Prologue

In a forest clearing, located on the edge of town, a young girl with flawless features stood waiting for a boy. He had possession of her heart, but did she have possession of his? Today was the day she found out. She stood there waiting, thinking that she was alone in the forest. Little did she know, her friends and classmates were all gathered in the forest clearing, hiding, and waiting to watch this event.

She had been waiting for more than an hour, but she was not going to leave just yet. Not until he showed up.

"Erika," a husky voice was heard from behind her. She turned around and saw the boy she was waiting for. She let out a soft gasp.

Her stomach filled up with butterflies as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring box. He handed it to her and said, "Open it."

She slowly lifted the lid of the small box, it revealed a piece of paper that fit perfectly into the frame of the container. Her eyes widened and tears began to well up. There were words on the paper, it said 'I never loved you'.

Erika dropped to the ground and burst into tears, "Why…?"

The boy gave no reply, he could care less. He walked off and left her there crying with many people watching her.

She glanced up at the disappearing figure of the boy that held her heart. She gripped the ring box as tears continued to stream out of her eyes and whispered, "Heartbreaker."

Chapter 1

"I'm leaving now," Amu called to her mum as she left the house for school.

"Okay, be safe!" her mum called back.

Amu walked out, closed the door and started her way down the highway in a steady pace heading in the direction of Seiyo High.

As she was walking she heard someone yell, "YOU WHAAAT?" She stopped walking and glanced over across the highway and saw a girl with long blond pigtails in a Seiyo High uniform talking on her phone. She looked familiar but couldn't put a finger on who she was. Then the girl yelled again, "OH NO. YOU ARE NOT COMING TO SEIYO! YOU HEAR ME?"

Amu raised an eyebrow at the girl. Who's not coming to Seiyo? Amu was curious, but shrugged it off and continued her way to school. About 100 metres away from the school, Amu heard the bell ring but she kept her steady pace. She was usually late to school anyway, so it didn't matter.

"I'M LATE! I AM SO FRIGGEN LATE!" Her scream echoed through the house, almost causing it to shake.

"Utau! Shut up!" Utau's mum yelled at her from downstairs.

"Sorry, I'm going now. Bye!" She yelled back as she passed the kitchen. She walked out the door, slammed it shut and began to power-walk to school.

Then her phone rang, this ticked her off. She picked up without looking at the Caller ID as she continued to walk, "WHAT?"

"Utau, chill," a husky voice answered the phone.

"IKUTO? What do you want, you bitch of a brother that left me with our crazy mum?"

"Well, little sister, I sincerely apologise," he said in mock tone, "Happy?"

"Whatever, how'd last night go?"

"Do you need to ask? I dumped her, she cried, became depressed and I got expelled. Simple," he said in a bored tone.

Utau scoffed, "You got expelled again? You suck. What are you going to do now?"

"That's why I called. I'm coming to Seiyo," he replied and she could tell that he probably had that infamous smirk of his plastered across his face.

Utau suddenly stopped and yelled out, "YOU WHAAAT?" attracting attention from people around her.

"I, Tsukiyomi Ikuto, is going to Seiyo High School, which happens to be the school of you, Hoshina Utau."

Once her brain had processed what Ikuto had just said, she yelled, "OH NO. YOU ARE NOT COMING TO SEIYO! YOU HEAR ME?"

The line went silent for about three seconds then Ikuto said, "Huh?"

"UGHH! You are so frustrating!"

"I love you too, bye," and with that he hung up.

Son of a – hung up on me! Utau puffed her cheeks in frustration as she continued walking. She heard the school bell ring. UGHH! Stupid Ikuto!

Utau managed to make to homeroom on time by running, technically she was late but the teacher wasn't in yet so it didn't matter. She flopped herself down in her seat, she still didn't get why everyone thought she was beautiful and elegant, by the way she acted and how much she ate she thought of herself as a clumsy pig. She giggled at the thought.

About ten minutes later the teacher entered. Utau suddenly got ticked off, I could've walked here instead of ran and I would've still been on time. Stupid teacher. Then the teacher began to mark attendance. Utau just sat there patiently as the teacher called out the names.

"Hoshina Utau."

Utau raised her arm but didn't say anything.

"Hinamori Amu…Hinamori-san?"

The teacher called her name a few times before marking her absent. She's a funny girl, one day she's here and the next day she isn't. Utau sighed. Oh well.

The bell rang for first period. Utau got up and moved to her first class, English.

Amu heard the bell ring again when she entered the school building. She knew that she'd missed homeroom but didn't care. She went to her first period, English.

Surprisingly, she was one of the first to enter the classroom. That's a first. She sat down in the back corner in her usual seat. After a few minutes, other student began filing into the classroom. Amu noticed a girl with long blond hair. She's the girl from this morning. Amu still didn't know who she was, and she wasn't about to find out. She wasn't one to pay attention to details.

The teacher followed the students in and the class started.

Amu sat there staring out the window, while listening to the teacher blabber on about something she already knew. She always acted as though she didn't care, but she was ranked in the top five in her grade.

