Summary – Hinamori Amu is now eighteen years old, living by herself in a lonely apartment. Amu's parents; Tsumugu and Midori Hinamori; and Amu's younger sister; Ami Hinamori; each moved away to America so that they could try and get Ami a singing career. Now that Amu is still living in Seiyo, she's got a bunch of surprises heading her way! What will she do?
Chapter One – The Beginning
It started out like a normal day for me, love-struck teenager, Hinamori Amu. Just like I do every morning, I did my normal hygiene routine and got dressed. I had plans to go to my best friend Utau Hoshina's house today. She said something at the café yesterday about someone she knew wanting to see me, although I didn't really understand why she didn't want me to see that person until today.
Flashback
I walked into Starbrocks and saw Utau.
"Hey, Amu," Utau stood up and waved her hands in the air from the table she sat at.
I walked over to the table and sat down across from Utau. "Hey. What'sup?" Utau handed me a Strawberry-Banana smoothie. "Thanks." I took a slow sip of my smoothie and sighed.
"Hey, what's the matter, Amu?" Utau ignored my welcoming question.
"Oh, nothing," I lied. But there truly was something wrong. I couldn't stop thinking about a certain someone.
"Don't lie to me, Amu. I know when there's something wrong." Utau took a sip of her Peach-Mango smoothie.
I sighed. "You know…" I trailed off.
I could've sworn that I saw Utau smile.
"Amu, you've got to keep positive thoughts. Ikuto will come back one day soon."
I nodded. "I know…"
"Well anyway, I have this friend who just flew in from America yesterday. He wants to meet you." Utau said, completely changing the subject.
"What's his name?" I asked, trying to sound interested. I took another sip of my drink.
"You'll have to wait until tomorrow. Come over to my house whenever you wake up." Utau said, standing up. She placed the bill on the table.
"Huh? Hey, wait! Utau!" But before I could protest anymore, Utau had already left the café. I sighed.
End Flashback
Hoshina Utau was twenty-one years old but she still had her stubborn personality.
Now here I was, walking to Utau's house to see this special guest.
'Maybe it's Ikuto? No, that would be near impossible. I haven't received any contact from him in over two years. He's probably forgotten about me already and moved on to another girl. Besides, I've got Tadase-kun.' I thought.
'The question is,' I thought. 'am I really in love with Tadase-kun? Or am I merely in love with his outer prince character? No. Bottom line was that I am completely and totally in love with Hotori Tadase, my eighteen year old boyfriend. What I felt for Ikuto back then was nothing but a childish crush. I've always loved Tadase-kun.'
But somehow I just felt I was lying to myself.
I knocked on the door of Utau's house ad patiently waited for a response. The door opened and I was immediately pulled inside by Utau.
"Hey! Utau! What was that for?" but I didn't wait for her answer as I gasped as I immediately saw the person who I was waiting to see for about six years.
My first cliff-hanger! Yay! I'm so happy! LOL.
Next Chapter – "Ikuto's Back?"
Preview –
"I-Ikuto?" I was shocked when I saw him.
"Yo, Amu," Ikuto had on his famous smirk as he stood behind Utau.
Outside Tadase was walking around the neighborhood and stopped in front of Utau's house. "Maybe I should visit."
"T-Tadase-kun? What are you doing here?" I asked, completely surprised by his appearance.
"No, maybe the Kiddy-King should leave so that Amu and I could spend some time together." Ikuto pulled me back to him, my back hitting his chest.
