Hey guys! Here it is, back by popular demand, Let Me Heal Your Scars! I actually got quite a few comments saying you guys wanted this to continue, and quite a few people had favourited it and started following it. (following it? That sounds weird.)

Amu: And we're back too, by popular demand!

Lilyflower991028: Well, not really by popular demand...

Amu: What?

Lilyflower991028: Nothing~!

Amu: Hey, where's Ikuto? I thought he would be meowing by now or something.

Lilyflower991028: Well...I told him a secret, and he's pretty mad about it...

Amu: Ooh, can I hear?

Lilyflower991028...Ok, but it's a really big secret... *whisper whisper*

Amu: O.O WHAT?!

Lilyflower991028: What are you so mad for? You don't care, right~? You don't like him, do you?

Amu: ...

Lilyflower991028: Ok guys, that's all the clues you get. Anyways, I'm trying to write longer friggin chapters. So enjoy!

Amu POV

As I was about to take off my shirt, I heard Ikuto mumble and felt my heart start to quicken. 'Ok, it's much safer in the bathroom,' I thought taking my clothes and running out of the bedroom.

Ikuto POV

The sunshine was making me uncomfortable. Sure, it was warm before, but now it was less...comfortable. I yawned and slowly opened my eyes, looking at the unfamiliar room. 'Oh right, last night..." I remembered. Then I realised that Amu had disappeared from my arms. I was slightly worried, but I knew she had to go to university. I sighed. 'Why does she want a different job? I thought this one was perfectly fine...' I thought, feeling my mood already get worse.

I yawned again, this time getting out of the bed. I stretched my arms and walked out the door.

Sure enough, Amu was awake and in the bathroom, probably changing or something. I walked down the stairs in hope to find something something to eat; maybe something to wake me up. I opened the cupboard. 'No cereal? That's strange...it was there yesterday," I thought. I looked through the fridge. Nothing...? Amu walked downstairs.

"Is something wrong?" She asked politely.

"There's no food."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded my head. She rummaged through the cupboards and the fridge and mumbled.

"You are right..."

'She speaks so formally...why can't she just be casual around me?' I thought sadly.

"Want to go to a restaurant?" I asked. I chuckled silently at her reaction. She looked speechless, her eyes wide and her mouth open. I had a sudden urge to rush to her lips, but pushed it back. If I did something like that...she would probably hate me. Or not return my feelings.

"If that is alright with you. I do not want you to use your money for me," she said, looking away.

"Don't worry, it's fine," I said reassuringly. She smiled at me, sending chills down my spine. "Does Ami want to come?"

Amu blinked at me, as if she had forgotten about her sister.

"O-oh, yeah, sure!" She nodded.

"Did somebody say my name?" Ami came down the stairs.

"How'd you hear me?" I chuckled, ruffling her hair. She giggled and smiled. "Want to go to a restaurant? There isn't any food left. Which is kinda strange..." I muttered the last bit. Ami's expression was unreadable for a moment as she looked away, but turned back and nodded her head.

Ami POV

I awkwardly avoided Ikuto's view and remembered what I had done. I turned back and nodded my head. He smiled. I looked over at Amu, who was obviously still clueless as to why Ikuto and I were so close.

I felt kinda sorry for Ikuto. He would never have a definite answer from Amu. He would either have to make her love him now, or make her remember him. But either way, Amu still liked that kiddy king, Tadase. But Tadase was in their way...both of them...Ikuto and Amu...

I sighed. It wasn't really Tadase's fault, so I had no reason to hate him. When would that dense Amu finally realise? Did she really not notice how similar the two Ikuto's were?

They're the same god damn people, Amu! Realise it, before Ikuto gives up on you...

I had tried to get them together by taking all the food out so they would spend more time together and go to a restaurant, but the plan had different endings. They would either get together, become great friends, or drift further apart.

TIME LEAP

Amu POV

I looked, awe-struck, at the food on the table.

"A-are you sure this is alright for me to eat um...s-sir?" I asked, unsure of what to call him. He nodded and smiled, sending this strange feeling inside me.

"Go ahead and eat," he said to Ami. She smiled and obliged, starting on her small bowl of chilli udon with pieces of pork. Ikuto started eating his soy udon, and I decided to oblige and start eating my loose udon with beef pieces. 'He's being strangely kind...' I thought. He would usually smirk, or at least pop out a snide remark. Was he thinking about...yesterday? I shuddered at the memory and decided not to think about it.

Ikuto called a waiter over.

"May we please have a jar of water, and three cups?" He asked. The waiter looked over at me, momentarily staring. Then he smiled at me, one they say 'could blind you'. I awkwardly smiled back. He looked at me like I was the cutest thing in the world. I felt...flattered, but disturbed.

"I'll be right back," he said, his smile growing even bigger. I don't know why, but I looked over at Ikuto. For help, maybe? But when I did, I found him looking out the window and seeming really pissed off.

"I-is something wrong, sir?" I asked him. He coldly glared at me.

"It's nothing," he said, turning back to the window like it was more interesting than me. 'Did I do something wrong?!' I thought, irritated and worried.

But I knew I couldn't say anything; he was giving me food and shelter. I had to be polite, or there wouldn't be anywhere to stay for Ami. I didn't want that kind of a life for her.

The waiter came back with the water and cups. He purposely brushed against me as he put the cup down.