* * TIME SKIP * *

Utau glanced at the clock and smiled to herself. 5…4…3…2…1.

RING!

School finally ended, Utau thanked god for being able to finally get out of that hellhole. Maths was not her best subject; never was and never will be. Utau walked out to the school yard to meet up with her friends. When she exited the building she noticed a large crowd of people, mostly girls, near a tall tree.

Curiosity got to her and she slowly walked over to the huge crowd. She caught sight of one of her friends, Saaya, she pulled her out of the crowd and asked, "What's with the crowd?"

Saaya just rolled her eyes, "Are you freaking serious? You are so slow. There's this new kid. Name; Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Age; 17. He's mega hot, and swoon worthy. His parents own this big company called 'Easter' or whatever, I don't care. I just know he's rich and he's looking for Utau Hoshi- Oh wait, he's looking for you." Saaya gave her an almost unnoticeable glare as she said the last sentence.

Utau sighed and didn't even notice that Saaya was dragging her into the centre of the crowd where Ikuto was.

"Here Tsukiyomi-san, I found Utau Hoshina," Saaya said in her sweetest voice.

One thought crossed Utau's mind, whore.

Ikuto walked up to Utau and hugged her, "Hello Utau. It's nice to see you again," he said in a creepily cheery voice.

The crowd suddenly fell quiet so they could hear the conversation.

"Uh, who are you again?" Utau asked with a smirk that only Ikuto could see.

"Aww, that hurt Utau. How could you not remember your boyfriend." Ikuto said in mock tone as he put his hand over his chest. Then he smirked, one that could beat Utau's any day.

Utau's jaw dropped. What the fuck! The crowed started whispering, "OMG! They're dating?"

She then leaned on one leg and whacked Ikuto across the back of his head, "Lovely joke, big brother."

The crowd then silenced, showing their confusion. Then a few more people joined and went to the middle of the crowd where Utau was. A boy with messy brown hair and emerald green eyes jumped onto Ikuto's back and messed up his hair more than it already was, "Long time no see Ikuto," he said in his usual cheery tone.

A boy with long indigo hair walked over to the two and said, "Kukai, I think that's enough," taking a hint from the irritated look on Ikuto's face. Then Kukai slowly got off of Ikuto and said sorry while rubbing the back of his head.

"Thank you Nagihiko," Ikuto said.

They just stood there in awkward silence, not saying anything due to the crowd who didn't know how to take a hint. This ticked off the short girl with long honey coloured hair. She turned to the crowd which surprisingly got smaller and shot them all death glares, and they finally scattered away. She turned back around and crossed her arms over her chest while her friends stared at her, "What?"

"Nothing," Utau said.

"Hey, let's go hang out at Ikuto's as a welcome back sort of thing!" Kukai suddenly called out trying to change the intimidating mood.

Everyone agreed and started for the front gate, except Utau, "You guys head there first, I need to go get some things from the store, I'll be about 10-15 minutes!" she called out and headed for the side gate.

Utau walked out of the store with an irritated look on her face. Stupid worker kept trying to fucking hit on me. She took out her phone and looked at the time. It's been about half an hour, she said she'd only take 10-15 minutes. She thought Ikuto and the others would be worried so she decided to take a short cut through the alleyway. Once entering, she knew she's made the wrong choice. It was dark and creepy, but she was passed half way now so she might as well keep going.

Boy, did she regret that. A man that looked like he was in his 30's pinned her to the wall on the side of the alleyway, "What's up, want to hang out with me?"

At first Utau thought he was drunk from the smell of beer, but when she looked at his face, he looked completely fine. "Uh, no thanks." She struggled out of his grip but fell to the floor. He frowned and pinned her to the wall once again, only this time he put more strength into it so she couldn't get out. Then he started to molest her. She screamed but she doubted anyone heard her. She tried to move but she was stuck. Dam, he's strong. Utau thought she was going to get raped. She closed her eyes and tried to get herself to lose consciousness, if that was even possible.

Suddenly the man's grip loosened and he was about two meters away. She looked over the other way and saw a girl wearing Seiyo High's uniform with her leg in the air. She figured that the girl had kicked the man, and she was right.

The man was on the floor and about to get up and lunge towards her but the girl walked up to him with her hands in her pocket and kicked him in the crotch. He screamed out in pain as he grabbed his 'part'. The girl turned to Utau, who was still on the floor and said, "Run," then she walked off without another word. Utau looked back at the guy still struggling in pain, then turned back to thank the girl but she was already gone. She had pink hair, I guess I'll thank her next time I see her. The man was starting to get up so Utau grabbed her things and ran back to her house. Man was she going to get scolded.

After the bell went, signalling the end of school, Amu lagged out of the classroom and headed for the school library. It was a habit. She never went there to read, she just liked the peace and quiet; something that she was never able to get at home.

