Yuuka: I don't really update because I feel like people don't really want to read this, but for people who do, here it is!

Otonashi: -Facepalm-

Kanade: Yuuka owns nothing.

Yurippe's P.O.V.

"Yurippe, I'm terribly sorry."

"Otonashi..." His voice enters my ears and sends a warm pulse throughout my body. A smile forms upon my face.

"I just don't want to think about losing Kanade.. ever.."

"I know, and I'm sorry.." I began to doze off..

"Anyway.. Goodnight, Yuri. You are really tired, sorry to bother you."

"No problem... at all.."

Otonashi's P.O.V.

I laughed a little. She was tired as ever, and passed out on the phone. I listened to her breathe for a bit and I hung up. Hoping she wouldn't wake up. She probably didn't though, because she didn't call back. If she did, I'll ask her tomorrow. I slid my phone into my pocket and gently pulled the door to the side. Seeing Kanade breathe calmly, I walked in and sat next to her. She's so beautiful.. It's like I wouldn't want to wake her up because it would ruin the peacefulness of her slumber. I kissed her forehead and sat down beside her. I watched her and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I awoke to a soft hand gliding ontop of my hair.. Petting me ever so carefully. Looking up to see Kanade in pink pajamas. I told her I remembered my life...My death. Her hand brushed against my cheek, and I told her I have no regrets if the person who took my remains to live actually thanked me. It was you, Kanade. It was you all along. I live only for you. Then you left me.. But I found you, I'll never let you go again...!

"Otonashi!" A familiar voice of a guy shouted. My eyes flew wide open and I jumped a bit.

"Huh..?" I sat up and squinted.

Hinata and Yui were standing besides me.

"You looked like you were having a bad dream.." Yui blinked and placed her hands on her hips concerned.

"No... I dreamt of me and Kanade.." I said softly to them.

"Oh... Well, you must have been reeeaaallllyyy tired, because that isn't Kanade you were sleeping ontop of." Hinata pointed.

I looked and a girl with chocolate hair that brushed her shoulders, and and dark muddy brown eyes. I jumped off of my chair and chuckled nervously. Then scratched the back of my head.

"I-...I am terribly sorryy... haha..."

"No problem, really." She said softly and I started to walk away slowly. "You're Otonashi, right?"

"Oh um... Yeah, why?" I looked back at her.

"Kanade told me all about you." She smiled a little and continued, "I have a talent.. A weird one."

I walked towards her, "what?"

"Kanade is in a coma, her spirit is traveling out of her body. I can talk to her."

"Really?!" I kneeled by her bedside.

"Mhm. Before I had gotten into the hospital, I could talk to spirits. Whether they were in a body or not. Every now and then someone will lose their body and I'll guide them back to their body. I met Kanade yesterday. She was looking for you, and so I told her to take a rest on the bed her body is in before searching for you. She awoke for a bit and asked for you. Her body is still unstable, so her spirit wanders. I couldn't chase after her spirit when she left, because I wasn't allowed to."

My heart sunk, this girl could be the solution to Kanade's awakening...

"Whoa." Hinata commented to her story.

"What's your name?" Yui asked excitedly.

"Hoshino Midori." She smiled.

"So you can help Kanade wake up?" I asked her.

"She's been away for hours, the chances are becoming slimmer by the minute. Plus I can't get out of the hospital yet." Midori answered.

"Thank you..." I began to shed tears.

Midori began to pat my back when she looked up. As if she were a bloodhound, detecting something.

"Someone..w..is...near." She whispered to herself. I caught it only a bit of it, though.

The door opened, and there in front of it was Yurippe. All smiley and happy.

"Hello, everyone..!"

Midori watched her cautiously, observing every step she took, every breath of air she took in...

"What's up?" Yurippe asked.

"There's a girl who can help us get Kanade back." Hinata recapped.

"Oh, great~!" She giggled, "Naoi and everyone else is coming, by the way." She added.

"Really?" I smiled a little. Yurippe's happiness became contagious.

Midori stared at me as if something shocking happened. I didn't notice, though. She gently pulled my ear close to her and whispered,

"What is she to you?"

I turned to look at Midori, who was very concerned about something.

"Kanade?"

She shook her head and pointed to Yurippe. Midori turned to everyone,

"I need to chat with Otonashi alone, please.. sit out for a bit.."

Everyone walked out confusingly.

Yurippe's P.O.V.

I was so happy to finally get everyone together again... Even if Kanade wasn't awake.. Noda doesn't count. Then the new girl grabbed Otonashi by the ear as if she owned him or something! Then she whispered in his ear and pointed at me! What did I do, seriously? She told all of us to get out, which was quite rude. We all walked out anyway and sat on the bench outside the room.

"What's up with her?" I asked.

"Dunno. Midori must have gotten an clue to where Kanade is." Hinata suggested.

"Her attitude is very professional..." Yui added.

I raised an eyebrow. What could they be talking about that we aren't aloud to hear?

We're all practically family...

"I wonder what she said when you walked in..." Hinata thought out loud.

"...She said something?" I looked at him funny.

"Yeah. Something about 'someone something being near,' or something like that.."

Otonashi's P.O.V.

"What is it?" looked into her deep brown eyes.

"...That girl is our connection to Kanade. Once I get out of this hospital I can help you find her." She looked away upsetly.

"Why do you sound upset?"

"Stay away from that girl. Or you'll lose Kanade." She then gave me then told me the others could come back in. I went to get the others, but I still don't understand why she would tell me to stay away from Yurippe. The person who is helping me get through all of this...

Yuuka: That is all for today. x-x For a while...

Otonashi: nuuuuuuuu.

Kanade: Why?

Yuuka: Because I said so. READ AND REVIEW, OR I WON'T UPDATE FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR MORE! D:

Otonashi: She's weird and thinks no one reads her stories. Please R&R to let her know you want more.

Rima: Thanks for reading. Until next time..
