Disclaimer: If I owned Spiral, then it would still be going…seriously…it ended right when I saw staring at the screen with antici…pation (cookies and a sneak preview into the next chapter to anyone who gets the reference!)

A/N: Hey, loves-emo-guys-with-hair here, with chapter 6 of the story. Yes I know that I'm in charge with the odd numbered chapters but technically with Angel's author's note uploaded on the story, I'm here with chapter 7 lol. Yeah…you're not the only one confused . Anywho, same basics for this chapter: bold means two or more people are talking and italics means there is emphasis on what is said. Also for the beginning of this particular chapter, bold is also the girls' alarm clocks. Thanks for reading!

6:00 am

When I was darkness at that time…fureterukuchibiru…heya no katasumi de I cry…mogakeba mogaku hodo tsukisasaru kono kizu…yaburaretayakusoku hurt me…

Aerie stirred, opening one eye to glare at the blinking numbers on the side table that was next to her bed.

Nobody can save me…kamisama hitotsu dake…tomete saku you na my love…

Sighing, the girl stretched before walking over to the door to turn on her bedroom light. Once her eyes adjusted to the fluorescents, she dressed in her school uniform, singing along with the song that was playing.

I need your love...I'm a broken rose…maichiru kanashimi your song...ibasho nai kodoku na my life…

Looking around, Aerie spotted her hair brush and used it on the knots and tangles that made up her hair, while also using her brush as a makeshift microphone, still singing along with her alarm clock.

I need your love…I'm a broken rose…oh baby, help me from frozen pain…your smile, your eyes, sing me, just for me…

She eventually gave up trying to tame the mess known as her hair, and started to pull it up in a messy bun. Aerie was about to throw two decorated chopsticks in to keep it in place when spotting her cat playing with her shoes.

"Nobu! Leave my shoe alone, you've already ruined one pair of shoelaces, I'd like to keep these intact." The cat glanced at her before continuing to gnaw on the strings. Aerie was about to throw one of the chopsticks at her feline before she heard a crash and yelling in her sister's room.

6:30 am (while Aerie was getting ready)

Dun dun dun dun…dun dun dun dunnnn….

Cleoh jumped as her alarm clock went off, playing Beethoven's first movement of his fifth symphony. Flailing, the girl fell off the bed in her search for the remote to turn off the blaring timer.

"Decrescendo…decrescendo…DECRESCENDO!"

"What the hell Cleoh?" The blonde turned around in blanket cocoon to see her sister staring at her, hair partially done and shirt halfway buttoned.

"What?"

"Why are you yelling decrescendo?"

"It wasn't getting quieter…I thought maybe if I told it to it would."

"Okay…why are you on the floor?"

"It surprised me."

"So you're saying that the orchestra scared you?"

"…It was loud…" Aerie snorted.

"Of course it was…well get ready." With that being said, the sister walked out of the room to finish preparing for school. Cleoh sighed, looking around the room. Ayame, her dog looked at her from the bed in a manner like she was asking 'why are you on the floor and not in the warm bed?'

"You know if you brought me the remote I wouldn't have been made fun of this early in the morning." Ayame stared at her owner before laying her head back down to go to sleep. Cleoh shook her head at her dog's laziness before beginning to untangle herself from the pile of blankets on the floor before getting dressed for the day. While picking out her eye shadow, she thought about what to do today.

(Cleoh view)

I have that paper in history that is due…I might skip lunch to practice on the roof…maybe Ayumu-kun will be there to give me some ideas for that piano piece I've been wanting to write…ugh…that means I'll have to see that idiot Hiyono…I wish she would just die…

(Normal view)

As she thought that, Cleoh felt a warm sensation creep through her being, making her hair stand and chills whisper over her skin.

"…That was kind of creepy…" Ayame whined, startling the girl. "What's wrong girl?" The dog whined again before getting up to scratch at the door. "You need to go outside? I guess you have been in here all night…" With that said, Cleoh opened her bedroom door and Ayame bolted out, knocking Aerie over in the process.

"Hey! Ayame! Watch where you're going!" Nobu, who was sitting on the counter, hissed at the dog as she went through the doggy door.

"What are you doing on the floor Aerie?"

