Me: So I got bored and made this new story about finding true love and I really hope you guys like it! I'll be updating Saved later tonight or early tomorrow and I hope you enjoy this new story. Feel free to leave a review telling me your thoughts on this new idea and without further ado, here's the story!
For centuries, glass pendants have been given to newborns to help them find their soul mates. On a midnight within the month of the child's eighteenth birthday, they must activate the necklace and it glows until they find their true love, then it turns a completely different color. If the child is to miss activating the necklace, there is another chance on their 21st birthday. The design matches in some ways, but not always. Sometimes, unfortunately, the necklaces do get confused and make you find the wrong match.
"It's a girl!"
Midori Hinamori smiled and wiped the sweat from her brow as she took her first daughter into her arms. Tsumugu Hinamori immediately started to tear up and he snapped a picture of their beautiful baby girl. After cleaning up, the nurses left the room, leaving only the new parents and their daughter. Midori played with the small tuffs of pink hair on the baby's head as her eyes started to get foggy.
"What do we name her?" Tsumugu asked as he stroked his daughter's soft cheek.
"Amu. I think it's perfect."
"Amu it is." Tsumugu agreed and smiled.
"Welcome to the world, Amu." A nurse walked in quietly and smiled at the scene in front of her.
"I have her necklace ready." She stated with a small smile. The new parents exchanged a smile and held onto their necklaces. Their necklaces were a black string with a glass pendant. Both their pendants matched and were tinted light red. Inside the pendant, a little glass flower inside with lace around it. The nurse held up Amu's necklace and slipped it around her soft neck so the cool glass fell onto her warm skin. The black string held a clear glass pendant. Inside was a small glass key with a four-leaf clover on the top.
"Her soul mate is a talented one. One with charm and beauty. She's a lucky one."
(Years Later)
Amu waited impatiently as the clock ticked on. The ticking echoed through the dark hall and so did the pinkette's sighs. Two minutes until midnight, though it felt like an eternity. She twirled her waist-length pink hair around her pale finger as her eyes darted from the window to the clock. One minute now. One minute until her soul necklace could be activated.
"Amu-chan! One minute!" A small voice exclaimed excitedly. A small girl with long blonde hair ran down the hallway and slid next to her best friend, who was eagerly grasping the necklace that hung around her neck. The short blonde grasped her own. Inside the glass were cherry blossoms and polka dots. An odd mixture, but no one really questioned it.
"Rima... I'm nervous." Amu confessed. Her best friend giggled as she hugged the pinkette tightly.
"Everything will be okay. We'll find our true love and live happily ever after!" Rima exclaimed and both pairs of eyes darted to the clock. 3..2..1. A loud bong echoed through the house and both girls took in a deep breath, and performed the small ritual they trained for since they learned to speak. They both held their necklace in their palms for about ten seconds, then kissed the pendant and whispered their names to it. After the ritual, their pendants started to glow an extremely faint violet. Amu sighed in disappointment.
"So we're not close to then at all." Amu said, she had hoped to be with the school hottie, Maximillion Kitamura, but if it was to be, the pendant would glow gold. Gold for within the city. Red for within the state or territory (Depending where you live.) Green for within the country. And blue for within the continent. Violet was a different continent all together. Rima smiled, disappointed herself, but still happy.
"The hints appear in the pendant remember? I promise it'll be fine. We better tell the others in the morning though." Rima suggested. Amu nodded and with one last look at the clock, she headed back to her dorm room with Rima.
(Next Morning)
"Amu-chan!" A girl exclaimed as she bounced on the pinkette. Amu opened her eyes to see Yaya excitedly peering into her eyes.
"You guys did the ritual?! How was it?! What's the color?!" Yaya asked. Amu rubbed her eyes and lifted her pendant from underneath her shirt. It shone violet and the key glowed golden. Yaya's jaw dropped.
"A whole other continent?! Just like Rima-chan?! Wow..." Yaya exclaimed and touched her own necklace. A sunflower and sword shone in her pendant.
"Yeah. Rima and I plan to tell our parents today. What time is it?" Amu asked the brunette, who pulled out her phone.
"Only 10:37. You slept in a bit, but it's summer so whatever." Yaya stated. She eyed her necklace again and sighed.
"I wish I was 18 and not 16. Then I would be able to find my true love." Yaya said sadly. Amu smiled at her young friend and patted her head.
"Soon, darling. I'm going to shower and call Utau. No doubt she's with Kukai. Can you wake up Rima for me?" Amu asked as she gathered a towel. Yaya nodded and went to repeat the process with Rima. Amu quickly walked into the bathroom and started the shower.
(Later)
"Wow really?! A whole other continent?!" Utau questioned as she held the pinkette's pendant in her hand. Amu sighed and nodded.
"Oi! You guys want cookies?" Utau turned to the voice to see her husband with an apron on.
"We don't want burnt cookies, thanks." Amu teased. Kukai huffed.
"They're not burnt, I promise." He retorted and rubbed some chocolate from his tan cheek. Utau rolled her eyes.
"Okay Kukie, we'll have some." She answered. Kukai kissed her cheek, and then disappeared into the kitchen.
"Well I don't have much experience with out of the continent. When I was eighteen and did the ritual, Kukai was next to me and cheering me on. His was already glowing gold. When the activation came, both our necklaces started to vibrate and cling together." Utau said, recalling the moment. She dated Kukai for three years after that, then they married. A year later and Now, Utau is expecting a baby.
"I still haven't told my parents. I think Rima called her's over before she left."
"Well what are you doing here then? Go to your parent's house!" Utau exclaimed, giving Amu a little nudge.
"But the cookies!" Amu explained. As is on cue, Kukai tossed a bag of his homemade cookies to Amu and shot a thumbs up. Amu smiled and ran out the door to her car. She shoved her key into the ignition and pulled out of the driveway, going over what she was going to say.
