Hello, I'm WWII Enthusiast, and this is my first anime fanfic, and my third story.
I'm working on this and another fanfic. If you like the Call of Duty series or Battlefield 4, then check those stories.
But for this fanfic, I'm writing on my favorite anime of all time, and I watch some great anime. Angel Beats! is one of the most emotional and life relating anime I watched (My first anime completely watched).
Since 2010, there were rumors of a second season coming out, but hopes of that pass, especially since the earthquake/tsunami disaster. But, the Visual Novel is coming this spring (Which I'm excited for).
This fanfic is inspired on the many fanfics in this archive. I hope you enjoy this story.
Warning: If you are yet to watch "Graduation", then I advised you not to read, as this chapter goes over a major reveal.
Prologue
Field...
"You know, Kanade… Would you… like to stay behind?" Yuzuru asked
"Eh?" Kanade was surprised
"I thought of it just now, suddenly. I mean, there will be people who will come to this world like Hinata and Yuri after having unfulfilled lives, right?"
"You're right." She resounded, in a monotonous voice.
"They could end up sticking around here like Yuri and the others did. And continue to suffer and resist the opportunities they've been given here."
"You're right."
"But if we stayed behind, we could tell them the good part of being here and guide them to graduation. I may have come here to play that role."
The wind began to blow lightly
"So… Would you like to stay behind with me? If you stay with me, I wouldn't be lonely, even in a world like this… I may have said this before, but… I want to be with you… I want to continue to be with you."
Kanade began to walk toward him...
"Because I… I just… I love you… So much…"
Yuzuru walked over to her, and hugged her, "I love you…"
Nothing had been said...
Kanade slowly closed her eyes, and lower her head in sadness.
"…Why won't you say anything?"
"I don't want to answer."
"Why not?"
"Because I would be obliterated if I say what's on my mind right now."
Yuzuru was confused, "Why?"
"Because, I came to say 'thank you' to you."
He was still confused, "What do you mean?"
"I'm the girl whose life you saved, with your heart."
Yuzuru's eyes widen.
Kanade pulled away from him, still shocked, "In my chest right now, your heart is beating… My only regret in life was how I couldn't say 'thank you' to the person who have gave time back to me…" She was somewhat smiling, "That's what I wanted to say… That was the only thing that kept me from fulfillment and made me come to this world."
"You mean… But how do you know it was me?"
"I've realized it since the time I first stabbed you… You have no heart."
Yuzuru was shocked, and put his hand on his chest, as if he were trying to find a beat
"But that's not enough to…"
But she continued, "The reason why you were able to regain your memory, is because you had that dream while lying on my chest… You were listening to your own heartbeat."
He remembered… After the Harmonics Disaster, he slept by her side. Only then, he regained his memories.
"That's…" He was speechless.
Kanade turned to him, "Yuzuru. Please… Can you say those words… just once more?"
He took a step back, knowing what will happen, "I-I can't… If I did… you'd be obliterated."
"Yuzuru. Please." Her face now showing more emotion.
"Saying it again… I can't!"
"Yuzuru!"
He blinked… His eyes trembling...
"Please let me believe what you believe in, too. Let me believe that life is wonderful."
Yuzuru looked at her, on the verge of crying...
"Yuzuru."
"Kanade…" They embraced each other, "I love you… Let's always be together."
"Yes… Thank you, Yuzuru."
He kept going, his words now shaking, "We'll always… always be together!"
"Yes… Thank you!"
"I love you…" He hugged her even more,"…Kanade…"
"Yes. Thank you so much…"
"Kanade…" He cried, his tears running down his cheeks.
"Thank you for loving me."
"Don't disappear on me!… Kanade… Kanade!"
She closed her eyes, "Thank you… so very much… for giving me life."
Yuzuru fell to the ground. She was gone… He tried to grab the air, and touch her again… But no one was there. He was alone… all alone...
"..k….KANADE! ! !"
The scream can be heard around the school… And in the sky above… a bright star, rising upward... into the next world….

Someday...
Classroom
Classroom Building A
The students were taking a test… But one of them, didn't wrote a thing. He slammed his hands on the desk. The NPCs looking at him.
"I know it!"
ANOTHER EPILOGUE
Angel Beats!
"All of these classes mean nothing. It's all made up!"
"Uhh…" was all the teacher said, "What are you saying…"
"I died without achieving anything! I already know that! What's the point of doing any of this?! Do I go to Heaven if I get a good grade or something?" His hand started to tighten on the paper.
He turn to the NPCs, looking at him like he's snapped, "Someone tell me! Answer me!"
All of a sudden, the door opened.
The NPCs looked at the new person.
"Crap. The Student Council President." One whispered.
"What timing to show up." another whispered
"He's gonna get killed."
He approached the man, his orange hair standing out in the room… and grabbed the man's collar,
"Then stop whining and do something about it. You have something you want to do, right? What do you need to accomplish that? What do YOU need right now? Answer me!… One person needed courage to face the past. Masami Iwasawa… Another person needed effort to make a dream come true… Yui… and Hideki Hinata… Yet another person needed time and friends… Yuri Nakamura… What about you?"
"The boy's face grew with anger, "Right now… it's the courage to stand up to you!"
Otonashi reacted surprised, but smiled, "Okay. Look. You can do it." He turn back toward the Student Council Room, " You know the way from here… If you feel more anger at the unfairness of it all or lose you way, come to the Student Council Room. I'll be there… waiting…"
The NPCs were amazed at him, "OHHH, He's so cool! He's way out of this world!"
One of the female NPCs asked, "He's called 'Otonashi-san, right? Does he have a girlfriend?"
Her friend answered,"I heard he's waiting for someone."
"He is?"
The teacher clapped at his desk, "Hey, quiet down! Focus on your tests! You, too! Take your seat already!
The boy's anger returned...and crumbled the test...
Meanwhile, in the Student Council room, Otonashi waited, sitting by some flowers. Golden flowers… the ones Kanade gardened, matching her eyes…. and he look at some pictures on the wall, the pictures of the SSS...
