I recently re-read and re-watched Azumanga D, and as usual it was awesome. SO this idea just popped into my head. Will update, but reviews will give me extra motivation! hint hint.

Flame away if you like...whatevs...

It isn't slash...well there will be some later on...but not by the main characters...meh read and you'll find out...

Azumanga is not mine, I just borrow it from time to time. Also i make no profit, as if anyone would pay to read this anyway!

Chapter 1

"Takino! Take the shot, NOW!"

The bullet that left her gun could not have been any slower. She could see everything the engravings, the smoke as it travelled towards her target. Her stomach churned at the thought of what was going to happen, as this shot was not to wound; it was to kill. She could hear the scream from the woman on the floor as the bullet hit the boy of just seventeen in the chest. Automatic reaction kicked in and she fired another two shots.

Suddenly there was blood on her hands, blood everywhere. She looked up and he was still alive the wounds from his head and chest seeping as he stumbled towards her.

"Why? Why?" He kept repeating the same thing over and over, and her fear level hit the roof as she found she couldn't move. "No!" She cried, "Stay away!" as he came closer and closer and closer and...

"Tomo! Tomo! Wake up, come on Tomo wake up!"

Tomo Takino shot up and reached for her gun on the bed side table. She panicked, it wasn't there. Glancing at the walls she realised this was not her bedroom, but she did know the place.

"Relax Tomo." She heard a familiar voice and a hand was placed on her arm. Tomo looked up to see her best friend Yomi looking at her worried.

"Same dream again." It wasn't a question, Yomi already knew.

"Yeah," Tomo ran a hand through her hair as she moved to sit up, her head hurt like hell and she couldn't quite remember why she was here.

"You rocked up here late, about 1:30am. I think you'd managed to down more alcohol than Yukari this time." Yomi answered her unasked question. That was what it was like between the two. They had known eachother for almost 18 years, they were like sisters.

Flashbacks started to appear and Tomo started to remember what happened the night before. "Sorry Yomi. I sort of, spoiled your night hey..."

There was a knock on the opened door and they both looked towards the man in his mid-twenties standing in the doorway. "Hey Tomo, here I brought you some tea." He brought the two cups over handing one to Tomo before the other to Yomi and giving the latter a kiss on the forehead.

"Hey Akito, I'm sorry I interrupted last night." Tomo gave a wicked smile.

Akito gave a sheepish grin "It's okay No probs."

Yomi gave her a look and Akito just laughed as he left the two. Suddenly Yomi was serious again as she gave Tomo a look of concern.

"Tomo, you need to see the psychiatrist again, it's been three months."

"I've been meaning to tell you that Akito needs a haircut."

" No he doesn't, I like it. Don't change the subject, we're all worried about you."

They both glanced towards a photo on the wall. It was of all of them back at school in their final year.

"Yomi i don't need to hear this from you, so what i had a bit too much to drink and a bad dream, big deal." Tomo was on the defense.

"Tomo... it's almost every night. Look..." Yomi looked her straight in the eye.

"It wasn't your fault. You had no choice, you did the right thing. He would have killed her and the others."

Tomo looked away, she knew Yomi was right, but the other girl hadn't seen those eyes, that moment. She hadn't killed someone, she didn't have blood on her hands.

"He was just seventeen...he was the same age..." Tomo trailed off

"You need to talk to someone." Yomi started,

"And what Yomi, get analysed by some shrink who thinks he's better than me? Been there done that, I don't want time off, I don't want to think about it. What time is it anyway, I've gotta go to work." Tomo started to get up and get dressed.

"Tomo it's your day off today, it's the second friday of the month. Look Akito and I have gotta go, he's uh...meeting my mother. So your welcome to eat me out of house and home as you always do." Yomi followed as Tomo headed towards the kitchen.

A typical Tomo Takino smile suddenly appeared. "No worries! Seeing as you'll be single by the end of the day, you wont be needing this food anyway 'Tearful Little Diet Girl'."

"Idiot, when you break up with someone all you do is eat. Anyway I will not be single, it will go absolutely fine! It will, cause I'll do my best!"

"Whatever Yomi, i'll buy some choc chip ice cream for you."

"Like you can talk anyway with your track record!"

Yomi wasn't wrong, Tomo had never really had a serious relationship in her life. She was no virgin, as Kagura and Yomi had spent many a time 'reminding' her, but she certainly had never fallen in love. Plus since joining the force she never had any time anyway. In fact she never really had time for anyone lately. It had been 2 years since they had all been together, and bar Yomi and Kagura who lived near, she hadn't seen anyone for months.

"Meh, whatevs..." Tomo starting looking in the fridge.

"Yomi, are you ready to go? We're going to be late." Akito appeared

"Yeah honey, i'll be two minutes. Meet you at the car."

"Ooooooooh honey." Tomo teased

"What are we? In grade school now? Look I'll see you later, just think about what I said earlier ok?"

"I'm fine Yomi."

"How many more bad nights until you figure out your not?"

sooooo that's chapter one it's short but whatevs...lemme know what ya think eh!
