Xxx

Utau groaned, she wondered if singing back then was really a good idea, ever since that incident she had been constantly flooded with compliments from all over the school, and her popularity had increased.

Sighing she ran a hand through her beautiful blonde hair, whilst leaning against the school wall she stared blankly at her phone, Hundreds of thoughts running through her head. For one thing she wondered just how that Souma kid had gotten her number, He would constantly text her when in class.

Another thing that was on her mind was on her father. He was supposedly at home right now; she groaned and continued to re-read the text her father had sent her in this morning.

Utau,

I will be returning home from my business trip today, I expect that you have been well behaved during my absence and that there have been no problems what so ever.

-Father

Utau glared at her phone, as if it was its fault. She honestly didn't want to put up with her father's bullshit.

Sighing Utau kicked a pebble while walking around the school. She was currently skipping 4th period, Math. Utau had been doing that a lot recently; it wasn't as if it was her fault. The poor girl just had lots of things she had to work out.

While walking Utau began to wonder if skipping class was a good idea, considering her father would be returning today, and to make things worse Utau doubted Ikuto would be returning today, the possibilities were extremely unlikely.

Utau sighed once again before plopping her phone into her pocket as her ears were busy with her iPod. Nobody's Home by Avril Lavigne. The lyrics had honestly touched her.

'She wants to go home, but nobody's home, it's where she lies, broken inside.'

She continued to walk straight ahead, around the campus, her feet aimlessly wondering of.

'She's lost inside, lost inside'

Those words kept repeating in her head, mocking her. Was she really lost? Was she mentally lost? Thousands of thoughts ran through her head as she continued to walk.

Just who was she?

She continued to walk before coming across the school's soccer field, subconsciously her eyes wondered onto some students currently having PE. She stared at she watched a person score a goal and high five their teammates.

"Good job Ryo!" the person who's name appeared to be Ryo was high fiving his fellow teammates.

"Thanks! I defiantly want to be a soccer player when I grow up!"

Utau froze. A dream? Utau's eyes seemed to sadden at that. Dreams never worked out for her, Dreams were stupid. All they did were put hopes into the person before they got bitterly pushed down onto the ground and stepped on.

-Flashback

"Mama!" A young Utau seemed to call smiling happily and pointing towards the TV "I want to be a singer when I grow up! Idol's always seem to make everyone smile! That's what I want to do!"

-End of flashback

Utau snapped out of it and shook her head as she heard the bell ring, snapping her out of her thoughts. She noticed that the field was empty and sighed before taking a seat in the bleachers. The wind blew her hair gently as she tucked a loose strand behind her ear.

She stared ahead. The bell had rang, so what lesson did she have now? Art? Utau buried her head in her hands as she cleared her head. What should she do? Return to class or continue to wonder?

Utau's head shot up as she felt a vibration come from her blazer pocket, she raised an eyebrow before pulling her IPhone 5 out of her pocket. A small smile came onto her lips as she saw she had gotten a text from Souma. She rolled her eyes before entering her code then went to read the text the idiot sent.

To: Hoshina Utau

From: Souma Kukai

Subject: I'm bored!

Oi Utau, Where were you during Math? I was going to die from boredom! You skipping again?

Utau rolled her eyes at how childish he could be.

To: Souma Kukai

From: Hoshina Utau

Subject: RE I'm bored!

None of your business idiot; Besides, I highly doubt you would of died. And if you must know then YES I am skipping but I'm still in the school premises. I have a hell lot of things in my mind right now and I'm in no mood to return to that hell hole. Oh, and shouldn't you be in class?

Utau stared at the text, suddenly having second thoughts about pressing send. Did she seem to harsh? Should she re-do it?

She vigorously shook her head. What was she doing? Of course she was going to send it! But her finger stayed as still as a boulder. She groaned, what was wrong with her? Getting all worked up over a text. She then re-read the message and then finally had the guts to press send.

She stared at her phone waiting for a reply.

Tick tock, tick tock.

Utau blinked. Just where on earth was she hearing a clock from? She was outside for heavens' sakes! She came to the conclusion that her mind was playing tricks on her as she got up and continued to walk around the campus.

Her eye brows rose slightly as she saw that cursed glass building. The same one that had hurt her poor nose! She growled at it but noticed through that she could make out some figures from inside, after all it was glass.

She blinked. Oh God if they saw her they would think she was some kind of odd stalker or something. Utau sweat dropped at that and began walking away from it, but from the corner of her eye she could make out some of the members eating cake and sitting around a table.

