"Hehehe, Iku-koi, hurry up," The little pink hair girl aged six said as she ran into a forest nearby their home. It was lightly raining through a sunny sunset on Wednesday the twenty-fourth of November, 1999.
"A-Amu-koi wait up!" The little midnight blue boy aged nine responded, as he tried catching up to her, but managed to only keep the same pace as he been doing for the last three minutes of their chase. The little girl named Amu was more athletic than him, so it was hard for him to catch up with her, even if their ages were different.
The little pink hair Amu, slowed down her pace and hid behind a tree, letting half of her face noticeable as her hair gently swayed from her face. The pleasantly soft rain drops were sweetly dropping on the children's faces, making them more glistering with the suns ray reflecting on them.
When the boy with midnight blue hair saw this, he saw an angel with a white aura and a pure heart, instead of a little girl that had light reflecting off of her. His eyes were so entranced by her sudden look, that he wasn't concentrating on where he was walking into. He walked straight into a tree. He fell back with a thump and placed his hand on his head, rubbing where he knocked it first.
He heard rustling of leaves towards him and felt a hand placed on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw Amu, looking fearfully frightened for him, her eyes getting watery as she saw her friend injured.
"A-are you alright Ikuto?" He nodded, unable to speak. She bobbed down to face Ikuto and placed her other tiny hand on his injury. She started to giggle lightly.
"What's so funny Amu-koi?" Ikuto asked. He had his small hands holding his weight from behind when Amu was leaning forward, her hands leaning on him so she could have balance.
She smiled. "Iku-koi looks cute," His heart gave a small tight twist from within side, but he kept a neutral face as he possible could.
"Amu-chan is the one that looks cute," he responded, and gave her a smile of his own. This made the small Amu blush slightly, but joined smiling as well.
The rain was now getting a bit heavier, as the sun was slightly disappearing from the sky. Noticing how dark it was becoming and how colder the weather was turning, Amu got up from her crouching position and laid her hand out for Ikuto to grab. He accepted as both children were heading towards the house.
The coldness it was turning out to be, made Amu and Ikuto freezing.
"I-it s-sure is g-getting colder h-huh Iku-koi?" Amu was wrapping her arms around each other as the wind and rain suddenly blew against them. "Ah!" Amu cried out as a harsh patch of rain and wind whipped against her skin.
Then as though light was being turned on, her body was starting to get warmer. Arms were wrapped around her small fragile yet tough body, and the wind and rain were hardly touching her. Turning her head, she saw Ikuto's small head with his now messy hair leaning against her neck. His small chest was making her back warmer as it soon was spreading throughout her body. Feeling the amazing warmth her friend was giving her, she moved her arms to his bare shoulders, and rubbed them quickly and softly as she could.
"I-Ikuto, are you ok?" Amu asked, as her body was trying to get as much of Ikuto as possible.
"I'm fine as long as you are ok Amu," Ikuto told her, as a blast of rain and wind whipped his back. His shivers were increasing by each moment they stood there.
"We need to get out of here! You'll get sick if we keep staying here!" She cried, as tears so warm were soon leaking out from her big honey orbs. They weren't far away from the house, but it was most likely no one could find them in such little light. How did such a beautiful sunset turned out to be horrible weather?
Ikuto's small arms were squeezing her more, just like the amount he was shivering with.
Letting her go from the warm embrace that was now replaced with a cold atmosphere, he took of his long t-shirt and gave it to Amu. He was only left was a white singlet.
Amu, shocked, scared and small as she was, she began to fear for Ikuto. "What are you doing?" She yelled through the hard wind. Ikuto know had his arms around his shoulders, but looked at Amu firmly in the eye.
"I want you to be safe and warm as possible!" He yelled back with his tiny pitched voice. They both closed their eyes as another harsh wind blew. When they opened them again, they found themselves with watery eyes.
"B-But Iku-koi! You will get very sick!" She said back, scrunching up the t-shirt with her small wrinkly fingers. "Why are you doing this?" Amu was now sulking through the rain, her hands shaking with the pain in her heart and the wildness of the weather. Ikuto saw this, and his hands slowly fell down to his side. He stood there in the cold, looking at the small girl in front of him. Unconsciously, he walked towards he again, having no hesitation, even against the wind and rain. He placed his small hands on her shoulder, and instantly she looked up. Her face was pale, and her cheeks and nose were dark red.
"Because," He answered calmly yet loud. "I don't want the girl I want to marry getting hurt!" Amu's orbs went wide. Ikuto's bangs were covering his eyes, even from the strength the wind was blowing at him. His height towards the girl was at least a foot taller, so he was just hovering over her. His hands were now squeezing her shoulders.
"Why do you want to marry me?" Amu asked, almost forgetting about the real situation here. "Why are you doing this for me?" Ikuto's head went up.
"I don't know yet! But I just want to protect you! I want to only protect you Hinamori Amu!" She didn't move, but felt her heart fleeting happily within her. For her friend such as him to say that to her, it made her happy. Ikuto quickly moved his hands to the shirt, and yanked it on her. Amu felt more warmth now, since the sleeves were covering up to her elbows. Grabbing her hand gently but fast in his, he made a quick dash to the house.
They were about to climb the stairs towards their home, when the door went flying open, and out came two woman and men, both carrying towels in their hands, and wearing upsetting expressions.
"Ikuto! Amu!" Cried a woman with long blond hair. That was Ikuto's mum, Souko Tsukiyomi, but she uses her name Hoshina instead. On her right was her husband Aruto Tsukiyomi, holding hands with a girl around Amu's age; Utau Hoshina. Souko ran to Ikuto and Amu and placed a towel around both of them, making it seem as though they were hugging in the one single towel. Even when they were heading inside, Ikuto never let go of Amu's hand.
"Amu! Sweetie!" Cried another woman. She was Amu's mum, Midori Hinamori and on her left was her father Tsumuga Hinamori. They both scurried over to the children, warming their skin by the touch of their hands, and saying calming words like 'it's ok now,' and 'it'll be alright.'
Yet, not even the words of comfort from their parents could dwell what's happening inside them. Still, with their hands entwined, they both slowly began to weaken, feeling their bodies as though they were filled with tones of weight neither could carry much longer.
They were getting really hot, yet cold at the same time. Their heads were spinning, and their eyes were getting harder to see. A fever was taking a toll from each one.
The first one to faint was Amu, her eyes slowly closing by the heaviness of her eyelids. She was close to hitting the flour, and was fairly scared deep within her, that she would drag Ikuto down with her. But no, Ikuto managed to catch her in his arms, before fainting himself on the carpets heat.
Before any of the parents moved to get them, it was like time had slowed down, so we could glimpse the reactions of the children.
Ikuto was flat on his back, with the towel gently surrounding him. His arms were holding security around Amu's small and weak body. Amu on the other hand, was lying on top of him, her head resting against his warm chest, as she could gently hear the beating of his heart deep within herself. One of her hands were on his chest, while the other was continually entwined with Ikuto's fingers.
Ikuto, who was still barely conscious, whispered Amu's name so sweetly, so tenderly, so lovingly, it was a pity no one heard it. This was the last thing he did, before the heavy fever from the wind and rain, soon took over from the children's bodies, leaving unconscious sleepy children, fighting a fever.

Nothing can stop us from this fight,
A star shooting its way into the night;
A fever that will soon take its toll,
Deep within us, in our soul;
I will never leave you alone ever in my life,
I will need you someday to be my wife;
So don't give up on me,
For you will see;
I will do whatever to keep you,
My life, my love, my future Amu.
