the walls look damp and moldy. There is no bed, just a pile of straws at the far end corner of the room. I looked to my left and saw that wooden bars are blocking the way, and there is a lot of paper pasted on them.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm in prison. And those papers pasted on the wooden bars could be talismans to make sure that ghosts or spirits won't be able to escape here. I'm betting that the one who put me here is that bitch from earlier. Just because she's beautiful doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants!
I sharply looked at the person holding the blue flame. He looked like the bitch-goddess that I saw earlier but this one is a man. He is wearing a dark blue kimono with light blue mountains and clouds as a design on them.
He has slender hands and his features are feminine. I would have mistaken him as the goddess earlier if I hadn't noticed that exposed chest of his. If I had mistaken him for that goddess, without a doubt I would have pounced on him and try to get a few punches here and there.
"What are you gawking at dimwit?" He said coldly. They must be siblings, they speak in the same rude manner, no doubt in that.
"I'm not gawking at you, I was just trying to see if I know you. You look like that bi- Wait! Hold up! How come I can understand you?!" I exclaimed.
Earlier I can't understand a word but now he is talking to me and I can understand him! We are not speaking in the same language but we can understand each other!? He is speaking in Japanese and I'm using English but still, I can communicate with him?
Is he using some kind of magic or did I become a language genius?! Since this is the spirit world anything can be possible! I looked up at him again and trying to determine if he is also a shinigami or is like an official like what I have watched in those anime.
"May I know who you are and where is this place?" I asked him politely. Even if he is rude and doesn't deserve my respect, I still need to get out of this prison and he might be able to let me out of here. So for that goal, I need to keep cool and bear with this for a little bit.
"How dare you ask My Lord's name! Who do you think you are talking to?!" Someone shouted from outside the wooden bars and basing from his old scratchy voice it must be the old shinigami from earlier.
"Look here old man, I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything just want to know who I'm talking to and where this place is. You are the one being rude shouting at me!" I can't help but get irritated at his high and mighty attitude!
"O-old man?! Yo-you! I am not old! I just had the flu that's why my voice is like this!" The old dude shouted and seemed flustered.
"Yeah, yeah! You are not old, and I'm not a ghost." I sarcastically answered him. As if I would believe that!
"Why you-! My Lord, don't waste any more time with this filthy and mannerless spirit! Just let her rot in prison and let the Hags deal with her!" He said respectfully to the man in front of me.
"Chikafusa, you are being mouthy." The man said coldly.
"Forgive me, My Lord!" The old man named Chikafusa apologized. He must be kneeling right now since he was scolded by this cold but handsome man.
He turned his attention back to me. With that piercing gaze, I can't help but swallow my non-existent saliva. His presence is intimidating I can't look straight to his eyes, all I can do is bow my head and sweat buckets.
"You, look up and tell me your name and where you came from." He commanded me. I slowly lift my head to look up but still kept my eyes down not dare to stare at his face or he might insult me again.
"I'm Colliet Aura Morccabo, 23 years old. From the Pearl of Orient Seas, Philippines!" It may sound like an introduction for a pageant but I still told him in case he doesn't know where in the world PH is.
"How come you came here? What is your goal by coming in contact with that evil spirit?" He asked. With intense pressure coming from him, this is becoming an interrogation instead of just a simple Q&A portion.
"I'm not plotting anything! I just happened to meet her on the plane when I decided to travel. She just decided to take me in and acted all chummy but in truth, I'm really scared of her! I'm just a nobody so please spare me!" Whew! I'm becoming a pro at groveling! Just you all wait once I get to know my powers, it will be your turn to grovel at my feet! Muahaha!
As if he can hear my thoughts, he narrowed his eyes, fling the blue flame at the unlit torch hanging from the side. He walked slowly towards me and leaned closer, he reached out his hand and held my chin to raise my head so I can look at his face.
Looking at his eyes and his face it was a critical hit to my heart! I can't believe he is this close to me! While I was mesmerized at his handsomeness, he was staring at me intensely. Then suddenly his face is coming near me, startled, I tried to back away but his grip on my chin is too strong I can't move away! He is almost an inch away from my face! What the heck is happening?! Am I going to get my first kiss since becoming a ghost!?
