Chapter 4. Confusion

Ikuto

"She had been here this whole time! All those months and even years of traveling through Europe and America trying to find her…she was just right here!" That's all I could think at the moment. That and how beautiful she looked.

She was so beautiful that I wanted to cry. I had looked for her for so long and now here she was…with another man's arm around her. HE was protecting her from ME when it should be the other way around! It wasn't fair! She had been taken away from ME! She wasn't this Ayame, Ren talked about so much. She was Amu, plain and simple.

She looked at me with those lovely innocent eyes and tilted her head slightly to the side while her hair started to drift off her shoulder slightly until I saw the full length of it. It reached her waist almost, but it was her old strawberry pink color. No more black. She looked stunning and I wanted Amu back. Not Ayame.

I had to remember though that she doesn't remember me anymore. I will have to make her remember no matter what. But Ren, Ren had always been so good to me. When we met I was looking for Amu, not working and basically struggling to even pay for a cup of coffee now and then. But Ren took me in. he helped me and kept me going no matter what. He was my friend.

No! I couldn't think like that! I was the one who loved Amu and he definitely wasn't going to get in my way. But for now I had to have a beginning. Being her friend would have to be that beginning. I cleared my throat and held out my hand with a soft smile playing on my lips.

"It's certainly a pleasure to meet the beautiful and quite talented Ayame, Ren talks about so often." I said as she finally pulled away from my friend and took my hand. I almost lost my cool at the feel of her touch, but I stayed calm. She was here and I had to get her back!

she chuckled softly as Ren tried to pull her back, with no avail. She smiled sincerely and spoke quietly but fluently at first.

"I'm sure I'm not always the center of your conversations with each other. I'm nothing special. Just a girl who was lucky enough to grab the right guy." she said looking towards Ren through the corner of her eye.

That almost killed me. it wasn't true. she didn't love him! If she would just remember…I had to calm down and remember again that she DIDN'T remember and even if she never did, I had to get her back somehow.

"On the contrary," I said clearing my throat again, trying to break the incredible lovey-dovey feeling between the two of them. "You are almost the topic of EVERY conversation we hold. Ren is a very lucky man to have such a spectacular girl." I said looking over Amu.

She didn't notice I was starring but Ren did. He made a few jokes about not touching Amu, even though I know deep down he was 110% serious about keeping my mits to myself, and then decided he had to take off.

"Wait. What?" I asked as Ren started to put on his jacket. Ren snickered at me for a moment then smiled at Amu before going over to kiss her goodbye. I wanted to vomit.

"Don't worry bro," Ren said looking over his shoulder at me. "My girl will keep you company."
