"I'll marry you! Even if you can't walk or stand, even if you can't have kids, I'll still marry you!" Tears slid down Yui's stained cheeks, as Hinata continued to speak. "No matter what, I'll find you, and I'll fall in love with you again!"

Offering one last smile, Yui's vision faded to darkness, his voice still fresh in her ears.

The field was barren save for a lone helmet and bat that were neatly placed on the ground.

"Are you okay with that?" asked Otonashi.

Hinata gazed solemnly at the place where she once stood. Smiling wryly to himself, "Of course"... not.

"What are you going to do now?" The orange haired teen placed his hand on Hinata's shoulder.

Grabbing hold of Otonashi's shoulder in return, he turned both of them away from the field towards the school. "Of course I'll help you out till the end. Don't worry about me." Forcing a smile onto his face, "Now, let's go!"

"Yui!" The young mother breathed heavily as she caught up desperately with her daughter. "I told you to be careful around streets!"

"Sorry, Mama…" The 4-year old glanced up at her mother with large round eyes. "I just wanted to play with my friends." She looked at the nearby playground where she could see her playmates running about.

Sighing, the mother knelt down at eye-level with her daughter. "It's alright, just be mindful of where you're going, okay? And don't forget to look both ways when you're crossing the streets."

"Yes!" The little pink-haired girl made a small salute and diligently walked her way to the street. As her mother had said, she looked both ways and made sure there was no scary car coming her way. She looked for her mother's approval, and when she got the nod, Yui bounded across towards her friends.

She had safely made it across, much to her happiness, and her mother soon caught up to her.

"Mama, can I have the ball?" Her mother then gave her the red bouncy ball that she had been holding. "Thank you!"

While Yui made her way to her friends, excited to play with her new ball, her mother walked towards the other parents that were sitting on the bench.

Yui tossed the ball to her playmates for a while, playing monkey in the middle. However, the friend who was tossing to her accidentally threw it a little harder than usual, making it go past Yui before she could catch it. Adamant that she would not let the "monkey" get out, Yui chased after the ball. She didn't notice that she had stepped onto concrete until her mother yelled her name.

"Yui! Get back over here!" Her mother started running towards her.

She had already gotten the ball, so Yui began to make her way over to the park again, not noticing the large truck that had just turned onto the street.

Her mother began to scream and in a panic, Yui looked around straight into the eyes of the oncoming vehicle.

Crash!

"Go...good job, Hinata." The blue haired parents stared dumbfounded at the broken statue in their yard, and turned their heads towards their son who had just shot a baseball into it. The baseball had gone straight over the father's head and into the statue, as if Hinata had been aiming for it.

"Dang, son. I should've bought you a baseball bat before you're fifth birthday!" Hinata's father ruffled his son's blue hair affectionately. "Don't know how happy your mother's gonna be with you swinging that thing around like a pro."

His mother patted her son's back while glaring at her husband. "Ah, but pros don't go around wreaking havoc on their own home, now do they Hinata?"

"No, mother!" Hinata quipped. However, he gave a devilish wink towards his father, who returned it in good nature. Catching their exchange, his mother playfully hit both of their heads.

"Alright, we should head inside soon. We'll deal with the statue tomorrow." His mom grabbed Hinata's hand who in turn grabbed his father's hand.

Hinata awoke to sunlight in his eyes. Still bleary with sleep, he managed to make his way downstairs where his parents were having breakfast.

"Good morning, my pro baseball player." His father winked at him from over the daily newspaper. Hinata sat down in the chair next to him as his mother placed a plate of pancakes in front of them before sitting down herself.

His father sipped from his coffee as he glanced over the paper. While Hinata was stuffing his face with pancakes, to which he received a glare from his mother, he noticed his father reading a particular article.

"What's up, Dad?" Oftentimes, his father would only browse the paper unless something caught his eye.

"Huh? Oh…"

"What is it dear?" His mom asked.

"Apparently, there was an accident yesterday concerning a young girl. She got hit by a rushing truck in the middle of the street." he replied. Hinata, shocked by this news, paid attention to as much as he could understand.

"Oh my, that's horrible. Is she alright?" His mother glanced worriedly over the paper herself.

His father shifted so she could have a better view. "She's alive, but the paper says there's no definite diagnosis yet." Hinata shifted his chair so he could see the article.

What caught his eye was a picture of a pink haired girl - Yui, 4 y/o, the caption said - smiling without a care in the world.

She's really pretty, he thought. I hope she's okay.

And that's the first chapter, everyone! It has some slight changes from the original, for example Hinata and Yui still being called Hinata and Yui after the reincarnation and their ages being about a year older.

I want to thank all those who have been waiting for another chapter, and although this may not be what you were expecting, I hope you stick with me till we get to the part I left off with the original IFY.

Please review and as always, I'll be