Her eyes narrowed. Figures, the guardians always got special treatment and were allowed to skip classes with no trouble at all while she had to face year long lectures.

She blinked as she felt her phone vibrate again as she pulled it out and read the text.

To: Hoshina Utau

From: Souma Kukai

Subject: RE: RE: I'm bored!

Heh, Well I think I would of! Ehh so your skipping cause' you've got things in your mind you need to work out? Oh and No I shouldn't be in class. I'm at a VERY important life threatening meeting right now and yet I'm talking to you! You really should be nicer Idol.

Utau blinked. Idol? Just where in the name of the lord did he get that!

To: Souma Kukai

From: Hoshina Utau

Subject: RE: RE: RE: I'm bored!

Idol? Just what on earth convinced you to call me that! And Yes I am Sounma I currently have a lot of things running through my mind that a kid like you probably wouldn't understand. 'A VERY important life threatening meeting' huh? Well how lovely.

From the corner of her eye she could still see the royal garden and the people in it. She raised an eyebrow as she saw the idiot having his phone snatched away by some blonde looking girl- or was it boy? Utau couldn't make out who it was. Was it that Tadase kid? Either way Utau honestly didn't care about it. She continued to walk further away from the royal garden.

Xxx

Utau sighed as she opened her locker getting her things out. It was already after school, she heard footsteps getting closer as she was organising her locker.

"Oi! Idol-san!"

Utau's eye twitched. There was only one person in the world who could be the source of that dreadful voice.

Utau sighed as she slammed her locker shut and turned to look at the hyperactive kid.

"What now Ramen Boy?"

Utau could of sworn she saw a glint of amusement in his eyes.

"Oh? Ramen Boy? Where'd you get that nick name from?"

Utau shrugged before pointing towards his bag with was stuffed with instant ramen. "Kind of hard not to call you that after looking at that thing."

He just laughed which caused Utau to huff. "So? What do you need?"

"Well You sorted out the key thing right?"

Utau sweat dropped "Yes Souma we went through this already."

He gave a small smile "Yeah I know, but I was just checking considering how forgetful you are."

She blinked, well she certainly didn't expect that. "And just how am I forgetful?"

"Well for one thing you left your keys at home."

Utau felt heat rise towards her cheeks. "That was a common mistake! Anyone could of done that!"

He just smirked "Well I'll see you around Idol!"

Utau raised an eyebrow "Another meeting?"

He looked taken back for a minute before quickly regaining his cocky attitude. "Oh? How'd you know? Have you turned into one of my fan girl's already Idol?"

Utau felt like smacking that smug look right of his face but remained calm. "No but you make it hard not to assume that if you're walking in the direction of the fire exit which lead to the soccer field right next to that cursed glass building which hurt my nose."

Utau almost winced at the memory. Oh how she loathed that wretched glass building!

Kukai's eye brows shot up in amusement "Oh? Hurt your nose? Tell me more."

Utau glared. "Forget this I'm going home."She stuck her tongue out at him and turned around and began to walk down the corridor, but could still hear his faint chuckling from a distance.

"Well see you around then Utau!"

Utau merely did a sort of had wave telling him she heard him as she continued to walk home.

Xxx

The blonde girl's eyebrows shot up in surprise as she found the door unlocked. Her father had left it unlocked? Well that was certainly odd, nevertheless the walked in only to notice her father's shoes weren't in the shoe cupboard. This could only mean one thing.

.

.

.

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"

Utau's yell could of probably been heard from half across the planet as realisation hit her. She had stupidly left the front door unlocked and that she could of came in all along!

Utau had never been so ashamed and embarrassed in her life. But she thanked the lords that nobody had witnessed her in that state.

Utau sighed heavily as she shut the door and took her shoes of before walking up the stairs to take a nap. She was too exhausted to deal with anything right now as she closed her eyes and dragged her feet into her room, not bothering to change she lied down onto her bed, face downward onto the pillow.

"Oi, You know it's rude to do that when you have a guest over Utau."

Utau's head shot up as she stared at the source of the voice. "YOU!" she screamed pointing at him accusingly.

"Me? Now what did I do wrong?" The cocky idiot smirked as Utau continued to glare at him.

"WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AT SOME STUPID MEETING! AND WHY ARE YOU SITTING IN MY BED! HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND OUT WHERE MY HOUSE WAS! ARE YOU SOME SORT OF STALKER!? AND WHY ARE EVEN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

Utau continued to scream at him before calming down and then her face collided with her pillow.

"Whatever. I don't care anymore, I'm tired and I want to sleep so would you please be on your way and leave."

