A Mistake
Prologue
It has been eight years since Ikuto left in search of his father. Today is present time. As of now, Ikuto is in America living alone. He found his father about a month ago but instead of returning to Japan, he felt he needed to think many things over. Right now he is in his apartment making dinner for himself. Following dinner, he'll clean up, feed Yoru, a stray cat that took refuge with him, and go to bed. For a job, he is working at his father's music studio. He taught lessons on the violin, of course! Although, every time he played, the only thing he thought of was her. The pinkette he left so many years ago. It's true that he had confessed to her, but he still had many other important things to consider. Where does he intend to have a career in? What will become of his family now that they are all free from Easter? Will his father ever return to Japan one day? Will he ever see the girl he loves again? And will she still even care about him?
In Japan, Amu is now 21, meaning Ikuto is now 26, but, Amu has been married for almost one year now. She was married to Tadase Hatori. He was a now very successful businessman, owning a business of his own. He and Amu are happy together, but Tadase knows that Amu misses Ikuto still even though she is too stubborn to admit it. Amu does love Tadase, she loves him very much, but it just can't compare to the love she still feels towards her perverted, cat-eared boy. Amu's love toward Tadase can only extend to a best friend until the end type way.
As for all of their childhood friends, Utau is now Amu's closest friend along side Rima of course. Nagihiko had finally told Rima his fellings 2 years ago and were wed 2 months before Tadase and herself. The happy couple live close by still and visit Amu when Tadase is away for a few days on business. Kukai is currently living with Utau, both of which who are engaged. Their wedding is a few months from now. Yaya was living by her own book, teaching dance and living happily with her 3 year old dog, Snickers. Yaya never really was fond of falling in love, she always wanted to be up and out and about doing things her own way without anyone slowing her down. She still loved visiting her friends though. She always brought the dessert for a gathering, whether it be two people or a party of 100.
Back to America. For Ikuto, today was a day of realization. It had been eight long years and he found a question that was more important than any of the others he had.
What matters most to me?
Ikuto had a very simple answer to this question. The one question he had an answer to for once, and the answer was…
Amu.
