Currently at the age of sixteen, Amu has been waiting for months for Ikuto's return from America.

Ch.1 The Beginning Of The End-終わりの始まり (Owari no hajimari)
AMU
I woke up with a start! My I-home was blasting music so loud I couldn't even recognize the song. Hitting the snooze button I lay in bed for a moment waiting for my hearing to come back. Just as I was about to get up I stopped and pulled the covers back over my head. It was Saturday so I might as well sleep in a little. While lying in bed my mind began to wonder over last year's incident. I started to vividly recall the day I had grown up and my shugo chara went back into their egg's cradle. I always knew that it would happen one day, but I didn't expect it until after High school. Now that I know what I want there is no need for Miki, Su, Ran, and Dia to be there for me physically; they are a part of me now in spirit.
It was a Saturday afternoon yet I had nothing to do. I Syed as I strolled aimlessly around the city. I suppose I could call one of my many friends and go to the mall or something, but it kind of felt nice to just relax and walk around town. As I turned the next corner I found myself face to face with the last person I wanted to see, Tadase-kun.
"Hey Amu," Tadase greeted as he leaned forward for a kiss.
I pivoted my body and gave him a quick hug to avoid his hungry lips. He just didn't get it did he. When I told him last month that it was time for us to see other people I should have known he wouldn't take me seriously.
As I pulled away from the hug Tadase-kun grasped my shoulder and asked, "What's wrong are you mad at me or something?"
Shrugging off his hand I replied sharply, "The only thing that's wrong here is you! Stop pushing me to get back together with you. I thought I made it very clear that it was over last month!"
Ignoring my last statement Tadase-kun aloud a childish frown to play across his lips while he replied, "I did do something to make you angry. Whatever I did I'm sorry." He even went as far as to make a low bow and mumble, "Gomenisai."
Rolling my eyes I walked around him and continued down the street. Tadase finally got the hint that I wanted to be alone and yelled, "Ok, we'll talk later."
Ignoring him I continued to strut forward until I found myself in a place I could finally relax in, the park. The first thing I did was collapse on the nearest bench and put my head between my knees. I wish Ikuto would come back soon, maybe then Tadase-kun will get the message.
I guess I must have drifted off to sleep while day dreaming because as I lift my head I realized it was late afternoon and the sun was descending fast. Looking at the time on my cell phone I jumped as the numbers 5:30PM danced on the screen. Okaa-san was going to kill me! I promised Ami-chan I 'de take her to see Utua in concert tonight at 6PM as an early birthday present! I hoped off the bench and sped towards home until I was so out of breath that I had to stop and walk the last three blocks.
The sun was setting now, I could tell because the once bright blue sky and snow white clouds where now an orange red sky with pink and yellow wisps of clouds; the sky looked as if . . . as if it were on fire! As I recovered from shock my brain slowly began to take in what was happening. I started to run again, but faster much faster. The fire was getting closer and my lungs began to burn as I filled them with smoke.
When I came upon my house I almost fainted in shock. The entire building was ignited in flames! Where was the fire department! I could see all my neighbors calling them yet it was like they weren't coming on purpose. I ran over to the old lady who lived next door and asked in a panic, "Is anybody in the house?" As if to answer my question I heard screaming and yelling coming from the building. Tears of fear poured down my face as I pushed past the crowd to my front door. It was locked and I didn't hesitate for a moment before running to the side and jumping through the living room window. I was blind as a bat. Even as I crawled on my hands and knees towards the stairs I could barely see much less breath. Suddenly a large shadow fell over me. Someone was standing above me. I didn't even have a chance to defend myself as the butt of an ax slammed into my skull. Everything went red.
this is the first story i have written in months so any help editing it is welcomed!
