Lena: Sooooo...Here's a rewrite of Familiar Stranger Prologue cuz the other one was WAAAAAY too boring. ^^ Again, the Shugo Chara cast is on vacation! So is Kitsu-chan. *Sigh* I feel so lonely. :(

Well anyways, please enjoy! I don't own Shugo Chara or any of its characters! Everything goes to Peach-Pit! But I DO own the storyline!

He loves me. He loved me. Why did he betray me? It didn't make sense!

The busy streets of Osaka rushed pass the tinted window of my red car, leaving me behind like everything else. Everything I truly wanted disappeared down the drain, all because of him, him and his heartless actions. I wanted to forget all about him. I wanted to forget everything that had to do with him. I wanted a new life—a life where I could start over and find someone who would treat me like he promised he would.

Why? Why? How could you do that? You love me! You said we'd stay together forever! That nothing would destroy our feelings for each other! Why?!

I screamed and hit the wheel, accidentally emitting a loud beep from my car. Drivers near returned the din back in anger, some flashing the finger as they drove pass. I was too angry to say anything to them. But I was so angry that I stepped on the accelerator even more, going far pass the speed limit.

Every time I got dangerously close to another vehicle, I'd think it was the end. That it was the end for me. But it wasn't. I always managed to avoid a crash at the last second. It was like I didn't want to die. I knew that I could just slam my foot on the accelerator and everything would end, but why didn't I? The person I loved was gone. He'd betrayed me. The man who was my entire life loved someone else. There was nothing for me, so why couldn't I just die? Something was stopping me…but what? Was it because I was afraid of death? Or did I still forgive him and want to go back home? Maybe I still hoped that when I got home, he'd give me bouquets of roses and a bunch of teddy bears, asking me to forgive him.

But that would never happen, would it? After all, he'd been enjoying himself with that girl. Even if he begged for forgiveness, I wouldn't give it. But if I didn't, what would happen from now on?

Weaving through the midnight traffic, I changed lanes and turned completely at random, not caring where my destination was. Just not home.

But that wasn't my home anymore. I couldn't call it home. It was his home now.

I put even more pressure on the accelerator in my anger and misery. The road was no longer in my line of vision. The blinking dashboard was, and as I tried to blink away my tears to see what it was trying to tell me, I realized I was running out of fuel.

While looking at the blinking reminder, I noticed my hands. And then my gaze went to the ring finger of my left hand. It was still there, the ring of gold and silver was still there. And the diamond shone as brightly as ever.

My vision blurred again, even more than before, as I thought of the time I received the expensive piece of jewellery. But before the memory could envelop me completely, I was suddenly aware of how close the car in front of me was.

I slammed on the brakes on instinct, the drivers behind me laying on their horns as they, too, were forced to mimic me.

See? I don't want to die...

I was afraid of death. I didn't want to die. I still had a tiny bit of hope that everything was just a dream, and that everything would be fine in the morning.

I stepped on the accelerator again, though much calmer than before. The car was moving smoothly across the highway now.

Maybe I should just go back…

Looking out the window to see where I was, a familiar car caught my eye. I squinted my eyes to see who the driver was through the tinted window, and my breath caught in my throat when I saw him. It came out as a choked laugh when I saw who he was with.

I was wrong. That tiny bit of hope was gone. She had crushed it—crushed it beneath those expensive looking heels of hers. But of course, I assumed she wore expensive heels. I didn't know, because when I saw them together, her shoes weren't on—and more was about to come off if I hadn't interrupted.

My foot was back to putting pressure on the accelerator. I wasn't looking at the road, I was looking at him. He was staring at her—staring at her with a gaze that disgusted me. But his eyes suddenly widened, and I swore he was looking at me. I held his gaze for a second longer than I'd wanted, and turned back to the road. But that one second changed everything.

A scream was ripped from my throat when the vehicle got closer and closer. I thought I'd go deaf from the sound of my voice. But before the two vehicles made contact, I heard a sound cutting between the screams and screeches of brakes...

"Amu!"

His voice.

Lena: Okay, its really short...but its a prologue, right? ^^ Anyways, I wonder who she could be talking about? X3 Wait for updates to find out! :D
