Story writing might slow down because my teachers are killing me with homework because of STAR testing and my mom signed me up for all this volunteer crap :\

And I think that all the characters are going to be major O.O.C. as of now... because it's too hard to work with Ikuto's normal personality for this story D:

Oh, and I posted up the links for the songs that Yori and Amu sang on my profile.

And remember: THIS. BE. A. AMUTO. STORY.

____________________________________________________________________________________

"Amu..." Ikuto continued to murmur quietly, even though he figured it out. Yori woke up, and Amu was now gone. Ikuto didn't even bother going to go see Yori, he just went home and flopped onto the couch.

Ikuto didn't know how much time had passed before he heard a quiet knock on the door.

"It's open," he called out without moving from his position in his living room. In walked Yori, who was looking concerned by something.

"Where were you?" she asked. "You weren't there when I woke up, so I came here, and found you... what happened?"

Ikuto didn't answer. Yori's calm and concerned face suddenly broke into one full of pain and anger.

"It's Amu, isn't it." She said flatly, saying it more like a statement than a question. Ikuto's relaxed looking body suddenly stiffened at the mention of Amu, but other than that Yori got no reaction from him. All of a sudden, Yori walked over to stand in front of Ikuto. She pulled him by the shirt and threw him against a wall.

"Hey what was that-" Ikuto began, but was cut off by a big slap in the face from Yori. (A/N. pwned. O_o)

"What is wrong with you?" Yori demanded, but got no answer once again. "It's Amu, isn't it? Forget about her then. When will you wake up and accept the truth!? She's a ghost and you're a human being! The two of you were never meant to be together, no matter how much you guys claim to love each other. When are you going to realize that!?"

"Wait," Ikuto said. "How do you know that she loved me a lot?"

"When she possessed me," Yori explained, still glaring at him. "She could hear all of my thoughts, and I could hear all of hers. Whenever she wasn't thinking of ways to get me killed she was thinking about how much she missed you."
Ikuto sighed.

Ok... I have a feeling that that's not going to help me with my misery much... but at least I now know that Amu cared about me, too...

Ikuto finally remembered that Yori was still standing there, waiting for an answer from him. He stood up and walked back to the couch to go lay down on it again.
"I don't know," he finally answered. "I understand what you're trying to say, and you're probably right. Even so, I can't forget Amu. She was my first and only love, and there's nothing you can say or do to change that. Sorry."

Yori took a step back, hurt filling her face.

"So what was I then?" Yori whispered. "If Amu was your only love...then what about me...? I'm nothing?"

Ikuto didn't answer, and Yori let out a hard laugh.

"What am I saying?" She said, smiling hardly. "I should have known that this would happen. You wouldn't love me for who I actually was. You'd love me because I looked like your precious Amu-chan, huh? But... why can't you just pick me instead...? I mean, I could change for you... I could become Amu for you..."

Yori didn't wait for an answer. She just stood up and left. Ikuto didn't stop her. He walked into his room and lay on the bed.

***** IKUTO POV**** (A/N. normally I wouldn't do this. I would just put his thoughts in italics... but I don't want the rest of the story in quotes so it's officially Ikuto POV) (You could actually skip this part if you want)

Amu... Hinamori Amu. That one girl that disappeared from my life and even after six years, I still can't get her to out of my mind. I remember that day I first met you. I was only two, and you were just born a couple of weeks before. I remember that I had thought of you as the cutest thing ever, even when we were both so little. Then, as soon as you were old enough to walk, you would follow me everywhere. At first I thought it was nice to have someone following me around, but I found it annoying after a while. Now I regret ever thinking that. I would have you follow me everyday, everywhere, if I could have you back. I never told you how annoying I thought you were... so you just continued following me. We went everywhere together, and soon I got used to you following me. We became friends. Best friends, you could say. And then that day. That day you asked me what I would do if you were gone. I promised you that I would look for you, no matter what the cost. I'm sorry, I didn't keep that promise...

