-~♫Prologue♫~-
It was summer, a heatwave summer, the kind where you could go outside, crack an egg on the sidewalk and watch it cook. Neku was sitting in the little townhouse's living room. Neku was sitting in the little townhouse's living room, during a heatwave summer. Neku was sitting in the little townhouse's living room, during a heatwave summer doing his summer homework. Neku was sitting in the little townhouse's living room, during a heatwave summer doing his summer homework, with all the windows open. Neku was sitting in the little townhouse's living room, during a heatwave summer doing his summer homework, with all the windows open, and the air conditioner broken. What could be worse than sitting in the little townhouse's living room, during a heatwave summer doing his summer homework, with all the windows open, and the air conditioner broken? Sitting in the little townhouse's living room, during a heatwave summer doing his summer homework, with all the windows open, and the air conditioner broken, and your little sister whining about the heat. This was Neku's situation. Mayumi*, Neku's little sister, was lying spread out over one of the foot stools staring at the sparking AC control.
"Niichaan*!" She whined. "NIICHAAN!"
"What bozu*?" Neku asked irritated, he had been reading for the past hour a very dull book on japanese government. though happy to be able to look away from the wretched textbook, he wasn't thrilled to have to deal with the whining sibling.
"Niichaan!" She whined again, the young girl looked at the thermostat and stood up.
"Don't you even think about it." Neku said standing up from the couch where he was sitting.
"But Nii!" Mayumi whined she walked up to the sparking device.
"Mom's gunna call the guy when she get's home form work now don't touch it." Neku said stepping in between his sister and the borked thermostat. he could hear the buzz of the Shibuiyan music. Not physical music, a soul melody, every soul had it's own instrument and every soul strummed blew and hummed away it's own unique melody that some how blended with the rest. Neku had been able to hear it since that first day back in Shibuya after the UG, he could hear it.
He discarded his violet-blue headphones on the sidewalk by Hachiko. He didn't knwo what became of those headphones. That didn't matter. The headphones represented a time in his life that he had left behind. Neku stood in front of his sister. He crossed his arms and legs, he leaned back, but only slightly, she didn't want to hit the thermostat himself.
Mayumi whined and pushed her brother out of spite. At first it was just a little push.
Neku Scoffed and asked "Was that meant to hurt?" Mayumi glared and then shoved her brother with all the strength in her small arms. Neku, becasue he was on a thin balance was tipped back by the shove, he was unable to recover his balance in time. The part of his neck where the spine connects to the brain hit the sparking metal. There was an ear-filling -zap- noise. The world went blank and Neku fell over.
-~♫End♫~-

-~♫Re-initiation♫~- Neku woke up in a pitch black unlike any he had ever felt or seen before. He squinted trying to figure out what was up and what was down. Neku looked all around, he attempted to stand but tilted back onto what must have been the ground.
"Oww…" he said looking up. There out of the corner of his eye was a bright light, brighter than any he had ever seen. The light went out but there was one thing left, A pure white figure. Neku sat up slowly and turned to face the figure walking toward him. Neku’s eyes began to focus and he could get a better look of the figure now. It was light and slender, and most likely male, a mass of light hair fell over the figure’s head in curls and waves, much like water. The figure stopped nearly two feet from Neku, its clothes were a light blue school-like shirt and navy sweat pants, and this figure was barefooted. Neku didn’t think much of it; he was still in a fuzzy daze. Not until it spoke to him anyway.
“Long time no see huh?” It said sitting cross-legged to look at Neku, a pair of entrancing, clear, violet eyes looking forward into his own. “How many years has it been, Neku?”
“One.” Neku replied almost instinctively. “One year,”
“Intriguing.”
“Josh,” Neku asked remembering the slender boy “what’s going on?”
“You, dear, are dead, you have died, Neku.” Joshua smiled “You’re in the UG now.”
“Again?” Neku asked
“Yes Neku, again.” Joshua said “The thermostat in your house hit your nerves in just the right place to cause you body to shut down.”
“Crap.” Neku said, your own death is a lot to take in. he sat back and crossed his legs.
“When a player goes to the UG they are asleep in both body and subconscious, they are fed information, where to go, Hachiko, Where they will start, Scramble, that they must team up or face erasure, and that they will give an entry fee, what they value most.” Joshua explained “You already know all of this, so you woke up.”
“Why didn’t I know all that stuff at the beginning of that fist week, and why not the second week?” Neku asked
“That first week, your memory as your entry fee right? All but that lovely name of yours?” Joshua asked.
“Yeah,” Neku nodded “that’s right.”
“The entry fee is taken last, just after the player pin is given, like paying for a bicycle.”Joshua explained “You don’t remember any of it because your memory as taken upon Megumi giving you his player pin. You were already in possession of mine, and all memory up until that point aside from your name was blanked.”
“And the second and third weeks?” Neku inquired
“In those weeks you didn’t need the information, so you weren’t given it.”
“Then why didn’t I wake up?” Neku
“Perhaps you did, but remember it only as a short dizzying dream.” Joshua shrugged.
“Where am I now? I mean aside from the UG?” Neku asked.
“We are sitting in your subconscious. Your body is already placed on a strip on scramble sidewalk.”
“Subconscious.” Neku said “Right…”
“It doesn’t take much effort to enter and to leave if you are me.”
Neku nodded, he closed his eyes and heard a light duet of music, and he didn’t pay much attention to it. He merely thought it a bit of Shibuya’s music that leaked into his memory and subconscious.
“Here,” Joshua said snapping Neku back to the surface of his subconscious. “You’ll need this.” Joshua handed over a single player pin.
Neku held it in his hand, or, what looked like his hand. There was a sudden, deafening silence.
“Huh?”
“Are you surprised you can’t hear it? Shibuya’s music? That is you entry fee, Neku." Joshua said calmly “here, you may want this, since the music you have been listening to has been silenced.” Joshua held out to Neku a pair of headphones and a ruddy old MP3 Player. Neku recognized the headphones at once; they were the ones he had worn one year previous, the MP3 player was also the same. Neku put them both around his neck.
“Good night Dear, I will see you in the morning.” Joshua said he stood up. The blinding light returned, and the composer was gone. Neku was alone; he felt a loud sadness Neku sighed and put eh headphones over his ears, the same old music blare din his ears again. He closed his eyes, when he opened them again, he would be in the scramble, mission mail ready to go.
