Chapter 1, two new eggs!

-Hinamori Residence.

The sun rays entered into the room, lighting up every object that comes in contact.

Hinamori Amu was lying on her bed, hugging tightly to her pillow. She's going to start high school the next day and she's getting nervous and excited, wondering what might happen during her high school life. 'I'm sure it's going to be fun.' She thought, smiling to herself. Just then, her charas floated up to her.

"Amu-Chan!" exclaimed Ran, her would-be self, or her Chara, that excels in sports. "Look! Look!"

She helped herself up, sitting on her bed. She looked at where Ran had told her to. Just then, her other Charas, Miki and Suu, floated up to see what Ran had exclaimed to saw.

"EHHH!" they screamed, amazed and shocked about what they have just seen. "W...w...why are there… WHY ARE THERE TWO MORE EGGS?" She asked aloud, still shocked from what she had seen. Why had there been two more eggs? But as she took a closer look, the eggs pattern are different from her other eggs. One of the eggs had a lock on it, while the other one had a key.

"Amu-Chan has so many characters-desu." Suu, her Chara that excels in cooking and housework, said as she looks at her two new sisters which are still lying in the egg.

"But why is it a key and a lock?" Miki, the Chara that excels in arts, wondered aloud. She then turns to ask Dia, the Chara that was born through Amu's radiance, "Dia, do you know anything about this?"

"Why, two more sisters!" Dia cheered, excited to meet her two new sisters.

"She really does have an air-head character…" Amu and her three other Charas started saying.

"But, it's exciting, isn't it?" Amu said, smiling to herself. "A lock and a key… I wonder what type of Charas would be born this time."

"But don't a lock and a key sounds familiar?" Miki asked, deep in thoughts. "Like the Humpty lock and the Dumpty key..."

"Amu-Chan is going to have a new romance-desu!" Suu said, happy that Amu is going to have a boyfriend.

"Go, go, Amu-Chan!" Ran cheered, she's all for Suu's idea.

"S…s…shut up!" Amu said, blushing. Her mind is thinking of something else. 'Are you coming back…?' She thought to herself, smiling and blushing even harder.

Dia smiled to herself. 'Things are going to be interesting now, Amu-Chan.' Dia thought.

Just then, Amu's cell phone rang. She received a message from Yaya, who's going to be a third year in middle school the following day.

'Amu-Chi! Are you free? Yaya is going to catch a movie with Kairi, Rima, Nagi and Tadase! Wanna come along?'

'Should I go…? But Tadase is going…' She hesitated. She could not refuse Yaya's offer, but Tadase just had to be there. She then decided to refuse her offer and came up with an excuse.

'Gomen, Yaya! My sister is having a recital in her school and she wants me and my family to be there. I'll go out with you next time! I promise!'

She then directed herself to her phonebook and search for Utau's number. The phone rang for awhile before someone picks up.

"Hello?" Utau Tsukiyomi, Ikuto's sister, spoke.

"Utau! I just got to meet you right now! Are you free?" Amu asked her mind still on the two newborn Chara eggs.

"Sure. I'm with Kuukai now at the park where Ikuto always plays his violin. You can find me there, and make it quick." She said.

"I'll be there in ten minutes!" Amu said, hanging the call.

"Miki, can you help me?" Amu asked, taking her pouch for her Chara eggs and tidying up her hair.

"Sure!" Miki said, happy that she could be of help. "Drew, Draw, Drawn!" She said as new clothes lay on her bed. She quickly change into her new outfit and finish preparing with her signature X-shaped clip clipped onto her hair and then head out to the park.

(Amu's POV)

I ran towards the park, where Ikuto had always played his violin. This sure brings back memories, and I hope for once that I could sing along to the tune of his violin for one more time, and even once is enough. I looked around for Utau and Kuukai, and soon found them near a bench beside the fountain. I ran up to them, trying to catch my breath.

"Are you okay?" Utau asked, as usual, being cold. But still, we can't deny that we are best of friends, because of Ikuto.

"H…Hai!" I said; barely manage to speak as I am out of breath still.

"Take a sit, Hinamori." Kuukai suggested, as he lead me to his place.

"What did you want to talk about, Amu?" Utau asked, offering me a tissue to wipe my sweat.

"T…Thank you." I said, accepting her tissue and wiping my sweat from my forehead and then, continued my speech. "You see, when I woke up, I… I found two new Chara eggs…" I took out the eggs imprinted with the key and the lock. Utau and Kuukai were shocked to find out, too.

"I think, it might mean something about your change in feelings towards something." Kuukai said, still staring at the eggs.

"I think, it might be related to your love life." Utau said, smiling at me.

"W…What do you mean…?" I said blushing as she carefully examines the eggs.

"Well," she started saying. "Whatever the outcome is, you will know once the egg hatches, alright? For now, keep the egg safe with you. And don't let that kiddy king know about it."

"H…Hai." I said, still blushing at what Utau had said previously.

"Seriously, after Ikuto left, he changed a lot." Kuukai started saying, upset from the fact that Tadase had changed. It is true that after Ikuto left about four years ago, Tadase changed. He started to ask me out everyday, despite my refusal. Then it came to a point where he tricked Yaya, Rima and Nagi into asking me out, and then confessed to me. At that point of time, I did not know what to do, and so I ran away. But I am positive now, that I don't love him, not one bit. And my heart is with the guy that I missed so much, Tsukiyomi Ikuto…

I stood up, as I was about to get teary. I turned back waving the sweet couple goodbye before rushing back home.

I went and place everything back to their rightful position and sat on my chair. I pick out my diary from my drawer, scribbled something on the diary and went lying on my bed.

'Ikuto' I thought, holding onto the new eggs, 'When are you coming back for me…?' and I closed my eyes, hugging my pillow and the eggs and tears began to roll down my cheeks.

Today, I received two new chara eggs. There is a key and a lock imprinted in each egg. Somehow, I think, and hope, that it will be related to you. Because every time I close my eyes, memories of us flash right in front of me, and your promise is what gave me strength to live without you.

I'll be waiting, Ikuto-koi.

Amu.
