Chapter 1 - Delinquent, tears, and traffic accident.

A/N: Hello guys. I'm back after a long short vacation. I guess I'll just keep writing yuri stories for sometime more. ^^ My life is actually getting pretty bad and it makes me wanna just quit everything. But Mirakurun26-chan seemed quite sad so I guess I am hanging on for a while more.

WARNING: It's an AU. The events will start to unfold as the story goes on, so don't worry! And there is a little OOC too. But in a way, that is how the character's personality will be if things were to happen this way, I think.

Human always judge others by their exterior, their appearance and actions. They never have enough time to look into someone's heart, even through they keep blabbering on and on about rubbish things such as "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Today, I am going to bring you a story, about a really sweet delinquent, who acts pretty tough on the outside, but actually is a girl that would get lonely from time to time. And another blonde, which saw through the delinquent's mask, looked at not only the girl's outside, but also the inside as well. And the story of true love that overcomes everything (yeah, that's the main theme). Thus, let's end the crazy talk and let the story begin.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

A loud, fierce shout could be heard in the Nanamori's senior high school ground. The source of that voice was a slim, average height brunette. The girl looked like she was quite annoyed as her glare piercing at the blonde, fragile-looking blonde who just bumped really hard into her. The girl was slowly pulling herself up from the ground, she apologized as she flashed an really shy smile. That blonde girl was no one else but Toshino Kyouko. Of course, being a girl of that age, despite the fact that she had a nice figure and a nice face as well, but due to her strange super shyness, Kyouko wasn't really popular. It was not her first time here, but it was her first day studying here. She's been here before, but only for completing files and stuff like that. The tomboy that she just crashed into was the exact opposite, in a bad way indeed. The brunette, Yui Funami, was notoriously well-known in the school due to her bad habits of skipping class, talking back to teachers, and ignoring every kind of scold that she receives. Due to those reasons, she was labelled a delinquent by almost every in school. With the addition of being cold and arrogant, she was feared by not only the students in the class, but also by her senpais and kouhais, too.

"Ah, s-sorry. It's my bad!"

Kyouko said 'sorry', trying her best to sound genuinely as an attempt to cool down the situation. In fact, Yui was the one at fault. But then, Kyouko just transferred to this school, so it was natural that she didn't want to have any enemies. In spite that she was a new girl, she heard about Yui as well. That made her cautious even more than she needed to be. The brunette glance Kyouko for a short moment more. That was when...

"Eh? You are...?"

"I-I'm Toshino Kyouko. Please to meet you."

Yui widened her eyes in extreme surprise, but then closed them lightly. A short moment pass, and the delinquent's eyes opened. The cold glare disappeared, as it was replaced by a strangely sad expression, the kind of face that even you would feel like crying when you see it. A mix of sadness, disappointment and somehow, dreamy. That face shocked Kyouko to her very own core, as she asked, seemingly concerned.

"Ano... Is everything alright?"

"Tsk. I'm fine. Sorry for blaming you."

Despite her own face, Yui answered curtly and walked away, making people around gasped in astonishment. Of course, it was a strange scene for everyone, as they thought that the transfer student was dead for sure. The blonde, however, just stand idly as she slowly became obsessed with Yui's face. For god know reasons, Kyouko couldn't but feeling that she had met the brunette before. The weird emotion that bubbled inside her head quickly transform into a headache as images flash through her mind, images that she had never seen before. Or at least she thought so. Taking a minute to calm herself, the school bell brought her back to reality immediately as she began to sprint towards her classroom. She was just in time for the teacher introduction. But as she walked into the classroom.

"Tsk. You again?"

A familiar voice could be heard before she had a chance to introduce herself. Looking to search for the person that just spoke, only to her surprise, it was Yui. The girl's expression from before could no longer be found as she roughly clicked her tongue. The teacher asked, raising her voice a little.

"Funami-san, are you familiar with her?"

It was no more than a question to satisfy a person's curiosity, but it struck the brunette like a storm. The girl's face contorted a little, although it was unknown if pain or anger was the reason. Yui was obviously annoyed. She stood up, walking out out of the classroom in a ignorant manner, whispering to herself.

"Why should I know someone like her?"

And with that and no more care about the world, she left the classroom, and of course the teacher made no attempt to stop her. The teachers of this school had already getting used to this. The brunette who was labelled delinquent skip class much more than you would ever imagine, but still managed to pass her exams every time. That was why nobody was bothered to actually scold her anymore, as she would just casually ignore it. The teacher sighed exhaustively and continued:

"Please don't mind that. Alright, please introduce yourself."

"I-I'm Toshino Kyouko. I just transferred here. Please treat me well!"

