You open your eyes, just to be staring at a ceiling.
"Man... what the heck happened?" You sigh. "That was one real dream, I should just go back to sleep… I'm so tired"
Your eyes close as you roll over in your bed, only to fall on the ground.
"For God's Sake-!" Anger swells in your throat as you notice that you weren't sleeping on your bed; you were sleeping on a desk.
Looking around, it looks like an office. Maybe even a principles office.
Shaking your tiredness off, you fully realize what is all around you. A bunch of people. Awkwardly, you turn around to see a whole group of people in school uniforms staring at you.
'Oh god, how did I manage to end up in a school? I must have been really drunk'…
Standing at the front of the group is a girl with straight pink medium length hair. Her green eyes look friendly but serious and maybe… cold… at the same time.
"I'm Yuri Nakamura." She says, stepping forward and holding out her hand. "Welcome to the Afterlife Battlefront HQ."
Your jaw drops.
'Afterlife Battlefront? Am I really dead?'
The only thing that manages to come out of your mouth is "What."
An orange haired guy walks up beside Yuri from the group.
As you peek around him at the other people, you notice one guy that looks different from all the others. He's wearing a black uniform and hat. His hair is green. As you look at his eyes to see what color they are, you realize that he was staring at you the whole time. His green-yellow eyes stare into yours for just seconds, and then you look away, getting a chill in your spine.
You look back to the orange haired guy
"You're in the afterlife, as said in 'Afterlife Battlefront'" he says. "We're fighting against Angel. Oh yeah, and I'm Otonashi." He smiles at you.
"Yup. We're all dead." Came a voice from the group.
"How shallow-minded." Came another.
Yuri seems to be getting impatient. "Will you join us?" She's still holding her hand out, waiting for you to take it.
You hesitate. "Angel? What's that? I'm seriously dead? This is so messed up!"
"How did you die?" A blue haired boy peeks around Otonashi.
Your eyes widen.
Holy crap it actually did happen…
"A-a car crash. A semi exploded after it hit my car. My name is ________."
A scream comes from outside the room, followed by footsteps and the sound of an electric guitar.
"YEAHHHHH! I heard we have a new SSS member!" A girl kicks down the door. She has a devil tail and long pink hair, she seems kinda, imp-ish. Running up to you, she squeals. You're so kawaii!!"
The blue haired boy grabs the imp girl. "Shut the hell up Yui! Can't you see that Yuri is trying to get _______ to join the SSS?!"
Yui hits the blue haired boy with her guitar. "Why don't YOU stop being annoying Hinata?!"
This whole time you notice a guy with blonde hair and a bandana covering his eyes snapping his fingers and dancing around like a maniac, saying things like "One, two, here we go let's dance!"
'What the hell is wrong with this place?' Your face is twisted into a confused and messed up persona.
Hinata and Yui continued to fight behind Yuri and Otonashi. Yui, hitting the window with her guitar by accident, smashes it and they both fall out of the building.
"How foolish." Says a blue haired girl in the corner of the room.
Yuri, now getting extremely tired of how long this was taking says "Angel disciplines us and forces us to act normal so that we pass over and get reincarnated."
You lick your lips thoughtfully. "So this means that if we don't listen to her we stay in this world forever? This isn't Heaven but neither is it Earth?"
"Correct" Otonashi says.
"So, care to join us?" Yuri hands you a uniform similar to theirs and a gun.
You smile. Everyone in the room seems friendly enough. You have to believe them, since, you did in fact die.
"Sure."
A crazed looking boy with purple hair runs up to you and thrusts his halberd in your face, the pointy tip of it centimetres away from your eye. "And don't you DARE oppose anything Yuri says…" He backs up and leaves the room.
"Don't worry, that's just the dumb ass in our group, Noda. He only listens to Yuri." Otonashi laughs.
"I HEARD THAT!" Came his voice from the hallway, before stomping off.
Otonashi turns around and looks at the group. "This is most of us. The guy dancing there is TK, the girl in the corner there is Shiina, the kid with the black uniform is Naoi, the douche bag with the glasses is Takamatsu, the midget with the glasses is Takeyama, Ooyama is that normal kid, and that big guy is Matsushita.
They all come forward, saying "Hi" and welcoming you. All except for Naoi. Instead, Naoi sits beside Otonashi and looks at him like an excited dog.
You walk up to him.
"…Hey." You hold out your hand to shake his.
He stares at it for a moment, with a mischievous look on his face.
"Hi, _______.