When she walked past the school yard, she saw a big crowd, she wondered what was up, but shrugged it off and left for the library. Once she reached it, the door held a sign that said 'closed'. Dam. Amu sighed and started her way back home. When she passed the school yard, she noticed the crowd was gone. She was curious but ignored it and walked out the side gate. As she passed a store, she saw the same girl from this morning walk out with an irritated look on her face then rushing off in the same direction she was heading.

The blond girl made a turn into an alleyway. Amu started walking faster, knowing that was the alleyway where the teenage girls were getting raped. She heard a scream so she ran. In the alleyway was the girl sitting on the floor getting molested by some guy. Amu walked up to the guy and kicked him on the side. He flew and landed about two metres away. Amu walked up to him as he began to get up, and kicked him in the crotch. He cried out in pain and fell back down. She turned to the girl and said, "Run." Then she walked off.

Once Amu got home, she went inside and yelled, "I'm home." She knew what was coming next, it was a daily routine.

"Onee-chan! Onee-chan! How was school today?" A girl about the age of 5 or 6 ran out and tackled Amu to the floor.

Amu giggled, "Hey Ami, same as always. What about you?"

Ami groaned, "It was soooo boring!"

Amu giggled again, "Where's Mama?"

"She left after she took me home."

"Papa?"

"I dunno."

Amu frowned, her parents were never home. They were always busy with work, she only got to see them on Saturday and Sunday but surprisingly the house was never quiet. Amu loved Ami a lot. She knew that without her she would probably be a depressed teenager.

Back at Utau's house, everyone sat in the living room waiting for Utau to come back. Kukai was pacing the room and Ikuto was getting irritated. The short girl with long wavy hair sat there and read a book, she acted like she didn't care but inside she was worried as hell. Saaya sat there putting on her makeup, she also acted like she didn't care, and truthfully, she didn't. It's been an hour and Utau still wasn't back yet.

Suddenly the door burst open and everyone's eyes flew over to the door. It revealed a certain blond girl. The short girl rushed over to her and gave her a hug, Utau hugged back, but then the girl pulled away and whacked her over the head with the book she was reading.

"Ow! Rima!"

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU? I WAS WORRIED!"

"Something came up," Utau said attempting a smile.

Rima rolled her eyes and they went to sit down. There was awkward silence and a somewhat dark atmosphere which once again ticked Kukai off.

"Hey guys! Since Ikuto's back/new, whatever, let's introduce each other!" He yelled in attempt to break the atmosphere.

"There isn't really anyone to introduce," Utau sighed.

Ikuto scanned his friends and smirked, "Actually yes, there is. Soccer boy, I know. Dancer dude, I know. Shrimp, I know. Candy lady and kiddy king, I also know. Kid genius," he said pointing to each one of them, until he reached Saaya, he paused then smirked and walked over to her. He pulled up her chin slightly so he could look into her eyes, "However, you m'lady, have a new face."

Saaya almost fainted at his touch. Ikuto was expecting Utau to protest about him hitting on one of her friends, considering his background and everything. But she didn't and this surprised him. Was she not a friend?

"This is Saaya Yamabuki," Utau said.

"Oh, okay," Ikuto released her chin and dropped it. He was still wondering was she really Utau's friend. Saaya was disappointed, but she let it go.

The night went on with everyone talking and having fun, except Utau. Saaya was flirting with all the boys and it was making her feel uncomfortable. Utau hated her, she knew that Saaya had tried many times to get her friends to ditch her, but it hadn't work. So now she was trying to get Utau to leave by her own will. Ikuto noticed Utau wasn't talking much but didn't say anything.

Around eight, everyone left, only Saaya remained. Utau wanted her to leave but she couldn't kick her out since she was a guest. Ikuto took a hint and said, "Hey Saaya, maybe you should go too. We'll hang out tomorrow." He faked a smile.

Saaya almost swooned, "Okaay! See you later Ik-u-to-kuuuun!" she said, breaking up his name. This for some reason sent creepy things up his spine. "Bye Utau," she said Utau's name with a hint of disgust in her voice. Just as Saaya stepped out the door, Utau slammed it in her face/back which ever was facing the door and let out a frustrated sigh, "UGHH! I swear I'm going to kill her when I get the chance."

Ikuto went over and sat back down on the couch, "This really isn't going to sound like me at all, but that girl's a whore."

Utau randomly started cracking up. At first Ikuto thought she was crazy until she said, "Great minds think alike."

Ikuto smirked, "So what's the deal with this girl?"

Utau scoffed glad that she has her brother on her side, "Oh the usual. She tried to get the group to ditch me, failed. Now trying to get me to hate the group and leave, which also failed I must say. Flirts with Kukai, Nagihiko, Kairi and Tadase, which isn't at all surprising. And yea, that's preeetty much it."

"Even the kiddy king?" Ikuto chuckled.

"Yeah."

It fell silent for about a minute until Utau spoke up, "Hey Ikuto, want to do me a favour?" she asked with a hint of evil in her eyes.

"Depends what it is."

"I need you to play 'The Heartbreaker' again."

Ikuto scoffed then smirked, "Sounds fun."
