Another new story, an amount of time that has been wasted. Anyway, someone wanted me to make a sequel to Angel Beats! Honestly, I hated the ending. That made me cry and I'm a guy. And you know what that means? MANLY TEARS = SERIOUS BUSINESS.

I actually had something like this in mind. And I just hope that I can get the characters in their right personalities. If I can do it, I'll be proud of myself. If I can't, oh well.

Enjoy the story and I apologize if you find any mistakes.

DISCLAIMER- I do NOT own Angel Beats! or ANYTHING ELSE nor am I affiliated with them. I am just a normal average teenager with his own complex problems. :/

Another Life

Ch. 1- An Introduction

Why did I even do it…? Why did I tap on her shoulder? There isn't any logical explanation to why I did it. But… She seemed so familiar. Have I met her somewhere?

She looked back at me and blinked.

What should I say now?

"Kanade."

WAIT… Who the hell is that?

"Yuzuru."

HOW THE HELL DOES SHE KNOW MY NAME?

We both stared at each other for a bit and I realized that I had my hand on her shoulder. I quickly took my hand off her shoulder and blushed in embarrassment.

"Ahhh… Sorry," I bowed quickly and turned away from her. I started to walk away but the white haired girl grabbed my hand.

So soft…

I turned back to her and see her blushing. She's pretty cute…

"Um…" she started slowly, "N-Never mind!"

She quickly ran away into the crowds. I blinked once again and I looked at my hand. It feels so… Empty. For some reason, my face felt wet. Why does my heart hurt all of a sudden?

Why am I smiling? "Kanade…" Why are there visions of that girl in my mind?

"If you stay with me, I wouldn't be lonely."

Why am I saying these things?

"I want to be with you."

Why am I holding you…?

"Kanade. I love you. Let's always be together."

Why am I shaking? It must be because of the cold.

"I love you. Kanade."

Why is everyone staring at me?

"Don't disappear on me… Kanade."

"Kanade."

"Kanade."

"KANADE!"

Once again, I was at my house laying on my futon. A lot happened in life so far, but I wouldn't consider a lot of it to be good. At a young age, my parents died in a car accident. It was just another normal death situation. A drunk driver crashed his vehicle into the vehicle that my parents were in. My mother died right after. My father was sent to the ER. He was still living because of life support. My sister, Hatsune, and I would visit occasionally to see if he was fine. He said he was. My sister bought it but I knew better. My father was utterly heartbroken by the fact that he lost my mother. After a couple of months, my father died. The doctors said it was because he was slowly dying as we know it and we couldn't do anything to stop it. They could only slow it down. I know the truth though; he died because of a broken heart. Beyond that day, my mother and father were considered to be another pair of statistics added to the death toll of Japan.

During that period of time, I stopped attending school and Hatsune and I were living at my uncle's house. I was depressed and lonely so I stopped going to school altogeher. Why? One, because of what happened to my parents and I couldn't do anything to prevent their deaths. Two, because I didn't have someone to lean on. And three, because I was beaten and fucked up by someone. Why was I beaten and fucked up by someone? Because of a girl. This girl gave me a "love letter" and told me to meet her at the back the school. I actually liked this girl so I literally ran to the spot when class ended. Unfortunately, she only wanted me to come because her and her friends wanted a couple laughs. I felt ashamed and all of a sudden I was hit in the back of my head. I was beaten with a goddamn baseball bat by her fucking boyfriend.

Once I stopped attending school, I bought porn to satisfy my sexual hunger. Unfortunately, it didn't even do the trick. My sister was the only one in the family who attended school. I just did odd jobs to buy my needs and wants. My uncle supported the both of us. He always left me alone because he understood what I wanted. I wanted to be left alone.

Then one day… My sister fainted during class. My uncle and I were called to see what happened so we went to the hospital. We both found out that she had gotten an incurable mysterious disease. Once again, the both of us were helpless to do anything to save our loved one. My sister stopped going to school and all she did was lay on her hospital bed, watching everything that's happening outside from a window.

I decided to work as much as I can to make her happy. I knew I couldn't do much so I bought her manga. I didn't care what I got her so I got them at random. She would always accept them and say thank you. All of a sudden, my days seemed to get brighter and brighter all because of a thank you. Funny isn't it? When it hit me, I started to cry in front of her. She asked me why I was crying.

"Big brother… Why are you crying?" she looked at me with her big eyes.

"Because I can't do anything for you! I'M FUCKING USELESS!" I sobbed as I brought my hands to my face, "All I can do is buy manga for you. I don't even care what I buy you and yet, you always smile and read them even if they were the same copy. Even with everything that's happening, you still smile… It must be all of a façade… Haha… Yeah. It must be a façade!"

Then all of a sudden, she grabbed me and pulled me close.

"Big brother isn't useless. Big brother is always there for me. Big brother always buys me things just to make me happy. Because of the little things that big brother does, I'm always happy even though I know I'm going to die. Big brother… Stop crying. I'm truly happy. The happiest I can ever be. As long as you're here, I'm always going to be happy, big brother."

My anguish cries were heard throughout the whole hospital that day.

Those words gave me the strength to actually do something. I wanted to hear thank you and I wanted to make the people around me happy. And with that… I decided to go to school again.

I would go and continue my story, but my phone was vibrating. I looked at the caller id. I sweat dropped. It was Igarashi. I'm debating if I should answer. Hm…

"Hello?"

"HOI! Otonashi!"

"Ow!" I rubbed the ear that I put my phone on, "What do you want? It's past 9 something at night and I was doing something."

"Right… Fap. Fap. Fap. Fap."

"Shut it."

"Aha! Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that we have a new transfer student that's coming tomorrow!"

What…? He wasted my time to tell me that…?

"Good. Good. That's nice. I'm going now. Bye."

"WAIT! Don't you want to know her name at least?"

"Oh… So you've been stalking people lately?"

"Of course not! I just happened to have a very large amount of informants."

"Right… Well, entertain me."

"Hmph. And I was going to tell you that a girl in our class has an interest in you."

And do I look like I care? No. I'm done with getting a girlfriend. Most girls in my class are snobby and loud. I rather not deal with any of them.

"Whatever. So what is the new student's name?"

"Well, my informants told me that the new girl's name is Kanade Tachibana."

"Kanade Tachibana…?"

"Yeah, Kanade Tachibana. Oh, so you're interested all of a sudden?"

"…"

"Otonashi?"

"…"

"Otonashi?"

"…"

"Otona-"

I threw my phone somewhere on the floor. I can't believe it. Could it be that girl I saw earlier today…? No it couldn't… Maybe… No. GAAAAH. This is just getting to be too complex… I need some sleep.

"Kanade Tachibana… What a nice name…"

Hm... I hope that this was a good beginning. Oh well...

Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed the first chapter. Now that I'm finally going to be done talking, I'll be leaving now.
