Chapter 1 is up,but sadly it´s pathetically short.

I guess I´m still working on the introduction of the story,but it´s gonna get better,I promise.

No,I mean it,I don´t own Azumanga Daioh...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A screeching of tires woke her from the darkness...the blessed darkness.. A voice right above her yelled something,Ayumu caught the words "driving" and "Yukari".
Somewhere deep inside Ayumu felt she should be scared,but she didn´t remember why and thus,couldn´t care less.

Slowly she focused,there should be some light in all this black...maybe if she opened her eyes?
Hmm,opening her eyes sounded like a good idea.Yeah,lets give it a go.
Uh...how was it again?...focus...focus...

Ah!

Ayumu focused all her energy to a point in the middle of the emptiness and then she tried to raise it upwards.
The darkness refuse to budge...lifting it is like trying to lift a jellyfish...it´s just slips out of your grip...hmm,I wonder what jellyfishes taste like..
Fish or jelly?

"Look,Sakaki!Her eyes are open!"

"Ah..."

"Uhhh...ahh..."

Ayumu lets the thought about jellyfishes slip away and her "dreamvision" goes away and she sees a round face with two big, concerned eyes.
"Hi?"

"Osaka-san!You´re awake!"
The eyes look up from her face and towards something opposite of the girl.
Tears start to fall from them unto Ayumu´s face.

"She´s awake,Sakaki-san!She´s awake."

Ayumu turns her head to look up into the face of a beautiful woman with long black hair.The stern,yet cute look on her face looking strangely familiar.

For the first time she looks at her surroundings. Directly above her is a roof of sorts, white and shiny ,to her sides,behind the two girls she spots red walls with several weird things hanging on them and below her she feels a constant vibration and a low rumble can be heard, emanating from somewhere.

Looking from one girl to the other,she finally asks.

"Where am I?"

With tears in her eyes the girl with the orange hair puts on a serious face, gently places her hands on Ayumu´s arm and explains.

"You´re in an ambulance,you´ve lost alot of blood and you´ve also..." The girl looks away and with a silent voice she mutters.." and you´ve also hit your head pretty bad..."

Ayumu abruptly started chuckling,her breath came out in short bursts of laughter.
The girl above her grabbed her by her shoulders and with those concerned eyes she begged Ayumu.

"Please,don´t move around, your head won´t be able to cope with it."

Ayumu manage to calm down her frantic chuckling and with a dreamy look and a small smirk she looks up at the girl.

"Hehe,you know,I hit my head all the time..." Her eyes seem to grow abit distanced for a second,but just as fast they return to her normal,dreamy look. "Actually I every part of my body´s usually hitting something.It´s probably just a bump like always,let me feel it."

"Uhhmm...ok...but..." Somehow Ayumu found the strength to lift her head and then lift a hand up behind her head.

For some reason the pillow was wet where her head had been.
Not giving it a second thought Ayumu started feeling around her backhead,the girls above her were looking really worried now.
Then she felt that her hair had a very dry and stiff feeling to it,sort of like it had dried blood in it.
Searching around Ayumu found something like the edge of a crack,curious she followed it abit,for several centimeters it stretched.

Then,with a horror it hit her.

Her head had cracked!

Panick gripped her and abruptly she sat up and grabbed the young girl with the concerned eyes.
The girl had no time to react and when she looked into Ayumu´s crased,possessed eyes she stiffened in fright.

"WHAT HAPPENED?WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!"

Suddenly the car twisted and the screeching of brakes could be heard several blocks away.
Whatever Ayumu was sitting on loosened and without warning she skidded towards the door that made up for the wall in front of her.
She didn´t have time to react at all,still hanging unto the younger girl, Ayumu slipped and rolled towards the door.
With a crash her head connected to the metal,Ayumu´s head ricocheted off the door and she flew back unto the makeshift bed and she passed out.

She gently opened her eyes and what she saw was the white sheets that were covering her legs and strecthing all the way over to the steely grid at the end of her bed.Opposite to her feet and all around her was a white-yellowish curtain that reminded her of old,musty things.

