Neko-chan: Yo, from now on I will be referred to as Yume. Yume is my character in this story, her full name is Yume Shinko. Lucy also has her own character in this story, her name is Natsuki Yukimura (It used to be Liana Williams, but she changed it when she moved from England to Japan). As for who Alden is, well he is Natsuki's older brother. So I will now continue with the story, but at the end my name will be Yume so don't be confused as to who she is. So Ikuto-kun would you mind doing the disclaimer, please?
Ikuto: Well that was a long explanation. Anyways, kawaineko-chan9 and Tagicheartbreak don't own anything except the plot of this story.
Yume: What do you mean the explanation was long?
Ikuto: WOW. WHAT THE HECK? HOW COME YOUR HAIR IS PURPLE AND YOUR RIGHT EYE IS RED? AND WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT FRINGE COVERING YOUR LEFT EYE?
Yume: DON'T SHOUT YOU BAKA. And, this is how my character looks like. Oh and you will learn about the fringe later on in the story.
[Normal POV]
One sleepless night Yume Shinko, a purple haired girl with her fringe covering one eye and the other one was revealed to be blood red and a usually emotionless face, stood in front of the large window in her room. She lived together with a pink-haired girl who had a similar fate as her, though much more harsh than hers. The two misfortunate girls lived in a big mansion, but were not allowed to exit very much. In fact only Yume was allowed to leave the house and only when she really needed to.
This night many strange things happened in the purple haired girl's heart, that she didn't know she had.
When she was at school she would constantly be called "Ice Queen", "Heart of steel", "The Heartless Beauty", "Emotionless Doll", some even called her "The Heartless Heartbreaker". All of this was simply annoying to her and she would sometimes skip a day just to calm herself down in order not to snap at school and become her usual aggressive nature. She wouldn't want more pesky nicknames.
Now, however she was sure she had one, because it was beating very fast against her ribcage.
She felt somewhat annoyed and confuzzled. (A.N.: confused + puzzled=confuzzled)
This had been going on since this afternoon when she was walking around town.
*Flashback*
[Yume POV]
I was walking around town. Well I wasn't actually just going around town, I was doing some important chores. I am often sent to go shopping for some stuff needed at the houseā¦er I mean mansion. I was heading home, but my legs were tired so I decided to take a shortcut.
I am usually very lucky so I didn't expect what was about to happen.
"Hey girly, what 'cha doin'?" a male voice called from behind me. I turned my head around and saw 5 teenage boys walking towards me. All of them had a smug look on their faces as if they found gold.
"Nothing, going home from a long day." I replied in a monotone voice covered in ice. I saw one of them shiver from my peripheral vision as I turned around and started to walk away. But unfortunately one of them grabbed my wrist and pulled me back resulting in me loosing my balance and dropping the bags I was carrying. He then pulled me to his chest and held my hands tight. The others surrounded us and some of them were chuckling with evil grins plastered on their facial features.
"What are you going to do to me?" I asked seeming incredulously calm for my situation.
"Acting innocent, are we? Well if you want to know then I'll tell you sweetheart. We intend to have some fun with you. And I mean the sexual kind of fun." He says. I, however, am not even flinching nor giving any reaction whatsoever. I just stare at them with a blank expression.
This frightens one of the guys who has blond hair and he whispers something into the other's ear. Well I can't blame him from being scared. I usually get frightened from my own reflection in the mirror sometimes. The reason, my right eye is a color of blood red and is dull so it kind of seems like one of a murderer. The other one is kept hidden, because it is even more terrible than my right one.
One of the guys approaches me and I recognize him as the one who the frightened blond talked to. He then lifts his hand to my face.
"Why do you hide your left eye?" he asks then he removes my fringe from my face and puts it behind my ear, but I close my eye before it makes contact with any of the guys.
You see when I was little I had this terrible experience where I was found wandering alone in the woods by a man who seemed very kind, but I later found out he wasn't.
*Flashback*
/9 years ago/
[10 year old Yume POV]
I was wandering in the woods after my family was brutally murdered in front of my eyes. My mother told me to hide in the wardrobe and wait until everything calms down and then I could go out. She told me not to make any noise so as to not alert the murderer that there was another person in the house except for her and Daddy. I did as told and didn't make a sound.
I wanted to scream and tell the killer to stop, but I didn't. I did what my mother told me in order to survive and she said that she and Daddy would be always in my heart. After it got dark and everything was silent I escaped from my hiding spot and slowly went to my mother's corpse and let quiet sobs escape my mouth as I felt tears streaming uncontrollably down my face.
I then escaped the house and here I am wandering in the woods wondering if me being silent was for the best or for the worst. Of course at the mere age of 10 years I wanted to live my life and have a wonderful family like my own though I would definitely skip the part with the murder.
I was walking aimlessly with tears streaming down my face.
Suddenly there was a figure, a blurry one, but soon it became more clear. I realized that it was a man. He had unusual turquoise hair, but what caught my eyes wasn't that, it was his eyes. One of them was blue and the other one was emerald green.
"Hello, little Miss. Why are you crying in the middle of the woods where no one should wander off?" he asked as he handed me a tissue. I took it and tried to wipe my tears away, but it didn't work they just kept steaming down like waterfalls on my face.
"My-my p-parent w-were *hic* k-killed *hic*. I-I d-don't *hic* k-know w-where *hic* t-to g-go *hic*." I said my voice hoarse and shaky.