"Oh, sorry," he smiled widely at me, making me squirm.

"Ok, I've had enough of this!" Ikuto shouted, making the waiter turn his attention to him. It made me less uncomfortable, but I could sense that something bad was going to happen.

The waiter only smirked, making Ikuto even more angry.

"Is something the matter?" He asked calmly, a smirk still glued to his face. Now everyone was watching us, which made me feel extremely embarrassed. But what could I do? Ikuto might not be happy with me if I interjected.

"Yeah. I want you to stop drooling over her!" Ikuto pointed at me. 'Huh?' I thought, looking up at him and the waiter.

"Drooling over her? Is there something wrong with greeting my customers with a smile? I don't think I need to be scolded over being nice to her," the waiter said. Now he was getting irritated.

"Oh, whatever! It was pretty damn obvious you were flirting with her!" Ikuto shouted. I felt helpless. 'What am I supposed to do?' I thought.

"Oh? And why do you care? Are you her boyfriend or something? By the way she was speaking with you, I highly doubt it," said the waiter, his smirk returning to his face.

Ikuto raised a fist, and I just stood still. What was this feeling?

"Alright, children, that's enough," Ami interjected. I blinked at her. She smiled at me reassuringly, and I couldn't help but feel she was the older one.

"Children?!" The waiter and Ikuto turned to glare at her.

"Yes, children. Cause if you weren't children, you would've been more mature and settled this like adults. Creating a scene isn't exactly mature, if you ask me," Ami said, pointing at the rest of the customers.

"Tch. Whatever. Let's go, Amu, Ami," Ikuto said, grabbing my hand, Ami following us.

"Iku...to..." I said hesitantly. As we drove off, he sighed. I wanted to say something, I really did, but I didn't think he wanted to hear it from me.

TIME LEAP

Ikuto got out of the car, followed by Ami and me.

"Ikuto...w-what was that all about?" I managed to stutter. He sighd and rubbed his temples with one hand.

"Are you really sure you don't know?" He asked, glaring at me. 'D-did I do something wrong?' I thought.

"I-I don't kn-know..." I said, squirming.

"It was your fault too, you know!" Ikuto said, his voice getting louder.

"Wh-wha-"

"He was all over you, and you didn't do anything! Why didn't you stand up for yourself? I know it was his fault, but it was partly yours as well!"

"Ikuto!" Ami said, trying to stop him. I don't know why, but water started dripping down my cheeks.

"I'm s-sorry..." I managed through sobs. Before he could say anything else, I ran up the stairs and closed my bedroom door, sliding down to the floor and remembering horrible memories.

Ikuto POV

"He was all over you, and you didn't do anything! Why didn't you stand up for yourself? I know it was his fault, but it was partly yours as well!" I shouted. I knew it wasn't Amu's fault, but I couldn't help myself. And then she started crying.

"Ikuto!" Ami shouted at me. I immediately regretted it.

"I'm s-sorry..." Amu almost whispered. I reached for her.

"A-" she ran up the stairs and shut her bedroom door. Ami glared at me and ran towards Amu's bedroom. I sighed. 'Why did I do that?' I thought.

Ami POV

I glared at Ikuto. 'That idiot!' I thought, irritated. I clenched my fist and ran up to Amu's room. 'He had no idea! He has no idea how much she went through! Can't he be at least a little bit considerate?! I thought he went through the same things, but I guess he's just an idiot!' I thought. I knocked softly on Amu's door.

"Big sis?" I asked gently. I could her her sobbing. 'That day hasn't vanished from her mind yet...' I thought, understanding her pain.

"She's up there now...she'll be alright...I know...that she's resting in peace," I whispered, hoping that Amu would hear me.

FLASHBACK

Amu POV

Their footsteps were getting louder. Why were we being chased? Were they going to kill us?

"A cornfield! Let's go!" Saki whispered to us, running in. Ami and I followed, hoping we would lose the men and get out safely. Saki gripped Ami's hand tightly.

"The cornfield! Let's go, men!" One of the men shouted. I looked back and saw their flash lights shining so close to us. I picked up my speed and turned back around. My eyes widened. 'Crap!' I thought. I had lost them.

'Where are you? Saki, Ami?' I thought, getting worried. All I had done was look back, and now I had lost them. Great. A flash light was getting closer to me. I spotted a tractor and dove behind it.

I found a sword. 'A sword?' I thought, confused. I guess this place had...an interesting past. The voices were getting closer, and the light was right behind me.

I started trying to pull out the sword. The flash light was getting closer. Much closer. 'Get out, damn it!' I thought. The person was right behind me now. 'Get out!'

Lilyflower991028: Hey guys! Not much off a cliffhanger, was it? I think...

Ami: Damn that Ikuto Tsukiyomi!

Amu: *Sob sob* It's fine...Ami...

Lilyflower991028: It's fine?! Ikuto, get your ass out that corner and apologise!

Ikuto: ...

Amu: *sob sob* Saki...I'm so sorry...It was my fault, so I understand...

Ami: Sh...it's alright, it was a mistake. I'm sure Saki understood. Plus, she's living a happier life now. She's resting in peace.

Lilyflower991028: ...I'm sorry Amu...for making you go through so much.

Amu: Don't worry about it...

Ikuto: ...

Amu: Review...