After you died... I was miserable. I couldn't think or care about anything that wasn't about you. I completely didn't care that Utau had a small burn on her leg, or that Kukai and Nagihiko each got a couple of bruises and scratches from bumping into each other on the way down. I didn't care... at all. It had nothing to do with you being missing, so it just didn't register in my mind. I had my dad build that memorial for you. Even though he was totally against the whole idea, I used his promise that he would get me anything for him to build it. I shouldn't have. I didn't keep my promise with you, so I shouldn't make promises for others to keep.

Then, six years later, Yori came along. I'm not going to lie. I never liked her, not one bit. I didn't exactly hate her, I hated how much she resembled you. I couldn't bear to see a living reminder of you every day for the rest of that school year. She wanted us to become friends, and I accepted. I have no idea why. I'll just go along with Kukai's idea that I only did it because she reminded me of you.

Yori's mom would constantly tell me that Yori was acting strange, and it bothered her that I didn't notice. I decided to ignore it, since I thought that she was just being paranoid, which was normal for a mom. I didn't realized that she wasn't being paranoid when I saw Yori on the top of the building. The day Yori jumped off the building kind of freaked me out. Before she jumped, she turned around and smiled at me. Only, it wasn't a smile that Yori normally gave me, it was one that you, Amu, normally gave me.

Afterwards, you came back. It's ironic, really. I promised that I would look for you no matter what, and you're the one that comes looking for me. I found out that it was you who was trying to kill Yori, who was possessing her, who was making her admit her feelings for me. I didn't care, though. I was so happy that I could finally see you again. I didn't care that not many people could see you. As long as I could, that was enough for me. But then, you told me that you would be gone once Yori woke up. That crushed my happiness. You tried to make me happy by thinking of all the positive things. I decided to just go along with your plans, even though I wasn't happy. I wouldn't be, until you knew for a fact that we could stay together forever. But, I figured that if you were going to leave again, you might as well leave happy. You wanted to go see your memorial. Naturally, I took you there. We were having a lot of fun there. I asked you to sing again, and you did. Your voice was so beautiful. I remember that when we were little, I would make fun of your voice often. The truth is, I always thought that your voice was the best sounding thing in the world. In the whole universe. If I could only hear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be your voice. After you finished the song, I couldn't help myself. I had to hold you. And hold you was exactly what I did. You felt so relaxed while I was holding you. I would've felt the same way, too, except I couldn't relax. Not with the fact that you were going to leave me again nagging me in the back of my mind. Right before you did leave, you kissed me. Nothing felt better, except it was too quick. Then you disappeared.

Amu... I miss you so much... why did you have to leave me...

******NORMAL POV*****
Ikuto heard a crash outside of his room. Startled, he jumped up and went to go see what the noise was about. He saw that one of the windows was shattered, and among the broken piece of glass was a small white envelope. Ikuto opened it, and saw a letter, written in Amu's handwriting.

Ikuto...

Keep living your life happily. I know I'll be back. Trust me.

Oh.. and by the way... if you really thought I was annoying following you around, you should have said something. The only reason I followed you around was because I thought you wanted me to. It was annoying to follow you everywhere, so I would have happily stopped if you said something

~Amu

Ikuto clutched the letter in his hand and dropped onto the ground on his knees. He didn't care that all the broken glass under him was cutting into his leg. He stayed there.

Amu... you're coming back...? Come back soon...

I learned that to get a lot of reviews... I have to ask here. REVIEW. Oh, and sorry if this one sucked crap. This one really did suck compared to the others. But, it's really hot outside... and I'm being fried to death since my brother was playing around with the A.C, and guess what? HE FUCKING BROKE IT. So, I'm sitting here in high 90's weather, with a broken A.C. The A.C guy said he won't have time to come fix it for another week or so... so time to die in the head for another week.

Oh yeah... LOOKING FOR O.C'S i need a couple fangirls for Ikuto, a doctor, possibly a nurse, and Kami-sama (I have no idea how he/she's supposed to look).
