Sierra: Yay~! Yet another new story by TheRedStrawberriesBest! Aren't you guys excited? Lolz, I am! Because I just am! I'm weird aren't I? Okay, welcome to my new story...Orion! I'm guessing nobody know's what that means so allow me to explain. Orion means 'Hunter-Constellation' Everybody knows what a constellation is, right? Well Orion is the name of a fighter that is said to have been seen with a shield, but is also a star. So, that's when this crazy idea popped into my head. ENJOY!

Also, this story is probably the most AMUTO filled story you will ever read. Okay, that's exaggerating but still! There will be too many amuto moments to even count! So be prepared! NOTE: Amu~(16)(as in years of age)

Orion

CHAPTER 1

~+*Make a Wish*+~

By TheRedStrawberriesBest

*~iWish~ *

~AMU~

It was night-time already. I hated how time always flew by so fast. Especially during the summer. When everybody was out doing things and having fun, I was alone in my room the entire day most of the time. But, even if I were to leave my room, there still wouldn't be anybody else home. That's because...

It's because my parents weren't there. They just weren't there anymore. They used to be there though. They were there for me. It would have been fun, if they were still here...Mama would have had a baby girl and she would be my sister. We would have all had fun too. If it wasn't for that snowy day. They would still...

I forced my mind to think of other topics aside from the depressing stuff.

I walked over to my big balcony window and peered outside at all the stars in the clear night sky. Some twinkled more than others, and there were too many to possibly count. I loved nights like this though. They were truly amazing and beautiful. I unlocked the window and stepped outside into the warm night air. I was instantly bathed in the moonlight and shine of the stars. The only pro of not having anybody around was that you could wear whatever you wanted at you wouldn't get yelled at.

I took hold of that advantage and wore what I wanted. Which was actually a lot less than I should have been. I wore a light pink tank top with a built-in bra. Then to match, I wore light pink laced underwear with a small bow on the right side. And that's it. Like I said, I took care of the once in a lifetime advantage and wore as little as possible.

Although there was a small anklet around my ankle that I always wore. It was my moms.

I walked over to the ledge on the balcony and crossed my arms over it. I leaned into it and gazed up at the sky. For some reason it was always at times like this that I started daydreaming. I always daydreamed about having someone there for me. Even though I knew it wasn't going to happen. I couldn't just magically wish for someone to appear and always be there for me. But I wanted to.

I wanted a person to appear before me and tell me everything would be okay, everything would be all right. I wanted them to tell me not to worry. No matter who it was, if it was just somebody I didn't care. Although secretly I knew what I really wanted. Maybe I was just too afraid to admit it.

If I could wish upon the biggest star I would. But there were too many stars that I didn't think there was a way to find the biggest star. A shooting star only came around once in a lifetime so it was useless waiting for one of those. Only a fool would do that. Maybe one came around every so often though.

The sweet midnight breeze decided to bestow itself upon me. It felt nice. It always seemed like a mystery on where all those stars came from. They couldn't have just magically appeared out of nowhere. That would be ridiculous.

Starlight.

Star bright.

That's what my mom taught me. To make a wish on the first star you see tonight.

You wish you may.

You wish you might.

Take this wish you wish tonight.

How stupid. Wishes didn't come true. That's only something everybody wanted you to believe. Just like if you were to go to a mall and there would be a fountain with a bunch of change in it. All that change is people's wasted money. Their hopeless dreams. Their hopeless wishes. They only did that to get your money. Nobodies wish ever came true. Unless it was something as simple as falling in love.

I sighed and put my head in my hands.

Falling in love huh? That didn't sound to fun. At least it was someone who was there though. If you fell in love, that would mean someone would be there for you. But falling in love was scary. What if something happened to the person you fell in love with? I didn't want to end up like my mom...

I don't know what caused me to gently fold my hands and entwine my fingers together. I closed my eyes and brought my hands up over my mouth. It was useless, but at least worth the try.

"Please..." I whispered softly. "If there is someone out there, anyone, please come to me. Please come tell me it will be okay. Tell me you'll always be there for me. I want someone to always be there for me."

Nothing happened after that, and I didn't expect anything to. I brought my hands down back to my sides and opened my eyes. It was useless. Wishes don't actually work. They never will. A tear slid down my cheek and fell to the balcony. No. I wouldn't allow myself to cry. I wiped my eyes and went back to my room. Before I did so, I could have sworn I saw a twinkle in the sky, like a star was twisting. But then again it was probably just my imagination.

I wrapped myself in the comfort of the warm blankets. My soft pillow added cushion to my head. Pink hair strung out everywhere. I was dead tired and wanted nothing but sleep. My dark room welcomed me to sweet dreams that night. Because nobody else would.

