Angel Beats: We now beat as one

A/N: Something i have been working on ever since the anime ended, direct sequel and familiar friends return

We now beat as one, we recollect ourselves and in the end, it's only you whom i was looking for all along, separated by distance and memories we encounter friends and yet even when we just meet, we feel as if we'd known each other for much more time.

How long was it until the entrance exam?, Otonashi Yuzuru wondered, he had to admit, even though he had studied for that exam several times he somehow felt uneasy, he decided to call it a day and went to bed, for the past months he had several dreams, in some he was doing just this, studying for his entrance exam which ironically gave him almost every answer he needed and he knew several things, convenient yet weird, in others he was in a sort of subterranean railway along with other people, and then there were also 'those dreams', he had begun to refer to them as 'those dreams' since the before mentioned dreams seemed to be connected, but 'those dreams' were different, he had seen himself with a gun fighting a slender girl with silver hair and golden eyes alongside several other youths of his same age group, it was at the point in which the sender girl was about to speak or when they refereed to her as 'Angel' and sometimes when they were about to speak her name that he would wake up, annoying he had to admit, having a face but no name to go with it.

The alarm clock sounded, Yuzuru immediately turned it off and was now lost in his train of thought, why was he up this early?.

"Oh that's right, i have to go to the library today for my studies." He said to no one in particular.

He then looked out the window of his apartment window

"I got one of 'those dreams' again today, this time however, it was the one where it seemed to be in a concert of sorts, a girl singing accompanied with an acoustic guitar, and that song, it somehow feels familiar" he thought.

Not wanting to waste more time he got off his bed and began to get ready, the realism of sorts of 'those dreams' was beginning to bug him, almost as if it had been a past life, that couldn't be yet he wasn't about to rule out that answer, it wouldn't seem right, this was taking a chunk out of his concentration and he wasn't so sure of taking the entrance exam to college until he got this out of his chest.

It hadn't been a long train ride and was now making his way to the library, it was sunny outside and was almost noon, he was running a bit late due to his breakfast ordeal, it wasn't very long until he herd some humming coming from a slender girl in a hat with a white dress , he ignored her at first, but then it clicked, that humming was that tune he had heard before in his dreams, he looked back at the girl whom apparently was about to leave, he sure as hell wasn't about to let this opportunity slip and be left with more questions, he wanted answers and he wanted the now.

He caught up to her and just tapping her on the shoulder before he said:

"Kanade"

The girl as if by instinct turned and replied:

"Yuzuru"

Ok this was too much to be a coincidence, for once, how did he know the name of a stranger he'd just met for the first time, and second how did she know his name. Time seemed to stand still as the gazed one another in to each others eyes.

"Do we know each other?" Kanade finally spoke breaking the silence between the two.

"I don't think so, but it feels as if we do, weird huh?".

"Only a little, but i don't know whether to say 'nice to meet you' or 'good to see you again' feels a little of both".

"Same here, i haven't introduce myself yet" he held out his hand "Otonashi Yuzuru"

Kanade then took his hand and replied "Tachibana Kanade" she giggled

"What's so funny?" Otonashi inquired.

"It's just that we ended up introducing each other even dough we know each others name's"

"Guess it was because of the spur of the moment"

"I don't mean to trouble you but could you come with me?"

"Sure, I'm not actually busy or anything"

A/N: Very short i know but next time we will se things from Kanade's POV and it will add on to this chapter, i also plan to include charactes like yurippe hinata yui etc. and they will also find out why they have recollection of their past lives, also excuse any tipo and point it out just in case i missed something.
