Flashback
"I did mention the mafia group…Is that bad?" There was a tense moment. Suddenly, someone came into the kitchen and said,
"What did you say?"
I widened my eyes at the newcomer.
Ikuto POV
It was Amu. My Hinamori Amu. But she had matured greatly. Not only had her chest obviously matured, but her body figure was something probably envied by every other girl. Her clothes were all black, which even for her was odd, but it showed off all her curves at the right places. Amu was not as skinny as a stick, as was the fashion these days, but looked elegant and graceful even standing still. The greatest change was probably her face. All childish features were gone, and she still wore no make-up. It seemed as if all her baby fat had evaporated in six years, but her eyes were still the beautiful honey-gold they had always been. However, although her eyes were still the vibrant color they had always been, there was a shadow of extreme depression and the knowledge of cruel reality. While I was staring at her and noticing the various changes, I almost missed the conversation.
"What did you say?" she repeated, her voice sounded as if she was singing.
"AMU-CHAN!!" All of a sudden, three charas popped out of the three bodies. The bodies crumpled to the floor, while the three charas, Miki, Ran, and Suu, flew to Amu hugging and crying. Amu patted them lovingly, then grabbed Ran and brought her to her face.
"Ran? What happened today?" she questioned.
"I saw the Guardians today, Amu-chan! We had breakfast! They asked questions and I told them about the…mafia group," she said apologetically. Amu stiffened, then sighed. Rubbing her temples with her fingers, she collapsed on a bed.
"Amu-chan, desu! You have to eat dinner!" scolded Suu. She went back into her body and Sumi rose. Grabbing another bowl of rice and soup, she put them on the table next to the others. "Dia! You should eat too, desu!"
Out floated the fourth chara, who had apparently finally cracked. Dia nodded and sat down on the table to eat. I sneaked out of the air vent. There was nothing more I could do. I had found out the apartment, as well as more information than I had expected, the appearance of Amu. However, before I left, I thought, I might as well stay longer. I'll hide on the roof, then follow Amu when she comes out.
Amu's POV (finally, huh?)
The Guardians…I thought. After that last incident six years ago, I had protected my mind and heart from feeling any feelings of guilt and sadness at my departure. I knew what I had done would hurt them, but I had stated clearly in my letter that they should never try to find me. How did they find out I was in Osaka? I wondered. Probably Kairi had led them here. I grinned briefly, before grimacing again. Great. This just leads to more complications. What am I supposed to do now? Kisangi isn't going to be happy about this, that's for sure. I stood up suddenly. I decided to eat quickly, then leave. While that would depress my charas, I knew that it was okay. I had always visited them whenever I could. However, I had planned to stay a few days with them.
After dinner, I broke the news to the girls.
"Suu. I have to leave now," I explained.
"Why, Amu-chan desu?" she complained. Dia sighed and got ready to leave.
"No Dia. Stay here for today. You are always with me. I know how to protect myself. You can find me later. Play with Ran, Miki, and Suu for a few days and rest," I said. Dia smiled gratefully. I knew she was tired of constantly being alert and being in a dangerous environment.
"Amu-chan~~" whined Ran.
"You guys, I'll be back as soon as possible. Stay with your bodies. Kisangi is going to want to know that the…Guardians are here." I turned to leave, then smiled sadly at them. "You know I would stay if I could." They nodded in resignation and tried to appear cheerful.
"It's okay Amu-chan," reassured Miki. "We'll always be here waiting for you. But what are you going to do about the Guardians?" I was still debating that myself.
"I don't know…" I closed the door behind me.
A/N: Sorry! I totally meant to make this chapter longer! But my mom is about to come back soon and she wanted me off the computer. Lol. Oh well. What WILL Amu do about the Guardians? What will happen at Amu's and Ikuto's confrontation? Who is Kisangi?
