Ikuto POV

I watched as Amu's face went from bright red to ghostly pale. She was starring in horror at something behind me.

I turned and saw a woman you had to be in her thirties at least. She had brown hair and eyes, and she wore glasses and was wearing one of those business suits. Beside her was a little girl who looked five like she was five. She had light brown curly hair that was in small pig tails and a blue dress on.

"Amu, is that you?" she asked. Amu just nodded.

"Ami, go find your father, I think he's net door," the woman said.

"Ok Mama,"

When she left the lady rounded on Amu. "So, I see your still alive,"

Amu's eyes flashed with anger. "And I see your still as horrible,"

"That attitude of yours is exactly why no one wants anything to do with you!" she raised her hand as if she was going to hit Amu but I stepped in front of her.

"Don't you dare touch her," I said.

"Who are you? Some guy she hired to follow her around,"

"I should be asking you that," I snapped back.

"I am her mother, I can treat her anyway I want to," I looked at her shocked. Amu looked nothing like her.

"You are not my mother," Amu stepped around me, glaring at her parent. "My mother died a year ago,"

"Yes, I heard that woman died, so where are you now, on the streets again?" Her mother snorted. Amu went more even more pale, if that was possible.

I put my arm around her protectively and glared at her mother. "I think you should leave," I said coldly.

Amu POV

I watched as my mother left, trying not to cry. Ikuto pulled me against his side and we left the store with everyone starring at us.

"What was that about," he said after awhile.

"Nothing," I muttered.

"You can trust me you know," he looked down at me. If he wasn't smirking it would have be a sweet thing to say. To bad he was smirking.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, trust an 18 year old pervert, real smart. Hey, why are you in a freshman class when your 18 anyway?" I added.

"I failed a few classes, that's all," he shrugged.

"What?"

"Define a few,"

"Um, let's see, Math, Social, Science…"

I looked at him, dumbfounded.

"how…" I shook my head.

"let me guess, you get Perfect straight A's, right?" he smirked.

I blushed. "Sh-Shut up,"

"Let's see, from what I've heard your good a sports, you get straight A's, what else you Perfect at?"

"I. Am. Not. Perfect!" I said through clenched teeth. After awhile I added in a grateful voice, temporarily forgetting Ikuto was there, "If I was my parents wouldn't have abandoned me,"

"What?!" he grabbed my arm, pulling me to a stop.

"Oops, did I say that out loud?" I worriedly.

"Yes you did. What do you mean they abandoned you?"

"They just didn't want anything to do with and vice versa," I snapped. My parents were always a touchy subject with me. Plus, I barely knew him.

"But-"

"Look just drop it, okay? I don't wanna talk about it." I said quietly. He let it go but reluctantly by the looks of it.

Jinx POV

"Hey Jinx, what brings you here?" the manager asked me as I walked in the store.

"Need a new guitar, Yaya's stupid mutt broke mine," I muttered.

"Not good, well, try this one, we just got it in," he handed me a blood red and raven black Base.

"Sweet, how much?"

"It's regular $250, but for you…$150."

"I'll give you a hundred."

"$140."

"$120, take it or leave it," I said.

"Fine."

When I went to leave I ended up bumping into someone.

"Ow, watch it," I said.

"Sorry are you-AH IT'S YOU!"

I looked up and saw a grown man in a white coat pointing at me, looking terrified.

"Uh, do I know you?"

"Yes! I mean no! I mean…" he turned and ran away. I starred after him.

"What the hell?" I muttered, walking to the food court to meet Amu and Ikuto.
