"Sorry...!?" Amu stammered, and the person who was holding her up set Amu on her feet.

Amu turned around, to see a blonde haired boy with red eyes. He was the same boy from the park. The boy's eyes faintly sparkled with unconscious recognition of Amu's eye colour.

Yaya grabbed Amu's hand, "Thanks, but we got to go."

The boy grabbed a fistful of Amu's clothing, "Do you have a sister?" he demanded.

Hikaru raised his eyebrow, and then took Amu's arm, "Do you have a sister, answer the question."

'Ami....'

Yaya shook Amu's shoulders, "Snap out of it Amu! And leave Amu alone... Yes, she has a sister, now go away."

Ren bowed his head slightly to Amu in a respecting sign of the acknowledgement of a death, and Amu bowed her head back in return. Yaya noticed this exchange before continuing, "Amu has one, her younger sister Ami, who died."

Ren's eyes locked on Amu's, "A dead sister? Or a ghost sister now?"

Ikuto walked in to the cafeteria, and was about to select his meal, he looked at the meat selection, the steak and gravy with potato, or ocean trout with green peas, capsicum and mint.

"Ami is dead, drop it."

Ikuto's head snapped up, trying to find the source of the voice, but was only driven to a dead end when the voice ceased to continue.

"Really? How did she die" demanded a voice which came from a similar direction.

"Don't ask." The voice from earlier said.

Amu looked at the blonde boy with red eyes, and smiled, "I believe I haven't asked your name?"

"Tadase Hotori. You might know me, I'm going to conquer the world one day." Tadase said, blushing, before looking at Amu, "You'd make a pretty girl."

"Excuse me!?" Amu said, pretending to be offended, when if it wasn't for her attitude, she would have blushed beet red.

Tadase looked down, "Sorry."

"Hey guys, there's a meeting about the powers." Kukai called out, and Sora appeared beside him.

"Powers? That nonsense, I don't know why you even believe in it. Foolish fairytale stuff, they swear blind magic exists..." Rima snorted.

Ren patted Rima on the head, "Only foolish to you. The powers do exist."

Amu looked at Kukai, "Can I come along?" Amu asked, and Kukai grinned.

"Of course, hey, guess what colour my power is...?" Kukai said boldly.

"Green," replied Amu, without batting an eyelash.

Surprised, Kukai swung around, "Hey, how do you know that, newbie?!" Kukai demanded.

"Tadase's is white." Amu replied, surprising Tadase as well.

Hikaru smiled, and looked at Amu, "You know mine, right?"

"Silver." Amu replied.

Ikuto came up, joining their conversation, "Hey, do you believe the legend? That says a girl with pink power will exist in our school?"

Tadase laughed, "No way, everyone knows girls don't have powers, and there is never a pink power, except in special cases, but even then, never a girl."

Hikaru looked at Tadase, "So you're saying, a girl won't be able to sneak in undetected, and have the pink power?"

Tadase shook his head, "No-

"I believe what I want to believe, and that is, that if there is a will, there is a way. If she wants to get into the school, she could even be able to get in. Nothing is impossible."

Everyone turned around to see Sora standing there, his eyes on Hikaru and Tadase.

Hikaru met Sora's gaze, "Let me tell you something about that legend. That girls power will be so strong, that she will unknowingly bring tragedy with her slightest emotion. If she was annoyed with you, the next day something might happen to you, she could kill you, and not even know she did it. If I ever met her, I would kill her. I would be saving lives that way."

Amu froze, replaying scenes in her mind, the images and memories opening a scar that had not yet healed properly. Her eyes went misty from shock, and everything else was either drowned or blocked out. The conversation

'No! I don't care about any of you. Why'd you have to let Ami have my room!'

'Amu, dear, it's just temporary.'

'Why do we have to go to the airport to pick up your bags, you left them there!'

'Hey, calm down my little sparrow, won't be too long.'

'WATCH OUT!'

'....'

'Ami..? Mom...? Dad...? Anyone...? Why's it so dark..? '

'Call 911, it's a car crash.'

'She's the only one with a pulse.'

'Amu, can you hear me, you were in a car crash.'

'None of this was your fault'

'Amu, this is Sora, your brother, we're your new family, you can call us mom and dad.'

"Amu, Amu!" Yaya said softly, shaking Amu's shoulder.

