I only have 2 words for everyone:
GOMEN NASAI!!!!!! GOMEN NASAI!!! GOMEN NASAI!!!
Yeah it's been how long now? I don't even know. Well I've just been caught up in everything at school. I mean every week there's a test, project, tons of homework, or all of the above. And then came midterms. THEY JUST NEED TO DIE!!!!!!! I was going to update during Christmas break, but I never was able to get some free time to write up another chappie because the stupid people at my school decided that midterms had to be AFTER winter break. So my parents made me study like every day until my brain was ready to explode. Chapter 7 was on its way before because I was half done with it on my other computer, but it was kinda, umm fail. So now I'm just sitting in my room typing up this message on my laptop. But we should just start now. I mean after waiting for months I wouldn't want to read this stupid story about the author's life…
NOTE: I don't own Shugo Chara! Peach-Pit does.
Chapter 6 ~ Silhouette
Amu lay in her bed on a cloudy Sunday morning. Her eyes still closed and everything was still around her. No sounds or voices in the real world at this time. However the pinkette quickly turned over and her face became slightly wet.
In Amu's mind~
She stood atop of Seino Middle School, or what she thought was her middle school. Dark swirls filled the sky and the roof wasn't in its regular shade of light terracotta. Instead, it was a deep red, more specifically blood red. It was almost unrecognizable. Amu looked around and then looked at herself, a simple black strapless gown was wrapped around her body and she wore ebony stilettos to match.
'Wh-Where am I?' Amu thought.
She looked straight ahead and saw a dark figure that lay in what appeared to be in front of her. The figure, a boy who looked around Amu's size was lying there, looking dead.
'That person looks hurt! I should help them out' Amu said to herself as she began to run towards the person. She could see him perfectly but she couldn't seem to reach him. It's as if the rooftop was stretching beneath her feet every second. Frustrated, Amu ripped the high heels of her blistered feet and threw them into the pitch-clack sky as they disappeared from her sight. She ran faster with all of her might as voices began to soon enter her mind.
"I'm so sorry"
"I'm not who you think I am"
"You wouldn't want to see or talk to me, the real me."
"I'll leave now"
These four quotes just ran through her mind and she tried to ignore them, but the wouldn't go away.
"Stop it! Go away!" Amu yelled as she shut her eyes and kept running. When she opened them back up, she began to fall into the sky as it sucked her up.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!"
End of dream~
Amu's POV
"NOOOOOOOOO!!" I yelled as I opened my eyes quickly and sat straight up. My breath was short and uneven. My palms were sweaty and my face was soaked. No dark, heartless sky or blood red floors. I was just in my room, where I belonged.
"Amu!! What was that for!" Ran yelled quickly popping out of her egg.
"What's going on?" Miki said drowsily while slowly peeking out of her egg.
"Wahh Amu-chan!! I heard a really kowaii sound!" Suu yelled coming back from her "morning walk" from my balcony while flying in through the window.
"I just had a scary nightmare that's all." I said calmly. I wanted to check for the time, but instead an orange post-it was over it. I read it over and my eyes had widened yet again. I pulled off the pots it to see the actual time.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! IT'S ALREADY 10:49!!" I yelled as I quickly ran into the bathroom.
"Oh, Amu" I heard my 3 charas mumble behind my back.
Regular POV:
Amu ran to the school faster than she ever would on a school day, She had on a sky blue and carnation pink diagonal striped one sleeved top on with a short white ruffled skirt an black leggings underneath it. She had on some white sneakers and a lightweight black blazer, the same one from her elementary school uniform, for this cloudy and cool day.
"Amu, don't forget to bring an um—" her mom tried to tell her, but Amu was already out the door and on her way to the rooftop. She climbed up the stairs and looked around at the surroundings. The sky was cloudy and dull, and the floor was a deep brown.
'Just like my dream' Amu thought.
"Yo, Amu-chan!" Ryou said, breaking her out of her deep thought. He wore his signature outfit, the same one from the day he met Amu.
"Oh, um hi Ryou-kun" Amu said slowly looking away.
"I something wrong Amu-chan?" Ryou said with a worried tone. He placed his left hand on her forehead for a few seconds. "You're a little warm, maybe you should go home."
"No I'm perfectly fine." Amu said. "I just had a…a bad dream."
'Maybe it'll be similar to my bad dream' Ryou thought.
"What was your dream about?" he asked.
"Well I was up here, I think, and it was all dark kind of like today. I saw someone who collapsed and tried to help them. But the more I ran, the further away I got from the figure and then I heard weird quotes. Something like 'I'm sorry' 'You don't know who I am' 'you wouldn't want to see the real me' stuff like that." Amu said thinking about the eerie voice that had called out to her.
"I had a similar dream like you, Amu-chan," I managed to say. "I had fallen and then I couldn't get up. It was nighttime and I was up on the roof here too. My eyes had barely opened and then I saw flashes of a girl in a long, flowey dress running towards me and I heard quotes saying 'No way' 'I hate you' 'Toying with a girl's emotions isn't funny' and some others." Ryou muttered out.
"Toying with a girl's emotions?" Amu said in a low tone as her eyes began to sparkle not as brightly as usual.
"Hey it was only a dream right? That probably won't happen, so cheer up." Ryou said with his signature smile.
"Yeah you're right. Also another thing I—" Amu began to say but she felt a few raindrops fall from the sky.
"Rain? Why now?" Ryou said as he placed his hand out and more fell into his palm. "Well it's only a small drizzle, but this isn't from nature."
"What?!" Amu said in confusion.
"This rain, it's…" Ryou began to say while thinking. "Someone's trying to track us." He said while grabbing Amu's arm and pulling her inside the staircase. The rain had become heavy and it came down on the two of them. Amu was completely soaked even though she had been in the heavy rain for a few seconds.
"Tracking us? Why and who would do such a thing?" Amu said still shocked and utterly confused.
"You see the lightning flashes out there?" Ryou said while pointing to the window as lightning was shot every few seconds. "The person who's controlling all of this wants to locate us."
"What if they find us?" Amu asked.
"We can't let them do that. I'm taking you home immediately." Ryou said while trying to run down the stairs with Amu lagging behind.
"But I don't—ahh!" Amu yelled as she tripped and began to tumble down the stairs. Ryou looked back and had quickly held Amu tight to him, but they fell down another 3 stories.
Amu quickly got up from Ryou and noticed a scratch on her left cheek and a bruise on both of her shins. She noticed Ryou was unconscious below her and she quickly shook him to try and wake him up.
"Ryou? Ryou are you all right? Wake up, say something, ANYTHING!" She yelled desperately to get him to wake up.
Ryou opened his eyes slowly and sat up while Amu supported him.
"They're on to us." Ryou said while slowly standing up. "We have to go, now."
"But Ryou! You have bruises everywhere, there's no way you can actually run all the way to my house." She cried begging him to stay.
"Ok Amu if you insist," Ryou said while he looked through his pocket for a small white star made of the same material as the humpty lock. "
"What if you come to my house with me? I don't think it'll be safe to leave you alone here." Amu said.
"Let me go with you down the stairs, at least." Ryou said. 'I can't tell her why now. She'll make me go with her all the way home,' Ryou thought.
"Ok sure." Amu said while beginning to run down the stairs with the stones in her pocket.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Hehe yeah…Ok so please review, and the conclusion to Amu's date with Ryou is coming up next time!
