Recap:
Utau's POV:
I looked over at Amu after hearing those words and she looked like she was about to explode. I had trouble keeping my laugh, her face was priceless. She's dealt with a lot of things along the lines of this but when it comes to her family... oh boy, whoever ran her over is in for it nowwwwwww! Whoever it is better watch their back!

(Back to the story)
I looked over at Amu once more, she calmed down and was smiling sweetly. Or so... it seems. I can read her eyes, her eyes are in desperate need of help. Let's see... oh gosh, I sound like a fortune-teller *Mentally facepalms* I sound so stupid at the moment, TMI, TMI! SORRY! I really shouldn't be telling you this... what's with me in this story? AUTHOR! YOU FORGOT TO MAKE ME ACT NATURAL! UGH~~ AHH! Just forget it!

Amu's POV:
We've already been here for an hour, the only thing i've done so far is stare. I just stared at her, tears forming at the brim off my eyes "I... gotta go, I'll be back tonight, to spend the night. As... Amu, not as Dia. I'll be back, you can count on it" I mumble
"Doubt it" Utau scoffs
Chiyo giggles "I'll be waiting"
"I better be going too, you need to rest up a bit" Mai shrugs "I might be back tonight but I'll definitely be here tomorrow"
Chiyo giggles again "Okay" she leans back in her bed and closes her eyes
"C'ya" Mai waves, Chiyo unconsiously waves back and grins "C'ya"
I smile at that and laugh "I hope you feel better soon"
Utau frowns and growls mumbling to herself, I can only make out a few words "Stupid drivers, know better, thinking, idiots"
I just think to myself 'Should I just come out and say that I can't go out on a date with him because I'm really Amu Hinamori to that Tadase guy? I really like that Nagihiko guy but it seems like Rima's already into him' I giggle at the thought because Rima totally despised him
"What?" Utau looks at me funny
"Oh? Oh! Heh, nothing in particular" I shrug
She smiles a stupid looking embarrased grin and laughs nervously "O-Okay?"
"We're leaving, Mai" I sigh
She runs up to me with puppy dog eyes "Can I go to the studio with you?"
"I'm sorry, but you can't" I shrug
"Fine, then I'm gonna have to tell everybody that you're Amu Hinamori" She stared at me with half lidded eyes
my eyes widened but then I shot a glare at her "Then I'm gonna have to tell all your friends that you still wet the bed... for a 14 year old"
"Too bad, cause I have proof" She smirks
"Then I'll sign you up for summer school" I smirk back
Her eyes widen as I said that "Fine"
I smirk, Utau just blinks "So... no school for you... got it"
Me and Mai both laugh, Utau pouts "C'mon, Amu! Pwease let her come!"
I turn away "Only if she agrees to not touch anything and not make a scene"
"Otay!" Mai agrees childishly
I roll my eyes and step outside. The car... WHERE'S MY CAR?!
"What are you upset about?" Utau stares at me dumbfoundedly
"If you were to look there then you'd know. I guess we'll have to walk to the studio" I sigh
"Cawwy me!" Mai puts her arms up
"No, walk on your own" Utau growls
She felt a tick on her forehead and whined "Meanies"
x-x-x-x
We ran through the doors and to the elevator bumping into someone, I fell down rubbing my head as she does the same thing. She quickly gets on her knees and bows "I'm sorry!"
"No, it's quite alright" I laugh as she helps me up
"Nadeshiko?" I could tell Yaya was speechless
"Nagihiko?" My voice cracks "In a girls uniform? Who... Who are you?"
"I'm Nadeshiko, Nagihiko's younger twin sister" She bows introducing herself
I grin a crooked smile "Okay"
"Say... you look at that pop singer... what's her name again? Amo, Ami... no, Amu! Amu Hinamori" She smiles brightly
My face froze "Huh?"
"What's the color of your hair?" She looks around my hat, she sees a red thing poking out of her pocket and grabs it. It was my famous barette that I always wore on stage, she examined it "I knew it, you're Amu Hinamori, aren't you?!"
I shake my head really fast "No! No! No! I'm just a fangirl doing my fangirl thing! I love Amu Hinamori! She's my favorite singer ever~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!" I squeal
"A-Alright" She shrugs "Where you headed, Yaya?"
