HI! I updated the next chapter! Thanks for those of you who reviewed! And if you haven't please review. I will probably start including songs starting from the next chapter. Now onto the story! Enjoy!

"Operation Departure?" questioned Amu

"You know, an excuse for your parents, which is you getting a 3 year scholarship deal in London , and paperwork for your school"

"I see" said Amu

"But whether you want to tell the guardians the truth or not is your choice"

Amu thought about that for a second, but then decided to think about it later.

"We will be departing tomorrow early in the morning, so you have one day left with your friends and family"

"What! Only one day? But that's not enough time!" said Amu panicking.

"Well, the guardians are going to be holding off the Xeggs for 3 years until you fully train"

"But how will they do that?" said Amu

"Well, you see, the radioactive wave will take 3 years to reach Earth's core, and then reflect to the surface, so for now, everyone is safe and new X eggs and X creatures won't appear."

Amu sighed in relief.

'So they're safe and I have 3 years to become immensely strong…' she thought.

~~~~~~~~After School~~~~~~~

Amu was uneasy the whole time during school….and as she was she undid all those questions in her mind. Her uncertainty was overcome with her determination and sense of protection. The founding king had been informed about situation, and called her during one of her classes and told her that she could have the chance to tell the guardians afterschool during the Guardians meeting, as well as wished her good luck and said goodbye.

Amu walked into the Royal Garden, knowing all too well that it was her last time for the next three or so years. She saw that all the Guardians were here, including Kukai, and they all had confused looks on their faces. They all greeted each other and sat down. Amu was thinking about how to put it into words, that she's leaving for three years to prepare for an upcoming war. Tadase spoke, causing Amu to snap back to reality.

"Amu chan did something happen? The founding King asked us all to assemble here and said that you might have something to tell us"

"Yes, well, this might come sudden but…Tadase, do you know about the upcoming war?" said Amu looking directly at him

Everyone gasped. Apparently everyone but her knew about the war, but Amu decided to not think about that and get to the point.

"Who told you about that?" questioned Kukai.

"Well then I'm guessing everyone knows so, let's not go into details now. Look…" Amu took a deep breath.

"I'm leaving for three years to go train to become stronger in time for the war and I'll be gone by tomorrow morning!" said Amu all in one breath.

"WHAT!" everyone said.

"I thought something like this would happen, but for three years? And you're leaving tomorrow?" said Tadase.

"Amu you're leaving?" asked a totally shocked Rima

"YAYA IS SO CONFUSED!" said Yaya (obviously) not getting any of this.

"I'll miss everyone!" said Amu and then she started hugging everyone. Kukai gave her a rather strong goodbye hug.

And then she hugged the last person…Tadase. As they broke their hug Tadase kissed her cheek. (A/N Don't Worry this is an Amuto story. It's just that here Amu is still in the –I have a crush on Tadase- stage) Amu blushed.

"Amu-chan….do your best!"Said Tadase giving her another hug.

"Bye Amu-chan" Said Nagihiko

"Good luck Hinamori!" said Kukai giving thumbs up

Yaya couldn't say anything because she was crying and clinging onto Amu at the moment.

"But do you have to leave now? You said you were going tomorrow morning." Said Rima, who was on the verge of tears.

"Unfortunetly, I still have to talk to my parents and pack all my things" said Amu giving an apologetic smile.

"Make sure to come back to us!" yelled Rima and gave Amu another hug.

"Bye everyone! Remember I'll be back in three years, so don't be sad!"

"Don't forget us!" said Yaya, and Amu remembered that Yaya was still clinging onto her leg so she made Yaya stad up.

"I promise, no matter what, I will never forget you guys. You guys are my best friends and nothing will change that" said Amu

"Ran, Miki, Su, Dia! It's time to go!"

The charas then hugged each other one last time and came over to Amu.

"Bye everyone!" and with that, Amu left the Royal Garden.

Amu went home and talked to her parents, and she supposedly received a three year scholarship from London to the school of her dreams.

"Oh my little sparrow is leaving the nest way too early!" cried Amu's father, but Amu knew just what to tell him to calm him down.

"I promise you there will be no boys!" And just as Amu said that, her father gave her a big bear hug.

"Oh thank goodness!" he said.

Amu left to pack her things, and her mother offered to help, which allowed her to be done by dinner. Amu and her family had a big 'Goodbye Amu' dinner.

Amu went to her room, which was now only the furniture without any items. Two suitcases lay on the ground near the balcony. One was pink, and the other was black. Amu lay on her bed, enjoying it's warm feel for the last time for the next three or so years. Amu looked at the balcony, remembering the first time Ikuto visited her, which was the time she spat out the milk and was in a towel. Amu chuckled at the memory.

'Ikuto…I wonder where you are right now…' Amu wondered (A/N Ikuto already found his dad and they live together in a house, oh and Easter is good now.)

'Will he miss me? Wait why am I thinking this…but I will surely miss him." Amu sighed, and just like that she fell asleep with the warm thoughts about a certain blue haired cat-man.
