The Melody of Life
Chapter 1: How Life Continues
By: Star Blaze
I later learned the reason why we moved to America, mom was offered a well paid job, and she needed that at the time. I'm glad she took the job though, because now we're considered "rich", which I'd have to agree with because we have everything I could possibily want. For example, we have a mansion, cars, a huge pool, and big screen TVs. We have loud stereo systems too. One's in my room, another mother's room, and the other two are outside and in the training room. We could have maids and butlers if we wanted. I mean it wasn't because we couldn't afford to, but mom didn't and doesn't want anyone. Reason being she didn't want anyone to know about me being half demon. Well enough of the past, now on to the future!
10 years later….
Mom and me live in San Antonio, Texas, quite hot this time of year (summer). I'm 17 years old high school student attending Jefferson High. I have talent, beauty, and money (Yeah, I'm perfect!...okay not really but I can dream). Plus, I was the most popular girl in school…at least that's what people tell me. I really didn't think so though. I soon learned that I was, and the people that I hung out with would also be too. My friends Cloud, Tifa, Cory, Cynthia, and Sora. Us six are the most known people through out our entire school.(yay!...yeah I wish...not really too much DRAMA!) Althoughwe're all so popular, we mostly hung out with each other. We are also known as pairs, because we go out with each other. Cory goes out with Tifa, Sora goes out with Cynthia, and Cloud goes out with me. We are all best friends really and sort of family. I mean we do everything together. Although they're that close to me they still don't know that I'm actually only half human, but besides that they like me for me and I'm glad for it. One thing we all do is fight, we help each other practice all the time. Just something I did and they decided to pick up after me.
In my human form, I have honey brown eyes, golden-brown hair flowing to waist, a strong athletic body, and 5'7 in height. In my actual appearence, I look the same except there are some slight differences. For example, I have bright sky blue eyes, silver hair, a small pair of white dog-ears, claws, and sort of dog like teeth. I also have three small blue flower pedals centered at one point on my forehead. It's a family crest; it visible when I'm in my true appearence. My father had a cloth custom made for Zero and me. It has our names on it one above the other originally, but we cut it through the middle. Zero has her name and I have mine, I know I wear mine all the time but I don't know if Zero wears hers.
The night before the last day of school my room….
'Zero how are you? How is mother and father? Do you all miss me? Have you given up finding me? So many questions unanswered… I wish I could see you all again... Wait I have an idea! I could go visit Kagome have some fun and then try to go back home…but....I don't want to leave Cloud, Tifa, Cynthia, Cory, and Sora. Maybe…They can come with me. They just have to ask their parents permission and get the plane tickets. I want them to met Kagome, Sota, Kim, and maybe even my real family. I need someone to talk to... Cloud! Now where's that phone? …HA! Here it is! Dial the number and let it ring…'
"Hello?"
'It's Cloud just he person I wanted to talk to.' "Cloud…?" I whispered.
"Yeah? Star…what's wrong?" he asked worriedily.
"I want to talk to you…. in person. Can you come over? Please?"
"I'll be there in a few. Alright?"
"Okay.... Thank you. See you then. Love you. Bye."
"Love you too. Bye." We both hung up after that.
'Cloud has opened up so much since we first met. He used to be as hard as a rock but I worked with him as a friend at first than later on as a girlfriend. Cory is a great guy and was a great boyfriend. In the 8th grade until the middle of our freshmen year in high school when we met Cloud and Tifa. Cory and I were assigned to help them adjust to our school. They introduced themselves as brother and sister, but we later found out that Tifa was actually adopted when she was a baby. I'll just tell you how we met…'
A/N: Cynthia, Sora, Cloud, and Tifa will be described when we see them. I'll just describe Cory now. Chocolate brown eyes, short jet-black hair, and strong built and athletic body. He typically wore loose yet tight black t-shirts, baggy dark blue jeans with a black belt, and clean white shoes with two black stripes on the side of each shoe. As I typically wore tight pants, black t-shirts, and black shoes.
~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~
Cory and me had just gotten to school when the speakers around school announced, "Miss Blaze! Mr. Pinkly! Come to the main office!"
"What did we do?" we yelled quite confused.
"What did you two do this time?" two voices yelled behind us from not too far.
Cory and I turn around to see it was Cynthia and Sora.
