Yuki- Well, here's my new story as promised. I'm glad that I started on writing this, but I'm not sure on how many reviews I'll get, seeing as how there are other stories with the same gist. But I'm going to try my best for you guys.

Enjoy.

I don't own Shugo Chara! in any way.
I also don't know any songs used in these chapters.
The only thing I own is the story and the name of the band.

Ikuto-16 - Kukai-16

Utau-15 - Yaya-14

Rima-15 - Nagihiko-16

Tadase-15 - Kairi-15

Nadeshiko-15 - Rikka-14

Amu-15

~*Moon Dexterity*~

orenji ni te ga todoku you ni te o nobashi ta no
oshie te yo? kono omoi ha todoku no?

And that was Moon Dexterity playing, '17'. Thank you for listening to TOKYO BREAK radio!

"Oh, their new single is so awesome!" Utau squealed. Her friend Yaya squealed along with her. "I know! Their songs are so down to earth and relaxing! It's so hard to believe that they're around the same age as us!"

Ikuto cringed as he tried his best to keep his eyes on the road. It was so annoying to hear about this 'Moon Dexterity' every single minute of the day. Well, to him anyway. It was even worse, considering that he was the person driving them to school everyday. Every. Single. Day. The whole way there, Utau, Ikuto's little sister, would annoy him to put in they're CD and put it on repeat. And she new all the words along with her friend Yaya. It was so annoying. He hates that band with a passion for it. The only refuge he had was at his friend Tadase's house. That's a place where he can go without hearing anything about that wretched band.

It wasn't that they sounded bad, because they didn't. But it was because everyone was drooling over them. It was so agitating. It was always about 'Moon Dexterity'. Or MD for short. He couldn't take it.

When they finally arrived to school, Utau spotted Rima. Her face brightened up as she dashed out of the car. "Rima!" she exclaimed. Rima turned to her and her face lightened up as well. Yaya was right behind Utau, running along with her. They finally caught up to Rima, and panted, out of breath. Rima smiled at the two girls before her.

"Did you see MD's concert on T.V last night?" she asked. Utau and Yaya had stars for eyes. "Of course we did!" they squealed. Then the girls went at it. Ikuto rolled his eyes as he desperately tried to find Tadase and Kairi. They were brothers so of course they're together. They're the only two he really talks to, since other guys are too jealous, and girls always fall all over him. But to no avail, he saw no sign of them.

Thus, he was forced to walk with Utau and her squealing friends. Oh how he loathed MD...

• † • † •

It was now lunch, and that was the time of the day that Ikuto hated the most. This is where ALL of Utau's friends (which is most of the school) talk about the band. It's been like this ever since they debuted. It was a pain in the ass to him.

"Oh, my favorite is the drummer, Kukai! He's so hot!" Utau exclaimed to her girlfriends. Rima had stars for eyes. "I adore the lead guitarist! Nagihiko is so awesome. He's also a back up vocalist." she said matter-of-fact. Ikuto put his hands on his head. Everyone was talking about they're favorite band member.

Saaya likes Nadeshiko, a lead guitarist, a back up vocalist, and a bass player. Manami likes Kukai, the drummer. Wakana likes Nagihiko, the rhythm guitarist and back up vocalist. After they were done talking about them, Yaya and Rikka being the bold people they were, elevated themselves on top of the table.

"But then there is the lead vocalist. The most beautiful singer in the world. She's smart, talented, and nice too!" With that statement, all the girls and guys looked at each other. They all said simultaneously,

"Hinamori Amu!"

"She can sing, and play guitar at the same time!" Yua exclaimed.

"She's so hot." one of the guys retorted.

"I wanna meet her!" Rikka yelled.

Ikuto sunk down in his chair as he took a bite out of his cookie. Here they go again.

Damn Moon Dexterity.

• † • † •

"Hinamori! It's time for practice!" a lively auburn haired teen shouted from outside a bedroom. He earned a growl in response. The auburn haired teen named Kukai, knocked on the door again. "Come on! You're gonna be late!"

Since he didn't get an answer that time, he walked inside the room. There, he saw a certain pink haired girl under the covers of her black silk bed. He rolled his emerald eyes as he removed the covers off of her. She was curled up in a little ball with a very angry expression on her face. Kukai chuckled. "Come on, we gotta get goin'." The pink haired girl, known as Amu sat up slowly. She yawned widely before glaring at the clock.