"Up to the studio" She squeals
"You mean, Amu Hinamori's, right? Because I heard she works here" Nadeshiko smiles
"Yeah! You wanna come with us!?" Rima cut in
Me and Utau both feel ticks on our foreheads feelings like we're about to explode thinking 'I'm gonna kill them later' w both exchange deadly glances
She grabs Yaya dragging her by the back of her shirt collar, her sliding on the floor and pouting. I do the same thing with Rima. I laugh nervously "Sorry, we're not going to the studio, these joksters! Well, have fun!" I giggle as we get on the elevator. Utau laughs "Nice coverup!"
I glare at her and growl "Shut. It!"
"Heh, okay, how are we gonna punish these ones though?" She asks as she stares up at the ceiling
Neither of us let go of them, we just dragged them to the studio. We walked in Miki's office still not letting go of them. I could tell Miki was on the verge of laughing so I just glared at her "Shut it" I growl
She giggles for a second then clears her throat "Ahem, okay, whoa, what's going on here?"
"These two nearly spilled out Amu's secret" Utau hissed
"I see," The directer sighed
"That's why they haev duck tape over their mouths?" Miki pointed
We both nodded "Were you guys just waiting for us in the lobby?"
They nodded and mumbled "mmm, mmmm'm mmm mm mmmm mmmmm"
"What?" Miki blinked
we removed the duck tape, they both screamed in pain but continued, "First... ow! Second, we said 'Yes, that's why we were there" Rima shrugged
"Exactly! We didn't notice Nadeshiko there until you bumped into her" Yaya pouted
Miki growled at them both "That's no excuse for almost spilling Amu's secret to her!"
"B-"NO BUTS!" Miki interupted them "Now, go sit in the corner and think about what you've done! And don't come out until I say so! You understand me?!"
Me and Utau both gulped as Rima and Yaya nodded and ran to the corner. Miki glared at me and her "Next time, be more careful"
"We will! We promise" Utau nodded
I sighed in relief as she continued to glare at me, I nodded quickly "A promise is a promise"
x-x-x-x
Time skip: The very next day
I hear a knock on my door to my dressing room (Btw, Amu lives in her dressing room, its a live in thing) so I get out of bed, I stretch as I hear more knocking, I rub my eyes and yawn "Coming"
I slip on my baggy jeans and sweatshirt with my baggy hat and sneacker, I go to the door about to open when I hear more knocking, I check my watch, it's... IT'S FREAKING 6 IN THE MORNING! WHO'D WANNA WAKE ME UP AT THIS HOUR!? I open the door and yawn again, I rub my eyes and see Kukai standing there, my blurry vision becomes clear as I growl at him "What do you want?"
"Well, good morning to you to" He huffs "Everybody's waiting downstairs, we needed a special meeting, a get together today. Remember?"
"But why at 6 in the morning?" I sigh
He just shrugs "You're asking me like I'd know"
"Ugh, let's get outta here" I walk out and close my door behind me
"You're less forgetful today, you alright?" He suddenly breaks the silence
My face starting getting redder and redder, it's already almost as red as a tomato, I never blushed so much in my life, I quickly fight it off before he notices "I just realized that it's not fair"
He stops in his tracks, I continue walking for a few seconds then look back at him "What's up?"
"What's not fair?" His eyes widen
"You always do your best for me, do you ever forget me? No, because you're a really good friend. But it's not fair for me to forget you all the time, you do your best for me and I should do the best for it, otherwise, it's not fair" I explain
His face starts getting red, is he... blushing?! I walk up to him, he backs up a little bit "So... let's just go downstairs, they're all waiting, you're friends are here"
He tries to walk passed me but I block his path, I don't care what it takes, I'm gonna confront him! I need to know if he was blushing or if it was just my imagination! "What?" He stares at me blankly
"Sorry, but I need to know. Were you just... b-" I cut myself off 'Should I really ask him? Eh, let's just get this over with, maybe we won't notice that I- NOTHING. Let's just do this already!'
"Yeah?" He starts getting impatient
"Were-you-blushing?" I ask really fast hard to under stand as I look down at the ground with a growing blush coming across my face
He stares at me with a confused expression "What?"
