Chapter 4
Recap;
Normal POV
"I can't believe I ever loved that pathetic cat, believing in me even though he saw all of that, he should just wake up. This is me now, I can't turn back anything." Amu said out loud to herself.
It wasn't truly to herself, she didn't realise it, but there was a certain blue cat that was just right behind her.
Ikuto's POV
So, she thinks I'm pathetic…
"Is that how you really feel?" I asked, as she turned around at the speed of light.
"T-Tsukiyomi Ikuto?" she yelled.
End of Recap~
Normal POV
Amu gasped as she stood before Ikuto himself, but after noticing her dropped mouth she closed it and fixed her character.
"Yo" he looked at Amu as those words dripped with no emotion at all.
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto, it's been a long time since I've heard that name" she stated as her face showed no emotion. Although the new Amu stood before him, Ikuto could read into her feelings. He could see all the emotion shoved into Amu's eyes; hate, anger, sadness, loneliness, and fear. "What was she scared of?" Ikuto thought to himself.
"You can't tell lies to me Amu, you must have thought about me all the time" he playfully answered her. She smirked, "You honestly believe I would waste my time thinking about some useless cat, who really should just have stayed away" she replied.
"I thought you wanted me to come back Amu," he smirked, "I missed you so terribly, all I could think about was coming back and hugging you and kissing you and everything else" He looked down at Amu whose face hadn't changed the slightest, which was a surprise to him. No screaming out that he was a pervert, No yelling, No tripping, Not even a light blush on her pale cheeks. Ikuto then knew that Amu had definitely changed.
"You're so pathetic. Tadase shouldn't have called you a thieving cat but a stupid pathetic one that is in need a good beating" she smirked. His eyes opened widely but then he smirked too, "So you really have changed, well then you give me no choice" Ikuto stated. Amu turned her head back towards Ikuto, "What?"
"I guess I'll have to fight against you from now on" he stated. Amu sighed and turned to walk away, "Do what you like" and with that Amu had walked away.
Ikuto's POV
I stood there, not believing what had just happened. My little strawberry was no longer herself. What else could I do but follow her? So there I was, following behind her as she entered her school. She kept walking through the school gardens as I wondered more and more where she was going, She couldn't possibly be going to the Royal Garden was she?
And yet she was and walked right inside.
I hid behind that old huge tree in the royal garden, the one I had hid behind many times before if I was spying.
"Hey guys!" Amu beamed as she walked towards a bunch of very confused looking faces.
Normal POV
Amu walked up and sat down on the empty seat; her old seat. "So what were you all talking about?" she asked as if nothing had changed from three years back.
"Hinamori Amu! What are you doing here?" Tadase declared. Amu put on a confused look, "What do you mean?" she asked, as the guardians grew even more confused.
"About that, I have to explain things to you all, I never got a chance to before. Truth is that my parent's and Ami moved away three years back and I didn't want to move away, so I stayed with my uncle who is the new founder of Easter. He was horrible and threatened me, he told me that if I didn't do all of that, my parent's and my friends would all be killed. I felt like I had no choice, so I locked my true self away that day and I promised myself that I would never unlock it again until I was free. I've realised lately that my heart and my true self is still there, and so I ended up becoming more and more like my old self again. I tried to hide it all by acting tough and still that evil way but I promise you that I'm back to the way I was before. I know you can never truly forgive me for what I've done but I just came to say that I'm truly sorry for everything." she lied. Joanne had written out that speech for her after concocting this evil plan.
The guardians all shared a look with each other, but Nagihiko was the first one to speak, "I forgive you Amu" he spoke as shock rose in Rima's eyes. Rima knew something was strange about Nagihiko's sudden forgiveness.
Nagihiko smiled down at Rima, "I just think everyone deserves another chance, especially since we all know what Amu was like, and we all know that she is capable of becoming her old self again." he smiled at Amu.
Even Amu herself was a little shocked at how Nagihiko suddenly forgave Amu.
Rima glared suspiciously towards Amu and Nagihiko.
