Amu: Nani?!

For You
Summary: Implied AMUTO Fic. After realizing the Embryo only appears when there's a mass amount of X Eggs cleansed, Hoshina Kazuomi plans to place a huge pressure on Amu by threatening, "If you keep fighting against Easter, it won't be just you that would be affected."

A long day at school. It was late in the afternoon, and Hinamori Amu had finished a Guardian meeting and was off heading home. Her mind, however, was drifting and aimlessly walked around the area. Her three shugo charas, Ran, Miki, and Su were happily chatting amongst themselves and did not mind the detour. Yoru had tagged along as well, causing the three charas problems.
Yoru was depressed, considering the incident with Ikuto. He was also happy that the Guardians were going to do something to save Ikuto, but he had no idea how. He knew that they were simply little kids going up against a huge corporation-Easter. Though, the only thing that made him feel better about was Amu. Yoru knew very well that Amu was capable of saving Ikuto because Ikuto had faith in Amu even though Ikuto would not admit. It was obvious due to his fondness of her, likewise for Amu as well. The only problem that prevented him from acting seriously was that she was a fickle girl when it comes to guys.
Amu sneezed.
"Bless you!" her three shugo charas said.
"Bless you-nya!" followed Yoru, looking away with an uneasy expression.
"Thank you," said Amu in response as she rubbed her nose with her finger. She looked around and realized she had no idea where she was.
"WHAT?! Where are we?" her panicky voice urged for an answer. She began looking at every corner of the area for an answer but to no avail.
Ran and Miki looked at her and sighed, wondering about their owner.
"We are lost-desu," said Su. This made everyone's head drop slightly.
"Of course we're lost! I figured that out!" exclaimed Amu. "Mama and Papa will get mad at me for coming home later than usual!" She made a frustrated sound.
A black limo then pulled up right before her and the shugo charas. The window rolled down, showing a middle aged man.
"Y-you're that guy! You're the one who's controlling Ikuto!" pointed Amu. She was ready to fight him.
The man chuckled. "Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Hoshina Kazuomi, the director of Easter. I am Ikuto's stepfather. I'll give you a lift to your place. It won't be much of a problem, since I need to discuss some things with you." Amu looked at him cautiously. He wouldn't do anything to a little kid right? As much as this seemed like a situation where McGruff would say "don't talk to strangers", Amu wanted to know more about Ikuto's whereabouts.
"Don't be too hesitant. I mean no harm."
"Amu-chan! I don't think this is a good idea at all!" shouted Ran, waving her pompoms to add more emphasis on how bad of an idea it was.
Amu stared at the ground. "But..." her voice drifted a bit, "I want to help Ikuto, and it won't do me or the Guardians any good if we just barge in through Easter. I want to know who we are up against." The shugo charas remained silent, signifying to Amu that they trusted her decision.
"Fine! You better take me home!" said Amu. She got in the limo.
She sat down across from the director. "What have you done with Ikuto?" She said as calmly as she could.
"He's perfectly fine right now. He is resting. After all, he worked so hard yesterday."
Amu clenched her fist. She wanted to teach the man a lesson, but she couldn't do so by physical force. She knew better than that. "Well, what was it that you wanted to tell me?" she snapped.
A smile tugged at the director's lips. His eyes-devious as it could be. "I want you to work for Easter."
Amu felt her eyes widened. The man was insane for his bluntness. "W-what?!" she, her shugo charas, and Yoru exclaimed.
Yoru, during that time, had been making faces at the director. He wanted to claw the man's face but he knew he had to control himself. Though, he stared at Amu hoping that nothing will go wrong but he knew too well that Easter was too corrupted.
"You heard me perfectly," began the director. "I hold your family's best interest at hand."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is. If you keep fighting against Easter, it won't be just you that would be affected." He had this ever so calm exposure that frightened Amu. She felt so ticked. She could not just yell at him and hope that would pull some sense through into him. He was a corrupted man that had delved way too deep into the pool of darkness. Amu knew she had to play along with his game to get closer to Ikuto and to make sure her family remained safe.
"Fine."
The shugo charas gasped.
"Amu-chan!" shouted Miki in disbelief.
"You can't be serious!" cried out Ran.
"This is a bad man-desu!" exclaimed Su.
Amu looked at her shugo charas sternly. "Trust me," she mouthed. She glanced over at Yoru. He looked ever so betrayed, making Amu soften her gaze. "I'll save Ikuto" was her indirect message to him.
