Chapter One
Irony
Amu fumed, she was annoyed beyond comprehension.
'How can they confess like that!?'
-Flashback-
"Amu, can I fall in love with you?" Tadase asked from across from her.
-x-x-x-
"You love someone, don't you?"
"Yeah," Ikuto paused momentarily, looking up from his spot on the floor, "You."
-End-Flashback-
'How cruel,' Amu sat up on her bed and stretched. Looking around she saw Ikuto still sleeping soundly on the two beanie bag chairs.
She looked at him for a few moments, a blush rising to her cheeks as she recapped the previous night. Standing up quickly, her sudden movements woke the four Chara's and stirred the sick boy who was drained of energy.
"Sorry, go back to sleep Yoru, come get me if something happens." The sleepy cat like Chara couldn't even congregate a nod as his head was pulled back into his egg where he fell back to sleep. Ran, Miki and Su floated over to her, each with a sleepy look of their own. Amu smiled and grabbed her uniform before walking to the bathroom to dress...away from a boy who could at anytime wake up.
-x-x-x-
Midori smiled as she placed the phone back on the receiver. She hadn't felt this giddy in a long time.
"Ami, go get ready. We're going with Papa to the Airport."
"With the big planes?!"
"Yep!" Midori smiled as her youngest shouted joyfully and ran up the stairs and past her oldest that was making her way down the stairs.
"Mom," Amu said as she walked to the table and grabbed a piece of toast and poured herself a glass of orange juice.
"Morning dear," Midori said in her usual cheerful demeanor. "How was your sleep dear?"
"..." Amu thought about the many times she had to kick the blue haired Neko out of her bed and frowned, "Could have been better."
"Oh?" Her mother asked with a twinkle in her eyes, curiosity overlapping it.
"Uh, yeah, I had a lot on my mind."
"Like what?" Midori sat down across from her daughter who held her glass of juice before her lips.
Amu looked at the orange liquid and stood up. "Mom, when two guys you really like, both confess that they have feelings for you...on the same day...what is the best thing to do?"
"Oh, why would you ask me that? Sweet heart, you don't need to worry about that kind of situation happening to you."
Amu looked up and took a drink of her juice, "Why not?"
"Because," Midori stood and moved to do the dishes. "You have a fiancé."
-CRASH-
Midori jumped and turned to her daughter who stood solidified in her spot, her glass was shattered on the floor, a piece had cut her leg and the juice stained her socks.
"My word, Amu, what's gotten into you. Go clean up and change socks. It's not like I never told you."
"Told me...what are you talking about...you never did tell me!"
"Of course I did, I couldn't wait to tell you when I found out. I remember, the second I agreed to the arrangement I ran home to tell you, your beautiful sunny eyes stared at me so innocently, you were 2 and a half years old when I told you." Her mother said cheerfully, stars shining brightly in her eyes at the fond memory.
"...MOM! I WAS A BABY! I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU WERE SAYING AT THE TIME!"
"You were no baby, you were a toddler. There's a difference between the two."
"..." Amu watched her mother clean the glass and didn't know if she should scream, cry or just walk away. She chose the latter of the three and walked back up stairs depressed; grabbing a new pair of sock from her drawer she pulled them on, ignoring the floating Chara's condolences. She saw Eru sitting on the window sill and told them to stay with the lonely Angelic Chara. They nodded somberly and watched her leave.
-x-x-x-
Ami squealed happily when Midori picked her up, she called out to Amu who ignored her and walked to the door, pulling on her shoes and grabbing her bag.
"Amu, you should know that given a month or so...you'll be meeting him."
"Who..." Amu asked, though she knew perfectly well who; her mystery fiancé... 'Who's behind door number four...?' Amu thought in annoyance, thinking of Kairi who confessed first to her, Tadase who confessed next a while after and Ikuto's odd confession later the same night as Tadase's, that still left her confused, all in all...she was a little more then depressed right now.
"You fiancé, oh, and by the way, your father and I are taking Ami to the Airport to pi―"
Amu left through the door before her mom could finish, not wanting to hear anymore.
Midori stared after her daughter. "pick up your...cousin..." She sighed before making her way upstairs to her room, cracking open the door to see the worn out boy still peacefully sleeping. Yes, she knew he was staying here...however, she hoped for both his and her daughters' sake, that his feelings didn't run too deep. She went down stairs and made a bowl of warm Leak soup, when finished she made her way to her daughters room, placing the bowl on the side table and smiling as he started to wake, leaving before he saw her.
'Sorry Amu, I can't go back on this arrangement.'
"Midori, hurry, we'll be late if you don't come on."
"Right!" She called back, her smile firmly in place.

Amu was sitting in the same seat she always did in the Guardian meeting, Rima and Yaya were chatting about something she wasn't paying attention to, every once in while they would say something to her and she would nod. Tadase seemed to think she was thinking of the other day, when, in a way she was, but the only one who really seemed to notice her mood was...Nagihiko.