"I still have three hours." she growled. Kukai's grin grew. "Don't you think I know that? You still have to eat and get dressed." he said brushing her hair with his fingers wildly. Amu grimaced, as she lazily stood up. She was wearing black boxer shorts, and a white tank top. Kukai raised an eyebrow.

"You do know that they give us stuff like silk pajamas, right?" he asked. Amu made a disgusted face. "I don't care if the night clothes are made of gold. This is my style and I'm sticking to it." she declared. Kukai formed a proud smile. "You're such a guy sometimes. I wonder how you can sing such girly songs." Amu chuckled. "Yeah, yeah." then she frowned as she looked out of her glass wall she called a window.

"I don't see why they're making us work so hard. We sound fine. All we do is practice, practice, practice. And I'm the one that does the most work." she complained. Kukai made an understanding smile.

"Well, you're a singing sensation. Our songs have made it to the top five most played list, three times in a row. You're also starring in an upcoming movie. Of course you're working hard." he explained. Amu rolled her eyes.

"But I don't start on the movie for another four months. I need a break." she sighed as she sat down on her bed. Sure, being a professional singer was great, but it was hard work, and she hasn't had a break since they debuted. It wasn't that long ago, but it was tiring.

Kukai smiled at her. He was used to her complaining about this. "Come on, Nagihiko made some breakfast, and Nadeshiko helped him out. So you know it's going to be a great meal."

Amu looked at his cheesy smile. He was always there to make her feel better when she was down. Always. He was like an older brother to her. It was nice. "Alright." she answered as she stood up to follow.

• † • † •

"What's on the menu chef Fujisaki?" Kukai asked referring to both the twins. Nadeshiko giggled along with Nagihiko's chuckle. "French toast with scrambled eggs, and bacon." they answered in unison. Amu stretched in her chair. "Ugh, I'm so tired." she said followed by a yawn. Nagihiko smiled.

"Well of course. We had five encores last night." he claimed. Kukai punched the air. "It was awesome! I didn't think I could beat on the drums for so long!" he said excitedly. Amu glared at him. "It's way too early for this. Ever since we started living together, it's been louder." she complained. Kukai nudged her. "But fun, right?" he asked. Amu couldn't help but smile along with him. "Yeah I guess." she said taking a sip from her orange juice.

"MD!"

That shout made Amu spit it out. She glared at who ever was yelling this early in the morning. But it was their manager, Nikaidou Yuu. Kukai smiled as he walked over to him. "What's on the schedule for today, Nikaidou?" he asked excitedly. Yuu sat down next to Amu and took a piece of toast.

"After you practice, you have a photo shoot for KYOTO TIMES. Then after that-"

"Ugh, enough." Amu grouched. "One at a time Nikaidou. I only have one body."

Nikaidou sweat dropped. "She hasn't had her coffee yet, has she?" she asked. Nagihiko nodded. "I'm brewing it right now." he answered grabbing some coffee cups out of the cabinet. Even though Amu was only fifteen, she still wanted a hot cup of joe. Nikaidou coughed a little before continuing.

"Then after that, you're performing at Tokyo Stadium."

Kukai looked at Nikaidou in shock. "Tokyo Stadium? Really?" he provoked. "That's awesome! That's huge! I can't wait!" he exclaimed. Nikaidou sighed. He knew that Kukai would be overly excited.

"Well you have to work hard on this performance, guys." he explained. Amu rolled her eyes before taking the hot cup of coffee from Nagihiko. "Remember, it's Tokyo Stadium. The owner is Aruto Tsukiyomi. He owns many businesses." he explained. Amu once again rolled her eyes.

"Why should we care?" she retorted. Nikaidou sighed again before he answered. "Because he owns the movie that you'll be starring in."

Amu wasn't affected by that statement. She didn't really care for the movie. Yeah, she was an amazing actress, but she would rather be singing. She shrugged. "I don't really care. I'll go, but only because I get to sing. That's all that matters."

Her band mates looked at her understandingly. Amu didn't want to be famous. But she doesn't mind either. As long as she gets to do the one thing she loves, it was alright. She just got famous because of Nikaidou. He found her singing at his friends daughters birthday party, then bam. Instant fame. Amu didn't really care. But that was until she found out how much work she had to do.

