Chapter 2: Unexpected Surprises.
I heard the alarm set off and I woke up angry and confused, angry cause I had let myself dream again of Ikuto and confused cause I remembered that weird spell that happened 3 nights ago.
It was some weird voce that said that I'll be with Ikuto some day, that I'll find the true heir to the Dumpty Key, that Kukkai and Utau will attend together their last middle school year, that Yaya and Kairi were so smart and that's why their starting high school so early.
That had been 3 days ago and it bothered, good thing it was Sunday today which means I get to go again to our new Christian church, finally cause the other was full and I get to be with all the people I like, so we got up early today.
Nikkaidou: Morning, sunshine.
Hatsune: Morning, bro.
Nikkaidou: You seem in a better mood.
Hatsune: I slept well. And all that breakfast?
Nikkaidou: (in-love face) Yukari's coming! And also Kairi.
Hatsune: Good, presi is coming.
Nikkaidou: You get to see your friends.
Hatsune: Hey, speaking of that, you mind if I go walking to Kukkai's house? I told Utau I'd meet her there, so we go all together.
Nikkaidou: Sure but you take Kairi.
Hatsune: Of course! Kiddy king and Yaya will have a flip when they find out Kairi's gonna move to town.
Finally they arrived and while my brother and his fiancée stared at each other sheepishly which obviously bothered me all that lovely-dovey crap, I talked with Kairi about him starting middle school one year early cause of his super grades and me starting high school.
Hatsune: We'll leave now.
Nikkaidou: Okay, see you at church.
Yukari: Take care, kids.
Kairi: We'll be.
After walking a little bit, we started talking again.
Kairi: So… who are we meeting?
Hatsune: Utau, Kukkai, Tadase, Yaya and Nagihiko.
Kairi: I know all of them, except the last one.
Hatsune: You'll like him.
Kairi: (absent-minded) Yaya's coming.
Hatsune: Someone's happy with Yaya.
Kairi: Wh-what? Of course not!
Hatsune: Why don't you tell her Kairi?
Kairi: I don't know how.
Hatsune: You will.
Kairi: How are you dealing with Tsukyomi?
Hatsune: Umm, look here we are!
Kairi: Keep doing that because tomorrow you'll see him.
Hatsune: Just be nice.
In that instant at the old Souma house a tornado of four big guys came out to hug me, yeah, Kukkai's big brothers knew since I was a baby and of course I was to them a hot but little sister.
Guys: Hatsu-chan!
As they hugged me, I was left without air, I really needed to breathe but I didn't mind being hugged, I felt special once again since…
Souma mom: Kids! Let her breathe! Oh Hatsu-chan! (Hugs Hatsune) You've always been special in this house.
Hatsune: Oh, Souma-sama! You are special to me too. You're like family!
Souma mom: Well, gotta leave. Boys, take care of all of them.
Guys: Will do, mom!
Kukkai: Hatsune! (Hugs Hatsune) Nice to have back, bff!
Hatsune: Dude, I've missed you too! (Still hugging)
Guys: Isn't that sweet? Hatsu-chan and Kukkai!
Utau: Guys, that's not funny, don't mess with my boyfriend. Is that…
(Gasps and then screams) Hatsune! I've missed you!
Hatsune: (hugs Utau) Nice to see you again! I've missed you, soul sister!
Utau: It's great to have you back! Ready to go?
Hatsune: Fine by me, but we're waiting for Tadase and Yaya.
Yaya: (runs and hugs Hatsune) Hatsu-chiii! I missed you! Are you coming back? Are you going to school? You heard I'm going to middle school? It's great! We'll still be friends?
Hatsune: One thing at the time. Yes I'm going to school, it's awesome that you're going to middle school and of course we'll be friends. What's up, kiddy king? You've gotten taller.
Tadase: Nice to see you, Nikkaidou-sama, but don't call me that way, it reminds of…
Hatsune: Fine then. Let's go.
It wasn't that much of a walk and the pastor announced we were having a teenagers' group and that we were also having a teenagers' choir and that we should try to bring more teenagers.
So far I hadn't seen him, we went out and talked a little bit before going home and I found out my brother was having the leadership of the teenagers' group.
Besides that, there weren't much interesting things, so at night I went to sleep and just waited for tomorrow.