"This is hard for me to ask, it's sort of embarrassing, but were-you-just-blushing?" I ask again really fast
"What?" He asks again but this time a little annoyed
"Were... you... blushing?" I ask really slowly trying to not go to fast so he won't understand me
I look up at him, his face was red already, He looks into my eyes and he shuts his tightly "Uh, let's just go downstairs, maybe you're over tired, it was just your imagination. I mean, honestly, why would I blush just because you're finally putting my feelings into consideration?" He tries to cover up
'Gosh! If you're going to lie to me, at least do a good job of it!' I think to myself as we start walking down the hallway
Silence fills the air as we use the elevator to go downstairs. We just walk side by side as we walk to the lobby.
"Nobody's here, huh, go figure" I laugh a bit "Their's a note"
I pick up the note and start reading it:
Amu, Kukai, everybody had to leave today, we're all super busy. Congradulations, you finally get the studio/house to yourselves, please use this chance wisely. It's not everyday that I leave the studio. Diachi and Miki are out somewhere, and I just got to catch up on work, I'm writing you guys new songs, just out getting some inspiration, please don't ruin the house. You can't leave the house for more than an hour, and try to get along. We'll be back around midnights, please don't do anything you'll regret, and NO PARTIES! You start your shool tomorrow, but you'll still have to work after school for 5 hours to make up for your lost time. And Amu, you gotta work really hard for your concert in a couple days. Thanks -The directer
My face froze, REALLY?! REALLY?! REALLY!? LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THIS PERVERT ALL DAY?! 'You can't leave the house, stay inside all day, and try to get along.' WHAT?!
"What's wrong?" Kukai asked as he grabbed the note from me. I sighed "Read it and then ask me what's wrong"
He read the entire thing and sighed, he put it on the table where it was before and sat next to me on the couch. He just... decided to make small talk, WHICH I HATE! If you're gonna try to talk to me then let it be meaningful!
"So, what song you gonna sing?" He wonders
"I don't know, maybe I'll just sing the songs I have instead of news ones. Maybe I'll sing 'Harmless' or 'Never change' since those are the most inspiring
"Why not sing those two and the new ones that your dad is writing for you?" Kukai suggests
I sigh "Maybe you're right"
"We can't leave the house for more than an hour each time though, right? So, you... you wanna grab a cup of coffee at the cafe?" I twiddle my thumbs as I start blushing again
I DON'T LIKE HIM! WHY AM I BLUSHING SO MUCH?! AND WHY DID MY STUPID DAD HAVE TO LEAVE US HERE ALONE?!... ALL DAY?!
I looked over at him and he's also blushing, he stops as soon as he notices I'm staring at him. He shot up out of his seat "Yeah, let's go"
Did he seriously just say yes? "No disguises" I suggest
He stares at me blanky "But we dont wanna be overwhelmed by fans, do we?"
"Please, just, celebrities. I don't wanna wear my fake idenity anymore. I just wanna be me" I beg
He nods "Fine, but if your father finds out, he'll-"He'll what?" I cut him off "He'll punish us? No, he needs us for the embryo, if he punishes us, we'll quit. Then he'll beg for us back"
Kukai nods "You got a point there"
"Let's just go" I grab my bag and open up the door to the studio. I stare at the beautiful fountain in front of me in the middle of the park. I sit at the edge as those boys I saw earlier walk by me. "Hey guys" I catch their attention. They turn to face me and they run over to me "Hey! You're..." Nagihiko was about to speak with Kukai came up behind him and covered his mouth "Who're these guys?"
"My friend, Dia, told me about them. They're the ones I'm getting the free tickets for" I explain
"Dia's your friend? Are we talking about the same friend...? Dia... Amulet?" Ikuto steps in and asks
"Yep. She texts me all the time, she's my very best friend, even before I was famous. So is the other girls, Utau, Rima, and Yaya. They're my best friends, but Rima and Yaya were my friends after I became famous" I laugh
They stare at me in surprise, I cover my mouth and whine "TMI, TMI! I'm so sorry!"
"It's quite alright" Tadase smiles
I just melt, his smile is so goregous. He continues to talk, "When we go to your concert in a couple days, you better put on a good show"
"We're looking forward to it" Nagihiko laughs
"Got the tickets yet?" Ikuto cuts in
Tadase and Nagihiko both hit him in the stomach playfully and glare at him "Sorry about him"
"No... it's quite alright, I got the tickets right here" I pull out 6 tickets "This is like a date, right? Like a triple date?"
