Hello guys it's me again Charlotte~! Sorry for the late update, I was confined in the hospital for about 3 weeks, my asthma attacked again T_T I'm really sorry. This is why I hate summer, so I barely have time for this one. Well, anyways I don't plan to hold this one, neither my other fics so I'll still find a way to do this ^o^

Anyways, here's chapter 3~! Enjoy~! Read and Review!

Yuzuru continued to walk inside the school grounds as Kanade went inside too and disappeared from his sight. He couldn't believe that the girl he's sharing time with is the Student Council President. What's the deal though? Well, he kept on thinking how come he didn't know about it, while walking down the corridors. Okay, aside from not giving any attentions about clubs or co-curricular things. He arrived in his classroom and sighed before entering. He still couldn't believe it, but what's the deal?

"Good morning." He greeted as he entered the room.

"Good morning." His classmates replied to him as they saw him appear in the classroom.

He walked straight to his seat and dumped his bag on the desk and sat down completely. He looked outside, thinking how he can get a conversation with her. Well, she already told him that just give a visit in the student council office, but yet, the embarrassment is still up. Of course, because he's a student who doesn't give a damn about clubs or somewhat similar, so rushing straight in there would be a little bit rude, especially when it's work time.

He sighed.

His homeroom teacher arrived and started the class without a fuss. He decided to set everything on his mind aside for now and think of it later when the morning session is done. Nothing will happen if he keeps on thinking about it though.

~o~O~o~

The morning session has come to an end, and now it is lunch break. He started to walk to the cafeteria to eat lunch. He continued to walk and arrived in the cafeteria to order a plate of Mápó dòufu, the dish that no one dared to ask for. Somehow he thought that it's delicious, even though it's very, very hot and spicy. He ordered one and carried it to a table. He looked on his plate; it really does look scary. He took a spoon of it and tasted it.

"Ugh! Hot!" he urged and reached for his glass of water and cooled his throat off.

He sighed. Why did he ever pick this one while he could've eaten a plate of curry rice instead? He continued to eat this Mápó dòufu, until someone approached him and sat in front of him.

"Well, well, what do we have here…?" A blue-haired guy appeared and sat down on the chair in front of his table. "It's been a long time huh…?"

Yuzuru looked up to him. He's the one he saw yesterday, with a pink-haired girl in the field. He stared at him with a confused look and analyzed his presence. He doesn't know him, but why he seemed to be so familiar?

"Since when Mápó dòufu became your favourite?" he asked again with a grin.

"Wait, do I like Mápó dòufu?" Yuzuru thought to himself. It just happened that he bought this food, because he got a feeling that this food is very delicious yet it turned out to be the opposite when he tasted it, but the aftertaste was very good, that made him satisfied.

"Errrr, have we met before?" he asked to him, with his head tilted diagonally and raised his one eyebrow up. He then remembered his name, Hinata Hideki, as what Kanade said to him. He didn't utter a word or bothered to know if it's and waited for him to acquaint himself.

The blue-haired guy chuckled. That made Yuzuru more confused, making him ask himself, 'Who the hell is he really?' He sighed and continued eating his Mápó dòufu while ignoring the very spicy taste it gives to his tongue.

The blue-haired guy stood up and went forward to him and said, "Okay, you might not know me, but I know much about you, though it's pretty weird…"

Yuzuru raised an eyebrow again. Again, he's seeing weird people from time to time. Yet what can he do about it? Maybe they're really a part of those 'dreams' he had before he met Kanade.

He looked away and scratched the back of his head, trying to hide that he's kinda embarrassed. He then looked at him and asked, "Who are you anyway? And how did you know me?"

The blue-haired guy just smirked and left Yuzuru a confused look again. "What's so funny?" He asked in an annoyed tone. Yes, he got annoyed of him. Of course everyone will be when they're eating. He tried to push the fact in his mind that he's a stranger, but he got a feeling of something that he can't explain, a feeling like he's involved in his 'dreams', yet not sure about it.

"Nothing." The blue-haired guy answered. "I bet you have so many questions to ask, but I don't have the knowledge to answer them all." He then gave him a big grin and a thumb up. "By the way, you're Otonashi-kun right?"

Yuzuru was surprised that he knew his name. He thought of him as a 'stalker'. Wait, why would a guy stalk HIM? Of course that's impossible, and he pushed that fact away from his mind and said, "Yeah, I am. And you're…?"

"Hinata… Hinata Hideki. Nice to meet you, 'again'." He said and offered his hand on him. Yuzuru accepted it as the proof that Kanade was right about him; and ignored the 'again' of him, as a symbol of acquaintance. Yet he got a feeling it's not just an acquaintance, but a 'reacquaintance'. He just shrugged that thought out of his mind and took his hand back and finished eating his Mápó dòufu, which he just realized that his tongue was burned out of it and quickly ran away to get a glass of water which made Hinata laugh.

