chapter 1

: flashback:

"ran don't you think your going a bit to fast" Amu yelled over the sound of the radio. they were on their way home from a party. Amu, and her best friends Ran Miki and Suu. Ran Miki and Suu already had their license so it was up to them to drive. but all three of them were drunk. Amu tightened her seat belt and hung onto the door handle as Ran sped around a hairpin turn. she noticed that the other three didn't have their seat belts on. that's when it happened. a truck was coming around the corner and Ran was on the wrong side of the road. Amu screamed as the car colided with the truck. then everything went black

:end flashback:

Amu's pov

Sat up, as usual my face was expressionless. I got up showered and got dressed all on auto pilot. I walked down the stairs and out the door and headed for school. just as i did every day. i walked into the school and into my class room an hour early. i hadn't talked in over a year, after a while people just started ignoring me. i became an outcast. i wondered if i would ever find some one who could see through the mask. some one who could save me from myself. i sighed knowing that nobody would ever be able to save me. i was all alone in the world. first i had lost my three best friends then my family had died on their way home from a concert in Kyoto. a concert that i should have gone to. but i had been selfish and refused to go. if i had i wouldnt be feeling the pain i did now. the teacher walked in and looked at me.

"early as usual hinamori-San" he said as he set his brief case on the deck. i just took out my mp3 player and turned it on blocking him out. the song was never to late by three days grace (i do not own). i closed my eyes and waited for the bell to ring.

"hinamori-San please take out your head phones" the teacher said. The other student looked around wondering who hinamori-San was. i just pulled out my headphones and put them away. there was a new student standing at the front of the class. He had midnight blue hair and dark blue eyes. All the girls stared at him in awe. i looked at the front of the room and uncaring expression on my face. the boy looked from face to face and his eyes rested on mine. for a moment he seemed to notice something but then he looked away. i just looked down. This boy couldn't be the one who was going to save me. but what if he was. no, shook the thought from my head i wouldnt get my hopes up.

ikuto's pov

i looked around the room to see what the students looked like. it was pretty normal girls were excited guys were annoyed but one girl looked past me staring at nothing to normal people it would seem she just didn't care. but it seemed that she was extremely sad. i wondered why. The teacher was motioning for me to sit in one seat but i walked across the room and sat in the empty chair next to her. she didn't seem to notice it seemed like she was empty on the inside. "why so depressed" i whispered as the teacher resumed teaching. the girl didnt seem to notice. Then i noticed the headphones in her ears. maybe she seemed interested because she hadn't realized there was a new student.

"hey done ignoring me" i whispered into her ear when the bell rang. holding her head phone in my hand. she looked at me suprised then took the headphone back and put it in. she gathered up her stuff and walked out of the room. i smirked this was going to be fun.

Amu's pov

i walked into my house. skipping school which was nothing new. there wasn't much reason for me to go since i didn't actually do any work. but today i had been surprised some one had noticed her talked to her. and it was the new boy. his words still rang in my ears "why so depressed" how had he noticed i was sure i had made sure that my face showed that i didnt care. as i closed the door i called out "i'm home!" my words echoed through out the empty house . "oh Amu-Chan welcome home was today a holiday?" i nodded at nothing.

"yeah whats for dinner mama?" i asked. mama smiled "well i was hoping you could cook tonight. Oh yeah your friends are here... how about you and Suu cook something" i smiled.

"yeah Suu is a really good cook I'm sure Miki and Ran will want to help too" i ran upstairs i wondered why people said they were dead they were all here with me but only sometimes other times i was all alone. "Ran Miki Suu! what have i said about coming over when i am not home" i said as i jumped on the bed "sorry Amu-Chan but we tried to call you before we came desu" Suu said eating a cookie. "yeah sure guys hey miki what are you drawing" i said as i picked up the dusty sketch book. wait dusty!? everything came back to me. they were dead and i was all alone. i opened Miki's sketch book to the first page. a picture of the four of us was taped to it. my dad had taken it and mom could be seen talking on the phone in the back ground. we were watching Ami sing. my eyes flooded with tears.

"do you always talk to your self?" said a masculine voice from the window. i looked over surprised to see the new student sitting there. i shook my head slowly. he smirked it was strange my heart felt heavy just looking at him. he jumped into the room and sat on the edge of my bed. "whats wrong little kitten" he was practically purring "cat got your tongue" he asked smirking again. for once i felt i couldn't talk not that i didn't want to. it was that i couldn't. my face felt hot and i looked away. "so you talk to invisible people not real people" a grin spread across his face. "or could it be that the people aren't invisible but dead. maybe your going crazy seeing dead people" my eyes widened and i stared at him. my mask slipping for a moment before i was able to correct myself. "so i was right wasn't i. you lost alot of people important to you" he said as he laid back on my bed. i looked out the window bored.

"you put up a mask to hide who you are" i stared at him the shock apparent on my face. i didn't even try to hid my emotions this time
