Halley: Hey! So, this is first chapter of "Monster also can love"
Ikuto: Yeah. Make sure it'll be good and have a lot of Amuto.
Amu: NO! Please, Hal! Make it Tadamu!
Halley: Sorry, dear. Can't do. I don't like Tadamu so don't expect me to make one. Unless certairn kitty will get me pissed.
Ikuto: If you say it that way... Maybe I can be less annoying. Only if you write some good Amuto.
Halley: I'll try. Okay, Yoru! Disclaimer, please!
Yoru: Hal doesn't own Shugo Chara~nya!
Enjoy!
Chapter I: First Meet
~Amu's POV~
Ugh... it's starting all over again. Why can't they just stop it? Oh, right. They won't stop until I disappear. It's like that everytime I see them. They yell at me and curse me. They want me to die. But it's impossible. I can't die even if I want.
Some of them tried to kill me but failed. And the worst part of it is that... My instincts took over and... I killed them. I didn't want to but... I couldn't stop this. It... just happened.
Now everyone hate me even more although it seems to be impossible. But it's true. And I can't do anything to change that. I'm a demon. I'm a monster. A heartless beast who is just waiting to kill innocent people. It's my nature. I can't help it. It's just... me.
Sometimes I wish that I haven't been born. You know why? Because even my parents can't stand me. I don't know how is it possible to be a monster when your parents aren't but it doesn't matter. They hate me with their whole hearts. I can't impress them because they don't even want to see me.
And you know what? Even if I don't seem to care, I feel lonely. I'm just sixteen but nobody dares to talk to me. They are too afraid for that. They think that I would kill them if they even came near me. It's... a little sad. That everyone dislike me just because I'm different. But I can't do anything to make them like me. I can just wait for something or someone to find a way to kill me and do that. Everyone will be happy. Me too. Why? Because I won't hurt anyone when I'm dead.
Suddenly I heard a car stopping. I looked out the window and saw a two midnight blue haired men and two blonde haired women coming out from black Mercedes. I don't remember seeing them earlier. Maybe they're new. But that doesn't change anything. Just a few more people to hate me, to call me a monster. They'll be no different, I'm sure. They are all the same. Always...
~Ikuto's POV~
Seiyo. Our new home. I hope we finally can get some rest from that crazy fans of my dad and Utau. And... my fangirls. Yeah, I have fangirls. Actually a lot of them. And I hate them. Why? Because they would always throw themselfs at me and don't let go until my sister do that for them. It's so annoying, believe me. You wouldn't want to be on my place. No one would.
We moved here from Tokio in hope that it's more quietly there. I don't want to go through that again. I want people to treat me like normal person, not like God. I'm tired of being the most popular boy wherever I live. It's so frustrating.
"Oi! Ikuto!" I heard my sister voice. I looked at her, confused. "We are here." And with that she got out from our Mercedes. I followed quietly. I didn't want to talk with anyone.
Suddenly, I felt like someone was watching my every move. I looked around and then... I spotted the most beautiful girl that I ever saw. She was stunning. She had short sakura colored hair and honey golden eyes. Eyes that cause you to melt if you look into them for too long.
When she noticed that I was staring at her, she quickly turned away and disappeared. I was slightly disappointed. I wanted to see her again.
"Ikuto?" I turned my head to source of that voice. It was my monter. "Are you okay? You seem to be lost in thoughts. Something happened?" Eh, she was always worried about me. I couldn't help it.
"I'm fine, mom. Just thought how will it be living here." I grinned sheepishly, hoping to distract her.
"Oh... okay. If you say so." Damn! She didn't believe me!
'Okay, Ikuto... You have to act like always. She's your neighbor. She won't leave so suddenly. You'll just talk to her in school or something' I thought, staring into space.
I then rushed to my new house to help my family with unpacking our stuff. I'll take care of that girl later.
~Amu's POV~
So, this is Tsukiyomi family. How do I know that? Well... You could say that I can read minds. Yes, I can read everything from minds but I don't do that often. Only when I need some information. I don't wanna read their minds when they're thinking about me. It hurts.
Okay, back to real life. This is Tsukiyomi family. Aruto, oldest man, Souko, elder blonde and their children. Ikuto and Utau, I think. Okay. They moved here from Tokio because of their crazy fans. I didn't read more. I'm not interested in their whole life, just why they're here. I have my answer so I can go. I don't wanna be there when they learn the truth.
Usually when people learn that I'm monster, they come here and start to beat me. And I can't do anything because I'm afraid that I'll hurt them if I try. So I try to avoid them as long as I can.
"AMU!" Suddenly I heard my mother's voice. "Come here, little piece of shit!" Ugh... I knew that she would call me like that.
"Coming..." I muttered, coming downstairs. She waited for me in the kitchen. "Yes?"
"We have new neighbors. Stay away from them. I don't want you to hurt more people. They're coming here for dinner. You'll stay upstairs and won't come down until I say so. Understood?" she asked, looking at me with her cold golden eyes.
"Hai..." I murmured, didn't daring to speak louder.
"Good... Now go upstairs and don't show me your ugly face until I call you!" she shouted, pushing me foward. I fell but quickly stood up and went to my room. I didn't want to be beaten again. Anyway, I don't even want to meet this family. They're not different. They'll just want to kill me once they learn who I am.
×Two Hours Later×
They arrived. I looked at them through my window. They weren't wearing too fancy clothes but they looked good. Rich family, I guess.
