First thing I have to say is I love Angel Beats definitely my favorite anime even if it tears at your heart, but maybe that is what I like about it. I also decided to re-watch Angel Beats and it is still just as good the second time through, also just as sad. I'm not a very romantic kind of guy and romance is definitely what I will be focusing on, so if it isn't perfect I can use this as a learning experience. As usual any thing you think should be changed or any pointers please comment I need feedback to get better. Hope you like it.

Chapter 1: Awakened

Knock knock "Ichigo are you in there?" Sitting up in my bed wonder who that is I get up and open the door. There in front of me is a high school student with red hair, he looks as if he is happy to see me. "Do I know you?"

He responds, "Probably not, I'm Otonashi the student council president. You didn't show up to school today so I came to check on you."

"Sorry I've been sleeping all day, guess I was really tired last night."

He looks at me, "Are you sure, you look kind of sick to me?"

I put my hand on my head, "You're probably right my head hurts a little bit, but I don't have a fever."

Otonashi starts walking off, "Tomorrow morning I'll come check on you so be ready, goodnight."

I close the door to my dorm room, he seemed nice but he was definitely hiding something I wonder what. I plop unto my bed, "Even after sleeping all day I'm still tired that sure is weird." My brain sure is a mess I couldn't even recognize the student council president and now that I think about what school am I even attending? Well tomorrow I'm sure my head will be screwed on right. I curl up under the covers and fall asleep almost immediately.

Why am I in a bank didn't I just go to bed, man my brain is everywhere but where it needs to be. A gunshot breaks the quiet of the bank lobby, "Everyone on the ground we're here for the money!" Three men with assorted side arms start binding everyone's hands and feet together and one of them comes up to me. He has his hands full with the rope now is the time to strike. I sweep his legs and quickly removing the gun from his side. I put a round into his chest and take aim at the nearest of the two left firing three rounds hitting him in the stomach, shoulder, and missing the last round.

I'm yanked from the dream to find Otonashi standing over my bed. "How did you get in here!?"

He pulls a bobby pin out of his pocket, "I know some things most people don't. But more important are you all right? You're shaking and look like you just saw a ghost."

I look at my arm Oh God he's right. Why am I shaking this bad? Why does it hurt so much trying to remember?

"Hey Ichigo are you in there? Maybe you should stay here for another day it looks like you're getting worse."

I shake my head, "No, I probably just need some fresh air and food in my stomach."

We exit the dorms, the sun is just coming over the trees, "Otonashi why did you wake me up so early?"

Smiling he says, "Not an early bird I see, well when you get up this early there is no line for food and you get to see the beautiful sunrise every morning."

He is right the sunrise is absolutely stunning shining just over the school. This school why don't I remember anything about it I attend it so why? "Shoot I forgot my wallet you go on ahead of me I'll catch up."

I'm about to take off when Otonashi grabs my shoulder, "Don't worry I got it. I knew you'd forget with how scatter brained you've been lately."

I bow, "Sorry, I'll pay you back when I can think straight."

Otonashi finishes breakfast, "Ichigo I need to talk to you in the student council room when you're done. Its room A-11 if you can't find just ask another student."

I start scarfing down my food, "Hold on just give me a minute." But he keeps on walking leaving me alone. Wonder what he is in a rush for. The cafeteria soon fills with the other students man I now see why he wanted to leave its pretty packed in here.I finish my food and squeeze through the crowd to the exit. I start walking down the hall finding the student council room quickly. Upon opening the door I see a single white flower sitting on the table with the morning sun shining through the windows on the flower.

Otonashi points to a chair, "Please sit."

I take a seat, "What is so important that we need to miss class for you to talk to me about?"

"Ichigo do you know where you are?"I shake my head, "Well you actually aren't at school you're in the afterlife. You don't look that surprised."

Scratching my head, "Well I just get this feeling like I do a bunch of stupid things, but I can't think of one right now."

Leaning back in his chair, "Well that makes my job a little easier, most people I have to show proof that it really is the afterlife. The reason you're here though is you had a terrible life and to move on you must fulfill your strongest wish."

"Great and I have amnesia so this is going to be almost impossible."

"Most people have amnesia when they arrive I even did you just have to wait for your memories to slowly or abruptly return. Until they start returning just attend school like any normal student."

I stand up, "One question, what is my class schedule?" He stands up and opens the door, "Walk around you can just do whatever you feel like."

I walk into the classroom next door and take a seat. The teacher is going on about some physics, but I already know everything that he is talking about I wonder why. If class is going to be this boring I'm going to sleep I close my eyes and fall into a deep slumber.