The blonde stuttered a little bit in the first words, but still managed to finish her very common and simple self-introduction. With that, the teacher was satisfied as she showed the new student to her seats and started the lesson. However, the Algebra wasn't that interesting to steal Kyouko's attention away from the mysterious girl. Every time she heard that voice, she felt that strange feeling. A kind of content, peaceful feeling that she didn't remember feeling before. Something compelled Kyouko to find out more about the strange delinquent - Yui, if her memories serve her right. The blonde heart suddenly ached at the name.

'Definitely not normal...'

As her mind was focused on the girl for the rest of the class, school ended without her noticing. The little shy girl wandered around, only to find herself walking towards the roof. It had became a bad habit of hers, resting on the roof after school. But as she grab the handle of the door that lead outside and twisted it, something unexpected enter her ears.

"Sniff...sniff..."

Someone was crying. Correction, someone was silently crying on the roof. And the voice indeed felt familiar once more. The sound of sniffing provoke Kyouko heart again. She completely opened the door, only to find it was no one else but Yui. The girl was sitting down, tears streaming down her face. The tough and rough delinquent that brought not only fear but curiosity and other kind of feelings to the blonde moments ago was crying, her eyes and cheeks all red. Kyouko wasn't expecting anything like this as she went stiff for a short moment. It seemed like Yui hadn't noticed her yet. For the very first time in life, Kyouko was confused. She never seen anyone but herself crying before as she were a crybaby. She had never needed to comfort anyone before, too, as only others had comforted her. In this kind of situation, she didn't know what to do. She tried to remember how everyone had did it before. And then she cautiously approach Yui, and tried to smile as she reached out and rubbed the brunette head. Surprising, the smile that she tried to force herself didn't seemed forced at all. It came naturally as she touch Yui's soft hair. The pleasant sweet words came without any thinking too, and she said something surprising bold despite her shy nature.

"Don't cry now. I'm here for you."

Kyouko didn't understand why she could said such a thing. To her, Yui was nothing more but a stranger who bumped into her and blamed her for it. But her intuition told her it was something more than just that. Everything was simply reflexive, there wasn't even a single bit of thinking involved. She did it on a whim, one could said so. The sudden comforting words made Yui looked up, and the only words she could mutter was:

"W-Why? Why?"

"Because you're crying."

Simple words can cause amazing effects. Yui stopped her tears at an instant. However, the girl who was labelled a delinquent only seemed more flustered than before.

"But... you said that you don't know me, didn't you?"

"I don't remember knowing you before. But you were crying."

"... I see... You don't remember me at all..."

Kyouko didn't saw that question. But she had no reason to lie. She never met the girl infront of her before. Unless, it was something before "that". Yeah, it must be "that". An event of her life that she was told by others that it happened. She was told that it happened years ago, when she woke up on the white sheet, the smell of disinfectant all around her. As Kyouko had such doubts, she felt a need to ask.

"We met when I was 8 or 9, wasn't it?"

"You remembered it?"

Yui's eye lit up as hope filled her heart. However, the answer from the blonde only served to kill all of it.

"I had an traffic accident when I was ten. When I woke up, I can't remember anything about two years prior to the accident. The doctors said it was partial amnesia. After that, my parents moved away for business. I can't remember anything at all. I'm sorry."

~FLASHBACK~

Kyouko woke up. Her body was aching all over, and her head felt terribly numb, as if something was wrapping around it. The smell of disinfectant made her sneeze a few times. Opening her eyes, she realize she was lying on a hospital bed, inside a hospital room, with bandages around her head.

The doctors said that a car hit her and then ran away. They said she was lucky to not have any serious wounds except for a small skull fracture. But then, she started to realize... She could't remember anything recently. She could recognize herself and her parents. But she couldn't remember anything in two years before. The doctor said it was partial amnesia. They tried their very best, but nothing seemed to make her remember. And then business called, her family had to left the town. Having no choice, she left the place where her dear memories was lost, losing her chance to recover them as well.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"I'm sorry. But I can't remember, no matter how much I tried."

Kyouko's words brought nothing but shock to Yui's mind. The brunette sat dumbfounded, slowly intercepting the words that she just heard.

'Kyouko... traffic accident... amnesia...!?'

A/N: Hey, how was it? I would be like really content if you leave me review ( the word happy will be reserved for another occasion). So please, R&R, 'kay? As for those who really didn't understand anything (that would be rare), here is a short summary for you to catch up.

Kyouko moved away and then transferred back to Nanamori's Senior High. Yui for some reason, became a delinquent and bumped into Kyouko. Kyouko then later found Yui's crying because Kyouko didn't remembered her. That was when Kyouko slipped the information: she was hit by a car and forgot everything about two years before the accident.

^^ I will be waiting without expecting your reviews. Wrote this while listening to My Soul, Your Beats. Does anyone wants an Angel Beat's fanfiction?
