~~cHaPtEr 1: Of Mistletoes and Misunderstanding~~

~Ten years ago...~

It was December when a five year old pink haired girl was helping her parents decorate their house for Christmas. Her father hanged a mistletoe on their chandelier and kissed her little daughter on the cheek.

"Eww, dad. Why did you do that for?" the pink haired girl asked her father.

"Because, my little cherry, we're under a mistletoe." her father said.

"What's a mistletoe?" Amu asked out of curiosity.

Her father pointed on the plant with the white things on the ends. "That's what you call a mistletoe. When you're under it, you have to kiss the person beside you."

"Ish that so?" Amu asked, amazed on the plant on their candelier.

"Yes." her father simply replied.

"Amu-chan, come on, let's go. We're still going to shop gifts." her mother, Midori, said.

"Coming, mommy." Amu said as she ran to catch to her mother

"Bye, dad. See you later." Amu said, as she waved to her father.

"Bye, my little Amu." her father said, waving back to her.

~After a few minutes, they arrived to the department store.~

"Yay! We're here. Wee!" Amu said, jumping up and down

'Amu-chan's so cute when she's having fun' Midori thought to herself.

"Mommy, let's go!." an excited Amu said.

~After a few moments...~

Amu went to the toys department, her mother unknowing.

"Wow, there's so many toys here. It's so fun." Amu said with sparkling eyes.

"Hey mom, buy me this, please? Mom, where are you?" Amu hollered

"Mom?...where..are.. you..?" Amu said, with sniffles and gasps.

Amu went to a corner, and cried her eyes out...

"Oi." a voice said

"Oi, little girl." the voice said again.

Amu looked up, to see a boy with blue hair and sapphire eyes.

The boy is about two years older than Amu.

"What?" Amu simply answered

"Why are you crying?" the boy said, feeling concerned

"I'm lost. I don't know where mom is." Amu said, through sniffles and tears.

"There, there. Don't cry, I'm sure that your mother is looking for you. Ne, what's your name?" the boy said, comforting Amu.

"Amu Hinamori. You?" Amu innocently said.

"Ikuto Tsukiyomi. C'mon, I'll help you." Ikuto answered, holding out a hand to Amu.

She stopped crying, feeling a bit better.

"Nice to meet you, nii-san." Amu said, smiling.

'Wow, she's so cute.' "Same here. Now c'mon let's go look for your mother." Ikuto simply said

"Okay!" Amu said, taking Ikuto's hand.

~ After a few minutes...~

*Amu's POV*

"Have you seen a five year old girl with pink hair and golden eyes?" mommy asked to a stranger.

"Mommy!" I ran and jumped to my mother's arms.

"Amu-chan, I've been looking everywhere for you. Where have you been?" mommy asked me

"I went to the toys department, then I noticed you were there, I started crying. But Ikuto-niisan helped me." I answered

"Who?" mommy looked confused

Ikuto-niisan came near to mommy.

"Me." Ikuto said

"Oh, thank you for helping my daughter, Ikuto-san." mommy smiled to Ikuto-nii

"No problem, miss." Ikuto answered

"Oh I forgot something, thank you too, niisan." i said while kissing Ikuto on the cheek.

"it was nothing." Ikuto looked away while a faint blush crept to his cheeks.

'she smells so sweet, like strawberries'

"ne, why'd you do that for?" Ikuto asked, curious.

I pointed to the ceiling where a mistletoe was hanging.

"Oh that." Ikuto said

Then somebody yelled.

"Ikuto-niichan! We're leaving!" a girl with blonde hair in pigtails yelled to Ikuto

"Well, bye-bye, Amu." Ikuto said

I waved goodbye.