"If Nagi-tan forgives her then I do to!" Yaya shouted. Yaya smiled and gave Amu a thumbs up. "I believe Amu is being honest and so I to will forgive her" Kairi announced as Yaya hugged him which made Kairi blush a little. Yes you guessed it, Kairi and Yaya are now going out, and also if you failed to notice Rima is dating Nagihiko. "I believe you, Hinamori-san" Kukai agreed with a thumbs up. I looked at Tadase and Rima as they just glared back.
"huh? Don't you two believe Hinamori?" Kukai asked curiously.
"A person can't just change like magic. I do not believe she has changed. Don't you remember everything she did? Everything she put us through? I don't believe someone that was so cruel could ever change" Tadase explained.
Everyone then looked at Rima who was just glaring at Nagihiko with death eyes.
"I guess I could go along with Nagihiko on forgiving you" she spoke, Rima still didn't take her eyes off Nagihiko. No one else noticed except Rima, but ever since Amu came into the royal garden, Nagihiko's eyes are now a deep blue instead of purple. It was hard to notice the difference, but she saw it. "What happened?" she thought to herself.
Normal POV
"Nagihiko, do as I say, you will follow Amu, you will tell no one of this change, and you will obey everything I say" Emma whispered into a voodoo doll that strangely looked a lot like Nagihiko. Emma put down Nagihiko's doll and opened the box in front of her which revealed dolls of Rima, Yaya, Tadase, Kairi, Kukai, and Utau. "They have no idea what's coming to them" Emma said still with no emotion dripping from her face.
She got up after putting Nagihiko into the box and carried the box over to her shelf however before she got there she tripped over something lying on the floor which made Emma fall to the floor; dropping all the dolls of the guardians. Her face still stayed emotionless as she tripped but as she looked at what had tripped her up, her face finally showed the littlest emotion of sadness. It was a doll, a boy voodoo doll, it was a boy with short black hair. It had many holes stabbed into the doll and was wasted with the amount of times Emma had ripped, pulled, and stabbed it. Emma sighed and went through to a door on the other end of her room which opened into her bathroom. She locked the door and ran the shower. The door had the writing, "DANGER AREA" on it. Who could ever imagine what was dangerous about a bathroom….
Tadase's POV
What's happening? I feel like I'm falling in love with her shinning eyes all over again, this can't be happening. She is evil and now always will be, there's no way she could've changed back, right?
"Let's go get some ice cream to celebrate Tadase!" Yaya beamed as Yaya dragged me along to the ice cream van.
"We'll have three vanilla cones, one chocolate cone, One mint cone, and one strawberry cone please" Yaya ordered at the van when we arrived. Rima, Nagihiko and myself took the vanilla cone's. Kukai took the chocolate, Kairi took the mint which left the traitor with the strawberry.
"Thank you minna!" Amu 'beamed'. I couldn't believe her lies, she had to be just playing a joke on all of us.
I looked at her as our eyes finally met together at once, "Tadase-kun, why won't you forgive me? Everyone else has, and to be honest I really don't deserve it but will you ever forgive me?" Her words shot through me, was I really thinking too much? What if everything was not what I though, what if Amu really has changed back, what if these whole three years of fighting her has been for nothing. Maybe we didn't need to hate her for anything. She was one of my best friends.
With that I decided, "Hinamori-san" I called as she turned around, "I forgive you" I smiled. She smiled back at me, but no blush appeared on her face. She always blushes…
I guess I'm thinking too much into this…
I smiled and laughed with everyone else as we ate our ice cream to celebrate the return of our lost friends.
Let's just hope she was back for good…
Normal POV
After a full day packed with a celebration for Amu's return everyone said their goodbyes as they headed home. Rima turned around to see Amu, "You're not going back to Easter are you?" she asked curiously. Amu sighed, "What other choice do I have, they are the only family I have to live with, besides if I don't David will have a whole army out looking for me.
"No! Don't go back there" Yaya yelled, "They might change you back again" she worriedly called.
"Don't worry Yaya, I'll be fine. You can trust me can you?" she asked, as Yaya nodded.
Amu's POV
"Everyone here trusts you isn't that right minna?" Yaya declared with tears running down from her eyes. I turned and looked at everyone, as they all nodded back at me. Pathetic…but I had to play along.
