Chapter 1: Main Memories that still haunt me.
Another day at home in this vacation season and I'm so bored. While my charas are playing around the living room, my bro Nikkaidou is so busy with his fiancée that I've got nobody to tease; I wonder how Kairi is doing with the two lovebirds at his home.
I wish I were with Utau right now but she is with Kukkai, so no place for single Bff, if only Ikuto were here, I'd be playing with Yoru or going out somewhere but he had another girl, I still remember the day I found out.
Flashback, two weeks ago.
Hatsune: Nikkaidou!
Nikkaidou: Yeah?
Hatsune: Can I go out now?
Nikkaidou: But you just got here.
Hatsune: But I wanna go around and see what I've been missing 'cause of Easter.
Nikkaidou: But be back soon, I'm taking to dinner little sis!
Hatsune: Bye bye!
How I've missed my beautiful town, suddenly everything was beautiful, probably because I haven't been here in a while but hopefully I'll see my friends and meet those new girls they talk so much about, Rima and Amu.
Also, I'd like to see Ikuto, Utau mentioned that he's back from his journey and I hope I can talk to him about what happened a few years ago.
No way! :O Ikuto is right across the street, I'm about to call him when I see something different, he's staring dumbly at another girl, calling her Amu-koi. No! This isn't real! Utau said…
Apparently, he forgot me over these months even though his messages and letters said other but it wouldn't be the first time he lied to me but Utau wouldn't, so from now, you Hinamori Amu are my rival for Ikuto's heart.
I came home running and I barely told Nikkaidou what had happened, he insisted that I deserved so much better like when I was with Kukkai, but even though I liked guys, I wouldn't love them like Ikuto but I was never his girlfriend.
Back to normal time.
I couldn't help it, soon I would start high school and since now middle school and high school are in the same building I would see them but according to Tadase, he and Amu had something and for her good they should.
Nikkaidou: Oi! Little sis!
Hatsune: Nani? (What)
Nikkaidou: Dinner's ready, I brought for you here, let's in your room.
Hatsune: (while chewing) Do I worry you so much?
Nikkaidou: You're not accepting it well.
Hatsune: Here we go again.
Nikkaidou: What do you want me to say? "Geez I can't wait til Ikuto is finally your boyfriend"
Hatsune: Just because you're happy doesn't mean I have to pretend I'm too.
Nikkaidou: I'm not asking you that, just don't be miserable.
Hatsune: Thanks for dinner, I'm gonna sleep, I've already taken my shower.
Nikkaidou: Fine, night sister.
Hatsune: Good night, brother.
I played a recorded file I kept in many things but I played it in my cellphone to start sleeping, it's the song Ikuto made for me when we had talked about our feelings and how we were 'cause of our families in Easter (Note: it's the song Ikuto plays in violin tsukiyo no violinist) and with that I drifted away into another dream of all my memories with him.
Dream.
It starts first with Hatsune 6 years old, Ikuto 7 years old and Utau 5 years old.
Hatsune: Dad, why do we have to go?
Hirokeno: Hatsune, it's important.
Shekinah: Sweetie, we're going with our friends and job partners. Besides you could make friends now that you'll be attending elementary school.
Nikkaidou: What about me?
Shekinah: You too, sweetheart.
Hirokeno: We're here, be nice.
Aruto: Hiro! It's been time!
Hirokeno: I know, Aruto. How's the family?
Aruto: Great, they'll come here right now, speaking of that, these are your kids?
Hirokeno: Yes, this is Yuu, on middle school, and this is Hatsune, about to start elementary.
Nikkaidou and Hatsune: (bowing heads) Good afternoon.
Aruto: She'll get great with my kids, 5 and 7 years isn't that of much difference.
Kira (Ikuto's mom/ I don't know her real name): Shall we go to the living room for tea?
Aruto: Yes! Just let the kids be with Hatsune. Ikuto! Utau! Be outside!
Ikuto: Hai, hai. ( Hai means yeah).
In that instant I saw someone so unique I couldn't believe it was real, I had seen people's hair and eyes with many colors but none like this, midnight blue hair and eyes, it was unique (Note: she doesn't like him yet, it's in another memory)
Ikuto: Ohaiyo (Hello)
Hatsune: Ohaiyo.
