Amane yugi woke up in a strange room. Well, it was only just a room with hospital beds and it was their school infirmary. He wasn't sure why he would end up in such a place.

Amane walked around to see if there was any people around and no one was present. Not until he hears a familiar voice from behind of the curtains.

"Oh, you're finally awake"  a deep and husky voice said.

Being a curious boy, Amane followed where the voice came from. He gently peeped over the curtains and there he saw two familiar figures.

He saw a girl sitting on a bed and beside her is a man, or a teacher perhaps, sitting on a stool. It didn't took long till Amane recognized that it was his best friend, Yashiro Nene, on the bed. However the man was sitting with his back facing Amane and he couldn't familiarize him.

Amane attempted to call out to Yashiro but she didn't even move or flinch at all. Confused on why they couldn't hear him, he walked over to the other side of the bed where he finally sees the face of the man.

Amane let out a small gasp then said 'Tsuchigomori-sensei..?'

However, the two still didn't hear him nor feel his prescence in the room.

"Sensei..the boy from your memories..was that--"

"Honorable no. 7"

The two looked at each other as Amane stood there like a ghost. Yashiro bowed her head a little and fiddled with the blanket that was covering half of her body. Tsuchigomori sighed and smiled weakly.

"Hanako loved to gaze at the stars and the moon. He told me he'll become a science teacher when he gradutes" He started. Even if he was smiling, Amane and Yashiro felt the sadness in his voice.

Yashiro was eagerly listening to him. A spark of pity gleaming in her eyes. Amane, however, did not know who they were talking about or why both of them couldn't hear or see him. Instead, he sat down on the other stool that was next to tsuchigomori.

A second later, the smile on tsuchigomori's face turned into a frown. He rested his head on his left hand and clutched his head.

"He wasn't supposed to..die. He was supposed to become a teacher. That was the future I saw and believed. I still can't believe that brat managed to change it.." whilst trembling, he weakly said, "Amane Yugi...was supposed to live"

After those heartwrecking words, everything started to shatter like glass. At this moment, Panic and confusion came to Amane's mind.

'What's happening?!' He exclaimed. He tried to reach out to the two but he couldn't. It felt like there was a force pulling him away.

'Y-Yashiro! S-Sensei!' He attempted to grab Yashiro's arm, but however he cannot do so.
Instead, he fell into the darkness underneath them.

'Wait..! What do you mean I died..? I'm alive sensei! Yashiro!' He screamed as he kept falling and falling. Suddenly, he couldn't see.

Then, he heard a faint voice calling out to him.

"..Amane-kun.."

..Huh?

"..Hey..! Amane-kun..!"

Yashiro?

Suddenly, Amane saw a bright light then he slowly opened his eyes..

"Amane-Kun! Are you even listening to me?"

Amane jolted awake, slowly rubbing his eyes as he turned to look at Yashiro, who was standing next to him.

"..eh?" He softly said. Yashiro shot him a glare then turned away with a 'Hmph!'

Realizing that he made Yashiro upset, Amane quickly ran to her.

"E-eh Yashiro! Wait a sec!" He exclaimed whilst grabbing her arm, preventing her to leave classroom.

"I've had it Amane-kun! You could've just told me you wanted to sleep instead of completely ignoring what I kept saying the whole time!" Yashiro angrily said. She swapped Amane's hand away and turned to leave again.

Amane then thought that his explaining wouldn't stop her from leaving so he thought of a better idea.

Suddenly, two arms wrapped around Yashiro and she immediately stopped walking. Holding her close, Amane whispered, "Im sorry Yashiro..Sorry if I slept on you. Promise! I'll listen to you this time for sure!"

Then a moment of silence ensued. Amane was starting to think that Yashiro's functions stopped for a whole minute there.

"Amane-kun.." Yashiro whispered.

Unexpectedly, Yashiro then headbutts Amane and it hit him directly at his face. He lets out a painful groan and falls on the floor.

"Ow..! What was that for?!"

Yashiro faced him and pouted. "You deserve it!"

"I said I would listen to you didn't I? You didn't have to headbutt me!" Amane exclaimed while rubbing his jaw that got hit by Yashiro's thick head.

"Nevermind what I've said! You wouldn't agree..anyway..!" Yashiro stammered then looks away.

"Well, what do you want to ask me for?"

Kneeling down to match their heights, Yashiro avoided Amane's eyes and fiddled with her skirt.

"I.." she softly spoke. "I wanted to ask you out--"

Before she could finish, Amane suddenly cuts her off with, "on a date? How romantic of you Yashiro!"

Again, Yashiro frowns and pinches Amane's ear this time.

"Could you atleast let me finish?!"

"Ow,ow, okay..! I'm sorry..!" Amane painfully laughed.

"I wanted to ask you out later tonight. You like stars right? Minamoto-kun invited me to come to Mitsuba's star gazing even later and I was wondering if you would want to go"

Flustered, Yashiro stood up and turned away again. "B-but that doesn't matter now. I know you're busy with studying and tsuchigomori-sensei told me you were staying because--"

"I'll go with you"

Yashiro turned again to face Amane, who was smiling endearly. Yashiro felt her heart skip a beat.

"Really?!" Yashiro exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course! Afterall, that's what best friends are for, right?" Amane smiled back.

The two ended up going to the event.
