Disclaimer: I don't own Angel Beats! and K-on! if I did, this would really be happening!

When she approached the girl, the cat immediately woke up. She looked up at the concerned Yui and gave her a confused look. Standing up quickly and wiping her body. She looked back at the now confused brown haired guitarist and said"

"Who are you?"

"Wh-Wh-What?"

AfterLife Tea Time!

Chapter 2

Day Game

Yui stared at those cat like eyes of her little kouhai. The thought that the rhythm guitarist of the Houkago Tea Time, who is always being teased of being a cat, the one that had always been tackled by Yui, forgotten her? It's really an unexpected thing to happen.

"What? You can't remember me?" Yui replied, confusion took over and she had let go of the little kitten. Azusa, in return, stood up and dusted herself before looking at the brown haired guitarist. She gave her a rueful look and said,

"I really can't remember you..." Her voice faded, making Yui's face more confused than ever. Yui began to wave her hand in front of Azusa randomly for her to get some grip on the current situation. Yui quickly remembered that when you will come here, your memories might be lost. Just like what Otonashi said, Azusa might had also forgotten her memories.

'But how could she remember everything once more?' Yui asked herself as she stopped the random swaying of arms, and placed a finger onto her chin, thinking deeply for some possible ways for her beloved band member to remember everything.

"Ah!" Yui screamed, a thought had already strucked her mind and she is ready to execute it right away. Her scream had startled the girl with no memories and walked two steps backwards. She had a worried look on her face because of the thought that the girl in front of her might had lost her mind already.

'What does this girl talking about?' Azusa complained to herself. She really didn't want to remember the girl so easily, without any proof or evidence, it's pretty hard to make anyone believe such an idea.

Just before Yui could perform her little plan, they heard a huge, disturbing sound coming from behind. Just like someone who is falling.

Otonashi had been tailing Yui just right ater she left the closed infirmary. He had good sight of her until he got distracted by a huge population of NPCs who had blocked his way. Now, he is wandering aimlessly around the whole school campus just for this girl.

"Why do I have to search for her again?" Otonashi asked himself, using his left hand to form a fist. He had been searching for her for thirty minutes already but there weren't any signs of the unusual visitor.

"You have to search for her because...Gyaah! I'll just stop searching then. I'll let her wander around the campus for her own." Otonashi said as he started to walk towards the opposite direction, which is towards the place where he had met Kanade for the first time, the open field.

Otonashi walked towards the memorable field as memories quikly taken over his head. He could. remember how did he convinced her to do some serious things for him and the battlefront's sake. The time that he had saved her when they went down the guild for the second time around. And lastly, the day that she left him, alone in this never ending high school.

His train of thought was completely cut when he noticed that he had already been tripped on the stairs, which made him crash down the field, face first. Thus, making the sound that Yui and Azusa had heard a while ago. Otonashi came in the wrong time.

"What's that?" Azusa asked as he peeked at the place where the sound came from. Not giving Yui a glance.

"I don't know, let's just check it out!" Yui said cheerfully as she grabbed Azusa's hand in a rough manner, which made her to be pulled in a forced way. She can't really do anything so she had obeyed the command of the guitarist as she let her body move from the flow..

' Maybe, spending time with her might restore her memory.' Yui thought happily as he continued to pull Azusa by the hand. Azusa remained insensitive about the situation as she had let the older band mate of hers to pull her along the open field. As Yui halted, inertia had taken over and Azusa had bumped herself onto the back of Yui. This had attracted the attention of the girl and gave Azusa a heart warming smile.

As Yui looked back on the way she was walking, her eyes turned from the ones which is filled with determination and power, to the ones that is filled with confusion and weakness. She held a surprsied look on her face as she asked the man who is lying face first on the ground.

"OTO-KUN?" She said, completely knowing that the one who is lying down on the ground was no other than Otonashi. He slowly moved right after Yui's exclamation. He stared at the two people who is also doing the same thing onto him.

"Who are you?" Otonashi said, pertaining to Azusa. He really met strangers right after another. He gave himself a deep sigh as he waited for the reply of the Yui's friend.

"A-Azusa... Nakano A-Azusa" Azusa said, in a stuttered tone because she was still shocked by the commotion that was made by Otonashi.

"Oh." Otonashi said, nearly inaudible. He still can't believe that strangers kept on coming right after Kanade disappeared.

'I hope she is the last one...' Otonashi thought hopefully, little did he knew that this girl wasn't the last one that he is going to meet.

"Let me introduce you two to each other in a proper way!" Yui proposed as she looked at the two opposite sides. With a nod she received at both ends, she started to talk.

"Oto-kun, this is Nakano Azusa, she is one of my bandmates and the one who used to tutor me when I don't knoww something about the guitar. Just call he Azu-nyan." This snapped a thought from Azusa's mind. Yui continued to talk right after a dramatic pause. "Azu-nyan, this Oto... Oto..." Yui started to tap her chin continuously as she tried to remember Otonashi's name.

"It's Otonashi! O-TO-NA-SHI!" Otonashi screamed in front of Yui' this made her giggle and walk two steps back, just to be safe.

"Oh yeah' he is Otonashi Yu... Yu...wait, I forgot it again." Yui said, her finger returning to her chin. She started to reminisce for his name again. Otonashi snapped for tthe the second time' this time, he is going to introduce himself to prevent anymore problems in terms of Yui.

"I'm Otonashi Yuzuru, nice to meet you, Nakano." Otonashi said as he extended his arms, aiming for a handshake. Just right before their hands met, Yui spoke up.

"Yeah! I remember now, he is Otonashi Yuzuru. Just call him Oto-kun, Azu-nyan." Yui said as she looked at Azusa with shimmerring eyes.

