"So would I be out of line…If I said 'I miss you'?" – 'I miss you' by Incubus

- Three Years Later -

Ikuto's P.O.V.:

"Ikuto! Nikaido-sensei says if you miss any more of his classes he's gonna flunk you!" I heard the yell from a familiar boy.

"Dammit! How did you know I was up here?!" I yelled back, glaring at Nagihiko.

Nagihiko had really changed since him and Am— they broke up; he's dating Rima now if I remember correctly. I jumped down from the tree branch I had been resting on; at that moment Kukai runs into me almost knocking me down.

"What the fuck Kukai? Trying stopping before you're a foot away from me!" I growled at him.

"No no! You don't get it, do you?" Kukai exclaimed, waving his hands frantically as he tried to catch his breath.

"Well out with it." Nagihiko sighed, shrugging his shoulders.

"New student! She looks really familiar!" Kukai explained still out of breath.

"How far did you run just to find us?" Nagihiko sighed, again.

"Why did you run all the way here just to tell us there's a new student?" I asked Kukai, really curious as to why he ran just to say something like that.

"She looks so goddamn familiar!!! I mean really, really familiar!!!" Kukai yelled, pointing towards the main entrance of the high school.

I glanced over his shoulder to see a large crowd of students crowding the main entrance; 'Must be a celeb or something…' I made a mental note.

"C'mon we need to get to class especially you…" Nagihiko reminded us, dragging me away from my precious tree.

Yes, I said precious! I like sleeping in it!! Anyways…

"But don't you guys wanna at least see her?" Kukai argued, apparently this girl must look really familiar if Kukai is still going on about it.

"We'll see her soon enough." Nagihiko growled, getting irritated.

"How do you know?" Kukai asked dumbfounded.

"Rima sent me a text saying that she's escorting the new girl around." Nagihiko explained.

I frowned; as I noticed we were entering Nikaido-sensei's classroom.

"Nice of you to join us, Tsukiyomi-san." I heard Nikaido mutter as I passed by him.

I sat back in my seat, idly bored out of my mind already; Nikaido's voice brought me back as he announced, "Okay Class! We have a new student! Let's welcome Hina—" I sat forward in my seat, "—mori Amu-san!" He added with his usual goofy grin on his face.

After he was done with the introduction, a girl with strawberry pink hair walk into the room followed shortly by Rima, Nagihiko's girlfriend. I was on the edge of my seat, staring at Amu!

She's back…?! Amu is back…? She came back…

"You can have the vacant seat by Tsukiyomi-san." Nikaido-sensei pointed up at me.

Amu's eyes never left the floor as she walked to the back of the room, sitting down beside me with a bored expression on her face. Out of the corner of m eye, I saw Rima take her seat beside Nagihiko; I turned my attention on the girl next to me… well sort of, I kept eyeing her studying her… Sounds kind of stalker-ish when I say it like that, huh? Either way, I wanted… no needed to see if it was really her!

"Do you mind?!" I heard her growl at me.

"Sorry… You remind me of someone that's all." I apologized, turning my attention back to the teacher.

Amu's P.O.V.:

What the hell is this guy's problem? He hasn't fully taken his eyes off of me for a second!

"Do you mind?!" I growled at him, trying to keep my bored façade going.

"Sorry… You remind me of someone that's all." I heard him respond.

My façade broke for a moment as I stared at him curious; now that I look at him he did look a little familiar! I turned my head to avoid staring at him, not noticing the glares from a couple of girls in my class were giving me. Where have I seen him?? Who does he remind me of…?

I had been so in-tuned with my thoughts that I hadn't heard the bell ring; a hand on my shoulder brought me back. I looked up to see the boy who had been sitting next to me during class standing beside me.

"Are you coming? Class is over…" He spoke with such a calm voice that sent chills down my spine.

He began walking down the open space between the rows of desk; I followed him seeing the girl who had shown me around the school standing by the door.

Ikuto's P.O.V.:

Sitting in my room at my computer I saw Amu in her room; Yup! It's definitely her! I could see Ms. Hinamori helping her unpack her things. My eyes travelled down to the tree then over to the picture frame on my desk; it was a picture of me and Amu when we first became friends. Amu's mother had taken the picture in their backyard…

Flashback: Eight Years Ago…

"Do I have to? She has cooties!" I argued with my mother.

"Ikuto-dear… Amu and her family are new here… So try and be nice to her." My mother scolded me with a soft smile.

I pouted before glancing over at the small pink-haired girl with pigtails in her hair. I stood in front of her introducing myself: "Tsukiyomi Ikuto."

She just stood there for a moment then a big smile spread across her face; "Ek-to-kun!"

[Pronounced Ikuto but she's too little to say it right…]

"C'mon you two stand closer together." Amu's mother kept telling us.

I moved a little closer to Amu; then Amu did something I wasn't expecting she grabbed my hand and pushed herself closer to me just in time for her mother to snap a picture of us together.

Flashback Over

I laughed, remembering that day then I glanced across from me into Amu's window to see…

"So we're neighbors, huh?" Amu was leaning out her window staring at me with the same bored expression on her face.

"Y-Yeah…" I replied.

"…but shouldn't you remember that…?" I muttered in addition.

"You say something??" I heard her ask me, mildly curious.

"No…" I sighed, getting off my chair leaning out my own window.

"So where did you come from?" I asked her.

"Tokyo…" She responded.

"Ah! Tokyo… Such a big city… So how come you came back to this small town?" I question, not realizing what I had just said.

"Ikuto! Could come here a moment?" My mother's voice rang up the stairs and into my room.

"That's my cue… See ya Amu." I waved to her before disappearing out my bedroom.

I found my mother sitting at the dinner table with Ms. Hinamori; "Tsukiyomi-san! It's been a while." She gasped.

"Yeah… It's good to see you again Ms. Hinamori… So what's going on?" I asked her.

She must have known what I meant: "One night out of the blue, I got a call from her father… Apparently a doctor in Tokyo recommended that she live in a small town like this one until her memory comes back." She explained.

"M-memory…? What do you mean 'until her memory comes back'?"

Ms. Hinamori looked down at the floor with saddened eyes as she whispered in a strain voice, "There was an accident… Amu was the main victim… Apparently according to the doctors who nursed her back to health say that she seem to have forced herself to forget completely about when she was living here. Her mind seems to skip from the moment of me and her father's divorce to when she awoke from the accident. The doctors say there is hope that her memories will come back…"

"So would I be out of line…If I said 'I miss you'?"

Me:: Sorry if I wrote anymore it wouldn't go with the lyric I posted.

Ikuto:: What is with you and the angst drama?! Are you sick or something?

Me:: no no… Just having issues with my boyfriend

Amu:: Poor you

Ikuto:: Poor her?! What about me?

Amu:: Who are you again? *giggles*

Ikuto:: *glares* not funny, Amu

Kukai:: You made me sound like Tadase in this chapter

Nagihiko:: Sucks to be you [© This is my line I said when I saw the long line waiting to get Crispen Freeman's autograph!!]

Tadase:: IMMA A DINOSAUR!!! RAWR!!!