But in the end, she got used to it... Sorta.

"So after the photo shoot, we're going straight to the stadium. No 'if's' 'and's' or 'but's'. You got it?" he asked the band. They nodded. Nikaidou smiled as he took another piece of toast and headed to the door.

"Practice hard!" and with that, he was gone. Nadeshiko looked at the others. "Well, after we eat, shall we go to the basement studio to practice?" she asked. The others nodded.

• † • † •

Ikuto was in class when a sudden announcement was heard in the speakers.

"Utau and Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Come to the principle's office immediately after sixth period. That is all."

Ikuto found that sort of 'out of play'. His father, who was the principle, never really called out for them. It wasn't his thing. Whatever it was it had to be important.

Once the bell rang, it was time to go to fourth period. He sighed as he walked up the halls. Almost every open locker, he saw a poster of Moon Dexterity. Not only that, it was the same poster. Probably from their new album.

It was basically the lead singer sitting on top of a school desk with her legs crossed. Behind her was the rest of the band. The guitarist/back up vocalist was on her right, holding a guitar in his hand. On her left was his twin, holding a bass. Directly behind her was the drummer. He had an excited look on his face as he held up his drumsticks forming an 'X'.

He rolled his eyes as he continued. In the distance he saw Tadase at his locker. Kairi was behind him. Ikuto grimaced as he walked over to them.

"Where have you guys been?" he growled. "I had to deal with those crazy MD fans all day."

Kairi and Tadase looked at each other. "Well, first of all, we had a doctors appointment." Tadase stated.

"And second of all, MD is not at all abominable." Kairi finished. They both held up MD's newest album. Ikuto looked at it with horror. "You're turning into one of them." he said horrified. Tadase and Kairi rolled their eyes.

"Ikuto, we're not turning into 'one of them'." Tadase said using air quotes. Kairi nodded. "They're music is really astounding. It really engulfs you inside." Ikuto couldn't believe what he was hearing. He hasn't really listened to any of their music, even when Utau replayed the stupid album over and over. He would usually block it out. He didn't care for it. And he didn't plan to. He looked at his two friends. They weren't the type to freak out over the band. If they only listened to it, then that was okay. Ikuto rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. As long as you guys don't turn into one of those freakish people, then I'm okay with it." he declared. They nodded as they walked to their fourth period together.

• † • † •

GUBBAI no sono mukou ni kimi ga ita no
HAROO ITTSU MAI FURENDO
kokokara subete hajimaru kara

As Amu sang her little 'yeahs' and 'oohs' the band played their hearts out. Amu was on her acoustic guitar, Nagihiko was on electric, Nadeshiko was on the bass, and singing back up, and Kukai was banging on the drums like he usually was.

Nadeshiko was repeating, HAROO soshite GUBBAI over and over until Amu ended the song with her acoustic guitar. When it was over, everyone panted heavily. Kukai was the first to make a sound.

"That was awesome!"

Everyone else smiled and nodded. "It was pretty good." Nagihiko said. Nadeshiko giggled. "Yes, it was." They all looked at Amu, who was just smiling. She was happy that they finally got their newest song right. Amu wrote it a while ago, but she never really tried to sing it. The band members were satisfied with just that.

Just when they were about to start on another song, Nikaidou walked in. "It's time for the photo shoot!" he exclaimed excitedly. They all raised eyebrows towards him, wondering why he was so excited.

"I just had an extra cup of coffee. Now come on! We're in a hurry! We only have about two and a half hours until we get to the stadium. Then you have to practice there until the concert starts!" he explained shooing everyone towards the door. They all groaned (especially Amu) and walked to the limo waiting for them.

• † • † •

"Beautiful!" the photographer, Suichi exclaimed. Amu kept her emotionless expression as he snapped a few pictures. Amu was known as the down to earth type of girl. The kind that has an attitude, but her songs reach people. Kukai was known as the hyper one. Always smiling no matter what. Even if he was the drummer, he was noticed almost as much as Amu was. Then there was Nagihiko and Nadeshiko. The Fujisaki twins.

They were known to always be nice, and always have a polite smile on their faces. No matter what, they were always together. They never even fought before.

