"And when you grow up and become an adult, I promise I'll come back and find you." Ikuto said.

Amu woke up with a start. She looked at the clock. 4:03am. She groaned, and turned over trying to become comfortable again. "Curse you Ikuto, waking me up from my dreams" she thought, glancing at the basket that held her four shugo charas. Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia were all still asleep in their eggs. "Ikuto, where are you these days?" She thought. Amu remembered all the times as a kid, Ikuto would suddenly show up out of nowhere. She remembered all the times Ikuto played his violin, the notes that rang sure and true. Pure and melancholy. She smiled to herself, almost able to hear his music. But that was impossible, Ikuto has been gone for years, and Amu hadn't seen him since the guardians defeated Easter once and for all. Amu sighed. Ikuto had disappeared after that. Even Utau did not know where he went. When he didn't want to be found, he wouldn't be found. Amu yawned, and closed her eyes again. Maybe this time Ikuto wouldn't invade her dreams. Soon enough she was fast asleep.
