I awoke in the middle of the night to a big bang that echoed throughout the whole city. I got up and went to the window there was a big ball of smoke in the sky but nothing was on fire. There had been a few blasts of light after that but nothing more. I went out on the balcony and sat down. I started to sing "Ave Maria" when all of a sudden I noticed a little glowing thing on the side of the rail.
"What are you?" I said not realizing I said it
"Gaaah! you can see me?" it said.
"Yes. You startled me." I replied.
"I'm Lili I'm a fairy, very few humans can see me" He said.
"Wow but why are you here?" I asked.
"I love music and I heard you singing so I came all the way from the school to hear it" He said.
"Wow who else can see you?" I asked.
"Hino, Kahoko and you." He said. I went back inside and got back into the bed. I didn't want to be tired for my first day of classes. I fell back to sleep quickly started to dream. In my dream I found Cole but he had been turned into a disgusting creature. Not a monster just his personality it had changed he was cold and all he wanted to do was leave. He wanted to go back to the real world but I didn't I just wanted to stay with my friends and have him by my side but when he got irritated he hit me. It wasn't like him at all. Then the guy Tsukimori-kun came out and stood in front of me.
He said "If you lay another finger on her you will never have a life in this or any other world again." Cole looked at me then at him.
"So this is the reason you want to stay. You've fallen in love with someone else" Cole said. Then he killed him self. Then it was over.
I woke up and Momo was already getting dressed. She looked even more stunning today. She had her hair curly and a pink diamond clip in it. I wasn't going to look nearly as good. I put my uniform on then put my hair in half pigtails. I didn't look nearly as good as Momo did. The uniform fit nicely on me it showed off my curves. If my face was different then I'd be beautiful. Too bad my face was like this. I sighed then left the mirror.
"I'm doing good. I haven't talked to Kairi yet. Oh no he doesn't know I've transfered schools!" Momo said.
"You really should call him and break up with him" I replied.
"You're right. But I want to do it in person so after work tonight I'll talk to him."She said.
"Good. I met a guy too yesterday... He plays the Violin too." I said. Momo and I both laughed then we went out to wait for our car to arrive. The man from the day before was assigned to pick us up and drive us home everyday because we lived so far from the school. Momo was getting better at the flute for sure. She had learned another song. My violin was also some thing I was getting better at. The car arrived and we got in. I was getting tired of using crutches to get around it was annoying. The sun hadn't yet come up but we wanted to get some practice time in before our classes started. As soon as we got out of the car the man handed us each a sheet of paper and handed Momo a Gen-ed student uniform.
"You said you wanted to be a gen-ed student" The man said. He walked away.
"Wow Momo thats amazing! Wow Gen-ed! Come practice anyway." I said. She fallowed me to the practice rooms and we walked into the one I signed up for so she could change her uniform but Tsukimori-kun was in there. Momo just left and walked into hers. I stopped in my tracks Tsukimori was right there in front of me and he and I were both blushing. He reached out and touched my hand. I stepped backward then let him take my hand he touched it again then held it as if examining my existance.
"You are real... I thought I just dreamed about you." He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You were in my dream last night, I was saving you from someone who called him self Kira Ito. He hit you and you kept on calling him Cole I told him not to lay a finger on you. Then he killed him self." He said. My jaw dropped.
"That was my dream too!" I said. He looked in awe, so did I but this was really making me feel bad. I was falling in love with Tsukimori-kun.
"I hear you and Adachi-san live very far from the school... If you want you both can stay in spare rooms at my house for the weeks you don't have to stay the weekends. I just thought that you Might like to be closer to the school." He said blushing.
"I'll ask Momo-chan. I think that would be a great Idea."I replied. The bell rang and Tsukimori-kun and I rushed to class. I looked out the window and saw Momo-chan parting with Yunoki-sempai. There was something about that guy I just didn't like but Momo was head over heals for him and he seems to have taken quite a liking to her too. Tsukimori and I sat next to each other in class. The morning kind of drug on because it was my first time being to school in days. The lunch bell finally rang and Tsukimori and I parted so that I could meet Momo in the center courtyard. Where we had planned to meet for lunch. I walked down the hall toward the door to the outside courtyard. I saw Momo standing by the tree. She looked up set more angry then any thing so I went up to her.
"Momo whats the matter?" I asked. That was her Sae did it again face.
"Sae transftered in to the Gen-ed section! She fallowed us yesterday!" Momo said.
"Momo-chan! Mitsuko-chan! Over here!" Sae screamed. I was mad. Sae was going to pay for what she had done yesterday, and it wasn't going to be pretty. I wasn't going to fight her because I liked this school so I was going to challenge her to a play off. Me against her in an instrument battle. Since she didn't play I was going to get to choose her instrument. I wouldn't be too mean I was going to choose one that suited her personality with a fierce sound that was beautiful but vengeful.
