My Missing Piece

Chapter 1: In The Shadows

Amu's P.O.V.

I sighed knowing today was the day Ikuto had left me 5 years ago. Before he left, we shared so many memories together and I even let him claim my virginity. And that's when it happened, a month after he left I found out I was pregnant with his child. It was rough not having him there by my side but it was worth it for the birth of my wonderful and beautiful daughter, Kaori. Kaori resembles mostly me since she can be stubborn, cute, 'Cool & Spicy', and tough. She also gained Ikuto's cat-like reflexes and hearing.

"Mommy!" A voice broke through my thoughts causing me to give all attention to my child holding her favorite stuffed animal, Iku the blue cat.

I smiled; she loved that cat to death ever since Utau and I bought it for her 1st birthday. "What is it Kaori?" My child who once stood on the floor was now sitting right beside me on my bed.

"Can you tell me another story about daddy?" Although I hated talking about Ikuto, I just couldn't resist my child's innocent face and sweet voice that was clearly gifted upon by the angels.

"Only if you go to bed right after." Being as late as it is, Kaori needs the rest and it's hard to get her to sleep without a story so she usually begs me to tell her a story about her biological father. Kaori has always wanted to meet him or at least hear that husky voice of his and I've tried my very best to contact him but no one responds.

"Deal!" After telling her these stories, I usually cry myself to sleep because just remembering the days I spent with him make me miss him even more.


Later That Night

Normal P.O.V.

Both Amu and Kaori went to bed later that night. Nothing made a sound in the 2 story house that they resided in, not even a mouse.

But unseen in the shadows on Amu's balcony, stood the figure of a grown man who seemed to have midnight blue hair. His dark violet eyes scanned the Master Bedroom until they were locked on to a beautiful pinkette, sound asleep. The figure smiled as he started to open the sliding door as they were accidently left unlocked. He entered and silently closed the door but making sure that this time it was locked.

Without making a sound, he approached the bed that his sleeping beauty rested upon and carefully pulled the covers back without causing her to stir. He then snuggled up to her as he pulled the covers back over themselves.

"I'm back, for good." He whispered and then let darkness consume him to be taken to the land of dreams and a peaceful sanctuary.
