Happy New Years Everyone!

Alright, so this is the LAST chapter of New Beginnings to be honest. I will be writing a part two to this, as it is the start to my new version of my All Star series. So watch this beauty end and await the new one that should follow eventually.

New Notes!

Okay, Hikari is still a character based on me! Nene is still my best friend and Akizuki is still her sister in real life. I own Hikari and kind of own Akizuki and Nene. I also completely own Renaia and Gerald!

Beat, Polka, Allegretto, Salsa, and March hail from Eternal Sonata. Conan is from Case Closed/Detective Conan. Inuyasha and Kagome are from Inuyasha and Rin and Hyoma hail from Chaos Wars. Soul, Maka, Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, and Black Star hail from Soul Eater. !I own none of these characters from any of these games/shows!

New Beginnings: The Music in Our Souls

Chapter 16: Hikari's Heaven

The group now awkwardly watches their leader as she happily reconnects with her oldest friend in the world; one she's had since Kindergarten until the day he moved. Everyone is in the backstage, now waiting for lunch to just end.

"It's really great to see you again Hikari. May I join this wonderful group of yours?"

"Sure Chris, no problem. The more the merrier we say."

Hikari smiles joyfully and Chris laughs kindly. Her group watches on.

"This is so weird," Hyoma murmurs.

"What is?" inquires Rin.

"Seeing Hikari so…so…oh what's the word?" asks Gerald.

"So…involved? No… not that. So connected to someone like this, perhaps? She's obviously missed Chris a lot," Renaia sighs.

"Yeah, of course she has. He's been her friend for an extremely long time," Nene points out.

"Right," adds Akizuki.

"I recall that," agrees Linda.

"It's like…she's in heaven over there," Chihoro states.

"Ahh, just like I am when I'm with you my love," Toshiro adds.

"Um…something like that maybe?" Conan questions, groaning as the two lovers kissed.

"It's sweet, so sweet. It's just really nice to see her so happy," Polka observes.

Allegretto watches her too before smiling at Polka and putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah, she looks better happy. Just like you do Polka."

Polka blushes, "Ohh, well, so do you…"

"Alright, this is great!" cheers Kagome.

"Heh, whatever," Inuyasha mutters.

"I, the God of Love, hereby declare that Hikari loves that boy!" Black Star shouts.

"Black Star!" yelps Tsubaki.

It's rather too late now however, as Hikari turns towards her friends with an angry glare. Chris has gone red as fire, but for a much different reason than Hikari's motive of pure fiery fury. She slams her hands on the table she and Chris sit at before standing up angrily.

"Silence yourself Black Star and go make out with Tsubaki instead!"

"I, the godly Black Star, shall not heed your pitiful commands!"

"You moron," sighs Hyoma.

"He's dead meat," Gerald grunts.

"Lord, please have pity on him," Renaia prays.

"He's doomed," Inuyasha chuckles at this.

"BLACK STAR!" shrieks Hikari.

"Oh no…" murmurs Chris.

Hikari's tiny sandals clap on the hard floor as she walks over to Black Star and raises her hand and swirling it in the air.

"Oh God, here it comes," sighs Maka.

"The uncool god is about to get it now," Soul murmurs.

"What's coming?" asks Polka and Allegretto in unison.

"Oh crap…I think I know…" Conan sighs.

"Super Swirling Hikari Slam!"

With this scream, Hikari's hand slammed down onto Black Star's head and sent him crashing to the floor with a dent in his head.

"And so what if I do?" murmurs Hikari under her breath.

Everyone looked at her in surprise as she spoke these words before walking back to her friend Chris and sitting back down with him.

The final talk shows and everything flew on by like crazy. The couples Hikari had placed stayed together beautifully as they would always be for eternity. Chris joined seamlessly and Hikari began plotting as to how to put Allegretto and Polka together too.

All was well as summer let out and the assemblies ended. The activities would be club only throughout summer and then would resume next year at the school.

But one thing bothered everyone…Hikari never told Chris…about her feelings…

"Rin!"

"Yes Hyoma?"

"Help me, I can't get this thing out of the pan…I think it burned…"

"Oh! Coming Hyoma!"

He shows her a pan, with a severely burnt hamburger inside. She bursts into a small fit of giggles.

"Oh Hyoma…this one is way too burnt. Here, let me help you make one better, okay?"

He blushes and then sighs, "Okay."

She kisses him gently before turning to wash the dishes.

"Hum…maybe I should burn stuff more often."

"What was that?" inquires Rin.

"Oh…ah…nothing…um…Rin?"

"Hum?"

"Can you…ah…agh!"

Frustrated and too embarrassed to say what he wants; Hyoma grabs her shoulders and turns her to him, planting a heavy kiss to her lips and nearly making her drop to the floor with weak knees.

"There," he sighs, releasing the kiss.

She gasps for air, but smiles up at him lovingly. In honesty, he can't help but to smile back.

Gerald sighs happily as he and Renaia stroll through the park side by side.

"It's so nice today."

"Agreed. The air smells lovely."

Their arms are hooked and almost every few minutes, so are their lips.

"What should we cook today?" asks Renaia.

"Hum…something with love and strawberries…"

"That can be desert."

"I like that idea. How about your delicious Hawaiian Chicken for the main meal?"

"Sounds great," Renaia replies, happily kissing her dear boyfriend.

"No! Don't die!" cries Maka.

"You idiot, get up!" bellows Soul.

Both Maka and Soul are screaming at a TV drama containing a couple that would die for one another, much like the couple watching the drama. Currently, the lead woman is screaming for Wallace to get up.

"Get up! Aria needs your stupid butt!" yells Soul.

"Plus you haven't told her you love her yet!" shouts Maka.

"Yeah, Maka's right! Not so much as a hint! No wonder she decided to take the hit for you! She figures dying will keep her from having to wait for your stupid ass!" Soul protests.

Maka breaks into laughter at this and Soul kisses her quickly before they return to screaming at the show.

"I, the godly Black Star have successfully made my follower breakfast!" bellowed Black Star.

Tsubaki enters the kitchen upon hearing his racket and finds a complete, utter mess along with two plates of nice-enough looking breakfast on the table. She sighs, ignoring the mess she knows she'll have to clean up later in order to settle with Black Star for breakfast.

She takes one bite, but is mournful to find how terrible it truly tastes.

"Ohh…." moans Tsubaki.

Black Star starts eating like crazy as Tsubaki forces it down for Black Star's sake. This leaves her to moan after she finishes.

"Tsubaki, you look a little…green?" asks Black Star.

"I'm…fine…Black Star…"

Tsubaki carefully gulps down her glass of orange juice, fights the urge to throw up, and sighs as she succeeds.

'Rule of living with Black Star number one…don't let him ever cook breakfast…' Tsubaki tells herself inwardly.

Inuyasha yawns and looks around the room, surprised to see Kagome still asleep. Smiling, he moves a strand of her hair from her face and softly kisses her cheek. Cursing himself inwardly for being so…soft that he made himself want to throw up…Inuyasha gave a scornful grunt before sighing and lying back down on his futon.

But with all of this, everyone still wondered about Hikari…

She had put them all together…why wouldn't she do that for herself?
