Chapter One: Birthday surprise

"Amu-sama, your so cool!" a fan-girl squealed in the crowd.

"Amu-sama, I wish that I could be you!" said the girl next to her as Amu started to sign autographs.

"Amu-sama, is there anything you need?" the bodyguard next to her whispered in her ear because of the screaming fans.

"Amu-dear, how are you feeling?" her father questioned as Amu came home; exhausted.

"Amu honey, did you take your pills?" her mother asked, but Amu still refused to take them.

This was all she would ever get; her whole life has been "Amu-sama this" or "Amu-sama that". She just wanted a regular life, couldn't anyone understand that? Amu took a deep breath as she was led into the family "conference room" by her butler. She never particularly liked these 'parent to child' discussions, but what needed to be done had to be done. Four years ago on this exact day, her parents had told her that she was apparently the only Angelic Star in the world. Since then she has been going through vigorous training even though she didn't even know what an Angelic Star was in the first place. She was also pulled out of school and she had to break away from all her friends. She couldn't remember any more then that but she did know that today was her birthday but she never celebrated it. Her parents would never mention it either. Her past was fuzzy to her but she could still remember that she attended a private elementary school once and that she use to show emotion back then. She can also faintly remember some people, her friends, but their faces were blurry.

Amu's butler opened the door for her to walk into the conference room. Her usual, unemotional facade was plastered on her face. The tense air was normal when her family was in the same house together, let alone the same room. The dining table sat in the middle of the room, which was more of a long table that kings should sit at then somewhere to eat with a "family." Her mother, Midori, sat on one side of the table with two fingers resting on her temples, moving them in a counter-clockwise circles and had her and eyes closed. Her father, Tsumugu, sat on the other side of the table, looking at the floor in a calm matter, but his face held a look of boredom. These two were her parents. They were rarely ever home and to Amu, it felt like she didn't even know them. She didn't even know what job they had; all she knew was that the only reason they lived in a mansion was because of all her jobs.

"Amu honey, how are you feeling?" her Dad asked once again, lifting his eyes from the floor to look at her. She shrugged, knowing that he would understand what she was trying to say. Her mother and father always asked her how she was whenever they were home and Amu would always shrug. Did they think that she had a problem?

"Well, we actually have some exciting news to tell you," he said. Amu scoffed silently. Nothing exciting ever happened in this house other then her daily training. She didn't really get what her fighting sessions were for, but she accepted them none-the-less. Along with her "fighting training" she also had to train for singing, piano, modeling, acting and just recently, electric guitar so her days were busy enough without trying to run away from the paparazzi. She was Japan's current number one idol but to Amu, who use to enjoy plunking the piano keys and singing her heart out, it didn't mean anything. For four years now, she hasn't been able to be herself but Amu never complained, in fear of disappointing her parents.

"Well, honey, not to be abrupt, but you're actually a Vampire, but not just any Vampire; an Angelic Star." her Mother spoke for the first time in a long while. Amu froze in her place. So that's what an Angelic Star is... She also made this assumption awhile ago, considering that her family was treated like royalty by everyone.

"Well, you haven't really unlocked your full abilities yet but you will once you attend school. Your going to attend a very special school Amu...for Vampires and Vampire Slayers" Midori paused again and went on.

"You are at that time where you need to attend Seiyo Academy where Vampires, Slayers, and humans are allowed to coexist together. You will be leaving in exactly five hours from now in which you will be given time to pack." She looked at Amu who just stared back, probably from shock.

"Well, anyways here is a manual from the school stating all that you would need to know and...," her Mother paused as she took out a packet and handed it to Amu. Amu just stared at the packet so Midori continued.

