OMG I'M UPDATING FAST! YOU PEOPLES REALLY NEED TO THANK ME FOR THIS! I DESERVE MONNEY! I REALLY DO! ANWAY! ARIA (that's me XD) DOES NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA IN ANYWAY! OKAY!? GOOD! ON WITH THE STORY!

Xxx

Utau stared at the boy's back; He was currently rummaging through his back getting his keys out to open the door. She noticed he was still holding onto her hand, and a light blush crept up onto her cheeks, what was she getting so worked up about? It was just some kid helping her in her time of need. Yes that's it.

Utau's head shot up when she heard a click and the door open. She blinked and stared as he went inside and took his shoes off.

"Come on Utau."

She mumbled a quick thanks before entering and shivering from the coldness, water dripping she stared blankly at the floor one hand holding onto his and the other numbly holding onto her school bag.

.

.

.

Silence. Once again there was an awkward silence

"Hey guys! Kukai bought a girl home!"

Utau blinked and saw Kukai face palm. She then realised her eyes were still red and puffy and instantly stayed behind Kukai, furiously trying to wipe away the evidence of crying, it was bad enough that the kid saw she didn't want anyone else to.

Before she knew it she was surrounded by 4 more boys. Oh God. More people! This just wasn't her day.

Kukai sighed before speaking "Uh guys, this is Utau. Utau these are...my brothers" He said the last part extremely unenthusiastically.

Utau sighed, not wanting to seem like some weak shy girl she stepped forward and said a quick hey with her hands stuffed in her blazer pockets.

Before anyone of his brother's could speak Kukai instantly grabbed Utau's hand and said bye a little too quickly before bolting up the stairs towards his room dragging poor Utau along with him. Utau stared at him as he opened the door to reveal his light green room, it was pretty average. Posters of famous sports people, it was all mostly soccer though.

Utau stepped into his room right after him and watched him open his closet to pull out a short sleeved t-shirt and some baggy pants and a belt. Once pulling them all out he handed her the clothes.

"Here, wear these for the time being since your...uhh...clothes are wet."

She looked up at him before taking the clothes and mumbling another thanks.

"You can use the bathroom to change; it's just the second door to the right"

She numbly nodded and put her bag down before walking towards the bathroom.

She stared at the doorknob before slowly opening it and walked in, locked the door and changed into the clothes, the shirt ended just before her knees, the pants where seriously too big for her so it was a good thing he gave her a belt. She examined herself in the mirror, well. It wasn't perfect but she shrugged it off.

She stared at herself in the mirror. Just what on earth was going on? She leaned against the door and slid down hugging her knees. Why did her life have to be so complicated? Why did she feel so...sad? She was ashamed on how she had overreacted when she saw Ikuto. But, she noticed he had scratches.

She ran a hand through her blonde hair, why did he seem...so cold? His eyes...they seemed to lifeless. He looked so lifeless. Whenever she usually saw him he was normally just distant. He didn't usually seem so cold...

"Hey Hoshina! You alright in there?"

Fuck. She blinked and realised that she was crying. Fuck, fuck, fuck! She immediately started wiping her tears away.

"..Utau?"

"Y-Yeah I'm fine!"

Oh God her voice was breaking.

She quickly got up and opened the door and looked up to meet a pair of emerald green eyes.

Whoa...was he always this tall?

"..Utau"

"..Y-Yeah?"

She cursed herself for stuttering and allowing that...kid to call her by her name!

"..You've been crying"

Fuck! She instantly started wiping her tears away furiously

Dear God this was not good! How could she stoop low enough to cry in front of someone?! Her eye's darted open as she found herself in contact with a chest.

Oh God it was his chest. She began to blush furiously

"W-Wha-"

"Shh..."

"But-!"

She could feel her blush increase as she felt two strong arms around her.

"Cry."

She blinked. She did not expect that

"Wait what?"

"Cry" He repeated

She could already feel hot tears cascading down her delicate cheeks.

Finally she couldn't take it anymore as she busted out crying having both her arms grip onto the back of his shirt.

Why?

