Lily: Hey guys! It's time for...

Amu: A day in the life of Death!

Death: *looks embarrassed*

Lily & Amu: AAW! KAWAI! Death, who knew you could be so cute!

Death: I look exactly like you, Amu...

Amu: Why don't you show your real appearance?

Lily & Death: AMU! SHUT UP! *they whisper*

Amu: What? *pouts*

Lily: Death's appearance is going to be revealed later. She's actually a really beautiful girl! She's cool, too!

Death: Mou...

Lily: He he...stop being so embarrassed! You're being so OOC!

Death: Whatevs.

Amu: Ah, she's back.

Death: What?

Amu: Nothing~!

Lily: Well, let's get on with the story! This chapter is about how Amu and Death met!

Amu & Death: HUH?!

Lily: *looks evil, but is smiling*

Amu: Lily-chan...

Death: Ugh...

Lily: Enjoy! :)

Amu & Death: Enjoy...


Death POV (you know, the demon inside Amu? Or the 'psycho side'? Yeah. That's Death.)

"Ne!" Someone called out to me. At least, I think they called out to me.

I turned my head to where the shout came from.

"1290!" They shouted again, waving and running towards me.

1290. My 'name'. All demons in Hell were given a name, or number, depending on how strong they were. We were given 'number tags' that we don't actually pin on our clothes, but they are actually printed in black on some part of our body. My number was printed on my hand.

"Hey, 1291," I said, standing up with my hands in my pockets. 1291 was my best friend. Her number was printed on her shoulder. Actually, it's kind of funny. We had become friends only because our numbers were right next to each other.

"How's it going?" she asked, stopping in front of me.

"Boring. What about you?" I asked.

"EXCITING!" 1291 screamed. Other demons stared at us, while I clamped my hand over her mouth.

"What the hell?! Be quiet! You're embarrassing me!" I whispered loudly. She laughed when I took my hand away from her mouth (she bit me!).

"So? What happened?" I asked.

"I found her!" she exclaimed.

"Her? What do you mean?"

"My other self!"

"Seriously?!"

"Yes! And she's a little cutie, too! She has this beautiful sleek blond hair tied into 2 ponytails, and these mesmerizing violet eyes."

"What's her name?"

"Um... I think it was Utau Hoshina or something..."

"Utau? That's an interesting name..."

"Right?"

"When will you get to meet her?"

"Tomorrow!"

I was slightly taken aback by this answer.

"T-tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yep!" 1291 exclaimed excitedly. I furrowed my brows, but it went unnoticed by 1291.

'Tomorrow...that means...I'll only get to stay with you for less than a day,' I thought sadly.

"Don't worry, 1290-chan," 1291 said, smiling. I looked up at her. "I'm sure you'll find your other self soon enough. You won't be alone forever!"

I blinked at her, then sighed though I was smiling.

"1291... Thanks," I said.

"So..." she said, smirking. "Let's make the most of today!"

1291 grabbed my hand and we started running off towards...somewhere.

"1291!" I exclaimed. She laughed, gripping my hand.

'I guess it wouldn't hurt to have fun for the one day that I still have left with 1291,' I thought.

Believe it or not, us demons don't actually look like our other selves. 1291's 'partner' has blond hair and violet eyes, while 1291 has short, curly brown hair that rests on her shoulders. Her eyes were the same chocolate-y brown colour, complementing her hair.

Oh, you want to know what I look like? Well no. I ain't telling you that yet.

Anyways, Hell isn't actually the horrific, full-of-fire, torture underground place that everybody thinks it is. But even if it irritates me that non-demons think it is like that, I can't do anything about it. I can't tell them about life in Hell, or it would ruin the relationship between non-demons and demons.

Ugh...it would be easier to say humans and demons, but there are vampires as well, so it's not like I can say that since it would be unfair to vampires.

'I wonder if my partner is going to be a human or vampire... How old will she be? What will she look like? What kind of a life will she have had? Will she be a nice or a mean person?' I wondered. 'Well, not like that matters right now. I should stop worrying about something like that and have fun with 1291!'

Time Leap

I sighed tiredly as I opened my house door. And yes, I live in a house.

We didn't really need to lock our doors and windows or anything like that, since really, if you killed or hurt anyone in Hell, the one and only Akuma-sama, or Devil-sama, as some people say, would personally come to you.

If you only injured someone, Akuma-sama would just take away most of your privileges. If you killed someone, Akuma-sama would just straight out kill you.