Cynthia has hazel eyes, shoulder length reddish hair, strong athletic body, and 5'6 height. She typically wore just about everything pink she even had pink lipstick and eye shadow.(that's TOO much pink for me) Her hooded jacket was pink tight fitting and zipped up midway showing the pink shirt with princess in blue cursive print across the front. Her skirt that was that was also pink, and even her shoes are clean white with two pink stripes on each shoe. (*dies of too much pink*) Sora has blue eyes, short wild chestnut brown hair, strong athletic body, and 5'9 height. He typically wore a loose red t-shirt with a black vest, baggy dark blue jeans down to his knees, and black shoes.
A/N: Sora looks like Sion off Bouncer a PS2 game.
"Oh! Hey Cynthia! Hey Sora!" I yelled cheerfully waving to them with a smile.
"We haven't done anything…lately." Cory said looking down for a moment and then up at us. We stared at him as if he were crazy.
"What?" he asked disliking the stare, we were giving him.
"Nothing Cory." We replied in union surprising him walking away from him.
"If it's about that last stunt we pulled then…" Sora said turning to Cynthia with pleading eyes.
"We're not coming." Cynthia said finishing Sora's sentence.
"Well first of all Mr. Bell didn't say your names but…" I said turning to Cory hoping for him to catch my drift.
"You never know. We could have done something worth being awarded that we didn't know we did, and you two may have helped us do it. We'll probably get some sort of warded and you guys won't get it because you didn't come along." Cory said catching on and finishing my sentence.
"We're still not going." Sora said not effected by what we had said.
"Fine we'll just go then." I said a little aggravated and walking towards the main office. Cory caught me not far from the main office but continued to walk. "Star…? Did they make you mad?" he asked stopping me and pulling me in a warm strong embrace.
"Not really…" I said hugging him back.
He knew that I was lying so kissed me with passion. I was shocked for a moment but then I returned the kiss passionately realizing the reason. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist deepening the kiss even more. Then the speakers around school announced again. "Miss Blaze! Mr. Pinkly! Come to the main office!" "Cory, we have to go. Come on." I said sadly braking our kiss.
"Aaawww! It was just getting good!" he complained.
"Come on lover boy." I said playfully starting to drag by the collar of his shirt to the main office.
"Star, can you stop dragging me now?" Cory said playfully.
"Okay." I said anciently dropping him. "Oh! Gomen Cory. Are you okay? I didn't mean to do that." I said helping him up.
"I'm fine… Huh? What does that mean? Gg-oo-mm-ee-nn." Cory said standing up.
"Oh! Gomen it means sorry in Japanese. Sorry for dropping you." I said realizing what I had said.
"It's okay babe." He said sweetly intertwining his fingers with mine.
"Miss Blaze! Mr. Pinkly! Where have you two been?" Mr. Bell yelled from behind us.
"Mr. Bell! We..." Cory said turning around to see Mr. Bell and standing behind me still holding my hand.
"We just got here Mr. Bell." I said calmly looking straight at Mr. Bell. "Our bus was late." Cory gave me a slight squeeze to my hand as a thank you. I gave a slight squeeze back as a your welcome.
"Okay. Well I'm guessing you two are wondering why I have called you here today. Am I right?" Mr. Bell questioned standing by the entrance of the main office. Cory and me turned to each other nodded turning back to Mr. Bell.
"I called you two here because I got task for you two."
'Well at least were not in trouble.' "What is it Mr. Bell?" I asked curious yet relieved.
"Well Miss Blaze I've assigned you and Mr. Pinkly the day off school to show the two new students around campus. Come let me introduce you to them. Follow me." Mr. Bell said walking into the main office.
Cory and me looked at each other. "Well at least we're not in trouble right Cory?"
"Yeah and we have the day off." Cory said smiling and pulling me by the hand to follow. As soon as we entered, the main office Mr. Bell introduced us. "Blaze. Pinkly. This is Cloud Strife." Mr. Bell said pointing to the guy with pale blue eyes, short blond wild hair, strong athletic yet built body, and 6ft height. He wore dark blue shirt with a white long sleeved shirt under it, dark blue baggy jeans, and black shoes with two dark blue stripes on the sides of both shoes. "And this is his sister Tifa Strife." He said pointing to the girl beside Cloud. She had crimson red eyes, knee length light brown hair, strong athletic body, and 5'8 height. She wore black turtleneck sweater, dark blue jean skirt with a brown belt, and black shoes.
