Welcome To Reality: Preview


She sat still, staring out the window of her mom's family van. Buildings zoomed by along with other cars, random strangers, and obviously fake trees or bushes. She remained silent as her sister, Ami, began bellowing some stupid song.

"And we caaaan't stoop! No we won't stoooop!" 'I wish you would stop.' Amu thought bitterly.

"Now Amu, when we get there I want you to be on your best behavior. Good grades are top priority." Her father continued to ramble on, her focus still remained outside the window at the blurred scenery.


Silence was heard throughout the office as a psychiatrist stared at his victim quietly.

"So how was your day?" he glanced towards this child and saw his lips together in a thin line. "You have to tell me something." Finally, the teen looked up, cobalt eyes staring at this 'genius' wearily.

"They picked on another one. I stood by and watched. The excuses and responses they make are so stupid." He bit his lip, thinking about the girl's tear stained face. "I swear, I just wanted to hurt them somehow, make them feel how she felt…"

"I-I think that's not the way to think Tsukiyomi-san." The doctor pushed his thin framed glasses up, coughing a bit.

"How so?" He mumbled. "They were the ones who harmed an innocent girl. Why? I just don't understand." Eyes that held one emotion stared into the doc's sky blue eyes, striking fear into his very core. In those cerulean eyes was the look of a murderer. His lips curled up into a grin.

"Do you think maybe they want me to get mad? To do something?" The doctor pushed up his thin rimmed glasses and stood up.

"I think that is enough Mr. Tsukiyomi. Your father is waiting outside." He turned to leave, hand gripping the door until a voice stopped him.

"You know you're the seventh doctor my father has hired. He still hasn't told me what's wrong. Isn't it normal to feel hatred, to want someone to pay? You must have felt it before Kairi?" The green haired man snapped his head towards his patient, his baby blues ablaze.

"That is Mr. Sanjo to you Tsukiyomi!" he hissed. "And I have felt anger, hatred, not enough to feel I should punch someone." The teenager stayed quiet and shrugged.

"They tell us not to bully, what do you think we should do 'Sanjo'?" He purred, a smirk gracing his features. Kairi took a single step back, the teen taking two steps forward. "Do you think we have a choice? Do you think we have a chance? What the hell do you think that girl was supposed to do? Take it?" The young psychiatrist was cornered as the Tsukiyomi threw back his head in laughter.

"That's enough Ikuto." The boy stopped his amused cackles and turned his head to the side. There, the door was opened. Standing quietly was his step-father and Utau, his little sister.

"I'm ok Ikuto, really." She gave him a heart-melting smile, one that made all his anger, frustration, anxiety just vanish. His heart beat slowed down and he took a few small strides, smiling at his sister.

"As long as you're fine…" Sanjo studied the two wearily while he watched his step-father walk over.

"So…?" The old man murmured. Kairi took a deep breath and mumbled quietly.

"I believe he is bi-polar, and is agitated quite easily. You should be careful for now." The guardian of the two felt a breath escape his lips, one of exhaustion.

"Thank you Mr. Sanjo." He bowed his head before walking towards his children.

"Ah, will I see him again Mr. Hoshina?" The man turned and smiled a tired smile.

"Just maybe…"


"Here we are everyone, Seiyo!" Getting out of the car was a blessing she had been given. Grateful, she got out of the car and stretched her legs. She eyed her house up and down and gave it a small smile. It wasn't the best in the world, but it would do.

"Where's my room?!" Ami screamed stomping on the ground. The older sister couldn't help but roll her eyes. How did her sister become such a spoiled brat? Her mother said it was simply pre-teen hormones, yet last time she checked, she never acted like that.

"Right next to ours Ami!" The girl squealed, possibly in frustration? Amu couldn't tell exactly.

"But what if I want to get a guy over. Ugh!" She stomped into the house and slammed the door shut, leaving her unpacked furniture outside. The older sister sighed as her mom rested a hand on her shoulder.

"Amu, why don't you start unpacking. You're a big girl now, you can do this right?" Amu grinned widely, of course she could! She nodded, lifted as many boxes as she could and followed her mother's directions to her room.

Kicking the door open, since she couldn't exactly see where she was going, she set them down and glanced around. Upper floor, own little bathroom down the hall, a small closet and a nice balcony. Her grin only grew bigger.

"I've always wanted a balcony!" she screamed in delight, throwing open the sliding doors and feeling the wind on her face. Not five seconds later she slammed and locked the doors. Of course it was winter and she forgot this for a split second. "Fucking freezing out there." She mumbled bitterly.

Not a few hours later, the living room was furnished, the bathrooms were split up, clothes were hanged, and dinner was set out on the table.

"Now, both you girls are heading to the public school. It's kindergarten to twelve so-"

"Mooooooom!" Ami interrupted. "I don't want to go to school with sis, she's such a buzzkill." Amu stayed silent and sat up, setting her utensils down and coughed.

"I'm skipping dinner." Her mother and father looked at her wearily while Ami cocked an eyebrow.

As soon as the door shut, she could hear voices. Dad's angered voice, mom trying to calm down her husband, and little Ami screaming how her life was 'so unfair'. Unfair? What did she know? Amu laid on her bed, eyes fixed to her ceiling in thought. Her eyes looked over to see it was around five in the afternoon. She shrugged, curled up and was soon out like a light.


He sat in the car in silence as the chauffeur drove them 'home'. Did he even have a home? Sometimes he wondered. He eyed his step-father who had and small smile on his face as Utau began talking animatedly about the good part of her school day. He remained silent until his naïve sister began asking him questions.

"How was your day Ikuto?" He smiled at his sister and ruffled her hair, causing her to pout and smack his hands away.

"It was fine. Other than the incident." Everything was quiet until she began talking again.

"Have any homework?" "Yeah."

"Can we play?" "Maybe, depends on how quick I can get it done."

"Can you cheat and then play with me?" At this he smirked. "Most likely."

"Ikuto…" "I'm kidding old man."


DOOOOOONE! "Another story Neko?" YES! And possibly another. Depends if I finally understand what the beginning will be. So real quick, list of ages:

Amu: 16

Ikuto: 17

Ami: 13

Utau: 13 (Readers: WHAAAA? Me: You shall see… -w-)

Kairi: 20+

There we are. Anyway, Kazuomi is not OOC, in my point of view. Let's be realistic guys, he really REALLY cares for his grandchild to be able to do all that. Even this man might have a nice side to him. Not to mention, I think he could be a good fatherly figure to Ikuto. I don't know why, I just prefer him over Aruto. Don't kill me. :(

And next chapter, you'll understand the title. Trust me. At least I think… Don't know, haven't written it yet. Nevermind don't trust me. That's all. R.R.E (Read review enjoy).
