Yo! It's your friendly neighborhood Obliterator! I've finally thought of a better title lol! Half of this was supposed to be part 3 but meh, I've found a way to incorporate it to chapter 2. As promised here is chapter 2! Enjoy :)
"So, are we gonna burst the bubble and tell him about the past?
"No, I want to make him remember everything slowly..."
"What for? Why not tell him now? Don't waste your chance Kanade"
"I know but, I have to win his heart first. Like what he did to me in the afterlife"
"..."
"Say, any news on our friends?"
"So far, I found where Hinata and Yui are. They haven't met yet but believe it or not they're neighbors. I'm actually headed there now."
"Alright. Let me know when you get there."
"I'll give you a call."
"Thanks Yuri, I know I could always count on you."
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure Otonashi-kun will remember us. Bye!"
*bleep*
Tokyo: 8:30 AM
The sun was already shining bright, Kanade awoke from her sleep and got up. "Good morning dear! Here have some breakfast." Her mother greeted her with a smile and kissed both of her cheeks. Her mother is a housewife; always at home taking care of her two daughters. Her father on the other hand is a businessman, a CEO to be exact. Always leaving for work early and gets home pretty late.*thud thud thud* "Onii-chan, good morning!" It was her little sister, a kindergartener. Her little sister is a happy go-lucky kid. Cute, filled with energy and talkative. As usual, Kanade's sister kept talking and talking and talking until they were both brushing their teeth. They are a simple family that live in a extravagant home. They're house is considered to be the second biggest house in their neighborhood (the largest house is owned by Otonashi's family).
Kanade went back to her room, remembering the time she spent with Otonashi in the afterlife. "Should I text him?" she murmured to herself. Kanade sent 3 text messages to Otonashi but he didn't reply. "He must be busy..." she whispered. Feeling tensed, Kanade laid on her bed; thinking of what she should do to make Otonashi remember her...
Tokyo: 2:30 PM
*thud* "Ouch, I fell off my damn bed again. Shit, I overslept."
Otonashi woke up from his long sleep. The young man walked out of his room and went straight to the kitchen to search for food. It was a holiday, though his parents still go to work. It became a habit for Otonashi to slack off during the weekend or holidays. Waking up at 2:30 in the afternoon may seem strange to other people but to him, it was normal. His brother on the other hand is out with his block mates. So pretty much Otonashi is home alone. *bzzt bzzt* "Oh, a text from Kanade"
Hi, I just wanted to check if the number you gave me was correct. Anyways, are you free today? It's a holiday. I'll be at the park so uhm, just text me if you can come okay? Thanks! :)
-Kanade
Otonashi was surprised. The last time a girl asked her out was when her neighbor (who had a crush on him) would depart their neighborhood and live in Germany. Immediately, Otonashi took a bath, brushed his teeth and went straight to the park.
Some random park in Tokyo: 4:45 PM
Hey, It's me Otonashi. I'm at the park right now. You can find me on the bench near the fountain :)
*bzzt bzzt* *gasp* "He's...here!" Kanade searched for the fountain and there he found Otonashi, sitting on the bench. He looked handsome. Otonashi is wearing a navy blue coat with a plain white shirt, jeans, and all white Adidas Superstar that looked brand new and fresh out of the box. The last time Otonashi wore clothes like this was when his father took him to London for the opening of his dad's new restaurant. Normally, Otonashi would wear jeans and search his cabinet for a T-shirt. Whether it's oversized or fitted, he'd still wear it. Kanade walked towards Otonashi and greeted him with a smile. "Hi!" Kanade exclaimed. Otonashi's eyes widened, for Kanade looked beautiful. She was wearing a black summer dress, a white cardigan, and brown shoes. "Y-you look good!" Otonashi said. Kanade nodded and she was blushing. "You wanna go to a place to chill?" Otonashi asked. "Sure, I'll follow you...wherever you go." Hearing those words from Kanade, Otonashi held Kanade's hand and they went straight to the mall.
Walking along the streets of Tokyo, they went to a Ramen house.
"Hey Otonashi, try this spicy tofu." Kanade said. Otonashi tried some and it was literally spicy.
"GAAAHH"! Otonashi yelled. Kanade immediately gave him a glass of water and again, Otonashi saw another vision. This time he saw a blue haired teen and a red haired teen eating the same dish.
"So how was it dude?" asked the red-haired young man
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! IT'S SO HOOOOT!" replied the blue haired teen
Once more Otonashi saw another vision. This time it was the same red haired teen eating the same dish but this time...with a silver haired girl.
