-Dark Melody-

"Ami..." Amu said, frozen that her sister is the child that feels useless. Everyone just watched, astounded that Ami, sweetest little Ami, the one who believed she can do anything and everything with her voice, was the child with no hope. Nagihiko put his attention back to Amu. She was motionless..

"Amu." Nagihiko shook her a bit, breaking her from the trance. She looked at Nagi, and then back at Ami.

"Amu-chan, why is Ami feeling useless?" asked Miki, both worried and curious. "She always gets everyones attention at home and she hasnt seemed any different."

"I know..." Amu thought to herself. Since when has she been acting weird... actually... when I left the house... "That must be it." Amu suddenly realised. "Hey Guys" she said looking towards everyone. "That presence that Su, Ran, and Miki were feeling was Ami. Thats why they never found it outside. Shed always been inside the house." Su jumped up and realised something as well.

"Now that I think about it Desu~... Ami hasnt been asking to play with us lately..." Su said somewhat sad.

"And I havent heard her singing around the house as often..." Ran stated right after Su. All three girls seemed sad by how they did not realise the sudden change in Ami. Amu looked at them, then suddenly.

"C'mon guys.!" Rhythm said trying to bring the mood around. "Ami is still Ami.! She's in there somewhere! She just needs a little help to see who shes always been and still is.!" He said with a smile. Although it didnt fully cheer everyone up, It did raise their hopes a bit. Amu gave a slight smile at how enthusiastic Rythm is and nodded at him.

"Amu, we know you can help Ami." Temari said with a sweet smile.

"We will be right behind you, every step of the way." Dia said, hoping Amu felt better. With a small smile, Amu looked at all the charas. Nagihiko smiled at both his charas and agreed as well. Ran, Miki, and Su were uplifted quiet a bit as well and gave a smile, signaling that they are ready to help Amu at any moment.

"Im useless... I cant sing... everyone was wrong." said Amu. Encouraged by Nagi, Rythm, Temari, and the gurls, Amu instantly stood up from the bush, both the X-egg and Ami looking at her.

"YOUR WRONG AMI!" Amu yelled, Ami looking at Amu with eyes full of hatred. "You have a great voice! Even Utau herself has told you! Mama, Papa, Me! Everyone has told you that you have a great voice! You-" Amu stopped as she heard Ami whisper something.

"Just stop..." she said lightly as the X-egg began to glow a light purple ray. "Just stop it Onee chan... you dont undertand... no one understands..." Amu looked at Ami with a worried look, as well as everyone else.

"Ami, talk to me. Im your sister, you can talk to me about anything..." she said as she stepping out of the bushes. "Anything Ami. Anything you want to talk about. Im here. Ive always been here for you. You have a great voice Ami, but you need to realize, your still young. You will ge-" Amu was interrupted.

"NO!" Ami yelled, as the X-egg began to glow crazy with purple rays, going higher above Ami. "I wont get better! Mama, Papa, and Onee chan say Im better because your family! Utau says im good because she says that to every fan!" She yelled, leaving Amu speechless. "Every day at school Ive been told I cant sing! That I should stop because Im a no talent loser! All those kids!... Laughing at me..." She said suddenly looking sad. Amu couldnt help but cry, but she had to be strong. She had to try, for Ami. She had to be strong, for Ami.

"Amu, we have to..." Amu looked at Nagihiko as he said this and looked at her charas. They were worried but tried to put up a brave face like Amu.

"Dia." Amu said. Dia nodded.

"It wont happen again! They wont Laugh again! EVER!" Ami yelled, and suddenly she disappeared in the rays of the X-egg. Amu, Nagihiko, and the charas all looked away from how bright the rays were.

"Amu-chan!" Amu heard all four of her charas yell.

"Nagi!" Nagihiko heard Rythm yell. Nagihiko and Amu tried to look to see what was going on but could not. The ray was just too bright.

"Girls! Where are you!." Amu yelled as the Ray began to die down. Gradually gaining their sight back, both Amu and Nagihiko began to look around for their charas, but instead found something too much for Amu to handle. It was overwhelming to her.

"Dark Melody" said Ami, as she was standing, transformed. Amu thought... The X-egg must have been... hatched...