"Okay now that I have you introduced. Blaze I want you and Pinkly to show them their lockers first and then their classes. You have lunch at the same time as usual. I gave them the information needed for their lockers and their classes. Show them around the campus alright Blaze?" Mr. Bell said pausing.
"Yes sir." I replied.
Mr. Bell began to walk to his office when he turned back and shot a cold glare at Cory and me, "You two better not do anything today." He warned.
"We would dream of it sir." I replied nodding.
I saw him nod back the continued to walk to his office heard when him slam the door shut. I turned to my attention back to my assignment by greeted them to our school, "Welcome to Jefferson High! Okay before we start our tour my name is Star Blaze and this is my boyfriend Cory Pinkly." I said cheerfully pointing to Cory.
"Hey. Welcome to Jefferson High." Cory said smiling, putting his arm around my shoulders.
Cloud and Tifa frowned when I smiled at Cory. I turned away from Cory, walked up to Cloud and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like this school?"
"Oh! No, nothing's wrong and I'm glad to be at this school." He replied looking up smiling and looking dreamily at me with a blush.
"Good. Cory who's locker do you think we should show them first?" I smiled turning to Cory.
"I have some business to do so I'll catch up to you later." Cory said walking out the main office door.
"Cory! Mr. Bell said we SHOULDN'T do anything! Besides, it was no biggie. Really and we have Cloud and Tifa with us now. We don't want to have a bad impression, do we?" I said knowing exactly what he was thinking about and walked after him.
"Star, I know what he said." Cory said turning around and caressing my face. "But you didn't deserve what they did to you earlier even if they are our friends. You still didn't deserve that. Yes we have them with us and we don't want to get them in trouble on their first day so…" Cory said walking away. "I'll leave it to you to show them around while I take care of things!" Cory said now running off towards his first period.
"Cory! Come back here!" I yelled after him. 'Cory your really not going to like me when you see me later today. I can't leave them alone… Forget it. I'll just get Cory later.' "Your such a baka Cory." I whispered under my breath disappointed.
"Uhh… What was that about Star? And what did you say?" Cloud asked confused.
"Oh! I said baka. It's Japanese. It means idiot. Don't worry about Cory. You'll see what he's talking about later today. I'm sure of it." I said seriously staring in the direction Cory ran off in.
"Okay… that's scary." Cloud said taking a small step back.
"What was scary?" I asked cheerfully with a smile.
"You… turning cheerful to serious to cheerful." Cloud said taking another step back.
"If you want to be friends with me or anyone else in this school. You will get used to it. With the things that happen in this school… you and Tifa should get used to it. Cory does the same thing and so do all of our friends. Okay?" I said cheerful yet serious.
"Alright. If that's the way things are at this school. I'll get used to it. How about you Tifa? Will you get used to it?" Cloud asked his quiet sister.
"Huh? Yeah I'll get used to it Cloud." Tifa said with a smile.
"What grades are you and Cloud in?" I asked walking out in front of her out of the main office.
Tifa smiled following and answered, "Cloud is in the 10th grade and I'm in the 9th grade. What grades are you and Cory in?"
"Cory and me are in the 9th grade too!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"That's great!"
"Yes it is. Well let's start the tour." I said with a smile. "Do mind if I see your papers?"
"Sure. Here you go. Here's our classes and our locker numbers." Cloud said handing the papers to me.
Lunch Time…
"Cynthia! Sora! Over here!" I yelled waving my hand in the air.
They turned their heads and walked towards Cloud, Tifa, and me sitting at a table outside.
"Hey Star! Where you've been? I missed you!" Cynthia yelled smiling and running up to me giving me a hug with Sora walking not far behind her.
"Hey Star!" Sora said with a wave.
"Well I was assigned to show the transfer students around campus…Cynthia your all wet! What happened? …Never mind Cory right?" I asked still a bit mad at him for earlier today.
"Yeah, it was Cory."
"Did he get you too Sora?"
"Yeah… I'll get him back twice fold!"
