Love Hurts

Chapter Six

I'm Just A Girl

XxFlashbackxX

"Reaper's Death Cat!" Amu yelled. A huge black cat shot out from Amu's hand and it clawed Utau. Utau yelled as she hit the ground and the eggs that were purified left, the rest of the x-eggs flew to Amu's side and lifted her away from Tadase. Then Amu destroyed the rest of them. The group stared at her in shock. Then a voice rang through the air.

"Destroy them, Hinamori Amu."

Amu gripped her scythe tighter and then ran right at Utau, since she was already down. Just as she was going to strike her, Ikuto stopped her with the claw on his wrist.

"AMU! Snap out of it!" he said. Amu gave him a glare and jumped back a few feet.

"Reaper's Death Cat!" she yelled, aiming at Ikuto.

"Slash Claw!" he said, slashing the black cat in half.

"Tightrope Dancer!" Rima shouted, wrapping Amu in her tightrope.

Amu glared and then Rima slapped her.

"Snap out of it Amu!"

Amu's eyes were wide and full of tears. "Rima?"

"Amu!" Rima hugged her friend.

"Tasukete."

"Nani?"

"Kudasai...tasukete." she cried before being controlled again. Amu broke free from the tightrope and hit Rima with her black cat attack. Her eyes were distant again and her face was cold. She gave one last glare to them before switching to Amulet Shattered Heart and then flying off into the day.

XxEnd FlashbackxX

XxNormal POVxX

Ikuto punched a tree in frustration. "Damn it! They got her under control." he growled. The group was now out of their chara nari forms and in their regular clothes.

Rima walked over to the group. "We have to save her. She...she told me to please save her."

Utau was crying a bit. "So...so she didn't mean to do all of this?"

"I don't think so." Nagihiko replied. He turned to Ikuto. "Do you have any idea on how they could be controlling her?"

"Not really. They might have some kind of device or something on her." he answered.

"Ne Ikuto-nya. I could follow her and see what they're up to-nya." Yoru said.

"That sounds like a great idea...but I could tell you more." a voice said from behind the group. They all turned around and saw Misuki.

"Misuki-chi?" Yaya asked.

"Hai."

"What's going on?" Kukai asked.

"One of the worker's from Easter had slapped Amu earlier before she started to sing to bring out the embryo. Miki had noticed that he had slapped her weirdly. So I asked her about it. She said she didn't know so all of us, Ran, Miki, Suu, Dia, and I, looked at Amu's cheek closely since she had passed out on her bed from being controlled. We found a small, barely noticeable, chip thing on her cheek. No matter how hard we tried we couldn't get it off...plus we woke Amu up so we had to lie and say we checking the place he had slapped her."

"So wait a minute-dechu. You're saying that this guy somehow put a thing on her cheek and now they can control her-dechu?" Pepe asked.

"Hai."

"Damn bastards." Ikuto muttered, punching the tree again.

Misuki flew over to him and put her small hand on his arm. "Don't worry Ikuto-kun. We'll try everything we can to help you guys save her."

"But she works for Easter!" Tadase yelled. "Why would we help her when she turned on us in the first place! And how do we know you're not lying about that chip?"

"If you knew about the situation she was in you would understand! She joined to protect everyone she cares about! I'm glad she saw what an asshole you are and doesn't like you anymore!" Misuki yelled, getting in Tadase's face. (a/n: I sorta feel bad for Tadase...bad feeling gone! back to story xD) Everyone stared at Misuki in shock. "Whatever." she sighed, starting to fly away.

"Matte!" Rima yelled.

Misuki stopped and turned around. "Nani?"

"Whenever you find out something...please tell us."

"Hai." Then Misuki flew off.

XxAmu's POVxX

I groaned and put my head in my hands. I was currently in my office and Easter and trying to figure out what exactly had happened earlier.

"Don't strain yourself Amu-chan desu." Suu said.

"I need to know what happened!" I yelled, only making my headache worse in the process. "Ugh I feel like crap." I groaned.

"Amu-chan." Ran, Miki, and Dia said.

"Misuki! You're back!" Ran cheered.

"Where have you been?" I asked.

"Out and about." she replied.

I sighed. "Whatever. I need to get to work." I said, beginning to finish up my new song. A few minutes after I finished one of the guys that works for Easter came into my office.

"Hoshina-san needs to speak with you."

I nodded and left to go to his office. I came in and closed to door behind me and walked over to his desk.

"Hinamori Amu. You failed again."