Why?! Why did this kid have such an effect on her? She only met him this morning! She hardly knew him! Yet she was desperately holding onto him crying her heart out! She barely knew him! All she knew was that his favourite colour was green and that he loved soccer! And yet...she felt so...so strange around him. It didn't feel like a bad thing, she actually liked spending time with him, but why had she let her walls down for him? She was letting her guard down, but honestly didn't care at the moment. She was just glad that someone was actually willing to go through all this trouble for her.

Xxx

After a while her endless crying had finally stopped, she loosened her grip and finally let her hands drop down. Her sobbing had finally come to an end as she gazed up towards him.

"...Souma?"

She stared at him, when he didn't reply. It seemed like he was in some kind of trance.

She blushed slightly realising his arms we're still around her slim figure

"Souma?"

Still no reply.

"...Kukai!"

He blinked and stared at her in surprise

"U-Utau?"

"Uh Kukai?"

"Yeah?"

"...Do you mind, letting go of me now?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, Gomen." He instantly let go of her and the second he did she instantly regretted it.

Wait. No. She did not regret it! She was perfectly fine with him letting go.

PERFECTLY fine.

She shook her head before looking back towards his face

He scratched the back of his head awkwardly "So uh"

She sighed before shaking her head and walking into his room and walking towards her bag, she bent down and got her phone out, she looked at her inbox and sighed heavily when noticing that she didn't get any texts. She was hoping Ikuto was home and would at least text her asking about her whereabouts or something. She groaned then turned it off.

She looked up at him "Your sleeping on the floor"

He blinked, looking dumbfounded for a moment before grinning "Awwh, but Utau wouldn't it be better if we just slept to-"

He was rewarded by a pillow being chucked at his head; he just started laughing putting the pillow back where it originally was.

"Geez woman, I was just kidding."

Utau shook her head before crawling into his bed and hiding under the covers.

Utau heard a sigh and peeped through the covers to see Souma getting out a blanket and a pillow and putting them on the floor.

Utau rolled over once the lights went out and stared at the ceiling. What was she going to do tomorrow? She still had not done her homework and had to make an excuse for skipping the last class of the day! She groaned and buried her face into the pillow and inhaled deeply. It smelt just like him, a small smile crept onto Utau's face but vanished as quickly as it came.

"Hey Utau"

Utau blinked and rolled over to face him

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Well that Depends on the question."

She heard a small chuckle.

"But seriously Utau"

"Hm?" His voice sounded serious, she raised an eyebrow at that. After all you wouldn't think that this kid even knew what being serious was.

"...Why did you skip class? Just what we're you thinking sitting out there in the pouring rain? Why didn't you just call your parents or something?"

She said nothing, Utau bit her lip, oh God she hoped he wouldn't ask that

"Utau!"

Utau's eyes widened when she found herself staring into a pair of neon green eyes.

"Wha-"

"Utau. Tell me. Please?"

She stared. Dear God what was she supposed to say? She wasn't about to tell her life story to some kid she had met less than 24 hours ago.

"Look, can we not talk about it? My parents are out of town okay?"

"Don't you have any siblings or something? Where were they?"

Utau froze. How could she answer that question when she didn't even know the answer herself?

"It's...Personal okay?"

She heard him sigh.

Oh Lord this was going to be a long night.

Xxx

Utau sighed, She was currently walking to school with that Souma kid next to her babbling away about something.

"So you think you'll be able to get into your house today?" He asked grinning like a goof

She sighed a hand running through her long hair "Yeah, probably. I'll wash the clothes you lent me and give them back tomorrow."

"Heh, you can keep those"

She raised an eyebrow "Why?"

"Well they don't really fit me anymore and I'm the youngest and shortest one in the family" He said with a shrug

"Yeah but it's not like I'll be wearing them"

"Who knows? You might"

She let out a sigh "Highly doubt that" she said with a small smile and lightly punched his arm.

He grinned "Oh? Is that a smile I see?"

She blinked and her smile vanished and her cool facade returned "Oh in your dreams Sounma"

"Oh Please Hoshinka, we both know it's true"

Utau rolled her eyes. This was their new thing, they would have small playful arguments and call each other by those nick names.

