Yuki- I'm so glad that you guys liked this story. It made me smile to see 20 reviews after one day. Then the number grew and grew. Now I have almost 40 reviews! That's a lot for the first chapter, yo.
Anyway, if you don't read Pen Pals, then you didn't read the little authors note at the end of the latest chapter, saying to disregard the Japanese music for the rest of the story. I'm using regular ENGRISH music from now, on.
Enjoy Bitches!
I don't own Shugo Chara! in any way.
I also don't know any songs used in these chapters.
The only thing I own is the story and the name of the band.

Recap:
"You're thinking of something." Amu nodded. Kukai felt chills down his spine as Amu said these next four words.
"We're going to school."
~*Moon Dexterity*~
"What?"
"You heard me. I want to go to school."
"But Hinamori-sa-"
"Nikaidou. I. Want. To. Go. To. School."
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's impossible."
"Tell me why."
"Because you're a singing sensation, coming up in a new movie. You'll be harassed, and have all your fans breathe down your neck. Is that how you want to be treated?"
Amu sank back in her chair. She never thought about that possibility. Her chances of being harassed by her fans are way to high. Everywhere she turns there's someone breathing down her neck, asking for an autograph. She wasn't thinking through. She needed a new plan.
Suddenly, she stood up, startling Yuu. "Fine. I'll leave you back to your work manager." she growled, as she walked swiftly out of his office. But she didn't forget to slam the door on her way out.
• † • † •
"What did he say?" Nagihiko asked as he saw Amu plummet to the couch. She growled before responding. "He said it was impossible." Kukai shook his head.
"Of course. Do you have any idea how troublesome it would be to go to a normal school?" he asked as he ruffled her pink hair. Amu tried to resist rolling her eyes, but failed miserably. "I don't care. I just want to breathe... Even if it's only for a little while." she mumbled.
"But you only have four months until you leave the country to do the movie." Nagihiko reasoned. Amu grumbled. "I don't care. When I leave, I won't be back for an entire year. Maybe even more." She sighed as she buried her face in the couch cushion. There was really no way to be able to be normal, even for a little while.
• † • † •
"Ikuto! Come on, we have to go to school!" a lively blond with amethyst eyes exclaimed, as she pounded on her brothers door, earning a growl in return. Ikuto groggily sat up on his bed.
"I'm up, Utau. Now please. Leave me alone right now." he replied. Utau huffed as she went to go eat downstairs. Ikuto rubbed his eyes, and ruffled his hair, and lazily got out of bed. School really wasn't going to help him with his day. Not after the night he had a couple of days ago.
Amu could only smile at him. "It's okay," she said before looking around for her bodyguards. "Can you tell me your name?"
He looked at her questionably, but answered anyway. "Ikuto." he replied. Amu smiled before she moved a little closer to him. "Well it was nice meeting you," she started before going on her tip toes, and moved her lips towards his. Ikuto's eyes widened as her lips collided with his. Her lips felt so soft, and she felt just right in his arms. But once he was fully into the kiss, she pulled away. "Ikuto."
With that, she turned on her heel, and ran into the night. Ikuto stretched his hand out, as he saw her small figure disappear.
What a mysterious girl...
He couldn't get her out of his head. What is with him? It's not like he hasn't kissed a hot girl before. But... This girl wasn't hot. She was more. Her golden eyes glistened with the night sky, and the glistening water, making them more radiant. No. She wasn't hot at all. She was a stunning beauty. Even if he couldn't see her full hair, because of the gray hoodie, he still thought of her as the most beautiful girl he's ever imagined of meeting.
Ikuto smacked himself mentally. He's been thinking about this ever since it happened. Even if it was only a couple days ago, it felt like an eternity from seeing her. He sluggishly got up from his bed and made his way to his private bathroom. But his room was more like a vela. The huge blue silk bed. The shag white carpet, the marble wall, yes being filthy rich was something.
His, and Utau's father was a famous business magnate. He owns many, many businesses including the school Ikuto and Utau attended, and Tokyo Stadium. Seiyo Academy is the first establishment he ever started. And he plans on sticking to it.
