Yuki- Second Please vote on my poll that is on my profile! And third I didn't get as many reviews as I would have liked :( but thanks to the one author that did review my story! :) Here is chapter two of Stolen Life enjoy!
Utau- This may come as a shock..but Yuki doesn't own Shugo Chara. Peach-pit does.
Yuki- I don't? Aw man..
"AMU!" the voice shouts and Amu turns around. "What?" she says into the air. "Whose there?" asks Amu. Amu then goes over to the cliffs where she last heard the voice and starts to look over the edge.
When she she slips on the rocks and starts to fall over the edge...
When someone from behind Amu grabs her arm,keeping her from falling off the edge of the cliff. A startled Amu looks over to see Utau.
"Are you okay?" Utau asks after she pulls Amu up to her feet. "Yea.." says Amu. "What are you doing here?" Amu asks Utau wondering why she was at the cliffs alone.
"I like walking alone around the cliffs at night" answers Utau shrugging. Amu then sighs in relief that it was just Utau and not some creepy killer.
"Who were you talking to?" Utau asks looking around. "Um..it's to bizarre" answers Amu shaking her head with a sigh.
"Well I like bizarre,come on try me" says Utau being persistent.
"Well earlier tonight I thought I saw someone on the rocks who looked just like me" says Amu. "And um people at school are saying I was someplace I know I wasn't."
"It's weird I know...I told you" says Amu.
"That is bizarre" says Utau nodding her head in agreement. "Yea..." says Amu.
"But..I mean you just lost your father right? I read about it. He was a great artist" says Utau giving her a sad small smile.
"Thanks" replies Amu looking down at her feet,still touchy about talking about her father.
"What does this have to do with my father?" Amu asks confused.
"Well, I know I'd be messed up if my father died" says Utau.
"So you're stressing and blanking out on stuff and seeing things.." says Utau providing Amu a explanation for the weird things happening since she arrived in Seiyo.
"But so what if you're going nuts..I say you're entitled" says Utau with a smile. Amu looks over at Utau before smiling back but then realizes she never gave this girl her name.
Amu then puts her hand out in front of Utau. "Hinamori Amu." she says. Utau then grabs her hand and shakes it. "Well I'm pretty sure,I've given you my name..but I'm Utau..Hoshina Utau" Utau says.

Later that very same night. Ami was sleeping peacefully in her room. When her door starts to open and someone walks into the room.
Ami who was fast asleep didn't notice a person looming over her. Amu sleeping in her own room awakens from the sound of Ami's screaming.
Amu quickly jumps out of bed and runs over to Ami's room. "Get off of me" Amu hears Ami shout from her room. "Get away from me" Ami shouts again as Amu is outside the bedroom door.
Ami is gasping for air as she struggles to turn on her lamp. She turns on the lamp coughing as Amu now enters the room running over to Ami.
"Hey are you okay?" Amu asks sitting next to Ami on her bed. "Come here" says Amu in a soothing voice.
"You scared me alright,now we're even" says Ami scared out of her mind and pushing Amu away.
"What are you talking about?" asks Amu in a worried tone of voice and reaching out to Ami. But Ami pushes her away.
"I felt someone choking me and I woke up and it was you" says Ami in an angry voice.
"I wasn't choking you..I was in my room I heard you screaming" says Amu coming towards Ami.
"You're such a liar" says Ami pushing Amu off her bed. Midori (Ami and Amu's mother) then runs into Ami's room after hearing all the shouting.
"Hey what is going on?" asks Midori. "She was choking me" says Ami still angry and giving Amu a glare.
"You were dreaming" says Amu upset that her sister was telling lies about her. "Get out" shouts Ami pointing at the door. Ami continues to cough and cry in fright.
"Honey calm down" says Midori walking over to Ami. Amu then starts to leave the room. "I'm sorry Amu" says Midori looking over at Amu.
"No it's fine" says Amu walking out of the room. Ami then holds on to her throat and continues to cough.
"It's okay,everything is fine sweety" says Midori to Ami. Midori then looks into the hallway to see if Amu went back to her room.
Amu then walks back into her room to see her balcony doors are open. She walks over to them and shuts the door. When she hears the voice again. "Amu!" the voice whispers. Amu then walks over to her mirror where the voice came from..and she heard it again. "Amu!"
Amu stares at the mirror and her reflection starts to talk to her. "Amu..I found you"
Amu stares at the mirror for a couple more second before fainting from shock.
xXxXx
The next morning, Ami and Midori are downstairs talking about the incident that happened last night.
"I heard the door and then I didn't know what was going on, but then I felt her hands around my throat" says Ami explaining what happened to her mother.
Amu was now listening in from behind the wall.
"I looked up and I know it was her mom,I saw her face" says Ami on the verge of tears.
"I saw it was her and she was squeezing my throat tighter and tighter, I couldn't breathe" says Ami.
"Ami" says Amu revealing herself and walking towards Ami and her mother. Ami walks into her mother's arms scared of Amu.
"Do you still think I tried to choke you?" Amu asks. "Because you did!" shouts Ami before looking at her mother.
"Honey sometimes nightmares they can be very real" says Midori. "This was real mom I swear" says Ami.
Midori now starting to believe Ami looks over at Amu in shock.
"You really think I tried to strangle her" says Amu now upset her mother believes Ami and not her.
