Chapter 1

Amu POV

"Amu-chan, would you mind taking care of Ami whilst I go to my doctor's appointment?" My mother asked, lifting up her head above all the boxes which surrounded us in our new apartment. The bags under her eyes showed how tired and stressful she felt.

"I guess…" I replied, moving my hands robotically inside the box and then out.

"Arigato Amu-chan! I'll be right back; it should only take me half-an hour or so." She stood up, grabbed her handbag and set off towards the door.

I continued unpacking; I lifted a photo out of the box. It was of me, my dad and my mum while she was still pregnant with Ami. We all looked so happy. Who knew that a month later a terrible car accident would kill my dad. I wiped a tear away. It happened 5 years ago, but still the memory of it was as if it had only happened yesterday.

I was at school, listening to my maths teacher drone on and on about some prime factors. I had been staring out the window, watching the sakura tree sway with the wind, when one of the office ladies rushed into the classroom. The teacher was about to chide her off for not knocking and disrupting the class. She asked to talk to me at the door. That was when she told me, that my dad was in a car accident, that he was at the hospital now having an emergency treatment, and that he might not make it. I had run off to the hospital, the lady following me. I heard Yuki-chan calling out my name, asking what was wrong.

"Onee-chan! I want candy!" Ami shook my arm. "Pwease? Can I?"

I wiped away the rest of my tears and plastered a smile on my face. I need to be strong for Ami's sake at least. She's never seen our dad; he died before she was even born as she was still too small to understand. She still thinks that he is in France for 'business'. "Sure, let's go to the mall across the road Ami."

"Hai!" she saluted and then ran to get her shoes.

"Onee-chan I want that one!" she pointed to a large lollipop in SugarFix (A/N: i don't own) which was nearly as big as her head.

I looked at the price and then shook my head. "Ami, it's too expensive for a lolly. You won't be able to finish it either."

Ami's eyes started to water, "B-but I want that one!"

I sighed, "Fine, buy don't tell mama okay?"

"Yay! Onee-chan is the bwest!" She grabbed the lolly off the stand and then dragged me to the cashier.

"Hello, how are you?" The shop assistant smiled, scanning the lolly. "That would be $17.95 please." I paid her the money and took the lolly, giving it to Ami.

"Awigato onee-chan!"

I smiled at her, "Come on let's go back home now. Mama will be worried if she gets back and sees us gone." I said tiredly.

"Kay!" She replied energetically, holding on to my hand.

We walked towards the exit when I noticed a shop. A few minutes wouldn't matter… "Ne, Ami, let's go to that shop there." I gestured to a clothes shop. Walking in, I noticed many other teenagers there who looked about my age. I went towards the 'girls' section, and immediately a black woollen jacket caught my eye. I found my size and tried it on in front of the mirror. It fit me perfectly. I looked at the price tag and my mood dulled immediately. I was about to say something to Ami when I noticed she wasn't there.

"Ami?" I called, "Ami!" Where did she go. I heard her voice to my right and followed it. Phew… she's still in the shop. She was talking to 3 guys. One had long purple hair which was past his waist and he also had yellow eyes. The one next to him had short, spikey, brown hair and emerald eyes. And the third guy had midnight blue hair and the same coloured eyes, he looked like he was the 'leader' of them. All 3 of them were each holding a few pairs of jeans, t-shirts and jackets. "Rich people…" I muttered, mentally rolling my eyes.

"Onee-chan!" Ami called when she saw me. "See! See, that's my onee-chan, she's going to be one of the most beautiful girl you will ever see!" She pointed me out to the 3 guys.

"Come on Ami, we need to go."

She ignored me; instead she pulled the blue haired guy to me and demanded us to 'talk'.

"Ami-"

The blue haired guy interrupted me, smirking. "You know," he whispered. "That kid didn't lie."

"I-I…A-Ami we're going." I walked away from him and took Ami's hand.

"Hey," he breathed on my neck.

"G-get away, you pervert!" I put my hand where he had breathed on my neck.

"I was just asking if you intended to leave the shop without paying for that jacket. It looks good on you by the way." He smirked again.

Crap I forgot about the jacket! "N-no I was just about to take it off, and it doesn't look good on me." I hastily pulled the jacket off me and put it back on the rack.

"Yo Ikuto! You coming?" the spiky brown haired guy shouted.