"So, here we are." I heard muffled voice. Yep, I have good hearing. I can hear every noise in that house and outside. I can hear every whisper. "We know you don't want to be here but we couldn't say no. Maybe they have children in your age so you can talk to them." I guess it's Aruto who's talking.
Oh, I almost forgot. I have little sister, Ami. In past we were close but our parents forbade me to see her anymore. They call me only when she is outside or in her room. I miss her but I don't want to hurt her so I'm not complaining. I think she's downstairs with our parents.
I heard knock and talking.
"Welcome!" It was my father, Tsumugu.
"Good evening, Tsumugu." Huh? They know my dad? Guess I missed this information.
"Please, come in." This time it was my mother, Midori.
Oh. Did I tell you that I look nothing like my family? My mother has light brown hair and golden eyes (it's the only thing we have in common). My father has dirty blonde hair and light green eyes. Ami looks like our mother but her hair is like father's while I have pink locks. Pink locks, people! I know I'm monster but why couldn't I have normal hair color?! Okay... inhale, exhale. I'm calm, I'm calm.
So our families kept talking and I was sitting on my bed, listening to that. I was bored but I couldn't leave that room. My mom locked it in case I wanted to kill that family. Yea... Nothing I can do.
~Ikuto's POV~
Ugh... It's so boring here! Why can't we just go back? There's nothing we can do, so why we have to stay? Damn...
Moment... In this house was that beautiful girl, right? Shouldn't she be here? Hmmm... guess I have to ask.
"So... is Ami your only child?" Nope, it wasn't me. It was my mum.
"Yeah..." Mrs. Hinamori looked nervous.
"What about onee-chan?" asked little girl. Onee-chan? So that beauty is her sister? At least I think she is.
"Ami... Sorry for her. Um... We had other daughter but... she died many years ago in car accident. She would be sixteen now." If that daughter is dead, then who was that girl?
"No! Big sister is not dead! She's in her room!" What? Okay, I lost it. I don't know what are they talking about.
"Ami. I know it's hard for you, but you must understand. Your sister's not here" said Mr. Hinamori. "Gomen. Ami and Amu were close. Nothing could separate them. She was very sad when Amu died. She don't want to understand that her beloved sister isn't here anymore."
Wow... that family is weird. They're talking about their daughter's death like it's nothing. Something's off here.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't ask" said my mother. She felt guilt, I could read it from her expression.
"Um... could we see the rest of house? It seems old and I'm very curious about it."
'That's it! You're a genius, Blondie!' I thought, looking at my sister.
"Yeah. I also want to see it" I said, hoping that we could go away. We both didn't like to see our mother sad.
"Of course you can. Ami, show them around" replied Mr. Hinamori.
Little girl only nodded and walked out from room with us, following her. She showed us everything, including basement and attic. But there was one room that intrigued me. It was locked with two padlocks and chains.
"Hey, Ami. What's in that room? It's locked" asked Utau. I could tell she was curious. Hell, who wouldn't be?!
"It's... my sister's room." Ouch. We probably hit a nerve.
"Oh, right... She died in car accident, right?" I remembered.
"No..." What? "She isn't dead. Our mother hate her, so she say to everyone who don't know the truth that she died. But it's a lie." Okay... I don't know what to believe.
"I can show you." She said, pulling two silver keys from her pocket.
"Are that keys to that room?" I asked.
"Yeah..." she replied, walking up to the door.
~Amu's POV~
Oh, no. Ami wants to bring them HERE. I must hide. But where? Ugh... closet. I can't believe I'm doing that. But I can't let them know about me.
Suddenly I heard opening doors so I used my unnatural speed and hid in closet. I heard my sister's sigh. She knew I was hiding and obviously were going to make me come out.
"C'mon Amu. I know you're here. Come out" she said calmly. Oho, I know what that means.
'Please, don't cry, don't cry.' I begged her in my head.
And then, I heard sobbing. Ugh... She always do that when she wants me to do something.
I know, I said earlier that I'm forbidden to see her but she always come here when night falls. Our parents don't know about it, they would freak out if they found out.
"Don't you love me?" she asked between her fake sobs. But I couldn't resist even if I knew it was fake.
"You know I love you, Ami" I said through door. "But you know I can't show up. They'll hate me. Everyone do. They're no different, Ami. No one beside you can like me, love me..." My voice came out as a whisper. But I know she heard me.
"Amu... You can't be so sure. Maybe they ARE different. You can't hide your whole life, Amu. I know there's someone, who will love you. Even when he learn the truth."
"How can you be so sure? You know them for one hour" I said. I didn't know what to think. Was she right? Or not?
"I don't know, onee-chan. I just am. Please, come out" she pleaded again.
'Okay... only this time, Amu. And then, you'll be able to hide as much as you want...' I thought.
I held my breath and pushed door open...
Halley: So... How was it?
Amu: I don't know... my parents hate me... everyone do... *she is at verge of tears*
Ikuto: Shhh... Don't cry... *hugs Amu* *glares at Hal*
Halley: Calm down, Amu. They will love you. It's only for beginning.
Amu: R-really?
Halley: Yeah, so don't cry.
Amu: *hugs Hal*
Halley: *hugs back, slightly embarrased and blushing*
Everyone: Aww~
Halley/Amu: Mind your own buisness!
Everyone (except Ikuto): *leave*
Ikuto: Ichigo~ Don't you want your kitty?
Amu: *blushes*
Halley: *dark aura* Ikuto... *scary voice*
Ikuto: *slightly scared*
Halley: Better do what you have to or else...
Ikuto: H-hai... R&R or she'll kill me!
Jane!
