Hey peeps, Arrin here…
Yes, these here little fiction. Well it came to mind when I was reading Tastychainsaws' fiction 'Feeding a Dream'. Actually it came to mind... 4 months after I read it... Nonetheless, this here is inspired by it. Anyway, it's nothing like his of course... since this includes Ui, Jun and bits of Mugi, Ritsu and Mio and Nodoka as well.
I hope you like it... Don't hesitate to tell me if I have made any mistakes or if it isn't angsty enough, since that is my main goal...
Full summary (More like better summary):
Yui's world came tumbling down the day she heard Azusa was no longer. Now she feels that for some reason it's her duty to find her and bring her back, but how does she intend to do that? More over, how will Ui cope with all of this? Is there more behind Azusa's death than one would like to believe?

Chapter 1 The last to hear
White. Everything was white. In fact so white she couldn't even see where a wall began or where it ended… not to mention the ceiling or floor.
She turned left of her to see a spec of black slowly growing bigger. When she focused on it, she saw it was in fact someone… Someone was walking towards her.
Suddenly an unbearably piercing screech made it harder and harder for her to focus on it and while she tried to cover her ears to soften the pain the screech was inflicting in her ears, it seemed the sound grew louder and sharper until she felt like her head was going to explode. She closed her eyes and tried to block out everything.
Then it stopped.
She slowly removed her hands from her ears, but didn't have the guts to open her eyes. When she thought she was ready, she opened them and saw nothing. Absolutely nothing. The world around her was now black. As black as her hair.
She was scared, yes. But somehow she knew someone would come to rescue her. Just when she had sparked a little bit of hope, she felt like she was falling! Deeper and deeper into nothingness, she fell, with nothing to hold on to, with no one to be afraid with.
"You don't deserve it…" A husky, crackly old voice whispered to her. The source, unknown.
[["L-l-… Please, l-let me go!"]] The more confidence she lost, the harder she felt she was falling. Confidence quickly left her small fragile body and fear crept in.
"You don't deserve to be there…"
Someone… Someone save me… was the only thought she had as she fell deeper into the darkness.
H-help me… "YUI-SENPAI, HELP ME!"
[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP]
The sound of her alarm clock startled her and she almost fell out of bed.
Was it all a dream?
She stood up to go to the bathroom and turned off her alarm clock off in the process. She groggily picked a tube of toothpaste and as soon as she smeared a little on her toothbrush she began to brush her teeth… almost falling asleep again…
She got dressed afterwards and happily walked to school. Strange though… She hadn't seen any of her friends on her way to school… Now that she even thought about it, her morning seemed a little out of balance. Did she miss something perhaps? Or did she forget something?
Uh-oh… I forgot my phone at home… Ooh, well… I'll surely see them when I get to class…
She quickened her pace so she wouldn't worry her friends for being such a klutz. As she ran past the door, put on her indoor slippers and sprinted to her classroom, she couldn't help but feel… uneasy. On her way to her home room she met Himeko.
"Err… W-what are doing here-"
"I have school, silly Hime-chan!" She couldn't place it, but it seemed Himeko looked a little tense and terrified, which was very different from her usually laidback attitude and smiley face.
She stormed into the class room and once she did, everyone stared at her. The sudden silence was in a way deafening to her ears as she slowly walked to her desk all the way in the back, right behind her childhood friend. As she placed her bag onto the bag holder of her desk she felt everyone's eyes on her, watching her every move. It was quite disturbing and she couldn't help but feel something was wrong. She tried to push the thought of something bad happening to someone out of her mind. She wouldn't want to imagine such horrible things… even more so she couldn't imagine horrible things ever happening to, what was for her the best life ever.
"Hey, Kyoko-chan, where's Nodoka-chan? And Mio-chan and Ricchan and Mugi-chan?"
Said girl just stared at her, disbelief staining her otherwise happy face. "Y-Yui-chan… Cc-could you uhm… go to S-S-S-SSawako-sensei… Sh-She's expecting you…"
"Ooh, all right. Thanks, Kyoko-chan!" And she sprinted off to the teacher's lounge. Once there she knocked and opened the door to see Mugi totally out of it while Ritsu was trying to wake up Mio. Fear finally crept back into her mind as she slowly walked towards the grim faced sensei.
"Sawa-chan sensei, what's wrong?" She asked when she saw her friends in the state they were in. Yui feared for the worst when her sensei refused to speak.
"I-is it Ui? Is Ui okay? I-I haven't seen her t-this morning a-and… and my phone is at home so…"
She stopped talking when Sawako slowly shook her head, signaling her sister was fine.
"Then what? Sawa-chan sensei, you're scaring me… tell me…" Yui's voice trembled and she felt her body shaking as well.
"[Sigh]… I'm sorry, Yui-chan… Azusa…"
At the mention of her dear kohai Yui realized she hadn't seen Azusa this morning as well. "Yeah, where is Azunyan? I haven't seen her since this morning and…" Yui's voice trailed off when she saw the tears forming in the corners Sawako's eyes.
"She…"
Yui's heart skipped a beat… maybe several more… when she heard the devastating sentence that would be etched into her mind, heart and head forever.
"… died yesterday"
At that moment, the beautiful bubble Yui was living in all her life popped and with that all the color faded to black and white right in front of her eyes. She slumped down, not even having enough energy to cry and just stared into nothing. Her eyes… as empty as the darkness could allow…
Anyway so this was the first chapter. I've decided to continue it since my mood is right for it. I hope you like it. Review if you want... Tell me if I'm missing anything, or if didn't see something I should have (Like some awesome thing that should have been awesomer if I'd have seen it with my own eyes).. And see you in the next chapter.
Also, special thanks to Ninokid49 for pointing out the missing factors in this fic