"That's perfect Hinamori-san!" Suichi yelled. Amu rolled her eyes as she put her weight on her left hip. She leaned on an electric guitar and put her right leg behind her left. She had an expression saying that she didn't care about anything, or anybody. But that's part of her image.

Her next photo was her in a turquoise summer dress, sitting in the grass, looking up at the sky. She has a soft expression on her face, with a very serene smile. Her hands were in her lap pointing up towards her. In her hands was a blue rose. Her favorite flower. The photographer asked to take off her necklace because it clashed with the dress, but she refused.

Her necklace was very special to her. She never took it off. It was a lock. A lock that her father gave her, before she left Okinawa. He said that someone out there has the key, and that it matches with her lock. Amu didn't get what he meant, but ever since then, she kept it. And never took it off.

Kukai was next. His solo photo was him in black skinny jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black jacket. The scenery was on a deserted road at night time. The only thing he had to do was jump. And while he was in the air, water would splash below him. So it would be like he was jumping over water.

His second solo photo was a close up. He had to lean on a wall and take his jacket off. The picture would bring out his emerald eyes, and show his flawless skin. It was for his band profile. He had a hard time standing still though.

Nagihiko and Nadeshiko was next. They had to hold one balloon while they were holding hands. So they were holding the same balloon. The scenery was white with colorful balloons on the floor.

The next picture was another close up. They each had to hold a rose. One white, and the other red. They were back to back and the background was a meadow with roses of different colors everywhere. They enjoyed every minute of it.

• † • † •

It was now after sixth period, and Ikuto and Utau walked to the front office, while everyone else walked home. "Do you know why dad wanted us?" Utau asked her older brother. Ikuto replied by shrugging. But he was curious too. When he knocked on the door, he heard a husky, "Come in."

He rolled his eyes as him and Utau walked in. "What do you need daddy?" she asked as she sat in the chair in front of the desk. Aruto gave Ikuto a look saying to sit next to his sister, which he did.

"Ikuto, I have a request." he said sternly. Ikuto nodded. "I want you to take Utau to this... concert. I heard that this band is pretty popular, and since I can't take her myself, I need you to."

Ikuto saw Utau roll her eyes. Her father never had the best taste in music. So Utau wasn't exactly excited. Plus it was probably at Tokyo Stadium. Their dad owned that place, so of course he would get her tickets there. It's probably some old folk group from the late... old people times. Ikuto saw her expression, and smirked.

"Sure thing, dad. I would love to take her." he said glinting at her. Utau grumbled. Her brother just loved to torture her.

• † • † •

"I hate you, Ikuto. You know that?" Utau grumbled as they drove to the stadium. The concert was starting in about fifteen minutes. Ikuto chuckled. Utau huffed.

"What really pisses me off, is that you forced me to bring Yaya and the others!" she complained. Yaya grumbled along with Rima. "Your brother's hot and everything, but he's torturing us right now." Rikka grumbled. Ikuto chuckled again as he listened to the girls complain.

"Let's just say that this is a form of payback."

There was a mild silence before,

"WHAT?"

"Yup. You guys are always going on and on about Moon Dexterity. You need to chill with that." he explained. He smiled as he saw the stadium. "We're here." he announced as the girls groaned in agony.

When they all walked into the stadium, it was packed with screaming teens, and some adults. Ikuto was actually surprised on how many people actually showed up. Utau and the others looked in awe.

"I'm surprised that so many people showed up," Utau whispered to her brother. Ikuto shrugged as he looked at his wrist. He noticed that there was a smudge on his bracelet, so he wiped it off. His lips curled up into a smile as he looked at it. It was charm bracelet, but with only one charm. It was a key. His mother gave it to him a couple of years ago. She said that he would find the person with the matching lock someday. He had no idea what she meant, but he knows that he'll find out sooner or later.

He looked over at Utau and saw clear shock on her face. He looked at her questioned. He looked throughout the crowd. All their mouths were gaping open towards the stage. Ikuto looked back at Utau. "What's wrong with you?"

Utau pointed to the stage. "M-M-Mo-Momo-"

"Spit it out."

Utau's face turned red. "MOON DEXTERITY!" she yelled as the whole stadium cheered as hard as they could. Ikuto looked up at the stage to see four teens around the same age as them.