"Alright then, I promise that tomorrow morning I will return to you the same person that I am today" She declared as Yaya cheered up a bit.
"Be careful on your way back!" Yaya yelled as I turned around to start walking but something turned me back, and it wasn't Yaya. I turned to see the happiness on my friends' faces as they thought I was by their side again. My heart stopped beating for that one quarter of a millisecond, I felt the first feeling of happiness I had felt for three years. It felt so good.
No… I can't think about that, They don't care for me. They never did and never will… They kept those secrets from me! How could they? After everything we had done together?
I turned around and walked away as a smirk formed on my face, "Foolish" I thought.
20 minutes later…
After a while of walking I came across a flash of blue…
"Miss me already?" I asked him. Ikuto stood there with shook in his eyes.
"You're lying to them all, you really have changed" he spoke.
"So What are you going to do about it?" I declared. He was taken aback by my actions.
"I could always tell Tadase" he announced. I smirked as I saw Drew approach behind Ikuto. "Do what you like"
He was confused, why did she say, 'do what you like'?
"What did you say th-" he was struck as Drew came up from behind and used his special powers. He grabbed Ikuto by the arm and whispered in his ear, "Reino just fall" and with that Ikuto's eyes turned grey as he also fell to the floor.
Drew's special power is the power to make people do anything. Saying the two words, 'Reino just' and then his command.
All members of his family had powers, special powers that they got at some time I their lives. Joanne had the power to erase memories, David had the power to read minds, and as for Emma, her power is still unknown to me. I know that she has a power, but she or any of her family has ever told me what it is.
"Emma is waiting for you at the building, you go ahead and I'll deal with him" he spoke as I understood. He was going to kill him…
Ikuto…
"D-don't" I stuttered. Drew looked confused, "Don't what?" he asked. I looked down at Ikuto with sadness in my eyes. I didn't want him to die, please don't kill him!
I could tell that just by my simply looking down at Ikuto, Drew knew exactly what I meant.
"You don't want this pathetic waste to die?" he asked. I thought about it…
What would life be like if Ikuto were to die here tonight. By Drew just simply saying the words, 'Reino just die' he would be gone. What would life be like without Ikuto?…
"Since when do you have the authority to tell me who I can and cannot kill" he declared. I stuttered, "I-I wasn't t-telling you to, I w-was s-simply asking." I whispered the last word., I was scared to let my true feelings show.
But I'm afraid by showing that I truly care about Ikuto I may have sealed his fate.
Forgive me Ikuto…
And with that I ran away…
I couldn't watch this happen, I couldn't watch Ikuto as he dies.
I ran and ran and after reaching Easter I ran straight to my room, lay on my bed and cried. It had been the first time I had cried in so long, near enough three years.
But I soon stopped as I heard water underneath me. It was a shower running. I'm pretty sure the room beneath me is Emma's.
It wasn't just the shower I heard though, It was only for a short minute, but I heard cries coming from her room downstairs.
I must have been imagining it though, right?
Emma; Another chappie complete! (:
Ikuto; I really don't like you anymore -.-
Amu; Neither do I -.-
Emma; WHY? :'(
Ikuto WHY DO YOU THINK?
Emma; What do you mean?
Amu; Ikuto is about to die!
Emma; oh man not this again, once again I will tell you this… IT'S JUST A STORY, IT'S NOT REAL!
Ikuto; oh that's good !
Amu; This story makes me want to cry!
Ikuto; Aww is that because I'm dying? Don't worry Amu it's just a story, I'm still alive ;)
Amu; Creep! And actually I meant because my I'm hurting all my friends!
Emma; -.- I still don't think Amu has grasped hold of the fact the story isn't real!
Ikuto; Amu always is slow at getting things!
Amu; How am I? :O
Ikuto; 74 episodes I waited and you couldn't tell that I was in love with you! I had to confess and you still didn't get it!
Amu; Well actually that was because I didn't believe you not because I didn't get it!
Ikuto; Same difference!

Tadase; Oh hey I heard you were all doing this and wanted to Joi-
Emma; *Get's bat out and Hits Tadase*
