The Eternal Promise...Part 1

Author Notes: Yo it's Mako~ Ok so it's been a really really long time since I've done an Angel Beats related one shot(2 shot) so with the fact that the summer and 4th of July is coming up I figured this would be a great time to do one! Sen and I do not own Angel Beats~

3rd P.O.V

Hey...Kanade? Can I ask you something? Do you remember me?

An annoying sound woke him up. It was a never ending cycle of irritation that blasted through his ears. His mind was fuzzy, still half asleep our hero reached his heavy arm on the contraption.

Smacking it several times until it fell with a hard crash onto the floor. With a sigh of relief he began his descent back into a peaceful slumber. That is of course before the door slammed open. "HEEEEEYYYYYY OTONASHI~" With a startled yell he sat up.

"What the hell is wrong with you Hinata!?" Meet his roommate, with blue hair, a dazzling smile and a masochist edge, he was without a doubt...a chipper idiot. "Hey hey Otonashi why are you still in bed!? I need you~" It was like this almost every morning.

With a roll of his eyes the ginger asked him the usual question. "Are you sure your not hitting on me?" When he first met Hinata in the afterlife, he honestly thought the boy was gay.

How he would always be with him, giving him tips and say things like 'I need you!' But in truth they were great friends and now that they were reincarnated, it became a bit of an inside joke.

It was so weird how he ran into him one day. Another fellow SSS member of the afterlife Yui had Hinata in a choke hold in the grocery store that our hero just so happened to be shopping in.

"NO! For the final time I'm not gay for you. No matter how handsome you may be. Besides I think Yui would kill me if I broke up with her to bunk with my bro." Despite the serious tone he was smiling, matter of fact, both were.

Otonashi stretched, getting rid of some of kinks in his arms and back. "So what do you want Hinata?" His friend sighs, rather disappointed in the still somewhat sleepy guy. "Hello! Today is the 4th of July, and Yurripe wants to meet up for the fireworks show." He ahhed in understanding.

Remembering the date now. It was so odd. When he first lived his life, he and his sister had been born in Japan, now he was reincarnated in America, there were some differences that had unnerved him but...at least he could understand T.K a bit easier...ok not so much, but better than before.

Now snapped to attention at the name of his friend? Ally? Leader? Something along those lines. Yurripe or Yuri was another lost soul in the afterlife, unable to have a peaceful existence after the death of her three siblings.

They all had tragic lives before death, in some way or another, each one suffered, even Otonashi for a time. However he had no account of his life when he arrived. He lost his memories.

When he recovered them, he was determined to help his fellow undead find peace and move on. Leading us to the now where each and every one of them were reborn among the living.

Remembering a certain girl made a blush rise to his cheeks, of course at this point his friend was distracted, unable to see his tinged face. "Otonashi-San! Breakfast is ready~" Naoi Ayato at one point was the vice president of the afterlife school

Back then there were people who died but found no peace that was forced to reside there, and then these animated people like programs they called NPCs. They acted like real people even though they weren't. Crazy but true they had thought Naoi was an NPC in the beginning.

But he was as much of a conflicted saddened soul just like the rest of them. Only it took Yuzuru Otonashi to have him see the light and fix the error of his ways. His life is more lighthearted, despite his career.

Both in the past and present he was a sculptor, and he was very good at it,...in fact since he's returned land of the living and once more began pottery crafting, he's been considered one of the greatest sculptors America has ever known, especially with how young he is.

Scarily enough he is still just as obsessed over the boy. All his achievements and happiness was credited to Otonashi. Much to his twin brother's confusion. The two brothers had run into Otonashi while he was with his sister.

They decided to explore a museum, unaware that the brothers artwork was being displayed there. "Thanks Naoi." Hinata scowled, he and Naoi didn't get along before, and they certainly didn't get along now.

But it was Otonashi's house they were staying in rent free, and both loyally followed his household rules. This including no arguing. The young boy beamed at his savior, loving the praise.

Yuzuru got out of bed, heading to his drawers. "Is my sister up?" Both shook their head, the ginger had to smile. This didn't surprise him, she often slept in. Hatsune Otonashi was a little angel, a sweetheart that had a strong resemblance to her brother.

Tragic still fell the family, as both parents died in an accident, and Hatsune once more became ill. However this gave her brother the same fiery determination to save her, to do what he failed to do in his previous life. Having his memories of the past he was able to skip multiple grades and work on becoming a doctor.

And wasted no time working to make sure his baby sister received the treatment she needed. His roommates were amazed with his stamina. Taking on so many jobs to raise the money for the rent, groceries, utilities as well as his sister's medical equipment.

All of his hard efforts paid off when the doctors allowed her to live with him, with a clean bill of health. She often would get sick, but her cancer was gone and she could live outside of the hospital, free to explore the world that she was only able to dream about.

"Hinata do you mind getting her? I'm sure if you mention the fireworks show tonight she'll bolt right out of bed. Naoi, do you know where I put my glasses?" He was rushing now. Eager to get some food.

While the over eccentric baseball player rushed to get the precious preteen, Naoi helped Yuzuru search. "I think you left them in the living room last night. I remember you took them off after finishing your book."

With a thanks he rushes out, finding them right where his friend told him. They were his reading glasses, seeing how his vision this time around wasn't as good. "Good morning big brother!" He felt a huge weight on his back.

One that caused him to chuckle. "Good morning Hatsune." She was gaining weight, due to her sickness she often had less of an appetite then she should. But that was changing.

"How are you feeling?" He was a worrywort, he won't deny it. "Great~ It's time to eat! Then we go see your friends." She squeals in surprise, as she's lifted onto his back. "Let's go then."

Kanade...I know that it's been so long since we last saw each other but...please hear me out.

Hinata was ambushed by his girlfriend, tackling him to the ground. "Sempai! Hi hi~" He groaned and fought back. Their little wrestling match attracted attention. "God Yui it's too early in the morning for this." The pinkette grinned.

Not listening or not caring as she strangled her boyfriend. "Sigh here we go again. Ah over here guys!" Here comes the rest of the gang. T.K the crazy hippy. Takamatsu the buffy scholar.

Ooyama the self proclaimed master of uselessness, Takeyama the ingenius hacker, Matsushita the 6th rank in Judo, along with Fujimaki, member of the kendo club of his school.

Along with Noda who still likes to randomly carry an oversized ax...just to be jumped by police. In the shadows is Shiina, muttering of the stupidity of her 'friends' Lastly Yurippe was there, her three siblings in tow.

"Yo! It's about time you all made it. Iwasawa told me she is going to be performing at the festival with Girls Dead Monster." Independence day is big in America. People all over the country bust out the food, music and fireworks to cause a major banging party.

People around the overly large group were worried. These young adults looked like trouble, with their loud voices, strange hair colors and switch offs between english and japanese. And one of them actually developed some of the fireworks.

Surprisingly enough it was their somewhat sadistic loudmouthed leader. Some of their friends were hoping that their seats wouldn't go off flying like the Tenshi-Exam operation, so they made double sure to check their chairs, desks, anything that they had that could go sky high.

They certainly don't want to have a 'taste of space flight' again. There won't be a ceiling to stop their descent this time...Much to their displeasure they saw a terrifying grin on the girls face. Takamastu and Hinata hold each other, chills hitting their spines.

Kanade...there's something I need to tell you. Something Important.