"Sae! I challenge you to a competition with instruments. Since you don't play yet I will help you pick one out then give you two weeks to learn it! If I win you leave Momo alone if you win I owe you my services for one week." I said. Sae looked defeated she knew she couldn't win.
"I accept!"Sae said. She couldn't turn down a challenge. She ran over until she stopped in her tracks when she saw Yunoki-sempai. He walked right passed her and over to Momo who linked arms with him right away they walked away looking amazing together. Hino-chan came over to me and sat down. I was still in shock at how beautiful Momo looked beside Yunoki-sempai. I took out my phone and called Momo.
"Momo I got an offer for both of us to move in with Tsukimori-kun so we can be closer to the school... Should we accept?" I asked. The look on Hino's face was very sad looking.
"Yes that would be great"Momo replied. We both hung up and I looked at Hino-chan.
"He must really be in love with you to do that. He's never that kind" She said. Tsukimori walked up behind her as she said it.
"So thats what you think of me Hino? I'm cold."Tsukimori said. A guy with dark green hair and darker skin came and took her away leaving Tsukimori and I alone. He touched my face gently then leaned in and kissed me. I blushed and kissed back. It felt like time had stopped this was different than what I felt for Cole. It was at that moment that I realized I was in love with Tsukimori. I didn't believe in love at first sight until this moment. At the moment I realized I was in love with Tsukimori, Cole walked out from behind the tree.
"Kira!" Tsukimori said.
"Cole!" I said.
"So this is how you show your love for me? By kissing HIM" He said.
"Cole... I..."I paused.
"I just want to take you home. Lets go."He said as he took my arm.
"No, Cole I like it here I've made so many friends and I don't want to go back." I said.
"So is it that you don't love me any more?"He asked. I just looked down.
"So it is... why? These last few days I've had a terrible time. My family here is too tough on me and you are being selfish" He said. He spoke with such a harsh tone.
"It doesn't have to be like this Cole... No Kira. In this world I have no parents they died. My only friend at first was Sae a back stabber then I made friends with Momo and others. There hasn't been a second I haven't thought about finding you but I wanted to get my life together first. But you've become Cold and heartless. Come back to me when you get your old personality back. I will not let you or any one come between the one thing I love the most. My Violin, my friends and my happiness. So good bye for now." I said. I was about to turn around when he slapped me with such force that it knocked me over. Tsukimori Grabbed his hand before he could do it again.
"Lay another finger on her and you will NEVER live in this or any other world ever again. Got that?"He said as he twisted Cole's arm around. Cole winced in pain then ran off. Tsukimori helped me up then checked my hands to make sure I didn't hurt them. He looked over my face where the bruise was was bleeding becaukise I had scraped it on a root of a tree. The bell rang to go back to class so Tsukimori escorted me back to class. When we sat down he took out a band-aid from his pocket and put it on my cut. The whole left side of my face was bruised because Cole hit me so hard. The afternoon went by quickly and as soon as the bell rang I went out to meet Momo.
"What happened Mitsuko-chan!" Momo said looking at my face. I looked down at my feet.
"Cole... The person I was looking for when I came here. Found me and he came at the same moment Tsukimori kissed me. I wouldn't leave with him so he hit me so hard he knocked me down and I scraped my face on a tree root."I said. Sae met us at the gate so I could help her choose an instrument. The car dropped us off at the mall early for work So I took Sae and helped her pick out an instrument. We picked the trumpet then we picked out a rather simple piece "Gavotte" that we could both play. It was the piece I played in my first concert. Sae left and I went to work. They had me cover up the amount of bruise that was showing with cover up. Momo and I put on our uniforms. We looked like maids but the out fit was pretty. When we got off Momo and I parted ways when she met up with Kairi.
When Momo got home I was packing my bags to move in with Tsukimori-kun. She was crying so I just thought she broke up with him and he took it hard and got up and sat on the bed. I patted the spot beside me.
"Momo-chan what happened? If you're crying this much something more must have happened." I asked.
"I went to meet him and he showed up holding hands with Sae. I asked him why and he showed me a picture that Sae took at school. It was of Yunoki-senpai wiping my tears away at lunch. Then he showed me the other one that she took. The picture was of Yunoki-senpai sucking on my finger to stop the bleading and clean it off before he put the band-aid on it." She sobbed.
"Lemme guess he wouldn't listen because she had given him the proof" I said. She sobbed some more then threw her pillow at the wall. Then she packed and went out on the balcony. She took out her flute and started playing a really sad song.
"Momo-chan... You're improving on your flute playing. Just think about how much fun you're allowed to have now" I said. She laughed at my pathetic attempt at cheering her up. I was never good at that because other than Cole I'd never had any friends before.
