SH: I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in forever, but I've had no inspiration for my current stories, I'm on spring break and will try to get some of them updated by the time school starts again, I removed Best Friend's Brother, because, overall, I HATED IT. I just didn't like it anymore and couldn't stand to have it up when I wasn't going to finish it and there was no chance of continuing. I might try later-way later-to continue it but I wouldn't get your hopes up. So, once again, I apologize, I've also had a busy schedule-just ask Shadeslayer437, I never have a chance to talk to her anymore, by the way, she's probably not going to update, sorry-especially with a lot of people dragging me into dramatic situations. So, here's my new story!
Prologue
Amu POV
I stepped off the plane in Seiyo, Japan, ready to see all my friends for the first time in exactly one year today. I'd been off to study at a boarding school in the US, and studied extra hard to get done in 12 months, so I could finally come back home and see my family and friends once again. Once I'd grabbed my luggage from the carousel, I could easily pick out Utau's long blond, never-changing pigtails, as well as Yaya's brightly colored attire. Kukai was next to Utau with his arm around the pop star, and Rima stood next to Nagihiko-who had finally let me in on his secret-chatting 'casually'. Kairi and Yaya lounged on the chairs, fighting over intellectual whatnots. My parents stood a ways away from my easily spotted friends, and Ami posed in the midst of them all, attempting to grasp her idol's attention-as well as everyone else's.
"Amu~, you're back!" Yaya noticed my presence as I came upon the group. I was soon enveloped in the hugs and welcomes of the small mob. They all but carried me to the truck waiting for us, a beaming smile upon my face, when Utau stopped, as if she remembered something.
"Guys, I know you're all excited, but we're not just here for her, no offense, Amu, but there is someone else coming, I think you might be even more glad to see him, though." Utau informed, and my eyes widened as I realized who she meant. He was coming back, after three years of being gone after Nikaido and Sanjo's wedding. One year after he left my charas went back into their eggs; I'd always hoped that they would return to me when he did.
I slowly processed this new information, and put my suitcase and backpack into the truck, taking deep breaths and feeling my already thin mental walls crumbling at the thought of the mysterious, cat-like boy-well, man, now.
"Flight from Paris, France has arrived," the announcement caused Kukai to grin his goofy grin at me and take my arm to lead me to meet my childhood crush. Nagi took my other arm, and together they all but dragged me closer to the boarding area. I saw him before I thought I would, his midnight blue hair was easily visible through the crowd of blacks, browns, and yellows. He had his violin case slung over his shoulder, just as I'd last seen him, and he carried a single duffle bag. The thing that made me feel as if I'd gone insane was that there were two of him, or so it looked from a distance. The one behind the first I saw had laugh lines as well as worry lines, although barely visible, they were there. It was his father; he'd found him.
He noticed me, in between my two best guy friends, his eyes widened and he walked slightly faster as his familiar smirk slid back into its usual place. He was home; Ikuto was back.
