I Promise I Will Come Back

-My name is Amu Hinamori, I live in an apartment all by myself, but occasionally I get a dark haired visitor. His name is Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Every night at exactly 6 P.M. he will come in through the balcony window and greet me with his signature "Yo." Until a war broke out in Tokyo, Japan. They needed every man 18 and older to go fight in the war. But they had to choose. Fight for your country, or stay at home with your family. Most chose to stay, only 400 men left. My man was one of them -

(Ikuto P.O.V)

Like every night at 6 P.M. I opened the balcony door, but this night might very well be my last. I was pretty sure Amu already knew what I decided to do, her face said it all. Watery eyes, flushed face. She had been crying, maybe almost the entire day. But all I said to her was "Yo."

(Amu P.O.V)

I had been crying almost the entire day. What if he got shot? What if he died? Will I ever see him again? Will I ever hear his voice again? I hadn't expected him to come through the balcony window that day, but when he did I tried my best not to cry. I have to admit it was the hardest thing I had ever done before. "Yo." Was the only thing he said, but that was enough for me. I couldn't hold them back anymore. The flood gates had open and I couldn't stop them now.

"Ikuto…..don't…..leave!" I sobbed between words. I embraced his slim figure and didn't let go. This might be the last time I hold him.

(Normal P.O.V)

Amu embraced Ikuto in a never ending hug. After all, it could very well be their last. Ikuto hugged Amu back and whispered in her ear.

"I won't let go until I have to." Ikuto whispered.

Amu nodded and squeezed him tighter. GRRRROOOOWWWLLLL! Amu flinched.

"I think someone is hungry," Amu laughed.

"But to make dinner I would have to stop hugging you!" Ikuto teased.

"I can make an exception." Amu let go of Ikuto and went to the kitchen.

Glad she had something to take her mind off of the depressing news, Amu decided to make the best dinner she could. Amu made as many different kinds of rice balls as she could. Some were plain but others had salmon and other yummy foods in the center.

When Ikuto came into the kitchen, he was surprised at how much food there was. They would have to each eat like 5 rice balls to finish their meal.

Ikuto and Amu ate in silence, savoring every bite of every rice ball. That's when Ikuto broke the silence with 6 little words. These 6 little words made the mood in the

room change pretty fast.

"I will come back, I promise." Those were Ikuto's last words.

After that, Ikuto got up and walked to the door. Amu followed him in a hurry, wanting to save the few minutes she would have left with him. She kept thinking about those 6 words. That's when Ikuto did it. He leaned in and kissed her. Right on the cheek. Right then and there. And then left. He left Amu standing in the doorway too shocked to move. Just watching as he left her. Those same 6 words kept on repeating over and over again in her head. Until she had enough courage to close the door and curl up on the couch in the living room.

OK….I think I did pretty good on this story so far. Sorry it's short...I'll update ASAP. Don't forget to R&R! Please no hate comments. No one likes a hater. Bye!
