Have you ever thought that it should happen when you die? Probably you 
belong to those who believe that a hooded skeleton will come with a 
scythe, to taking you to the other life. Personally I would prefer meeting a 
girl dressed in a pretty kimono and sat on a broom.

What I never imagined is that I was going to appear in a typical room of 
apartment. 

-----------------------------------------GANTZ �: Chapter 1: The Room.

When I opened the eyes again the first thing that I could see was the tower 
of Tokyo across a crystal door.
The surprise did that I got up so sharply that I felt lightly sick.
While my head was clearing up, I realized that I had sensibility again in all 
my body and that my neck was perfectly.

" Have you also been on the verge of dying? "

I turned to discover the one who had done to me so surprising question.

This one turned out to be a man of medium age with glasses who seemed 
to me to be slightly familiar. Also I could observe that we were not alone. 
In the room there was at least another five � six persons in addition to a 
dog. Nevertheless what more was attracting my attention was a black 
sphere of, approximately, meter and a half of diameter

"Where am I? " It was the only thing that I managed to say.
"Well the same man answered "we are not sure of it yet."

A man of white hair who was dressing a pyjamas, sighed tiredly.

" I have already said it to you. We are dead. "

The man with glasses looked at him as who had heard the same response 
too many times.

" Well, this is one of the hypotheses that we have. "


But I was breathing and my heart was beating. Hypothesis! Why were they 
all so calm if they had been on the verge of dying? Why were not they 
trying to go out, to open the doors, to shout, anything?


I went towards the crystal door. But before arraiving, a hand in my 
shoulder stopped me.

"It is useless. We cannot even touch the walls � the doors. "

I turned towards my speaker, separating violently the hand.

" And you as you know it? "
" Because we have already tried it. "

I observe him thoroughly.

Higher than the average, he was dressing a uniform of school and was 
taking his long black hair brushed backward. In general he did not seem to 
be much older than me.

" And who are you? "
" I am Masaru Kat� "
" And how is it that you are here? " I asked sarcastically.
" My friend and I were knocked down by a train "
" Jackass. This was your fault "

This was the acid response of the seated young man next to him. Kat�, on 
having heard it, lower his head.

" You are right Kei. I was glad so much that you were helping me that I did 
not think in any more "

Kei was lower than Kat�. Tufts of dark hair were falling down to him for 
his face; he was dressed in a very similar uniform.

It was in this moment when the man of glasses approached me.

" Excuses me. You are the owner of the Uchan, right? "
" Yes. I am Ukyo. and you are...? "
" Masashi Yamada. I am employed as teacher at Nerima and have gone 
sometimes to eat to your restaurant ".


So that was the reason why I knew it.  Anyhow his aspect was so 
anodyne that it was surprising that I remembered him.


I turned towards those who were seated around the black sphere.

" Well, boys. I believe that it is a good moment to do the presentations "

The man of white hair rested against the wall.

" I am Gor� Suzuki. I think that you all know me "


The truth is that I had not realized till then; but as soon as I heard his name 
I recognized it.
He was a quite important politician who had appeared multiple times in the 
mass media.


The young man who was next to him pushed his long fringe.
 
No way. I'll pass.


As if this was a game! Perhaps was this idiot thinking that we were doing 
it for fun?


"Has anybody a cigarette?"

Without notice him I concentrated on the young man who had remained sat 
in the corner.

"I am Ichir� Nishij� and I fell down for an abyss"

When our looks crossed I felt an involuntary shiver and turned towards the 
other side of the sphere. Where there were two mastodons of short hair 
and few words.

"We are Yakuza. End"


Genial


The dog barked. As if it wanted to take part in the presentations.
Since nobody seemed to want to say anything more, except the blond one 
who continued asking for a cigarette, I sat down in front of the crystal 
door. I put the arms about my legs and supported the chin in the knees.


I had gone out to go for a walk to think. And after being knocked down, I 
was enclosed in an apartment. Was not it genial? At least now I had time to 
think. To think. To think in that? In going out of here? Apparently it was 
impossible. In my problems? When I didnt even know if I would return to my 
house.


"Uhaaa!"

On having raised the head, I discovered that it had originated the scream of 
surprise of Kei.

A feminine body was appearing in front of him. Three beams originating 
from the sphere, were constructing it, layer to layer. Which was allowing 
to see all his internal organs.


Had it been like that how I had appeared? Had it been like that how we all 
had been brought?


When the process completed the beams disappeared, and the body fell 
down in the arms of Kei; that had remained astonished.
While he reacted, Masashi, the blond one and I approach.

I had to admit that the girl was more attractive than me. chestnut-colored 
hair brushed of a way similar to Kei, small nose and mouth;  but her big 
breasts were the most emphasized of her physiognomy.
She was sat with the closed eyes and his left arm rested on the shoulder 
of Kei.

This one finally got over to his initial surprise and embraced the naked 
body of the girl.

"Can we know what are you doing?"

My question made that he blushed and gave up her.

"Why do you put this face of dickhead?" the blond one asked.
"I do not believe that you had made it better" I answered him.

Kat� was the first one in discover that had happened to the girl.

"She has blood in her wrists."

The teacher Yamada remained thoughtful.

"Will the veins have been cut?"
"Nevertheless she does not have any wound."

In this moment the girl opened the eyes and looked around her. Meanwhile 
she was separating of Kei she asked:

"Where am I? Who are you?"

And she laid down in the floor with the hands crossed over her belly. As if 
she was resting after a great physical effort.

"Are she thinking that is dreaming?" Kei commented.


This would explain because she was showing less decency than Ranma 
when he was transforming in girl.


This thought made me smile.

In this moment one of the Yakuza separated me aside of a push, seized the 
girl of the arm and forced her to get up.

"It will be better if you do not intervene"

And without saying more was directed toward the door with her.  


But what is this guy thinking about? What could he carry her by the force?  


I get his arm and oblige him to turn around.  

"What are you going to do with her?"
"Move away. If you won't be sorry about it."
I didn't move.  

"It will be better than you free her."
"No lil kid gives me orders."

I smiled to him.  

"Always there is a first time"

The mastodon gave up to the girl and attempt to punch me. But he was 
slow, too slow. I avoided him, simultaneously I kicked his stomach;throwing 
him to the floor.

"Bitch!"

He got up and he rushed against me. It was very simple to take advantage 
of his impulse to throw him against the floor.
Nevertheless this time, when he got up, didn't attack me again. Instead he 
extracted a gun of his jacket and aimed at me with it.

"Very well. The game has ended."


He was too much far away in order that I could take the gun from him. And 
I had no great confidence in being able to avoid the bullets. Anyhow if he 
started shooting surely someone would be hurt. The situation was 
complicated.


Without previous notice Kat� rushed on him, pushing him against the wall. 
The Yakuza, which was not waiting the attack, left to fall the gun.


And then the black sphere started singing.
