Hello everyone! Okay, for those who have read my Clannad story, I apologize that I haven't uploaded any more chapters. You see, I'm on vacation and I left all my writing material at home. So sorry. T-T
But don't be sad. I thought that maybe I would make it up with uploading a new story. It has Angel Beats in it, so I hope you guys like that anime. (It's so awesome for those who haven't yet seen it)
Anyway, I hope I'm forgiven and I will continue with my Clannad story once I go back home. I promise. For now, enjoy this new story of mine. Enjoy! ^-^
I don't own Angel Beats.
And this story is told from Hinata's point of view.
Ch. 1
It was late at night. Afterlife Battlefront, no wait, Not Dead Yet Battlefront…no…Barnacle Battlefront? Ugh! I have no idea anymore. But anyway, Battlefront, my group, was out patrolling the Afterlife school, keeping our eyes peeled for Angel, our enemy. One of my team members, Iwasawa and her mates were having their concert in the school's cafeteria, being the diversion of this mission we're in: Operation Tornado. Yeah…it sounds just what it is, a mission where we blow the normal students, also known as NPCs, meal tickets. We're just the bullies of this school, stealing tickets in order for us to eat rather than simply buying tickets. Oh well.
All of us guys, plus Shiina, were outside with guns of all sorts in our hands or swords and whatnot, waiting for Angel to arrive while the girls, Yuri and Iwasawa were inside either singing or monitoring the concert's status. It was a chill operation. No sign of Angel anywhere, and I think the concert had reached it's peak. Well, today's was boring.
"I wonder why Angel hasn't showed up," my partner, Otonashi said as he kneeled on one knee to look over his surroundings.
Before I could respond, I noticed silvery items fall from the sky. That only meant that the mission was over. We were getting our meal tickets without a fight.
"Well, that's a wrap," I said as I stretched, careful not to accidentally pull the trigger on my gun.
"Already?" Otonashi said as he looked up to the falling tickets. He shook his head. "Don't you think it's strange that Angel didn't show at all?" He stood up from his position and dusted himself off.
I shrugged. "She probably had other important stuff to do or she went to bed early. Who knows? As long as none of us had to die, it's all good."
Otonashi frowned, clearly not satisfied. "I guess."
I smiled and patted his shoulder, mentioning to him to gather a handful of meal tickets before leaving our positions. Once we did, we both walked away from the entrance of the cafeteria before the NPCs would see us and began to head over to our Headquarters. But I do have to admit. It was weird for Angel not to show up. She always was here when we did Operation Tornado or any others, but today was different. I wonder what Yuri's feeling right now.
Confused? Frustrated? Neutral? Well, I can say for sure she felt something than neutral.
Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I noticed a figure. I turned around, ready to aim and fire if it was Angel. Otonashi followed my lead.
But it wasn't Angel…
It was a girl with waist length striking pink hair that was tied in two bunches on the sides and brightly lit pink eyes. She was wearing the normal student uniform, the one the NPCs wore, but one of her sleeves, the left one, had a smudge of blood. She was injured, clearly frighten and unsure of herself.
"What the heck is an NPC doing out here? Wasn't everyone in the concert?" Otonashi said, lowering his gun.
He was right. Why would an NPC be out here on her own? Not to mention the injury she had.
"No one shot fire, right?" I said.
"I don't think so," Otonashi said.
"Then something's not right. That NPCs is hurt. None of us would hurt a normal student."
"Maybe she's been-"
But I cut Otonashi off before he could finish. I rushed towards the girl to aid her. As I was reaching her, she froze in fear and covered her face as if I would hurt her. She was terribly horrified. But why?
"Please don't hurt me!" she squealed. "I've already been hurt and-and…I died already! Just please, no more pain!"
I kneeled down to the girl. An NPC wouldn't say something like that, would they? Of course not. So she couldn't be one. She was human.
"Are you okay?" I asked, keeping my gun down to not frighten the girl more than she already was.
The girl stopped shivering and looked up to me with puppy eyes. "N-no…"
"How about I get you some help, okay?" I said as I carefully carried her bridal style. By that time, Otonashi had reached up to us.
"Hinata, what are you doing?" Otonashi asked.
"She's injured. We gotta take her to our Headquarters."
"Is she human?"
"I'm guessing she is."
"But what about Yuri? What would she say about this?"
"I'll cover everything. Yurippe should understand. She does want humans to be recruited into Battlefront. She can't turn this girl back. Come on. Let's go."
With that, Otonashi and I headed towards our Headquarters with an unknown girl in my arms. We needed to cure her and figure out what's going to happened next.
And that's my story. First chapter and still more to come. Please tell me what you think. Thank you. ^-^