All of their faces turn red but they nod anyways. I stare directly at Nagihiko "Which one were you going for?"
His face turns redder than ever "Uh, Rima"
I just can't help but laugh, he glares at me "Don't laugh!"
"Sorry! It's just, that, Rima hates you. I'm sure she likes you on the inside, I know she does, she told me she likes... um, Nagihiko, is it?" I ask pretending not to know
He nods, I continue "I just can't picture her NOT liking you. I mean, LOOK AT YOU!" I blurt out
His face turns red as he bows "Thank you"
"And you... who were you going after?" I look straight Ikuto
x-x-x-x
Ikuto's POV:
"Got the tickets yet?" I cut in
Tadase and Nagihiko both hit me in the stomach playfully and glare at me "Sorry about him"
WHY ARE THEY APOLOGIZING?! UGH~~! AHHH!
"No... it's quite alright, I got the tickets right here" She pulls out 6 tickets "This is like a date, right? Like a triple date?"
All of our faces turn red but we nod anyways. She stares directly at Nagihiko "Which one were you going for?"
His face turns redder than ever "Uh, Rima"
She can't help but laugh, I tried keeping in my laugh aswell. Nagihiko glares at her "Don't laugh!"
"Sorry! It's just, that, Rima hates you. I'm sure she likes you on the inside, I know she does, she told me she likes... um, Nagihiko, is it?" She asks
He nods and she continues, "I just can't picture her NOT liking you. I mean, LOOK AT YOU!" She blurts out
His face turns red as he bows "Thank you"
Blah blah blah, stop hitting on my friend
"And you... who were you going after?" She looks straight at me
My face turns red, I can't tell her I like Dia... Dia isn't my type! I just really like her! Um!
"Uh, Utau" I lie
She nods "That's understandable, you have so much in common. She'll love you! But she's a bit... vicious sometimes, she said that if this date doesn't go well then she'll kill Dia. And she means that quite literally so... TREAT HER WELL!" She demands
I swollow hard and nod "Mhm"
She directs her attention straight at Tadase "And you...?"
His face turns red as the air grows silent. He refuses to answer for a minute then calms down, "Dia"
Her face turned red, WHY?! Wait, Amu's face turned red when Tadase said he liked Dia. Their is only 2 possible reasons that come to mind on why. 1) Amu liked Tadase and is jealous. And 2) Amu is Dia. But I doubt it's the second one. How would that even be possible?
I stare right at Amu trying to figure out what's going on, she glances at me and winks. OH MY GOSH! My face turns so red as I direct my attention to Kukai who was behind us listening to the whole conversation.
x-x-x-x
Amu's POV:
Ikuto stares right at me with a confused expression on his face. I decide to play with him a little bit, I glance at him and wink. His face turns red with the 'OH MY GOSH, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!' face, I giggled inside but didn't let it show. He turns around and directs his attention to Kukai who was behind them listening to the whole conversation. I look at Kukai aswell, his face was normal not showing any sign of emotion at all. He's just staring at me blankly, he finally speaks, "Amu, we have 30 minutes left"
"CRAP!" I scream as I hop up "Sorry I gotta go"
I look around, the air grew even more silent than it already was. I start looking around rapidly, nobody in sight. Usually this street is crowded, where is everybody? Kukai seemed to notice too because he's doing the same thing I am. We both look around. I run in one direction as I hear screaming "AMU" "COME BACK" "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" "IT'S NOT SAFE"
I ignored their screams and continued running. But their screams could've saved my life. I bumped into someone and fell back hitting my head on the black top. I rub my head and sit up, I look up at who it was... "Utau?!" she was also on the ground but she didn't seemed to be hurt
"I sensed trouble in this area. You wanna go check it out?" Utau begged
I nodded and took out my phone texting Kukai
From: Dia Amulet
To: Ryo Shidoku
I ran into Utau, we'll be fine, just... explore the area with the guys, we'll be back by 9, I can promsie you that much. Please don't worry about us, we'll be aboslutely fine. If we aren't back by at least 10 then call me, if I don't answer then search for me, otherwise, leave me alone. Okay?
I felt satisfied with my text so I hit send, was I maybe a little bit too harsh? Nah, he's strong, he'll get over it, heh! Whatever! Me and Utau run through the town looking around. We still see nobody, all the doors are open, is this my dad's plan?
