Scarlet here and I'm not very impressed though I really want to 'Wow!' you guys. I realize how people really, (and I mean REALLY!), like Amuto. Killing Ikuto off in the first chapter wasn't to smart of me, I realize but as I said, I want to 'Wow!' you. Since only two people reviewed, Emmoria and Fofey, I realized that it only took one person to help me boost up my drive.
I give my thanks and, slightly, this chapter to Emmoria and Fofey.
Declaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara or the characters or anything, just the idea. Thank you.
Also, by the way. At the end of this story I am going to put down a playlist for the story. Each chapter gets its own song. Thank you once again.
(Start Chapter)
Last Time in "Sing A Lunar Song"
It was all so dark...
I gasped, my hands having a death grip on a bundle of cloth that was bedding, my feet pushing away the cloth below me. My eyes were wide with tears streaming down my clammy face as I lay in a sea of sweat.
End
"Amu, honey, you're all right!" This was all strange to me, that was my mother's voice, wasn't I at Nedeshiko's? "You were screaming in your sleep honey, is everything all right?" Yes, that was my mothers voice, by why couldn't I see her?
"And who's this Ikuto boy?" Was my dad crying? I could hear it in his voice, his sobs as Ami tried to calm him down with whispers of healing.
I realized then that I was crying still, my eyes blurry with tears. I tried to move my hand away from the blanket that I clutched onto to wipe the liquid from my eyes. When I did I felt the bed shaking, why hadn't I realized this before? My arm moved like a rusty robot, creaking and slow. When I finally rid my eyes of the tears and worked on sitting up, which failed with the shaking of my arms, so that's where the shaking was coming from. I turned my eyes towards my mother who was hovering over me.
"M-mom," I managed to say, my voice cracking. Wow, who know just speaking could be so exhausting. Her eyes were full of worry as I grabbed for my throat. Why did it burn so much? "W-water, please."
My mother stayed by my side helping me sit up as my little sister, Ami, ran downstairs with my father to get me a glass of water. "Amu, what were you dreaming about that'd make you scream so much? You haven't had a nightmare since you were little."
"I-" I tried to speak but was stopped by my mothers finger. "You don't need to speak yet, Amu dear," I heard her say to me as I wiped the moist off my face with a cold washcloth my mother gave to me. Soon my father entered, his eyes still red from crying about the boy I must have talked about in my sleep… How else would he know the name Ikuto?
"H-h-here y-y-you g-go A-A-Amu," my father stuttered as he handed me the tall glass of see through liquid. He must be really taking my sleep talking terribly…
"Thank you," I said after I took one long drink of water. "I'm all better now, it's okay," I tried to reassure them.
"I'm still curious about what made you scream so much in your sleep," my mother was scolding me for trying to get out of answering her.
"It was just a scary dream; a lot of close people to me were getting… hurt." I tried to explain it without letting them know that they had all right to freak out. Come on, if you were a parent and knew your child had a dream about people getting killed, you'd send them to an insane asylum.
Though, that was my question, was it just a dream, or maybe it was… No Amu! Don't think about it. I'm sure it's a dream; you'll see Ikuto later tonight trying to sneak in through your balcony door. Yeah and when you go out later today for ice-cream with Kukai you'll end up running into Utau again and she'll try to attack you. Yeah, it was all a dream.
"Older sissy, why are you crying?" I heard tiny little Ami's voice above my two parents bickering in the hallway.
"I-I don't know, Ami. But older sissy is going to be okay, alright?" I looked down at Ami with the best smile I could manage.
(Later that day :Location: Park)
"Hinamori, you seem really distracted, what's up?" my redheaded friend next to me asked.
"It's nothing," I responded, obviously to quickly… It looked like he didn't trust me.
"Tell me, Hinamori." He growled my name. Wow I never knew Kukai having such a side.
"Well… I had this freaky dream, but now it's all over, I'm okay, seriously." I tried to convince him that nothing was up, just me being paranoid. In all truth it was like I said. I had that terrible dream… but… When Ami and my parents left me to myself when I was about to go onto the balcony I saw him there, bleeding and broken… Ikuto… I don't know if it was my imagination because when I came back from the shower he wasn't there… just like I though, just my imagination.
"Are you Hinamori Amu?"
No way… it was the same two men from my dream!
"And who's asking?" Kukai shut your big mouth!
"We're employees from the company Easter, I believe you've heard of it, Souma Kukai I presume."
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!
Run Amu!
I can't, why can't I move?
You can if you try. I thought you were Hinamori Amu? You can do it!
"Come on Hinamori, DASH!" Kukai had grabbed my hand and began to run past the two Easter goons. We made it into the city before Kukai decided it was okay to catch our breath. "Oi, Hinamori. Why were those goons trying to find you?"
"I don't know," I said, trying to play stupid about it. My face fell as I panted, trying to catch my breath. So it wasn't a dream? I closed my eyes tightly, afraid tears might come again. No, no, no!
"I think it'd be best if we call this short, I'll see you tomorrow then," Kukai said with a wink in my direction as he turned and started walking in his direction to go home. So I'd see him at school tomorrow? No… it's summer… Ah crap! Tadase's party!
(Later :Location: Hinamori residence)
After I'd taken a shower to cool off my paranoid mind I laid down on my bed with a sigh. Pink strands of my hair got in the way of my angry scowling, directed at the ceiling. Idiot, don't get so excited, you know he won't come, he'd dead… and why do I feel sad and excited to begin with? I like Tadase! Get that in your mind Amu! "Get a grip Amu! He won't show up, just give up!"
"Who won't show up?"
My heart almost hit the ceiling when I heard the voice that was now in my room. A boy's voice… Not my dads… Not Kukai's voice or the princely voice of Tadase. It wasn't any of the neighborhood boys that my mom randomly let in because they were to busy outside our house playing and needed to pee and took a wrong turn…
Over and over…
"I-Ikuto?"
Over and over, I fall for you…
Over and over…
(End Chapter)
Scarlet: SURPRISE!
Amu: Okay… I'm oober confused.
Scarlet: I guess it might have been obvious because all I knew was how I was going to end it…
Ikuto: Yes! I have a chance!
Kukai: Though you said people would know about the pairing in this chapter?
Scarlet: Unexpected things happen… I meant 3rd chapter!
Amu: Don't be Ikuto, don't be Ikuto, don't be Ikuto!
Ikuto: Me, me, me, me, me!
Tadase: Tsukiyomi Ikuto! It will be I who is paired with Hinamori!
Kukai: Who said she'd be paired with you?
Kairi: Why aren't I mentioned yet? Amu will be mine though…
Ikuto: What makes you so cocky kid?
Kairi: Because I confessed first.
Ikuto, Tadase, Kukai: … Shit…
Scarlet: Well anyways! Loves! I still want those 5 reviews though!!