"I know..."

"I won't punish you this time but you better not fail me next time."

"Yes sir." I said then left. I walked down the hall and bumped into someone. "Sorry." I said.

"Amu?"

I looked up and saw Ikuto. "Ikuto?"

"Amu-"

"St-Stay away from me." I said and ran off. I couldn't hurt him. Not like earlier today. I won't let myself.

"AMU-CHAN!" My charas called, chasing after me. I didn't stop. I kept running until I was out of the building and running off to who knows where, with tears starting to run down my face.

XxMisuki's POVxX

I sighed and looked at Ikuto. There was a tiny hint of pain in his face. "Sorry. She's...she's just worried she might hurt someone again." I explained.

"It's ok."

"It's not ok. She's been a wreck trying to figure out what happened." He stayed silent. I sighed. "I'm gonna go calm her down. If you want you can come too." I said. When he made no move to follow I sighed and flew off to go get Amu.

XxAmu's POVxX

I found myself at the amusement park. I smiled a bit, whipped away my tears, and went over to the teacup where Ikuto and I had been all those years ago. I sat down on it and just looked around. I hadn't flipped the switch because I didn't want to give away where I was. After a few minutes I broke down into more tears. The stress was getting to me. I felt my charas around me.

"Amu-chan..." they all said.

I curled up in a ball on the teacup and continued to cry. After a while it started to rain. It was a light drizzle that started to get a bit heavy. Not pouring down or anything like that but it wasn't that much of a drizzle anymore. I heard someone come up and I lifted my head to see who it was. "Iku...to?" I asked, my voice cracking.

XxNormal POVxX (a/n: play Just A Girl by Hannah Montana for effect!)

Finally
I've been waitin' for this moment
For you to see
The real me

It's been an illusion
I never meant to fool you
I got caught up in a fantasy

I'm just a girl
With a dream that got the best of me
In a world, that believes fame is everything
Got outta touch
With the ones who gave me my wings to fly, to fly

Ikuto looked at Amu with concern. Her eyes were red and puffy. He got into the teacup with her and she threw herself at him, despite the fact that they were both wet and still getting soaked. She then started to bawl in his arms and Ikuto just held her close. Her hands curled into fists as she gripped his soaked shirt and bawled her eyes out. All Ikuto could do was try to soothe her by rubbing her back and holding her. He picked her up and set her in his lap as she continued to cry. He was really worried about her. What's wrong with her? he thought.

People say, that the world is like a stage
Their so confused, the rules I play
I been away from home for so long
That I, I almost forgot where I belong
Ye-eah

I'm just a girl
With a dream that got the best of me
In a world that believes fame is everything
Got outta touch
With the ones who gave me my wings to fly, to fly

Its so easy to forget what really matters in this life
Its so hard to live with regrets but a promise i will try
To be a better me
From now on
I'm sorry
I didn't mean to do you wrong

Ikuto continued to try and soothe her. He rubbed her back, stroked her hair, whispered to her, everything. She kept bawling though. He was growing extremely worried about her. Amu kept thinking of everything that she had done wrong, all of the mistakes she had made. I've hurt so many people...I feel like a horrible person. she thought. After a few minutes of Amu crying she said, "I promise...to be a better me from now on." Her voice cracked here and there because of her tears, since she was still crying. "Gomen...Ikuto. Gomenasai."

"What are you sorry for?" he asked.

"For everything." she replied.

I'm just a girl
With a dream that got the best of me
In a world that believes fame is everything
Got outta touch
With the ones who gave me my wings to fly, to fly,
To fly, to fly

Amu then pulled herself a bit away from Ikuto and she was sitting up on his lap. Their charas looked at the couple with anticipation, waiting to see what would happen.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Ikuto said. He brushed a bit of hair out of her eyes and Amu just stared at him, her tears blending in with the rain.

"I have everything to be sorry for. I shouldn't have gone to Easter. But I had to protect you. I had to protect you because..."

"Because?"

You gave me my wings so I can fly, I can fly
Yeah, Yeah

Im just a girl

"I love you." she said. Then Amu leaned in and kissed Ikuto right on the lips as the rain continued to pour on them.

Suki: sorry it's so short! I just really wanted to put this out her like this!

Akati:

ne = hey

hai = yes

matte = wait

nani = what

Gomen/Gomenasai = I'm sorry

Suki: PLEASE R&R! IT'LL MAKE ME A HAPPY GIRL!

Akati: it really will.