"Are you kidding me?" says Amu. "She's just so upset" says Midori referring to a now crying Ami.
"Is this how it's going to be mom, now that dad's gone?" says Amu. "What do you mean by that?" asks Midori.
Y-you taking her side all the time" says Amu clearly upset. "No, you know what I'm not taking anyone's side" says Midori.
"So you believe her..since she's your favorite right?" says Amu. "Amu that is a ridiculous thing to say and you know it" says Midori angry at what Amu was insinuating.
"Whatever mom I'm leaving" says Amu leaving to go to school.
xXxXx
At school Amu and Utau where sitting in front of the building talking about the weird things going on in Amu's life.
"So let me guess..more weirdness?" asks Utau. "And getting weirder" says Amu with a sigh.
"So..lay it on me" says Utau with a smile wanting to help Amu. "I saw her again" says Amu glad to get that off her chest.
"Your doppelganger?" asks Utau. Amu then gives her a weird look. "Your double" says Utau explaining what she meant.
"Yea..she was in my mirror" says Amu. "Your mirror?" Utau asks clarifying what Amu just said.
"Right" says Amu. "So you saw yourself?" says Utau chuckling.
"No no this time she actually spoke to me" says Amu. "What really?What did she say?" asks Utau.
"She said Amu, I found you" says Amu. "Huh? Fascinating" says Utau going into deep thought.
"Alright you want my input?" asks Utau. "That I'm the mayor of crazy town" says Amu.
"No,however I do think that your having trouble coping with the changes in your life" says Utau.
"Sad..but true" says Amu nodding her head and agreeing with Utau. "So..uh as a result,you lost your sense of self" says Utau.
"Ok go on" says Amu gesturing her to continue her opinion. "You have conjured up an other. A sort of sympathetic version of you to help you deal" says Utau.
"Ok..but why would a sympathetic version of myself...try and choke my little sister?" Amu asks.
"You did?" asks Utau shocked. "Uh I mean she did?" asks Utau. "According to Ami" says Amu.
"I don't know" says Utau answering Amu's earlier question. "Me neither" says Amu with a sigh.
xXxXx
That night Amu was sleeping when she heard her name being called. "Amu" the voice calls. Amu's eyes immediately open and she sits up and stares at her mirror.
"Amu" the voice calls again from the mirror. Amu then hears water running and looks over at her bathroom.
She turns on the lamp on her nightstand and gets out of bed to head towards the bathroom.
She slowly walks into the bathroom looking around. As she enters the bathroom she see's the sound of the water is coming from the shower.
The shower curtains are shut and Amu quickly pulls them open to see nothing but steam. She turns off the water and quickly turns around before bumping into her mother.
Amu who was freaked out,was now getting her breathing back to normal. "I'm sorry did I scare you?" asks Midori.
"I'm sorry" says Midori again. "No..I thought..never mind" says Amu walking out of the bathroom. "What's with the steam? Are you taking a shower?" asks Midori.
"No" answers Amu. "I have to go to Tokyo,tomorrow afternoon. I'll be gone for a few days" says Midori.
"Will you be okay here...with Ami?" Midori asks choosing her words carefully. "Sure" says Amu nodding her head.
"I know it was always easier to talk to your father,but you know you can talk to me now" says Midori.
"You already think I'm losing it" says Amu crossing her arms. "You don't believe that I saw dad the night of the accident or that he spoke to me right?" says Amu.
"I believe that you believe it" says Midori. "Well it happened,he was there and then he wasn't" says Amu.
"Ok what's going on with you now?" asks Midori. Amu sighs before answering. "I saw someone...a girl..and she looked just like me" explains Amu.
"A girl? W-who looks like you?" asks Midori. "Just like me" says Amu nodding her head.
"You saw her where?" asks Midori interested. "It's hard to explain" answers Amu. "I don't understand..did this girl try to contact you?" asks Midori worried.
"Do you know something?" Amu asks confused at her mother's reaction. "No,no,no..I don't know who or what you've been seeing..but you've been under a lot of stress lately and the mind can play tricks" says Midori standing up.
"That's what Utau said" says Amu looking skeptically at her mother. "Well she's right" says Midori nodding her head.
"I wouldn't worry" says Midori before walking off. "Have fun in Tokyo" says Amu sarcastically. After her mom leaves the water in the bathroom turns back on.
Amu walks back into the bathroom to investigate. She opens the shower curtains and turns off the water again. When she turns around to see "Sister" written on her foggy mirror. She wipes it away to see herself.
"Help me" her reflection says. Amu's eyes widen in shock as she moves closer to the mirror. Her reflection speaks again. "Help me Amu" the reflection says. "Help me" she keeps repeating. The reflection in the mirror was glitching and faded away.
xXxXx
The next morning Midori was sitting down at the kitchen table waiting for Amu to come downstairs.
Amu finally came down and saw that her mom had a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Amu asks. "Um Amu come here sit down" says Midori. "Uh there's something I need to tell you" says Midori.
"Your father and I..we wanted to wait in till we found the right time to tell you" says Midori with a sigh.
"What's up?" asks Amu sitting down.
"Amu...we're not your real parents..you're adopted" says Midori. "What?" says Amu shocked.
"There's more..." says Midori. "How could there possibly be more?" asks Amu.
"You have an identical twin" says Midori...
