Otanjoubi Omedetou: Happy Birthday

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMU-CHAN' the Guardians yelled out as loud as they could.

It was Amu's birthday and the Guardians decided to throw Amu a birthday party.

'Amu-chi, look over here! I got you a doll!' Yaya grabbed a small porcelain doll and showed it to Amu.

'Everyone! Let's show Amu-chi what we got her for her birthday!' she added.

On top of the table were gifts from everyone. Amu too a look at the table and said; 'I'll look at everything myself'

'She's right; it's her birthday after all.' Kuukai added in.

Amu read the tags from the boxes as she unwrapped it one-by-one.

'A dress from Nadeshiko'

'A necklace from Tadase-kun'

'Where's Kuukai's?' Amu asked.

'You mean my gift? It's a……S-E-C-R-E-T' Kuukai grinned.

'What? Tell us! How's Amu-chi gonna know if she doesn't get it?' Yaya asked as she tugged Kuukai's sleeve.

'Amu. Are you free tomorrow?' Kuukai asked Amu

'Yeah. Why?'

'I'll meet you at the train station at 2pm ok?'

'Sure.'

'Is it a date?' Nadeshiko smiled

'No way!' Yaya jumped

'Seriously?' Tadase asked

'Nah' Amu answered

'Well now that's settled I'll see you at the station tomorrow.' Kuukai patted Amu on her shoulder.

After the party, Amu headed home. When she went straight to her room and lied down on her bed.

'Amu-chan, where do you think Kuukai's taking you tomorrow' Ran asked

'I'm getting excited' Su said excitedly.

'We'll just have to go to—'

There was a sudden knock on Amu's window. Amu stood up and peeked at her window. She saw Ikuto waving his hand by the window. Amu opened her window and asked; 'What are you doing here?'

'It's your birthday right?'

'Yeah'

'Get dressed'

'What?'

'I said get dressed'

'I heard what you said. Why do I have to get dressed?'

'I'm taking you somewhere.'

'Where?'

'secret'

'Fine. I already know that you won't answer anyway. I might as well get dressed. It'd be nice though if you weren't there while I change.'

'I'll wait for you at the front door.'

'Fine'

While Amu was changing she thought to herself; "What does Ikuto want from me this late at night?'

'I think it might be a date!' Su exclaimed as she twirled around the air.

'No way' Amu shrugged.

After changing she headed downstairs and out through the door. She saw Ikuto standing on her porch waiting.

'Leave your Shugo Charas' Ikuto said as he pointed at the three Shugo Charas floating next to Amu.

'Why?' Amu asked.

'Just do it'

'If you say so… I'm sorry guys; you're going to have to stay home.'

'Awwww' the three pouted as they floated their way back upstairs

'Let's go.' Ikuto grabbed Amu's hand and started walking.

'Where are you taking me?' Amu asked.

'You'll see'

After walking for a couple of minutes Amu saw a fountain at the distance. It was a park. No one seemed to be there since it was getting late. There was a huge fountain which wasn't shooting any water at all. The place was well lit. There were small bright lights in the fountain which made the fountain look as it was glowing from afar.

Ikuto looked at his watch and said; "I guess we're early.'

'Early?' Amu asked.

'Nothing' Ikuto tugged Amu to the fountain and the two sat on the ledge.

Amu's face was starting to get red as she thought about the reasons of why Ikuto would have brought her there.

After a few minutes of waiting Amu suddenly realized that Ikuto was still holding her hand. She looked at Ikuto who seemed to be as calm as ever.

'He's always like this. He's always keeping things from me.' Amu though to herself

'Amu' Ikuto whispered

'Yes?'

'I……I…..'

'Ikuto look!'

Before Ikuto could say anything else, the lights began to shine even brighter as the fountain started to shoot out water.

The two stood up and looked at the fountain that seemed to glitter in the darkness.

'Happy Birthday' Ikuto said as he gently smiled at Amu

'Thank you' Amu smiled back at Ikuto

'Hey Amu….' Ikuto whispered.

The fountain stopped spouting water and the lights began to slowly disappear. The light became dimmer and dimmer by the second until the two were surrounded in darkness and the only light that was there was from the fountain which was as dim as a candle light.

'Amu…..I….' Ikuto said as his voice echoed in the darkness

'Yeah?'

'I……I'm–'

'Hinamori?' a familiar voice said from the darkness

'It's you right?' the voice asked again.