They were the same people on the posters. On the albums. On the radio. On T.V. Everywhere he looked. It was Moon Dexterity. He glared at each and every one of them. What's so great about them? Why do people fawn over them? He looked at the drummer. His auburn hair, and his emerald eyes were gleaming as he winked at every girl. He looked like he had tourettes.

He then, looked at the twins. They were smiling and waving at everyone. They must think they're so cool, because they're in a famous band. So what? They're people.

Finally he looked at the lead singer. The one and only Hinamori Amu. He found himself staring at her longer than the others. She looked like she didn't want to be there. Like she would rather be at a soup kitchen. She looked annoyed, and tired. But it didn't really show, so nobody noticed. Except Ikuto. He found himself slightly interested.

"What the hell?" he said. This was supposed to be a lame folk group concert! Not an MD fest! Ikuto let out a small 'tch' as he brushed past Utau and her other fan girls, and walked straight outside to wait until the concert was over.

Oh, how he loathed Moon Dexterity.

"You ready for MD?" The announcer yelled in the mic. The crowd cheered on and on. Kukai put his thumbs up, the twins smiled and Amu just rolled her eyes. Nikaidou motioned them to go to the instruments. Amu brought her acoustic guitar. She only plays with hers. Not anyone else's. "Here we go!" Kukai exclaimed.

Amu put her mouth to the microphone. "This is Candy Kicks." she announced with a smile. Everyone cheered. Utau walked closer to the stage with Yaya, Rima, Yua, Rikka, Wakana, Saaya, and Nanami. They were the ones that were screaming the most.

Play Candy Kicks by Tsuji Shion for better effect, please. :)

First off were the drums and the electric guitar along with the bass. The crowd started to go with the beat and sway. Utau and her friends were clapping.

Baby lose my way? Tokenai mahou ni kakatta mitaini
I lose my way… Derenai meiro ni tachisukumu

As Amu sang the lyrics people started to cheer even more. Ikuto's eyes rolled as he heard the muffled music outside. He was in no mood to listen to this crap. It was torture. Even if he couldn't really hear her singing, he was still annoyed by it.

Dare kare kamawazu Egao muketeru wake jyanai
Dakedo machigainaku Kyou wo kitai shiteiruno
Sorega ikenai koto da nante Omowanaishi Tada... Sunao ni narenai

The bass came in more frequent. As the bridge was moving, so was the crowd. Some people even started to cry. And Ikuto heard the crying. He thought it was pretty stupid. I mean, crying over a song? How lame, and cliche. The music was flowing within everyone, and they liked it. He heard Utau screaming louder than anyone else.

Baby Baby Baby Atashi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu no wa ima datte
Baby Baby Baby Atashi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu no wa music datte
1・2・3 Kazoetara tachi agarou

The chorus started, and everyone just let loose. They started dancing, and singing along with her as she played. Some were screaming their names. Some were crying. Some were reaching out to try to touch them, and others were trying to talk to them and get them to notice them. Ikuto rolled his eyes, as he walked up the street towards the park. He felt like a noob just standing there in the middle of the sidewalk.

Nagihiko and Amu played the guitars together, while Kukai banged on the drums. Nadeshiko was rocking the base as well. The crowd was shouting and screaming and even crying. Even some of the guys were...

Baby you love me? Kikenaikara kono mama de ii
Gucha gucha nano Atamannaka de mawaridashite

He heard the music fade as he walked away from the open stadium. He had absolutely no interest.

Kinou mo kekkyoku Asa made dareka to ita
Dakedo kaiwa ga togireruto naniyori kowai
Sorega ikenaikoto da nante iwanaide Tada... Sabishiidake

Amu loved what she does. She loves singing and she's good at it. What keeps her going were her fans. The way they looked so energetic and carefree, it brought a warm feeling inside her. That's why she agreed to become famous. Because her songs were making people happy.

Baby Baby Baby Kimi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu nano wa jibun datte
Baby Baby Baby Kimi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu nano wa music datte
1・2・3 Kazoetara ugoki dasou

She started on the second chorus, and everyone was getting even more energetic. Amu was happy to see this, so she herself started to move better with the beat. When she's not singing, her face is always blank, and her bad attitude is huge. But when she's lost in a song, all her worries go away, and she can let go.

Nagihiko started on his little guitar solo. Everyone started clapping along as his hair flowed with his motions, and his smile was excited, and full of energy.