~*iWish*~

Chirp...chirp...chirp...It was the singing of the birds that finally woke me up. For some reason I felt abnormally warm. It felt nice, and I wanted to stay in my curled up position for the rest of the day. But I knew fate would not simply allow that. Slowly I opened my eyes to see the sight of my pink door on the other wall.

I groaned and turned the other way, closing my eyes again. There was a soft breathing sound, which I thought was my own. It's when I actually heard my own against the others that made me wonder. The breath breathed on my bare chest, softly and lightly. My eyes opened again.

Then I saw a boy, sleeping so close, right next to me. My eyes widened and I shot up.

What...?

I looked at the boy. He looked about my age. He had shiny dark blue hair. His long eyelashes complimented his soft looking cheeks. His full pink lips were slightly parted. The boys chest moved up and down with every breath he took. His hands were up by his head, sleeping like I had. He looked...innocent. His clothes were all black too. He was cute but...

What was he doing in my bed?

I panicked silently, not actually wanting to wake the sleeping boy. How did he get in? More or less, I needed to get him out of my bed and out of my house. How was I supposed to do that?

A sudden urge to go splash a little water in my face took control of my body. Quietly I opened and closed my door, heading to the bathroom. The water was cold, and I stared into the mirror with that same expression I always seemed to have. I splashed the water in my face, hoping to wake myself up a bit. I didn't want to really panic over this. In fact, I didn't want to show any emotion at all but I had to. It was so weird.

I wiped my face dry and opened the door to leave.

When I entered my room again I was surprised to see that the boy wasn't there. My eyes widened. Where did he go?

"That outfit's pretty interesting," said a deep voice behind me.

I whipped around to see the boy who had been lying in my bed. He stood with his arms crossed and back against the wall. His expression showed he really did find an interest in what I was wearing. His eyes studied my body like I was some type of weird animal he had just come across.

I blushed.

"Who are you?" I asked calmly, but mentally panicked on the inside.

When his eyes stopped groping me, he looked straight into mine. It's almost as if he captured my eyes with his. Midnight blue was what I wanted to say, but there was also a hint of purple in them. He tilted his head a bit and leaned against the wall even more.

"I am you're shooting star," he said.

Shooting star? Because that made sense. The whole picture of last night's star-gazing peered into my mind. There weren't any shooting stars last night. It was a question on whether this guy was seriously some lunatic weirdo, or if there was something I didn't know. I did make a wish last night upon the stars, maybe that's what he meant. But, I highly doubt it.

"What do you mean? You're not a shooting star," I said, glaring at him. "I don't know what you are, but I want you out of my home. I have no clue how you even got in, but get out. Now."

He didn't move an inch. All he did was stare at me and say "I can't leave. You wished for someone to always be there for you. I am you're wish."

"Quit playing with me! Were you stalking me last night? Cree-!" Suddenly he came off the wall and grabbed both of my wrists. He twirled me around and pinned me against the wall his back was previously. My eyes widened and I stared up into his.

He had a serious look on his face, which worried me. Was this guy for real?

"It might be hard to explain, but allow me," he said calmly. "When you made a wish last night, you wished really hard. You might not have known it, but it's true. Deep in your heart there was a wish waiting to be expressed, and that's where I came from. Upon the first star you saw last night. Realizing that fact you couldn't have seen the very first star, you looked at me. I am a star. I am the star that was born from your wish. You're wish was for someone to always be there for you, right? I have to obey you're wish. Therefore I will always be here for you."

"You are...a star?" I asked. He nodded. "The star that appeared from...my wish?" He nodded again.

"But, if you're a star then how come you're a human?"

"When people wish upon stars, much like you did, we fall from the sky. At that point we're still stars, but when we hit the earth we turn into humans."

Processing that wasn't exactly the easiest thing. I didn't want to actually believe this guy, but it seemed like the only thing to do. It was the only explanation.

"Do you believe me now? I cannot leave until you're wish is fulfilled. After that, I will simply return to my former self as a star, and wait for the next wish."

"Does that mean you will live forever?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No. Even stars die eventually."

I looked away from his alluring gaze. A shooting star...? My wish?

"Does that mean if other people make wishes, they will get a shooting star like you too?"

He shrugged. "It depends on how hard they wish. If their heart yearns for it that much, one of us will fall and become their wish."

My heart...My heart really yearns for my wish? My wish was for someone to always be there for me. I guess I wished really hard, but still. It was...too much to process. Even though it might have seemed like I got everything. I pretended like it was as shocking as it really was. I closed my eyes and thought about the upcoming events this would cause. I don't know if I should be happy, or surprised, or sad, or anything. What should I do?

