Komarii: I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA!
But if I did then I'd own Ikuto…*evil thoughts*
Prologue
"Hurry and grow up already." Ikuto said while pushing Amu backwards slightly. He then turned around and started to walk off. Amu could only stand and stare as Ikuto walked down the street into his new life. She thought she should be crying. No, she knew she should be crying. But she in such an utter state of shock that it didn't fully register that he wasn't coming back this time.
Tadase started talking and she thought that it was directed to her but she never heard a sound. She was going to miss Ikuto. His soulful eyes, his protectiveness, and his loyalty to a person he cared about, to go so far as to even put himself in more danger for that person. She would even miss his teasing and his perverted side!
Something touched her cheek causing her to blush involuntarily. She looked over at Tadase to find his face closer then she remembered. "I-I love you A-Amu." He stuttered. He must have kissed my cheek she realized. And he just said he loves me! But...why am I not as happy as I thought I would be? She smiled at him to make him feel better even though on the inside she was completely confused. "Well, let's go home. Do you want me to walk you home, Amu?" Tadase offered. "No thanks, I know my way back from here." Tadase smiled and walked off.
"Did you hear that, Amu! He loves you!" Su said excitedly. "Yay for Amu, yay!" Ran said cheering as usual. But Miki stayed silent. "Yeah he did, didn't he?" Amu said half-heartedly. "What's wrong, Amu? You should be rejoicing; he loves you back!" Ran asked.
"But that's just my problem Ran. He loves me but…. I don't know if I love him anymore. All I can think about is Ikuto!" Amu said, putting her head in her hands as she started to cry. "I-I-I just d-don't understand any m-more!" she chocked out between sobs. "Who d-do I love? I hate l-l-love. I H-HATE IT!" she screamed.
Her head popped up as she heard something drop. Then she spotted a blue egg on the ground. "No!" Amu said as she knelt to the ground. She picked up the little blue egg and saw the spades encircling it. "M-Miki! Come out!" She said shaking the egg. "This isn't f-funny! It's n-not the time to be making jokes! MIKI!" she shouted to no one in particular. And she knelt there for who knows how long just sobbing over the loss of her chara, over the loss of Ikuto, no, she could even think his name, over the loss of him, and over the turmoil in her own heart.