Somewhere behind her eyes a dull, constant banging took place and made it feel like her head would rip outwards and collapse at any second. She raised her hands to her head and clutched it,there was a bandage surrounding it,making it feel like it had been shut up in a place too tight.
Stuck in her left arm was a cord,which lead to a bag ,filled with clear liquid, that was suppported on a steel pole lookalike thingie.

There were alot of other cords connected to machines at her sides,machines that glowed with a phenomorphic,green light as numbers and various diagrams were displayed.
Suddenly she became aware of all the noises around her.To both her sides there was the constant beeping of the machines and from somewhere behind the curtain she could her bird singing and the stereotypical stereo of a place buzzing with people.

The girl looked at her left wrist where the cord was plugged...it didn´t feel right to have something stuck inside her..."I don´t want you there."...

And with those words she began tugging at the plug,and with a somehow hidden strength she pulled it right out. Pain stung in her wrist and blood trickled out from the hole.Still,the satisfaction of having removed the alien thing grew in her. She looked at all the other wires and cords and looked at the machines they were attatched to,their inane beeping made her head hurt even more. Maybe they wouldn´t beep as much if she pulled out everything?...She nods to herself and starts pulling.

Some of the machines stopped the beeping at once,but one in particular was now just sounding one long beep.The girl looked at the noisy machine and wished she had something to hit the stupid thing with.She looked around once more,but couldn´t see anything just long or blunt enough.

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP"

"Shut UP!Shut UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP"

The girl yelled in a droning voice for as long as she could muster before she ran out of breath.
She proceeded with trying to reach for it,but it was a couple of feet away,so no could do.
Her arms flailed and what could only be a growl came from somewhere in her throat.
Staring at the thing that was now currently turning her headache into something inbareable, she took another big breath and decided to try to outyell it.

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..."

She was interrupted as the curtain was pulled aside to reveal a man with a white coat,blue shirt with a black tie and brown pants came inside with a flashlight in his hand and some strange strap-on,disc-like, lamp thingie on his head.As he saw the girl sitting up yelling at the machine he couldn´t do anything but simply mope at her..

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPP."

Turning towards her visitor the girl hastily took another breath and with a serious face she yelled at the man instead.
"Can you make that thing quit beeping so damn loud?"
The man in the coat didn´t quite react at first,but eventually he gathered himself,went "Uh...yeah." and stepped up to the machine and pressed some button.

Feeling her headache getting better by the second the girl calmed down and got out a "Thank you" before she closed her eyes, leaned back on her pillows and went to sleep.

Waking up,the girl could feel the light sheets covering her body and she also felt a sting of hunger coming from her body.

Blinking a few times, she slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by a room instead of curtains, however, all over the room,in different positions were several girls,or should she say women?.

One,with a dark tan and spiky brown hair,lay in a simple plastic chair and supported her head on the wall behind it.

Another one was laying with her head in the lap of a girl sitting up by the wall,the girl sitting up had a pair of big spectacles on her nose and long brown hair.The one on her lap was drooling with a silly smile on her face,her hair was black and about shoulder long,but it was hard to tell because she was sleeping on most of it.

On what looked like the only comfortable spot in the room,a little,dark blue couch,there were two girls sprawled.

The one hanging on the right side was a short girl ,that looked a few years younger than everyone else, with an orange,kinda nutty, colour for her hair.She had cut her hair short and only had it neck long,but it looked very nice on her.On the left side, half sitting, half on her back, was the last girl, she had long,black hair that stretched to her thighs and the only thing ruining the whole picture of a sleeping beauty was the imistakable drool in the corner of her mouth.

Everybody was fast asleep and some of them were snoring quite loudly.
The girl in the bed looked around and got quite curious why there were a bunch of girls sleeping in her room.
Then she really looked around for the first time.
"By the way...were am I?"

Then it hit her...

"Who am I?"
