Neko-mimi hentai cosplay otoko is back!

September 24th

**Amu**

Today is my 16th birthday. I don't know for how long I've waited for this to come, and so, I planned to be all day with my friends.

It's been awhile since we last gathered. I mean, Utau's fame has never been better and she's always traveling; with Kuukai too of course (those two got really close, it's been years and they are still together), Tadase went abroad last year together with Tsukasa and they only returned about two days ago. Nagi and Rima are dating, so me, along with Yaya and Kairi, can't actually go out with them all the time, besides, there's school.

So today will be the best day ever! Except for…

Ikuto. I though with a sigh while preparing to leave. I wanted to talk to him for so long, wanted to tell him about my Shugo Charas, that Ran, Miki, Suu and Dia are back inside me, just like Yoru.

I got downstairs and saw Utau talking to my parents - which felt weird.

'Utau!' I said while running to greet her. We hadn't been able to talk properly in months. I missed her.

'Amu!' she replied with a large smile in her lips.

'Why are you here so early? And why didn't you call me?'

She looked at my mum and dad.

'Ano… did I miss something?'

'Not at all. I just got back from the studio and Kuukai is at home getting ready for your BIRTHDAY PARTY!' she said while she jump-hugged me and whispered 'Happy Birthday'

I simply nodded in reply and hugged her back.

'So. Let's get moving. We still have time until the others get here so let's talk a bit.' Utau said.

'Hai!' I was looking forward to this day. We can finally go out, and chat like before.

While Utau was getting closer to the door, she turned back and said:

'Midori-sama, Tsumugu-sama, we'll be going, have a nice day.' Amu? Aren't you coming?'

'Ah, hai.' I said goodbye to my parents and my sister (who got herself a Shugo Chara last year named Kiyoshi) and followed Utau.

'Iterashai' I heard my mum saying.

****1 hour later****

'…yeah and then she stepped on the microphone's cable and rolled for like 3 minutes before falling on her butt. Hahahaha…'

We were both laughing and enjoying our time.

Back to the old times I thought. It was really good finally seeing Utau like that after so long. We became close to each other when the Easter thing ended and of course when she fell in love with Kuukai and left Ikuto to me - even though she didn't actually said it like that. Ikuto. Yeah. He is what I miss the most.

'Nee, are you thinking about Ikuto?' Utau asked noticing that I had gotten lost in my thoughts.

I lost my balance for a second and looked at Utau, who had stopped walking.

'Why do you think that?' I asked trying to sound 'innocent'.

'I don't know. I think about him a lot too. Sometimes I wish I was with him. Looking for our father. ' She looked at the floor and an awkward moment of silence came.

' Well yeah. That too.'

'What?' she lifted her head.

'Oh, I mean, about Ikuto. I was thinking about him too… I ask myself all the time if he is ok.' I felt the edges of my lips slightly rise 'But something tells me that he doesn't feel lonely and that he is happy. But I miss him.'

'Yeah, I know the felling.' Utau said while we were having a seat on a bench that we had just found.

Another moment of silence came, though this time Utau was the one putting an end to it. She jumped off the bench and almost screamed:

'But let's not think about that now. Let's celebrate your birthday happily like old times.' I smiled in reply 'Oh! It's almost time. Let's get moving' she clapped two times.

I sighed and slightly shook my head trying to shake away those thoughts. She was right.

This is my day. And we are all together after such a long time I though while following Utau.

We kept chatting about how her last trip was, about my reputation at school because now that Easter is a music set and we don't need Embryo anymore it is no use to have the Joker, Ace, nor all the guardian thing. Our group is now 'normal'.

After walking for a while we saw from afar Kuukai, Yaya, Rima, Nagi, Tadase laughing and Kairi rising his glasses, blushing a bit and trying to not laugh.

Me and Utau ran to them and I screamed 'MINNA!' they all looked to us and they all screamed with a huge smile on their faces: 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMU!'- Even Kuukai now calls me Amu.

They all greeted me and we were having a great time. We all chatted and talked a lot about our time away from each other. Tadase loved traveling with Tsukasa, they went to Europe and he said things there are really different. He grew a bit since last year and I believe he is now Kuukai's size. As for Kuukai, hah, that guy never changes, all sporty and stuff, making fun of me once in a while. *sighs* It's so good having them all here with me.

***at the mall- Pizza restaurant***

'Dude! You're eating like a pig!' Kukai was teasing Tadase and we were all laughing except for Utau, who punched Kukai's arm for being mean.

'Ouch! Oi, you're the one being mean now Utau.' Utau turned red and started hitting him again 'S-Stop it! Ouch! Ok, ok I'll shut up.' She glared at him in reply and then she started to bite her slice of pizza again.

'Amu, imagine if someone that you really liked came to visit you. How would you react?' Rima asked while sitting next to me. Her question confused me.

'What do you mean?'

She rolled her eyes and sighed before answering me.

'I mean: if a person who's dear to you, and that you haven't seen in a while came back to see you' she paused checking if I was understanding this time and so I nodded in reply and she continued 'If that person came to see you today, how would you react?'

For some reason I felt like "that" had already a name and Rima knew it.

'I don't know. It might depend on the person. Why?'

She looked at me with no expression at all.

'Hmph. Never mind.' she looked away and drank her natural juice

I was about to ask Rima what was going on when I saw Tadase staring at me. When I looked at him he blushed a bit.

'Tadase? Is there something wrong?' I asked concerned

'Not much.' He paused 'I felt like asking you one thing.' The pink on his checks turned red.

'What?' He said nothing ' Tadase…?'

'Well… I-I think that this isn't the right place for me to ask it so…. I guess I'll…I'll wait.'

He stared at the slice of pizza he was holding and then bit it. I started to think of what he wanted to ask, but my thoughts were interrupt by Rima's move. She whispered something to Nagihiko, who nodded and then smirked - I had never seen Nagi's smirk and for some reason I got the feeling that the smirk was for me - then she left. I watched the little girl go away and then I turned to Nagi.

'Ok. What's going on? What was that smirk for? And why is Rima NOT here?'

Nagi looked at me confused and then answered.

'Calm down Amu, she's going to the girl's restroom. As for the smirk…'

'Yes?'

'You know… it is a lack of respect staring at other people when they're not talking to you, miss.' He smiled seeing me turn red. I opened my mouth to answer but then a familiar voice interrupted me.

'Happy birthday Amu' he whispered on my ear.

My eyes went wide opened and I felt my cheeks hot. And when I finally got the courage to turn around, I saw the one person that was missing by my side.

Ikuto!