Once Ikuto made it to the bathroom, he spotted something on the calendar. His eyes widened as he ripped it from the wall and clutched it in his hands. A waterfall of anger washed over him as he yelled,
"Utau, it's Saturday!"
• † • † •
Amu sighed as she looked out her glass wall window. There was nothing that she could think of to get her to a normal school. She tried everything. Begging, and pleading, which she's never done before. Sneaking in, which she soon regretted.
So she escaped to her room, and brought out her guitar. Her even thinking about going to a normal school brought back memories of her father. The good times, and bad. When her mother left her, she took her sister with her. That's when she realized that love didn't exist. Love was a word that had no meaning to her. It didn't help when her ex boyfriend dumped her either. She thought that she finally found someone to love, and accept her. Then he just stomped on her heart.
She even wrote a song about it.
She thought about the one called Ikuto. His honest eyes, that texture of hair. Everything about him was perfect. Amu felt a warm feeling in her chest as she strummed on her guitar. The notes just poured out, as she thought of him. That's when she decided that this is his song. No words were needed. Just the feeling. She knew it wasn't love what she was feeling. More like appreciation. For letting her breathe when she needed. For being the first person to see her as a normal person, and not a celebrity. The notes were mellow, but full of feeling.
"Hinamori." She looked to see Kukai at the door. She rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Kukai? Don't you see that I'm busy?" she grumbled as she put her guitar down. Kukai smiled as he sat next to her on the floor.
"I see that. Great new ballad. New song?" he asked as he reached for the chips next to her. Amu rolled her eyes again. "I don't think it's the kind of song that I want out there. It's not the same as the others." she explained. Kukai ruffled her hair.
"Come on. It's Saturday remember?"
Amu's eyes widened, as she stood up. Realization hit her as she grumbled. "The first Saturday of the month?" Kukai responded by nodding. Amu growled. "Ugh... Why tonight? I don't feel like it. We just had a concert a couple of days ago."
Moon Dexterity does monthly local concerts every first Saturday of the month.
Kukai raised an eyebrow. "I thought that you didn't care as long as you got to sing?" Amu looked down at the shaggy floor. "It's different this time." she stated as she clenched her fist. Ever since that night, she hasn't really felt like singing. She looked at Kukai. He looked excited as usual. Amu sighed as she walked over to her closet.
"Fine. But I'm only doing it for the fans." she declared. Kukai perked up as he stood up excitedly. "Great!"
• † • † •
"Please, Ikuto?"
"No."
"Please~? Please please please!"
"No, Utau."
"Pleeeaaassseee~!"
"Oh my god, fine!"
"Yay!"
Utau giggled as she danced to her room, to pick an outfit. Ikuto grouched as he walked upstairs to lock himself in his room for the next five hours. He just agreed to take Utau to another one of Moon Dexterity's concerts. He grumbled as he sat on his bed. Why does he do these things for his kid sister?
Because he loves her.
Oh, that's right. He sighed as he laid back on his mattress. He started to think about that girl again. He just can't stop. Flashes of her face appeared in his head as he rolled around on his bed. He has to get over this thought.
But he kept thinking it. Right until he fell asleep.
• † • † •
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
You can take your time
Take my time
Amu huffed as the song came to an end. It was their daily practice, before the concert. Kukai sighed. "I'm exhausted!" Nagihiko rolled his eyes.
"We haven't practiced this song in a while." he declared. Kukai stood up. "Of course. Amu how do you feel?" he asked the pink haired girl. Amu smiled. "I'm fine. Perfect." she answered. Kukai and the others smiled with her.
That song was about one of Amu's friends who committed suicide. It was quite a sad point in time for all of them.
After the moment of silence, Nadeshiko smiled at the other. "Why don't we all take a break?"
Everyone responded by nodding with a sigh.
Once they were seated on the bench, Kukai started to start a conversation. "Did you know that Hinamori's starting a new song?" he stated excitedly. Amu spit out her water. "Kukai! It's not a new song!"
