Prologue
"Ikuto?"
The name echoed loudly throughout the darkened building. Bodies lay everywhere and blood splattered the walls. A figure was peering around from behind a wall, her golden eyes wide and her petite frame shaking violently. Tears were welling up in her eyes as she took in the scene around her. She stepped carefully from behind the wall, her cotton candy pink hair sticking to her forehead as sweat beaded up and made the room feel very stuffy.
Her breath caught in her throat as her foot caught on the color of a shirt.
"Ikuto?" She whispered again.
There was movement from behind her. A few stray papers lying on the floor whizzed into the air, than floated lazily to the ground.
The girl whipped her around, her breathing labored as she met the glinting eyes of a teenage boy before her, half hidden in the shadows. She swallowed and took a step forward.
"Don't come closer!" He shouted angrily. She froze, her heartbeat racing, her head beginning to spin.
"Ikuto," She whimpered.
"Go away, Amu," He snarled. "Stay away from me."
"But Ikut-" Amu stepped forward again, when suddenly Ikuto's arm shot out and pushed her away roughly. She stumbled and fell, bruising her already much abused body. She stared up at him, fresh tears welling in her eyes. She just sat there, looking completely helpless and venerable.
"Go. Away. Amu." He pronounced each word slowly and carefully, as though speaking to a retarded person.
She shook her head.
"LEAVE!" He yelled so fiercely she leapt to her feet. But she did not move. She simply stood there, staring at him.
He stepped forward into the light to reveal his handsome features. He was tall, with untidy cobalt hair and eyes that matched. He wore jeans and a black t-shirt, which was all splattered in blood. His face now held a plea, instead of anger.
"Please go."
"N-no."
"Please, Amu. For me." He was practically begging.
She stared at him, and her eyes searched his. She saw nothing, just a blank desire for her to leave. He wanted her gone.
"But I-I-" She flipped through her mind for an excuse to stay, a protest.
He lurched forward before she could finish. His arms wound tightly around her waist, and he closed the few inches between them. Her eyes widened for a moment, than she sighed and closed them. Her hands twisted into his hair, and in the few moments there lips were apart, he whispered her name.
They broke apart, gasping for air. He let go of her, and disappointment washed over her face. She stared at him with pleading eyes.
"I'm dangerous, Amu," He whispered, avoiding her gaze. "Go, before I hurt you."
She tried to catch his eye, than, realizing she had failed, she nodded and calmly turned to leave. Than she turned.
"Oh, and Ikuto,"
He turned, sadness obvious in his eyes. "Yes?"
She took a deep breath, than looked him in the eye and whispered, "I love you."
She turned away from his astonished gaze and made her way down the spiral staircase.
