~Amu POV~
"Who does she think she is? Just because she's Ikuto's girlfriend doesn't mean she can bribe the judges. And I can't believe the judges fell for it!" Rima ranted on and on about the contest.
"Rima calm down. It's alright. There'll be more competitions in the future." I said.
"Yeah but the prize money won't be as big as that." Rima commented. I just sighed.
"Come on Rima. We'll be late." I nudged Rima.
"Who do you think Miss K is?" Rima brought up.
"Miss K?" I looked at Rima confused.
"Oh you didn't hear? It's all over the school. People are saying there's this girl who's pregnant in the school. Nobody knows her name but they call her Miss K." Rima explained.
"It's probably some stupid rumor." I commented. Rima shrugged her shoulders. I looked back up to see we were already at school.
"Come on Rima!" I yelled and we raced to our classroom. We arrived to find lots of people crowded around something. I grabbed Rima's hand again and pushed my way through. Everybody was staring at me in disgust. I got confused until we got to the chalkboard. Words in all colors of chalk were written over it. There were 'Slut', 'Who's the Daddy' and many others. On the corner of the board was a huge notice saying 'Miss K is really Hinamori Amu!' I fumed. I knew one person who would tell this lie. Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I stormed out of the room. On my way, people sneered at me. I just ignored them. I got to the stupid F4 lounge and kicked down the door to be greeted by Saaya and Tsukiyomi making out while the others looked at them in disgust. Ikuto looked up to see me.
"You could have opened the door. It's not locked." Ikuto pointed out. I grinded my teeth.
"I know you were the one who spend the stupid rumor." I said. Ikuto smirked.
"Why do you hate people so much?" I asked, glaring at the person before me. Ikuto gave me no answer. My level of hate and frustration was climbing higher. I was still waiting when I reached my climax. If this was a cartoon show then you would have seen steam coming out of my ears. I dug into my pockets and brought out rags that I used for cleaning the house. I then flung it at Ikuto. Ikuto seemed to be surprise for he made no move to duck the on coming object. The rags hit him flat on the face. Ikuto then picked up the rags from his face. On he's face was dirt and mud. Oh did I mention that the rags were used to clean the parkway?
"And guess what. You think you can break me but I'm stronger than that. You're a low-life jerk!" I yelled and I came up to Tsukiyomi and punched him. I then stormed out of the room, hating to be even near the stupid jerk. I then started to walk faster, realizing that class was soon starting. I got to the classroom to find Rima in her seat and the blackboard erased of the nasty words. I hurried to my seat but not before Saaya tripped me. I just hanged my head and got up to my seat. The teacher came in a second later and started reading off the attendant.
~After School~
I let out my breath. School was finally over. I was glad. At lunch time everybody was staring at me like a freak. Guess rumors spread fast. Well I was walking home which was about 6 miles away while my step-sisters got a ride from Miss Bitch and Rima had to go home with her parents. Of course we arranged to meet later in the center of town at 6 today. Back to me. I was at the school gates by now when suddenly men in black appeared in fount of me. I took a step back.
"Who are you?" I asked, slowly taking a step back. Every time I got back a step the men took a step forward.
"You do not need to know who we are. Our master asked us to bring you to him. Please cooperate and come with us." One of the men said.
"Umm I'm not that stupid. You think I'll follow someone without knowing who they are." I said.
"I guess we'll have to go to plan B." One of them said.
"Plan B?" I looked at them confused. They suddenly lunged at me. I leaped back and started running.
"Ran chara change." I said. Small pink wings then appeared at the heel of my shoes. I heard Ran say "Hop, Step, Jump" in my head and next thing I knew, I was in the air. I then got back down and started running.
~10 minutes later~
I sighed as I landed down behind a bush. I undid the chara change and couched down. I figured the men were gone by now. I wait for about another minute and finally got out of the bushes. Suddenly I was ambushed. The men pushed me inside a limo. They then held a rag up at my nose and mouth. My vision started to get fuzzy. As the blackness started to consume me, I whispered a small "I'm sorry mother." Darkness then swallowed me up.
