Chapter one
"What, You didn't know oni-chan?" The question asked by my beloved little sister.
"Don't know what?" I asked back.
She lets out a sigh "Seriously, she's your friend and you don't know" she pinched her forehead.
"She's moving to Tokyo" she continued.
"So... Should I care?" I inquire.
"You should"
"Okay, why did she move to Tokyo?"
"It's her parents job remember" She gave me a scowl while saying that.
"I get it, now get out of my room Komachi"
She shuts my door, I continued studying for the entrance exam to Soubu high school. I have chosen that prestigious school because there will be no 'acquaintance' from my junior high, they were academically average dare I say. Most of them had gone to Kaihin Sogou high school or North high.
It's been almost one year since she moved here, and she moved again without informing.
I shouldn't think much, why should I care. It's the nineties[1, the industrial revolution has made jobs harder and traditional jobs abandoned, of course her parents would move here and there.
.

.
I got accepted, but.
As if bad luck struck me down again, I got into an accident on the first day of school. Getting wrecked by a speeding limousine while saving a dog, and I have to be hospitalised for one week, and then after i got healed my family decided to move to Tokyo.
I haven't even gotten inside the school and now I'm transferring to another school, how funny. They must be talking rumours about me being a delinquent again, do you like it God?.
Now, it's my first day at another school, now what was the school name? Just High School, I'm not kidding. Naming a high school High School is pretty genius.
Standing at the gate, a hot sensation flowed through my throat, I feel nervous at my first day. Don't worry, just act like a bystander and I'll be fine.
I heard from mother that this was a girl's only school back then, and you can still see that now by the ratio of the boys and the girls. For the uniforms, the boys wear gakuran, and the girls wears red coloured seifuku.
Pretty basic school in my opinion.
Pray that I have peace. (Nah I'll be praying for your downfall instead - BruhManImSchewpid)
I'm now standing infront of my classroom door waiting for my teacher to call me. Class 1-3 huh, using a number instead of alphabet, it can get confusing if you entered the wrong class. Like for instance, your class is 3-1 and you entered 1-3. No maybe I'm wrong, who could be stupid like that?.
"Man, we're having another transfer student?" The voice resounding inside the class, I guess I got the right class. Wait, they said another transfer student?
"Hikigaya-san" Hearing that, I slid open the door, walking infront of the class to the teacher, Tanizaki Yukari. An English teacher.
"Introduce yourself to the class now"
"Okay, sensei"
I feel nervous, I glanced around the classroom.
I gulped my throat and opened my mouth "m- my name's Hikigaya Hachiman, I'm from Chiba, Nice to meet you all"
Yukari-Sensei pointed to the seat on left end of the class, next to another door "Okay, Hikigaya-kun now sit on the back there"
The class goes on as usual, the lesson was pretty easy considering I stay up studying all night for that school's entrance exam, but got transferred here instead.
Later someone opened the door, everyone turned their attention to the door.
A student. Girl, neck length black hair styled like a saw "Oh no, Yukari-chan is already here!" she said, "Which means im late! Ah nooo!" there's happiness in her voice, what the hell.
"Sensei!, as punishment for being late I'm going to stand on the hallway!!" She a masochist or something?. She shuts the door.
"I don't really care, you know" Sensei said.
"I always wanted to try this, in this day and age you're still told to stand on the corridor. Alright, I will break the record or anything that will surprise them all!" she says with much enthusiasm, standing outside with two full water bucket in both hands.
.
.
.
Twenty minutes later, she falls on the floor. Causing ruckus.
No one seems to care, not even the teacher.
Tomorrow seems to be a good day.
.
.
.
No one approached me on lunch, maybe because of my eyes, but that girl did recognise me, she didn't kow who i was, she kept asking me who I was, and I introduced myself to her. Now I know her name is Takino Tomo. For some reason, she called me Chiba-chan, what a weird nickname, but it was better than hikitani or hikifroggy, and 'somehow' my lovely 'classmates' started calling me that. Even they have forgotten my given family names.
.
.
.
-Tomorrow-
I hope this day would be better too, don't get your hopes high up Hachiman.
"Ta-da!" the girl exclaims, "Challenging chiyo-chan in school" she said with one hand on her waist and the other upwards, and she does wierd karate moves after that.
"I think that's not possible" the girl wearing eyeglass said.
Mihama Chiyo, the child prodigy, I heard she was ten years old, and she skipped grades. Amazing for someone her age. When I was her age I would play with my friends, oh wait I don't have friends, except her. God I sound like an old man.
.
.
.
At English lesson.
Yukari-Sensei asked Chiyo-chan what is the answer on the book.
"Ummm..., I don't know" Chiyo-chan answered. Sensei nodded.
Seconds later come Takino intruded "ME!"
Sensei surprised "hmm? So, Takino-San"
"I too don't know!" she proudly said.
She turned to Chiyo-chan "Chiyo-chan, with these we've draw, Yay" with thumbs up.
She's so energetic, I must say.
At lunch, she got back faster like ten seconds with her friends food, even they were surprised, she asked them how fast the time she returned, but sadly, her Megane friend didn't count.
Now it's Physical Education class and she challenged another student, a popular athletic girl, Sakaki-san, didn't know what her full name is.
She lost. However, she argued that she was a runner up.
.
.
.
One week later at school, I changed my mind. This school seems fun, And I got my first friend. Goto Endo [2, a pretty good guy at speaking English.
"Etto, we've got another transfer student this time" Sensei announced.
"What?" "Again?" "What's their age?" "where did they come from?" Are all questions throwed by the students.
"The new soldiers that will join us are an osakan" teacher said her hands in the air "I got a bit of a hard time when meeting her" she continued and winked, much to everyone's dismay.
"Comes from Osaka?" Takino asked, standing from her chair, both her hands on her table.
"When you think about Osaka, you must be thinking about that place and many things there right?" She wondered.
"She's a Rival!" She stands up from her seat.
"Maybe she was equipped with an 'inside power', Yomi, do your surprise attack to me?" she said to the Megane girl which her name was Yomi.
"What?" Yomi asked, "Come on" Takino persistent.
Yomi brought her right hand to Takino's chest "Eat this" Yomi said.
Takino jumped back for dramatic effects and also making the class more messy.
She sit on top of the mess that is tables and chairs on the floor "I hope there will be a big disaster like that?" She asked.
"Why?" Yomi asked back.