Ikuto: So you're my dad's bff daughter?
Hatsune: Yes, Nikkaidou Hatsune.
Ikuto: Tsukyomi Ikuto, can I aski you something?
Hatsune: Sure.
Ikuto: Why are you staring at me?
Hatsune: Gomenasai (sorry). I've never seen anyone with blue hair and eyes like yours. It's a unique color.
Ikuto: Thanks, your purple eyes are cute.
He just said my eyes are cute? Well who can get guys? And how is it that I was becoming best friends with a guy? But a chirpy voice interrupted my thoughts.
Utau: Ikuto! What are you doing with this girl?
Hatsune: Nikkaidou Hatsune, pleasure to meet you.
Utau: Name's Utau and just so you know, Ikuto is mine so back off!
Hatsune: (whispering to Ikuto) she does know you are siblings, right?
Ikuto: She still doesn't get it.
We had been playing all afternoon and it was great being with Utau and Ikuto, but then suddenly I heard someone falling and I saw Utau on the ground, I felt bad for her, the look in her eyes was a complete disappointment, in this instant with all of my heart, I offered her my hand.
Utau: Why are you doing this?
Hatsune: Cause I know what you're feeling and I also know we can be great friends.
Utau: I've been thinking that all afternoon.
That was the day I made with two best friends besides Kukkai.
Next, Hatsune is eleven and Ikuto twelve, he is on sixth grade.
It has been years since I've known the Tsukyomi family, Utau is the best friend I could have asked for and Ikuto is always there for me, but now I've got to help him , he looks bothered and he won't tell me why but I know he's upset. (Note: This is the day Hatsune starts to like Ikuto)
Hatsune: Ikuto, can I ask you something?
Ikuto: You know you're the only one I trust.
Hatsune: Why are you upset?
Ikuto: Look, we're almost at your place.
Hatsune: Ikuto, I mean it, what is it?
Ikuto: …. My dad is leaving.
Hatsune: Why?
Ikuto: He says that he's loyal to Easter and I've heard your family is the next target, well your parents and your brother.
Hatsune: I know, they also want your sister, you and me.
Ikuto: Take away that sad face
In that instant, Ikuto held me in his arms and I felt my problems leave my life and I looked directly into his eyes, the same piercing midnight blue eyes of 5 years ago and for the first time, I felt.. Different, I felt blood rush into my cheeks and butterflies in my stomach, I felt that only Ikuto could protect me.
Ikuto: Hatsune, are you all right?
Hatsune: Yeah, just let go of me.
Ikuto: Noo.
Hatsune: Perv.
Ikuto: Say that again.
Hatsune: Perv.
Ikuto: Say that again and I won't let you go.
Hatsune: Perv.
1 year later, Ikuto in middle school with Hatsune at a "middle school crew" party.
Dude 1: Oh yeah! New students' party!
Dude 2: Wait to start a new year!
Dude 3: But why is that sixth grader in here?
Dude 4: Don't you know she's the popular of elementary and she knows of parties, her parents leave alone with her brother and he throws cool parties, college guy.
I wasn't confortable at all, but Ikuto had invited, if only Utau had come…
Ikuto: Hatsune! Snap out of your thoughts.
Hatsune: Can I leave?
Ikuto: No, they want you to have an early iniciation.
Hatsune: Since when do I need an iniciation? I've had a lot with Nikkaidou.
Ikuto: You need one, besides I-I want you here (he blushes).
Hatsune: It's different, besides the only game is Truth or Dare and I don't wanna kiss any of these losers, besides I've already kissed you.
Even though I said it without feeling, that had been a great day, we kissed in his graduation day when I told him I would miss him in school, his lips were warm and soft and also it was our first kiss, yeah the first for both of us…
Ikuto's POV.
I remember that day, even though I didn't tell her my true feelings, I hoped today we could kiss but in front of everybody?
And I can't tell her my true feelings cause I'm not the right guy for her, not yet, but even though another girls would come, I know I'll be with Hatsune for the rest of my life.
Dude 3: Oi! Tsukyomi!
Dude 1: Time for truth or dare!
Ikuto: C'mon Hatsune.
