Prologue
"Amu-chan!"
"You have to get ready!"
"At least put on a decent shirt rather than that tank top!"
"Oi, Oi! Just a minute!" Amu yawned waving to her charas. She flopped onto her soft bed and closed her eyes-only for a moment…
???~*~*~???
Something soft and silky, almost fur like, was brushing against her cheeks and unsettling her eyelashes. A warm breath smelling slightly of catnip or something of the sort was blowing on her mouth. Amu slowly opened her eyes, still in a daze. Two glistening orbs shone back at her with intense curiosity and vague amusement.
"WHA-?!" Amu exclaimed shooting up into a sitting position and clutching the bed sheet to her chest.
"Basugasubakuhatsu!" Yoru exclaimed happily.
"Yoru." Ikuto cautioned sitting back.
Amu glowered bristling angrily at the two of them. Ikuto just looked back at her seriously. That's odd – he's not smirking as usual when he bothers me... Disregarding this thought, Amu turned to look at Ran, Miki and Su. They were watching Yoru spin in happy circles with looks of confusion and concern almost like sadness on their faces.
"Ran? Miki? Su? What's wrong?" Amu asked dropping the bed sheet. She frowned and her charas turned to looked at her.
"Yoru said –" Ran began. Before she could finish her sentence Ikuto tapped her on the head lightly.
"Don't listen to Yoru." He said unsmiling and stood. Amu watched as he walked to her balcony with a melancholic face. He disappeared without another word leaving Yoru behind.
"Ikuto-nya!" the little chara exclaimed. He was about to follow when Amu stood and grabbed Yoru by the tail.
"What did you say to Ran?" she asked raising her eyebrow.
"Not telling-nya!" he said struggling to get away. Amu sighed and released him. Yoru shot into the wall and, squirming to straighten himself out, flew out the window in pursuit of Ikuto.
"What happened Ran?" Amu asked, turned and plopped back onto her bed.
"Yoru said Ikuto hasn't been acting normally!" Ran exclaimed and covered her mouth with her pompoms looking around to see if she would get rapped on the head again.
"Yeah, that he hasn't been happy for some reason!" Miki added and looked around.
"He hasn't smiled at all!" Su said and hid under the covers.
Amu looked around her room and remembered that look of melancholic depression she had seen on Ikuto's face when he left. A resolution came to her then.
I have to make him laugh…