"Just a sec!" Ikuto, the blue haired guy, turned around and shouted, then turned back to me.

"C-come on Ami, we're going home mama is going to get worried."

"Oh, you're mummy's little girl are you?" He teased.

"No!"

"Daddy's little girl then?"

"Ami! We're going!"

"You've said that like 4 times now."

"Get lost!"

"Can't, I've been living here my whole life. I know this place like that back of my hand."

"Then go find a hole and crawl in it!"

"Ooh, angry now are we? Did I make daddy's little girl angry?"

"Shut the hell up! You don't know anything about me!" I dragged Ami out of the shop. The nerve of guy. Who the hell goes breathing on someone else's neck? What happened to the 'personal bubble'? And he had to call me 'daddy's little girl' of all things!

"Onee-chan," Ami tugged on my skirt, "Why are you crying?"

"I'm not." I wiped my eyes.

"HEY YOU! DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL! WAIT UP!"

"WHAT?" I stopped and spun around. The blue haired guy was jogging up to us, holding a plastic bag from the shop we were just in.

"Here, this is for you." he handed me the bag.

I took the bag and opened it. The black woollen jacket was inside. "Why did you buy this?"

He shrugged, "I saw that you liked it."

"But why are you giving it to me?"

"Cause I can." He shrugged again, "So…are you new in this town?"

I ignored him.

"Which school are you going to then?"

"Why should I tell you, you rich perverted stalker." I muttered the last bit.

"Amu-chan! Ami-chan! What are you doing here?"

I turned around to the source of the sound. My mum. "Um… Ami wanted some candy so I brought her here."

She took a sceptical look at the size of Ami's lolly and then at the bag in my hand. "Amu-chan… you knew we couldn't afford this. It was one of the reasons we moved here in the first place. And now that I've got…" she trailed off.

"Got what?" I asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." She saw Ikuto standing next to us. "By any chance are you…"

"Related to Dr. Tsukiyomi Aruto? Yup, he's my father." He finished her sentence for her.

"I thought you look familiar, I just saw your dad you see. He told me a bit about you."

He nodded politely. Who knew he could be polite.

"Well, you've met my two daughters." She smiled, "Amu-chan will be going to your school starting from tomorrow, so I hope you will be able to take care of her."

"I WHAT?"

"You're going to the same school." She rubbed her temples, "We'd better be going now. See you some other time Tsukiyomi-san."

"Amu-chan, wake up it's time for school." My mum shook me on the shoulder.

I rolled to my left on my bed, "Mmpghh…"

"Amu-chan, come on your new school won't be that bad. At least Tsukiyomi-san is there."

And that is precisely one of the reasons I don't want to go.

"Amu-chan? Are you awake?"

"Mmhmm…"

"I'll get breakfast ready first then. Don't fall back to sleep." She left the room and closed the door behind her…

…

I rolled over and checked the clock on my wall. 8:23

"SHOOT! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!"

I grabbed my new uniform that had been hanging in my closet. It was a short red plaid skirt, a white blouse, a black jacket/blazer looking thing, and a red tie. (A/N: same one as the anime) I grabbed my bag and ran out the door, not before passing quickly by our full length mirror which stood in the hallway. (A/N: no idea why it's there…)

"Amu-chan would you like breakfast?" my mum handed me a plate with a buttered toast.

I grabbed the toast, shoved it in my mouth and ran out the door. Crap I'm going to be late. I finally reached the school after running up the extremely steep hill. So this is Seiyo Academy… there were students milling around in the same uniform as me. I looked up at the building, this school was smaller than my previous one but according to the pamphlet my mum got me, they had a lot of better facilities including an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and basketball/netball courts.

I accidentally bumped into something and stepped back.

"Hey watch where you're walking!"

I looked around. No one looked like they were talking to me, though I was receiving a few stares.

"Down here!" the voice called again.

I looked down, a short girl with long blonde hair and yellow eyes looked indignantly at me. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there."

"Sure you didn't."

"OI RIMA! Over here!" the short girl turned to her left. Another blonde haired girl was waving to her. She walked up to her without saying anything.

"Nice to meet you too." I muttered. I took out my phone and checked the time. I thought I was going to be late… 8:44. Nope I was late, but why is everyone still hanging around? I decided to find the office, I needed to get my timetable anyway.