As we sat, I saw how they stared, hadn't they seen cute girls before? But I couldn't blame them, Hatsune wasn't cute, she was beautiful.
And she did know about dares, she licked the floor, smelled a shoe, drink beer in one sip, what on Earth did Yuu taught her?
Dude 4: This kid thinks she's better than us.
Hatsune: I know I am and everybody in this party does too.
Dude 1: It's luck.
Hatsune: It's having an older brother.
Dude 3: Right, I have the ultimate dare.
Hatsune: Bring it.
Dude 2: Kiss Tsukyomi on the lips a long time.
Hatsune: Tha-that's so chi-childish.
Dude 3: Well, do it.
She looks nervous and I must admit, I'm too but I can't help to be also excited. We both stood up and she got closer, she blushed and I decided to comfort her as I placed my hand on her cheek.
Ikuto: (whispering) Hatsune, it's okay, just like that first time, okay?
Hatsune's and Ikuto's POV (Ikuto's on italic letter)
Well, it couldn't hurt. I got on tiptoes because he's taller than me and I placed my lips on his. The contact made almost melt and when I was about to get off, he wrapped his arms around my waist.
I could feel her, her skin, her scent, and her lips and before she could back down, I got her close to me and kissed with lots of passion and in that instant she kissed, I didn't want this moment to end.
It was like we were both
Connected.
Connected.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed with much force like he was, we were one, at least for this instant he wanted, eventually we both needed air, so we separated.
Hatsune's POV.
Dude 1: Now, that's a kiss.
Hatsune: I'll be right back.
I went outside to breathe, but I couldn't help thinking that he wanted but who I am kidding? He'd never love me like I do, I'm just his sister to him, but the kiss wasn't just passion, it was love.
Ikuto: You mind if we go now?
Hatsune: Let's go.
Ikuto: You okay?
Hatsune: Fine.
Ikuto: Hatsu-chan, what's happening?
Could I tell him how I felt? How would he react? Would he feel the same way? We had already stopped and I decided to tell him the truth, so I turned around to see him.
Hatsune: Ikuto, I-I… I like you, well I love you.
I was just about to go off running when I felt his arms pull me to his chest as I heard him whisper "Do you love me?" and I said I do.
Ikuto: I love you too.
His kiss was just as passionate as the first one but this was sweet, like his lips had been made just for me, we pulled apart but we stayed hugged, then we went hand in hand home.
He left on my doorstep and kissed my forehead, the weird thing is that he said… "I'll ask you later to be my girlfriend cause it has to be perfect".
Two years later, Hatsune is fourteen and Ikuto is fifteen, this is one year before Amu transfers to the city.
We had been kinda dating for the last couple of years but the whole world we were only a free, no matter how much time we spent together and even though we had kissed and tell each other a lot of stuff, we weren't officially dating and we weren't officially girlfriend and boyfriend.
Ikuto had other girlfriends and I dated other guys but we still had time to kiss and tell each other sweet things, but since the entrance of Nikkaidou to Easter, I was lonelier than ever and neither Ikuto's or mine parents were around and Ikuto had been forced to enter Easter, our world was getting bad and I was scared when Ikuto said I had to go to a walk with, that he was gonna tell me something important.
Ikuto: Hatsune, you know I care a lot about you.
Hatsune: Of course.
Ikuto: And that I would never do anything to hurt you.
Hatsune: Ikuto, you're scaring me, what's going on?
Ikuto: I'm gonna have to leave you.
Hatsune: What?
Ikuto: Easter's on my heels and they'll hurt you if they we're together.
Hatsune: But.. We aren't.
Ikuto: Not officially but with Nikkaidou inside, they'll hurt you, I may have to move out of town or keep a low profile.
Hatsune: Ikuto, you can't leave!
Ikuto: I'm sorry.
He gave a last kiss to my forehead and then he went away from my life, then my life became a nightmare, my brother insisted on getting me to Easter, I was forced to become a prototype to some projects (Utau's singing and Ikuto's Death Rebel transformation) and without him, I just couldn't stand my life, I had friends but I had to be in low profile, I vaguely talked to Utau and Kukkai until now.
I just hope tomorrow at church can calm me down for Monday at school where I'll see Ikuto again.