"But you were playing your guitar in your room, and I've never heard that ballad before." he pointed at her. Amu grumbled. "It's nothing. Drop it."
They all dropped it for now. But Kukai was looking forward to hearing that calming guitar again. Amu didn't want to admit that the ballad was for Ikuto. That was a secret between her, and her guitar.
"Are you guys ready for the concert?" Yuu asked as he walked in. The band stood up. "Let's do this!" Kukai exclaimed as he hopped to Yuu's side. Nagihiko and Nadeshiko chuckled as they walked out the door. Amu snickered silently as she walked right behind them.
This is going to be one tiring night.
• † • † •
"IK-U-TO!" Utau screeched. Ikuto cringed as he look in the back view mirror. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he watched the eight excited girls jump around in excitement in the back. "What?" he growled.
"Can you play that again?"
He sighed as he pressed the track back button, and listened to the same song yet again. "Utau, we're on our way to an MD concert. Why do you have to listen to their CD on the way there too?"
Utau sighed. "Ikuto, you just don't understand." and with that, she chattered away with Saaya, and Yua. Ikuto rolled his eyes.
Once they finally made it to Tomodachi Stadium, Utau and the girls piled out. They were all wearing Moon Dexterity T-shirts, along with wrist bands and hair ties. Ikuto was just in a black T-shirt, and dark blue skinnies. He wouldn't be caught dead in MD merchandise.
What made things worse was that he had to go inside and actually be in the same room with them. But what made it even more worse, he had to sit front row with Utau and her friends. Saaya pulled onto Ikuto's arm. "Will you be my date for tonight?" she asked. Ikuto sighed.
"Saaya, I don't like you like that. We've been through this." he said. Saaya pouted. "Oh come on Ikuto! Just for tonight?" she whined. Ikuto looked at her annoyingly. "No." and with that, he went to go stand next to Utau.
When they finally made it to their seats, Ikuto put his head down. He didn't want anyone he knew see him. I mean, come on. Tsukiyomi Ikuto at a Moon Dexterity concert? How embarrassing. Even if it's the most famous band in the country.
• † • † •
"Come on! The show starts in ten!" the director yelled. Amu sighed as she buckled her signature combat boots. She put a black bow in her chest length pink hair.
"Hinamori, are you ready?" Kukai asked as he popped his head in her dressing room door. Amu laughed as she looked at him. "Yup. I'm all ready to go."
• † • † •
"ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR MOON DEXTERITY?" the announcer exclaimed. The crowd went wild as the band walked out on stage. They didn't waste anytime with starting.
Play: That's What You Get by: Paramore
Amu and Nagihiko played their electric guitars, Nadeshiko rocked out on the base, and Kukai banged on the drums like usual. The crowd started pumping their fist as Utau and her friends screamed their heads off.
This song was about Amu's ex-boyfriend. The one that ripped her heart in two. She was over it, but the song was a huge hit.
No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?
Utau and her friends sang along as Ikuto sank in his seat. Everyone was so loud. Everyone's already heard this song before, so why are they so pumped about it now? He looked at the band as they played. He laid his eyes on the drummer first. Souma Kukai. He smacked himself for remembering the name. That auburn hair, and emerald eyes. Too obvious. To cliche.
I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong
Amu sang her heart out. This was only the second time she's sang this song live. Last time, she started to cry because of the memories her and her ex shared. They were too much. So she didn't sing it for a while. He was her first and only boyfriend. And her last. Love doesn't exist.
Amu and Nagihiko jumped up and down as they played out. Nadeshiko bopped to the beat, while Kukai banged his head while hitting the drums.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Utau sang the lyrics along with her friends. Ikuto rolled his eyes as he looked at the guitarist and bassist. Fujisaki Nagihiko, and Nadeshiko. The overly happy twins. Their long purple hair was flowing with their body movements. The only thing you could tell the difference between the two, was that Nadeshiko had her hair up, and Nagihiko had his down.