Ayumu Kasuga, the name written on the board. I rubbed my eyes to check if I'm reading it wrong, but the writing is still the same. Coincidence? I think not.
"Alright, now that we've cleared everything" Sensei said "I will introduce her to you all" she continued.
"Kasuga-san" sensei called her in.
The door slid open with her walking in.
The way she walked was something else, not stupid nor elegant, but I swear I can see the sparkles on her face, it's as if she's a deity of some sort.
"Okay, introduce yourself" sensei said.
"Yes, sensei" Ayumu answered. "My name is Kasuga Ayumu, I'm from Osaka, and I moved here from Chiba. Nice to meet you all"
There were whispers from the students about where she moved from, they started questioning why from Chiba?, and I feel some attention started to head towards my way. Stop it with that unnecessary attention please.
Just act normal and they'll suspect nothing, I thought while keeping a straight poker face.
"No, no, don't be like that" sensei cut her off. "You don't need to be so formal, you know?" Ayumu looking confused at what sensei said.
"You can just say, Nice to meet yew 'uns!"
"eh, but... but, even in Osaka, I..."
"Come on" Sensei persuaded her, oi Sensei what are you doing?.
She seemed hesitant at first but then decided to follow along, "nice to meet yew 'uns..." nervousness in her voice.
She looked around the classroom, and her gaze fell onto me, I could see that she was surprised, but didn't let it slide, we share our glance at each other, she looked the other way around and i do the same. An action that didn't got unnoticed by everyone around, much to our ignorance.
Fate seems to brought me back to her again. Oh well, not that I seem to think much.
After all, the Ayumu that i know, is much different.

Bonus - Peach coloured confusion. (Yuigahama perspective)
It's been two weeks since the car crash, Hiratsuka-Sensei informed us that he moved to Tokyo. That didn't convince them however, they speead rumors saying that he got into trouble with a teacher. The one who spread them was usually Sagami.
Of course, I didn't believe them, and I come to hate her for that, but don't hate someone for what they was, hate their personality. So, I ended my friendship with her, I don't want to associate myself with her.
My actions are different from what I said earlier, I'm selfish.
After all, he was the one that saved my dog sablè, and I'm grateful for that. He might not remember me, but I always visited him to the hospital every single day in one week, we've talked but it was small talk like 'how are you' and 'the weather is nice'.
I thanked him and started giving him sweets to ease his pain, there was one time I started to hate myself, but he saved me from my hatred. That's why, I'm Thankful for him.
I hope he does not forget about me.
We've known each others name, but I can't seem to even remember his, his name now, who is he?.
All I remember is Hikigo...
Hiki...
Hikki?...
I'm sorry Hikki, I don't even remember your name.
Meanwhile, at another school in Tokyo, a sneeze can be heard in class 1-3, a sneeze so hard it could be compared to a thunderstorm.

End note : thinking about making the monologue even longer.
End note 2 : Adding lore.
End note 3 : Man, this chapter is just loops of Characters asking
End note 4 : One chapter short, another longer, my writing can't be this inconsistent.
[1] If you didn't read 'The Loner and the Osakan' I should say it to you, the time setting is 1999. I don't know what time azumanga daioh was set in, but the manga was released on 1998 to 2000's if I remember it correctly, so I just use that time setting.
[2] In the comics of azumanga daioh, this guy is a character which shows up only once, his name is only Goto, I added Endo at the end, I don't know if that was his first name or last name, so i just leave it to japanese name structure. This character only appeared to read English? As far as I remember.
End note 5 : Lol putting Endo at the end of the character name is convenient.
End note 6 : imagine your childhood friend are the cause of the apocalypse itself in the future, but you didn't know about it. No one knows about it. But you have a romantic comedy going on with her. This 'Cause of the apocalypse' is the first concept of this fanfiction, and Osaka is a perfect character. I tried maybe connecting it with my other fantasy fanfic, but I think it would not work. Maybe I was going to use that scrapped idea later In the future, Maybe.
