Chapter 1

Amu Hinamori, a teenage girl with cute pink hair, and mysterious golden eyes was staring up at the ceiling in her bed, her headphones on. Amu always wore her black headphones studded with dark pink rhinestones. Amu had a special condition, it started when she witnessed something, something she wished she could forget, but she never could. It was so traumatic for Amu, that something occurred to her. Ever since that fateful day, she heard voices. If her headphones weren't on and playing music, the voices would start screaming at her, blaming her. The parents, Midori and Tsumugu, were so close to have to send their beloved child to the insane asylum that they called the best doctor out there to find a solution.

Ever since the incident, Amu put up an attitude, others called it 'cool and spicy' it was fine with Amu. It hid what she was truly feeling inside.

"Amu, can you come down here please?" she heard mother call. Amu groaned but got out of bed. When she came downstairs she saw her mother holding a plate with pancakes on it. Amu groaned, she remembered that she would have to start a new day at school. Her parents had just moved due to their work. Mr. and Mrs. Hinamori worked together to write magazines. Midori did the writing while Tsumugu did the photography. They were quite successful, okay, that was an understatement, they were actually one of the most successful pairs in the world.

"So Amu, our article in the magazine requires for us to go away for a while, but the problem is, well we're traveling by airplane." Amu sighed, she knew what that meant. She would have to stay home. Amu would have to turn off her music for a time when the plane was lifting off and touching down, she wouldn't be able to handle it. "So Amu, we're going to take Ami with us, and we have set up a living situation with one of our new colleagues. Because her children actually go to the same school as you, she's going to pick you up after school." Amu looked up and nodded, acting as though she didn't truly care she asked, "so, when are you leaving?" At noon, after we check in at work. So go pack some of your things now before school, then I'll give them to my colleague at work." Midori then checked the clock, "Oh my gosh Amu! You have to go to school! Don't worry, Ami and I'll pack for you." With that, Amu was pushed out the door.

Amu sighed, she didn't really want to go to school. The last school she went to weren't great. To her face they would always adore her, but behind her back, they whispered and jeered. True, it did seem odd that she always wore headphones, but she wished they wouldn't be so two-faced. 'Well, at least it's better than what they would do if they know about my problem.' Amu sighed, for what seemed like the thousandth time, she had seen too much for a girl that was only in high school should have, and it took its toll. The voices, when they would come out, definitely didn't help the matters. Honestly, a few times they almost convinced Amu to commit suicide. She wasn't emo, nor was she goth, just…lost.

Amu was pulled out of her thoughts when she almost ran into the gate that somehow appeared right in front of her. Amu looked up, the school was huge! The yard of the school was beautiful and high class, and the building itself, well it was just… woah. That's the only way to describe it, it was beyond explanation. Amu slowly reached her hand out to push open the gates when suddenly it crashed open to a blue-haired boy being chased after a girl with blonde pigtails. Unfortunately for Amu, when the gate knocked her over, it also knocked off the headphones. Her eyes widened. She frantically searched for them, already the voices were whispering, getting louder by the second. Thankfully, she found them rather quickly.

"Oh Ikuto! You're in for it now! Not only did you totally ruin my candy, but now you also knocked over a new girl!" The supposed Ikuto then jumped up onto the brick wall surrounding the school. A great feat considering that it was taller than him. He sat down on it, bringing one of his knees up to his chest and smirked. "Oh, sorry about that, I didn't know you cared so much Utau." "Ikuto! I'm going to kill you when come down from there!" This caused Ikuto to smirk more, "If that's so, then I think I'll just stay up here." "You can't stay up there forever you darn cat!" They both had clearly forgotten about Amu. Amu looked at Ikuto, now that she thought about it, he did seem like a cat. She could just imagine cat ears and a tail on the guy. The smile immediately dropped from her face, 'cool and spicy' she thought. She then got up and walked into the school yard, making sure her headphones were situated properly on her head.

As soon as she walked into the school, everyone started to stare at her. On the inside she squirmed, but the outside remained cool. Then all of a sudden, everyone squealed, "so cool and spicy!" The boys had hearts in their eyes, the girls were in admiration. Amu just kept walking and reached the office.

The secretary looked up and gave Amu her schedule and locker number when Amu asked. Then noticing the headphones, "you can't wear those during-" she cut off when Amu handed her a piece of paper indirectly stating her reason for them from her parents. The secretary looked at it and put it on her desk then went back to her work when Amu walked away. Amu looked at her schedule, the first thing she had was science. Oh what joy. That was Amu's favorite subject, it just brought her such happiness thinking about it.

As she was thinking about how she hated- oh! Sorry. I meant love the subject; she bumped into someone. It was a tall boy with brown hair and bright green eyes. The headphones almost came off, she quickly, in the blink of an eye, she readjusted her headphones. The boy didn't seem to notice this. He steadied her, "sorry about that, say, you must be new. What's your name?" The boy asked. "Amu Hinamori, yeah I'm new." "That's cool, say, what class are you going to?" "Science." The boy's face brightened, "really? Cool! We're in the same class. C'mon, I'll show you to it." He grabbed Amu's hand and dragged her to the class.

So there Amu was, being completely and utterly bored, when suddenly that Ikuto guy barged into the room, "sorry for interrupting class Mr. Jan, but the principal would like to see Amu Hinamori." Everyone looked at Amu, she shrugged and looked uninterested, earning everyone (except Ikuto's) squeal. Amu got up and walked out the door and past Ikuto.

"So where is the principal's office?" Amu asked disinterestedly. "What? You're not going to thank me and proclaim me your savior from taking you out of class?" Amu ignored him and kept walking. She felt something grab her arm, she looked up and her golden eyes met his indigo. She immediately looked away, yanked her arm out of his hand and started to walk away. That's when she felt something, something grab her headphones…and yank them off.

In this story all of the guardians plus Utau and Ikuto are all around the same age and in highschool, if you haven't figured that out already.
