Part 2! I hope it's good .


It’s been a week since my encounter with the shinigami. Things haven’t been the same though. I did some errands the day after and did some cleaning of my apartment. My mom called also. I hate to admit that I lied that everything was going well. I don’t want to worry her that her oldest is possibly losing her mind. My parents don’t know that I can see ghosts. Neither do my siblings. As far as I know I’m the only one in my family who can. My mom told me that she and my dad were planning to visit my brother in Tokyo on his 21st birthday. And that Setsuna is engaged to be married. Why Setsuna didn’t let me know first kind of upsets me. On Sunday I went to a movie with some friends of mine. My weekend was pretty normal I guess. It wasn’t until Monday that things were strange again. At work we had a new librarian named Nanao Ise ; she’s also my new neighbor in the vacant apartment next to me. She seems to be a nice person. She is serious though and doesn’t put up with Kane Sato’s pranks. I wonder if her working and living near me has to do with what happened last Friday.

I thought this Saturday was going to be uneventful as usual. Nanao stopped by for a visit and I sort of know what’s going on with me. She wasn’t dressed like she was at work. She was dressed in a long black kimono with an armband on one of the sleeves. She was sent by her superior to investigate why a human could see a shinigami. She told me that it was rare for a human to be able to see ghosts let alone a shinigami. She also said that 17 months ago there was a war that has possibly affected the balance of things as far back as 50 years ago. And that the woman I saw was Lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi of the Research division . She was sent, according to Nanao, to investigate past years to see if there was any major effect from the war. Apparently I was one of a few dozen individuals in Japan and the United States that shouldn’t be spiritually aware but have somehow become that way. She couldn’t tell me much more than that, but if I needed any assistance I was supposed to contact one of the Soul Societies allies that lived here in Karakura town. That was the last I saw of Nanao . I feel a little better that there are others that are like me. I still wonder about my abilities.Maybe someday I’ll be able to meet those others. I’m going to do my best to be normal. That’s the least I can do I guess. Nanao also said that if the man who caused the war ever escaped his prison , that he would seek out those who were affected. But she said there was a very slim chance that he would ever be free in my life time. I'm not as comfortable with seeing ghosts as I thought I was. Hopefully that man never gets free. I don't want to be used to harm others.I don't want my family to be in danger. I need to be able defend myself. I need to find these allies that Nanao mentioned. But how do I find them?