~Somewhere Amu POV~
I regained conscious but I could not open my eyes. I heard the sound of footsteps. Lots of them. They were light footsteps, although the steps were fast. I could make out the sound of a female voice. I figured out that there were probably lots of girls around me. Suddenly I felt a tug at my hoodie. Someone was going to take off my clothes! I instantly snap my eyes open. I was right. There were girls around me. One of them were lifting up my hoodie. I then slammed my hand down. Thank god I had a dress under. (The dress is Something Amu made in the sewing club)
"Where am I?" I asked the nearest girl. She didn't answer. I sighed and got up. I looked around. The place was like a make up studio. I noticed the door and walked through it. I then pull the hood back up to hide my face. I then walked around, trying to find an exit. I then stumbled into what looked like the living room. I then saw Tsukiyomi. He turned around and looked at me.
"I thought I told my servants to change your clothes." Ikuto said.
"Wait. This is you're home?" I asked.
"Duh." Ikuto answered.
"Why am I here?" I crossed my arms.
"Because I thought you would like a little make up on yourself. Maybe a little new hair do, make up and a nice new dress would suit you. All of this for something of your's." Ikuto said. I nodded my head for him to go on.
"See you have something that I want. Of course the item has no value with you but with me it has a lot of value. Maybe I can also split the profit." Ikuto continued. "The item I want is… the Humpty Lock." Ikuto finished. I glared at him.
"You think money can buy everything in the world? Well guess what. You're never going to get this lock. And this locket had more value then you will every make! And I don't want any of your money or jewels." I yelled.
"Well what do you do you want?" Ikuto stared at me.
"You wanna know what I want. I want happiness but you can't buy happiness nor can you give make me happy. Why? Because my whole freakin life is filled of hate and unhappiness." And with that I turned around and walked out of the door. I then wandered around the house or mansion until I found the exit. I then walked out the door, making sure to slam the door. I then walked off the property and looked around. I never had been to this part of the town. I sighed as I walked around. About an hour later I realized that I was lost. Suddenly a car drove past me, driving over a huge mud puddle. Mud and water splashed over me. Thank god I had my hood over my face but now my pants and hoodie was soaked and soon the water will seek through the fabric to my dress. I sighed as I took off my hoodie and pants. A summer dress with blue flowers was underneath. I then got a bag that I kept in case out of my hoodie pocket and stuffed the mud soak clothes into the bag. I then aimlessly walked around again. Finally I reached a sigh that I was familiar with. I then followed it and soon I found myself in the center of town. I then spotted Rima. I ran to her.
"Hey Rima."
~Rima POV~
I looked to my left and right. Where was Amu? She's half an hour late! Suddenly a girl ran up to me.
"Hey Rima." The girl said. I stared at her. She was so beautiful that she could have been a model. The girl had bubble pink hair and golden eyes and pale skin but that's where it ended. All over her legs and arms and face were bruises, cuts and scars. She looked so fragile that one touch could break her.
"Um who are you?" I asked the girl like she was a 5 year old and I was an adult, eyeing her. (Rima never seen Amu's face)
"Rima I'm not that old." The girl said. I still stared at her. The girl sighed.
"You don't know who I am, do you Ri-chan?" The girl said. I recognized the nickname. Only Amu called me that.
"Amu?" I asked, making sure that the girl was really Amu.
"Duh." The girl said. I then hugged her.
"Where were you? Why were you late? Why are there scars all over your body?" I said in a rush.
"Woah Rima. Slow down. I was at Ikuto's house because he kidnapped me and I was late because I had no idea where I was when I walked out of the house. And Rima are you that forgetful? Remember the story that I told you? About my step-family?" Amu said.
"Ohh." I remembered now.
"Well come on. We got to go to all the stores before they close!" Amu said as she grabbed my hand and dragged me around the stores. I smiled. I was so lucky to have a friend that really likes me.
