Alone In My Thoughts Chapter: 1

Summary: Amu Hinamori, age 14. Her family is gone, her guardian characters are sealed in "X" eggs, and life has left many scars, on both her heart and wrists. So what happens when Amu decides to leave it all behind?

Normal POV-

The young pinkette shuffled her feet along the sidewalk, lost in her thoughts. Her cotton candy locks blew gently in the wind. The sun was just setting, quite a scene. However, in Hinamori Amu's world, nothing was beautiful. Everything she ever knew was a lie. This was realized after the sudden kidnapping of her younger sister, Ami. After two weeks of praying for the little girl to come home safely, Ami was found. Dead. Amu was forced the truth; Life is a sick and twisted place, along with the people in it, and no matter how much you try, you can never change it. In the following weeks, Amu's mother, Midori, committed suicide, saying 'She couldn't handle the pain'. Amu's father started drinking, and he would rarely come home. When he was home, he only yelled and abused her. He complained that she was using up all his money for 'clothes' or 'food', while in reality, his paycheck went towards the bar two blocks over. After three months, he stopped coming home. Amu packed a suite case, along with her eggs, which all had "X"s on them, and what little food she had left...

Amu Pov-

"I lost it. I thought life over, time after time, yet I couldn't find an answer."

I thought aloud. My eyes searched the trees for a clearing, however they only found their way to my wrist, hidden by a long sleeved shirt and wrist bands.

"I can't tell you how much I wish I had someone to tell... Someone to love, someone to love me." I said to a tree.

"Yes, I, Hinamori Amu, age 14, am talking to a tree. Why, well, for a second, I thought I saw mama's face on the bark... Yup, I'm losing it."

I made my way to the park, my only source of tranquility.

"It's Tuesday, and once again, I'm skipping school. I feel too tired for school, not physically though. I just don't want to be bothered... Maybe this is a phase? Mama always used to talk to me about 'Teenage Phases' and 'How to Not Become a Rebel'. Man, I miss Mama..." I was ripped out of my thoughts by a loud thump behind me. I turned to see him.

"Stupid rock." He mumbled.

"Of great. He's here..." I thought in a sarcastic tone.

Ikuto Pov-

I was walking through the park when I heard a soft voice.

"I can't tell you how much I wish I had someone to tell... Someone to love, someone to love me."

... "Amu?"

I got a closer and saw that she was mumbling to herself, inaudible words that I presume weren't meant for my ears. I chara changed with Yoru and used my cat ears to eavesdrop.

"Tuesday... Tired..." Then she sighed. "Mama. I miss Mama..."

I was getting closer, trying to understand her words, but I tripped on a rock.

"Stupid rock." I mumbled while ruffling a stick out of my hair.

I felt eyes on me, and looked up to see lifeless golden orbs.

"Woah..." I thought aloud...

What happened to her? And why does she have a suite case?...

Amu Pov-

I was staring at him, scared that he had heard.

"Woah..." Was all he said.

"What?" I replied, obviously annoyed, with my 'Cool and Spicy' character mode ON. He just stared at me. Then, he asked me the questions that I prayed he wouldn't ask.

"Why aren't you in school? Where are you going?"... I didn't have an answer to that. I was leaving, and that was all I knew.

I stuttered a little, "I-I d-don't know..."

Then he asked, "Do you want to stay with me...?"

"PERVERT!" I started throwing 'stupid' rocks at him.

"OWWW! Amu! It wouldn't be just you and me! Utau would be there, remember? Oy , was my little strawberry thinking weird things again?" He replied while smirking.

"No! I wasn't!" I yelled defiantly, pouting.

"Fine, you're coming to my house." Now he had a huge smirk on his idiotic face.

"His stupid, stupid, handsome, dreamy, sexy-" Amu mentally smacked herself for thinking that. A faint blush was visible upon her cheeks.

"Wait, so we're going to y-your h-house?..." Shit, I stuttered again. Strike two.

"Yes, now hold on tight."

"Is it just me, or do you ALWAYS carry me?" I asked him, and then I decided to look down... Not my best idea.

"IKUTO! DON'T DROP ME!" I screamed as he darted from rooftop to rooftop.

Ikuto only held on tighter, while simply smiling. Wait, what? He smiles?

Cookie: So, how was it so far? I'm new to this. :)

Amu: Why do I have to be depressed?

Ikuto: Yeah, why does she have to wear all that clothing and-

Amu: I-ku-to... *Flames*

Cookie: Umm... Hope you enjoyed! I do not own Shugo Chara or its characters!

Amu/Ikuto: You got that right. :|
