Chapter 10: Good news

Hinata was home once again. Their promise to go to Yui was moved ten times already, but he wouldn't let it be changed today. They were going there today and nothing could stop that.

Ring ring

The bell of the door rang. Hinata stood up and walked over to the door. Upon opening it he saw Otonashi. ''Oi, Otonashi, you're first again.''

''Really? I thought I was late.''

''You are late.''

''And as always we're waiting for the girls. Why are they always late!''

''Because they are girls. It's in their nature to be late.''

Suddenly someone appeared. Hinata and Otonashi were both scared but then Hinata saw it was Shiina and he let a sigh of relief. ''It's just you.'' he said.

''Wait... How did you get in?'' he yelled just seconds after that.

''How shallow minded.'' she said before retreating in the shadows.

''That only leaves Yuri to come now.'' Otonashi said

''Otonashi, I just remember. Are you still being followed by that stalking guy, Totsimo Akura?'' Hinata asked.

''Nope, he did just as he said and left me alone. Is there anything to eat by the way, I'm pretty hungry''

''Sure, let me get something.'' Hinata stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

''Let's see if there is anything on the tv.'' Otonashi said while picking up the remote. He turned the tv on and the first thing he saw was an anime about a puppy. Suddenly someone grabbed the remote out of his hands before he could switch the channel. It was Shiina. She sat in front of the tv as if nothing else but the tv existed. Otonashi's spirit got fired up. ''As a man I cannot allow a woman to take the remote from me!'' He thought.

''Wait for the right moment to strike.'' Otonashi prepared himself for a surprise attack.

''Three.''

''Two.''

''One.''

Otonashi suddenly jumped at Shiina trying to grab the remote. Shiina evaded the attack with ease and said: ''How shallow minded.'' before continueing to watch the anime. Hinata who just came back from the kitchen saw Otonashi sulking in a corner and Shiina in front of the tv. ''What happened here?'' he wondered but there was no time to ask because the doorbell rang again. Hinata went to open the door and as expected it was Yuri who was standing there.

''Yuri, you're way too late!'' Hinata yelled at her.

''Just shut up, ok?'' she said with a threathening voice.

''Are you threathening me?''

''Do you want to know?''

Hinata scared by the look on her face quickly said: ''Let's just go already, I want to go today and not tommorow or next week.''

Yuri nodded in agreement. ''Otonashi, Shiina we're going!'' Hinata yelled. Otonashi slowly stood up still sulking about his defeat. Shiina didn't react since she was busy watching the anime.

''Hinata, you can probably leave her behind for now. The only thing they are showing today is that anime. She isn't going to do anything besides watching that.'' Yuri said when she saw that Hinata was going to drag Shiina outside. Hinata let a sigh. ''I guess it's okay then.''

The three of them were walking in the dark street of the stalking fanboy. Otonashi and Hinata started to call this street ''the stalker street'' because of Totsimo Akura who was living here.

''It's just us! Totsimo Akura there is no need to follow us!'' Hinata yelled when he felt the prescence of the obsessed fanboy.

''That's a shame.'' Totsimo Akura said before he went away to stalk another victim.

''What was that about?'' Yuri asked.

''That was a stalker.'' Hinata explained. Yuri didn't seem satisfied with that answer but she didn't ask for more. Soon they reached Yui's house.

''There we go!'' Hinata said while knocking on the door. A few seconds later Yui's mother opened the door. ''Hinata! There you are! We haven't seen you in a while! Oh... and you brought friends! Mizuki will like this!'' She said very happily. Before any of them could say something Hinata was tackeled to the ground by something. ''Good to see you again!'' the something that tackeled Hinata turned out to be a girl with pink hair. ''Wait... I thought she was paralyzed?'' Otonashi asked

''Yeah, she was...'' Hinata said confused.

''Five days ago the doctors found a way to heal me!'' Yui explained. Hinata and Otonashi were giving her congratulations. Yuri took a step backward. This was too familiar, Yui tackling Hinata, everybody being happy. Slowly everything faded away and she blacked out