"You may also want to know that I am a full Vampire, and Tsumugu is a Vampire Slayer. That is partially the reason why you are an Angelic Star but never mind that now. We are the leaders of Vampires called Dark Aces. No one knows Tsumugu is a Slayer though. Once you feel like you learned enough from the Academy just go beyond the gates and we will be waiting for you. Until that time, you are not allowed to go on class field trips or go beyond the school boundary, but if you need anything we will be able to ship it to you which is why I will be sending you a letter every week, along with your special blood tablets." Midori paused yet again and continued.

"I should warn you not to tell anyone at the Academy that you are an Angelic Star. Trust me. We'll be picking you up in exactly five hours so when you hear me knock be ready. On our way there I will be dying your pink hair to blonde, also I will change your last name so that you will be given a chance at a regular life," She finished, handing Amu the manual. Midori turned around and walked over to the door. Tsumugu just followed while slipping his hand underneath Midori's, so they were intertwined.

"Well see you in a bit. Oh and Amu...Happy Birthday." She said and closed the door to leave Amu by herself.

When she heard the door click Amu let out the breath she was holding in. This was happening too quickly for Amu. She rarely ever left the mansion except to go on sets for acting, stages for singing, runways for modeling, and the mandatory red carpet walks but now...she was going to school? She didn't really need to go because whatever her private instructor taught her, she would memorize. She looked back at the packet in her hand. She would read the Manual, however, Amu decided that it would be best to pack first. She strode over to the double doors, climbed up the tall spiral staircase, walked down the hallway to her room, went over to her highly stocked closet and started to search for something comfortable to wear because she had already taken a shower before coming down. Amu scoffed at her hypercritical thinking. Of course she wouldn't have anything comfortable to wear, her Mother would always pick out her outfits from extravagant places they traveled to...without Amu.

She sighed as she slumped on a plain gold and white dress that fluffed up at the bottom. It went to mid-thigh and Amu thought that it was too showy but it would do for now. Amu thanked God that she was allowed to own a pair of converse due to the contract she had with the converse company. She slipped on the white Converse that went over her ankle and over the white socks that were a couple inches below where her dress stopped. Amu also owned one hoodie that always saved her from the paparazzi so she slipped it on after she put on a little bit of make-up. Midori had given her the make-up but she never really used it since her make-up artist would always do it. Even though her closet was full of dresses, ball gowns, and "showy clothing" Amu didn't like to wear them; it just wasn't her.

Her Chara's, Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia were no where to be found, but Amu didn't worry about that too much as she was starting to feel excited for the first time in a long time. She went back to her master bedroom to find four maids lined up in an army position.

"Amu-sama, we have already packed your bags and we hope that they are to your liking." The one closest to Amu said. Amu nodded and continued to the door to be stopped by the steward.

"No, no Amu-sama, you must not open this for yourself; it may dirty your delicate hands," he said. Amu raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing. Amu strode over to the book-shelve by her bed and pointed at it.

"We also packed a bag filled with your favorite books," he said and Amu nodded again but inside she was smiling.

The reason why Amu read so much books is because it would give her an outlet, how small that might be, to the outside world, and even though Midori would pick out her books for her she still enjoyed the fact that she could read them. Even though Amu felt excited, her facial expression stayed that of a doll; unemotional and unchanged. It's not that she couldn't smile or laugh it's just that she couldn't no matter how hard she tried. She hasn't smiled or laughed since...ouch! She put her hand up near her forehead. Whenever she thought of her past she would get a migraine so whenever it happened she would try and just ignore it. She sighed silently before finally sitting down on her bed and opening the manual. This was definitely her best birthday ever.

Me: And that's it for the first chapter! I hope you liked it because I will try to post a new one every two weeks, maybe a week if I'm not busy ;) Oh! And by the way AMU IS NOT MUTE! (that would suck considering that she is a singer...)

Amu: Wah why do I have to wait for the next chapter? I want another one now! And where are my Chara's?

Me: *evil grin* :P Hehe I hope you liked it! Let me list one of the things I enjoy: Long reviews. Yup, those inspire me to write more! I know that you might not write a review until like the third chapter but hey, one can always hope right?
