(A/N) Hi! Welcome to my story! This is my first story on this account! Basically this was supposed to be a one-shot but after much thinking, I decided this story is probably worth writing multiple chapters for! Basically, it's an AU where Ayumi does not decline the invitation to go to the Karaoke Bar with Yoshiki. Anyway, hope you enjoy the first chapter of this story!

Chapter 1

It was 8:30 at night and the streets of Japan were crowded as usual. Amongst the crowd was a bleach-blond boy by the name of Yoshiki Kishinuma, he was strolling along the sidewalk, absorbed in his own thoughts.

He was thinking about a special blue-haired girl by the name of Ayumi Shinozaki. Ayumi was so special since she managed to break through his ice cold barrier of a personality by only lying to a teacher for him. Soon, Yoshiki got hooked on the short, blue-haired girl who changed his life and possibly stopped from taking suicide even though he never thought about it.

Then, as if on cue, the blond saw his dream girl through the window of small convenience store. He had a mental debate on whether or not he should go in and say 'hi' or just keep on walking. Finally, he decided to just go in and talk to her like he did at school. He presumed it wasn't going to be any different talking to her in public than in school but still had a feeling that Ayumi would get mad at him.

He entered the store and saw Ayumi standing by the printer. Yoshiki saw her drop her quarter and with his quick reflexes, he swooped down and grabbed it before she could even react.

"Kishinuma!" Ayumi had a surprised look on her face but quickly replaced the expression with a small smile. The girl wondered whether Yoshiki had brought Satoshi with him but there was no sound or sight of him when she looked over Yoshiki's broad shoulder.

Yoshiki saw that Ayumi was looking for Satoshi and got a little mad. "I didn't bring Mochida with me."

"Oh..." Ayumi was surprised by the harshness in his words and disappointed since Satoshi wasn't with him.

Yoshiki noticed that the Karaoke Bar across the street was still open and decided to test his chances on Ayumi. He did take into notice that he would sound a bit bipolar asking her out after getting slightly mad at her but, nonetheless, he went for it.

"Hey... The Karaoke Bar over there is still open.. Do you wanna come?" Yoshiki's heart was racing, scared of Ayumi's reaction.

Ayumi's first instinct was to say 'no' since it was a school night though she did realize that she was being exceptionally harsh towards Yoshiki but that was only because of the cultural festival. The blunette quickly decided that it would be fair to just go so that Yoshiki would at least get a chance to hang out with her without her yelling at him. Although, she wished Satoshi was with him

"Sure...But we shouldn't stay out too late...School, remember?"

"Okay, just finish up and we'll go." Yoshiki's felt like a big weight had been lifted though he still had little bit of pressure on him. He finally got the courage to just ask her to hang out as friends.

"Sure...But we shouldn't stay out too late. We have school tomorrow.."

Yoshiki let go of a breath that he didn't even know he was holding and felt of sudden rush of relief inside of him. He was honestly really surprised that Ayumi had said 'yes' but inside he was thankful that cold, hard rejection didn't come his way.

"Then, just print your things and lets go." Yoshiki gave her a small smile that surprisingly made Ayumi tingle inside.

Ayumi nodded as she pushed the quarter through the slot and recieved a piece of paper with the outline of a doll on it.

"What's that?" Yoshiki presumed it was just some sort of charm that she knew about due to her occultistic interests.

"It's a charm that will keep us all friends, it's the Sachiko Ever After charm!" The spark in Ayumi's eyes were familiar to Yoshiki since he had witnessed her like this on multiple occasions.

"Okay, should we get going?"

"Sure..." Ayumi was still uncomfortable about the fact she was going to be alone with Yoshiki because of her distrust in males. (I recall that Ayumi had a somewhat distrust in males so I was just wondering if someone could please just confirm that it's true in the reviews or just PM me about it!)

The two teenagers walked out of the store and onto the sidewalk. There was an awkward silence between them and they both didn't want to be the one who breaks the ice.


Soon, they had arrived in the Karaoke Bar and sat down at a table together. The awkward silence still lingered like a third wheel on a date.

For a while, all they did was watch people go up on stage and preform a karaoke song and soon, Ayumi had gotten bored. She started thinking about preforming but was against it for some time until she started thinking what Yoshiki would think about her singing if she did go up and sing. What?! Why do I care about what he thinks, the blunette thought.

Her mind was trying to make sense of all of this and her body starting tingling again like it did when Yoshiki smiled at her in the convenience store.

"Um.. You wanna sing with me?" Ayumi's face was tinted with a blush.

Yoshiki was shocked since he thought she would just get angry if he asked her but accepted the invitation.

Ayumi saw the surprised look on Yoshiki's face and was confused. Again, the teenage girl was being completely oblivious to the fact that she ignores Yoshiki most of the time and that Yoshiki was in love with her.\

"Okay, if you're sure..." Yoshiki said, blushing a tiny bit.

"I have one duet song in mind..." Ayumi was having cold sweats since it was a love song but he didn't need to know that until they actually sang the song.

(A/N) And that's it! Sorry for the short chapter but I kind of wanted to end it there since it seemed like Ayumi was really getting into this Karaoke thing, right? Please R & R and also I want to do a Corpse Party: Truth or Dare story since well.. It just seems like so much fun! So please just submit a few truth or dares with you! I will start working on the first chapter as soon as this one is uploaded! Okay, bye!
