A Shugo Chara Fiction :D Reverse Lives with a Twist

A Reverse of Amu and Ikuto

Amu: cuteanime does not own Shugo Chara!


Chapter 3

Ikuto's POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Aniki and Amu being best friends must be the most terrifying pair because knowing them; they'd prank the teachers 24/7 if they could. Both of them were smart and at the top of their class, so even if the teachers call on them to answer the hardest questions they'd do it without fail. I pity the teachers that were teaching the class, but how come aniki never mentioned her until now? Did something happen between them?

"Hey, if she was your childhood friend then, why did I never met her before?" I was still shuddering at my previous thought.

"Well, whenever we did projects or homework we usually went to her house to finish it. We also go to the park a lot to play the violin together since her father, a famous violinist taught us how to play. That," he pointed at the violin, "belonged to her father. It's really precious to her because her father left it for her before he disappeared."

"Disappeared? What do you mean by disappeared?" I was curious because I never heard Amu talk about her father at all and she always seem to have a melancholic air around her.

"Hmm… how should I put this… He left one day leaving no note and only his violin, but guessing this he probably left to fulfill his dream. To become a world wide famous violinist and to play in a orchestra." Aniki looked distant when he explained to me, but I still think something happened, but said nothing, "After that incident, a few months later she moved away without telling me…"

"Um… wouldn't she tell you since you two were best friends? Did something happen?" Now this got my attention. I never knew about Amu's family or past, so this is my chance.

"Hmm… you're a curious one aren't you, otouto? (A/N: otouto means younger brother)" He smirked, "Well I guess I'll tell the whole story starting in our senior year in elementary school…"


Flashback

Aruto's POV

I was sitting at my desk waiting for my best friend to come, so we could discuss about our project before class started. I was going to fall asleep waiting for her, but then I felt something cold touch my cheek. I turned around and saw Amu standing there holding chocolate milk – my favourite drink.

"Hey, morning." I took the offered beverage and took a sip, delicious!

"Morning. Hey, can I come to your place and do some homework? We'll work in your room secretly, so we don't bother your parents and your new baby sister." She suggested smiling.

"Sure, but how are you gonna do that?" Really what is she planning to do, she can't get in… unless she … Ryu'll be happy about this…

"Oh, I'll character change with Yoru and leap onto your balcony and you let me in and I'll leave before dinner. Sounds great to me."

I just sighed and gave a nod.


~o~o~

RIIINNNNGGG!

It was now lunch so we both headed to the cafeteria to get lunch. I went to get a table and waited for Amu to buy the lunch for us. While I waited I stared at the school beauty, Tamako Hotori, but I was snapped out of it after Amu waved a melon bread in front of my face.

"Pal, stop gawking at her. Really, why do all the guys like her? What's so good about her?" She was fuming because she hates Tamako's guts.

"Well, she is pretty, nice, and angelic." I was staring again.

"Hmph! I don't know what's so nice and angelic of her. To me, she's a demon. I HATE her!" I could see fire burning in her eyes now.

"Amu, you should try to get to know her better. You're childhood friends with her right? Can you… help me ask – " I was cut off by Amu's loud outburst.

"No way! I'll never do that even if you are my best friend and you like her, Aruto because I… I…"

"I…" I probed her.

"I… because I don't like her, so I won't talk to her. Hmph!" Amu stomped away fuming to herself.

I saw them talking together once in the hallway, so I thought Amu was helping me to get Tamako, but that is where it went downhill.

The next day was a weekend so I was hoping to go to the park to learn violin again with Amu. I saw her sitting on the bench hugging her father's violin so I went up to her and asked, "Hey, Amu, where's your dad?"

Then she burst into tears. I didn't know what to do so I hugged her and she told me what happened. After that I bought both of us ice cream and she finally smiled. She told me that she would definitely go search for her father after she finished school, so I encouraged her.


~A few months later near graduation~

It was on a weekend at my house and I was surprised to see Tamako at my door instead of Amu. I let her in and she told me she loves me. I was shocked, but at the same time happy because I really loved her. What I didn't expect was to hear her say that Amu used to bully her when they were younger when I asked her if she knew why Amu hated her so much. I couldn't believe it, but why would she lie? I couldn't be sure until I asked Amu myself. I heard a knock at the door so I told Tamako to stay in my room to play our first date.

It was Amu, but she didn't look herself today. I wonder what happened that she actually used the door today instead of jumping to my balcony like always.

"Hey, Amu, what's up?" I asked with a smile.

"…Hey…um… I have something important to tell you…" she looked sad I noted.

"Oh, me too! I'll go first!" I wanted to cheer her up and to see her smile again.

"…sure…"

"I'm now officially dating Tamako Hotori. Thanks for the help, I knew you'd ask her for me." I assumed since I saw her talking to her last time.

