Chapter 1: A New Beginning
Instructions for this story to be more enjoyable: When I say a certain theme is on, search it on youtube and play it until it doesn't fit the scene anymore, same for the Clannad After Story Opening and ending, but only if you want to.
My mum and dad died after my little brother did. He had a bad cold and my parents decided to go to the nearby hospital to get advise. My baby brother Minoru was so ill he couldn't go out and if he did he would be face to face to death. So they trusted me with him and left. They never came back. By that time Minoru could barely breath and didn't have the strength to cry. I tried to feed him his warm milk but he would just sick it out. It was terrifying looking after him by myself, I knew I couldn't save him and they weren't going to come back. I thought to myself, "I hate them, they're abandoning me and him, but I can't do it! They have to come back, please god, please! Please, make them come back, please!" Just then I got a phone call, I picked it up, my heart beating. "Two bodies have been found, one female and one male. We believe they live in this household," "You mean… my mum and dad?" I was speechless, no tears came rolling down my cheeks or anything. "I didn't think a child was on the phone! Well you see, mummy and daddy are asleep and…they won't wake up, is there an adult there?"
"No," I said as I slammed the phone down.

Part 2
Suddenly my baby brother started crying. I felt as if my emotions had awakened and started crying as well. Not only had my parents died, but so will Minoru, any minute, especially when he's crying, his fever will go up. Without thinking I brought him to my favourite place, it was where my mother had given birth to me. She always told me how shocked she was when she found out she was giving birth right there and then. There were no ambulances or anything and they hadn't brought a phone so it looked as if she was going to die. My dad told me he was in as much pain as my mum was once she as giving birth, it's painful seeing someone you care about go through with something like that, I was too young to understand. But a miracle happened, my mum made it, I was perfectly healthy, there was nothing wrong. At that moment I had realized that place was magic, so I brought him there. All I did was cry there, begging god that if he really existed then save him.
A day later I had to a foster home, my brother had to live in a hospital for a year. Every now and again the hospital would call us saying how Minoru was doing. However, each time just seemed that his condition was getting worse, then one day they called saying he was probably going to die. I had went to my room, the silence was looming over me, I felt no emotion, no…nothing. It was like my parents dying all over again. I had to die, I knew I had to. I rushed to the bridge, the favourite place that was where I planned to die. But someone was there. A boy, who looked about eleven years old. "I got out of the hospital a long, long time ago," he smiled at me weakly. "Brother thanks for saving me, but because you did that means you'll die," tears fell from his cheek to the wooden planks of the bridge. "You aren't born yet, but you've revived me from the world of nothingness. Though…" More tears dropped onto the ground. "This is me from the future, all the memories I have are of only you, I've just woke up from the other world. The truth is, I've already died, that has happened. I'm going to die if I live anyway," he looked at me and closed his eyes. "So if I don't die you are going to die with me later on, that is what will happen in the future. But I will change that future by dying now, you will forget me and be reborn, you have not been born yet at all, this has not happened, ever, it's almost as if this is a dream that we are both sharing, the truth is, I did not ever exist, because what I am telling you now happened a million years ago, for all we know you do not exist and have already died and faded away, it could be you were a roman soldier, but enough with that, you need to wake up in your cot now…Minoru, my own self,"
Huh, what's going on? I can't remember my brothers name, or mine…what is going on? How do I speak? I can't remember how to even walk, or what the long trunks are in front of me with the green stuff on top. What am I doing? I can't remember anything…