Amu let her feelings and frustration out in her singing. She kept jumping up and down, with her guitar, and occasionally put her hands in the crowd so they could grab their hands. She recognized Utau and gave her a little wave. Utau screamed. She recognized Rima and Yaya and gave them a smile. They screamed as well. Once she gave them a handshake, she went back to jumping.
Amu and Nagihiko did their little solo. They exchanged smiles, as they rocked out. Ikuto stopped his eyes on her. She looked... familiar. After a few seconds of just guitars, Kukai and Nadeshiko came in with the base and drums. The crowd cheered on.
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.
This verse was really past tense. She remembered writing this song after about a week he stomped on her heart. She got over it a couple of years ago. He was the only one she let in. Then after about six months, he broke it off with no explanation. It was done, just like that.
Ikuto looked at Amu closely. She looked so courant. What was it? Sure, she was good-looking. But still... He wasn't close enough to see what's making him stare so much.
Amu suddenly locked eyes with Ikuto. Her breathed slightly hitched as she sang. But no one noticed. Those blue orbs. That azure hair... There he was. Mr. Perfect.
Kukai skillfully banged on the drums before the next chorus boomed in.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
Amu ripped her eyes off of him. She didn't want to be recognized.
Utau looked at Ikuto and whispered in his ear. "What was that?" Ikuto looked at her questionably. "What do you mean?" he asked. Utau rolled her eyes. "You and Amu-sama had a moment!" she squealed. Ikuto shook his head as he sank back in his chair. Utau shrugged as she drew her attention back on stage. But then she remembered that Amu said to call her "Amu".
Amu looked out into the crowd. She smiled at every single person. She started to jump up and down again, with Nagihiko. She was getting excited like she usually does. Nadeshiko was singing back up as usual.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
She sang it with energy.
Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Amu stopped her guitar, and let Nagihiko and Kukai take it. Nadeshiko grabbed a tambourine and shook it with the beat.
She saw the crowds smiles and smiled along with them. This song didn't hurt to sing anymore, so she had fun with it. Kukai's cheesy smile reached the audience as he banged on the drums. Nadeshiko winked at the drooling boys, and Nagihiko smiled at all the girls. Amu was gleaming, and shining. Everyone saw that. Nadeshiko had fun with singing back up for Amu. She sounded pretty good as well, but she didn't want to pursue a singing career. She's happy with the base.
Let's start, start, hey!
She started on the guitar again.
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
She swayed with the beat as everyone jumped up and down. Amu shook her hair, and played the guitar rapidly. Her smile grew along with the crowd. She loves what she does. It makes people happy. And that's what she's alive for.
Kukai, Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, Amu and the whole stadium jumped in.
That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Amu smiled when they sang her words.
Whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Amu played her guitar with more heart as the last chorus boomed in the stadium. She could hear the crowd sing along. She decided to take a chance and look at Ikuto one more time. He was sunk back in his chair. He looked like he didn't want to be here. Why was that? Was he feeling sick? Or maybe... Just maybe... He didn't like this song. No. Couldn't be.
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
She switched the lyrics at the end. She just couldn't fathom on why Ikuto wasn't enjoying himself. She looked over at Utau. They looked alike. Not in hair and eyes, but in face. She could tell they were siblings.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
She sang the last lyric as they all played the last of the song. When it ended, they all bowed.
"Thanks for coming tonight!" Amu shouted as they jumped off the stage and in the back.
She sighed as she plopped on the couch. She was exhausted. She started to see flashes of Ikuto's bored face in her head. She couldn't see why he looked so bored.
After her thoughts, she found herself standing up, and grabbing her black hoodie.
• † • † •
When she made it outside, she tucked more of her pink hair in her hoodie. She didn't want to cause a riot. She looked around desperately. Person after person, she didn't see him at all. It was starting to depress her. She worked hard on sneaking out, and he wasn't going to waste her hard work.
Amu was about to give up, when she saw blue. There he was.
"Ikuto..."