"Oh my, poor thing." He says while giving me a hug. "Come with me I will give you a place to stay at and I will take you under my care. I love children even though I don't have any myself." He says as he picks me up when I nod my head as agreement to his offer.
After a few days, though I awoke in a dark room and not in the one I was usually put to sleep. I was tied to a bed or something similar to one. Then inside the room came Ichirou.
"Ichirou-san, what is going on?" I ask whilst struggling to get out of the bed.
"Don't worry Princess this will only hurt a bit." He says and I see a needle in one of his hands.
"Ichirou-san, what is that?" I ask now completely frightened.
"It's a serum that will make you just like me, a mind-reader." He says and I widen my eyes.
'A mind reader? That's ridiculous. How can someone read minds?' I ask myself in my mind.
"It is not ridiculous and I am one. You saw that my eyes were a different color right? Well with the green one I can read the minds of people and even find their greatest fears." He says and I widen my eyes even more if possible.
'He answered my question. Wait he knows my greatest fear?' I ask myself in my mind again.
"Oh, yes I certainly do my Princess. Now, this will hurt a bit at the beginning, but after a certain amount of time when the serum has spread throughout your whole body you will not feel anything different except for your left eye." He says and I am yet again brought back to reality.
He inserts the needle in my arm and once the serum entered my veins I let out a scream that even I didn't know I could manage.
After a good 30 minutes of screaming from hurt that ran through my entire body, I felt relief as I panted as the pain subsided.
From all the screaming I was left with no voice for the remnant of the day. And even though Ichirou asked me question I couldn't answer, though I'm sure he read it all in my mind. Because every time he would ask me a question he would look at me for a while then write something down on the notebook he was holding.
After a short amount of time I passed out.
The next time I woke up in my room, but I knew I didn't just have a nightmare, because now instead of being blood red, my left eye was an emerald green color.
I had a compact mirror next to my bed so I took it to make sure that I was just dreaming, but the mirror told me the opposite.
I had some trouble standing up. Then as I wobbled to get to the bathroom I heard footsteps and as soon as I took my attention off my wobbly feet I ended up losing my balance and I closed my eyes as I waited for the impact to hit me, but it never did. I allowed myself to look at what stopped me from falling and saw Ichirou-san holding me up and steadying my body to a still position.
But as soon as he let go of me my feet started to wobble and I once again found myself off balance. Though this time I accidentally grabbed onto Ichirou-san's shirt and surprisingly fell towards him and in the process toppling him over. All the way flailing my arms and making noises like 'awawa' and 'eep'.
Then we hit the floor with a thump.
"S-sorry, I-Ichirou-san." I said as I tried to pull myself up and off of him.
I heard him sigh, and then I felt an arm on my head that ruffled my hair, something that I really hate. The he chuckled.
'I guess he read my mind again.'
"It's fine. You will be a bit wobbly the first couple of days so you will need to support yourself with the walls or call up to me when you need to go somewhere."
"I thought you wouldn't care about a mere experiment." I said even though very grateful for his kindness.
"Nonsense. You are not an experiment. You are a person who is destined to be the same as myself. A true person who will not use such powers for his own desires." He says.
"Even though you use them for your own desires." I said back.
"Hehe, you're very smart Princess. But I use my powers only when needed I assure you." He says.
"How can I believe you after you did this against my will?" I asked and he frowned a bit, but then smiled.
"You don't have to believe me. I will let you leave after you've gain your strength back, but you are always welcome to stay here." He says.
"Right. So now can you help me get up? I kind of feel awkward since we are still on the floor." 'With me toppling you over.' I think and he starts laughing. 'I should stop talking in my mind.'
"Yes, yes you should." He says still laughing. I blush with embarrassment.
"S-stop it. I feel bad when you laugh at me. AND STOP READING MY MIND!" I say normally, but then shout at him.
"Okay, okay Princess. Come on I will prepare breakfast for you." He says as he stands up and helps me up as well.
*End of flashback*
"That is none of your concern." I say in a cold manner.
"Well at least show us your other eye. It is very disrespectful." Says one of the other guys.
"What you are doing is disrespectful." I say in the same cold manner as before.
"She's a fighter that's for sure." Says one of the guys who has red hair.
"Just let me go." I say with a demanding voice, but not a high pitched one.
The guy who is holding me starts to laugh hysterically and the one with red hair does the same.
"That ain't happening, girly." Says the one behind me then suddenly I hear a shout followed by another one.
"HEY LET HER GO!" I hear a female voice say.
"WAIT, NATSUKI." Says a male voice.
Then in a short amount of time the owners of the voices knock down the teenagers that were about to rape me. I am glad I could distract them enough for someone to notice I was here.
I don't know why, but surprisingly I feel a pull towards the girl from the pair. It's something similar to the feeling I got when I first met Amu.
"Thank you very much for saving me." I say politely as I bow down in front of the pair.
"It's fine. I'm glad you're okay." Says the girl as she came up to me and hugged me. This surprises me a bit, but I hug her back somehow sensing that she wouldn't let me go until I hug back.
"Excuse for my sister's behavior." The boy says with a bit of an English accent.
"It is alright. I don't mind." I reply in English.
"You speak very fluent English if I might say." The male answers also in English.
"Thank you very much." I say with a smile.
*End of Flashback*
"Yume, why aren't you asleep?" asks Amu.
"I can't. I'm having nightmares again." I say and she nods.
"Anyways, you go and get some sleep it's already midnight." I continue as I push her out of my room and into hers.
