~* Amu's POV*~

Hinamori Amu, that's my name. I'm the "Cool 'n Spicy" girl. I'm in eighth grade, and I'm almost fourteen. I have four Guardian Chara's, Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia. I'm not crushing on Kukai or Kairi anymore. I do still kind of like Tadase-kun and…Ikuto. Tadase-kun is so sweet! But then again, Ikuto is always there for me. He's like my Hero. Ikuto's seventeen and I'm thirteen, that's a four year difference. But I really don't care.

"Amu-chan!" Ran yelled at me.

"What?" I yelled back. Ran pointed across the street. I looked and saw Ikuto! Ikuto! OMFG!

"OMIGOSH! Ikuto!" I screamed. I ran across the street shouting Ikuto's name and waving my hand and arm around like a retarded idiot.i finally reached him and he turned around.

"Amu?" Ikuto asked confused. I smiled up at him (since he's so fricken tall!).

"The one and only!" I shouted, pumping one of my fists in the air. Ikuto chuckled and Yoru finally came into sight.

"Yo, nay~!" Yoru said flowing over to Miki. Miki started blushing at his close contact.

"What's up, Amu?" Ikuto asked me.

"The sky," I replied as Ikuto rolled his midnight blue eyes. (They look kind of purple…)

"No, duh," he said. He then started scanning my outfit, I was wearing a red shirt that said in black letters "I'm Up and Dressed, What More Do You Want?" I was also wearing black short shorts, black socks that went above the knees, red and black checkered Converses, and a red X in my hair. (on the right side)

"What do you want?" Ikuto asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"To hang out?" I asked unsure of what to say. He shrugged, and I grabbed his pale-tan hand. I have money on me, so why not go shopping for awhile? I ran to a dress shop, with Ikuto, because I remember that mom said I needed a dress. I looked around and found the perfect one.

"Found it!" I shouted in a whisper. I then grabbed some accessories and ran to the dressing room.

-Five minutes later!-

Done! I used to never have boobs but then one day, BAM!, and I'm C-34!

"Amu? Are you done yet?" Ikuto asked, shouting.

"Hai! I want your opinion though!" I shouted. I unlocked the door and came out. I saw everyone in the store look my way, and they all gasped, even Ikuto! What? Why? What did I do? 0.0 O.O

-Ikuto's POV-

When I saw Amu walk out, I gasped. She was wearing a strapless black dress that stopped mid thigh, red X clips in soft pink hair, a necklace with a red strawberry charm on it, black fingerless gloves that stopped at the wrists, and black four inch heeled boots that go up to the knee with laces in the front and a zipper on the side. Okay, she looks hot. And for a thirteen year old, she has a big rack.

"Well? Do you like it or not?" Amu asked me. I started smirking.

"Would you really like to know?" I asked, making Amu blush. She started blushing, making her pale cheeks look as pink as her hair.

"Pervert. I'm buying it anyway," Amu stated. She went back in and changed, then paid for all the stuff. We walked out and Amu suddenly stopped walking.

"My birthday is tomorrow, and I'm having a party. Would you like to come?" she asked.

"Sure," I said simply.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" she said walking away. When she was out of sight, I started walking to her house. Why not stay and sleep over at her house?

~*Amu's POV*~

When I got home, I changed into my pajamas, and went to sleep. I can't wait until tomorrow!

-Ikuto's POV-

I opened her unlocked window, and walked into her room. Amu was already fast asleep. I walked up to her bed and climbed in quietly. Ah…she's warm. I can't wait to see her face in the morning… (A/N: Perv! X3)

~*Amu's POV*~

I feel so warm! Ah, I'm finally fourteen!

"Morning, Amu-koi. Happy birthday," I heard someone say. AH! My honey gold eyes snapped open, and stayed very wide.

"I-IKUTO?" I shouted.

A/N: I was going to stop here, but it's too short! X3

"The one and only!" he said, quoting me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, turning over to face him.

"I'm here for your birthday! Don't you want me to be here?" Ikuto asked, pouting cutely.

"Not right now!" I shouted at him. Ikuto can be such a baka!

"You know, it's 12:52, right?" Ikuto said.

My eyes widened and I looked at my blue alarm clock. It read 12:56!

"OH MY GOSH! MY PARTY STARTS AT 1:30!" I shouted, running downstairs.

"Amu-oneechan~!" Ami, now seven, yelled.

"Ami, where's kaa-san and tou-san?" I asked the little girl, aka, my sister.

"They left a note on the table, onee-chan~!" Ami exclaimed.