"I never knew you liked spicy Tofu" said the young man
"I...like spicy Tofu?" replied the girl
"...Otonashi-kun? Are you okay?"
"Gah! I-I...I'm okay hahaha. It's just the spiciness went my mind go blank" Otonashi replied
Feeling relieved, the two continued to eat and talked about where they should go next.
"Hey Kanade, I'll be right back. I just need to go to the bathroom"
Kanade simply nodded and gave a smile to Otonashi. But Kanade started to worry
"Did he saw another vision?" she thought to herself. Otonashi on the other hand is confused. He ran straight to the restroom and locked himself up.
"What the fuck did I...just saw. That boy, it looked like me. And that girl too, was that Kanade?! Ugh damn it! I don't want to ruin our date!" Otonashi yelled. Tensed, he went to a pharmaceutical and bought Paracetamol. Thinking that if he takes it, he won't see more weird visions.
Returning from the drug store, the two agreed doing some window shopping. Surprisingly, Otonashi bought Kanade a necklace. It was luxurious! A gift a girl would want from a man who's parents are successful. Kanade was shocked. He hugged Otonashi so tight that Otonashi looked like he would see a vision once more. Kanade didn't want Otonashi to see another vision so she immediately let go of Otonashi, which left the young man confused. Kanade wanted to buy something for Otonashi but Otonashi simply said: "Hey, you don't need to buy me a gift. The time you're spending with me is already a gift." said the young man. Kanade blushed, but she thought Otonashi got his memories back. But it was just a wild assumption she thought of since Otonashi's first reaction is he would cry like a baby while screaming "KANADEEEEE!"
Osaka: 5:20 PM
"If I remember correctly, that baseball field is located 3 blocks from here."
Random teen: "Hey come on Hinata! We're gonna be late for the game!"
"So he really is a baseball player huh..."
Yuri Nakamura. For some reason she had memories of her past in the Afterlife, just like Kanade. She doesn't know why but she thinks it's a gift from God, although she formed the SSS to fight against God. She knew that Kanade had fragments of her memories too, that's why she immediately searched for her (since Yuri and the SSS thought that Kanade had a connection with God). Yuri wants to find the members of the SSS, her friends. She still has nightmares of her siblings deaths from her past life but now, she is the only child of her mother and father; which makes her sad to the point that she asked her parents to adopt or conceive a child so she can have a sibling.
"There he is..." Yuri mumbled.
"Hey Hideki, that chick is looking at you. She's hot y'know." yelled one of Hinata's teammates
"Boys...Pfft! I wonder where you can find a decent guy like Otonashi-kun..." Yuri thought to herself.
"Shut it. I don't want to lose my focus. And besides is she really that h-"
Once Hinata saw the face of Yuri he saw a vision, like Otonashi. He saw the same girl talking to a boy that looked like him. The girl was saying he wants to form a group to fight agains't God. He wanted to approach them, but he was interrupted.
"Hey Hinata! Worry about that chick later, we have a game to win." yelled his teammate.
Coming back to his senses, "Strange... That girl looked...familiar. And what the fuck did I...just saw?"
The game was close, but Hinata's team won the game and he was mvp again. "Good job Hinata!" "You really are the best baseball player I've played with man!" After the entire team congratulated him, Hinata said: "We won this as a team. If we didn't work together, we might've lost this one. Always remember guys, teamwork is the key to success! Got it? Alright I'll se you guys next week."
A couple of minutes later...
"LEAVE ME ALONE FUCKING PERVERTS!" Hinata heard a scream, and he saw some of his teammates harassing Yuri.
"TOUCH ME AGAIN I DARE ANY OF YOU, I'LL KI-" *grope*
"RAAAAAGHHH!" Yuri started beating up Hinata's teammates. One by one all of them fell to the ground, bruised, bloodied, and battered. Hinata saw how Yuri manhandled each one of them, and yet again he saw another vision. This time he saw students fighting shadows, and one of them was Yuri and a blue haired teen. "Hey man you alright?" Asked a red-haired teen. "Of course I am man! Are you gay?" replied the blue haired teen. From there, everything went white, and he saw a blue haired teen proposing to a girl, sayingthat"no matter what sickness you have, I'll find you and marry you!" Hinata started to realize that he was the blue haired teen.
"Hey, tha-that's me! I remember it, I remember everything! The SSS, Otonashi, Yuri, and... YUI!"
Hinata finally got back to reality and he saw Yuri standing on top of his battered teammates.
"Yuri!" he exclaimed.
"It's...about time you *pant pant* remembered!" Yuri replied.
Osaka: 7:30 PM
Later on, they went to a convenience store and Yuri explained everything to Hinata.