Amu looked around, she and Yaya were alone in a classroom. It was so quiet, they could hear each other breathing.

Yaya looked at Amu, "You can't possibly be thinking..."

"I killed them..., I killed my family... my mother, my father, my sister." Amu said, horrified, and a bunch of tears ran down Amu's face as she slunk to the floor.

Yaya looked at Amu, whose face was miserable, and Yaya sighed, "It wasn't your fault."

"You don't know that... you could be sitting next to a murderer." Amu hissed, and Amu fingered her hair, and it flowed down to its normal girlish length. Amu fingered her clothes, and it turned into a frilly frock.

Amu looked at Yaya, then she collapsed, "Make me suffer Yaya." Amu said, speaking in a colder voice, but with more of her girlish tone.

Yaya shook her head, and Amu sighed, "Well, I'll have to go ask them."

Amu turned into a cat and ran out of the classroom, only to be caught by a pair of hands. Her capturer laughed, and Amu saw dark blue hair. Her captor was Ikuto.

Ikuto laughed again, as Amu tried to struggle out of his hold, and brought Amu up many different stairs, until she was in a strange room. Amu's ears went flat against her head.

"It's okay, kitty. It's strange, you don't have a collar, are you sure you belong to that Amu boy? He seems protective of you. Does he treat you well?"

Ikuto tilted his head, "If you would talk, princess, I'd be able to hear you. My power among many things has the ability to enable me to understand different languages, animal, or human."

Amu looked at Ikuto, knowing that in animal forms, she could only speak truth, "Please, I'd like to be left alone Ikuto, I learnt some truths I don't like.."

"Animals don't speak like that. Are you a female wielding the power? What colour?" Ikuto asked, and Amu sighed.

"Leave me alone, don't take an interest in who I may be." Amu said once again evading, and Ikuto smiled.

"Your eyes are pretty." Ikuto mused, indicating the eyes, and Amu fumed.

Amu sighed trying to get Ikuto to drop it, "Let me out, my brother will be worried."

"Your brother is Amu, right?"

"I won't answer that."

Ikuto shook Amu, "Who on earth are you? Answer me."

Amu growled, "Let me go.

A cotton rug beside Amu went up in flames, and Ikuto looked at the pink flames with interest.

"So you are the pink power. Knew it." Ikuto muttered, before he realised that the cat was no longer beside him. "Well, the cat can't hide from me anyway. I wonder if she is stuck in cat form via someone's power. That Amu boy could've..."

Amu raced down the hallway, her heart keeping in time, there was a pink flash and pink hair fell to the ground, and her dress changed back into a top, tie, and jeans, and then she was back to being a boy again, and she was racing down the hall.

Sora and Hikaru seemed to be getting along, as they both walked out of the classroom talking with each other.

Amu ran into Hikaru, and fell down, Hikaru smiling coldly above her. "Amu, it helps if you open your eyes."

Amu nodded, and Ren appeared behind Hikaru, "You again?"

Sora extended his hand to Amu, "These are my new friends; Hik-

"We've met." Amu said, and then she saw Ami's ghost walking behind Sora.

'Amu, did those boys do something to you? Should I give them a warning not to hurt you?' Ami asked in a cute voice as she looked at Amu.

Amu shook her head slightly, and Sora, Hikaru and Ren were taken aback.

"Amu...? Can you see something we can't?" Sora asked, and Amu's eyes snapped back to her brother.

"No. Forget it; I'm going to my room." Amu said harshly, and Ren grabbed her arm.

"Listen to me, if you see something that we can't, you should report it."

Amu's eyes opened wider, and she wrenched her arm from Ren's grasp and grabbed Sora's arm, and dragged him down hallways. Ikuto came running round the corner and looked at Sora, "The cat, she's the pink power. She's a girl."

Sora stepped backwards, "How?"

Ikuto snapped his eyes toward Sora, "You know her... you and your foster brother..."

Ikuto stopped his sentence where he was, and turned to Amu and slammed her into a wall, causing a squeal to come out of Amu's lips.

"Where is the cat?" Ikuto demanded, and Amu looked down, not meeting Ikuto's eyes.

"Leave the girl alone... she isn't of your interest." Amu said.

Ikuto squinted at Amu, and then with a hint of shock set in his jaw line, released Amu, his eyes wide.