He got back to his table and apologized to Hinata whom he left suddenly. Hinata just laughed at him, which made Yuzuru laugh too, like they're really getting along with each other.

"Alright, Otonashi-kun. I'll be going back to my class." He said and did a hi-five with him and started walking away. "You'll remember everything as time passes by…"

Yuzuru drank the last glass of water in his hand to cool the heat forming on his tongue and started to walk back to his classroom. He looked at his watch, and it says 12:20pm.

"I still have 40 minutes, I think I'll visit Kanade first." He thought to himself and continued to walk on the corridors. As he's walking, he walked past to a guy with a red bandanna covering his eyes who's dancing at the corner of the corridor right next to where the student council office is.

"1, 2 hey yo, let's dance! Check this out, it's a moonwalk, it's a moonwalk… Head spin!" the guy said as he kept on spinning, doing uncommon movements when Yuzuru passed on him. Yuzuru just ignored him when suddenly images appeared in his mind and that guy is involved in his issues somehow. He looked back to where he was dancing, but his bad luck is somehow on his tail.

He's gone.

"That's pretty weird. Is he a ghost or something?" Yuzuru asks himself while raising his eyebrow again as he looks to where he saw that guy. That's really odd. Every familiar face he sees suddenly disappears in a blink of an eye. Okay, not totally a blink of an eye, but when you took your eyes off from them.

~o~O~o~

At last, he arrived at the student council office. Somehow he didn't encounter anyone of 'them' after that weird dancing guy at the wall. Now, his only problem is how he can talk to her in the student council office. Wait, how can that be a problem? Just knocking on the door and asking if she's inside or busy or not shouldn't be a problem.

Yuzuru tried to knock on the door, but before his hand made contact on it, the door slid open and a green-haired guy with a cap appeared in front of him. His head rose up as he saw Yuzuru at the door, standing (Of course, what else would he be doing?).

"May I help you?" The green-haired guy asked him.

Yuzuru felt an odd feeling again, the feeling that is same with the others he just saw and suddenly disappear in the wind. He just stared at him, and suddenly saw his eyes like it's going red. He looked away from him and said, "Is Kanade—err, the Student Council President here?"

The green-haired guy smiled, leaving Yuzuru a big question in his mind, not because of the smile, because his eyes are green again. He looked down and asked, "And you're…?

"Yuzuru…" He replied quickly. "Otonashi Yuzuru."

The green-haired guy looked up to him in surprise as he heard his name. His eyes widened and his mouth opened. He stepped back inside the room and said, "O-Otonashi-san?"

"Eh?" Yuzuru could all say. There, his suspicions were true. He's the same as the others, but this one looked like he knows him. Yuzuru closed his eyes to think for possible questions to ask. "You know me?" he asked as he opened his eyes and looked away.

"Of course! I-" he was interrupted by a voice inside the room.

"Cut it off, Naoi-kun. Go to the Faculty Room now. I need my signature stamp as soon as possible." A voice of a girl spoke from the room that Yuzuru recognized as Kanade's. Now, his problems are solved and he can have a peaceful talk with her regarding to his encounters of familiar people earlier.

"I'm sorry, I gotta go now. I'll see you next time, Otonashi-san!" Naoi said and ran downstairs.

"Jeez…" Yuzuru sighed and went inside the room.

He saw Kanade doing some paperworks on the table near the window. He walked forward to her and sat on the chair in front of her and said, "Konnichiwa, Kanade."

Kanade raised her head as she heard Yuzuru's voice in front of him. She smiled at him and said, "Konnichiwa, Yuzuru."

Yuzuru looked to what Kanade is doing, and then thought that her work is really tough. Being the student council of this school packs a big responsibility, unlike the other schools which just creates a student council for some other co-curricular activities. Well, comparing those from this school, Tokyo University is a one big hell of a school, and getting in this school is a tough battle.

"Have you eaten your lunch? I brought lunch here for you." he asked her and placed a bento on her table. "I know this is your favourite."

Wait, how did he know that? He didn't expect that his mouth will spill those words out, even though he didn't have any idea about it, yet he didn't spoke anything and remained silent after that.

Kanade just smiled. She didn't expect that Yuzuru will do that for her. 'How sweet he was' she thought to herself.

"Thank you." She said and took the bento and opened it. Her eyes widened as she saw her favourite food inside it, Mápó dòufu. "How did you know that this is my favourite?" She asked as she placed her palms below her chin.