"Hey! don't give me such nicknames!" Otonashi screamed once more, it seems that he is getting full with all of the things that Yui had done. Even though she didn't meant to piss the afterlife hero. Otonashi looked away as Yui's words and grins pissed him more. He had just ignored the commotion Yui was making. He diverted his attention to the black haired girl as he asked her a question.

"Do you have any memories?" He asked her, trying to be sure. He doesn't want himself asking Yui because there would be another misunderstanding for the two of them for sure. Azusa's face became confused as she tilted it to the right. Otonashi tilted his head towards the left just by instinct. Azusa's confusion was rid when she realized that this acquaintance of hers was right. She could only shook her head in pity of herself.

'Why can't I remember anything? I can see images flying through my mind but it seems that the pictures can't fit together...what shoulld I do?" Azusa asked herself mentally as she rubbed the back of her head focefullly. Otonashi quickly spoken up right after her scratch.

"It seems that you are not a normal NPC" He stated, not caring that the two of them didn't knew anything about the afterlife. He thought that Yui won't speak this time because of the lack of knowledge but he got everything wrong. She quickly spoken right after his tiny statement.

"Oh! NPC! I know that thing!..."

"..."

"..."

"What is an NPC?" Yui finally asked, admitting that she didn't knew anything about the NPC and about this world. All that she knew was that she was already dead. The memory that she had retained just a while ago was still fresh. All of the horrible things that she had spotted on that unlucky and unfateful day was right inside her head. All that she can do is prevent herself from breaking down.

It's Otonashi's turn to speak a long speech.

"NPCs is an acronym for Non-Playable Characters, don't get it wrong, but we aren't in a game. NPCs are the normal people who was attending this school, in an indefinite amount of time. They don't usually have souls because them are the people who had already given up on life." Otonashi explained briefly, he crossed his arms across his chest to add more effect in his rising confidence.

"Why am I he-" Before Azusa can finish he sentence, Otonashi quickly cut her off.

"Why are you here? The answer is simple, you are already dead." Otonashi said bluntly, which made the kitten look alike gasp in surprise,, placing a hand on her mouth to preventt her from screaming. Yui's eyes widened as Otonashi said those words, memories flowed back inside her head in every millisecond that had passed.

'Azu-nyan is already dead...because of me...' Yui can't help but to blame herself for Azusa's death. She promised that she'll bring her to hospital and have both of them cured. But what had she done? She had failed her, there is no way to get out of the mess.

"I'm a-a-already...de-dead?" Azusa stuttered as she recovered her composure. Otonashi could only nod in agreement, he explained the situation even more.

"Well, people comes to the afterlife when they have regrets, regrets that wasn't fulfilled in the real world. You can fulfill those said regrets here for you to pass on. But some people comes here without any memory. Just like you and me. I had also came here without any memory. Good thing that there was a good friend of mine that had helped me to recover them." Right after he mentioned his 'friend', which is Naoi, silence engulfed the whole scene. Yui was still under her own spell while Azusa was paying full attention to Otonashi's explanation.

"Some people said that people who can't remember anything here might have bumped their head when they were caught in an accident." Another long dramatic pause, The 'some people' Otonashi was talking about was actually Kanade. She said the same thing to him when he came here in the afterlife school.

"I see..." Azusa said in contentment. She did accept the fact that she was dead, but there was still a missing fragment from her mind. The memory from the other world. That's the one that she really wanted to know.

"But, are there any ways for you to prove it to me...that I'm already dead?" Azusa asked, her eyes was full of hope. Yui quickly gasped as she heard the request of the girl. She knew that Otonashi will shoot her too. Just like what he had done to her. She saw him nod and pull out his gun from his waist. This made Azusa take some steps backwards because of fear. Otonashi spoke up.

"I'll prove it to you that you can't die here. Just like what I had done for this girl on the side to believe me." Otonashi spoke up, his mood quickly changing. Yui's mind began to swirl because Azusa's life was in danger. Even though she already knew that she can't die. But seeing blood coming out from Azusa for the second time would make her go crazy. She brainstormed for alternative plans to come.

After some time thinking, she had came up with an idea. There is no turning back now as she started to move towards Azusa and Otonashi had full grip within his Colt pistol gun.

"You can't die because you are already dead!" Otonashi screamed as he pressed the trigger. It seems that he had some problems within his own personality since Kanade left him alone. Little did he knew that the bullet didn't reached its destination. In fact, Azusa wasn't hurt at all.

Yui caught the gunshot. This shocked Azusa as she saw blood trailing down from her stomach, where the impact was located. Azusa rushed towards the girl side as some fragments of her memories began to play with the current happenings. The time when Yui fell down that day flashed in her mind. She can't really remember anything other than that. But it seems that the girl she's looking at was someone important to her.

The memories continued to play... The time when she can see the girl asking her something. The time when she was running with her on hand. But still, the pieces won't fit together. She couldn't really remember anything other than that. All that she can do is hold onto her and stare at her eyes, which was closed, she spoked.

"Azu-ny-" She can't finish her sentence as she lost her consciousness. Azusa can't help but yell to the one who did this to someone who didn't do anything.

"What had you done! Why did you shoot her?" Azusa exclaimed as she pointed her finger onto the student council president.

"You said that I have to prove that you are already dead right? You can't die here, you can just experience death but you can't really die." He said as he pointed back with his own finger.

"I see... but still!" She was cut by the command of Otonashi.

"Just bring her to the infirmary!" Otonashi shouted as Azusa moved quickly and tried to lift Yui's body, but to no avail. She continued to try as she did it right after five minutes of retries. She walked slower than a turtle as she took Yui towards the infirmary. Otonashi led the way because she didn't knew where the infirmary was. She sighed as the memory continued to bug her...

"Just who is this girl?" She exclaimed to herself as she strived harder to carry the girl.