She could imagine him pout "Utau! It's rude to ignore guests! And I came all the way here to see you too!"

"You didn't answer any of my questions." Utau replied, her voice slightly muffled by the pillow.

He just shrugged. "Can't I visit my friend's house when I want to?"

Utau sat up and sighed. "Just when did I agree to that?"

He shrugged but grinned "Dunno'"

Utau rolled her eyes. "Typical."

The auburn head just grinned in return.

Xxx

For the past hour they had been talking and watching TV in Utau's room, doing typical friend things. Which was odd since Utau had just known him for about 2 days.

Utau's eyes widened as she heard the front door click open. "Utau! I'm home!"

"Fuck." Utau mumbled under her breath and began cussing before quickly getting up and turning the TV off.

"Wha-" Utau instantly clamped her hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear. " . ." Hey voice sounded deathly as she shoved him into her closet then flashing him a quick apologetic look and slamming the door shut, she immediately ran down the stairs to greet her father.

"Welcome home Otou-san!" (A/N: That means father in Japanese for those who didn't know.)

Her Father nodded in approval as he took his shoes off. His eyes were cold as he looked blank and walked into the living room.

"I see you've kept the house in shape during my absence."

Utau nodded as she walking into the living room with Utau following keeping her distance.

"Have you seen or talked to Ikuto while I was gone?" the harshness in his voice sent shivers down her spine but she stood her ground.

"...No father." Utau attempted to make her voice show no hint of emotion.

Her father turned around and raised his hand.

Slap

Utau stared up towards her father wide eyed as her hand slowly went up towards her now swelling cheek.

"Don't lie to me Utau."

Utau swallowed hard as she looked emotionless.

"I've heard about your absences in school Utau, your teacher's have called me about it. Though I'm surprised your Principle didn't."

Utau cursed on the inside. Those damned loud mouth teachers!

Her father glared down at her, cold eyes showing no mercy as he once again slapped her, continuously hitting her, one hit after another.

Again.

And Again.

And again.

Utau stared blankly numb on the floor, her father had already left the house while she was left lying there.

She groaned before sitting up and wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she winced as she clutched her side and got up. She honestly would of preferred to stay lying down on the ground but she knew that the kid would get suspicious as she winced while slowly making her way up the stairs.

She let out a breath before opening her room door and walking towards her closet, opening the door to reveal ramen boy. She noticed his eyes widen at the sight of her.

Utau raised an eyebrow at him, bewildered on why he was staring at her like she had been hit by a truck.

She then realised as she looked down towards her clothes that her once so white and pure polo shirt had blood stains on them. She then remembered the slap across her face. She cussed. She probably had a bruise forming onto there by now.

"U-Utau what happened!"

Utau cussed. How could she of been so careless? She should of cleaned herself up before speaking to him and scaring him half to death!

"...N-Nothing happened to me." Utau could of face palmed at her lie, how pathetic was it?

"Utau. I'm serious" she blinked as she looked up at him, getting lost in his eyes.

They were so...unique. They showed his mood so well, however his once so energetic green eyes looked drained. Why? They were usually so playful and fun. But now they looked so serious, so...worried? angry? It didn't suit him. She always felt uncomfortable when his mood when change into this. But at the same time she couldn't help but feel happy, she felt what she had not felt in a long time. Like she...Mattered.

After her long period of silence he sighed before grabbing her hand and walking towards the bathroom and sitting her down onto a chair he had dragged in. "Where do you keep your first aid kit?"

She pointed towards a cupboard and her amethyst eyes watched as he opened it pulling out what he had been looking for out.

Quickly pulling out the disinfectant he started spraying it on her wounds as she held back a hiss. He pulled out a plaster and looked like he was in full concentration with his tongue slightly sticking out of his mouth from the side looking focused to put it onto her finger perfectly.

The expression he was making made her let out a small smile as she sighed and looked up towards the ceiling. How had it come to this?

Xxx

Utau sighed as she looked in the mirror. All bandaged up, she usually used make up to cover them all but this would do for now.

She had sent home the grinning idiot just a while before she examined herself in the mirror. Yawning she grabbed a hairbrush and decided to brush the knots out of her hair. She raised an eyebrow when she heard something come from Ikuto's room, putting her hair brush down she decided to investigate as she got up and quietly tiptoed towards her older brother's room. She opened the door slightly n looked through the crack only to find her 'missing' older brother. "I-Ikuto?" she whispered, quietly cursing for stuttering.