She started to run full speed towards him. His body was coming closer and closer, until she grabbed his hand, and dashed towards a private place. Ikuto was dumbfounded as he heard his sister.
"Ikuto! What do you think you're doing?" she screeched. Ikuto could only look back, as the unknown person pulled him away.
After finding a place to talk privately, Amu finally let go of Ikuto's hand. He huffed as he looked at her. His sapphire orbs became wide as he looked at the figure beside him. Was it her? Was this the girl that he's been thinking about non-stop? The mystery girl with no name?
"It's you..." Was all he could let out from his lips. She turned towards him, revealing her vivid golden eyes that he adored. It really was her. Her lips curled up in a small serene smile as she said, "Hello, Ikuto."
He smiled along with her as he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her fragile body. Her breath hitched in surprise as her body pressed against his. There was a moment when their bodies became one, and all was right with the world. Ikuto was finally able to see her again. To breathe the same air as her again. "It really is you..."
Amu smiled as she responded to the hug by wrapping her small arms around his back. She was glad to see him again, even if it was only after a few days. "Yeah... It's me."
• † • † •
"So why haven't I seen you before?" Ikuto asked her. They were sitting on the ground in a fairly clean alley, drinking tea out of a styrofoam cup. Amu chuckled lightly before answering, "I'm... new to the town."
Ikuto smiled as he grabbed her hand. They exchanged smiles as Amu blushed lightly. Ikuto was really the only person to treat her like this. To treat her like a normal person.
Ikuto looked into those golden eyes of hers. They were like pools of honey.
Amu almost forgot her reason for sneaking out in the first place. She looked at him seriously, making him twitch slightly. He stared back, boring his eyes into hers.
"What do you think of Moon Dexterity?" she asked. Ikuto looked at her weirdly. Why would she ask something so irrelevant? But she looked like this question was really important, so he answered honestly.
"I don't like them."
That made her world stop. "Wh-Why?" she tried to sound nonchalant about it, but she wasn't sure if it worked. As for Ikuto, he knew she wasn't happy with his answer. He looked at her worryingly before explaining.
"I just think they're one of those bands who think they're all high and mighty just because they're famous. My sister, Utau, loves them. I just don't get it. They're just another rock band." he declared. Amu looked down. She couldn't believe that he thought that of her band. But he didn't know that the lead singer was right in front of him.
"So they're basically the complete opposite of you." he finished with a smile. Amu wasn't sure to either be happy or upset. But she hid her feelings well. She let out a laugh before smiling. "Yeah, I guess." she sighed.
After a comfortable silence her cell rang. She saw it was Kukai.
"What do you want?" she hissed in her phone.
"Where the hell are you? Get back here!"
"Not now. I'm in the middle of something."
"No, Hinamori. We all know you like to rebel and everything, but we have an idea for you to go to a normal school! So get your ass back to the mansion!"
She almost dropped her phone. "I'm on my way."
After she snapped her phone shut, she looked at Ikuto. "I... Have to go." She started to run, only to have her wrist grabbed. She turned to see Ikuto. He looked at her desperately. "Please..."
Amu looked at him before he continued. "Tell me your name..." She saw pure desperation in his eyes. But she couldn't reveal herself. "I'm sorry. But I have to go." And with that, she ripped her arm from his grasp, and ran into the night.
• † • † •
"Okay, I'm here. What do you got?" she asked Kukai as she walked into the mansion and took off her hood. They stared at her for a moment before Nagihiko asked, "Where have you been?"
Amu sweat dropped before answering. "I needed some air. You guys know me." she reasoned. They all looked at her, shrugged, then continued on. Amu sighed of relief before asking again. "What do you got?"
Nagihiko coughed slightly before starting. "We saw how upset you were when you found out that it was impossible to go to a normal school." Amu rolled her eyes in annoyance. She didn't want to be reminded.
"Well, we finally have a way for you to go to school and not be harassed!" Kukai exclaimed as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Amu looked at all her friends, slightly worried.
