Shi-chan13: OOOKKKK, well this is my first fanfic so be brutally honest with me if it sucks or is awesome. This was originally a one-shot but now it's going to have 2 chapters and a prologue. All together it's a little longer than a one-shot. It's all in Amu's POV so it shouldn't be too confusing. It's an all-out Amuto story!!!

Yoru: Shi-chan13 forgot to say the disclaimer *snicker* Shi-chan13 does not own Shugo Chara or Tadase would die alone and painfully.

Shi-chan13: Nice, Yoru. Enjoy the fanfic!!!

A Tearful Goodbye

I was sitting on my couch idly flipping through the TV channels when the door bell rang. I turned off the TV knowing I wasn't allowed to watch when my parents weren't home. I got up and opened the door only to have a sobbing Utau fling her arms around my neck. "Amu!" she cried. "You have to stop him!"

"Stop who, Utau?" I asked while trying to release her strangle-hold on me. Utau let go of and stood up wiping her tears away with her gloved hands.

"Ikuto. He-he's going to study music abroad!"

"I don't see what the problem is. He's going to come back."

"That's what's wrong. He doesn't plan to come back!"

My body went rigid. It felt as if my heart was solid lead sinking down in my chest. I could hear Utau asking if I was alright. Ikuto's going away for good? No! There must be some mistake, my mind reeled. Half of my body was urging me to stop him while the other asked why I should care. Why, I thought to myself. Because I love Ikuto. As I realized this, it was like fog clearing. It was so easy to feel right saying those words. Of course I love him. He left me speechless the first time we met. I was thinking of him for days after that. I straightened. I was going to stop him. "Utau?"

"Yes, Amu?"

"Where is Ikuto leaving from?"

"Umm, the south train station, in about forty minutes."

"Thank you. That's all I needed to know."

"Wha-"

I barreled past Utau running at full speed. I cut down a narrow alleyway, one of the ones Ikuto used to take me through. I would use all the ones he showed me if it could get me to him any faster. My vision went blurry and I wondered if I was going to pass out when I felt something hot on my cheeks. Tears. I said in my head. I raised my hand to wipe them away. Why is he leaving? After all we've been through. After I finally realized I love him!

A few people I bumped into yelled at me. I didn't care. I just needed to get to Ikuto. Somewhere a clock chimed four-thirty. "Only ten more minutes!" I panted. It was as if time itself was against me. I looked around me. I was almost there.

Five more minutes.

I was in the train station.

Three more minutes.

I saw Ikuto in a crowd waiting to board a train with Yoru napping near his head.

"Ikuto!" I called. He didn't hear and I pushed through the crowd to him.

"Ikuto!" I yelled. This time he turned his head and I saw his eyes widen in surprise. I stopped in front of him. "W-why are you leaving? Why don't you want to come back?"

"Amu, I-" he began, but I cut him off.

"Don't go! Please." I looked at him with my tear streaked face. "Not now. I-I love you."

Ikuto stared at me for a second with his beautiful eyes then he grabbed me by the arms and pulled me into his arms. I could feel my face reddening, but I couldn't care less. I could stay like this forever. Ikuto bent his head down and whispered the very words that would make my world complete. "I love you too, Amu.

We pulled apart as people started boarding the train. "You still want to leave, don't you?" I asked.

Ikuto smiled down at me. "I do, but now I have a reason to return. Now I have you."

"You'll come back for me, right?"

"Of course."

"Promise me."

"I promise." Ikuto whispered bending down and gently pressing his lips against mine. "I could never leave you now."
