Chapter One
New Life
Amu's POV
Sunlight pouring into the strawberry scented room. There lies a pink headed girl, in the light pink bed, sleeping. She has a purple tank-top and black shorts on as her pjs. She has light peach skin and huge honey colored eyes. When you look into them you fall into a dream. Where its just you and her talking alone. Her name is Amu Hinamori. She is sixteen and goes to highschool. She doesn't have any friends. Her only friend is her shadow, but she leaves sometimes too. Amu's parents are abusers. They always hurt her whenever they had the chance. Amu never let it get to her though, she always put up a fight.
Amu woke up instantly when she heard a huge bang downstairs. She instantly got out of bed and put on her bunny slippers. She opened the door with the slightest crack. She called out for her parents, no answer. She opened the door wider and scurried after her little sister's room, Ami. Ami is a six year old who loves to make friends. Ami isn't as tough as Amu is though. Her parents abuse her whenever she sings or tries to act happy. Amu tries to protect her whenever she can, no matter what. She doesn't want her sister getting yelled at or being slapped and kicked
When she got to her room she quickly opened it and slipped inside.
" Ami...are you here" She whispered
" Amu, is th-that you?" Amu heard her sister whisper with a sob. Ami has been crying.
" Yes Ami, it your big sister Amu. Where are you?"
" In t-the closet."
Amu went to the closet and slid it open. When she opened it she couldn't believe what she saw. She saw Ami naked with cuts on her belly and a bruised eye. Her hair was a mess and she had tears streaming down her beautiful face. Yes her face was beautiful. No matter how many cuts and bruises she had, Amu still saw her little sister's true self. Amu crouched down and put Ami on her lap. She slid the door closed and hugged her tightly.
" Ami, what happened? Did he do it again?" Amu asked her sister gently.
" Y-yes. He did it again. Mama didn't s-stop h-him." Ami sobbed on her shoulder.
" Its okay. I'll try to stop him next time, I promise." Amu held out her pinky to her little sister and said, " Pinky promise." Ami lifted her face, her face brightened a little and nodded. She stook out her own pinky and they locked them together. They smiled at each other. Amu kissed Ami's forehead. Speaking happy thoughts.
" I love you Ami. I will always protect and care and love you. No matter what happens." Amu whispered.
" Amu, you would be my Mama?" Ami asked with a quizicle look on her face.
" Yes Ami, i would be your loving Mama. I would fight for you and try to protect you. I love you. Never forget that, kay'?"
" I promise."
They sat like that for a while in silence. It was a comfortable silence. They were so silent you can hear a mouse eat a piece of cheese. Amu held on to her little sister as if she was going to disappear.
" Ami let me go get you some clothes. I don't want you naked still. I will also clean up your cuts so they won't get infected. I would be right back. Don't worry it will only take five quick seconds." I picked up Ami and put her on the floor. I slowly opened the closet door. When it was wide enough for me to exit i left. Leaving Ami by herself naked.
I quickly went to my room. I opened my dresser drawer and pulled out rubbing alcohol, pack of cotton balls, and bandages. I opened another drawer which had shirts and pants that didn't fit me anymore. I pulled out a pink long sleeve with pink and blue stripes, and a pair of black shorts. When i had everything i went back to Ami's room. I shut the door behind me quietly without making a sound. I went to Ami's bed and got her favorite stuffed toy, Sailor Moon.
I lightly knocked on the closet door.
" Ami its me, Amu. can I come in?" I asked.
" Yes."
I opened the door and held out my hand to Ami so i can pick her up. She grabbed my hand and stood up. I sat her down on her bed.
" Ami, i'm going to put this on your cut. Its going to sting a lot. I want you to bite on this towel, okay Ami?" Amu said while handing the towel to Ami. Ami nodded and took the towel and bit on it softly. I poured some of the alcohol on the cotton ball. I looked into Ami's honey-creamed color just like mine. She gave me a slight nod, telling me its okay to start. I gently place the damp cotton ball on her stomach. The cut was about three inches in width, but not too deep. Thank you God. Ami winces in pain, but holds back her tears. I gently dab the wound. Ami bites on the towel harder, it looks like she's a wolf eating her meat.
When i thought the wound was finished i moved to the next one. It goes on for about ten minutes. I put a bandage on each cut and give it a small kiss. Ami will always smile. I was done with the cuts so i moved on to her black eye. It looked even more swollen than earlier.
" Ami i will be right back okay. I'm going to find something you can put on that black eye. While i'm gone i want you to get dressed in these clothes." I say while handing her the shirt and shorts. She gives me nod and a smile. I smile back and exit the room. I quietly shut the door, and tip-toe outside, trying not to wake up anyone. I walk down the stairs quietly, when i was on the last step, it squeaked. I flinched and quickly looked around to see if anyone heard. No one in sight. I walk into the kitchen and open the freezer. I pull out a bag of frozen peas and wrap it around a towel.
I head to the hallway then i see someone i thought i never would see again. My heart lurched forward. I couldn't believe he was standing, right there, at the end of the hallway with his back to me. His dark,midnight blue hair gotten longer from the last time i saw him. It was up to his chin now passing his ears. He looked about four inches taller and very muscular body.
" Ikuto..." I whispered to myself.
He must've heard me because he tensed up and turned around. When he saw me he relaxed and stared at me. His beautiful indigo colored eyes. They sparkled in the light. His light tanned skin looked beautiful. He was like a prince coming to rescue his princess. Of course i wasn't his princess, he already has someone. But i still love him, and i always will. He just couldn't know.