'He must have his sisters' ability to read people.' Amu thought when she caught his eyes on her, concern evident in his amber orbs.
"Amu, can I speak with you for a moment?"
"Why, is there more life changing news you want to tell me?" She stood up dramatically, placing her hands above her head, "The sky perhaps, is it falling? No," Her hands moved to her chest, "I'm not really a girl, but a guy? No," Tadase and Nagihiko glanced at the other, light blushes stained their cheeks. Amu pulled at her hair, "I don't have hair, I'm bald? Nope! What could anyone want to confess on this lovely day, perhaps Yaya will tell me she is my sister, or Nagihiko will tell me that he is his sis―"
"ALRIGHT!!! What...Happened!?"
"What happened...? WHAT HAPPENED!? MY LIFE IS OVER! Bachelors please take your places behind your doors! Rima, Yaya, let's play a game, think of the guys we all know, and guess, which one is behind the four doors! Door number 1, Rima!"
"Uh...K-Kukai?"
"WRONG! Kairi Sanjou, first to confess he likes me! Then leave, RIGHT AFTER!" Nagihiko looked taken aback at how angry she was. "Door number 2, Yaya!"
"NAGIHIKO!!!!" Nagihiko stared at Yaya like she grew two heads. Tadase held back a laugh.
"WRONG! Tadase Hotori, confessed just yesterday, well, sort of. Next, door number 3, Rima!"
"IKUTO!!!!" Both Yaya and Rima started getting into the little name game. Amu now breathing shallow breaths, her cheeks flushed.
"CORRECT! Last night, right after Tadase leaves, he pops in, and...CONFESSES! Now, this one is for Nagihiko and Tadase, which Bachelor...is behind...door number 4!?"
They looked between the other and back at Amu, both shrugging, "The only guy left is Nagihiko, but...he hasn't confessed to liking you."
"True." Nagihiko agreed.
"Well, your guess is as good as mine," Amu said softly, her voice shaking with each word. "I found out this morning, that, I have an arranged marriage...to a guy I've never even met, the winner by default, Bachelor 4." Amu turned and walked out of the room, her bag left at the side of her chair. Yaya and Rima thought to follow but quickly decided against it. Tadase frowned and stared at her bag.
"...I'll...go call my sister...see when the quickest flight back will be..." Tadase nodded in understanding. Nagihiko left the room and followed after Amu with her bag clutched in his hand. He found her crying on the roof, moving next to her, he sat down and listened to her until she stopped.
"...sorry..."
"No, it's fine. Understandable really, you like Tadase and Ikuto equally, maybe one more then the other, and to be told so suddenly that you have a fiancé, right after they both confess, it must be hard for you. If you want to cry, then cry, don't hold it in, scream if you want to. Just, don't keep it bottled up."
"..." Amu blushed, "You remind me a lot of your sister."
"Well, we are twins," He said with a smirk,
"No, not looks, though you got those down too, I was referring to the way both of you say the right things. Nedeshiko,"
He stopped himself from responding and listened.
"I miss her, she's been gone, not even really that long, but I miss her, more then the words and the advice given, I think, what I miss the most is..."
He listened to her a blush forming on his cheeks, "Hm?"
"Her smile...that made me feel better even without the kind words, or the meaningful guidance she would give, I miss her smile the most." Amu's eyes shut as she thought of her friend, Nagihiko tried controlling his heart rate which had sped up suddenly.
"You'll see her soon, she should be back tomorrow around noon."
"AH! Really!?" Amu smiled brightly and hugged him tightly before blushing and pulling away. "Sorry,"
"Stop saying sorry, it's fine. Like I said, cry, scream, don't bottle it up inside. If you want a hug, then give a hug; just...don't go around hugging strangers."
"I'm not stupid,"
"I know, now, let's go back, actually, class has already started, here is your bag."
"Thanks, uh..."
Nagihiko stopped walking away and turned back, "Yes?"
"Nothing, um, do you think you could relay a message to the others?"
"What message?"
"Ask them if they could meet me at the gate...I want to invite everyone to my house; we could have lunch there or something..." Amu tried to fight the blush that was spreading on her cheeks.
"That would be nice, I'll tell the others."
"Thank you."
He walked off with that and Amu face palmed. 'No, no, no, no, NO! I can't fall for him too! What is wrong with me!?' She sighed before walking off to class.

The bell rang signaling the end of school, two Chara's floated about until they spotted a group of kids with Chara's.
"Hey, we found them, the ones you said you sensed!" One called out, flapping small mini black demon wings as it perched itself on a young girls shoulder. The girl wore a pair of camo cargo pants, a silver chain dangling from her belt loops and a black sports bra, on her feet were black combat boots with a silver mettle cross on both ends of the shoe laces of both shoes. Nothing else marred her lightly toned body, a sun kissed glow emitting from her skin tone. The other Chara yawned, falling gracefully into the hand of the girl. She smirked at the sight of the pink haired girl in the center of the group, the kids parting for them. After a black limo pulled up and took the blonde girl away, she stepped forward, making herself known.