A bank weird this feels so familiar, hey wait is that me, what is going on here? I watch as I sweep the legs of man grabbing his gun and shooting him. Immediately I shoot one of the other men and point my gun at the last guy. The first guy I shot grabs my leg pulling me to the ground and pinning me. The last guy walks over to me, "This is what you get for being a hero." The gun goes off as I take a bullet to my lower back. "Shots fired, repeat shots fired!" As a dozen cops rush into the bank pointing their guns at the last standing criminal.

I wake up in class wiping the drool from my face, "Have a nice nap Ichigo? Now would you like to explain to the class why you think this class isn't important?"

I stand up and start walking out of the class, "I don't have time for that I got places to be sensei." Now then where can I find Otonashi? I walk next door into the student council room, but nobody is there. I start running around the school looking for my redheaded friend till I hear a the piano is Otonashi writing on his music sheet. "Aren't you just the perfect guy president?"

He turns around, "So you're bored of class already?"

Taking a deep breath, "No, I think I saw … how I died."

"Sit down and tell me everything that happened." I tell him everything that happened in both of my dreams. "Well do you regret dying then?"

Shaking my head, "I was young, but it isn't sad I mean you have to die one day might as well be in a really cool way."

"Well Ichigo since you don't regret dying that means something before then happened to you that caused you to be sent here."

Standing up and laying on the floor, "Well I'll lay here and listen to you play while my memories flow back to me."

Turning back towards the piano, "I'm not that good, so you may not want to stay long." He starts playing a slow beautiful song till about three minutes into the song he stops and writes on his sheet music.

"What are you doing to the sheet music there?"

"I'm writing a song, maybe I should say I'm writing down a song."

"So you're just taking a song you know and putting on the piano, that is probably harder than it sounds, isn't it?"

"Yeah it sure is, but it gives me something to do."

"So what is the name of the song?"

"It doesn't have a name that I know of, but I'm calling it Brave Song. The last student council president used to play it a lot. She was amazing, she had the all the keys to entire song memorized as well as the words to it. I wish she was still here with me."

I stand up and put my hand on his shoulder, "As long as you have memories of her she is always with you and memories never die or fade away."

Otonashi looks at me, "Thanks man, who would have thought that you would be the one to help me out."

My stomach starts growling, "So do you want to get some lunch?"

Otonashi stands up, "Sure. Man I'm going to be out of tickets in no time with you around."

"Hey Otonashi have you ever had the spicy mabo tofu?"

He whispers something under his breath, "Sorry, yeah I have its really good, but it's so spicy you'll breathe fire for the rest of the week."

I smile, "Something that taste good and is that spicy I'll take it!"

"Grab two, I want some too."

"Here you go." I place the steaming plate of fire in front of Otonashi. "Let's eat."

Otonashi takes the first bite and starts crying, "Dude is it that spicy?"

Wiping the tears from his eyes, "No, the tears are from something else, but it is definitely spicy enough to make someone cry."

I take a bite, "Jesus hot, really hot. Man I don't think I have ever had something so spicy yet so good." All throughout lunch we kept on taking a bite then chugging a glass of water till there was nothing left on our plates.

"Ichigo what are you doing for the rest of today?"

"Just walking around exploring the school."

"Good, I don't want to keep telling you how to get everywhere. Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

I start my exploration by checking the area around the school seeing the fields for sports and the woods. I take a quick look in the gymnasium and skip the cafeteria since I know it well now. I figure out what each and every building is for on campus. Then I enter the main school building paying attention to everything where all the different class and club rooms are, what each class is over, and of course the fastest route to the cafeteria.

It's starting to get dark I should head back to the dorms. I start heading down the stairs when a song I recognize starts playing. What song is that it seems so familiar? Who is playing this late I doubt it's Otonashi? I look into the music room at the piano sits a girl playing so elegantly, now I see what Otonahi means by he isn't that good she is on a completely different level.

She plays the piano moving her body with the music. Her long black hair goes down to the mid-back and slightly curls shining as it is hit with the moonlight. The moon seemingly creates a spotlight on her giving the feeling like I'm getting my own personal show. The white dress shirt and khaki skirt sit on her body as if they were made for her to wear and time seems to slow down as I stand in her presence as she plays the rest of the song.

Sorry but my brain is kind of everywhere and wants to do a lot of different stuff so I'll be swapping between my stories every so often causing some chapters to take a while. Thank you for reading, hope you liked it, and I'll try my hardest to get these chapters out quickly but with some quality in them.