Baby lose my way Tokenai mahou ni kakatta mitaini...

This was her dream and she loved it. She wanted to continue it. But all the hard work of fame was overwhelming.

Baby Baby Baby Atashi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu nano wa ima datte
Baby Baby Baby Atashi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu nano wa music datte

Another chorus comes along, and Amu starts to feel the flow. She watches those carefree teens and she feels herself dripping with not only sweat, but with envy. She remembered when she used to be like that, and not had so much work.

She was singing her heart out. She was almost done with her song, and she didn't want it to end.

Baby Baby Baby Kimi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu nano wa jibun datte
Baby Baby Baby Kimi nara shitteru
Baby Baby Baby Taisetsu nano wa music datte
1・2・3 Kazoetara mou daijoubu

This was the last chorus. Amu was starting to feel more envious. She didn't exactly like it, so it got in the way of her expression. Amu was really good at hiding her emotions, so she kept her smile on. But Kukai saw it from behind her. As he watched her, the way she smiled as she sang, sort of pinged him. Like it flipped a switch for only a half a second. For that half second, Kukai felt something was wrong. He didn't know what it was, but he was going to find out.

Baby lose my way Tokenai mahou nanka naino

Amu smiled as everything slowed down. The only thing that was left was her and her guitar. She finished her song with the acoustic.

The crowd cheered. "Thank you for listening." Amu announced as she walked out of the stage. Utau screamed her name as she walked right off stage. The rest of the band followed.

"Come on, Hinamori-san, we have a tight schedule. We need to go to the interview." her manager stated. Amu nodded. "Alright, let me just go to the bathroom." she replied as she walked away. She needed to get away from everything for just a little bit. She grabbed a black hoodie and dashed out the double doors.

Once Amu walked out of the stage area, she was engulfed in a crowd. They caught her. "Amu-sama! Please give me your autograph!"

"Amu-sama, I'm your biggest fan!"

"Can I touch your hair?"

"You smell really nice!"

Amu wasn't really bothered by her fans because, well, she loved them. So she happily signed everyone's pictures of herself, and took a few snap shots. She talked to them, asking how the show was, and if they enjoyed it. She was happy to be around her admirers.

"Thanks for coming everyone. I'm sorry, but I have to go." She said politely, brushing past them. They all had hearts for eyes, as she ran out of the building. But not before she covered her hair and face up with the hoodie.

• † • † •

"Damn, Where'd that annoying brother of mine go?" A blond girl with amethyst eyes said, annoyed. Her friends were behind her, also searching for her blue haired brother. "Utau, why don't you call his cell phone?" Rima suggested. Utau rolled her eyes.

"I already tried that. He has his phone off." she stated matter-of-fact. Yaya pouted. "Ikuto is so... bipolar. You never know what he's thinking, and he just does what he wants. He's good looking, but he's very stubborn, and weird." she huffed. Saaya rolled her eyes. "You have no idea what you're talking about. Ikuto is H-O-T hot." she stated. "But I'm gonna go now. My parents don't want me out too late. See you in school!" And with that, Saaya and the other girls left. It was only Utau, Yaya, and Rima.

Utau rolled her eyes. But before she was about to try to use her cell again, someone pushed the cellular device out of her hands. "Hey, watch where you're goi-!" She was cut short once she saw who it was. The pink hair that was falling out of the black hoodie, the combat boots. Utau's eyes widened as she saw the figure look at her. She could easily tell it was her by her golden eyes.

"Am-!" Amu covered her mouth with her right hand. She put her index fingers over her lips, letting out a "Shh!" She waited until Utau was calmer. When she was finally breathing evenly, Amu moved her hand from her lips. "Are you okay, now?"

Utau responded by nodding rapidly. Yaya and Rima saw what was going on, and squealed. But not loud enough to draw any attention. They knew to keep quiet. Amu sighed of relief. She was safe.

"I'm sorry for surprising you." she apologized as she pushed her hair back under her hoodie. Utau smiled. "It's no problem, Amu-sama!" she squealed. Good thing, it wasn't loud. Amu smiled back. "Please, call me Amu. But I'm kinda in a hurry, so thanks for not exposing me." she said politely as she jogged in a different direction. "See you around, and I hope you enjoyed the show!"

