A.N.

Still don't know what the fuck I am doing, and I feel too emoy from yesterday...whatever let's write I guess.

-LINE-

I...I feel like I'm fading...falling into darkness...am I dying now?

This sense of falling feels kind of nice, peaceful even but as I try to look around all I see is darkness and emptiness. Closing my eyes, I let myself think about my life, even though there isn't much to tell. Living a lie almost, wanting to have friends others to help me but instead I shut others out. Reaching my hands up, I believe that I can feel tears coming out of them, but falling up. So weird, I want this to end if I'm to die I want it to end now.

Curling slightly, I have all my breath taken from me, and it stops. The falling, the darkness, it is all gone. Arms are around my shoulders and under my legs and I slowly blink my eyes open.

"Hello there Neku." Joshua says, smiling brightly. "I'm glad I saved you as well. Well have to save the best for last, right?" He grins down at me.

Staring at him I wonder what he means. "...What?" I ask, hearing my voice crack a little.

A sigh comes from his mouth, and he gets a quite, upset face to him. "Shibuya...it was destroyed and I couldn't do anything to help. Well besides save you guys." And he jerks his head over to the left. Moving my head up I see Shiki, Beat and Rhyme...then I notice I'm still in Joshua's arms and I blush.

"Put...me...down..." I growl out, getting a little mad at how he is holding me...and also how embarrassing it seems.

"Fine Nekky." Joshua says, helping me back on my feet. My balance feels so wobbly, that I lean on him some, and don't even say anything bad about him reaching out and grabbing my waist to help me.

"Okay so what happened, yo? Why you bring us here and what happened? I want some answers and I wanted them yesterday." Beat growls, holding onto Rhyme. Being a big brother can be difficult I bet. Though it seems like Rhyme loves all the attention sh

"Like I said Beat: Shibuya is gone, and we are all that is left of it." Joshua grumbled out, clutching his hand on my waist more. Wait...is he moving his hand up?

"Fine, but what does it mean now yo?" Beat calms down, laying his skate board on the ground and putting Rhyme on it playing a little with her. A smile comes on her face and I'm glad at least she is smiling for us all...

"At least we are safe Beat, that matters most, right?" Rhyme mumbles out, pulling at her cap. "Since Joshua saved us at least you could maybe be saying thank you instead of being so mad. Okay big bro?" And a light giggle comes out of her mouth.

"Oh I don't mind Rhyme. As long as I can try and rebuild the Shibuya that we once knew that would be good." Joshua brushed the words off, sitting us down on the steps near where Shiki was looking at her Piggy-oh ummm Mr. Mew.

She looks up as we sit, and she looks back at her doll. "How are we going to fight here though. Mr. Mew isn't working like we had in the games Joshua."

Looking at Joshua I wonder what the hell is all of this going on about. "Well I think this is called Transverse Town, and the things we fought against before aren't really noises. They are Dreameaters and we have two different categories here of them: Nightmares and Spirits." Then he cups his hand a little under his chin and thinks a little. "I guess we'll all have to bond to a Sprite and see what happens then."

"Okay..." I say, stretching my legs out. "And we bond with them, oh wise one?"

"I don't know Nekky, just try and get into a fight with the Nightmares hmmm?" Joshua joked, wrapping his hand around my shoulder. Calmly I peel his fingers off and roll my eyes.

"Fine." I say hopping off. "Well I don't want to become erased, or is that not a problem here?" And I cross my arms looking at him.

"It maybe a problem, but I recommend not trying it out." Joshua giggles, watching me. "Well be shot go get a Spirit then."

"I will, geez." I groan out, stomping away almost. There, here's now or nothing, I think as some Nightmares come up against me. Fending my head I block out some of their attacks but still they rain down on me and then I feel a gut wrenching feeling and a musical sound comes from my side. Looking down I see a cat like thing that has bells on top of its' ears, and a tail like a music note. Watching it, I see it take out the Nightmares then easily come hopping back to me.

Smiling slightly, I crouch down to it's level and look at it. So this is my Spirit, I think as I reach out and pet it, making it purr. A whoosh comes from my right and I see a bunny like thing go and attack some threatening Nightmares.

"Go Mr. Bunny!" Shiki giggles, going after the flopping eared rabbit thing. Standing up my Spirit rubs itself between my legs, as I look around at the others and how they are doing. Beat looks like he has this big panda bear like one, as he stays close to Rhyme wielding a flower dancing one that seemed to be using a record scratching tone. Team work is always great.

Looking around I don't catch sight of Joshua at all. Then a flying horse-pegasus comes to a stop fluttering down with Joshua on its' back. "So I see everything went well for you too dear~" Joshua giggles, jumping off of his pegasus thing. He looks at me with my cat like Spirit and smiles. "I think he suits you very nicely. Both of you have lots in common I bet. The name, the cute look, and the way you like music."

I glare at him because of his comment, but then soften my look as I catch his look of sadness. "...whatever." I utter instead, looking slightly away playing with my headphones. "And Josh...thanks for at least bringing us here. We'll be able to get Shibuya back, I know it!" And I grin at him, closing my eyes as I do. Faintly I feel the brush of what it seems like a kiss on my lips, but it is quickly gone as I open my eyes. A smirking Joshua looks back at me holding a secret I might not want to know within his eyes, and we gather the gang up to view this place and figure out what to do for now. Transverse Town, huh?

A.N.

Ummm my take twisting with the twewy people in transverse town sort of messed up a bit, sorry! Umm the sprites I think of for them are as follows, Neku- his Neko Cat like shown in the cut scenes Shiki- Me Me Bunny Beat-Kooma Panda Rhyme-Wheeflower and Joshua-Pegaslick. All...because I can and it is cute damn it! Good night maybe now :3

Hmmm...oh yeah and thank you to all my followers, favers, and reviewers. I love you all! (And if you fall into the category of all three you are even more special!)