So nobody really dared to hurt one another.

I closed the door behind me and flicked on the lights, going straight to one specific room I always checked. Up the stairs at the end of the hall, turn to my left, the room at the end of the hall.

I opened the door, not even wincing when it made that horrible creaking sound. How scary. Inside, I saw that everything was still the same. Once again, I flicked on the light switch and watched the room get illuminated in light.

After a moment of hesitation, I flicked the lights off. I just liked this room better in the darkness. And plus, it would soon be illuminated in a...different kind of light.

I closed the door behind me and walked over to the desk in the middle of the room, with a chair tucked in that was facing the opposite wall of the door. I pulled out the chair and sat down, pulling a keyboard and mouse towards me. After clicking the left hand button of the mouse with my index finger twice, the room was illuminated in blue.

And where did that blue come from?

The screens in front of me.

There were 12 screens, 4 columns of 3 and 3 rows of 4. They were mostly blue, except for a black rectangle in the middle which said, 'password'.

I typed in the password, which was DeMoNsArEaWeSoMe1290. The screens turned black, then green. On it said, 'password excepted'. I leaned back into the chair and waited for the screens to load.

'I wonder if I'll find her today?' I thought, keeping my hand on the computer mouse. As the screens slowly lit up with different pictures, I looked around for her. And how would I know if she was the one? Well...I would just know, you know?

It's like we have a connection. If I see her, I'll know she's the one. Personally, I would like to have a strong partner. Someone who was beautiful, but modest, strong, but kind. Ugh, maybe I'm being a bit too picky...after all, if my partner wasn't what I wanted her to be, then I didn't really have any other choice for a partner.

There are an exact same amount of demons as there are humans and vampires. If I put my hopes too high, they would be crushed.

I observed the screens for about half an hour or so, clicking the mouse every once in a while to change Hell Observers(I'll explain later) and typing in the number of the Hell Observer in the keyboard.

'Maybe I should stop for the day,' I thought, about to shut down the screens, when my eyes widened. I bolted out of my seat and rushed out of the room, picking up a phone and quickly typing in 1291's number.

"Come on, hurry up and pick the phone up," I whispered, listening to the beeps of the phone.

"1290?" 1291 asked over the phone.

"Hi! I have something exciting to tell you!" I exclaimed.

"What is it?" 1291 asked.

"I found her! My other self!"

"Seriously?"

"Yes!"

"Ok, wait there, I'm coming over right now!"

Then she hung up the phone. My heart was beating a thousand kilometres per hour, adrenaline rushing through me.

'I've found her. I've really found her!' I thought.

BAM!

"1290!" 1291 exclaimed.

"You're here!" I shouted, running down the stairs and grabbing her hand. Then I proceeded to sprint up the stairs and into the room. The screens were still on, all of them focused on my partner.

"She's so beautiful," 1291 exclaimed. "And that pink hair! You don't see that everyday."

"She certainly is unique..." I said, observing my partner. She didn't look too weak... I furrowed my brows.

'Is that her parents?' I wondered, looking at one of the screens. My partner was in between two adults-one a man and one a woman-and they were all holding hands.

"She seems so naive," I said. "But kinda cute, too."

"I wonder where she's going?" 1291 asked.

Suddenly, a mansion came into view.

"What the hell...?" I whispered. 'Is she rich?' I wondered. 'Naw, she doesn't look rich.'

"It looks like they just entered a vampire's mansion," 1291 noted.

"Yeah, seems like it."

As the screens went on, my brows furrowed.

"Sired? Why are they doing that-" I was cut off when I heard screaming.

"Oh my god!" 1291 exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands. My eyes widened.

"A-are...her parents being...m-murdered?" 1291 asked softly. I could see the anger in her face, the fury at that vampire.

But instead of fighting, she jumped out the window.

"At least she's smart," I said.

"1290! Her parents have just been killed, right before her eyes! Be more considerate!" 1291 exclaimed.

It wasn't like I didn't feel sorry for her, but...I knew she could deal with it.

I turned off the screen, not wanting to see more.

"So when will you meet her?" 1291 asked.

"It...depends. Maybe tomorrow, if she's not too weak," I said.

"Not too weak? Any human would be weak after that," 1291 said.

"Maybe...maybe she'll be different. She doesn't seem like the one to sulk over something like this. No, she's the type who would seek revenge."

