Ohaaayo. This is .OkamixHagi.. Please call me Okami.. .!! This is my first time writing fanfiction! I never thought I'd actually do something like this – but no matter how geeky my brother says fanfiction is, I MUST SATISFY MY FANGIRL NEEDS! (Kyaaaaa ~~..)
Summary;
Amu is a girl who hides her feelings behind by putting up a 'cool and spicy' act, but inside she's a girl with insecurities. Ikuto is a boy who is treated like a puppet by the evil Easter corporation, and has a troubled past that haunts him even to this day. Little do they know, the two of them will be brought together – by a bet..

[Amu +++]
You wrapped me in your spider silk..
And gave me hope that was diseased..
For while your standin' by my side..
You break my bones and drain my arteries..
"Amu-chaaan !! Wake up!! This is Mama and Papa !! Wake up Amu!! Don't be la- SMACK"
Augh.. I really need to get Mama and Papa to stop messing around with my alarm..
Ohayo.. This is Amu Hinamori speaking. I am currently a middle-school student, 2nd year, at Seiyo High. Today is my birthday. Hoorah.. I guess you can tell I'm unhappy.. It's because I have no friends to celebrate me becoming 14! So pitiful. *Sigh*.
I sit up slowly, not wanting to get up. My now-opened eyes have to blink rapidly to get used to the bright light coming out from behind my translucent curtains. Soo tired! I guess I have to put on my uniform though.. Gehhhhhhhh..
As I grab my black jacket and head out the door, I pause to glance at my pink-haired, golden-eyed reflection in the mirror. Hair tie, check. Red band, pinned with a safety pin, check. Cool and spicy image.. *Sigh* Check.
"Amu-chan!! How did you like the alarm Mama and Papa made for you?" Mama asked. "With LOVE!" Papa added.
I gave them my best _ look and continued to eat my eggs.
"Oh no! Mama! Our child has grown up.. Into a moody teenager!! How could I have forgotten?! Today, my little Amu-chan.." Oh no.. "IS FOURTEEN!! *Cries*"
Pretending to not hear Papa's and Mama's exaggerated wails, I say goodbye to my little sister Ami and leave the Hinamori household.
[Ikuto xxx]
"Kyaa.. Teehee.. Sugoi.."
Huh? Who's that? I slowly open my eyes to reveal a girl with violet eyes and long blonde hair in pigtails holding a camera.
"Utau.. Eh, what are you doing? WHY am I wearing cat ears?!" *Sigh*, I suppose it's no surprise. I'm pretty much used to my sister's overbearing antics. But cat ears? At least she didn't put bunny ears, I guess.
"Ikutooo ~~!! " She squealed. "Good morning! How do you feel? Are you sick? You must be sick, oohhh then can I take care of you?? KYAAAA!!"
"Utau, I feel fine. Now, can I have those pictures? I know you always use a Polaroid. Hand them over – don't give me that puppy dog look!"
"But.. Ikutoo.. I wanna frame these! . .. Cool blue hair.. Broad shoulders.. Manly ( ) face.. All that's missing are your beautiful blue eyes! Eeeee!.." Utau fawned dreamily.
"Too bad. If you want pictures, ask me first – but don't take a picture of me in cat ears!" I ordered, snatching away the half developed pictures.
"Ikuto-sama, it is time for breakfast." My butler alerted.
"Thank you, Honakochi-san. Utau, you should get ready for school too. It's time to eat breakfast. Hopefully that Kazuomi pig is gone." I said darkly. I shooed my little sister out of the room and started to get dressed.
Just as I put on my cross necklace, my pet cat Yoru nuzzled my leg and purred.
"Good morning Yoru. Heh heh, you almost remind me of Utau." Yoru was a dark blue cat that I've had since I was a child. Strangely, Yoru was also pocket-sized and so I could bring him to school everyday, though no one knew.
With Yoru on my shoulder (he started nibbling my ear, so I tapped had to tap him on the forehead with my finger) I went down to eat breakfast. Crap, that Kazuomi was here.
At the large dining table, I sat 6 chairs away, across from Utau. Breakfast was a caviar omelet. The rest of the morning at home went by without a word.
[Amu +++]
Ahh, school. How lively are the students. Hey, look, it's Kiriri and Mikura.. Look at them.. Chatting.. Laughing.. Without a care in the world. Uh oh, Kiriri saw me.
"Eheh, ohayo, Kiriri!" I said smiling. Kiriri replied with a smile and a wave.
Well, actually, this is what happened;
"Hmm, you're in the way." I said coolly. And so, Kiriri and Mikura parted, and when I passed, I could hear them squeal "Cool and spicy ◊◊◊ !"
Oh no, I did it again. Why can't I just be friendly?! This is why I don't have any friends.. Baka-Amu baka-Amu baka-Amu baka-Amu!! I thought all the way to class.
"Gooooood morning class! As you all should know, today is the birthday of our COOL-AND-SPICY classmate, HIMAMORI-SAN!!" Nikaidou-sensei announced, deliberately mispronouncing my name again.
I could feel the glances all around me. At the moment I was pretending to be trying to sleep with a book over my head, when in fact I was trying to hide my embarrassment. With a finger-gun motion, I said in a cool-and-spicy way, "Yo."
"Kyaaaa~!! Hinamori-san is still cool and spicy today!!" The girls squealed while the guys blushed.
This is SO embarrassing! I wish we could get moving with our lesson. Luckily, my wish was fulfilled a few minutes later.
"..So I want everyone to start studying for their fractions test next week! See you tomorrow!" Nikaidou-sensei finished. Great, a test. I suck at math.
"Ano, Hinamori-san, would you like to go do karaoke to celebrate your birthday?" A girl ribbons in her golden brown hair asked. Ah, is there another Hinamori-san in here? Wait, but it's only my birthday today.. Wah, I'm being asked to go out with.. OTHER GIRLS?! I cannot blow this!
"Eh.. Sounds okay." I replied, though I almost said. "M-ME?! REALLY?! OH MY GAWDS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I COULD ALMOST CRY RIGHT NOW!! OF COURSE I'LL GO!!"
"Eee, cool and spicy Hinamori-san! Yay, I'm so glad you're going to come! The place is called Karaoke Easter. We'll all be walking there after school. I'm Yaya, by the way. Rima-sama, err I mean –chan, is coming too, along with Nadeshiko-chan. Seeya!" I could hardly wait. My. First. Friend. I swear, if anyone saw, I would be drifting an inch off the ground.
The rest of the day passed in a flash, and soon I was walking with the girls to Karaoke Easter. I walked along, pretending to listen to my iPod (it was actually an old, broken and used one, I got for free from a kid I saved from bullies) when I was listening in on their conversation about the singer, Hoshina Utau and her brother, Tsukiyomi Ikuto, who both attended Seiyo High.
"She's so beautiful, and her singing is amazing! And her brother is popular.." Yaya crooned. "I would give anything to hear Utau-sama" Sama? "sing!"
I've heard Hoshina Utau's songs, they're pretty good. And for her brother Ikuto.. He makes me feel uneasy.
After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at the karaoke place and went to the counter to order a room from the bored looking teenager at the front desk.
"Hello, welcome to Karaoke Easter. I hope you are satisfied with your visit. What room would you like to order?" He said dully.
Feeling the expectant gaze from Yaya, I casually asked, "Does it make a difference? Don't you pay by hour?"
"Well, here at Karaoke Easter, we like to ensure that each of our customers get their money's worth. The most expensive ones have better sound and are equipped with drinks and snacks. They go at 7,000 yen an hour. The cheapest one is a public one, meaning that other customers may share the room with you. They go at 1,000 yen an hour."
"Hmph. Very well, we'll take the public one. There's no point in drinks and snacks, we could just order. I doubt anyone's in the public one anyways." I guessed. This really was what I thought, though this wouldn't really be how I would want to say it.
The teen led us into a round soundproofed room. The walls were covered in posters, some advertising Hoshino Utau's newest CD, Black Butterfly, and there was a large projector screen on one side, beanbags and couches on the other sides and a small platform and microphone in the middle.
"Oi, you're right, Hinamori-san. No one's here." Rima remarked. Rima was a petite girl with long wavy blond hair. Her outer personality was also like mine, but more similar to a demanding queen. Nadeshiko, on the other hand, was a perfect lady, being brought up by an old fashioned family that prided themselves on their skill in tea ceremonies and traditional dances. Both were moderately wealthy.
"I wanna sing a song first!" Yaya decided. "Hmm.. Boom Walla Woo by Bunny Star! Yay! .. Boooo… BOOM WALLA WOO, WALLA WOO, Dance with me, WALLA WOO!.."
Rima sang after Yaya, followed by Nadeshiko. After 15 minutes, it was finally my turn. I nervously chose a random song that I knew, by the Koolkats.
I sang a few verses, glancing at the shocked expressions of my group.
…
"YouandIwhenwewerecaptainsofsubmarinesmadeofsteeldiscoveringthesevenseas.."*
"Amu-chi, that's not a song, that's a rap!"
"..No.. Yaya.. That's more like a chant.."
"Amu-san, you suck. Shut up."
"Hrmph. Yaya, your turn." I mumbled, tossing the microphone to Yaya. I was just embarrassed at having to sing, I guess..
Just when Yaya was getting to the chorus, the door opened, revealing 4 guys, one blonde, one spiky brown-orange, one green, and one.. blue.. Tsukiyomi Ikuto?!