As Utau walked into the school gates with 'Sounma' as she liked to call him. She could hear a whole bunch of bickering around her.

"Hey, Isn't that Souma Kukai of the guardians and Hoshina Utau?"

"Oh My Gosh It is! Are they going out?!"

A vein popped out of Utau's head she kept her cool facade and looked emotionless, keeping every part of her face blank, there was no way she was letting her mask crack this time. Souma on the other hand was grinning like the idiot he was and waving to every single person he saw.

Utau shook her head "Idiots." She mumbled.

Utau walked into the school and opened her locker and getting her books out. On the outside she seemed calm and looked like she didn't care about what was going on, on the inside however her mind was whirling. She was thinking of excuses to tell the teachers about her homework and what not. She wasn't about to say she spent the night at that grinning idiot's place. That would put wrong images into people's head's. Utau shuddered at the thought and shut her locker before walking off to her class.

Xxx

Utau walked into her class and saw just about everyone stare at her, she could see that, that Souma kid was already sitting down and also staring, his Green eyes locking with her amethyst eyes. She quickly snapped out of it and looked towards the teacher her facade taking over.

"Ah Miss Hoshina, So glad that you could join us"

She stared blankly looking in some other direction.

"Care to tell us where you went off to yesterday?"

"Doctor's appointment" She said bluntly, still staring in some other direction.

"Oh? Did you go with anyone?"

"No." She replied, staring out the window

"Well I distinctly remember you talking with that Tsukiyomi Ikuto kid"

Utau could off sworn she saw Souma and that pink haired kid give each other some kind of a look.

"Well, he is my brother, is talking to my sibling a bad thing?" She replied coolly.

"W-Well no but-"

Utau sighed "If that's all then I would like to get back to my seat."

She ignored all the stares she was getting and sat down in an empty space next to the window and stared out of it. From the corner of her eye she could she the teacher looking shocked with her mouth open into a small 'o' shape, her face flushed.

"M-Miss Hoshina I did not give you permission to sit down."

Utau ignored her and continued staring out of the window.

"Miss Hoshina!"

She was beginning to get tired of this,

"What?" she replied icily.

"I will not accept this kind of behaviour in my classroom!"

She looked up at the teacher and sighed before getting up and walking towards the exit

"Just where do you think you're going?!"

Utau just rolled her eyes and left the classroom before heading towards the principles' office.

She walked into the waiting room and sat down on a chair, getting her IPod out of her pocket she started listening to music.

Just what was she doing? She was beginning to act like Ikuto. Why was she suddenly misbehaving? If her step-father found out he'd waste no time beating her into a pulp with a belt! She groaned before staring ahead.

She started playing with her hair waiting for the Principle to call her.

"Miss Hoshina"

Utau's head shot up, she pulled out her earpieces and shoved them into her pocket along with her IPod and got up and walked into his office.

He sighed looking at her "Now Utau mind telling me why you were sent here?"

Utau blinked "I wasn't sent here" she said shrugging "I just felt like coming"

He raised an eyebrow at her "Why?"

She sighed "I needed some time off. I've been...Dealing with allot of stuff recently."

He nodded, seemingly understanding before sighing. "Okay. I'll give you some time to walk around the building but be back in class before second period,

She nodded and got up out of her chair and left the office and began walking around the giant building.

xxx

Utau currently had her ears busy with her earpieces and was walking around the school campus.

"Second Period..." She muttered to herself. Just what was she going to do for 45 minutes? She was lost in thought. Her step-father was coming back today. If she didn't get that text this morning she probably would off stayed at Souma's place for the rest of the week until she got that key thing sorted.

What was she going to do? Her step-father was abusive most of the time if something didn't go his way. Huh. It was probably why Ikuto was never around. He probably got sick of him and just...dropped out. Leaving her to go through the pain all alone.

Utau bumped into some sort of glass building "What the-!" she groaned rubbing her nose "Who put that building there!" She glared towards the small glass house like building, as if it was it's fault.

Utau muttered a whole bunch of cusses and gently touched her nose and winced when she felt the pain.