Hey amethyst eyes widened for a moment as continue to watch (stalk) the boy with midnight blue hair. She raised an eyebrow as she watched him open the window and climb out. This was her chance! She could finally find out where he had been running of too! And where he was staying! She wasted no time on rushing down the stairs, (whilst grabbing a coat of course.) she quickly put on her cream coloured ugg-boots and rushed outside putting her coat on she looked around the neibourhood and smirked when she found her prey.

She quickly continued to follow him, but sweat dropped and began to question her brother's sanity as she saw him leap from branch to roof and to roof to another roof. Finally after what seemed like a century worth of following she raised an eyebrow and watched him climb onto a balcony, she blinked. What was he doing? Playing Romeo? Her eye's shot up as she saw some pink haired girl appear. Wait, she knew that pink haired kid. She was one of the guardians! Utau glared as she watched the pink haired girl turn an oddly shade of red as her brother whispered something in her ear.

Then it hit her. Was this where Ikuto had been spending his time? He had ditched Utau for some girl? Utau bit her lower lip. What was this feeling? She felt oddly...betrayed. Why? Because Her only sibling left her? She frowned, some creases forming on her forehead as she began to rub her temples. She turned her head and noticed that the small pink haired girl was inviting Ikuto in and he...smiled? wait what? Utau hadn't seen Ikuto smile in years! So why was he suddenly warming up to that pink haired kid?

Wait. Did she seem like some kind of stalker? She was currently hiding next to some bushes peeping her head out. Oh god what if someone saw her? Nevertheless she sighed as she got up and brushed the ends of her skirt. She was getting off subject, but...now that she thought about it. She really didn't have anyone left to hang onto. Ikuto was gone, Her mother wasn't going to be any help. Her father was the main cause of her problems. She had no one left to hold on too, but...what was that Souma kid to her? He talked to her and much to Utau's dismay she enjoyed his company, although she would never admit it, however she had only met him around two days ago, she couldn't fully trust him just yet. Utau still had to keep her guard up!

Utau shook her head, She seriously was getting of subject. Sighing Utau shoved her cold hands into her jacket pockets and walked away from the house, head dropped. Well, at least now she knew where her older brother went of to, though it wasn't like it was going to be much help. He didn't care before so why should he care now? Even if Utau always welcomed him home with open arms, making him food, washing his shirt ect, though it was only when her father wasn't around of course. He would never show up when he was home.

Utau sighed as she began walking down the streets. She didn't feel like going home so she ended up walking towards her aunt Sanjo-san's house. At least she was always welcomed there, Her aunt would always be so sweet to her, even if Utau would be in a bad mood. Utau smiled and continued to walk down the streets, passing various stores; they were all Christmas themed. Utau smiled as she stopped in front of a charity store, surprised it was still opened at this hour, her violet eyes gazed at a toy train moving around, a soft cream coloured teddy bear with a cute red ribbon around it's neck and various other things for children.

Utau's eyes then met an old man sitting down with a charity box, feeling generous Utau walked over and put in 500 yen in, the old man looked up to her with gratefully eyes and smiled at her brightly, not wanting to seem rude Utau smiled back then continued walking.

Utau yawned and slumped her shoulders, her tiredness was getting to her as she made it to her aunt's. Utau let out a heavy sigh as she knocked on the door, after a while she began to hear footsteps, sighing in relief Utau continued to wait outside.

"U-Utau? I wasn't expecting you to be coming over!" Utau looked up to see a middle-aged 'young' woman standing in front of her with a shocked expression, the blonde had to admit, the way she looked was priceless.

Sighing Utau nodded "Yeah, I'm sorry for the last minute thing Sanjo-san but I just really needed to stay here."

Her aunt let out a heavy sigh before nodding understandingly and allowing the stubborn child to enter.

"Oh and just so you know, Yuu's here."

Utau resisted the urge to roll her eyes at that statement. Yuu was one of her teacher's in school AND to make things worse, her aunt's boyfriend. Utau shuddered and nodded before going up the stairs.

"Utau would you like anything to eat?" Utau heard Sanjo-san yell from down the stairs. Sighing Utau shook her head even though she couldn't see her.

"No thanks!"

Wasting no more time Utau walked down the corridor and towards the guest room- or her back up room. No one ever really stayed in that room and it was filled up with mostly Utau's belongings since she stayed there so often, she even had her own closet filled with her clothes.

