as I brushed against this light-haired girl, I saw her face. "Oh, I'm so-" I stopped in mid sentence. This girl looked... Familiar, somehow. And she seemed to have the same reaction. "You look... Familiar" She told me. "Like we've met in some kind of... Past life."

"Funny," I said "I was thinking the same thing! The name's Yuzuru." I extended my hand. "Kanade." She said. That name alone seemed to trigger something inside of me, memories rushing back to me in a flash flood. My head whipped back, as I staggered in the same direction... The SSS, Hinata, Naoi, Yuri, they all came rushing back to me. "T- Tachibana-san..."

She looked at me, genuinely surprised. "How do you- UGH!" She seemed to do the same as me. "Oto... Otonashi!" She nearly screamed, as she embraced me. Funny, I always thought I was missing something in this life, and here it was. This light-haired girl, and a coincidental meeting.

Or was it? Maybe this was fate, maybe we were destined to meet her here, on this dirty, busy sidewalk in Hokkaido.

"No."

I'd had no idea a single word could be so scary, and yet, this one was. Our surroundings seemed to melt away, revealing a huge, dark shape. One thought pushed against the back of my mind

THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE

want more? Review! I need constructive criticism, as long as you're not just being mean. :D Have a good day!