Yuzuru didn't answer quickly. Kanade raised an eyebrow and looked closely to him. He looked away and thought of something that can answer her question. He himself either didn't know how, it just came inside his mind, nothing much.

"Hmm, I just remembered it… from 'somewhere'" all he could reply to her. Memories came rushing inside his mind, where he and Kanade were inside a cafeteria, and eating Mápó dòufu together on a table. A gentle and weak smile appeared on his face as he remembered all of it.

"I see." She replied to him and started eating her favourite food from Yuzuru.

~o~O~o~

*Bell Rings*

"It's time now; I'll see you later, Kanade." Yuzuru said as he stood up from the chair and kissed her cheeks. Kanade blushed and hid her eyes with her hair.

"I'll see you too later." She said as she raised her head up and kissed back to his cheeks.

Yuzuru went outside the door and started to walk back to his classroom. He still couldn't tell how or where he got those memories from the 'familiar people' today, as it's like he's missing something, but he could care less about it. To be honest, there's nothing he could do to care for it.

He walked past to the music club. There, he saw 4 girls, a girl with a long blonde hair down to her back playing a G&L L-2000 bass, a brown-haired girl with a ponytail playing a Fender Jazzmaster electric guitar, a girl with purple hair down to her back playing drums and a girl with chin-length dark pink hair with two locks of hair longer than the rest, extending to her back, whom he saw yesterday; having a rehearsal inside a room, must be rehearsing for their new song, maybe. Memories again came rushing inside his head, seeing them in a cafeteria, on its stairs, performing a live concert. He then smiled at them even though they didn't pay attention at him and he continued walking back to his classroom. And so he thought of something,

'Girls Dead Monster'

~o~O~o~

He arrived back to his classroom at peace. His afternoon session started and went well until dismissal time. He packed up his things and walked to the window. He got this 'walking to the window after classes' as a daily routine to cool him up. He looked outside and saw students packing up their things on the field. And there, he saw again that blue-haired guy, with a pink-haired girl riding on his back. Hinata was his name, if he remembered it clearly. He smiled and walked outside the classroom, wondering if he and that pink-haired girl have some kind of relationship.

He got out of the building and walked to the gates, and there, he saw Kanade again standing on the wall beside the gate. He's now getting embarrassed of himself, letting a girl wait for him in such a place like this. He continued to walk towards her and leaned on the wall beside her and said, "You know, I must've told you, that you do not need to wait for me here…"

"I know, but still, you did come here." She said and smiled at him. Yuzuru blushed in embarrassment.

"Err, let's just go home." He said and grabbed her hand. "Want me to take you home?"

Kanade chuckled at him and said, "You'll still do it even if I say no, so what else I could do?"

Great, she just read his mind, again.

"Yeah, right." All he could reply and started to walk outside the school grounds.

They continued to walk down the streets without talking, probably no topic to talk about, until Yuzuru remembered the music club members who he saw earlier in the school. Maybe she knows something about them.

"Kanade, do you know the members of the Music Club?" He asked her without looking. "They all seem familiar to me."

"Hm?" she replied to him. "Yes, I know them, but I'd give you more details, they're not just a club, but they're a band."

"A band?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow, "What's their band name?"

"It's…. uhh… what was it again…?" she closed her eyes and tried to remember it. She tried to search from the bottom of her consciousness, yet her attempts were futile, and gave her headache instead.

"They're the Girls… D…" she said incompletely. She bit her lips as she tried to say it completely yet she can't.

"Girls Dead Monster?" Yuzuru finished for her.

"Yes! That's it!" Kanade jumped out as she remembered it. It's not like she was surprised and shocked, though. "How'd you know that?"

Yuzuru took a couple of minutes before answering that question. He looked deep in his consciousness and searched for the answers; and there, he found it as he remembered those 'memories' that came rushing inside his mind when he passed through them in their rehearsal.

"I think I saw them before, in a dream too. Pretty weird name though." He said as he stopped with her at the end of the street to wait for the cars to pass down. "They're all familiar to me…" he continued.

Kanade looked from left to right to see if there are any cars coming down. She dragged Yuzuru and crossed the street when she saw that the streets were empty. When they reached the other side, she turned to him and said, "Let's just talk about this when we get to my place."

"Sure thing." He replied even though he didn't know what she meant by that and continued walking to their destination.

~o~O~o~

They reached Kanade's house without any encounters. Kanade stepped forward and turned to him and said, "Good ni-" she was interrupted by her mother running and shouting towards them.

"Good Evening, Mrs. Tachibana." Yuzuru greeted and bowed with respect.

"Oh come on, you don't have to be like that always." Kanzashi said as she tapped his shoulders and he rose up. "Want to come over for dinner?" she then smiled at him.