"Huh...So THIS is the famous royal garden I've been hearing about" she said, eyes narrowing.

She instantly turned around and began to walk away from it. "Stupid royal garden glass building hurting my nose" She began to ramble while walking and started walking past a soccer field.

Huh, A soccer field. She stared towards it. She wondered why that Souma kid even liked soccer. She had to admit it was fun in a way, but it was tiring. Utau wasn't really much of a big fan of soccer but seeing him being so happy talking about it made her happy in a way. She smiled as she pictured him in a soccer jersey. It would defiantly suit him.

Shaking her head she continued on her walk. She wanted to go back inside as she felt the cold air rush towards her face. As she walked through the building she was about to pass the hall and then stopped and stared at the stage.

Oh how she loved the stage. She loved to sing, it was her passion. The one thing that had always made her happy. Singing and music where always what she used to block out reality, After all the real world was a cruel place to be in. It was either you win or lose. And Utau lived to win.

Xxx

Utau sighed as she heard the bell ring, well. Her fun was over. She jumped of the stage and began walking towards her next class. What was it again? Oh yes music, Oh the irony.

As she made her way towards the music room she began to wonder why she even stopped homeschooling. It was much easier having private tutors come to her house rather than her having to go to school.

She turned her IPod of and put her things away before opening the door and receive a whole bunch of stares by the rest of the class.

"Look! It's Hoshina Utau!"

"Ehh! She's so pretty! I wish I was like her!"

"I know right! Did you hear about what she did in first period?"

Oh how she loathed being popular. She sat down in a spare seat and stared ahead blankly, hardly listening to all the bickering going on around her.

"Oh Ho, Ho, Ho!"

Oh Lord, Utau instantly swear dropped. "Here comes Santa Claus..." she muttered, before shaking her head.

"Oh! Tadase-kun! Souma-Kun! Fujisaki-kun!" Saaya squealed, then she saw Hinamori and Mashiro.

"Oh...Hello Hinamori-san, Mashiro-san"

Utau rolled her eyes, Typical. Saaya was only sucking up to Hinamori and Mashiro so she could get close to the other three. Utau sighed but watched anyway.

"Tadase-kun! Souma-kun! Fujisaki-kun sit here!" Saaya screeched patting a seat next to her, her crew all nodding and squealing.

Ugh. Utau inwardly groaned. All this squealing was giving her a headache! Just what did she do to deserve this?

Utau opened her notebook, she knew nobody would dare to sit next to her. She was too...distant, nowhere near social. She started doodling in her notebook but continued to listen to they're convocation.

"Ah, Gomen Yamabuki-san! But I promised Hinamori-san I would sit next to her." Tadase told her, Saaya's face dropped but soon regained hope as she turned to face Souma and Fujisaki . "That's okay Tadase-kun! What about you two?"

Heh. Utau could almost laugh, She would bet that Fujisaki would sit next to Mashiro-san and Souma would probably sit next to his friends from his soccer team. Well that or next to the rest of the guardians.

"Gomen Saaya! But I usually sit with Rima-chan" Fujisaki Nagihiko spoke as he smiled and went of to sit next to Mashiro Rima who was sitting next to Hinamori Amu who was sitting next to Hotori Tadase.

Okay, Correction. Utau was on the verge of laughing but somehow managed to keep a straight face. Oh God she got rejected twice. She was glad her notebook was there to distract her. She smiled as she continued to write in her notebook.

"W-Well What about you Souma-kun? You'll sit with me right?"

Oh God the way her voice sounded so desperate! She could just imagine the way her facial expression was, her copy cat's of a crew we're probably as shocked as she was. Utau snickered at the thought.

"Sorry Saaya but nope! I'm sitting with Utau."

Utau's eyes widened, she nearly dropped her pen! Good Lord what was that boy trying to get into? And he said her first name! Why'd he have act so familiar with her!

"E-EH?! Your sitting with Utau?! Like Hoshina Utau?!"

"Uhh...Yeah?"

Oh God. Her mind seemed to mentally scream every single swear word she knew.

