Chapter 2: The Awakening

That night Amu tossed and turned in her sleep as she dreamt about the boy she couldn't remember. In her dream he was taller than her and was always black clothing from head to toe. Then whenever she tried to look at his face there was nothing there except for his grown out dark hair. Even though she couldn't see his face she would instantly feel her heart beating faster and faster around him as well as feeling this feline like aura from him.

As Amu tried to run to the boy she never got closer and her voice grew hoarse from yelling over and over again, "Who are you?! Tell me who you are! Who are you?!"

Even though the boy's mouth wasn't there, she knew that it was him who repeatedly said her name. She continued to run after the boy never getting closer, but then she suddenly noticed she was indeed getting closer to him. As she jumped out to grab him she suddenly awoke, sweat dripping down her face.

"What was that about?" Amu asked herself as she looked around at her sunlit room…

"It looks like she's still sleeping…" a man's voice reported.

"Yeah, I was worried when she started moving, but it looks like she is still under. Though it looked like she stirred every time someone mentioned Tsukiy-" the woman agreed before being cut off.

"Don't say that! That's one of the trigger words!" the man scolded the woman.

Amu stirred on the solid white hospital bed as the machines that were around her beeped and flashed. The two people wore lab coats and observed Amu's brain waves and saw what she was seeing in her head on a separate screen. They watched the Amu on the screen wake up suddenly with sweat dripping down her face. The scientists looked at one another with smiles on their faces before the door was suddenly blown down. They looked over at the door to see a dark figure standing before them.

"Where's the girl?!" the boy hissed at them as he slowly walked towards them…

Amu slowly got out of bed and looked over at her clock. Even though she didn't have school today, she still woke up early. She went over to her desk, grabbed her brush, and started to brush her messy hair before she headed to the bathroom to wash her face. As she looked into the mirror, for a split second, she saw the boy from her dream stare back at her. Amu jumped back, taking her eyes off the mirror, then looked again and saw her own reflection.

"What was that? I must still be dreaming or something…" Amu said aloud as she ran out the bathroom.

She ran down stairs and saw her mother and Ami eating breakfast at the table. She stared at her curiously wondering why she had run downstairs.

"What's wrong Amu?" her mother asked as she stood up from the table.

Her mother walked over to Amu, but as she walked over to her Amu's vision became blurred. Then her world went black as she collapsed to the floor. Her mother rushed to Amu's side, picking her up and moving her to the couch. They crowded around her, frantically calling out her name and trying to wake her up. Finally after no response they rushed her into the car and drove her to the hospital. Speeding past the buildings, they finally arrived at the hospital…

Amu awoke in a hospital room, her mother and sister nowhere to be seen. Amu looked around and saw that she had been hooked up to a few machines that checked her vital signs. Amu at first tried to remember why she was even in there in begin with, but all she could remember was her mother approaching her before everything went dark. Then the pulsating pain started again. Amu clenched her eyes shut and gritted her teeth till the pain subsided.

"Why am I getting such horrible headaches?" Amu asked herself as she adjusted her bed so she would be sitting up straighter.

It was eerily quiet as nothing but the machines made sounds. The monotonous beeps almost seemed to fade away as Amu grew used to the sound. Then before she could start to think about earlier this morning, her mother and sister walked in. They rushed to her bed and wept together for their wakened child.

"We were so worried Amu!" her mother cried.

"Big sister you scared me!" Ami cried as she buried her face into the sheets.

"Sorry about that, I don't know what happened." Amu admitted truthfully.

"Yes we know. Though even the doctor couldn't figure out why you passed out like that. Have you been skipping meals or something sweetie?" her mother asked her worriedly.

"No mom, I've been eating properly." Amu reassured her before placing a hand on her little sister's head and stroked her hair.

Ami looked up at her sister with tear filled eyes before hiding her face in her sister's lap. Amu just smiled and continued to comfort her sister.

"I called your father today about what happened to you. To tell you the truth this isn't like you at all." her mother sighed as she took a seat in a chair near the bed.

Amu looked over at her mother with a fake smile, "Really? I guess it isn't…"

Amu looked down at her hands as she thought Well, what really is me? Who am I really to you mother? Why couldn't I have been…

Then it started again. Her head began to hurt instantly as she remembered feeling this way once before. Then the pain became worse as it spread to everywhere in her body and smothered her completely. Amu's body began to convulse as she screamed out in pain through her choked sobs. It felt like someone was splitting her head open and drowning her at the same time and soon she slipped into the darkness…

"Amu wake up! Open your eyes!" the boy yelled at the sleeping girl as he ripped the machines apart.

The scientists watched in horror as the cat boy destroyed all they had worked for to please their company.

"You won't get away with this Ikuto!" the man yelled as he ran out the room to get some security.

Ikuto ignored the man as he turned to see Amu's body convulse as she started to foam from the mouth. Ikuto rushed to her side as he picked her off the table easily and held her tightly to his chest. Her body quieted down after a minute as her breathing steadied and her eyelids started to flutter open…

Amu opened her eyes slowly as they tried to focus on her surroundings. Her body felt surrounded by a pair of warm arms that felt reassuring and comforting. Then Amu looked up into a pair of beautifully dark blue eyes that sat perfectly on the boy's face before her. Then she looked him up and down and saw he was wearing a tight leather like outfit and had…cat ears?! Amu jumped out of the boy's arms quickly as she backed away from him.

"What the heck?!" was all Amu got to say before the boy quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.

"I'm so glad you're awake. Now we have to leave quickly before those Easter goons show up. The others are waiting for us so we have to hurry and go!" the boy whispered into Amu's ear.

Amu felt like she had felt the same lips near her ear once before, but she shook it off just as she shook off the boy's grip, "What are you talking about?! Others?! Easter?!"

She continued to freak out before demanding, "Tell me! Who are you?!"
