Dark Starlight

Chapter 1

Fumiko Hamasaki

The bell rang as King Moron finished his lecture for the day. He was especially hard today, no doubt because that Amagi girl was absent today. He wanted her to have a lot of work to catch up on since she had missed school for a while.

"I expect all your homework done by tomorrow!" King Moron yelled. "No exceptions or you'll get detention!"

The class groaned as the demon known as our teacher left the room. If Satan had ever poured all his hate and rage into one person, it was our teacher, Mr. Morooka. His buck teeth and sadistic smile could have only been the result of the devil himself.

Students began packing things away and getting into groups with their friends like always, and, like always, I got ready to leave by myself. I didn't talk to anyone and no one talked to me. I was used to it at this point, so it didn't bother me.

For some reason I was just the type who didn't get along with people. Even the new kid managed to make friends with people in our class, and he had the personality of cardboard from what I saw.

I saw him talking to Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka once again. Odds are when Yukiko Amagi got back she would start with them too.

Yosuke Hanamura was the other new kid although he had arrived a few months earlier. He still had a city boy look to him with his headphones hanging around his neck at all times and his hair was more styled than most people here in Inaba.

Chie Satonaka was a nice person from what I saw although I also saw her kick Hanamura-kun in his private area so I couldn't be sure. She had her hair cut short and she always wore a green sports jacket so she gave off a huge tomboy vibe.

The new kid who's name I hadn't even learned was also from the city but he was more...plain, I guess. He always had a poker face on and didn't talk to much. He had short silver hair and was kind of tall, at least a bit taller than Hanamura-kun. That was all that was really note worthy of him.

He just didn't stand out all that much, at least he wasn't as noticeable as Hanamura and Satonaka.

I got my bag ready and started to walk out when I heard someone say my name. Keep in mind that only happens when people are taking attendance so I immediately swerved around to see who actually acknowledged my existence.

"Woah!" Hanamura-kun said in surprise to my quick turn around.

"What is it?" I asked trying to not let surprise show. I nearly asked him if he had the wrong person instead.

"Um, I was wondering if we could talk to you after real quick?" he asked as he nudged over Satonaka-chan and the new kid.

"Sure." I said trying to keep my composure.

"Can we talk on the roof, Hamasaki-chan?" Satonaka-san asked me.

"Two people saying my name in one day. Wow." I mumbled.

"What?" Satonaka-chan asked me.

"Nothing, sure, we can go to the roof." I said.

"Thanks, Hamasaki-chan." Chie said with a relieved smile for some reason.

Three times in one day? Was the world going to end?

The four of us walked up to the roof and I tried to think of what they wanted to talk to me about. I couldn't even recall ever talking to them before so I couldn't think of anything except for maybe...oh!

'It must have been about me being on TV the other day. But why would we need to got to the roof for that?' I wondered to myself.

Once we made it to the roof of the school the three of them turned to me with serious expressions on their faces.

"Hamasaki-chan? Have you noticed anything weird lately?" Hanamura-kun asked me

"Weird?" I asked. "Like what?"

"Like, have you noticed anyone suspicious lately?" the new kid asked me.

"Uh..." I said not sure on how to address him.

"Oh, I'm Yu Narukami. Nice to meet you." the new kid said.

"Oh, ok. I'm Fumiko Hamasaki, nice to meet you." I said respectfully. "But I haven't noticed anyone suspicious lately."

"Not anyone?" Yosuke asked. "Are you sure you haven't noticed anyone weird since you ran into those bikers?"

Yosuke was referring to what got me on TV in the first place. I had knocked over someone's bike from a biker gang outside of my father's gas station and needless to say they weren't happy about it. One guy had threatened to run me over with his bike when someone had called the police. It was pretty scary at the time but I had gotten over it. My dad had all but beaten the biker with a gas pump.

I had thought someone would talk to me about it at school but no one had even mentioned it to me, until now anyway.

"No one I could think off." I said. "I haven't seen any of those bikers since the incident."

"I see..." Satonaka-chan said.

"Um, why are you asking me this?" I asked. "No one else has mentioned it so I doubt it's that big of a deal."

"Well..." Narukami-kun said looking at the others.

They both nodded and Narukami-kun looked at me. "We think you're going to be kidnapped."

It took me a moment to process that. "...Come again?"

"We think you're going to be kidnapped, like my friend Yukiko was." Satonaka-san said.

"I'm not following you." I said. "I know Amagi-san was kidnapped but isn't she fine now?"

I may not talk to people but I still overhear gossip on occasion, and from what I had heard Yukiko Amagi was at home now.

"Well, it's hard to explain, but we think you should be extra careful." Hanamura-kun said.

"You must be joking." I said with a little laugh but then I thought of something.

What if they were joking? What if they talked to me because they thought it would be a funny joke? Talking to the girl with no friends and getting her hopes up and just giving her some bull shit reason to talk to her and laugh about it later when she falls for it.

'It wouldn't be the first time someone has done that.' I though bitterly. People back in middle school would pull tricks on me all the time. They thought it was the funniest thing on the whole damn planet.

"No, we're defiantly not joking." Hanamura-kun said.

"Sure." I said with venom in my voice.