Utau was left in a daze. Yaya and Rima, looked at her, slightly worried. "Utau-chan? Are you okay?" Yaya asked while poking her. "A-Amu-sama talked to me..." Was all that left her lips. Rima rolled her eyes as she grabbed Utau's hand. "Come on, let's wait by the door. Ikuto's probably going to be back soon, and I want to go home."

With that being said, the three girls waited by the stadium entrance. With Utau still in a daze.

• † • † •

Amu ran where ever her legs took her. She didn't really care, as long as she was away from the cruel reality she was living. She just wanted to breathe, even if it was a little bit. She wanted to leave her problems, and never go back. She even felt a little sting in her eyes but wiped it with her sleeve. There was no use in crying. There was no point. Tears were useless because they won't change any situation.

She ran until she ended up at a garden. She stopped in the middle to catch up with her breathe. Her lungs were burning, and her cheeks were flushed. Once she opened her eyes, she smiled at the plants, and the trees. Her smile grew when she saw the fountain. She crossed her arms, like she was hugging herself. But she was actually just a little cold. It felt nice to be around something beautiful, and... real. The absolute beauty of the sparkling fountain mixed with the moon, complimented her golden eyes, making them more radiant.

The stinging in her eyes were returning. She shook her head, and wiped her eyes clean. She scolded herself for even thinking about something as degrading as crying. Tears just take up space in the world, and there's no need for it-

"Excuse me."

Amu turned to see a tall figure standing being her. He was thin, yet lean. He also had azure hair, and sapphire eyes. His face looked concerned, and honest. The shine from the fountain was making his hair shine more than it already was, and his eyes were more than mesmerizing.

She couldn't help but just stare. He was so handsome, and flawless. She's never seen someone looking so perfect. But she tried her best not to show her surprised look.

Ikuto looked at the girl standing before him. She was in only a black hoodie with gray skinny jeans, and black combat boots. The hoodie was covering up her whole head. She was small and petite, but not in a little girlish way. When she turned towards him, he saw her golden eyes, who weren't wasting their time taking his breath away. He's never seen anyone with golden eyes before. They were so beautiful and mesmerizing. She tilted her head, waiting for him to continue. He coughed slightly before hand.

"Yes, um, are you by any chance lost?" his voice was calm with a hint of concern. Amu looked around. The city lights were shining, and the cars were driving by. She knew exactly where she was. Tokyo. She looked back at him, and shook her head slowly. Ikuto looked at her with bewilderment. She was so alchemistic.

"Thanks for worrying though." she said with a smile as she looked at the fountain. "I just," she started, making Ikuto look at her. "Wanted to get away from reality for a bit." she finished in a whisper. He gazed at her. She was so... insoluble. Very calm, and quiet. Amu noticed.

She laughed lightly as she looked at him. He really didn't get what she was trying to do. He had no idea what she meant. But she was so solemn and beautiful. Even if he didn't know her, he felt an attraction. Just her presence was so alarming, and spontaneous. He liked it. When Amu noticed that he was staring, she responded by laughing a little again. Ikuto couldn't help but to smile along with her. He's never been so concerned about a girl before. She didn't say more then fourteen words to him.

Their comfortable silence was interrupted, by rustling from the bushes. "I thought I saw her go this way."

"Where could she be? She has a tight schedule!"

They heard strained voices, of frustrated men running around. "She's so rebellious. That's so expected of her."

Amu looked around frantically. They found her. And she thought that she had so much time. She wanted to stay, and talk to this interesting boy. He was so quiet and calm. Nothing like the usual guys that she's always trying to avoid. She saw that Ikuto noticed the voices and rustling.

"I guess it's time for me to go." she said with a sigh. She sounded disappointed and sad. Ikuto looked at her with his own sad expression. He wanted to get to know this girl, and talk to her. He was so drawn to her. He watched as she started to walk off, only to have Ikuto grab her wrist. The sudden gesture made Amu look back at him with alarm. Both of their eyes widened when their own orbs collided with each other. Gold met sapphire. Once he noticed what he had done, he let her go instantly.

"I'm sorry."

Amu could only smile at him. "It's okay," she said before looking around for her bodyguards. "Can you tell me your name?"