"Thanks. How come Cole changed so much?"Momo asked.
"I really don't know. Maybe it's because he knows we ccan't go back to the way we used to be. I'll tell you the whole story." I said.
"Okay please do"Momo replied.
"Well I apparently have two lives one here and one in another world. In that world Cole and I were in love. We had just gotten together but then his parents said they were going to move to Germany. We decided that the best way to preserve our love would be to die. So we went and killed our selves, by getting hit by a bus. The thing is because of this world where we have alternate lives and bodies we came here. Now nothing can be the same now because I don't want to leave." I said.
"Wow thats amazing" She said.
"I'm glad I ended up here. Here I'm so popular I've made so many friends. But back home I had only one friend... who is now a jerk" I said as I smoothed my hair back.
"I'm going to go get a bath 'kay?" I asked. I didn't want to just go and leave her when she was feeling bad.
"Yup! Go on ahead I'll be out here practicing this new piece" She replied. I went and ran the bath then got in the hot water stung my cut a bit but other than that it felt really good. While I was in there I thought about the kiss between Tsukimori-kun and I. I still quivered when I thought about how I liked it so much and how it felt like I was on a cloud like when I'm playing "Ave Maria" on the violin like I'm in a whole new place just me and my violin. Thats how I felt when he kissed me, like we were the only two people in the whole universe. I got out of the bath and went back into Momo's room. After I got dressed my phone started to ring. It was Okayasu.
"Momo its Okayasu!"I said.
"Answer it. See what he has to say."She replied.
"Hello?"I said into the speaker. I flicked it to speaker phone so Momo could hear what he had to say.
"Hey, Mitsuko, its me Kairi..."He paused. How dare he call me by my first name.
"What did you need?" I asked.
"Come and meet me at the cafe Momo and I broke up and I need someone to talk to." He said.
"Sure, I'll be right there" I said. I hung up.
"Momo come with me and hide in just around the corner so you can hear whats going on" I said. We gabbed our purses and left. The cafe wasn't too far of a walk, Momo had Sae's brown wig in her purse and put it on just around the corner from the cafe she also had a pair of fake glasses that we bought at the corner store on the way there. I went in first and sat down with him. He had ordered me a smoothie. Momo entered next and went and ordered some tea.
"Mitsuko, I'm so glad you could come I'm just so upset I need someone. Lets get your smoothie to go and talk at the park ." He said. He got up and got the cup and got my smoothie put into a plastic one. We left and went to the park. Momo took the long way to the park so it didn't look like she was spying. Kairi leaned in an kissed me. I pushed him off of me and dumped my smoothie over his head then hit him with my bag.
"Okayasu! How could you! Momo is my best friend and just so you know she wasn't cheating on you. Yunoki was comforting her because she cut her finger!" I tried to run forgetting about my leg and fell Momo came running. She helped me up and picked up my crutches.
"Okayasu! How could you do that to her!" Momo said. She took the fake glasses off and threw them at him. We were trying to make our way back to Momo's house, not having much luck when a big black car drove up. Someone stepped out and opened the door. The next person to step out of the car was Yunoki-senpai. He looked amazing in his plain white suit.
"Adachi! Yui! What happened?" He asked.
"Some guy tried to kiss me. He called me and said he broke up with his girlfriend and told me to meet him here so he could be comforted then he kissed me" I said.
"Its true I fallowed her to make sure she didn't get hurt." Momo said. He led us into his car and drove us to Momo's he came upstairs with us to get our stuff then drove us to Tsukimori's house. I called and made sure it was okay first. Tsukimori was waiting at the door for us. He looked so amazing. He was wearing just a pair of silk pajama pants with a towel around his neck his hair was wet and dripping. His house was huge no wonder it was okay to stay there. Momo and I stood there in shock.
"Come on in girls." Tsukimori said as he took our bags. The only things he let us carry were our instruments. He showed Momo to her room first. Then me to mine. Mine was twice the size of Momo's. The bed was huge, it had a pink silk looking blanket covering it. I sat my Violin down beside the bed then sat on the bed. Tsukimori came over and sat down beside me. His face turned really red.
"Yui... May I please call you Mitsuko-sama?" He asked.
"Yes of course, Tsukimori-kun" I replied.
"Call me Len" He said as he put his hand on my face.
"Len... Sama... " I whispered. He leaned in and kissed me again. This time he pushed me back onto the bed and kept on kissing. I kissed back. Then we stopped when we heard Momo calling my name. Momo came in and sat on my bed on the other side of me.
"Can I sleep in here with you tonight?" Momo asked.
"Sure" I said. Momo left and went to get her pajamas and Len left too. Momo came back in and I set my alarm clock then we went to sleep.
