Another Life Ch. 2: I'm here…
Amu's P.O.V.
The car slowed to a stop in front of a huge house. 'The Tsukyomi House', I thought. At the door stood a girl who looked a little younger than me, with long, soft blonde hair and violet eyes. "Ohiyo, Utau!" I said, for it was she. Her eyes lit up when she caught sight of me. I braced myself as she came running towards me, but of course she was gentle or she would've knocked me off my crutches! Her mother, who stood next to her, smiled gently and said, "Everything is going to be alright now, so don't you worry." . It's always been like that. Utau looks up to me like I'm her big sister, and her mother is always trying to make me feel better. Before the thing and I had the fight, we were in a somewhat peculiar situation. All that he would say to me is 'Strawberry', and all that I'd say to him was 'Neko-chan' . After the fight, we talked, but very rarely. We mostly throw insults at each other, now. So, back to reality. Souko nee-chan (She lets me pretend that she's my big sister) told Utau to show me my room, and she led the way. She didn't mind helping me up the stairs, you know, with my fracture and all. Luckily, I was going to have it removed tomorrow. When we came to my room… I don't even know where to begin! The walls were light pink and silver flower designs covered them. There was a white desk set on the right side of the room with a pink swivel chair. To the left, was a bed with a pink blanket, a white frame, and pink and silver arranged pillows. There was also a white balcony straight ahead, and on the balcony were two sofa-chairs (I don't know what you call those) , one pink with a silver cushion, and another silver chair with a pink cushion. Utau must have seen the look on my face, because a few seconds later, she was dancing around my room saying how happy she was that I liked it! Then she told me to make my self at home, and ran out the door. I decided that I would play Yamato-chan's guitar, to let her know that I never stopped thinking about her, even for a single second. So I sat on the balcony, on the pink chair, and took out my guitar. I decided to play 'When You're Gone' , a song that I wrote last night before I fell asleep. I started,
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your sideWhen you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing tooWhen you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss youI've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you doWhen you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing tooAnd when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss youWe were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeahAnd all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeahWhen you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing tooAnd when you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you
Ikuto's P.O.V.
I lay in my room, thinking, 'Why do I have to fight with her?' I don't even know why we fought. But, I fractured her leg! She probably hates me, so I've got to pretend I hate her too.' Just then, I heard music. Wait, music? I crept towards the source, and was very surprised to see Amu playing the guitar and singing! I only herd the second half of the song, though.
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing tooAnd when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss youWe were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeahAnd all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul

The face I came to know is missing tooAnd when you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through

I miss you
Then I went back to my room to think.
Amu's P.O.V.
By the time I finished the song, tears were rolling down my cheeks. Unfortunately, at that very moment, my phone rang. So I wiped away my tears as quickly as I could and answered, "Hello?"
"Hi Amu-chan, are you okay?"
"Nadeshiko! Hi, and don't worry, Yamato-chan wouldn't want me to cry now would she?"
"That's the spirit Amu-chan! So anyway, I was taking a walk since there was nothing else to do, and I found this poster that… oh! You know what? I'll just tell you at the mall! Rima, Yaya, and I will be waiting in front of the Accessories Store, the one across the street form the mall. So, are you in?"
"Sounds great, but do you mind if Utau comes along with us?"
"PERFECT! I was going to ask you to bring her anyway! I'll see you in 20 minutes, so bye!"
"Yeah, I got it. Bye!"
*Both hang up*
I walked downstairs to the kitchen, making sure to close the door on my way out. I found Utau there, drinking apple juice, and her mother was washing the dishes from their last meal. I asked, "Ne, Utau…" "What's up?" she questioned. "Do you want to go to the mall with Rima, Nadeshiko and Yaya? Nadeshiko said she had something to tell us, and she asked me to bring you as well. If you're coming, ask for permission from Souko nee-chan first." "Are you kidding! Of course I'll come if your going! I've been meanimg to buy some new flats anyway! I'm going to go upstairs to get ready. Could you ask mom for me?" So I did, and when Utau came back down, we left for the mall. We arrived at our meeting place to find the three girls waiting for us. Well two girls were waiting for us. Yaya was running around the shop. "Hyper as usual, I see. And then we all went into the mall and sat in one of the cafes. "Ne, Nadeshiko why did you call us here?"
"Yeah." The rest of the girls chorused.
So she said, " Well, there is going to be this band competition at the end of the year where the winner gets this awesome prize and-"
" So hold up. If it's at the end of the year, then why are you telling us now? And what do we have to do with a band competition anyway?" I said.
She replied, " Well, you know how to play guitar and sing, I know how to play keyboard and bass, Rima also knows to play bass, Utau also knows how to play guitar and Yaya can play drums, no? "
" So?"
"So, we can make a band! But there is one very important rule in the band competition."
"And what's that?" Utau asked.
" You have to disguise yourself and choose fake names. Then, when the competition is over, you reveal your true identity. "
"AWESOME!" We all said.
" So, let's go shopping for wigs, costumes and contacts!"
So we left. And when we finally finished, we looked like this:
I had on a light brown straight wig that reached till mid-back, blue contacts and a lavender full sleeved shirt with the words, 'You Can Shine if You Try' written in blue letters across the back with denim skin-tight jeans and blue converse.
Nadeshiko was wearing a shoulder length straight blonde wig with chocolate brown contacts. She sported a white shirt with short, puffed up sleeves and a short black skirt with white tights and black slippers (go to link: ./imgres?imgurl=.&imgrefurl=.com/2008/velcro-mary-jane-back-to-school-shoes/&h=500&w=400&sz=69&tbnid=Jr0VE3qH4N-o9M:&tbnh=130&tbnw=104&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dgirl%2Bschool%2Bshoes%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=girl+school+shoes&usg=_OzjZEUCI7dhgT7xh3RQke6RJMtI=&sa=X&ei=QWjGTfHUH4jNrQfU0YHBBA&ved=0CFcQ9QEwCQ those).
Utau had a wavy, black wig that reached until mid-thigh and didn't wear contacts. She
had on a baggy dark blue shirt with only one strap on the left side. She wore denim skin-tight jeans and dark blue converse.
Rima had a straight black wig that went down to the middle of her back and the curled a little inwards. She was wearing a red tank top with a magenta short-sleeved mini-jacket, soft pink pants and pink converse.
And Yaya, well, she wore a dark blonde wig and blue contacts, like Amu, as they were supposed to pretend to be sisters. She wore a blue, full sleeved shirt with the words, 'Dreams Can Become Reality With Effort' written in lavender. She also wore skin-tight denim jeans and lavender converse.
