A/N: Yeah yeah, I know that my update is late, but school is taking over! WAHH! But no worries! I'll update eventually. I'm not kind of guy who abandons a story! Even if it was in hiatus, just like my other story in the HTCB section, I'll still continue it! And somehow, this chapter is referenced in Hayate no Gotoku chapter 327.. SOMEHOW! not the whole chapter! Enough babbling. ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Disclaimer: I don't own Angel Beats! If I did, Otonashi has powers! :O
Just so you know that the two people who had their faithful encounter are going in parallel directions. Parallel directions will soon meet at an intersection. Yui and company had a quick left turn while Hinata is currently moving that way. They had crossed paths once again.
"YOU AGAIN?" Both of them said in unison as they saw each others' faces.
To A New Path
Chapter 2
Goodbye Already?
'Crap! Why did I see this creature again? I thought I'm going to my precious home peacefully!' both of them thought, what a coincidence. Both of them quickly turned around for them to prevent seeing each other.
"Ooh~ a friend of yours?" Sekine said, her 'teasing mode' switch was flicked. This made Yui grit her teeth because she remembered the time that they had met, which wasn't that pleasant. This made Sekine more motivated to tease her.
"Hey Irie, let's go now, let's leave Yui and her 'friend' here. We don't want to disturb them, do we?" Sekine said, giving emphasis on the word 'friend'. This made Yui more mad, and now, her face is so red just like a tomato, this caused another misunderstanding.
"Look! Yui-chan is blushing!" Sekine amplified again, bumping Irie as each word left her teasing mouth. This made Yui hold her face and shook her head quickly, she doesn't want to obtain an embarrassing situation with this new 'friend' of hers right? Irie remained oblivious of the the whole situation.
"What? I'm not blushing! I think there isn't any girl who will blush just because of this big moron! He doesn't even know how to look on the direction that he wants to walk! He is a big idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" Yui said, in a crescendo tempo and as loud as a fortissimo. Because of that over exaggerated sentence of Yui's, Hinata was now irritated, who wouldn't be? Yui turned around because she felt the aura of Hinata, it's burning like a forest fire. It wants to eat her up!
Sekine and Irie became scared which made them comply on the thing that Sekine said a while ago, to leave. They had already been gone just right after the start of Hinata's rage. Yui became more angered because her two friends had already left her in the middle of a conflict. But before that...
"Who is the idiot? Huh? Tell me again who is the idiot?" Hinata said with his voice rising greatly in every word that he releases. This had sent shivers down Yui's spine, she could only let out a gulp and spoke up:
"Y-Y-You?" She said, in a questionable way.
"WHAT!" Hinata exclaimed, restraining Yui in an unexplainable manner. Yui kept on struggling, she could vaguely talk but it wasn't that audible. Hinata kept on punishing the trash talker with his hands and feet getting tighter and tighter around the little girl's body. Little did they knew that they had attracted a lot of attention from the other students.
Some students are now laughing and some are taking pictures while staring on the two wrestlers. Hinata was shocked by the sudden attention they had obtained just because of this girl. This was a chance for Yui to escape. When she felt his grip lightening around her, she quickly pushed him, which made him fall face first on the ground. Yui could only give a chuckle just right before she leave the blue haired boy, panting between his breaths, surrounded by people. She went over the limit.
He began to smile cheerfully at the huge amount of people as he tried to stood up, trying to divert their attention away, too bad that his little skirmish wasn't that effective. In fact, it only intensified the attraction that he got from the crowd. He couldn't do anything else so he just pushed the huge crowd of people away and ran away as fast as he could. He is really pissed because of the thing that Yui did to her.
'That moron!' He thought out loud.
Yui is now walking towards home, she wasn't feeling that good not physically, but mentally unstable. She can't believe that she had put every burden on the blue haired senior. She is quite taken aback by the things that are bothering her conscience. Plus, the two of her friends that had abandoned her in the first place...
'That Sekine!' She thought out loud too.
Halfway through her little journey towards home, her body stopped by itself. She can't take it anymore, her conscience is bothering her and it already made her stop dead on her tracks. With that, she quickly walked back to school. She don't mind even if she is going to go home late, she needs to clean her conscience right away.
Even though he is a big moron, even though he is so airheaded and the most of all, she don't know how to treat a girl. I think I shouldn't have done that thing to him. This thoughts ran on Yui's mind as her feet took her towards school. Her pace is getting faster as seconds and minutes passed by. The sun had already set when she arrived at school. It means that everyone was already on their way, or already at their respective homes. But she doesn't seem to care! The feeling of guilt is killing her so the only thing that she'll do is apologize.
