It was a cold September evening, the crisp autumn wind blow through Amu's silky locks as she sat on the bench in the park. She was bundled in a light blue plaid coat with a white scarf. She wore blue legwarmers to keep from getting cold.
It had been a year since defeating Easter and she was now 13 years old. After Ikuto and Utau helped destroy the Easter, they quickly vanished, never to be heard of up until now.
During this period of time, Amu had finally come to her senses and realized her feelings for Ikuto. But it was already too late. He was already gone. So here she was sitting alone in the park. She looked up at the full moon. She remembered his blue silky hair, his sparkling sapphire eyes, his tall slender body and his deep melodic voice. Tears stung her eyes. She wiped them quietly with the sleeves of her coat. She lifted her head and stared at the stars. Suddenly the wind became swift. It blew her hair into her face. She brushed her hair away from her face. Suddenly she felt a whisper in her ear.
"Amu.."
She snapped her head toward the direction where the whisper came from, but sadly, there was no one there. She sighed and slumped into the bench. 'Stupid mind is playing tricks on me...' she thought. She closed her eyes to calm herself. When she heard another whisper in her arm, this time it was warm.
"Amu…"
She clamped a hand over her ear. She stood up and looked up around.
"SHOW YOURSELF!" She yelled into the darkness. Nothing happened for a few seconds but the whisper soon replied.
"Amu..." said the whisper. It was followed by the sound of a violin.
Amu's eyes widened. She knew that song. She was tempted to follow the sound. She took a step forward, but stopped. She placed her hands over her ears and shook her head.
"It's impossible! You disappeared. You're supposed to be gone!" she cried as tears rolled down her face.
"Come Amu… Follow my voice."
She shook her head.
"It's not real! This isn't happening!"
"I love you Amu…" said the whisper.
Amu refused to accept.
"THEN WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME? WHY DIDN'T YOU AT LEAST SAY GOODBYE?! WHY?!" she yelled removing the hands from her ears to cover he face. She wiped away the tears with her sleeves.
The whisper didn't reply. Instead, the sound of the violin grew louder.
"Come…"
Amu looked up. The sound was clear. She hesitated, but began to follow the noise.
She walked slowly, but when she heard the melody becoming closer, she began running.
She ran quickly, determined to see him.
Soon, she could see a silhouette in the distance. Her heart skipped a beat and she sprinted.
The violin grew nearer and nearer.
She finally reached the figure playing the beautiful sound. She bent over to catch her breath. She looked up.
It was him.
He put down the violin and stared at her.
Amu stared back, breathing heavily.
She opened her mouth for only three syllables. "I..Ikuto.."
He looked back at her and smiled.
"Amu…" he said.
Amu remembered suddenly how angry she was with him.
She looked down as tears rolled down her face. She balled her hands into fists and began shaking.
Ikuto approached her. Her reached out a hand to her face, but she slapped it away.
She looked up. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE! WHYD DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE LEAVING?"
Ikuto looked to the moon and sighed.
He looked back down to Amu.
He pulled her into and embrace.
She punched his chest lightly with her fists and cried.
"I…had to leave." He said.
Amu stopped crying for a moment and looked up.
He stared back down at her. "After destroying Easter, I had to leave for a while… The other members of Easter might've sought revenge on me…"
"Why didn't you tell me goodbye?" she asked.
"Goodbye is like saying 'I'm never going to see you again.', but there's no way I could live with out seeing you." He said and smiled.
Amu sobbed and buried her face into his chest.
He placed his head on hers and whispered. "I love you…"
