Sorry it took me so long to update…I was so uninspired for so long to type, then I saw all your wonderful reviews ^^ I moved into my new house so I got my baby back (by baby I mean computer)

Previously on A Lost Heart:

Naoi and Chihiro were set up in a team of two to fight off the shadows haunting the school, scaring the SSS into obliterating.

"What is keeping you from passing on into the next life?" He asked.

TELL HIM THE TRUTH!' She heard her conscience screaming.

"Um, same as you. To help our friends move on!" She lied.

…Naoi turned to more shadows that entered the room.

There was no way both of them were going to make it out of here.

"I love you." She said in a sweet sturdy voice.

…She was not there…She was gone.

"Chihiro!"

It all looked way to familiar, But what was it? Was it the time of day? Was it his brother? Something tickled the back of his brain but he didn't know what.

It was a normal day; Naoi and his brother, Koichi, were playing…except Chihiro was left behind because her aunt wouldn't let her go.

What was it?

The more they walked the more déjà vu he felt.

He had a bad feeling.

The moment he felt Koichi hit his arm and yell tag he knew. It flooded back.

The hot breeze, the slippery grass, the fall, the hill, Koichi's death…

Naoi's tiny head throbbed. He quickly grabbed his twin brother's arm.

They stood there for a second. Naoi felt dizzy. He just stopped them from falling down the hill, From Koichi falling to his death.

Naoi's head hurt worst, more and more came back to him. Even past his brother, even past life itself.

"Naoi?" His brother said in concern.

When Naoi had no reaction and began to sway. His brother began to panic.

Naoi almost fell but his brother caught him.

"Naoi?" Koichi said his name again.

""Koichi? Naoi?" A small girl's voice yelled.

"Chihiro! Go get my dad!" Koichi Yelled at her.

"Chihiro" Naoi Mumbled to himself. There was a new feeling to his best friend's name. He just couldn't remember what.

He black out.

He had a weird dream.

About an after life

A battle front

An angel

A school

And a confession.

Naoi then awoke in his house…with his mother and Koichi over him.

He sat. Feeling different.

He was different. He was five years old, and had a brother today…Unlike before…

God gave the battlefront a 2nd chance.

To live life again.

While his mom and brother asked him a million questions to see if he was alright. There was a knock on the door.

The room fell silent. Koichi jumped up. "I'll get it!" He said running over to the door. He slid open the door and smiled. "Hello! About time you came!" He said to the person at the door, Naoi couldn't see who it was.

"Sorry!" The girl laughed awkwardly. "I-is he alright?" She said. "Yep! Come in!" Said Koichi.

They both walked back in.

And there she was, except five again, just like Naoi was. She's completely innocent and unaware of what happened…and what is going to happen.

"Yay your awake!" She said in her small kindergarten voice.

"Yep!" He said…but truth was he was worried…

For the next couple years, what haunted his night mares every night from that day on… Was the death of Chihiro….And every night…the night mare become more real like.

When the day comes…
What should he do?

He first though he should keep her form going…but then she would never remember…but if he didn't stop her…she will die…

Chihiro's POV

Naoi wasn't answering his phone… and Chihiro was at the entrance to the festival…he was supposed to meet her here…

After the Naoi did not pick up his phone…again… she left a message. "Hey Naoi…I'm at the entrance…wondering if you're here—" Then she saw something familiar…the faces of the people were…really familiar…the smell. The cars. The festival.

Then she saw her

The little girl with the pink balloon

Her head throbbed. She didn't know why she was freaking out.

Her skin ran up the walls, her hair stood on ends. The throbbing became pounding agony and there was a ringing in her ears.

She couldn't hear anything except the ringing then everything was going in slow motion.

She looked around and then realized a car was coming… A bright red car. It was zooming towards…the girl

Her eyes widened

… It all flooded back…the day she died…

She couldn't move. She could have grabbed the girl now…or directed her towards the other direction…but she was to frozen in terror to do it.

Her heart raced what was she going to do…"Move legs…move!" She told herself.

Naoi raced through the crowed. "Chihiro! Chihiro?!" He yelled in panic. It was almost time…He looked at his cell phone time.

He looked around franticly. Then he saw the girl…and he saw Chihiro…she was frozen.

The girl was walking down the street.

Naoi saw the speeding car…and saw Chihiro fixing to move…just like before…except this time Naoi was faster.

He swept up the girl and pushed Chihiro out of the way…He felt the speeding car wiz pass, just inches away from them. He felt The girl and Chihiro shaking. People crowded and the little girl ran to her mother. But Chihiro was still shivering in his arms while they were on the side of the road.

Truth was Naoi was scared to. The people seemed to be crowding in on them like a bird and a worm…. He closed his eyes and held Chihiro closer. It was the same crowd. The same Stupid crowd that came when Chihiro died. "Go away…" He thought…. "Go Away!"

The feeling of re living this moment was killing him. She's alive so why were they there? He recognized all of their faces.

"Okay back up please."

Naoi looked up. It was…Otonashi?

"Back up!" Yelled the snappy voice of the fearless leader Yurippe. Naoi turned his head to see her behind him. Then Kanade was beside them just standing with her arms out like a brick wall.

"O-Otonashi? What are you guys doing here?" Naoi asked in compete disbelief.

Otonashi turned and smiled. "Chihiro told me the story remember?" He said. Then he turned and kept pushing the crowd away.

Naoi looked down at Chihiro. She was gritting her teeth with her eyes squeezed shut covering her ears. She must have been remembering. The paramedics finally came and they pushed through. When they picked up Chihiro and sat her on a gurney she fell into a subconscious state. Her eyes were hazy and she just stared Blankley.

Naoi sat next to her as the paramedics checked them out after 15 or 20 minutes. He turned to Naoi.

"You have a few bad scrapes and you might want to wear a cast on your arm for a day or 2…Chihiro though, she hurt her legs. She can stand but, she can't walk for very long. And a minor head injury, so we're going to put her in a wheel chair so she doesn't move around too much…don't worry all of its temporary…your just lucky you guys aren't dead." He said

Naoi nodded holding back the smirk at the Irony

When the paramedics patched them up. Naoi was allowed to get up and push Chihiro around. So he sat down and waited till she came to. About 10 minutes later she shook her head.

"N-Naoi?" she said in awe. He smiled at her softly. Did she remember?

She smiled and began to tear up. She threw herself into an embrace. "I love you Naoi!" She said sobbing happily. Tears streamed down her face rapidly and Naoi smiled. "I love you too" he said hugging her happily. "And we're alive." He said with a happy sigh.'

Hah I'm pretty sure the next chapter is the last chapter…maybe second to last. Sorry this one was so short I just wanted to introduce you guys to the afterlife ^^…Naoi will be more….Naoi-like in the next chapter. ^^;