I walked through hallway by hallway… where the hell is the freaking office!!

"Um, are you lost?"

"No." I replied without even looking at who asked.

"Do you want me to help you?"

"No."

"Would you like me to take you to the office then?"

I finally turned to see which annoying guy kept on asking me questions. He looked familiar, long purple hair and yellow eyes. "Hey! You're one of those dudes from yesterday."

He laughed, "Yup. Didn't get to introduce myself, I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko. You can call me Nagi though, most people call me that anyway."

"Hinamori Amu." I replied.

"Thought you'd say no again." He mused. "So would you like me to take you to the office Amu-chan?"

I nodded, "Thanks." I said a bit flustered he called me Amu-chan. "So… what year are you in?" I asked to stop the awkward silence.

"I'm in year 10, you?"

"Same."

"Oh maybe we'll get to be in the same class then." We continued walking awkwardly. "So…" he said after a few minutes. "You just moved here?"

"Yup, my mum, my sister and I."

"What about your dad?"

"Oh. He uh…died."

"I'm sorry." he said meekly.

"It's okay, it was 5 years ago."

"But still, once in your heart, forever in your heart. Here we are, the office." He pointed to a lady at a desk. "Excuse me, Amu-chan is new here. Could she have her timetable?" he asked politely to the lady. She handed him a sheet on paper, who then gave it to me.

I studied my timetable for today

Period 1- English, room 3.6

Period 2- Health, room 2.7

Recess

Period 3- Science, room 1.4

Period 4- Science, room 1.4

Lunch

Period 5- Geography, room 2.8

Period 6- Maths, room 3.2

Great I have double science and maths to end the day…

"Hey, we have most of the classes together. Except for Health, they usually split them into guys and girls." Nagi showed me his.

"Why?" I ask, for the sake of conversation while I continued studying the timetable.

"For obvious reasons."

"Like what?"

"Uhh…the bell's going to go soon; I'll go with you to English since I'm in your class anyway."

"So how was health?" Nagi asked. After English he had walked me to my next class and told me he'd come back and help me around the school.

I cringed, "Inoue-sensei showed us pictures…"

"I see…" he raised his eyebrows.

"What about you?"

"Sensei showed us videos. I'm now scarred for life." He muttered. "Anyway, here's the cafeteria. The food doesn't cost a lot. But I doubt any of us have a stomach to eat something after that. Come, I'll introduce you to my friends." He started to walk to the middle of the cafeteria.

"Yo Nagi!" the spiky brown haired guy from yesterday greeted him, "Hey, it's that pretty girl from yesterday!" he grinned. "I'm Souma Kukai." The two blonde haired girls from this morning were sitting on the same table.

"Pretty girl? She looks normal to me." the taller blonde girl said.

I ignored her.

"What's she doing here Nagi?" the short girl asked.

"Amu-chan's going to sit with us, Rima, what else?" Nagi told her, he gestured for me to sit down and sat down himself on another chair.

"Amu-chan?" the short girl, Rima, asked obvious she didn't like me.

"Hinamori Amu, that's my name." I told her. "I'm new here."

"No really?" the tall girl asked sarcastically, "Everyone's already talking about you. So what did you do that got you expelled from your old school? Did you really sle-"

"Utau!" Kukai interrupted, "Ignore her, she's always like that."

"I am not Kukai!" she huffed, "Ikuto's not going to agree anyway."

I sighed. Oh great… I forgot he goes here.

A bag was thrown on the table "I'm not going to agree to what?"

"To her," Utau pointed to me "sitting here."

Ikuto looked at me, as if he finally noticed me. "Hey, its daddy's little girl!" he bent down to eye level with me. "So you like you jacket?"

"What jacket?"

"I'm so cut Amu-chan," he rested his hand on his chest. "The jacket I bought for you yesterday. Don't you remember?"

"Oh that jacket."

"Yes that jacket." he rolled his eyes and sat down on the seat next to me.

"I guess he doesn't mind after all." Kukai told Utau.

"So how's your mum? She still feeling okay?"Ikuto asked, propping his feet up on the table.

"Why wouldn't she?"I asked.

"She didn't tell you?" he took out and apple and bit into it.

"Tell what?"

"It's not something for me to tell." He shrugged.