"This can't be happening." Amu said. Ami was standing in front of her and Nagihiko. Hair in a side pigtail. Black dress with a dark purple belt, an X on it. She was also wearing a black cape looking sweater on her shoulders with a dark purple color, and dark purple socks to her thighs along with black looked mad. Furious even.

"Amu! Amu!" Nagihiko yelled to get Amus attention. "Amu! Our charas!" He kept telling her. She snapped ouy of it and started looking for them.

"You wont find them." Ami said. Amu looked at Ami.

"Ami. What happened to them.?" Amu demanded from Ami. Nagihiko, standing right next to Amu awaited Ami's answer as well. Ami just smiled, devilishly, raising her hand at them, closed in a fist.

"Hollow" She opened her hand "Screech"and a burst of screeches surrounded Amu and Nagihiko, causing them to hold onto their ears from the terrible sound. When Amu looked up at Ami, she saw nothing but dark shards surround her, wildly, as the screech's continued.

-Amu POV-

Ami, how could this have happened to you. This sound, its heart aching and just horrible. How am I giong to stop her... I look at Nagihiko and he is trying so hard to ignore the sound, hands tight on his ears as he slowly goes down on his knees.

"Its too much Amu... chan..." he says. Im slowly getting to my knees as well. Its just too much... Ami... I look up and see her just with that smile hands on her hips... so unlike Ami... wait...

"AMI!" I yell as loud as i possible can to be louder than the screechs. It worked, I cant hear anything anymore. I look up at Ami and this time, she looks straight up mad.

"What.?" She says, straight forward. I get up on my feet and look straight at her.

"Ami, What happened? Why are you so mad?" I asked. I was curious and even more, worried. Ami looked to the side, not wanting to say a word. If there is hope in anything, there will still be a bit of Ami left and she will atleast give me as much as to telling me what had happened to get her so sad and mad. "Please Ami..." I asked. She then turned back to me.

"You want to know? Do you really want to know?" I nodd. "One day, I walk into class, as happy and preppy as I ever would when all of a sudden I hear these kids I passed say, "She isnt very good at singing and shes supposedly going to be just like Hoshina Utau" Then they laugh! They laughed at me.! I cant forget that day because on that same day, other kids started calling me a no talent loser! And you know what is the sad part? even after all that, on that day, I just decided to let it go and kept myself together, as if i never heard what they all said..." With tears forming in my eyes, I see a tear fall from Amis face as well to the floor. "And then... the folowing day, it was show and tell. I decided to take my mic and show all the kids how fun it was to sing, but it backfired... The moment I started singing, bit by bit...one by one... every kid started to laugh... "You cant sing.!" on of the kids say... and I yell back saying, "I can too! Utau herself said so!" and this just made one other kid laugh more as she said "Utau tells ALL of her fans that they sing good! Shes supposed to to HAVE fans.!" and that... that just crushed me... after that... I just couldnt anymore" She said as she wiped the tear of and then looking at me, in the eyes. I was crying. Poor Ami, I turn to see Nagihiko and he just looked at me. I bet he felt awful, not knowing what to do, especially since its Ami... We cant just attack her... Oh.!

"Nagihiko, how are we supposed to battle without our charas?" I said as i looked around, Nagihiko doing the same.

"Like I said before, you wont find them, and this time Onee chan. You wont stop me from stopping all those kids from laughing." Ami said as she got higher and higher into the dark sky. All of a sudden..

"Girls! Rhythm! Temari!" I yell as I see each chara in a transparent dark purple ball. They looked like they were calling for us but I cant hear anything... They formed a circle around Ami, slowly going up... What should I do... Without our charas... I look at Nagihiko.

"Amu, What should we do?" he sasked, just as stumped as I was.

"I dont know Nagihiko... I dont know..." I just watch as Ami kept going higher... "What is she doing..." I asked myself. Ami finally stopped going higher. Im sure she had the view of the whole town from where she was. She lifts her hands from her sides and says..

"Requiem Syphany!" as clouds start to form around the circle the girls, Temari and Rythm made.

"NO!" I yelled! "Ami! You cant do this! They dont deserve that! No one does!" I pleaded Ami to not continue with this, but she would only ignore me.

"Ami!" Nagihiko tries to get her attention but cant either. She cant hear either of us from that high above. I dont know what to do anymore. I cant... I dont know what to do... "Ami, im sorry..." Tears start to fall down my cheeck.

"White Wing!" That voice... I turn around and see..

"Utau!"