He looked at her questionably, but answered anyway. "Ikuto." he replied. Amu smiled before she moved a little closer to him. "Well it was nice meeting you," she started before going on her tip toes, and moved her lips towards his. Ikuto's eyes widened as her lips collided with his. Her lips felt so soft, and she felt just right in his arms. But once he was fully into the kiss, she pulled away. "Ikuto."

With that, she turned on her heel, and ran into the night. Ikuto stretched his hand out, as he saw her small figure disappear.

What a mysterious girl...

"Amu-chan, what's wrong? You've been stuck in a daze ever since we left." Nagihiko said. Amu didn't respond. After everything was over, the band went back to their mansion. Kukai watched Amu too. He was highly worried about her.

"Hinamori, what's going on with you?" he asked. Amu shrugged as she walked up the stairs to her room.

When she made it inside, she collapsed on her bed. She was exhausted. She rolled on her back, and looked up at the ceiling. There was a lot of thinking to do.

She thought of that blue haired boy, named Ikuto. He was so mysterious, and quiet. But also very beautiful and alluring. He seemed so nice, and concerned. He was exactly the kind of guy she's been looking for. Unfortunately, she was never going to see him again. She felt a pain inside her as she brought her legs to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her body, hugging herself. She really liked him... If she would have never snuck out, she would of never met him.

But if she was an ordinary girl, she could of stayed with him.

When they were at that stadium, Amu had such a nostalgic feeling. She never noticed how much she missed being a normal girl. To hang out with regular people. To be normal. An ordinary girl. To be treated as just a person, not a celebrity. She wants to be able to eat what she wants. Do what she wants. Not be watched. Just be... completely normal.

She thought about Seiyo. The school that she was supposed to be going to after middle school. The place where her old friends were. But her so-called friends didn't remember her as 'Amu the normal girl'. They know her as 'Amu, the rock star'. It wasn't pleasant. But all the people would seem like people that you could get along with.

"Seiyo Academy..."

"Yo Hinamori! I brought something to eat!" Kukai exclaimed as he waltzed in her room. Amu grew a vain on her head. "Have you ever heard of knocking?" she grumbled. Kukai chuckled as he sat on the bed.

"You weren't yourself today. What's up with you?" he asked as he gave Amu a plate. She took it with an blank smile. She looked at her plate like it was empty.

Suddenly, she had a crazy idea. Something that could solve her problems, and she could still keep her identity. An idea that would help her get in touch with her inner personality. She looked at Kukai with a serious expression. Kukai flinched in return. He didn't like that face of hers. Then, Amu smiled. That also wasn't a good thing. Kukai looked at her suspiciously.

"You're thinking of something." Amu nodded. Kukai felt chills down his spine as Amu said these next four words.

"We're going to school."

Yuki- Wow. That was longer than I was expecting. I just thought that this would be like a 2,000 word chapter like normal, but instead it was 7,793. That's a lot yo.

Anyway, I hope you liked it. If not, I could delete it.

Oh, and as you can see, I changed my writing style. Can you tell the difference?

TELL MEH ZE DIFFERENCE!

Here are the English lyrics to the song Amu was singing!

Baby lose my way? As it hung to the magic that cannot be solved
I lose my way … It petrifies in the maze that cannot go out.

Because it withers whom, it doesn't take care, and smile is not turned
However, today is surely expected.
Do not think and nothing but … It is not possible to become obedient.

Baby Baby Baby, if it is me, it knows.
Baby Baby Baby, the one is still important
Baby Baby Baby, if it is me, it knows
Baby Baby Baby, even music is the important one
When 1･2･3 is counted, I will stand up.

Baby you love me? Because it is not possible to hear it, it is good as it is.
It begins to turn head round the soppy one

After all, it was with someone until the morning yesterday.
However, when the conversation becomes interrupted, it is scarier than anything
Nothing but without saying … It is only lonely.

Baby Baby Baby, If it is you, it knows
Baby Baby Baby, Even I am the important one.
Baby Baby Baby, If it is you, it knows
Baby Baby Baby, Even music is the important one
It begins to move when 1･2･3 is counted.

Baby lose my way, As it hung to the magic that cannot be solved …

Baby Baby Baby, if it is me, it knows.
Baby Baby Baby, the one is still important
Baby Baby Baby, if it is me, it knows
Baby Baby Baby, even music is the important one

When 1･2･3 is counted, it is already safe.

Baby lose my way, There is no magic that cannot be solved.