"That's very good." Hoshina Kazuomi was indeed very pleased. "Starting tomorrow you'll be Easter's newest top model for children." Amu glared at him. "I knew you would be pleased. I have already informed your parents about sponsoring you in our model's program. They immediately agreed, sounding very proud of you."
The limo then pulled over in front of her house. Amu got out as fast as she could, barely tolerating the man.
"I am glad that we had this talk... Hinamori Amu," was the last thing he said and drove off.
.
It was the next day, and Amu had received a call from Hoshina Kazuomi. It was to make their deal finalized, and she was uncertain if she really wanted to go through it. Before, she would rely on Nadeshiko but she was in London. So, she decided to go to Nagihiko.
"Nagihiko, can I ask you a favor?" Amu asked, a bit tentative on how Nagihiko will respond.
Nagihiko smiled, noting Amu's bashfulness. "What is it, Hinamori-san?"
Amu began to fiddle with her fingers, pressing her two index fingers together over and over. "I was wondering... that is... if you don't mind..." Nagihiko looked at her with a questioning face. "Is it okay if you could pretend to be Nadeshiko?"
Nagihiko smiled. Amu must really miss Nadeshiko, even though Nadeshiko is Nagihiko. The only problem was that he didn't want to reveal to everyone about that. "Alright. If it's for you, I don't mind." Nagihiko then put up his hair in a high ponytail just how he used to a year ago, when he was in the queen's chair. He then cleared his voice, altering the pitch he was about to speak. He then smiled, a soft smile just like Nadeshiko and gave a small laugh.
"You're amazing at pretending to be Nadeshiko!" Amu said in amazement.
Nagihiko laughed nervously. "If only you knew" he mused silently to himself. "Amu-chan, what is it that's bugging you?"
"Well, you see, I have this friend. She ended up making a deal with a stranger, and it is obvious he has no good intentions. But, she thinks that by accepting the deal she could help out a friend who is trouble. Do you think it was wrong of her to?"
Nagihiko studied Amu's facial expression, wondering how he should approach her question. "Personally, I would think it's stupid to accept a deal from a stranger." He then put on a smile, which made Amu feel like something dropped on her head saying "no duh". "Though... that friend of yours-she must really care for that friend for accepting a deal with someone that probably has ill intentions. Just make sure that she doesn't lose herself because there are things that make people forget about their true self." He then looked over to Amu to see her smiling at him. It gave him this warm feeling. True, that he used to have feelings for her but he was too content with their current relationship to actually want to pursue a higher one. So, right now, the warm feeling he felt was from the fact that he was able to help out a really good friend.
"Thank you!" Amu exclaimed and hugged Nagihiko. She then rushed off to some place.
He then let down his hair and rummage through his pockets and took out two eggs that his shugo charas lie dormant in. "I hope you won't end up like me, Amu-chan. Don't lose yourself."
.
Amu raced to the side of the school, the opposite side from where the Guardians held their meetings. A black limousine pulled over. She looked around to make sure no one spotted her then got in.
"Welcome, Hinamori Amu." Hoshina Kazuomi greeted her. His greeting was returned by a glare. Amused was what he felt and he chuckled at Amu's "childish antics".
"I'll make you famous, Amu," he said bluntly.
"Don't call me by my first name," she snapped. Her arms crossed, still glaring at the man.
"My, my don't get all uptight," he said in response to her snappiness. He then took his suitcase which lied beside him and placed it on his lap. He opened the case, which caught Amu's attention. He then took out a stack of papers which Amu eyed suspiciously.
He handed the papers to Amu, which Amu took quickly to scan over the details. She knew that there could be something else up with the contract. "The contract is a full detail of whatnots. The basic outline is that you give your full participation towards Easter, and there will be no harm to your friends or family. You still get benefits like every other star in the departments but your benefits are higher."
"What if I start rebelling?" asked Amu.
"I don't think your parents would want to try looking for other jobs."
Amu's eyes widened. She was surprised on how powerful Easter was on controlling other less powerful corporations. They could get her parents fired... It was their dream jobs that they worked so hard to achieve. She clenched her fist. "...fine. What other details would you like to point out?"
"By becoming part of Easter and helping us obtain Embryo, we will let Ikuto free."
"That's good with me." Amu then signed the contract.
