Chapter 1: Her End, His Beginning
Normal POV
lightning flared across the sky. all windows were dark, no street lamps were on, and nobody dared venture out into the streets.
except for one person. in a discreet alleyway, in the northern part of Tokyo a small girl ran. she held in her arms a large basket.
as she ran she kept looking back over her shoulder, as if she were afraid of being followed.
eventually she reached a crossing in the alley way. she could either continue straight or turn. she hesitated slightly, but barreled on.
her footsteps echoed off the ground as rain began to fall all across japan. the girl did nothing, she just continued to run. finally she
reached what appeared to be a deserted amusement park. her heart willed her to keep running, but her feet had other plans. she stepped into
the teacup ride and collapsed.
Ikuto's POV
nobody else was out in the streets. they were all too afraid of the thunder and lightning. not that they shouldn't be, the lightning was
being created by Easter's efforts to catch the embryo that had recently appeared.
i was bored. there was nothing to do at home. mother was always nagging me to be more like Mr. Hoshina,
Mr. Hoshina was always yelling, Utau was never there. i was all alone.
today was different though. as i was walking down the hallway in Easter's main i realized that the main door was slightly open. acting on a
whim i dashed forward, and out the door before anyone could notice i was gone. my heart flew as i felt the raindrops on my cheek. i started
spinning in circles, not caring if anyone saw, because there was no one who would see.
my thoughts suddenly flickered to the old amusement park. i had heard that it had been shut down. grinning wildly i ran off in the direction
of the old park.
~amusement park~
i smiled, for the first time in a long time at the sight of the old park. all of the rides were still here, and in pristine shape. i walked
towards my favorite ride. it was only a small teacup ride, but i remembered spinning on it for hours on end. i stepped up and went over to
the blue teacup. it had always been my favorite to ride in.
i was about to walk away when i heard movement in one of the other teacups. i self consciously got into a defensive stance and walked towards
the convicted teacup. what i saw inside made my heart jump.
there was a tiny girl, she couldn't have been more that 6, laying the teacup. her hair was bubblegum pink and her arms were wrapped tightly
around a large picnic basket. she stirred in her sleep and sat up groggily. she looked at me with a frightened look and collapsed again.
Amu's POV
i woke up to a pair of bright blue eyes staring at me. i was so afraid that they knew who i was. i tightened my grip on the basket and
collapsed again. i wasn't really unconscious, but maybe if the eyes thought i was, they might leave me alone.
i heard whispering from above me, and it took all of my will power not to open my eyes as i felt a pair of cool arms wrap around me.
suddenly i was being lifted up into the air. i could still feel the basket in my hands but it was heavy, and i was sure to drop it.
it was loosened from my hands. i couldnt' let the eyes take her. i opened my eyes and struggled. i heard a yelp and plopped to the floor. i
grabbed the basket out of the air as it fell and started running again.
as i ran, i looked back to see a startled boy with shocking blue hair and bright blue eyes. silently apologizing to the boy, i looked back up
ahead and ran off into the fog.
Ikuto's POV
i stared after her as she ran. i couldn't follow. my legs turned to jelly and my head was spinning. there was something about that girl that
unsettled me. something wasn't right.
i took one step forward. and then another. i kept going until i was sprinting after her. my instincts told me to keep a close eye on her.
as i was running the rain suddenly stopped and the clouds drifted away. knowing i had little time i willed myself to run faster. i felt the
wind rushing past my ears. there was power in my soul. she wouldn't get far.
suddenly an ear splitting scream broke the former silence. i skidded to a stop and turned to face the noise. i was staring into a long, dark
alley way. fearing the worst i ran into the darkness.
about halfway in sunlight from up above began flooding in. the sunlight lit up a gruesome scene. sprawled on the ground against a dumpster
was the little girl from before. he clothes were even more ragged and she was covered in blood. her basket was laying open on the ground but
as far as i could see nothing was inside.
i took a step forward but suddenly something cold pressing against the back of my head. "i suggessssst you run while you ssssssstill have
the chance." the voice was slurred and sounded high pitched. my only guess was that some drunk was holding a gun to my head. i was about to
counter his words when he spoke again. "i told you to run bastard. run now! I'll give you to the count of 3. ready? 1... 2... Urgg..." the
coldness on my head disappeared and i heard a loud thump on the floor.
i spun around to see a very fat man with a checkered coat and a 20 caliber rifle laying on the floor. in his arms was a pink blanket wrapped
around something. i bent to pick up the bundle but was stopped by another voice. "don't you dare touch her!" holding my side as i fell over
i saw a flash of pink rush by.
i got down on one knee wondering what could have given so much pain to my side. i looked down. there was no blood. that was a relief but i
was still confused. i looked over to the fat man. kneeling over him was the little girl from the amusement park. she was still covered in
blood but her expression showed worry for something that i couldnt' see.
i stood up and walked over to her. "who are you?" i asked. she stood up as well, holding the pink blanket. "why should i tell you who i am?
you would just turn me in like all the other nice people did." i backed up. she started to walk away. then i noticed the blood gushing out of
her leg.
she winced as she walked. suddenly she began to lose balance. i jumped over just as she collapsed again. she lay there in my arms breathing
heavily. i had no idea what to do. she opened her eyes again and looked up at me startled.
"you caught me. anyone else would have let me fall." i could only grin at her shock. she wasn't so bad. i didn't know her age, her name, or
who exactly she was, but i like this girl. hoisting her up in my arms bridal style i began walking. she still clung to her bundle but i
didn't mind.
Amu's POV
i was so afraid. i knew that he couldn't be that bad, if he would catch me instead of letting me fall. as he carried me in his arms i felt
so comfortable. it was almost like the feeling that mama gave off... before...
my eyes began to tear up as we walked. my heart ached for mama and papa. but i could never see them again now. i hadn't failed them, Ami was
still safe. i could feel her careful breathing against my arm from inside the blanket. the boy stopped abrubtly. i realized that i had been
crying into his shirt.
"are you okay? i know you're not crying because of that bullet wound. you would have been crying earlier. if you want to tell me, I'll
listen." his voice was so kind and soft. like a butterfly's wings. it was peaceful yet at the same time caring. i really wanted to answer
his question, i truly did. but his kind voice lulled me into a deep sleep.