Ff to the next day
Great, about to start high school and have to be in the same classroom with Ikuto, this can't get any worse. "Hatsune!" said my brother, I knew that scream, it was the "Hatsune" that meant hurry up, so I decided to get ready faster.
While we were in the car, all the songs were casually about love or betrayal and stuff like that, so I put on my headphones and listened to anime music.
Nikkaidou: I'll pick you up ten minutes later after I get out of my shift.
Hatsune: Good, it'll give me some time to talk.
Nikkaidou: You always talk in school, well, have good day.
Hatsune: Bye bye, Yuu-onisan.
I entered the classroom and many knew from my elementary and middle school and that party, the party that should have never happened, but anyway I took the seat my sensei indicated.
These were two person desks meaning I'd shared many moments with someone, hopefully it will be someone good.
Sensei: Ohaiyo, mina (Hello, guys), I'm Cross-sensei and I'll be happy to be your sensei, along with my colleague, Yagari-sensei which will have other classes with you, Nikkaidou-chan, right?
Hatsune: You can call me Hatsune-chan if you'd like.
Cross: Fine, Hatsu-chan, your partner will arrive any moment, he's just in the office.
This man had mood swings, just like my brother, first all happy, then really serious. Good thing I'll soon live on my own when Yuu marries Yukari or maybe with Utau.
Class seemed to pass until the door opened…
Cross: Ah, Tsukyomi-kun, you finally join us! :D, please take a seat with your partner Hatsune-chan.
He saw me and his eyes widened, I suppose I was doing the same thing, why did he had to have those piercing eyes that got to my soul?
It'll take so much to forgive but I've taught that I can't keep a grudge for so long, yet it hurt to watch him and when did he get to our seat?
Ikuto: How are you, Hatsu-chan?
Hatsune: Fine, Tsukyomi-senpai.
Ikuto: What happened to "Ikuto-kun"?
Hatsune: Disappeared two weeks ago, don't think I don't know you felt my presence.
Ikuto: I'm sorry, I –
Hatsune: Don't! We're in class.
Ikuto's POV
What's happen to her? All those years made her colder yet more mature but when she saw me with Amu two weeks ago, her eyes changed from missing me to being hurt.
I bet she assumed I didn't love her and it wasn't that, I was never her boyfriend because it wasn't the right moment and Amu, I like her but she's like a replacement of Hatsune, when I left her two years ago and came back soon, she wasn't here and Amu was just like her when she was younger but immature, that's why I only messed with her to see if she came closer to Tadase.
But any way I'll make sure Hatsune forgives me and finally be the boyfriend she deserves.
Hatsune: Oi, Tsukyomi-senpai!
Ikuto: Nani?
Hatsune: First, you seem lost in your thoughts and second, do you know if there's singing and dancing kinda clubs here?
Ikuto: First, you made me get lost in thoughts and second yes, there is, it's called glee club (I wanna have them singing and stuff, don't judge!) I could help you get in.
Hatsune: How so?
Ikuto: I was their best singer for two years, known as the Lonely Angel.
Hatsune: (gasps) You were the lonely angel?
Ikuto: Yeah, why?
Hatsune: I heard you, well, keeping low profile I attended several concerts of the school and heard you. (blushes)
Ikuto: You know, you're still cute when you blush.
Hatsune: Shut it.
Ikuto: Anyway, I checked and they remember me their star since middle school.
Hatsune: No fair, you get to be the star.
Ikuto: I never really was here, I sent illusions of myself because I was working for Easter. You see we can have a nice conversation still?
Hatsune: It's just your way of personality, that's why you can fool girls.
Ikuto: I never fooled you, but it wasn't our time.
Hatsune: You just make me feel like I was always a rebound.
Ikuto: What about me? I was also with you when you didn't date or when you broke up with your ex.
Hatsune: Don't try to act innocent with me; it will take you time to make me forgive you.
Ikuto: Will you at least give me a chance?
Hatsune: For what?
Ikuto: For being forgiven by you and to win your heart and be the boyfriend you deserve.
She stayed watching me dumbfounded but I could see she believed my words.
Hatsune: Ok, I have forgiven you but I haven't forgotten.
Ikuto: You still love me? I don't need answers, I see it in your face but know that Amu was like seeing you when you were young, I don't really like her and I still love you.
She just watched me get up and get ready for next class but she followed me since she was going to be my partner for the rest of high school.
Believe me, Hatsune, I'll have your heart back.