"What did he do? …Wait hold that thought. Let me introduce you two to the transfer students. Sora, Cynthia this Cloud Strife and his sister Tifa Strife. Cloud, Tifa these are my friends Cynthia, and Sora."
"Hi." Cloud and Tifa greeted.
"Hey." Cynthia and Sora greeted.
"Now what did Cory do to you two Cynthia?" I asked now furious at him.
"He put a bucket of water on the door to the science room knowing Sora and me are always the first ones there." She said a bit aggravated.
"Do you two know why he did it right?"
"No." Cynthia and Sora replied clueless.
"What happened this morning?" I asked giving them a hint.
"Oh! Just because of that?" Sora asked remembering the incident earlier that morning.
"Sora you know how he is with me. Its not like it's anything new."
"Yeah I know and remember." Cynthia replied rolling her eyes remembering the previous pranks.
"Well guess what? I see Cory." I said walking towards him.
"Hey Star! There you are! Where you've been? I've been looking for you." Cory said walking towards me.
SLAP! "Cory why did you that? You KNOW that you, Cynthia, and Sora are like family to me and I don't like seeing you all fighting or pulling pranks on each other." I yelled very pissed off.
"Star baby please don't be mad." Cory said bring me into a strong embrace.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself, "Cory promise me you'll never do that again."
"Okay Star I promise. I will never do anything to Cynthia and Sora again. Okay?" Cory said.
"Or Tifa and Cloud?" I asked looking up to him with a smile.
"I won't do anything to them either." He promised caressing my cheek.
"Good!" I said kissing his cheek and grabbing his hand walking back to the others.
End of Flashback
A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Huh? Yeah it's open." I said lifting my head.
"Star?" Cloud asked opening the door walking in.
"Cloud! That was quick." I said getting up off my bed.
A/ N: Sorry Kitty had to do this to ya and sorry it's a bit worse than what I did with Cory. Not too bad but bad. Please don't hurt me! …Oh! Kitty is someone we met later on in the story. Just to let you know. As I promised, I'll give you a copy of the page you want. Also this next page my not be suited for young children, like Zero.
"Hey I heard that!"
"Zero where'd you come from?"
"I have no idea! But anyways!"
"Just shut up. I know you won't like this next page. Or the page with Cory you already read. Okay now on with the story!"
"Why didn't you answer the door?" Cloud asked worriedly.
"I was remembering the day we met was all."
"Is that what you were doing?"
"Yeah that was I was doing."
"Ok. I remember that day very well though. You were so beautiful. I was mad when you said Cory was your boyfriend. But I don't care anymore because now you're mine."
"I knew you liked me when we met but I liked Cory then."
"I wish you didn't then but that doesn't matter anymore."
"Anyways…" I said with a smile as I slowly walking up to him.
He stood still as he stared at me with a smirk on his face. I was wore a white tank top and a pair of blue shorts.
"Star?" he asked still staring at me with a smirk.
"Yes?" I replied with a smirk wanting to know his reaction.
He walked up to slowly up to me as well picking me up by my waist with his strong arms and held me like baby. All I could do was giggle and wrap my arms around his neck. He stared deeply into my eyes as he walked over to my bed sat down on the edge of it and sat me on his lap. Before I could say a word he leaned down and kissed me passionately. I was shocked for a moment but returned the kiss passionately. As he deepened the kiss, he licked my lower lip asking permission to enter my mouth I opened my mouth slightly allowing him to enter. He took the moment and slid his tongue into my mouth beginning a war with my tongue.
'I can't get myself to into this. I still need to talk to him.' I thought pulling my tongue out of his mouth and finishing the kiss. "I really meant it when I said needed to talk to you." I sighed leaning on his chest.
"Okay." He said hugging me.
I pulled back and stood up. "I'm going to Japan to visit my cousin Kagome for the summer."
"YOUR WHAT?" He yelled standing up staring me with wide eyes.
"I want you to come with me Cloud." I said wrapping my arms around him trying to calm him. He was shocked for a moment then returned the hug. "If I'm with you than I'll go anywhere."
I smiled and kissed him. "I'm glad to hear that. I want the gang to come too. If that okay with you?"
"It's fine by me."
"Good! We'll ask them tomorrow then. Let's have some fun tonight!"
"Alright let's go."
"Alright!"
Next Day at Lunch….
