APOV

It had to be Ikuto. That was it. I thought following Yaya up to the trade in desk. I let Yaya, who only had 2 bags, go first and when she was done I tossed my items up on the desk.

It took the woman 20 minutes to get through all of the bags, and got me $200. With a smile on my face I began picking through the racks of clothing. Piling more and more in my arms Yaya caught up with me and we went back fourth between dressing rooms and clothing racks.

After paying for all of our stuff, packing up the car and getting some lunch we went over to the Square, which was deserted today. Both of us marched up to the stage and sat down in the middle, something the guardians did on a regular basis.

"I heard what happened with Tadase." Yaya said, I noticed Chieko(Yaya's second Chara) floating with my 3 Charas.

"That fast huh?" I groaned, not that I was surprised.

"Well you did break his nose." She giggled, "and Saaya told him she never wanted anything to do with him."

I could refrain from the smile that pulled at my lips hearing that. Yaya grinned and then sighed, "what's wrong Amu-chan?"

"That song it reminded me of someone." Yaya looked at me for a moment and then gave me a look to prompt me to speak. "It reminded me of Ikuto. And how badly I treated him and I was just horrible to him." I sighed.

"You were horrid a few times. But I don't think he cared as much as he loved you. Maybe you should go look for him. You know where to start, don't you?"

"He said he was looking for his father. I'm sure Utau would be able to help me find Ikuto."

"Did you just say Ikuto?" a short white-blonde haired girl asked brushing her pink bangs out of her purple eyes, "and is Tsukiyomi Ikuto?"

"I-do you know him?"

"Sort of. I've been looking for him." The girl stepped up the first 2 steps and extended her hand to me, "I'm Hibiki."

Beside me Yaya squealed, "Your Utau's old guitarist!" she squealed with delight, "oh my goodness!"

Hibiki blushed and smiled, "Y-yeah. Anyways, you know where he went?"

"To look for his dad. But that was 5 years ago." I replied.

"His dads in the states; California I think." Hibiki seemed to be talking to herself; behind her a black haired chara with some type of animal ears floated messing with her hair, "If I go-did you say you wanted to look for him?"

"No. she sugg- I do. But I'm not 18 yet."

"You are in two days Amu-chan!" I sighed and looked at my feet.

"I will wait until the 24. If you change your mind. Call me." Hibiki started walking away and Yaya jumped up.

"Can I have your autograph?" Hibiki stopped, turned and nodded. Yaya ran over yanking her notebook out of her backpack and handing it along with a pen, to Hibiki. She quickly signed her name, gave Yaya a hug and walked off at a brisk pace.

"Come on Chiyoko." The tiny chara quickly floated after her settling into the hood of her black Hello Kitty jacket.

After walking silently back to our car and driving in a deafening silence to Yaya's house I was finally alone in the car. I drove home my mind spinning wildly.

Did I want to find Ikuto? I missed him, and I still do.. But do I miss him enough to just leave?

It glanced at my clock, 9:30. With a half hearted yawn I changed into my pajama's and crawled into bed falling into dream land instantly.

The guardians, Utau, and Ikuto were all talking widely about what had happened. Ikuto trailing behind Amu who was off in her own little world.

"Amu." She spun around to face the blue haired guy behind her. "I have a secret to confess." He was right behind Amu and wrapped his arm around her pulling her into his side and kissed her cheek softly. Miki, Ran and Su yelped, whilst Dia giggled with glee. Hearing the chara's Utau and Tadase turned as well and screamed eyes widening.

"Ikuto-niisan!"

"Amu what did you do!" Utau yelled.

"I didn't do a thing! He did it to me!" Amu defended herself, "hey whatdaya think you're-." Ikuto was walking away.

He smirked and turned to look at her over his shoulder, "Later." His cat ears and tails appeared before he hopped off into the night.

A loud beeping jarred Amu out of her sleep, she jerked up, blinked and slammed her hand down on the off button. After sitting in bed for a few minutes she rolled out of her bed, pulled on a pair of jeans and a red and white striped top.

"Amu!"

"I'm going!" I yelled grabbing my school bag and rushing out the door. My car squealed into the parking lot I had 5 minutes to get to class. I dove out of my car and ran toward my classroom. I fell into my chair just as final bell rang and my math teacher closed and locked the door, outside I could hear Tadase banging loudly on the door. Ha. Ha.

In front of the room the lesson began, I spaced out and mindlessly doodled on my paper, falling in and out of sleep.

"Hinamori!" I jerked my head up.

"Yes?"

"The answer?"

I looked up at the board, puzzled, I had no idea. X=10. "X=10?"

"Correct." With a sigh of relief I ducked my head back down and looked at my paper. I had drawn Ikuto on it. Oh goodness. I should go look for him. I will go look for him.

After math I trucked into the office trying my best to look sick, the nurse rushed to my side. "Are you okay dear?"

"I feel faint." I whispered pathetically. Buy it! Please buy it!

"Oh you poor dear! Lay here you can't drive like that!"

"I can get someone to come get me." I murmured laying down.

"Alright." She replied handing me the school phone. I called my dad, spoke to him briefly and he said he'd send a car to get me and someone else to drive it my car back home.

After the men dropped me off I ran up stairs and grabbed a duffle bag filling it with some clothes, then I called Hibiki. She picked up on the second ring.

Whats the verdict?

"I'm going. Can you come get me?"

When?

"I have to sneak out."

Will 3am Sunday work? Today was Friday

"Yes." With that the line disconnected. After hiding the bag carefully under my bed, setting my phone alarm and plugging it in I curled up in my bag and fell asleep.