"Wait. You guys aren't going to school with me?" she asked. Nagihiko and Nadeshiko shook their head. "We are not willing to take the risk." They said simultaneously. Amu looked at Kukai. Surely, he would do it, right?
"Oh, I'm going." he said with a glint in his eye. "I am not going to have a bunch of screaming guys come after you."
Amu laughed slightly. Kukai would do such a thing as to think that a bunch of males would chase after her. She rolled her eyes as she walked over to give Kukai a hug. He flinched slightly but hugged her back.
"Now, here is what we came up with." Nagihiko said as he looked at Amu seriously. "We're going to need you and Kukai to wear disguises."
• † • † •
That Monday, they started the plan.
"Uhm... Nagihiko?"
"Yes?"
"Why do I have to wear a blue wig?"
Nagihiko looked at Amu and chuckled slightly. "Because it suits you."
Amu looked in the mirror and blushed furiously. A blue wig. It really did suit her, to be honest. But she wasn't going to admit that out loud.
It sort of reminded her of Ikuto. It was shiny, and perfect. It was a bit long, but it looked pretty good. She looked over to Nadeshiko and saw that she was getting contacts and solution. She looked at her weirdly.
"Nadeshiko, what are you doing?"
"I'm getting your contacts prepared."
Amu looked at her with shock, and a bit of fear. She wasn't exactly comfortable with putting something in her eyes. But she wouldn't help but ask. "What color?"
"Sapphire."
How ironic.
Why are they making her look like basically Ikuto's twin sister? She looked over at Kukai. She had to stop herself from laughing, at the sight.
He was wearing a lighter auburn wig, with amethyst contacts. But that wasn't what made Amu laugh. What made her laugh was what was on his face. There, she was the nerdiest glasses she's ever seen in her teen life.
"Kukai! What did they do to you?" she laughed. Kukai grumbled. "Shut up! I wanted to look like this!" he exclaimed as he blushed. But his anger subsided quickly once he saw Amu. Her hair was azure, and her eyes were sapphire.
He smirked as he let out a whistle. "Well, look at you."
It was Amu's turn to blush again. But this time, her blush was even deeper. "Sh-Shut up!"
Her band mates looked at her in shock. She hasn't showed that side to her since they first started the band. Amu noticed, and covered her mouth. Her facade was broken for a second. She quickly regained her outer character, and coughed slightly.
"Now, where were we?"
The others chuckled. "What was that?" Kukai asked. Nagihiko just chuckled. Nadeshiko smiled. "Amu-chan's so cute."
Amu's blush came back, but not as deep as before. "Whatever."
• † • † •
"Okay. Now tell me your names." Nagihiko stated. Amu looked at him.
"Fujimori Misaki."
Nagihiko nodded towards Kukai. He smiled.
"Fujimori Hinata."
Nagihiko smiled with a nod.
"Now here are your uniforms." he said as he handed it to them. (a/n: The same uniform from Ikuto and Utau's school.) Amu smiled at her uniform. It was perfect for her. "My combat boots would look per-"
"No." said Nagihiko. Amu glared at him. "And why can't wear my combat boots?" she growled. She usually lets nothing in between her and her beloved shoes. Nadeshiko walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Because the tongue of it says, 'Property of Hinamori Amu, HANDS OFF.'." she explained. Amu sighed as she looked at her favorite pair of shoes. They've been with her since she started going on tour. It was in London, and she finally found the pair that suited her.
Nadeshiko smiled. "Besides, the uniform comes with shoes and thigh high socks." She handed the said items to her. Amu grouched as she looked at them. They were no combat boots... But it was worth it to be normal.
"Okay. But before we leave, I have to do something about those glasses, Kukai." Amu went to the box of fake glasses, and got out the thinnest pair she could get. She walked over to Kukai, and snatched that ugly pair out of his face. She replaced the pair and flashed him a smile. "There you go." With that said, she grabbed her zebra stripped, rainbow book bag.
Kukai grumbled as he grabbed his gray and black checkered book bag and walked behind her.
