So Close, Yet So Far
Ok the people who have me on author alert are probably thinking what the hell is a TWEWY fic coming from a major HitsuHina fan? Explanation is this inspiration came to me as I looked for some NekuxShiki fics. I was horribly disappointed. The fics they had was good, but... there wasn't a lot. Mostly it was all JoshuaxNeku. So I wanted to make a fic that nekushiki fans could be pround of. Also I wanted to make Neku be really cool, and I question why he doesn't have a fanclub since he's those 'silent, cool looking' guys. If you are a HitsuHina fan who wandered onto this page give TWEWY a try! Just search online and they should give you the summaries :3 It might be on my profile if I'm no lying dead on my bed from sleep deprivation. Names to search are Neku Sakuraba, Shiki Misaki, Beat (he has another name I don't wanna spoil until later) and Rhyme. Here goes a TWEWY (the world ends with you, but as fanfiction names it: world ends with you.) It's set right after they meet up after they come back to the real world.
…………………
RING RING RING
Neku's alarm clock was ringing loudly as it blinked the time 7:30 AM. Neku groaned as he smacked the snooze button and rolled over to catch a few more minutes. Unluckily his phone then ringed a familiar tone. Who's calling me now?! Flipping his phone open he said in a sleepy tone
"hello?"
"Neku you're not awake yet? If you sleep any longer you won't be able to eat breakfast right? I mean school starts at 8:00 and you have to walk and everything!"
Neku sighed to himself. Why did I give this annoying girl my phone number again? Neku then replied "ok, ok I'm getting up."
"That's the way Neku! Well I guess I'll see you at school!" Shiki then hung up. Neku could imagine Shiki smiling as she said those words. Huh. I guess that's why. He then yawned as he got up slowly and shuffled over to his bathroom. He was wearing soft blue colored pajamas that weren't fancy or complicated. A few minutes later he walked out of the bathroom not in his usual outfit but in a slightly modified school uniform. It was a black top and black bottom but Neku's collar was left slightly open so his neck showed and it was more comfortable. He still wore his headphones which the school reluctantly agreed to let him wear by telling him that he couldn't bring a music player of any sort. Walking downstairs he popped 2 pieces of bread in the toaster and sat down in front of the small TV in the kitchen. His parents weren't home, they were never home at all actually. He didn't see them yet because when he came back to the real world it was one day before school started and his parents were still in some foreign country doing who know what in who knows where. For all they knew he could have died (which he did) and come back to life (which, again, he did). Flicking the TV on he watched the news as he waited for his toast to be ready. When they were he munched on one as he watched foreign new, with a deep (Very deep) small, miniscule hope that he would find out if his parents were still alive. His parents didn't even acknowledge him as their sun, but as a boy they had to take care of against their will. Glancing at the clock he noticed it was 10 minutes before school started and he dashed out with a half eaten piece of toast in his mouth. Arriving at the school he saw Beat, Rhyme, Shiki and another girl which he assumed to be Eri waiting at the front gates. He waved to them but they were blocked by a hoard of fangirls. What the hell? Last year they had left him alone, but unknown to him last year a school idol had told all the girls to ignore Neku and worship him.
"KYAHHHHHHHHHH IT'S NEKU!!" the fangirls screamed in ridiculously high pitched voices. Fighting through the crowd he could see Beat laughing his ass off, Rhyme trying to hold back a laugh and Shiki laughing slightly at him. Suddenly another crowd of girls slightly smaller than Neku's came up to Beat and started to scream too. Neku smirked as he saw Beat horrified and running away. After losing his hearing slightly Neku shoved through the crowed, pushing the girls away but not hurting them. Running up to Shiki he hid behind the wall as the crowd ran around the yard.
"So Neku's popular huh?" Shiki smiled.
Neku frowned and looked out to see the coast clear. Turning around his face was very close to Shiki's as she had turned too. They both blushed as Neku turned away and lowered his head.
"You're Neku right? Shiki told me all about you."