Utau smiled as she lied down on the bed, the sheet's smelt so clean and fresh. She turned her head to look at the clock which read 11:25pm Utau sighed before getting up and walking towards her closet, pulling out a pair of cleaned pyjamas she wasted no time in changing into them. Utau examined herself in the mirror and let out a small giggle. She honestly looked ridiculous and it wasn't really her style. In all honestly she didn't even pick the thing out! Sanjo-san did. Utau laughed and turned around to fully examine herself. They were a pair of cream coloured pyjamas with little llamas repeated all over them.

Utau sighed and let her hair down then soon after walked over near to the bathroom (which was conveniently located in the guest room.) and put on her bunny slippers. She really did look ridiculous. Utau rolled her eyes and walked into the bathroom and began to brush her teeth. Today had been a really long day and had exhausted the poor girl out.

Once done with her brushing she washed her face, then trudged back into her room and lied down onto the bed yawning she turned off the lamp and hid under the sheets, then snapped open her eyes. Oh God all her school stuff was left at home! Meaning she had to wake up even more early to run home, grab her stuff then run all the way to school. Utau groaned in frustration and slammed her face onto the pillow. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Xxx

Oh God. Just how did this happen? Just what did she do to deserve this? Utau stared at her bed, did some chicken sneak into her room overnight and lay eggs then made a break for it? Oh no. These eggs were just bi to big be chicken eggs, besides where they painted? They had patterns on them. Oh God she was hallucinating! Utau was squashed in the corner of the room staring wide eyed at the two eggs. Grabbing the nearest thing to her, which conveniently happened to be a stick she began poking them both. Before shaking her head and picking one up and almost dropping it in realization.

The egg was warm.

Why was it warm?! Was she going to become a mother?! No, no this wasn't right! She had already saw a video on babies in health class a couple years back! So...just what was this thing? Utau continued to stare until her eyes widened even more than they already were in more realization! She was so focused on the eggs that she wasn't paying any attention to the time! She had to get too school! Utau groaned and gently put the two egg's into her blazer pockets and ran towards the bathroom, then after finishing her business she ran downstairs and shoved a piece of toast into her mouth.

"Bye Sanjo-san!" Utau managed to say before running all the way back to her house. Oh God she probably looked like some mad woman, rushing past people at this hour! Utau blinked and stopped running. What was she doing? She was use to skipping classes and such and she was getting worked up about being late to class. Oh God she was losing it. Shaking her head she 'calmly' began to walk back to her house.

Xxx

Well that went well. Utau cussed her whole way walking towards her school. She was 2 HOURs late. Some stupid drunk driver drove straight into a another car which made some other cat bash into the car in front and it created this huge traffic jam incident in the middle of the street! And her bus stop was closed because of it so she had to WALK to school. Utau kicked a stone as she walked, then blinked and checked her pockets, a rush of relief overcame her as she saw the two eggs were still in her pocket.

Utau sighed in relief as she saw the school gates. She scowled an continued to walk into the building. Oh wait. What class was she suppose to be in? She groaned and nearly fell down onto her butt when the bell rang. She assumed it was lunch as she saw everyone carrying around bento's. Utau sighed and walked up the stairs then stopped in the middle. She forgot her lunch. Her lunch! Utau was so tempted to slam her head onto the wall! How stupid could she be! Ugh. She didn't want to eat any of that cafeteria food either. Sighing Utau continued to go up the stairs towards the roof, least up there she was alone.

Utau breathed in the fresh air then walked over towards the edge and stared at the view. Her eyes scanned the area, she could see most of the school's campus from this angle. She was staring at the back of the school and stared into space.

So, what was she going to do now? She felt so lost. Like-

"Boo." A pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist from behind having her back meet a chest. She felt someone's head rest onto her shoulder and she could already feel their hot breath tingling on her ear.

"Souma." Utau spoke through gritted teeth. How dare he interrupt her during her train of thoughts! She was going to give him a good scolding for doing that later.

"Hmm?" He spoke, nuzzling his face into her neck.

"Just what the fuck do you think your doing?"

"I don't know' you tell me."

She could already see the smug look on his face. Rolling her eyes she shoved him off her and scowled at him.

"Kukai! I was busy thinking about something important! Don't you know it's rude to just pop out of oblivion and...do what you were just doing."

"You mean this?" He began walking closer which made Utau step back, she then pushed him away with such force that she lost balance and starting falling backwards.

"UTAU!"

Utau's eyes widened and her heart beat increased and she ended up having her wrist grabbed onto pulling her into his chest with the same amount of force making them both fall onto the ground.

Utau stayed silent, eyes still wide as saucers, this was a very odd position. Here she was underneath him with his hands by the sides of her head supporting him. He continued to stare into her violet pools as she did the same staring into his neon green eyes, both still panting.