"…Huh? I didn't help you… I told you that I hate her…but… congratulations…" She smiled for me, but I knew she didn't like the idea of me dating Tamako, so I found this the right time to ask her.

"Hey, Amu, answer me honestly on this."

"Sure… shoot."

"Um… is it true that you always bullied Tamako until she cried when you were younger?" I saw shock flash through her eyes.

"W-What? What would make you think that? Is it… that demon…?" she stuttered.

"Tamako's not a demon! So what if she told me, just answer my question!" I shouted.

"I never bullied her at all! She's the one that bullied me until I cried just because I was a geek!" she cried defending herself from my accusations.

"Amu…how do I know this isn't a lie since you even lie to your parents sometimes. Tamako is just too nice to bully someone…" I looked down my bangs covering my eyes.

"A-Aruto… you would b-believe t-that demon over your best…f-friend?"

"I'm sorry, Amu, I just can't believe you anymore… Tamako is my girlfriend now… so please stop calling her a demon… or… we're not friends anymore." I think the last statement went a bit too far because I could see the hurt in her now emotionless eyes that use to sparkle with mischief.

"So that's how it is…then … I'm sorry, Aruto I can't do this. So, good… bye." She turned away from my house and character changed with Yoru and sped away.


~ Next week at school~

Amu hadn't spoken to me since then and I started to hang out more with Tamako's friends. They were really nice people and I sometimes saw Yoru hanging around Amu and sending me death glares. Did I do something wrong? I ignored it and continued on with my life growing farther apart from Amu.

The most shocking came when it was the last week of school and I didn't see Amu anywhere. She didn't even come to school. Where was she? Then the teacher came in and announced, "Hinamori-san has stopped coming because she is moving away to another district and she didn't want to tell anybody during the exam period. So she won't be graduating with us."

"Where is she moving to and when is she leaving?" a student asked.

"She didn't tell me, but she said she would continue her education in her new home. She left last night on a plane. Ok no more questions, class time…"

I couldn't believe she didn't tell me something this important and left without even saying a good bye to her… friend. Did she even consider me as … her friend … anymore? She did tell someone where she went with her family, right? She must have some friends.

I asked around the school and everyone just said that I should know. Then I asked Ryu my chara, "Hey, Ryu, do you know why no one knows where Amu left to? She would of told her friends right?"

Ryu faced palmed and floated over to stand in front of my face. "Baka, she has no friends. She's a geek remember and in this school geeks are all isolated."

"But she must have at least a few geek friends. Doesn't she…?" I was kind of losing hope.

"Um… let's see…she did have one…" I cut him off.

"Then who is it?" I was getting impatient with him not getting to the topic.

"YOU…genius!" He emphasized, "you were her only friend because everyone thought she was a geek that was too smart to be acknowledged and bullied her behind your back. YOU were the one who left her friendless." He lectured me, "Yoru told me all this, you know. He said you abandoned her for your girlfriend turning her into an emotionless doll. She no longer smiles as much now and – "

"ARUTO! Nya!" it was Yoru's voice so Amu must be near here, "I came here by Amu's request to tell you that you can be happy now without her to call your… girlfriend … names. I'm going to tell you this once, I thought that after meeting you, Amu changed in a good way, but I guess I was wrong. It was a mistake to be friends with you. If I new you were going to ditch Amu for the demon, I'd never let her be your friend. You broke her hard, Aruto. Her father left her family, her mother's forced to marry some rich guy and they have to move and now you went and did the final blow."

"Where is she? She's here isn't she?" then I saw a flash of pink at the front gate, "Amu –" Yoru stopped me with an army of cats behind him.

"Don't bother, Aruto. She doesn't want to see you anymore or this place that held many precious, but worthless dreams and hopes. I hope you'll take my advice and don't look for her. Aruto, I hate you…I'll never forgive you for what you did to Amu!" he floated away with the cats still blocking his way. The two began to walk away.

"AMUUUU!" I saw them stop and turn around.

"…" Amu's eyes were no longer full of life, but replaced with emotionless dull honey gold orbs. She turned back and character changed with Yoru and left in a blur.

"Amu…" I fell to the ground. "Was it worth it to lose a good friend to gain a pretty girlfriend knowing your friend hates her guts?"

"Who knows? It's your choice and only time will tell if you will one day regret your decision and it will only be too late." Ryu stated showing no sign of pity.

End flashback


Ikuto's POV

"Yeah, that's the story…" aniki said sighing.

"You sure were harsh to Amu. She has the right to hate you." I really held no pity to him because I at least considered Amu to be a friend, "But she was a geek?"

"Yup, she's smarter than me" he stated smiling, "Hey, she still has her chara right?"

"Yeah, Yoru."

"She's helping your group, right, to purify x-eggs?" he asked still with that smile plastered on his face.

"Actually, she is our enemy, she works for Easter." I bluntly stated shocking aniki even more.

"What? How can that be? She would definitely never do that!"

"Well, time changes people, you know."