" Amu..." He whispered to the room.
Ikuto's POV
I saw Amu, the beautiful Amu. The lady i came to see. The lady i came to rescue. She was there in front of me, i just couldn't believe it. I haven't seen her in three years. She looked so different. Her hair was still a shiny pink. Pink as a strawberry. Her honey colored eyes shimmered in the light. Her eyelashes were long and curved at the end. I already knew she wasn't wearing any makeup, whatsoever. Her luscious, pink lips were formed into a shy smile. I look back into her eyes and i got lost into them. I was in another realm, where its just me and her.
I walked up to her slowly. I walked up to the angle i love and i always will no matter what, but i can't let her know that, not yet. When i stood in front of her, she just stared at me. She was about a foot shorter than me.
" Amu...is that you?" I ask her trying to make sure. We haven't seen each other for a long time so give me a break.
" Yes Ikuto its me, Amu." She whispers.
I instantly hugged her. She hugs me back automaticly. She burried her face in my chest and i do the same in her hair. Her hair smells like ripe strawberries, that were freshly picked. I hear a sob, and then i feel my shirt getting soaked with...tears? I lean back so i can look at Amu's face. Her eye were puffy and red. Her face had dried up tears and fresh ones streaming down. It broke my heart to see her like that. It hurt so much.
" Amu, why are you crying? DId i make you depressed?" I whispered.
" No. You didn't make me cry. I'm just glad your back. You came to save me right? From this Hell hole. You're here for Ami and I...right?" She asked with a sob and a small smile. How could i say no. I came for her and Ami. I came to save them from there horrible parents. Wait scratch that. They weren't parents, they were Satan's spawns that got out of Hell after getting butt raped from the devil himself, and after listening to Friday by Rebecca Black and after listening Baby by Justin Bieber, and after swallowing 1,000,000,000 seamen from the Devil's dick. ( Paws: Sorry if that was a little too much. But i wanted to make them seem evil and what made them like that. Remember i was exaggerating a lot not a little. So sorry if i ruined your minds people.*Slapps myself.)
" Yes, Amu. I came to save you and Ami from this Hell hole. I will take care of everything. I want you to pack your things and put it in my car. I will take care of your parents so don't worry. We will also press charges on them. Kay'?" I said to her in a very serious tone. Wait thats not like me, but we have to grow some day, now don't we.
" Okay Ikuto. I trust you. I will let Ami know. But shes not in good condition right now. About and hour or two ago she was sexualy and physically abused by my dad and mom. Don't worry i already cleaned up her wounds."
" Okay then. But why do you have a frozen pack of peas?" I asked gesturing to the pack of peas in her hand. She looks down and thinks for a moment or two.
" Oh my God. I totally forgot. She has a black eye and i told her i would be right back. I'll let her know." She says in a panic voice. Amu leans in and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I slightly blush from the sudden movement. She didn't notice, thank God. Amu walks down the hallway and leaves. Now where are those people who shouldn't be called parents.
Amu's POV
God. I just gave Ikuto a kiss on the cheek. I can't believe it. Maybe now he knows that i like him. I can't believe this. What's gotten into me? Don't bother with it right now. You need to focus Amu, focus. First: Get Ami and take care of her black eye. Second: Pack our things. Third: Never look back
I head to Ami's room. I look in the closet, she isn't there. Where is she? Oh no...did he take her again?
" Oh no. Ami!" I screamed running down the hall to my parent's bedroom. I throw open the door. I couldn't believe what i was seeing. He was hitting her. Ami was crying on the floor with her hand covering her cheek. Her face was red and soaked with tears. Oh hells no! This is NOT going to happen. Not with ME here. I run up to him and punch him in the face...hard. He was takin aback for a second, then regained himself.
I was carrying Ami, bridal style, when he pushed me onto my side. I landed hard on the wood floor. My arm felt like it was broken from the impact of the floor. Ami was on her back, she looked like she was, dead. I looked up and saw him towering over me.
" You know what happens when you disobey me Amu." I scream and then everything goes...black.
Ikuto's POV
I was walking around the house looking for those disgusting creatures. (parents). I was at Amu's room. Her room smelled like sweet strawberries and tears. I would understand the last one, well because i would cry a lot too if i was in her shoes. I was looking around until i saw a picture of Amu and I. She was about eight and i was around twelve. We were on the grass, our backs against the tree trunk. There was a sunset in the background and the petals, from the cherry blossom tree, were gracefully sinking down. Amu was wearing a sky blue sundress with white sandals. I was wearing black jeans and a dark blue shirt with white converse. Amu and i were holding hands and smiling. That was before everything happened. I miss those times
" AHH!" I hear Amu scream. I quickly follow the sound. It brings me to the door at the end of the hallway. Without hesitation i slam open the door. I couldn't believe what i saw.
Ami and Amu were unconcious on the ground. There father was towering over Amu ready to hit her again. I run and slam my side against him. I knocked him down on the ground. Before he can get up i kick him in the stomach. I keep hitting him until i know he won't move.
I walk over to Amu and Ami. I pick them up, they were pretty light, and walk outside. I put them into the car. Before i leave, i run inside and pick up that photo and Ami's favorite toy. When i got the two items i ran outside and put them in the car. I start the car and head to the hospital.
" Don't worry Amu and Ami. You have a new life ahead of you, starting now."