"Hamasaki-chan?" Satonaka-chan said.

"I'm going home." I said turning around.

"Wait, are you going to be careful?" Hanamura-kun asked me.

"Sure, whatever." I said. "Now leave me alone."

I left before they could say anymore and I walked home.

"Assholes," I muttered angrily. "When will be people grow up already? Kidnapped? Me? Yeah right."

I muttered angrily to myself even when I got home and went up to my room. My dad ran Moel, the gas station here in Inaba so it was a decent house, mainly because no one else could get gas anywhere else. Unless the new Junes opened a gas station in their parking lot then we didn't have to worry about going out of business. I was fine with Junes and all, but since Hanamura-kun's dad was the manager their I doubt I'd be going.

'Take that Hanamura! Your dad lost one. Whole. Customer!' I thought to myself, as if one customer made a difference.

I sighed and got out the homework King Moron assigned to use. Who on earth could finish five pages for one class along with the rest of their homework?

...

I felt my vision go hazy once more as I tried to stand. My head was still pounding and I could barely see straight. How much time had passed since I had woken up? It could have been two minutes or two hours for all I know, and I tend to have a very good sense of time passing. Sitting in school bored to death is very helpful with that skill.

My vision finally began to clear and I began to look around. The first thing that happened was I was blinded by a bright red light.

Going blind right after I could see again? Of course that would happen, knowing my luck.

I blinked a few times and looked at the ground instead so I wouldn't be assaulted by any more light bulbs.

Looking around it seemed like I was in a club. There was a DJ table that was playing a dance song I didn't know but there was no one at the DJ booth. I seemed to be in the middle of a dance floor with tiles that changed colors from green, to blue, to yellow, to red and so on.

There was a bar with no one around but there were glasses of what I assumed to be alcohol filled and ready to be taken.

There was a stage with instruments and a microphone ready to be used but, guess what? There was no one there either.

I looked around trying to find a single person but there was no one in sight.

"What on earth is going on?" I muttered to myself. I knew for a fact I went home after school, didn't I?

My head suddenly started throbbing as I tried to remember what I did after school. I thought I had gone home but I couldn't remember. I knew for a fact there were no clubs in Inaba though, so how did I even end up in one, let alone a deserted one.

"It's not really much of a party when there isn't anyone around."someone said.

I quickly looked around trying to find the source of the voice but I didn't see anyone. "Who's there?" I yelled at the voice.

I heard a laugh from behind me and I quickly turned around to see a girl in the distance. I couldn't see her clearly due to the lack of lights shining around her but I could hear her voice just fine. It sounded very eerie, as if her voice was mixed with another. It had a light tone to it that was mixed with a deeper more odd sounding voice.

"If you want more people her I bet I could get some people to come." the girl said. "Or could I? I've never been very good with parties, or people for that matter."

"What?" I asked. Why was this even important? I just wanted to know what was going on.

"I think you would be able to relate." she said. "I know your not very good at making friends either. In fact, you've never had a single friend for longer than a week. That's pretty pathetic."

I was getting really annoyed with this girl. "Look, I just want to know where I am. How did I even get here?"

"Who knows?" the girl said. "Maybe you came here after those other kids tried to play a prank on you! Maybe you came here to forget about those jerks and their attempt at a joke."

I suddenly felt my heart drop into my stomach. I started to sweet as I yelled "Who are you, and how would you even know about that?!"

"Oh, I know everything about you, trust me. I know how awful it feels to be alone. It sucks, doesn't it?" the girl said as she began to walk towards me and I stepped back immediately.

"You don't even know what your talking about!" I shouted, trying not to shake.

"I do, even more than you do it seems. What a pathetic waste of space. Do you even realize how annoying you are? Trying to act like you don't care you have no friends even though you get all sad and gloomy when no one talks to you. If that isn't pathetic I don't know what is."

"Shut up!" I yelled angrily. "I don't even know you, so stop talking to me like you know me!"

"But I do know you. More than you know yourself apparently." The girl began to move closer to me and into the light.

When I got a good look at her I gasped in shock, because I was seeing myself. She looked exactly like me, only I was still in my school uniform. She had on a hot pink tank top with blue stars decorating it with torn up jeans and her black hair wasn't in a ponytail like mine, because hers was let down and more wild. She did however, have my face, height, and she was wearing the exact same glasses as me. Another difference I noticed was that she had yellow eyes instead of my dark green ones.

"Now do you believe me?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked in shock.

The girl gave me a wicked grin when I heard strange moaning from behind me. I turned around to see puddles of black sludge seep through the floor. Once some rose higher some morphed into odd spheres with long tongues. Others changed into lions with wrecking balls hooked onto their collars. Others took the form of a man and a woman, but they only had one head in the shape of a heart in between them that was floating in mid air.

They all turned to me and began to slowly walk towards me as I started to shake. They all let out awful groans and moans as if they were in some kind of pain. I fell to my knees as they walked closer to me.

"This can't be happening." I said.

"At least we aren't alone anymore, right?" the girl said.

I felt tears brimming in my eyes as the monsters stalked towards me when I heard a loud bang from the behind them.

"Hamasaki!" a voice yelled.