She adjusted her wig, and looked at herself in the mirror one more time, before her and Kukai walked out into Nagihiko's car so he could drive them to school.
• † • † •
Ikuto sat in his seat quietly. He looked out the window, wishing he was out of this hell hole he was forced to call school. He was a little peeved that his two friends were in different classes.
"I heard we're having a transfer student!"
"Two of them!"
"There are rumors that the girl is a local model!"
"Really? Maybe she knows Moon Dexterity!"
"Maybe!"
He heard the girls squeal as they gossiped about the girl.
"Everyone please take your seats." the teacher said as she sat at her desk. "As you all know, we have two transfer students." The class suddenly perked up. But they didn't speak, knowing that if they did, they would be scolded. Ikuto let out a quiet "Tch." Before looking at the teacher, slightly interested to see who the new students are. The teacher looked over at the sliding door with a smile.
"You both may come in now." Everyone turned their head towards the door.
In, came in a beautiful girl with glassy sapphire eyes, and azure hair. She had the most perfect body, and pretty face. Ikuto couldn't help but stare. But then again, she did look familiar... Did he know her from somewhere?
He looked at the boy next to her. He had light auburn hair with amethyst eyes. He was exceptionally good looking even with glasses.
Utau looked at the boy in wonder. He looked quite familiar along with his sister. It wasn't the hair or eyes, but the face and body.
Amu scanned the room. She made a faint smile as she saw all the normal face- Wait a minute. Her eyes stopped when she saw blue. In a way, she wasn't surprised to see him. She was used to him popping out of nowhere.
But, how was she going to react around him? When she looked around the room, she saw that a few girls here and there were looking at Ikuto as he stared at her. They had hearts for eyes, and they looked idolized by him.
Amu wasn't going to be like that. Sure, she wanted to be normal, but hey. She wasn't going to be a screaming fan girl for some guy just because he's perfect in every way... And very nice... And mesmerizing eyes...
Stop. She can't think about that. He's just a regular guy, and that's it. But why was he staring straight at her? Does he noticed something? She could only stare back, letting herself get lost into those mazarine eyes of his.
Kukai looked at Amu and Ikuto having their moment. Something was going on, and he was waiting for the events to occur. He also scanned the room, and looked at all the normal faces. His eyes stopped at a young, blond amethyst eyed girl. Why did his eyes stop at her? He had no idea.
"Okay. Why don't you introduce yourself?" the teacher interrupted their thoughts. Kukai snapped out of it first, and started to speak. "Fujimori Hinata at your service!" he exclaimed with a thumbs up. He also didn't forget to do his wink.
After that being said, he, and Amu heard a hunch of gasps coming from the students.
"Did you see..."
"Yeah I saw..."
They stared in awe at Kukai. "Fujimori-kun." he looked at Utau. "Yeah?"
"Do you happen to listen to Moon Dexterity?"
They wanted to know since he did the signature Kukai stance perfectly.
Kukai froze at the question. He didn't know how to answer. He looked at Amu and she only nodded enough for him to notice. He smiled at the students. "Every now and then. I like the drummer." Amu elbowed him in the stomach. Thank goodness nobody noticed. Kukai winced as he looked at his 'sister'.
Everyone turned their attention to Amu. How should she react? What should her attitude be?
But then everything hit her.
She flipped her long azure wig, blinked her glassy sapphire eyes, put all her weight on the left side of her body, and placed her left hand on her left hip.
"Fujimori Misaki. Nice to meet'cha." she said coolly, and nonchalantly. Everyone stared at her in awe. "She's so cool..." She heard the whispers of her classmates. She rolled her eyes.
The teacher gave the 'Fujimori's' a smile. "Fujimori-kun, you can take your seat next to Tsukiyomi-san." Kukai smiled as he took his seat next to Utau, flashing a smile at her. Utau blushed faintly, as she gave a smile.
"And, Fujimori-san, you can have a seat next to Tsukiyomi-kun." She pointed to her new desk. Amu had a quick thought. "Tsukiyomi...? Where have I heard that before?" She disregarded it for now, as she walked to her seat. As she walked, she noticed that Ikuto was still staring at her.