"Your oversized gerbil knocked me over."

"She's not a gerbil!"

"Keep telling yourself that…are you ready to head to class?" Cleoh shrugged.

"Might as well. There's nothing else to do." Her sister nodded.

"True, then lets head out."

"Don't forget the toast!"

"It's already in the toaster."

"Yatta! You do love me!"

4:00 at school

Aerie groaned as they stepped into the hallway.

"Why…must we have statistics? It doesn't fall under the rules of math. Math is supposed to be set in. This plus this multiplied by the cubed root of x is always going to equal the same variable. In statistics it's never set. X subtracted from the quotient of ±forty-five can either be two, negative eighty, or infinity. It doesn't make sense!" Cleoh shrugged, not really paying attention to her sister's rant. That feeling from the morning had occurred a few more times in the day, and they all occurred when Hiyono crossed her mind or path. It made her feel fidgety and she wasn't sure what do make of it.

"Hey…Aerie…I have a question…" The sister stopped her angry speech at the tone of her sister's voice.

"Yeah…what's up?" Cleoh opened her mouth to explain the weird feeling that she had been experiencing when she was interrupted by another student.

"Ah! Tsukiko-sans! How are you on this glorious day?" Hiyono appeared out of nowhere, smiling while thrusting her microphone in the twins' faces. Aerie rolled her eyes.

"We're doing well Hiyono-chan. How are you?" That allowed the self proclaimed reporter to release verbal diarrhea onto the two girls; the sea blue eyed girl nodded at the story, not really paying too much attention but didn't want to be rude; Cleoh, however, was trying to prevent herself from shaking. The weird feeling was back and it was now affecting her vision; everything became warped, the image of Hiyono became sharper as the hallway dimmed and blurred. She opened her mouth, unsure whether to ask someone to take her to the nurses or scream; however another voice interrupted.

"Cleoh-san…Aerie-chan…sorry this idiot is bothering you; I escaped her sight so she decided to attack you." Ayumu was a welcome distraction from the weird sensation.

"Its fine Ayumu-kun…what brings you over here…other than for her?" The brunette shrugged.

"Actually I'm here for Aerie-chan…sensei wanted to talk to you about one of your papers." Aerie nodded, taking a couple of steps forward, before remembering how upset her sister sounded earlier.

"Um…do you want to come with or do you want to talk about it later?" Cleoh blinked, before smiling at her worried sister.

"It can wait…go see sensei; I'll meet you at home, okay?"

"Okay…lead the way Ayumu-kun." With that, the two teens walked away, leaving Cleoh and Hiyono in the now empty hallway.

"Well Tsukiko-san, what shall we do while they're gone?" The musician mentally groaned, wishing that she went her sister, but she wasn't sure which professor she went to.

"I think I'm just going to go home Hiyono-chan."

"That sounds splendid! I shall accompany you to your house!"

"…"

4:30 - passing the park

The two girls were passing a swing set when Cleoh paused.

"Is everything okay Tsukiko-san?" The blonde turned towards the brunette.

"I was just thinking…I heard that there was some ghost in that old weaving factory over there." The girl pointed towards an abandoned building, barely noticeable from the distance. "I'd figure maybe you'd like to do a report on it…shall we go check it out?" Hiyono jumped happily.

"Yes! That would be a great story! I wonder why the spirit hasn't moved on? Maybe a lost love…or a horrible manager that trapped her in a room until she finished her project! Let's go at once!" The ecstatic girl never noticed the slight change in Cleoh's voice, or her pupils becoming narrowed, very similar to her fellow blade children.

SPAZZ! I loved how that ended! I was listening to Hunter by 30 Seconds to Mars and I just got the chills all over! So can anyone guess what's up with Cleoh? I wasn't sure how to describe her change, so I hope that worked; I tried to make her sound like a predator, I'm not sure if I was successful in that or what not.

If anyone was curious, Aerie's alarm clock song was Rose by Anna Tsuchiya; it's one of the songs from the anime Nana (which I totally recommend to everyone to read/watch)

But seriously, anyone who gets the reference from the disclaimer and says where I got it from in their reviews/pm, I'll send you a sneak peak of the next chapter.

Thanks for reading and please review and tell me what you think!