"So, Kanade and Otonashi have seen each other huh? Hehe that red haired son of a bitch took my advice" Hinata said
"Well, at least I found where you are. Tomorrow I'll help you find Yui..okay?" Yuri replied
"Thanks Yurripe. Say, you can stay by my place tonight."
"Great! That saves me money from finding a hotel."
"But..."
"But what?"
"You have to stay in my room Yurippe! *wink*"
"...Go fuck yourself Hinata. You're lucky we aren't in the afterlife anymore!"
"I-I was just kidding! Hahahaha"
"It's not funny!"
Tokyo: 8:15 PM
"Hey, thanks for today Kanade!" Otonashi exclaimed
"Thank you too but you shouldn't have bought me that necklace" Yuri said
"Oh that? Oh come on Kanade, it's absolutely okay. It's a token of our friendship!" Otonashi replied
"Really?" Kanade felt like she was on Cloud 9. She blushed and hugged Otonashi
"I hope we can see each other often Otonashi-kun..." Kanade added
"Sure, I'm always free during weekends or if I don't have any classes" Otonashi whispers to Kanade
Otonashi waved goodbye to Kanade and he went straight to his house, Kanade did the same thing.
"I'm home!" Otonashi yelled.
"Oh, Yuzuru you're home" said his brother "Where have you been?" he added
"I uh..." but before Otonashi could finish his sentence, "Oh come on lil bro, spit it out. I saw you earlier with a girl" his brother jokingly yelled
"Wha? Sh-she was just a friend!" Otonashi yelled
"Don't worry, I won't be an ass and spy you! I'm actually proud of ya'. Finally going out with babes, hehe." his brother replied
"Don't tell mom and dad! Especially mom!" Otonashi cried to his Nii-san
"Of course I won't haha!" his brother replied whilst tapping Otonashi on the forehead
"Hey Hajime, where's mom and dad anyway?" Otonashi asked
"They're coming home late for the first time in their lives" his bro replied
The brothers simply smiled at each other and Hajime gave tips on Otonashi on dating girls... But Otonashi still felt something strange with Kanade. "She looks familiar. Her name, I swear I've heard it before. And, why am I having weird visions? Have I acquired fortune telling powers? Why...why is this happening?"
Kanade greeted her mother and surprisingly her mom's friends are singing karaoke. Her little sister is asleep so she decided to go to her bedroom. Once Kanade got to her room, she called Yuri.
*ring ring*
"Hello, Yuri?"
"Oh, Kanade hi! I've got some great news, I've met up with Hinata!"
"Oh really? Is he there?" Kanade asked
*passes phone to Hinata* "Kanade, hi!" Hinata yelled on the phone
"Hinata!" Yuri yelled while shedding a tear
"So how'd you get your memories back?" Kanade asked
"Well... I saw Yuri beating up some of my perverted teammates *Yuri screams* Gosh Yuri keep it down! Well anyways yeah once I saw that I had these visions of myself while we were still in the school, then bam! I started to remember everything hehe. So I've heard you've met Otonashi already. Does he remember you already?" Hinata added
"Yes we've met already; but he doesn't remember the past yet. Although I think he sees visions too when he's with me. I don't want to rush things. For now, I must win his heart" Kanade replied
"Oh, okay. Normally that's something Otonashi would say. Apparently, Yui IS NOT here in my neighborhood. Can you believe that? Yuri lied to me and manipulated my feelings *yells at Yuri* *SLAM!"
"H-Hello? Hinata?" Kanade started to wonder what happened
Yuri answered "Kanade! Apparently Hinata slammed his head on the desk and he..."
"DIED?!" Kanade yelled
"No you silly, he got KO'd. Anyways as he was saying, my info was wrong though. Yui's not from here. We're coming back to Tokyo later. I've recently checked a phone-book and Yui's family lives in Southern Tokyo." Yuri replied
"Oh that's wonderful! But... Hinata's from Osaka right?" Kanade added
"Not really. He just went back here to visit a couple of friends and family and to play Baseball with perverts" Yuri jokingly replied " He's from Tokyo too" she added
"Well, I guess Hinata and Yui are truly destined to see each other." Kanade said whilst smiling
"Yeah, I guess that's how God wanted it to be for them from the start." replied Yuri
"Give me a heads-up when you get back here okay Yuri?"
"I will Kanade. Let's meet at the park later."
"Okay, bye!"
Today was a good day for Kanade. Going out with Otonashi, Yuri found Hinata, and soon they'll find Yui. She simply smiled, shed a tear and closed her beautiful eyes; Kanade fell asleep...