She needed to act as cold as possible to him, if she was gonna keep this secret.

Once the lunch bell rang, Kukai stood up immediately. He walked over to Amu's desk and smiled. "Come on, Hina- I mean, Misaki! Lunch starts now!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her hand and darted towards the cafeteria.
Amu ate in silence as Kukai gobbled on his food. He also invited Utau to eat with him, which she took the offer happily. But what he didn't expect, was to have a bunch of girls and guys follow suit.
"Hey, did you go to that Moon Dexterity concert, Saturday night?"
Amu and Kukai almost choked on their food.
"Yeah, I went. It was so awesome!"
"What song did they play?"
"They played 'That's What You Get'."
"Man~! That's my favorite song from them! I wish I could of watched it!"
"Why couldn't you, Nanami?"
"My parents were out so I couldn't go. I had to watch my little sister. And she completely hogged the T.V all night!"
Amu froze. "Sister... Ami..."
She hasn't seen her sister in five years, along with her mother. Kukai noticed her distraught expression, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "It's gonna be okay, Hinamori. Okay?" he whispered. Amu looked at him and smiled, as she whispered back, "Thanks Kukai."
"Kukai?"
They both turned to Utau, a little worried. Did she find something out?
"He's my favorite!"
They both sighed in relief.
When Amu was done, she decided to explore the school, since she had some time left. She needed to kill ten minutes and exploring was a good time killer. As she walked the halls of the school, she smiled. Having a disguise was definitely worth it.
She walked up an unfamiliar staircase. Her, being quite the explorer, didn't care if she was lost or not. She always found her way back. When she made it to the top, there was a door. Curious, she opened it, leading to a roof. She smiled as she saw the clear blue sky, and the smell of fresh air.
"Yo."
She heard a husky voice behind her. She jumped in surprise as she put her hands up in defense. You never know if there's a pervert on a roof or not. But instead of seeing a raging pervert, she saw none other than Ikuto. She sighed of relief.
"Oh. It's just you."
Ikuto raised an eyebrow at the girl. Usually every girl he came in contact with, would fall in his arms. Metaphorically of course.
"Just me?" he spoke. His velvet voice ringing in her ears. Amu tried her best to act cool. "You heard me."
Ikuto smirked. She seemed interesting. But somehow familiar. But he would disregard that for now. She was pretty cute. The long silky azure hair, the glassy sapphire eyes, she was very pretty... But not as beautiful as his mystery girl.
"Hmmm." he hummed. Amu looked at him weirdly. "Wh-What?" she stuttered. She smacked herself mentally for even speaking. Ikuto walked up closer to her. So close she had to back herself up against the door. He put his arm against the wall, right above her head. Amu gulped as his face became closer to hers. "Interesting." his voice was ringing in her ears once again. Amu tried her best not to blush, but it wasn't quite working.
She thought about her position. Ikuto's used to having girls fall all over him. Amu wasn't going to be one of those girls. She told her blush to go away, and she put on a stubborn expression. "Okay. You're way too close. Have you ever heard of personal space?" she asked, annoyed.
Ikuto was slightly shocked to hear those words. That was the first time a girl has ever been cold to him. He let out a laugh. It was very interesting, indeed. "Why are you laughing?" she asked.
Ikuto shook his head. "Nothing. It's a secret." he answered as he inched his face closer to hers. Amu tried pushing him off, but it wasn't working. His body was too heavy. Ikuto was slightly entertained by this girl. She was something. He stood up straight, and took a few steps back. He smirked as he walked to the roof door, and gave one last look at her.
"See you around," he started as he walked inside. "Misa-chan." He finished as he closed the door. Amu stood there dumbfounded.
"What just happened?"
She stood there for a minute to think. She needs to cover up her 'Amu Hinamori' identity, and her 'Ikuto Mystery Girl' one.
Looks like she's gonna have to hide two identities instead of just one.
