Amu:: On to the story

Ikuto:: Moona / Poison does not own us.

Chapter 2 – Die Another Day

~* Amu's POV *~

This is terrible, horrible!

It's… it's… just… wrong!

I showed a bit of my real self to that- that!

Ikuto guy! GAH!

"Ms. Hinamori," the teacher said, "What is m x 56 + 1, 498 when the answer is 1, 754?"

"Psh," I started, "200."

Everyone stared at me. What? That was simple! It's like… sixth grade math!

"Hai, Ms. Hinamori!" the teacher exclaimed. We were no longer in homeroom as you can tell. We moved to math.

The teacher left me alone for the rest of that period. Ikuto was in this class, right next to me. My chara's were being loud and noisy, cheering me on.

"Shut up," I whispered to Ran. She nodded and told the others to quiet down too. Mikoru was staring at Ikuto and Yoru in wonder. Miki stared at Yoru in awe, while Yoru was sleeping on Ikuto's desk. Su was thinking about new deserts to make and Dia was muttering things of the future. I got out my red iPod and put on the song "Die Another Day," by… hm… it seems that I forgot the artist. Oh wait… it's… Madonna! That's it!

I'm gonna wake up, yes and no.

That was the first line.

It made me think of myself and my… parents.

I'm gonna keep this secret.

Another line somewhere in the song.

The Humpty Lock is what I thought about. I stole… well, I didn't steal it I got it from my grandmother who stole it. So, I didn't steal it.

I felt a tap at my shoulder, so I looked up.

It was Ikuto.

"Class is over," he said. I nodded, got up, and walked out of the room. While walking down the empty hallway, I saw my parents.

My adoptive parents.

My real parents died of some unknown reason, but I knew what happened.

Someone killed them.

"Hello, Amu, dear," my adoptive mother said. She had long ugly orange hair and hateful green orbs. She is a really ugly lady, and her name is Hikari Mina. Mina wore an ugly orange sun dress, orange flats, and orange earrings.

My honey gold eyes widened in fear.

"What wrong, dear?" my 'father' hissed at me. His name was Hikari Hojo. He had short unruly black hair and shimmering yet hateful purple eyes. Hojo wore a black suit, and light black dress shoes.

I stayed silent.

Suddenly, my mother's hand struck my right cheek. I held it in pain.

"Answer your father!" Mina shouted at me. I let go of my cheek. I stayed quiet, tears threatening to fall. This time, the back of my father's hand struck my right cheek.

He added my pain and pressure then I could have ever imagined. I heard the loud echoing of the impact. I fell to the floor from the force.

The tears started to flow.

And they wouldn't stop.

I could feel someone watching from the corner. And I didn't stop or yell at them.

I wanted them to see.

Not me crying, I wanted them to see how my so called adoptive parents.

"Amu-chan…" my Guardian Character's cried silently for me. I smiled at them. My mother suddenly kicked my stomach, sending flying into the wall. My eyes widened, and I started coughing up blood.

I'm useless… why can't I stand up for myself?

"You're weak, Amu! You can't even defend yourself!" my mother called. I cried so hard, I thought I was crying blood. My father landed a kick to my face, I stopped moving.

I can't… feel my body…

"Character Change," Mikoru whispered, tears in her honey golden eyes. When my mother came to land a slap on my face, I bit her hand so hard, it almost started to bleed. I heard her cry in pain.

"You little witch!" my father shouted. He tried to land a punch on me, but I slid through his legs, and tried to run, but he grabbed my arm and slammed me into the wall.

I let out a blood curling, eat splitting, bone chilling scream out. It was so loud, it even hurt my ears. Mikoru and I stopped the Character Change, and Ran switched in so that I could run. I ran as fast as I could go. Of course with the help of Ran. Soon though, I collapsed.

"AMU!" I heard someone call out. I waited to see who it was. I felt someone kneel next to me, and I also felt a pair of strong arms pull me up to a hard chest. I opened my eyes a bit and I was surprised. It was Ikuto!

"Amu-chan!" my chara's cried. I smiled weakly at them.

"I'll be f-fine… d-don't you w-wo… rry…" I said before passing out.

"Amu!" I heard Ikuto shout.

Don't leave me here…

Don't let me… die.

*In Amu's Head*

It was dark.

I was tired and weak.

Then… light appeared.

Amu-chan! A voice squeaked.

"A-Ami?" I asked. Suddenly, my bright golden eyed sister appeared. She died along with my parents though…

"Amu-chan!" Ami screeched, hugging me. Her short light brown hair bounced while she ran. I was crying. Two silhouettes of people appeared. Then they cleared. One was a female with dark brown hair and glasses protecting her brown – gold eyes. The other one was male and he had brown hair as well and his eyes were closed, due to him smiling so much.

"Kaa-san? Tou-san?!" I asked in disbelief. They smiled and nodded.

"Amu-chan!" dad exclaimed.

"I'm amazed by how much you've grown," mom admired.

"Mom… dad!" I cried. I held my heart in pain.

"Stop!" I commanded.

"Stop what, onee-chan?" Ami asked.

"STOP LYING TO ME! You all are dead! Gone! You've left me in this world of heart ache and pain!" I cried out. They disappeared and I fell to the ground.

"Why?! Why me!?" I screamed. Suddenly I started to hear the song "Disturbia" by Rihanna.

"AMU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Poison:: Oooooooh, now what could that be?

Amu:: One of my Guardian Ch-

Poison:: Shush!

Ikuto:: -sigh- Review please
