Thank you ShadowedBlossom, LithiumTiger19, sylvanicara, Amarath the Immortal, Hime Cullen Tsukiyomi, shugo shugo, Xylophic, and eapl for reviewing. You guys are the reason I'm still writing this.
This is going so slowly... like I have to write a sentence or two while he isn't looking, upload it onto fanfiction, delete the file, and then continue writing it on fanfiction... on that edit thingy T_T so much more work for me...
It seems like that now that I actually have a set amount of time I can write... I write a lot faster... hmm...
Yori blinked and gasped in shocked. Instead of sitting on her couch, she was sitting on a fluffy white cloud. There was a sky with a beautiful, bright orange sunset glow surrounding her instead of the plain white walls of her living room.
"This isn't my house..." She whispered, confused.
"Of course it isn't," Amu snapped. She was crouched a couple of feet away from Yori. Though Amu's voice was sharp and filled with anger and frustration, her eyes told a different story. They were anxious and filled with fear.
"They found us," Amu whispered barely loud enough for Yori to hear. Then Yori understood.
Kami-sama... figured it out...? But that doesn't explain why I'm here...
Yori ran her fingers through her hair nervously. Then, she noticed something.
"My hair.. it's pink again... I thought I dyed it," Yori said, confused. Amu looked equally confused.
"I wouldn't know..." Amu muttered. "I've never dyed my hair before."
"That's because I had the dye undone," a voice behind them said. Amu and Yori turned around and saw a woman sitting on a different cloud. She was in a flowing white dress, and her beautiful black hair hung in ponytails down to her waist.
"Sarella..." Amu whispered. Sarella narrowed her eyes and stood up.
"I don't know which one of you said that," she snapped. "But it's not Sarella. It's Kami-sama. I was Sarella when I was on Earth, and now I'm Kami-sama, got it?"
Yori stood up.
"Why'd you bring us here?" She demanded. Sarella sighed.
"Girls with pink hair really are stupid..." She said. "I'm here because I've spend the last couple of days hunting for this 'Amu' person. I didn't really try to remember all the details for her, since I thought all I would have to do was look for a small teenager with pink hair. However, that's not the case. I find not one girl with pink hair, but two. And, since I didn't bother remembering anything else about 'Amu', I couldn't tell which one was her. That's for you guys to decide. I don't really care at this point anymore, just one comes with me and the other can go back. Oh, and you." She motioned to Yori. "I undid your dye so I could prove that your hair really was pink."
Yori rolled her eyes.
"I liked my hair brown more..." She muttered under her breath, but Sarella heard and glared at Yori. Amu stood up.
"Kami-sama," she said. "I'm A-"
"No she isn't," Yori interupted. "I am."
Amu raised an eyebrow, then smiled politely at Sarella.
"Can we have a moment?" She asked sweetly. Sarella sighed and nodded. Amu walked over to Yori.
"What are you doing?!" She hissed. Yori shrugged.
"Pretending to be you," She replied. "Got a problem with that?"
Amu hesitated.
"Actually," she said slowly. "Yes, I do have a problem with that. I mean, you love Ikuto, too, don't you? I heard it in all of your thoughts back then. If I was back up here with Sarella, then you would have me out of the way, wouldn't you? And now you're willing to give up your life for me?!"
Yori thought for a moment.
"You have a point," she said. "But, Ikuto wouldn't be happy with me. I want him happy, and that'll only happen if you're there with him. And, besides, I've come to sort of like you. Like the twin sister I never had. I mean, I know that you made me jump of a building and all that, but still. While you were possessing me, I could feel all of the pain that you felt. All the sadness you felt that you couldn't be with Ikuto, all the loneliness from dying before any of your friends or family members did, everything. That helped me learn that you have feelings, too. You weren't just that ignorant bitch that I thought you were at first. You were a lot like me. Sad, lonely..."
Amu felt tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't say that," She said between her tears. "You're making me feel even more guilty for making you jump off that building..."
Yori laughed and pulled Amu into a hug.
"I'm going to make Sarella believe that I'm Amu," she whispered. "And there's nothing you can do to stop me. I'll stop at nothing to make sure Ikuto's happy."
Amu smiled.
"You really do love Ikuto," she said. "In a twisted kind of way..."
Yori grinned sheepishly.
"He's all yours," she said. "All my clothes are yours. I want my furniture given to my parents, my house donated to charity, and my food to go to Ikuto. He bought a hell of a lot of food at the gas station, so I thought he might need it."
Amu's smile grew bigger.
"Thanks..." She whispered.
"Are you two done yet?" Sarella called out impatiently.
"Yup," Yori said. She walked over to Sarella.
"Kami-sama," she said. "I'm Amu. Nice seeing you again."
Sarella raised en eyebrow.
"Funny," she said. "How last time you were here... you weren't this nice... but whatever." She motioned to the real Amu. "I'll send you back right away."
Yori held up a hand.
"Wait a minute," she said. "I'm only going to go willingly if you change my hair back to brown."
Sarella thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers. Yori's hair was instantly brown again. Yori smiled, and Sarella turned back to Amu.
"Just close your eyes," she instructed. "And count to 20. After counting, open your eyes, and you should be back home."
Amu nodded and closed her eyes.
Thanks Yori... you don't know how much this means to me. I can finally be human again... 1... 2... 3.... 4... 5... 6... 7.... 8... 9... 10... 11... 12.... 13... 14.... 15.... 16.... 17.... 18... 19... 20...
Amu opened her eyes, and found herself surrounded by blackness.
Power must still be out...
All of a sudden, the lights began to flicker again, and soon the lights were fully on again.
"That was interesting..." Amu murmured gratefully. "Interesting in a good way. Now, where are you Ikuto?"
She began to walk around to look for him, but tripped suddenly on something laying on the ground. Amu looked behind her to see what tripped her, and saw a bundle of blue hair. It was Ikuto. Amu crawled back next to him, and noticed that there was a cut on his face, beginning from the top of his head all the way down to his neck. It was a fresh cut, since it was still bleeding. Amu gasped in shock and shook Ikuto.
"Ikuto...?" She said. No response.
"Ikuto!" She called out frantically, tears forming in here eyes again. "Wake up! Wake up... please..."
Review. NOW. See you on Thursday, since I can't write on tomorrow T_T