Cloud and me were done eating and I was on his lap flirting with him. Cory and Tifa were done too and Tifa was on Cory's lap making out with him not too far from us. We were all waiting for Cynthia and Sora to finish lunch. I had stop flirting with Cloud hearing Cynthia yelling, "Come on Sora! We're gonna be late!"
I turned to Tifa and she had stopped kissing Cory, and we all looked in Cynthia and Sora's direction and watched.
"I'm done!" Sora yelled in triumph.
"Good! Now let's go!" Cynthia yelled grabbing his hand.
Cynthia continued to pulls Sora and argue at the same time walking in our direction, but by the time they got to us they had kissed and made up.
"Fighting again?" Tifa asked.
"To hard of a word for those two. More like arguing." I said sort of defending them.
"Your right as usual Star." Tifa sighed.
"So now that everyone's here… what do you want to ask us Star?" Cory asked turning to me.
"Uh…Hold on. Cynthia, Sora why don't you sit down?" I asked.
"We're fine standing." They both replied.
"Ok but don't say I don't warn you." I sighed took a deep breath and continued. "I wanted to tell you that Cloud and me are going to Japan for the summer."
"YOU AND CLOUD ARE WHAT?" they yelled surprised.
"Going to Japan." Cloud said smirking.
"And…" I said.
"AND WHAT?" they yelled angrily.
"She wants you all to come with us." Cloud said still smirking.
"Really?" they asked calmly.
"Yes really." I replied.
"YEAH WE WANT TO GO!" they yelled.
"I'll get the tickets. Ask your parents, call me today so I can get the tickets today and see who's coming. Pack if they say yes cause I'm getting the next flight to Japan."
"I thought you had the tickets already." Cloud said looking at me.
"I had to see who was coming first Cloud." I replied looking at him.
"Okay, Star I won't argue with you." Cloud said giving up.
"Star why are we going to Japan anyways?" Tifa asked.
"I was wondering if you would ask." I sighed looking down.
"We're going to visit Kagome, Star's cousin." Cloud said.
"I miss them so much Cloud. I haven't seen Kagome in 7 years! I have to visit." I said happy that I was finally going to Japan again.
"We'll its settled then. We all are going to ask and get our answers to Star as soon as possible. Clear?"
"Crystal!" everyone said.
"Okay sorry guys, but I gotta go. You got the instructions so I'm out of here. I got to get the tickets anyway." I said waving to everyone and leaving.
"Awww! But I wanted to get a kiss." Cloud complained following me.
"Let's save that for an other time. But you can walk me to my car though." I said wrapping my arm around his waist.
"I'll do that." He replied putting his arm over my shoulders.
We were close to the parking lot.
"Star where are we going to stay?"
"Kagome's house. They have two extra rooms. One room for the girls and other room for the boys. That is how it will be set up."
"What city are we going to be in?"
"Tokyo."
"Really? I've heard about that city but I thought we would be going to a small town that I never heard of."
"No. We're going to Tokyo. Don't tell the others I want to surprise them."
"Okay I won't tell them… What's it like there?"
"Well it has been 7 years since I've been in Tokyo so it may have changed a little."
"Okay, but what was it like?"
"Well it's a lot like San Antonio. I'll tell you that."
"Really?"
"Yes really."
"That's so cool."
"Well if you have any more to ask. Call me or ask me on he trip. Okay?" I said walking away from him opening my car.
"Okay I will. Love you! Bye!"
"Love you too Cloud! Bye!" I said starting the engine and left.
I looked at the car side mirror and watched Cloud.
'Well I still have to ask mom and ask Kagome but I know they will say yes. I need to pack after I ask okaa-sama and call Kagome. Well I'm going to have to ask soon I'm almost home. Well I shouldn't be worried it will all work out some how.'
A/N: YES! SUCCESS! I typed ten pages! I will bring all the anime charters I want into this world. Like Inuyasha, Cloud, Sora, Koga, Sesshomaru, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Kirara, Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and other cool charters and to kill there are Kagome, Kikyo, Naraku, and Aerith. I will bring all the charters I want into this world! Maybe in my dreams anyways. I don't own Cloud, Sora, Sota, Kagome's mom and Kagome. The rest I own. I'm going on vacation. However, I'll be back with a new chapter soon. Bye all!
