Signs: (THINKING) [ACTION] ***** = change in time or place Seikimatsu no Angel Chapter 1 (Angel at the end of the century) Suzuka: (There is one wish. I don't need to be his girlfriend. At least have myself reflect in the pupil of his eyes.) A group of girls are doing a fortune telling. Whether they and Konno Naoto would love each other. Suzuka: Konno is popular, as usual. Miyabi:It turned out that you like a highly competitive person... Suzuka: He's the person of the past. We bearly talk to each other after our classes have changed. Miyabi: That's why you should have confessed when you were in the same class as him in Gr. 7! Suzuka: But he gets confessed everyday! And I heard he rejected everyone of them. I don't want to get rejected. Miyabi: But you still like him don't you? Miyabi starts to fortune tell about Suzuka and Naoto, with her tarot cards. Miyabi: Wow Suzuka, your future is bright! Shortly, you'll have a sudden approch with the person you love. Suzuka doesn't believe her. Miyabi turns another card and sees the card of death. ***** After school, Suzuka stays to see Naoto run. (He's a part of the track and field.) Suzuka: (In fact, I would love to believe Miyabi's fortune telling. If I could just be an existence a little special to him.) ***** At night On Konno's way home, he sees a couple walking by. He doesn't notice the car behind him and it runs into him. There's a sound of an ambulance. Suzuka comes out of the convenient store and she gets asked out by two guys. Suzuka: I'm sorry but I'm going home! Guy 1: Wait. [Grabs her shoulder.] You don't have to walk away. Suzuka: Let me go! Guy 1: Don't be so loud. Someone hits Guy 1 in the face and it turned out to be Naoto. It seems that the two guys can't see him and runs away. Naoto: Finished with one punch? Suzuka: Konno? Naoto: Here, get up. [Offers his hand] But when Suzuka trys to grab onto his hand, her hand went through his. Naoto: I guess I am dead... Suzuka: (What? Dead? Maybe I'm not thinking right.) Naoto: Enami, I'll explain so listen carefully. Suzuka: (Konno is floating on air?) Naoto explained how he was hit by a car. And how he realized that he was floating in the air and saw himself taken away by an ambulance. Naoto: You don't believe this, do you? Suzuka:Doesn't matter whether you're a ghost or a goblin. But I won't believe that you are dead! [Runs away.] Naoto: Enami!! Suzuka: (What's all this! what do I do if he really was dead!? I love him and I still haven't told him. It's fine. I'm sure it was all just a dream. He'll be laughing when I go to school tomorrow. ***** The next day, just as Suzuka got to school, Miyabi comes running up to her, with Etsu(her boyfriend), breathlessly. Miyabi: Just now, I heard this from someone in class D. Konno got in a traffic accident yesterday and he lost consciousness!! Suzuka: (So it wasn't a dream? Konno is really...) Hm? What!? Miyabi! What did you say? Miyabi: Konno was in an accident and... Suzuka: Lost consciousness!? Konno is alive!? Naoto: For real!? oh hi. Miyabi: wasn't there a voice of Konno? Etsu: ............... What are you doing here? Get back in your body. Naoto: Saijou!? You can see me too!? Miyabi: In a matter of fact, Ett chan does have an inspiration. Konno is there!? [She can hear him but can't see him.] After few conversations, they decide to go to Chuou hospital where Naoto's body is. ***** At Chuou hospital Suzuka: (Wow, it really is Konno...) Miyabi: How is Naoto kun? Naoto's mom: There aren't any external injury that stands out. Apparently, he hit the back of his head really hard. The doctor says if his consciousness recovers, it will be a relief. But we don't know when that'll be. It may be tomorrow, 10 years from now, or even forever. Suzuka: That won't be happening!! Naoto: That's right mom!! Naoto's mom leaves and they think of ways for Naoto to get back in his body. But none of them worked. Etsu: Normal ghosts would pass away peacefully after having their revenge. But in your case, your soul is just out of your living body. ***** They are on their way out of the hospital. Naoto asks Etsu if he could stay at Etsu's house, but Etsu refuses. Naoto definitely doesn't want to stay in the hospital. Miyabi: How about you stay at Suzuka's house! Suzuka: What!? Miyabi: Her parents are in Kyushu and there's only her big brother and her! Naoto: Is that ok Enami? In return while I'm there, I'll be your guardian spirit. Suzuka: (Am I special girl to him now?) Sure, if you want to. Naoto: We have an agreement. Suzuka: (I wonder if this is a magic that disappears after Konno wakes up...) ***** Next morning at Enami family's house(Suzuka's house) Naoto wakes Suzuka up and suzuka is surprised to see Naoto so close up. She screams and her brother comes in. Suzuka's brother: What happened Suzuka!? Suzuka: Oh, I just had a scary dream. Suzuka is combing her hair while Naoto is appologizing Suzuka: My room is off limit to you while I'm asleep, alright!? Be out in the hall!! Naoto: Right. Were you like that? You say things pretty clearly. Suzuka: What? Naoto: When we were in Gr. 7, I never sat near you, remember? So I didn't have much impressions of you... Suzuka: (In other words, you took no account of me!?) Suzuka's brother is off to a trip with his friends in university. He'll be back the day after tomorrow. Naoto: I guess I'll go to the hospital now. Suzuka: I want to go after school but I have things to do, so... Naoto: That's ok, I'll be back in the evening. Bye. [Goes through the wall] Suzuka: Go out from the door! (I still can't believe that Konno is in the hospital. why am I able to see him?) ***** In the evening at home, Suzuka is washing the dishes. On TV there is a show about the ghosts. Suzuka changes the channel. It's a news about a robber who is yet to be caught. Suzuka: (I hope he comes back soon.) Someonewalks into the living room. Suzuka washes the dishes happily and there's someone standing behind her.