Neku just nodded. He didn't hate people anymore he just didn't like to talk much to them. He lifted his head slightly to see Eri blush and look away. What? He frowned and turned to Shiki.
"So what class do you have first?"
"We'll I have-"
Shiki was then dragged off by Eri as the bell rang, signaling for Neku to start walking towards his class.
"See you later Neku!" Shiki yelled as they disappeared inside the building.
Neku frowned with a confused look but soon was gone as he saw his 'fanclub' notice where he was.
To Shiki and Eri:……..
Eri dragged Shiki away to the next class as they were slightly gasping for air.
"Whats wrong Eri?"
"Well... I was just wondering about you're friend Neku. He seems kinda... cu-"
"Are you girls coming in the classroom?" the teacher said as he stood in the doorway as people began to come in.
"Yes sensei" they both said as they walked in and stood against the wall. Everyone stood silent because the teacher looked like he would murder anyone who dared to speak a word. The teacher was around in his 40's and had glasses with an old style haircut. The last person to walk in was Neku and right when he did the late bell rang. All of the girls in the class had hearts shooting out while the guys either scowled at him or dodged the shooting hearts. Neku ignored them all and seemed to be searching for someone as he walked towards an empty space in the wall. He turned in Shiki's direction and gained eye contact. Smirking slightly he then stood against the wall.
"Listen students. You all shall always address me as Mr.Kitamura. Class 104 shall always be respectful, and never talk back. My rules are simple. You disobey and suffer the consequences. Miss homework and have detention for a year. This class shall always be neat and never dirtied in any way. I catch anybody writing on there desks and they will suffer the consequences. No eating in class and no electronics. If you need anything you raise you're hand and wait until I tell you to speak.Understand?"
"Yes, sensei" the whole class droned. Neku however had not said anything and had just been staring out the floor. The whole class looked as Mr.Kitamura walked towards him slowly.
"You" he barked.
Neku lifted his head up.
"Did you listen when I was talking?"
"…yes"
"then what did I say?"
"you said, Listen students. You all shall always address me as Mr.Kitamura. Class 104 shall always be respectful, and never talk back. My rules are simple. You disobey and suffer the consequences. Miss homework and have detention for a year. This class shall always be neat and never dirtied in any way. I catch anybody writing on there desks and they will suffer the consequences. No eating in class and no electronics. If you need anything you raise you're hand and wait until I tell you to speak Understand?"
Mr. Kitsmura was in shock. This sophomore had a respectful tone and recited everything correctly.
"o-ok lets continue then. You sit over there, and you..." Mr. Kitamura continued seating people while Neku stayed completely silent. He was no troublemaker he liked staying out of sight in class. He looked towards Shiki and smiled slightly. Shiki blushed and looked away while Neku chuckled quietly. Unknown to him most of the class had seen him and was baffled by Neku the 'stay out of my face' Neku actually smiled. Once the assigned seats were done Neku was sadly to him in the front but, he was next to a window he could stare out of. Shiki and Eri sat next to each other also in the front row but on the other side of the room. The seat next to him was empty and he wondered what idiot would be late to the first day of school when Beat walked in. Typical. Neku was happy that no stranger was sitting next to him but was still uncomfortable with being open with the whole class around. After being yelled at by the teacher Beat sat down in his seat and saw Neku. He lifted his hand for a high five and Neku instinctively highfived him and smiled. Most of the class knew him already or heard about his cold demeanor so they were all in total shock. Beat had a question mark on his head but then the teacher started to speak.
"Today will just be introductions. We'll begin with the first row, going down to the last. First up is Neku Sakuraba. Neku got up and walked to the center of the class.
"My name is Neku. I like to listen to music and hang out with my friends." He then walked back to his seat. That's the only things I like. Other than Shiki- What am I thinking?! Well let's watch Beat introduce himself.
"Next up is-"
"I'm going you don't need to say my name!" Beat then quickly walked to the front.