1291 stayed silent for a while.

"Well, at least you won't be alone when I'm gone," she said, smiling faintly.

I nodded.

Time leap

My phone rang, waking me from my slumber. I brought a tired hand out of the sheets and felt around for the phone. Finally reaching it, I picked it up and brought it to my ear.

"Hello, this is 1290 speaking," I said, yawning.

"Hi 1290! It's 1291," 1291 said.

"Oh hey," I said, sitting up and stretching.

"Did you just wake up? Sorry!"

"No, it's ok. Are you ready for today?"

"I was just about to change, but I decided to call you first."

"I see. This is probably the last day we'll ever see each other."

"1290! Don't say that! Anyway, I'll change and come over, okay?"

"Kay."

I hung up the phone and placed it on my bedside table. Then I proceeded to walk over to my wardrobe. I put on a dark grey long sleeved shirt and track suit pants. Then I put on a dark brown-ish black-ish coat that only buttoned down to my waist, but ended at my ankles.

DING DONG

"Ah, 1291's here," I said to myself, walking over to the door and opening it.

"Hi!" 1291 said.

"Come in," I said, moving out of the way for her to come in. When she took off her shoes and walked in, I closed the door.

1291 was wearing a white singlet with a thin jacket that was a light grey colour. She also wore a white wavy skirt that ended at her knees.

"As usual, I see you have no sense of style," I said.

"Oh shut up!" 1291 shouted.

"Is your partner really gonna believe you're a demon if you wear something like that?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter if she believes me or not, just as long as she accepts me."

"I see. Well, if you don't have anything else you wanna do, let's go."

"Hai!"

I put on my dark brown leather boots and waited for 1291, then headed off towards the one and only, Akuma-sama.

Time Leap

"1290, 1291," Akuma-sama said, his hands behind his back. We did the same, raising our chins to face the great 'lord'. Akuma-sama's hair was a fire-y red, the spikes ending at the bottom of his neck. "I see you have found your partners."

"Yes, Akuma-sama," we said in unison.

"Well, I presume you're excited in meeting them, so I'll skip the chit-chat and get straight to the point. Are you ready?" Akuma-sama asked.

"Yes!" We said.

"Good. Now, close your eyes and concentrate solely on your partner. If you think about anything else, you will either end up somewhere else, or possibly malfunction. I highly doubt I need to explain what happens when you malfunction."

'This is the worst part of it all,' I thought, closing my eyes and picturing the small pink haired girl.

Amu POV

"Ouch..." I said quietly, inspecting my knee. "Tch, it's bleeding."

It was around afternoon, and I had made myself a little home inside a cave. There was a small fire raging beside me, keeping my small body warm. While running away from KANIN THAT BASTARD, I had found some clothes that fit me and a small blanket that would be plenty for me.

I had decided to go outside for some fresh air, when I spotted something that looked like a Rabid or possibly some vampire. I had rushed inside the cave, but tripped. And now my knee was bleeding.

'Should I go out?' I wondered. 'Meh, what have I got to lose.'

I stood up and was about to walk out, when someone appeared before me.

'It's a girl...' I noted.

She had beautiful, sleek black hair that was tied into a ponytail. Her eyes seemed black, but I couldn't tell with the fire shining in her eyes. She had her hands in the pockets of her coat. Her neck and her mouth were covered by the coat. She had tracksuit pants on and brown boots below that. Her coat opened up right at her waist, but ended at her ankles.

"Who are you?" I asked.

Her skin was pale, just like a vampire's. I backed up a few steps.

"Oh? You're wondering why my skin is so pale? Well, you can't blame me. After all, there's no sun in Hell," the girl said.

I narrowed my eyes in suspicion.

"Doumo. I'm a demon, and your partner," she said.


Lily: Hi! Short chapter, and WORST ENDING EVA.

Amu: ^_^; Doumo can mean thank you, but in this case it means hello.

Death: Tch. You getting lazy, Lily?

Lily: Huh?!

Death: It's just, the meeting was cut so abruptly.

Lily: What, did you want me to say more?

Death: Maybe.

Lily: Argh, but that wouldn't have been important.

Death: And you're saying everything else before the ending WAS important?

Lily: I never said that.

Amu: Um, that's enough you two...

Death & Lily: Stay outta this, Amu! *bicker bicker*

Amu: *sigh* Well, hope you guys enjoyed, and please review. :)