"Okay, now go upstairs and play or something, Ami," I commanded.

"Hai, onee-chan~!" Ami said, skipping off to her room. I grabbed the note and read it.

Amu-chan, we're so sorry for doing this on your birthday, but we've left you and Ami. We can't afford to pay for bills, or for you girls. Gomen, Amu-chan. Your father and I have left you forever. Gomen. Tell Ami that we love her. We love you, Amu-chan.

Gomen and much love,

Mom and Dad.

The note read. No! NO, no, no! NO! How could they? They can't just leave us! I dropped the note, and fell on the floor, crying. I made a loud THUD!, and when I did, Ami and Ikuto ran down.

"Onee-chan!" Ami screamed, running over to me, tear in her big eyes.

"Amu! Are you okay?" Ikuto asked, running up to me.

"Onii-chan! Amu-oneechan had that note!" Ami shouted, pointing to the letter. Ikuto picked it up and read it. His eyes widened.

-Ikuto's POV-

Oh my god…poor Amu.

"Amu, it's okay, I'm here," I said hugging her. She stopped crying and looked up at me.

"The party must go on though, right?" she said. She got up and started setting up. It was 1:22 when she finished. Amu…

~*Amu POV*~

I've lost them, but…why not have fun while I still can? At 1:28 the doorbell rang, and I opened the door. Tadase, Yaya, Rima, Nagi, Kairi, Kukai, and Utau were there. Yes, I persuaded Utau to come.

"Happy birthday, Amu!" they all shouted.

"Comein!" I said, putting my fake smile on. I started looking at everyone's outfits.

Utau was wearing purple sequence dress, and black stilettos.

Tadase-kun had on a blue polo shirt, black long shorts, and black Nike's.

Kukai wore a green polo, green shorts, and black Adidas.

Yaya came in wearing a soft pink dress that was strapless, soft pink ballet flats, and pink ribbons in her hair.

Rima's outfit was a purple shirt that had black stars on it, a red plaid skirt, and pink, white, and gray Zoo York's.

Nagihiko had a blue polo blue and black shorts, and black Nike's.

And lastly Kairi, he wore a orange polo, black shorts, and Adidas. (Ew)

I, of course, was wearing what I bought yesterday and Ikuto wore a blue shirt, black jeans, and black Converses. (They all have their Charas)

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto?" Tadase yelled, pointing at the couch where he was laying down.

"Hey, Kiddy King," Ikuto greeted, lazily.

"What's he doing here, Amu-chi?" Yaya asked.

"I invited him," I stated.

"Well, let's get this party started!" Kukai shouted, and the party started at 2:02.

-EIGHT hours later!-

Kairi gave me a book (typical), Kukai gave me a soccer ball (typical again), Yaya gave me red and black ribbons (Yep, another typical), Rima gave me a red and black jacket (wtf?), Tadase gave me a red heart shaped hair clip with a gold crown in the middle (like I'll ever wear it), Nagi gave me a basket ball (what am I going to do with this?), Utau gave me Lady Gaga, hers, and all of my favorite singer's CD's (at least there's ONE good present here), and finally Ikuto gave me the best gifts of all! He gave me a blue strawberry charmed necklace, red, black and blue X clips, and a black koneko stuffed animal!

Well, now it's 9:03 and everyone's gone. Ami went to a friend's house, and that leaves only Ikuto and I. we walked upstairs, I changed into my red silk pajamas, and climbed into bed. Ikuto was already in.

"Good night, Ikuto," I said.

"Night, Amu," Ikuto replied, and so, our eyes closed.

-NEXT MORNING-

-Ikuto's POV-

I woke up, feeling cold.

"Amu?" I asked, walking out of her room. I checked everywhere and she wasn't ANYWHERE! Did she go to a friend's house? I highly doubt it. Oh my god! She must have been kidnapped!

~*Amu's POV*~

I awoke on a stiff, cold floor.

"Where am I?" I asked myself. I looked around. Ugly blue bed, grey walls, and a bag of my presents and clothes. Oh my gosh! I've been kidnapped!

"Amu-chan!" Miki shouted. I recognized her voice.

"Miki! Where are the others?" I screamed.

"Not here…we've been kidnapped!" Miki yelled, scared. Fear was evident in her tiny voice.

"I-I…I'm s-scared," I stated, hugging my knees. I started crying into them.

Ikuto…please…hurry up and save me.

Please, Ikuto…you…you're my Hero.

Moona: Cliff Hanger~!