"My name is Beat and I like to skateboard and hang out with my friends. I also play the tin-pin slammer with my friend Neku here." Beat then walked back to his seat. All of the class simultaneously thought Neku plays tin-pin slammer? –skip to Eri-
"My name is Eri and I like to design clothes! In the future I, obviously, want to e a professional fashion designer!" Eri then smiled and most of the guys had hearts in their eyes.
"Next is Shiki Misaki"
"My name is Shiki and I like to make things that my friend Eri designs. In the future I want to be a seamstress, hopefully working with Eri." As Shiki walked back to her desk Neku stared at her, which was noticed by Beat. So phones likes Shiki huh? I may have to do some meddling... Or try to help Rhyme. Class then passed by as everyone introduced themselves.
"Hey Neku, come on!" Beat then dragged him to where Shiki and Eri were talking. They both turned around and smiled as they saw Beat dragging Neku along.
"Hey beat. Hey Neku!" Shiki smiled.
"...Hey" Neku looked away to hide his blush from Shiki's smile, which was caught by the ever so insightful Beat. Well some of the time insightful.
"So what do you think of the teacher Shiki?" Eri asked.
"Well he seams really strict but not mean." Eri, Shiki and Beat continued to talk while Neku just listened in. He still had bad memories of school and didn't like being back. Looking towards the 3 talking he thought well now I have friends... he stared at Shiki. When they met she had thought that he might not like her appearance but Neku liked it better than how she looked before. He just didn't say it out loud. As they walked to the next class there was a sign that said:
A chemical explosion has postponed this class. Students arriving for 2nd period are asked to stay in the school grounds and out of any classes with students.
Neku shrugged, Eri started to think on where to go and Shiki questioned
"How can they have an explosion with just introductions?"
"Beats me"
The group was still. Did Beat just make a ridiculously corny joke?! they all thought. Beat meanwhile was laughing his ass off on the 'funny' joke he just made. Neku sighed and asked "So where now?"
"How about the yard?" Shiki suggested. Everyone agreed and began to walk to the yard. Once they were there they sat in the fresh green grass and stared out towards the sky. Everyone was smiling, and ignoring the crowds of girls looking from strategic hiding places. In other words where they could just stare at them without being too obvious. Suddenly a shadow passed by over head and everyone looked up. It was a group of guys from another class that seemed to have been excused too. The leader was apparently popular because a crowd of girls followed him too. The guy had on the school uniform but worn exactly like Neku's. His hair was a murky read and was about the same length as Rhyme's but was curled at the ends. He had his hair pulled back to the side and the ends were curled too. His eyes were a dark brown that was sweet or creamy, it looked dirty in their opinions, but obviously not his fanclub's.
"Are you Neku Sakuraba?" the guy asked as he pointed too... Beat.
Beat shook his head. "Do I look like Neku Sakuraba?! And why do you need to meet him?! Mess with him and I'll-"
Neku held his hand up and stopped Beat.
"I'm Neku. What do you want from me?"
"We'll I want your fangirls. All the girls shall belong to me as I am the best!"
Conceited ass.
"Take them." Neku gestured to wave away the girls.
"I mean all. Including Eri and dear Shi-chan here.
Dear Shiki?! Shi-chan?! What right does he have?!
Shiki meanwhile looked scared out of her mind while Eri looked with hatred.
"I mean Shi-chan here's so cu-"
Neku stood up and faced him.
"If you want something deal with me. Not them."
"Pft. Like you'd be a challenge. Anyways I bet Shi-chan has been dying to see me."
Neku saw Shiki flinch and the man began to lean towards her. Neku grabbed his shirt and held it so they were face to face.
"You don't even know them so leave with your stupid fanclub!"
"Ah but that's where you're wrong."
"wha…?"
"I'm Shiki's ex-boyfriend."
End of chapter 1
Dramatic is it this cliffy. 4 pages a new record for me 3 Next chapter will be more Neku coolness and fluff between them. Mr.Kitamura was a random name I just made up. If it does mean anything then someone please tell me XD. Hope you enjoyed it, it took 2 hours out of my life, when I really should be sleeping. Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.