As she entered the school proximity, the cold atmosphere had completely took over the situation. The lights are out, the only lights that are making the campus bright are the several lamp posts that was built in every five meters.
Yui began to look around the school campus for her senpai, but her search seems to be ineffective because she had been searching for about 20 minutes, but still to no avail. She could only pout and curse herself mentally.
'Why have you gone back here in the first place Yui? You already knew that he isn't here! There is no way that you can apologize today! Let's just do it tomorrow!' she thought to herself as her body complied and started to walk for the school gate.
"Yui, you're an idiot!" She screamed out loud just right before retiring on her little search for her senpai and completely exited the campus.
The street lights were now lit as the pink haired girl started her journey towards home for the second time around. Her head is facing the ground because of utter guilt. She still can't let go of the thought of being accused by her senpai tomorrow. Of course, she already knew that the blue haired boy would always try and make her pissed but it is not right for her to let him down in such situations.
She is, again, at the halfway of her journey as her phone started to ring. She quickly picked the phone without hesitation, expecting that her mom will be the one who is calling at the other line. She was right at her guess. It was her mom indeed who is calling. Yui pressed the answer button and held the phone up to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Yui-chan, what is taking you so long? Enjoying the first day of school?" Her mom said, at the other line of the phone.
"Well, not really." Yui said, with her voice fading with every word.
"Oh, is that so?" Her mom asked.
"..." no answer.
"Anyway, will you do some shopping for me?" Her mom asked the girl. Yui quickly snapped out of her thoughts just right after her mother emits the little request. She quickly nod her head, even though she knew that her mom wouldn't see that she nodded her head. She replied after the realization that her mother wouldn't see the movement.
"Yes."
"Thanks Yui-chan, you already know what to buy, don't you?"
"Yes."
"See you later." Her mother put down the phone right after she let out of the last sentence. Yui smiled at herself as she put down the phone back to her pocket and held a psyched look on her face. Knowing that she has to do something that worth doing, not like what she did a little earlier.
She walked towards the shopping district, which wasn't that far from her current location. That is one good sign for her to be confident. She giggled slightly at the thought of being confident and walked towards the section where she'll buy the supplies that her mom needed. Her mom always needed the same thing day after day so she had already memorized every single ingridient.
She had finished the task in about thirty minutes or so. When she vacated the shopping district, it is officially night time, around seven in the evening. Yui walked back to her natural route towards their home for the third time. She already knew that she is going to get home soon and rest as soon as possible. She smiled at the thought of getting some rest and started to walk at a faster pace. Her jog quickly stopped when the thought of Hinata strucked to her mind again.
'Is he mad at me?' She thought as her fast pace walk transformed to a slow paced walk. She was quite worried at the blue haired boy.
'What if he was sent to the office of the principal because he was accused because he was spotted 'punishing' me? Or what if he caused a riot with the people around us that afternoon?' Those and some other negative thoughts had entered Yui's mind. She don't want to return back to school again so she decided that she'll check on him tomorrow.
She looked at the pedestrian crossing, the last crossing that she will take before entirely getting home. After the crossing, her home was just fifty meters away, so there would be a little more walk before her rest will be obtained.
The bags swayed as she walked to the crossing. The supplies were quite heavy because of them being in huge quantities. But Yui seems to carry it easily, it's a special ability of hers that she can carry some huge things without a sweat. The crossing isn't that long so she started to look left, then right. Right after her confirming that the street was now safe for crossing, she walked in the white lines which are painted on the streets.
Just right at the middle of her cross, a huge truck appeared at the intersection nearby. It's light emanated through the street where Yui is currently crossing. This made Yui's heart beat raise as fast as it could. She was so nervous that she didn't even notice that she had already let go off of the supplies that she was carrying a while ago. It was all scattered on the street.
All Yui could see was the light that is being released by the huge truck, is it going to end here?
The driver spotted the girl and he quickly pressed the brakes underneath the steering wheel, but, even though that he pressed the brakes. It was too late, there was no way to stop the truck at the right time.
"WAHH!" Yui could only scream as the truck almost closed the distance between them.
Until...
With this huge cliffhanger, will Yui stll survive? Will she able to clear her conscience? Will she able to apologize to her senpai? And most of all...How would she explain to her mother? All you have to do is stay tuned to find out!