"Err, I'll call my sister first, in case if she's already home." He replied to her while scratching the back of his head. "I can't have her worrying all night."

"Sure thing, just ring the doorbell if you're coming." Kazanshi said and smiled at him. "Let's go in, Kanade-chan." They went inside the house with Kanade blushing madly, which Yuzuru didn't see. He just missed a great sight from her, probably.

Yuzuru took out his phone from his pocket and dialled her sister's number. He waited couple of seconds before he could hear reply from the phone.

"Hello Onii-chan?" A girl spoke from it.

"Yes, it's me Hatsune. I won't be coming home for dinner tonight. I got an invitation from my friend to have one in their place, so don't bother waiting me okay?" Yuzuru replied to his sister.

"Don't worry Onii-chan, I'll be staying tonight to a friend's house, we need to finish our thesis, so I won't be home too." Hatsune said.

"Alright, take care. Goodnight." Yuzuru replied to her.

"Goodnight too, onii-chan." She said and cut the line.

Great, he's free for the night. Maybe he can have a longer conversation with her tonight. He turned around and pushed the doorbell of the house to call their attention.

After few seconds, Kanzashi went out of the door and approached him at the gates and said, "How was it?"

His reply was a healthy smile. Kanzashi knew what he meant by that and offered him the way inside the house. Yuzuru accepted it and followed her inside the house.

(Inside the house)

"Sorry for intrusion." Yuzuru said as he stepped inside the floors of the house.

Kanzashi chuckled at him which gave Yuzuru a confused look. Now he's wondering what's with Kanade's mom. Or is she really like this, an energetic mother? She looks like an opposite of Kanade; judging by her actions, they really look different.

"You don't have to be so formal, Otonashi-kun." Kanzashi said as she walked to the living room with Yuzuru.

As they're walking, Yuzuru can hear a music coming from the living room. It was such a nice, pleasant music, but has a sad melody. It's like a farewell song, but a happy farewell. As they arrive at the living room, there, he saw Kanade playing the piano. He now found out that she was playing the song which he heard when they're walking towards here, and she's still playing it.

And so the song ended. Yuzuru walked towards her and said, "That was beautiful, what's the name of it?" he asked her.

Kanade jumped out and turned around as she heard him spoke, "Yuzuru? Err…" she rolls her forefingers up and down, thinking about the name of that song. To be honest, she didn't name that song yet.

"I haven't named it yet…" she muttered.

Yuzuru hugged her and patted her head and said, "I see, don't worry, you'll find one soon."

Kanade felt a comforting feeling when she was being hugged. She felt his heartbeat, calming her soul down. She closed her eyes and cherished those moments with him. And a thought came to her mind saying,

'My Soul, Your Beats'

~o~O~o~

"How sweet they are…" Kanzashi thought to herself as she stares at Kanade and Yuzuru in the living room. "They didn't even notice that someone is around them."

She went back to the kitchen and continued to cook their dinner. She glances at them and smiles every time she turns her head towards them. She never saw Kanade this happy before, and she was happy for her too, that she attained her ultimate happiness in life.

~o~O~o~

"By the way Kanade, how much do you know about the Girls Dead Monster?" Yuzuru asked as he sat down on the couch beside Kanade.

"I don't know much about them, I only know their names, as my duty to." She replied to him. "Why do you want to know though?"

Yuzuru thought of something to answer her question. Why does he want to know about them? Will anything change if he learns about them?

"I just thought of something… do they look familiar to you?" Yuzuru asked her.

"I only know their vocalist…" she replied to him. He could tell that she's really disturbed, because her eyes are narrowed down and she was looking from left to right.

"Err, it's okay if you don't wanna talk about it. You looked disturbed…" he said and patted her head.

"…"

"Dinner's ready~!" Kanzashi shouted from the dining room.

Kanade replied to her, "We're coming mom~!"

She stood up and Yuzuru followed her. "You know Yuzuru, that vocalist, I got a weird feeling from her…" she said as she stopped from walking.

"Hm?" Yuzuru raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What is that feeling about her?" he asked her in a worried tone.

She turned to him and asked him while looking down, "Do you remember the first time we met, the song that I was humming?"

'What's with the song she was humming? Is that girl related to it?' Yuzuru thought to himself. He's now having mixed confusion in his head. "Yeah, I remember it, why?"

"She's… she's…-"

"Kanade, Otonashi, dinner is ready! Come here now~!" Kanzashi again shouted from the dining room.

"Let's just talk about this after dinner…" She said and walked to the dining room.

There, you have the chapter 3! I'm sorry again for that! I'm still recovering from my asthma, so I should take a rest from time to time. Don't worry, I won't hold this one, I promise~! If there's something wrong with here, feel free to point out, besides, I'd appreciate it much :D
