BR: EEEPPPPP!
Amu: What?
BR: You'll see Amu…hehe
Amu: 0-o I'm scared. I'm glad she doesn't own Shugo Chara!
BR's Rant time!
Dear readers,
I am actually pretty young (not to mention short) and have enjoyed anime since I was 10. I have…an obsession of sorts, though I don't actually tell people I watch anime. They all assume I don't.
Currently, I am in LOVE with Shugo Chara, and love writing fanfics for it, all though I never publish them…oh, well. I hope you enjoy….DEMON BRIDE! J
CHAPTER 1
The Calm Before the Storm
Europe. New school. New town. And new friends. It all seemed like a dream. But it was real, and she knew it.
Amu Hinamori had moved from japan to Paris in Europe, and now attended a new school. Yeah, she missed her old friends the guardians, but she couldn't help but enjoy her time with these new people she met.
As she sat in class, she stared out the window and waited as time ticked by. After school, her and her new friends were going shopping and then to a new sweets cafe! Eep!
When she first moved here, she became more like her true self, and had a lot of confidence. Because of this, her Charas disappeared. But Amu knew they were inside her soul, and she had become who she wanted to be.
Finally, the bell rang.
She jumped up and packed up her backpack, then turned to her friend Suzie. Suzie was the first person to be her friend, and they got along greatly.
"Amu! I can't wait for the sweets!" Suzie exclaimed, totally eccentric.
Suzie had short brown hair in a side ponytail and big blue eyes. She wasn't the prettiest of people, but Amu found her presence very comfortable and fun. Here, people called her the Breeze queen, because she so go with the flow.
(A/N there is no uniforms some paris schools!) She wore a brown tank top with a white cardigan and white jeans, despite it being a warm spring day. She never seemed to sweat, no matter what temperature. She also had black sneakers on.
Amu smiled, and grabbed her hand and started pulling her to the exit.
"Me too! Now let's go get Mimi or else she'll get mad!" the girls ran and ran until they got to the classroom across the campus, and they huffed with their hands on their knees when they finally finished running up the staircase.
Their school, Saint Katherine's high has three buildings. The first one was the Main building, were the main office, PE locker rooms, staff break room, staff offices and art classroom was. It was 4 stories.
The second building on the right side was the Bud Building. It's where normal students have classes and some electives. It was 3 stories
The third building was on the left side, the Bloom Building. It's where honor students go for their advanced classes and advanced electives. It too, was 3 stories.
In between the buildings is a giant lawn with lots of pathways to each building, and behind the Main building is the gym and track and field course.
Since Mimi was in the Bloom building, Amu and Suzie had to run to get there. Oh, and one thing about Mimi is that she absolutely HATES it when people are late.
"AMU! SUZIE! Your LATE!" Mimi screeched as she raced up to her friends and hit them on their shoulders.
"GOMEN MIMI!" they yelled, trying to get away from the hold Mimi had on their shirts. Finally, after Amu and Suzie promised to buy her desert, she calmed down and went back into her 'calm and cool' self.
Mimi was super pretty. She was known on the campus as the Ice Queen, and revered for her academics and looks. Wearing a black t-shirt and dark blue vest, it showed off her growning figure, especially with her light blue skirt and matching white sneakers.
She had long dark blue hair in a fishtail braid, and blue as the sky eyes. She has soft features and big cheeks, but it makes her seem younger than she is, even though she acts like an adult.
"Fine, let's go. Mira will be mad if we don't get to her classroom" Mimi briskly turned away and speed walked down the hall, leaving the pinkette and brunette sweat dropping behind her.
When they reached the room, they saw her. Mira was undoubtably one of the prettiest girls in the school. In fact, the school ranking of pretty girls was like this:
Sophie
Mira
Mimi
Amu
Callie
Suzie
Yes, Amu is #4, because she was 14, a freshman, and totally cute! Mira turned to her friends, and walked over to them, a giant smile plastered on her deeply tanned face.
Mira had crimson red hair held back by a black headband but was still wild and untamed. Her deep brown eyes looked like melted dark chocolate. She had on a red tank top and black long skirt that went to her knees. She had a chain link belt that looped around her waist three times than fell a little before the end of the skirt. Her black leather short sleeve vest had a red rose on the back, and her black combat boots went to her ankle.
She looked like a feisty bad ass, and she was one. That's why people called her the Fire Queen.
With sharp angles to her face and soft eyes, high cheek bones and all, it she could truly beat Sophie in looks if she wanted to.
