Amu is busy putting her things in her locker when someone moves beside her. It's Ikuto.

"Ohayou!"

"Ohayou" she said, bowing her head

Ikuto brings out a book from his back and give it to her.

"That's what our project is about. Read it."

"Thanks! Actually I haven't got my copy of this." said Amu.

Ikuto smiled. "Just tell me when you're finished reading this then we can start with our project". And then he left.

From the corner of her eyes she sees two girls standing at the corner, looking at her. They are from her class, one of them is Sayaa. She doesn't like the way they look at her. She heard their minds, it doesn't sound good either. She hurriedly locked her locker and walk away fast, but then the girls followed her. Amu doesn't like this; she always suffered this in her old school. She runs. The girls run too, chasing her.

"Oi! Amu!" they called

They keep on chasing her until they reach the side of a staircase. There Sayaa catches her by grabbing her hair. She twists her head to free herself from her clutches.

"What do you want?" she said

Sayaa glared at her. "I want you to leave Tsukiyomi-kun!"

"Huh? But we're only doing our project!" Amu said

"Then why don't you change partners" said the other girl.

"It was Sensei who chose him not me."

"We said change partners!" Sayaa shouts grabbing and pulling her hair again

"Let go of me!" Amu said.

"Oi! What's going on here!" someone shouted. Its Tadase's voice.

Sayaa stiffen. Amu finally breaks free but she slips and lost her balance. Before she knows it, she was falling down on the staircase. She landed hard on the floor.

"Amu!" Tadase shouted

Amu felt something warm trickle down her head. She heard heavy footsteps running down the stairs. And the last thing she remembers is Ikuto's face looming over hers before everything went black.

Tadase sees it all. Tadase saw Amu running away from the two girls. Heart beating wildly he followed them. He runs after them, he has a bad feeling about this. He paid no heed when he heard Ikuto calling after him even when Ikuto followed him too. He saw them grabbing Amu's hair. He shouted at them.

"Oi! What's going on here?"

The two girls went still upon seeing him and Ikuto.

His heart stops beating for a moment when he saw Amu falling down the stairs. He saw her landed on the floor and didn't move. And then he saw blood on Amu's head, it comes from a wound, a very big wound.

"Amu!" he shouts, he's so scared.

Ikuto immediately runs down the stairs and touches her head. He heals it, willing the wound to close. Slowly the wound fades away, leaving only smooth skin and traces of blood.

Tadase finally lets himself relax a little bit when he saw that Amu's finally alright. Ikuto turns to him; he motions his head to the two girls standing beside him. Tadase looks at them and at their horrified expressions. They saw everything. Tadase understood and he nods to Ikuto. They must not let a human know about them, about who they really are. In times like this, when a human caught them using their gifts, its Tadase's job to clean up this kind of mess, to make them forget. He will erase their memories, Tadase smiles grimly. Or maybe, he thinks, maybe he can modify their minds a little bit. So that they will never be cruel to Amu ever again.

"Ne~" he said to the two girls, they look at him with scared faces.

Tadase smiled at them cutely. "I think we need to talk."

They brought Amu to the clinic. The nurse is gone. Ikuto put Amu to the bed carefully. He held Amu's hand.

"She's not okay yet. Some of her ribs are broken and I think there's an internal bleeding." Ikuto said to Tadase. "Oh and I think she also broke her foot too."

Tadase snorts. "At least leave the foot. If she wakes up and notice that she's not harmed at all, she'll get suspicious."

Ikuto smiled at the sleeping Amu fondly. "Maybe I'll heal it a little so that it won't be too hard for her."

Tadase watched Ikuto heal her. He eyed Amu on the bed. Tadase hates this feeling. This feeling of uselessness. He remembers. He can only watch but couldn't do anything... He tried back then, but couldn't, he failed. The only thing he can do is to bring her here. Here, to this school, here where Ikuto is. Maybe Ikuto can save her. Maybe Ikuto can do what he can't do. He is their only hope.

Suddenly, someone burst from the door. Its Lulu.

"I'm sorry!" she said. "I heard that Amu's been hurt" she stops short upon seeing him.

Tadase looks at her. At her face. He feels his heart filled with pain upon seeing her.

"She's ok now." Ikuto interrupted them

Lulu turns to him. "I heard she fell from the stairs."

Ikuto nods. "She only broke her foot."

Lulu went beside Amu's bed.

Tadase stares at the two of them. He stares at the two most important people in his life. He loves them both, cherished them, but couldn't show it. Ikuto looks at him. He pats his shoulder.

"Lets go out, it will be better for you if you go out." Ikuto whispered.

And he let Ikuto pulled him away. Away from the room.

Ikuto put his arm around his shoulders.

"Tadase, don't be like that. You just did the right thing. You did the right back then" Ikuto comforts him

Tadase wonders if he really did the right thing. He thinks of Lulu. If its really the right thing to do, then why does his heart hurt so bad.

And Ikuto doesn't know about Amu yet. About who Amu really is to him.
