Each part will be told from the perspective of Yuki, Amu, Ikuto, and Tadase. There are eight parts (not chapters) I hope you enjoy.

Finding My Would Be Self

Part 1: Yuki, Fitting In

Chapter 1: Yuki Taske

"Yuki, how can you stand to be such a loser?" A girl asked. Yuki Taske tried to avoid any trouble, so she quickly walked to her next class. Yuki went to Lincoln Middle School in Willmar, Minnesota. It was a big school with hundreds of kids who prefer to tease her than to hang out with her. She didn't have many friends and she couldn't find a way to get any. Yuki had long silky black hair and pale white skin. She had crystal blue eyes and was real pretty for a sixth grader. Yuki, however, was extremely shy, timid, and kind, the type guys would die for and girls would hate with a passion. This was her outer shell, though, this wasn't her…

"Yuki thinks she's too cool for us." Another girl sneered. Why wouldn't they just leave her alone? She then felt someone grab her backpack from behind. They pulled then released their hold on her. Yuki crashed to the floor with a loud thud. Laughter surrounded her as she sat up and tried to gather her books. The group of girls passed her but not before one of them kick her stuff all over the place. Yuki flushed, humiliated by being treated horribly, for letting it happen. Yuki was late for math after what happened.

"…now we are not done class. Eight over sixteen reduces…" The teacher was going over the lesson, but Yuki wasn't listening. Math was never her best subject, so she mostly danced off in her own thoughts. She would think how much different her life would be if she could be herself. Yuki wasn't the timid quiet girl everyone labeled her as. They had judged her character way before she could be given the chance to prove who she really was. She wasn't shy and sweet, in fact, she was the complete opposite. The drawback to all of that, however, was that she couldn't be herself when she was overcome by nerves. When she becomes nervous, her mouth rants things by itself. Her character shuts down and it's the outer shell that takes over. Yuki sighed as she tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear.

"Yuki!" The teacher yelled. Yuki jumped in her seat as her classmates snickered. "Pay attention please. Now class, when adding fractions you have to…" There she went again, boring Yuki out of her mind. This was her life everyday and she hated it. Her day went like usual, class, teasing, class, more teasing, class, lunch, and more teasing, yeah that was pretty much it. Yuki escaped her tormenters and exited the school when it was over. Yuki waited for her mom to pick her up. Her mother pulled up and she sat in the passenger seat.

"Hey, sweet heart, how was school?" Her mother asked. Yuki sighed as she clicked on her seatbelt.

"Like everyday, mom…" Yuki told her softly. When they arrived home, Yuki sprinted to her bedroom. She grabbed her favorite cap, put it on and twisted it backwards. She then slumped on her bed.

"I would like to show those girls a piece of my mind!" Yuki cried out loud to herself. They took advantage of her, and most of it was because they were jealous. She couldn't help it, it just happened, she would switch into fake personality mode and make things go bad. It was practically her fault though, if she wasn't too scared of being judged wrongly, then all would've gone smoothly. She grabbed her ipod and placed on her headphones. After a while, Yuki fell into a light sleep, listening to hard rock.

A few weeks later…

Yuki was eating dinner alone with her mother. It was completely normal for them to be alone together. Her father worked for a large company in Saint Paul and was usually never home. She would spent countless days without seeing her father and so treasured every moment she would have with him when she had the chance. Her father was the only person she could be her true self with, but he hardly had time to be at home. Nikki Taske, her mother, looked up at her only daughter.

"Yuki dear?" She asked. Yuki looked up from her plate.

"Yes mother?" Yuki asked. She hoped her mother wouldn't give her a lecture on how she needed friends. It really annoyed her, the only friend she ever had was her pet cat, Mittens, and she was dead for four years. Her mom always worried about her, though Yuki had tried to reassure her, that everyday was okay.

"Your father and I have been meaning to tell you this for a while now." Her mother told her. Yuki waited. "He's been promoted to executive assistant." Yuki saw her mother frown slightly. For Yuki it seemed like great news.

"Wow, mom, that's great!" She explained. Her mother however, frowned even more.

"Yuki, sweet heart, your father is going to be more busy than ever." She explained. Yuki's cheerfulness disappeared. Did that mean she won't be able to spend time with her father at all? That would blow.

"Oh…" Yuki responded quietly. The table remained silent, until her mother broke the dreadful silence.

"The company is working on a project in Japan…since your father is the executive assistant, he will be flying over there next week." Yuki looked up at her mother, startled. Her father was leaving to another different country?

"What? For how long?" Yuki asked. Her mom gave a frustrated sigh as she rubbed her forehead.

"A year, maybe longer…" She answered. Yuki was shocked, a year without seeing her dad?! Yuki looked downcast.

"We talked last night however. He was thinking of taking us to Japan with him." Her mother finished. Yuki's head snapped up. He wants them to go?

"Really?" Yuki asked. She didn't know how to feel, happy, confused, angry. Her mother nodded.

"It's hard to decide and well, since this will affect you too, what do you think?" She asked her. What does she think? She has no clue, but she will be moving from her home. Maybe it would be for the best, she wouldn't be bullied anymore, which was great. The disadvantage to all of this was that she will be going to a whole different school, with different kids to tease her, however, maybe a new opportunity to be her true self. Yuki was playing wither her hair as she stared at her plate.

"I- I want to be with dad…"

************************************************************************

It was agreed that Yuki and her mom would fly to Japan in the following week with her dad. Yuki would start the second semester at the school close to where she going to live for the following year. They were going to meet up with her father at the airport. As they were walking, Yuki caught sight of, Katsuya Taske, her father. Yuki ran to him, glad to see him.

"Dad!" Yuki called as she dodged the people and skipped to her father. She stopped in front of him and punched him on the shoulder. "What's up dad?" Her dad smiled as he grabbed her in a slight headlock.

"Hey squirt, ready to go?" He asked. Yuki broke free from his hold and grinned at him.

"You know it!" She said. She then saw her mom catch up with them. She was clearly out of breath.

"Y-Yuki-don't-r-run like that!" She yelled. Her father laughed as he kissed his wife.

"I'm just glad my two girls are coming with me." Yuki had never been more happy, though she didn't know what was up ahead. The family of three boarded the plane. Yuki walked down the aisle to her seat with her parents following. She took the window seat and let her dad put away her bag. The three were seated comfortably and waited for the plane to take off. Yuki stared out the window. It was mid December, so it was snowing.

"Attention all passengers, we will be taking lift off. Please be sure to have your seatbelts on as a safety precaution." The captain said through the intercom. Yuki felt excited as the wheels of the plane left the ground. She stared out the window of the clouds.

"It will be hard to adjust to the time over there, but we'll manage." She heard her dad say.

"Yes it will since we are used to not sleeping in the daytime. Isn't it a day later in Japan?" Her mother asked. Yuki stared at her reflection, at her outer shell. Maybe, I still can't be my true self, but maybe I can…

Will Yuki ever find her true self? Well keep reading lol. Until next time!
