This is my 1st ever FanFic.

Crashing Hearts

Sei, Youko, and Eriko met up on a cafe that night, just the three of them several months after their graduation from Lilian High. They were catching up on each other's life. A meeting between old friends. A rare break from the hectic beginning of their new phase in life. Yamanobe-sensei came to take Eriko home. After bidding their farewells there was only Sei and Youko left.

Sei grinned and scratched the back of her head while asking, "So Youko, how are you going to get home?"

"I think I'll take the train" Youko answered, "And you Sei, how are going to get home?"

Sei smiled while dangling her car keys, "I brought my baby. Come on, I'll drive you home."

"I don't want to trouble you Sei, I'm can go home on my own. But thank you for the kind offer." Youko politely declined.

"Nonsense! I would be more troubled I let you go home on your own this late." Sei said, "It is my duty and my pleasure to take you home, Youko. Now let's not waste anymore time, I parked around the corner." She grabbed Youko's hand and tugged it towards the corner, not giving Youko a chance to say anything. Sei was in the mood for gallantry that night. She hardly ever flirted with Youko, but still she cares a lot about her raven haired friend.

After they made their way on board the yellow new VW beetle, Sei started the car and drove off, drove off like mad man to be exact. Youko gave a firm grip on Sei's right hand,

"There's no rush Sei, please drive more sensibly"

"Oh I'm sorry Youko, I just don't have that much patience." The car decelerated slightly as Sei eased her foot on the gas pedal.

Youko slightly frowned "You know, I wouldn't mind a long ride with you. There still so many things we could talk about"

"Gee, I didn't think you enjoy my company that much." Sei smirked."What do you want to talk about?"

"Well, you seem to have spare time to go to Lilian High. How are things going now?" Youko asked

Sei turned towards her passenger while grinning "Ah, the ever-meddling Youk.."

"WATCHOUT!" Youko screamed!

BAM!

Sei slammed the brakes a split-second too late. She didn't even had the chance to look straight ahead. She saw Youko's body being thrown forward due to the force of impact. Thankfully both Sei and Youko had their safety belts fastened.
