Summary: Amu's mother walked out on her, temporarily leaving her with the Tsukiyomi family. In which she finds closure and acceptance. Somewhat-Drabble Fic

Rating: K+

Pairing: Eventual Amu/Ikuto

A/N: I really don't know what to say. I mean, I'm not the type who likes writing author notes. It makes me feel awkward. So I'll make it short. Amu is 7 in here and Ikuto is 9. Utau is also the same age as Amu. Well, enjoy.

P.S. They'll age overtime but slowly.


Chapter 1: Stranger

9 year-old Ikuto didn't know what to make of this... sleeping girl who was sprawled across the sofa. He certainly didn't expect it when he came home from school. As he slowly walked toward her form, scrutinizing the details of her face, he briefly wondered if she was one of Utau's friends but quickly dismissed it. Utau wasn't home right now. She'd messaged him, saying she was at a friend's house.

Then who was she?

Curiosity piqued. Ikuto moved to wake the girl, albeit hesitant once he saw her sleeping so contently.

Then fascination came next. Pink hair. How unusual... Slowly, the hand that was hovering around her shoulder reached down to take a strand. He rubbed it between his fingers experimentally.

Hmm... Soft.

Musing, Ikuto didn't see the fluttering of the girl's eyelids. It was only until he saw her shift that he noticed.

For good 10 seconds, he felt something stir inside him when he met piercing, amber eyes.


Please leave a review. I, for one or many, find it much encouraging.