His hands let my wrists go. I opened my eyes again. "What's your name?"

"Ikuto."

Ikuto...

"You should..." he began,, looking away from me and shoving his hands in his pockets. "Change."

Change? I looked down at myself at realized what I was wearing. Same outfit as last night...No pants, and just a tank top. I wanted to blush and scream at him, but this is what was comfortable. I didn't want to change. I looked away from him.

"Make me! If you think you can suddenly appear in my life and start telling me what to do, you've got another thing coming to you mister! If you don't like it then leave," I said, annoyed. I actually felt like dropping to my knees and bawling my eyes out, but resisted the urge.

Instead I left the room, without saying another word. Not even bothering to hear what he had to say. Angered...not really. Upset...I don't think so. Confused...definitely. I don't get all this and I don't want to.

I want that, star or whatever away from here. Whoever he his. Just because nobody's here, and nobody will be here, doesn't give that thing a free ticket to stay. Plus, I'm...

Afraid. My wish came true. It's weird. I should be happy but I'm afraid. Will he really always be there for me? That's scary.

I lightly walked over to my fridge, my feet not making a single sound. My mom always used to tell me to have marshmallow feet in the mornings. Really she just wanted me to stay silent so nobody woke up. That stuck with me I guess. It's hard getting rid of habits. It's hard...forgetting.

That's right.

I opened the fridge and grabbed a cold bottle of water. It was refreshing, and the way the water poured down my throat made me want to think more.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so mean...Especially if everything Ikuto said was true. If he really is a star, then he can't help that. He's simply doing his job. His job is fulfilling my wish. It's not like I didn't wish for someone to be there for me. It's that I never imagined that someone being a shooting star. Let alone an attractive shooting star.

Oh, what was I thinking? Did I really think he was cute? No. Yes. God.

I needed to figure all of this out. But somehow it seemed harder to do alone. It wouldn't hurt to ask him for help. It wouldn't be the end of the world.

I took the water bottle away from my lips. I sighed and closed my eyes. So, maybe it was decided. We could probably figure this out together. With his help, maybe, just maybe, I'll be all right. The slightest change in temperature in my room caused goosebumps to appear all over my body. And maybe Ikuto was right about another thing too. I should most likely change. But I'll do that later. Now, I'll go apologize and talk to him about all of this.

I slowly walked back up the stairs, taking the water with me. For some reason water helped me think more. Or at least think rationally.

When I entered my room again, Ikuto was sitting on my bed with his legs crossed. He was looking around, studying my room. That's what I thought he was doing anyways. He seemed to be completely unaware I just came back. Or he didn't want to be aware. Silently I closed the door and stood there for a second.

"I'm sorry," I blurted, shutting my eyes tightly. I sighed and before I got too afraid continued on with my sentence. "I didn't mean to sound mean or make you mad. It was just...surprising I guess. I didn't think something like this would ever happen. To me no less." I opened my eyes and waited for his reply. The good news was he stopped looking around my room. The bad news is he looked at me with a complete blank expression. I didn't actually know if that was good or bad.

"It doesn't matter what you say," he said in a solemn tone. "Because no matter what I can't leave until you're wish is fulfilled. I won't leave you."

My eyes widened. Something about that sentence...I won't leave you. It sent sparks through my body. Definitely a shock. Something new. Something...I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear that sentence. In fact I wanted to tell him to say it again but resisted. I like it. I wanted someone to never leave me. Can't those words please be true?

Suddenly a whole different feeling shot through my body. I had never felt it before, and was beginning to wonder what it was. It was a sweet feeling, like candy. It was a smooth feeling, like silk. It was a soft feeling, like fur. It felt nice as if I could wrap myself in it and be perfectly content. I couldn't help but think that sentence triggered it. This feeling...I liked it. I wanted to feel it over and over again. I wanted to feel it more.

Something about this new situation would most likely change everything. Everything had to change now. Everything had to get better. It just had to. It couldn't get worse. How could this go bad? It was just a shooting star telling me he's going to grant my wish. No big deal. I felt like smacking my forehead. This was a big deal. The biggest deal I'll most likely ever get.

My hand moved on its own, because I wasn't moving it. It reached out. Reached out to him. It longed to be touched by him. I longed to be touched by someone. Anyone.

Him.

I felt like crying but I knew my words had to come out. I had to do this. This had to happen. Because from now on, things could only get better.

"Then," I began, looking into his alluring gaze. "Don't leave me."

Sierra: Yey~! Done with chappie one of ma new shtoreh! How awful was it? Come on don't lie I know it was terrible. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Hopefully it turned out better than I imagined. If it seems like Amu is going along with everything so easily it's because she is. You'll most likely find out why in the next couple of chapters. c:
