Hi! Miss Otaku here!

This is my first fanfic, so please treat me kindly.

I'm sucked at grammar, so I apologize if there are so many wrong words and sentences, coz I'm an Indonesian.

Well, up to chapter 1. Please enjoy! (Btw, I don't own SC and this story somewhat based on Nagatacho Strawberry [I don't own either!] but not all of it)

Ah! I forgot to mention, there are no charas! And here are the characters age:

Amu : 16

Rima : 16

Ikuto: 18

Utau : 17

Tadase: 16

Enjoy again!

(chapter 1 has been editted)

The Reason behind It

Chap. 1: Her "Job"

Normal POV

Ring ring

"Ah, it's time."

"It's over already? Well, too bad I cannot kiss you. Time really flows so fast…" a teenage boy with messy black hair said sadly.

"Well, you can try it next time. Just call me, and I'll be there immediately" a beautiful girl with abnormal pink color shoulder-length hair said, trying to comfort him.

"Okay then, how much?"

"Like usual. Five thousands yen each hour. And yours is three hours"

"So, fifteen thousands, huh? Actually, I think that's too much. But, that's worth of it. Coz I can spend three hours to date with you, Hinamori-chan"

The girl, who was called Hinamori, smiled. "That's very sweet of you, Kei-kun. Well, don't forget. If you really want a kiss from me, you have to spend more ten thousand yen. You know it, don't you?"

"Of course. Here, your money. I wonder when I can spend a date with you again.."

"Hmm, let's see…" she grabbed her bag and search for her note book. Apparently to make sure when she could make a date with him again. "After this, I have a date with Suzuki-kun in the park near here. And tomorrow, I have with Aoyama and Mizuno-kun. Ah, how about Wednesday after school? I have time.."

"Okay. Meet me in the station like before. See you on Wednesday, Hinamori-chan" and with that he run off.

She waved back until he was disappeared in the crowd. She sigh, and her smile that she always wore if front of that boy, disappeared. "I wonder when I can get off of this position" she wandered to herself, as she went to her so-called next date.

Amu walked slowly to the school. Her hands held her bag's string tightly. As she walked to the school-wearing emotionless face like usual,-she heard whispers.

"Hey, is that Hinamori Amu?"

"Yeah…She is really cool, don't you think?"

"Well, at first I admired her. But now she really pissed me off!"

"Eh, why?"

" Lately, I saw her went on date with many guys! And worst, I saw her kissed them! To think that after that they gave her money, it's disgusting me to hell!"

"Eww…Are you sure it's her?"

"One hundred percent! Coz to make sure it's her, I followed them"

"Haha…you're such a stalker!"

"Not as bad as that slut," she said pointing to Amu, "Maybe last night she has some 'fun' with some random guy in the street and lost her 'most important thing'. Or maybe she has lost it long time ago?"

"Hey, don't say that!"

"But, that's possible, isn't it?" and with that, both of them laughed together.

Amu held her bag more tightly. Clearly pissed by the gossip. I'm still a virgin you know! She told herself. Inside, she really wanted to punch that girl badly. But she couldn't do anything. Because what she said-let alone about her virginity-was true. She couldn't help it, but held her tears that threatening to fall. Just wait a little longer. After that, everything is gonna be okay like before. But please, is there someone who can help me go through all of this? She whispered to herself and held her bag really tight until she felt a tap on her left shoulder.

"Rima!" Amu said, shocked to see her best friend suddenly appeared behind her.

"Amu, I wanna ask you something. Follow me, and do not argue."

Oh..

"What is it that you wanna ask, Rima?" Amu asked calmly, although she had known where the conversation would go. Now, they're sitting next to each other on the bench in the school backyard. No one there by now, so no one will overheard their conversation. A perfect place for a secret conversation.

Rima looked straight ahead, not even looking to Amu. After a minute of silence, Rima spoke, "Is it true?"

"Huh?"

"Is it true what they were talking about?"

"What do you mean, Rima? Hey, we cannot sit here for too long. The bell will-" Amu said, desperately wanted to get away with this. But Rima cut her off.

"Don't play dumb! I know you know what I mean!"

Silence.

"…yes"

"So, you really went on dates for money? And you even sold your kiss?" Rima yelled while still whispering, but still not looking to Amu.

"…yes" Amu answered again, looking down. Her bangs covering her face. She didn't know what to do. She felt like she had no place to speak here, instead of answering Rima's questions.

"Next question. Have you sold your virginity away?"

Amu's eyes widened and immediately looked at Rima. "What? Of course not! I won't do something like that!"

Rima sigh, now her face calmer. "Amu, you know we're best friend right?"

"Of course" Amu said confidently.

"You know whatever we'll do, we still trust each other right?"

"…yes" Amu reluctantly said now. She had a bad feeling with the next question.

"And I believe that as best friend, we won't keep any secrets right?"

"…."

"Amu.." Rima finally looked at Amu, who once again, looked down. "Amu, listen. I believe that you have reasons behind that. Now please tell me. Why did you do such a thing?"

Still no answer.

"Don't tell me that you're doing that just for fun."

"Of course not!" Amu snapped, looking straight to Rima's eyes, but immediately turn away. "I…have my reasons.."

"Let me guess. Do you need money?"

Amu nodded.

"If that's the problem, why didn't you tell me? I can help you!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. That's my problem, not yours."

"I told you before right? We're best friend! So, your problem is my-"

"That's not your problem!" Amu snapped, anger surrounding her body as she stood in front of Rima. Rima's eyes widen because of Amu's sudden attitude. She didn't know that Amu would be that mad. Amu sigh, but she stood still. "I'm sorry. But you know, because we're best friend, that's why I cannot involve you. I believe that if you were in my position now, you would do the same thing as I do now. I'm really sorry…"

"Amu, I-"

Ding, dong.

"Ah, the bell's ringing. Come on, Rima. Our first class will start soon." Amu said, secretly sighed in relief and began to walk away.

"Amu, don't run away from me! We're still not finish our conversation!" Rima yelled, catching up to Amu.

"I'm sorry, but please understand. I cannot get you involved with this. But you know right, that 'whatever we'll do, we still trust each other'. So please, trust me.."

Rima was silence for a moment, and then sighed. "Of course. I will always trust my best friend." She smiled a bit and Amu smiled back in return.

"Come on, let's go! Or else, Nikaidou-sensei will be angry if we're late!" with that, they run to their class.

In the middle of the run, Rima suddenly said, "Oh, by the way Amu, although we're best friend, I didn't say that 'best friend cannot try to uncover each other's secret' right?" she smirked. Amu sweatdropped and gulped.

Oh no…

Apparently, there was no class until lunch time. Amu and Rima sigh in relieved, because they didn't need to come face to face with Nikaidou-sensei because they're late. As they made their walk to the cafeteria, they heard whispers.

"Hey, Have you heard why they cancel our class until lunch time?"

"Of course! I heard that's because some important people will come after lunch. And the teachers need to prepare for their arrival. Apparently, they want us, students, to come to the auditorium room after this."

"Eh, why? That's really troublesome…"

"No need to worry. We come there to welcoming the new students."

"Students? Which means more than one? Are they those important people's children? Because, you know, we need a welcoming ceremony…"

"Yeah! And I already saw them too! There are 2 boys and 1 girl. And they're handsome, beautiful and really hot! Kyaaaaaaaa! I wanna hug them!"

"Really? I wanna see them too!"

"Just wait until you meet them. One of the boys really looks like a prince! And the other is really cool! And the girl…I'm sure you know who she is. Because she is famous!"

"You are not kidding, right? Kyaaaaaa! I can't wait until we go there!"

Rima and Amu just walked, ignoring the noisy sounds that were made by that group of girls.

"It seems that we have guests, Amu."

Amu shrugged, "Who knows? That's none of my concerns anyway."

With that, they walked away, clearly unaware that there were some fates between them and those new students…

Well, just R&R! ^^
