Chapter 6

(Amu's P.O.V)

The first place I searched was the little clothes shop that was near by, but it turns out there were six ones all over the town. I sighed; this is going to take awhile. So I searched them one by one until I came to the last one and found them trying on clothes.

"There you are, I've been looking for you girls everywhere in the past twenty minutes!" I said, gulping in a huge breath. "Well sorry, but we needed new clothes. But, now that you're here…" Utau had an evil smirk on her face. Yaya and Rima came up behind her a second later. Yaya looked excited while Rima was giving me a 'Sorry-but-I-can't-help-you' look.

Utau grabbed some clothes and threw them at me, making me stubble backwards and fall into one of the changing booths. "Try them all on and let us see them!" She yelled through the door. That was when the torture began. For another twenty five minutes, I was trying on clothes, I finally agreed on one and we bought them and changed.

We finally got back to the boys and they looked kinda mad off. Then they looked at us all, now I have to make a correction. They didn't just look kind of mad, they were furious. "Where the hell have you been for almost an hour?" Demanded a pissed off Ikuto. Utau walked up to him. "Shopping. Got a problem with it, neko?" (A/N to people who don't know, neko is a cat.)

He glared at her. "Yes, I do have a problem with it." He said through gridded teeth. They glared at each other for two minutes until I broke the silence. I started giggling. They looked at me like I was crazy.

"You two act like brother and sister, it's so weird." They still stared at me like I was crazy. "No we don't." They said at the same time. "That just proved my point, any way, let's get going. We've got a long way to go and little time to get there." They glared but nodded.

"So," Ikuto started to ask. I looked at him. We had just gotten out of town, and the two of use seemed to have drifted a little back from the group. "Yes?" Then he looked at me from head to toe. "The dress looks good on you." He said looking away. I looked down at myself and blushed. I've never blush in front of boys before, but Ikuto, he seems to not follow the rule's.

I shook it off and looked at him. "Thank you." I smiled; he looked at me and smirked. Then I looked up to see the others ahead, so I lightly tapped my horse's back and went galloping back to the others.

(That night)

(Ikuto's P.O.V)

We had just stopped; it was twilight and it was getting darker by the minute. I guess we were going to set up camp here. Kukai when to get fire wood, and the short one, Rima, I think, went to help Nagi with something. And that Utau when to get dinner ready. The Hyper one, Yaya, was bugging Kairi about what was in his note book.

I turned to see Amu not there. I turned in panic and found her sitting on a bolder away from the camp, towards the sun set. I walked over to her and decided to sneak over and scare her.

"You know, if you look directly in the sun like that, you'll fry your brain." I saw her jump and turn around to glare at me. I looked her in the eyes. I've never seen eyes like these, they held so much feeling. It's like I could see into her soul with those golden orbs.

I seemed to have to same effect on her. She just stared at me then looked down in embarrassment. I smirked and sat down next to her. "So, what do you want?" She asked me very coldly.

I tried to hold back a snicker; she has the same cold, un-caring mask I wear. "Well, actually, I was wondering about you." She looked shocked and looked at me. "What do you want to know about me?" She asked, keeping her facade again.

"Hum, let's start out with where you're from?" I asked, making small talk. She looked sad now, shit, wrong question. "I'm…I'm not…sure." She said unsure. I raised an eyebrow. "Ok then, so you have any siblings?" She looked even worse. "I'm not sure about that either." Ok, I need to stop talking. "What about you?" She asked looking at me.

I looked at the sun, which was almost all the way set. "I come from a king-." I coughed. I almost said kingdom. She looked confused. "Sorry, I come from a village called Nightsten." I smiled. She looked a little suspicious but shrugged it off. "Well, do you have any siblings?" She asked. I shrugged. "I have a cousin; he's really close to me, kinda like a little brother. And my mother and father…" I stopped and looked away. I could feel her worried gaze on me.

I looked up to see it was dark out already. "Well come on, lets go back to the camp." I stood up and stretched and reached my hand to her. She looked at me with worry for a second and then took my hand. And I lead her back to the others.

(Later that night)

We had all just gotten done eating. And we were settling into our sleep positions. The doll, child and miss shopaholic were sleeping and strawberry was almost asleep. Kukai was sleeping near shopaholic; no doubt she'd blow in the morning. Kairi had the little child in his lap, both sleeping.

Nagihiko and I were the only ones awake, which made me think of earlier. He seemed to think of this too. I nodded my chin and we walked a little ways away.

"So what are you doing here?" I questioned, getting strait to business. He looked at me and sighed. "I came to get," He seemed to deliberate, then he spoke again. "the, long lost princess of Seyio." He muttered very softly. But I heard him, I gasped out of surprise. "Have you gotten her yet?" I asked. He looked at me like I was an idiot. I thought it through for a moment, and then it hit me.

My eyes widened. "It's one of them?" I asked, pointing my thumb back to the others. He sighed again and nodded. I tried to ask who it was, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth; they wouldn't come out.

He seemed to know what I was trying to ask and pointed to them. I slowly turned and looked to where he was pointing. Right where I was hoping he wouldn'tpoint. He was pointing right at my little strawberry.

I looked at him and nodded. "We'll talk about it later." He said. I nodded again and headed back slowly. He walked ahead of me and stopped in front of the doll. He patted her head and went to sleep a little ways from her.

I came over to Amu and looked at her. I can't believe it was really her. I thought of the good things and bad things that were going to happen. I sighed, 'I will be there to protect her and watch her the whole way through' I vowed.

I lied down right behind her and wrapped my arms around her. I thought Kukai was going to get yelled at in the morning, yea right, more like me. But I didn't care, as long as I was there protecting her, then I slowly fell asleep, dreaming with my now confused thoughts…
