START: DASH! Again- A µ's Fanfiction

---Yuna's POV---
"At least you have a mom," I stated. "I lost mine five years ago." I began to tear up. I can still remember when my mom was diagnosed. I was 7, and I just remember my parents explaining what cancer was.

~May 2031~
"Mommy," I asked. "Where did all your hair go?"

"It fell out dear." Mom stated. "That's what happens when you go through Chemotherapy." My mom had been diagnosed two months prior to this. I was told Chemotherapy made the cancer go away. I knew mom's appearance would change over time, but I didn't know it would be like that. I cuddled up to mom.

"Mommy?" I asked. "Will you get better soon?"

"I hope so sweetie," Mom stated. "However, even the doctors aren't sure." Dr. Nishikino walked into the room.

"Honoka?" Dr. Nishikino asked. "How are you doing?"

"Fine." Mom replied. "Thanks Maki."

"It's my job," Dr. Nishikino stated. "It's not like I care or anything." Mom smiled. She knew Dr. Nishikino did care for her.

"Hey Maki?" Mom asked. "How much will this cost me?"

"It's free of charge." Dr. Nishikino replied. "I would do the same for everyone else in µ's." Dr. Nishikino left the room. I cuddled up closer.

"Mommy?" I asked. "Will you ever leave me?"

"No," Mom replied. "Never. I promise."

~Present Day~
"Why did you leave me mom?" I sobbed. "Why? You promised you'd never leave me."

"Way to go Koharu." Rio scolded.

"What did I do?" Koharu asked.

"You made Yuna cry." Rio stated.

"Is there any way to make her feel better?" Julia asked. Akari began to sing my lullaby.

Akari:

Ushigi da ne ima no kimochi

My eyelids began to get heavy. It seemed to have worked right now. I slowly drifted off to sleep. Sweet dreams.

"Don't worry Yuna." Mom said. "Our song will scare the monster away."

The monsters. The monsters are never going to leave.

---Akari's POV---
"Akari-Senpai," Suzuka asked. "Why did you sing that song if it makes her fall asleep?"

"Because," I replied. "If I sing it, then she'll stop crying. It was her lullaby when we were growing up."

"Did each of you have a lullaby?" Kiko asked.

"Mine was Yume No Tobira." I replied.

"Mine was Otohime Heart de Love Kyuuden." Rio stated.

"That was mine to." Hisa stated. "Was your mom in lilywhite?"

"Yeah," Rio replied. "She lead it."

"I thought so." Hisa stated.

"You guys?" Kiko asked. "Can we go get food?" All of us looked at each other. Suddenly, we heard a rumble. We looked over at Koharu.

"What?" Koharu asked.

"Did you make that noise Koharu-Chan?" Julia asked.

"No," Koharu snapped, twirling her hair between her fingers. "Why would I do that?!" Koharu turned red.

"Wake Yuna up," I stated. "Let's go eat." Rio shook Yuna awake. We all got up and went for sushi.

At the sushi restaurant, everyone was eating and talking. We were enjoying ourselves. I looked over to see Haruki walk in. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Julia go red. I lean over to Yuna.

"What is your brother doing here?" I asked. Yuna looked over to see her brother. Yuna raised an eyebrow.

"I'll be right back." Yuna got up and walked over to Haruki.

---Yuna's POV---
"Oniichan?" I asked Haruki. Haruki jumped and looked over at me.

"Imoutochan?" Haruki asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same thing." I stated. "And I'm here with my idol group for lunch." I pointed to the table we were at. Haruki looked up and blushed really hard.

"Oh no," Haruki stated. "I can't let her see me like this." Haruki grabbed my arm and pulled me into the kitchen.

"Haruki?" I asked. "Who is 'She' and why do you not want her to see you?" Haruki sighed, sat down, and leaned up against the wall.

"I have a crush on Julia Lobov," Haruki admitted. "I got this job so I can save up and ask her on a date."

"And if she isn't interested?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I sat next to him.

"Then I have extra money." Haruki stated. "Please don't tell dad that I am working. He thinks I go out to hang out with friends at night and weekends."

"Really?" I asked. "How long has this been going on?"

"Since January." Haruki stated. My eyes widened.

"You've been working since January?" I asked.

"Yeah." Haruki stated.

"And how long have you had feelings for Julia?" I asked. Haruki blushed.

"Since first year." Haruki stated. "That was one of the reasons why I turned down every girl. You know the other reason." I nodded.

"Because of mom." I stated.

"Despite her death," Haruki stated. "They still want to meet the other members of µ's."

"I know." I stated. "People still go up to me at school and ask me questions about Aunt Umi and Aunt Kotori."

"It doesn't help that you look more like mom." Haruki stated. I sighed.

"I am a lot like mom," I stated. "And I think that hurts dad."

"No," Haruki stated. "He just misses her. I know it."