"B-But-!"

Utau then pretended like she didn't have a clue on what was going on and continued to write in her Lilac and black notebook, as she felt the presence of a familiar grinning idiot sit next to her.

"Hey Hoshinka!" He said plainly, like nothing in the world just happened.

Utau blinked, then rolled her eyes before turning towards the ginning idiot

"Well hello there Sounma"

Before he could come up with a come back the music teacher instantly ran in.

"Sorry I'm late class! I was in a car crash! And I had to go to hospital to get my stitches and then I had to go-"

Utau face palmed as the mad woman continued to babble more nonsense.

"Any way class I will like to see your musical talents! Like I said last lesson I wanted you to prepare some kind of song. Instrumental or not, So when I call your name please show me what you can do, we have all the instruments here!"

Utau's eyes lit up though her facial expression stayed blank. However Souma caught this and raised an eyebrow but decided to say nothing.

"Now, Ayumi Ayzawa-" And the list went on and on and on. Utau thought that she would go deaf from most of the people! Other weren't so bad. Like Hinamori Amu and Mashiro Rima.

"Yamabuki Saaya."

Utau turned her head to look at her and she smirked and stood up her skirt was shorter than most of the girl's skirts as she had slightly cut them with a pair of scissors. Utau shook her head. How stupid.

Saaya had decided to rely on her vocals as she opened her mouth.

"YoU sAy ThAt I'm mEsSiNg wItH yOuR hEaD"

Utau instantly covered her ears as she began singing! She was horribly off key and just sounded like a tone deaf walrus.

"aLl CaUsE' i WaS mAkInG oUt WiTh YoUr FrIeNdS-"

"Oh! That's quite enough!"

Utau mentally thanked the lords and the teacher and turned around to notice everyone else also looked relived...And pale, as they removed they all removed their hands from they're heads.

Saaya pouted but stayed quiet and went to sit down

"Now" She said adjusting her glasses. "Hoshina Utau?"

Utau blinked, then noticed it was her before letting out a deep breath and got up and walked towards the piano then sat down putting her music sheets in front of her, onto the piano.

She let out a breath before she started playing.

"Hoshi wo kakushiteru utsumuita hitomi ni
Tomadou dake nani mo dekinakute
Te to te kasanete mo dokoka gikochinai ne
Yume no naka mitai ni waratte yo "

Her voice soared throughout the hall. Everyone stayed silent staring in awe as they watched the blonde haired angel continue.

"Yoru no kanata hibiku senritsu
Atsui mune wa sawagidasu

Sasayaku Blue Moon te wo nobashitara
Sugu ni todokisou na no ni
Itsumo yasashiku hohoemu dakede
Oikakete wa kurenai ne"

Through the corner she saw Souma wide eyed before calming down and smiling. It wasn't one of those goofy grins he had. Or one of his competitive smirks. It was a genuine smile.

Ichibyou ichibyou hikaru sunatsubu da ne
Hitotsubu mo kobosenai wasurenai
Kiete shimai so na hosoku togaru tsuki ga
Muboubi na senaka ni tsume wo tate

Amaku nokoru kizuato fukaku
Kizamu akashi daiteite

Hakanai Blue Moon doushite kimi wo
Suki ni natte shimatta no
Onaji bamen de togireta mama no
Kanashi sugiru monogatari

Miageru Blue Moon kimi wo omou toki
Watashi no jikan wa tomaru

Nageki no Blue Moon hatenai yami no
Fukasa ni nomikomareteku
Kanawanakute mo aishiteimasu
Itsuka sora ga sakete mo"
Her eyes gazed across the room before locking with a pair of emerald green eyes for less than a couple seconds. She then looked back at the keys while singing the last line.

"Eien ni omotteimasu..."

When she finished the room fell silent. Before the whole class started clapping. Well, everyone apart from Yamabuki Saaya of course. The jealous Bitch just glared at Utau.

Even the teacher stood up and was clapping, she was astonished as she went to shower Utau with endless compliments and such.

Utau just shrugged like it meant nothing but that didn't stop her from letting out a small smile when no one was looking.