"Yo! Are we ready to kick ass and shop!" she exclaimed, punching the air with her fist. People looked at her and smiled, used to her attitude that never seemed to change.
"Yeah!" Amu agreed, sweat dropping at her red haired friend's antics.
"Well then, Flower Queen, les go!" she said, teasing Amu about her nickname.
Amu had changed a lot too. Her hair was longer since she got her, because she hadn't cut it since she started 8th grade with her old friends in japan. It was now to her middle back, and she had random little cute braids here and there, tied at the ends with little hearts, spades, clovers and diamonds.
Her eyes held warmth and love, like a summer day. She had grown taller, now about 5'5, and her, uh…'assets' had grown considerably also. She wore a green thick strapped tank top with a white and green plaid mini skirt. She had on her feet white toms and white bangles dangled on her wrists. She developed a love for the mixed colors of white and green, and because of her kindness and how she looked, (green outfit=stem and pink hair=bud) she was dubbed the Flower Queen.
She blushed and looked like a rose as they walked out of the class room together.
As they left the school, people stopped and stared at the beautiful Queens as they laughed and walked out of the gates and down the street toward the city.
Reaching their destination, they shopped and shopped, just like they said they would. Ending up at the pastry shop, they in and ordered some cakes.
They sat at a table and gossiped about school and the latest trends. Every one in the shop looked at the girls with enjoyment, like their very presence was comforting.
"I'm just sayin' Amu! You should get a boyfriend! Or at least a crush. You could have any guy if you just winked at them!" Mira shouted, rolling her eyes when Amu told her to quiet down.
"well, it's not like I don't want a boyfriend, but I, uh, had a guy back in Japan that…well…" she blushed like a tomato and lowered her voice to a whisper "said he loved me everyday. I guess you could say we were dating when I left…but at the same time there was this…older guy that I liked a lot…and uh….he um…said he also liked me" she admitted blushing harder when Mira and Suzie were smiling like pervs at her when she looked up.
Mimi, like her title, was emotionless and looked cold, even though her eyes said that she was amused.
Mira scooted closer to Amu (Mira and Amu sat side by side on a booth, and Mimi and Suzie sat on chairs) and wrapped an arm around her waist.
She leaned in close and whispered something in her ear, which caused her to go the color of blood and literally glow, before hitting the red head on the arm very hard repeatedly.
They laughed and joked through the sweets and tea, until the bill came. And suddenly, everything went to hell.
"I don't have money"
"Me neither"
"Nor I'
"Whoops we are soooo screwed" They all eyed each other, then Mimi said the unthinkable
"Amu's gonna have to sleep with the manager"
"No way! I'm not going to lose my virginity!" Just then, the waiter came back, totally unaware of the conversation being taken place.
"umm…Mr. waiter?" Amu said, batting her eyelashes "We ran out of money, but I'm sure that I can do some work or something to pay it off, right? Oh! I know, I'll sing a song, Ok?" she talked fast and charmingly, and the poor boy nodded his head along, unaware of what this pretty girl was actually saying.
Luckily, the restaurant had a stage, and Amu and her pals made their way there.
Mimi grabbed the electric piano, Mira the guitar, and Suzie the drums, leaving Amu to sing.
They started the song, and every one turned to watch the girls.
OPENING TO DN ANGEl
Amu, All together
Darkness of White
You can through the sadness take
Your flight
And become the wings
That pierce this veil
And spreading strong true tonight
Brought into the light at last
By the cold exposing sun
I was granted freedom
Tamed to become the chosen one
Throught the mirror,
Night reflected miraculous to see
My soul threw away the mask that hides
The deeper me
Breaking the dark of night
Piercing through the painted white
Cut it all away
From yesterday
Till a new eras in sight
Unlock the heart within
Let it spread its spread wings and soar
Rising up in flight
Through the night of white
And fly on forever more
Everyone sat there, stunned at the beautiful melody of combining instruments and the pretty girl with the voice of an angel, who obviously wrote this song that no ones ever heard before.
Then, they clapped and cheered loudly for the girl band, who waved and smiled (except Mimi, of course). Then, when everyone turned away, smiling contently and eating their various sweats, the girls got off the stage and grabbed their stuff, about to leave when the manager came over and stopped them.
"Girls! You're great at music! Hey, how about you all preform here every week? In return you can eat as much sweets as you want! And $10 each" They smiled and agreed, learning that they would preform every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
They chatted about the job and finally said goodbye, going their separate ways. Amu found herself walking home in the direction of the school, enjoying the calmness of sunset.
The calm before the storm, that is.
