Kukai smirked and said, "Then I guess you're not the true holder."

"Then how did it work last time?" Hikaru said.

"That's the mystery." Ikuto sighed.


Chapter 8: Tragic Melody Reprise

Kaoru's POV

I still don't know why this 'Ikuto' dude would kidnap Amu. Maybe it has to do with the password. It in fact did work, but how? I just don't get how Amu can attract so many guys, and my brother ends up being one of them. It must be about her naïve, stubborn, and double-sided personality.

I'm getting this weird vibe from Ikuto. For a second I saw a shadow of a younger blonde boy with ruby red eyes behind him. Weird…

Tadase's POV

I think it's time for me to get a haircut. My glowing blonde hair is pretty long now. But I don't want to see him. He lives near the salon. I remember when we were little and I met the Tsukiyomi family. I always thought of them to be my older siblings until Ikuto killed my dog. She was the only thing I had since my parents were gone a majority of the time. I still remember that day when he was playing his violin and my old dog slept on. I could never forgive him because of that, but he made it even worse. During one of the only times my father spoke to me, my father gave me a key necklace. He explained what it was for, but I couldn't believe that one person can save the world. I wished I was the one with the lock instead of the key because I want to rule the world. I want to be king.

The next day the princess was found and a look-a-like was kidnapped on the same day. How could that happen? On that day I could see Ikuto sneaking out of the building; that day, I never saw the key necklace again. I. Know. He. Took. It. By accident or not, I want my revenge.

Amu's POV

Ikuto finally let me go…

Kukai and I went to the hair salon near his house. At first Kukai didn't want me to cut my hair, but I begged him to go with me with infamous puppy-dog eyes and he gave in. He could never say no to my puppy-dog eyes.

Walking up the sidewalk towards the salon I could see a vibrant yellow color. It's too bright. Once my eyes adjusted I could see a boy around my age with long blonde hair and ruby red eyes. He's Perfect! A true prince. I could see him hesitate and then he looked up, staring right into my eyes. "Did you just call me a prince!?" anger surged in his eyes and Kukai flinched beside me. He was poised to run in front of me and protect me. He's always been like that.

I gasped from surprise. He did he know that? "I know cause I know." WTH is happening!? Then a line appeared in my head "I hate the word prince." Is it coming from him? How come we can read each other's mind?

I stood up straight and tried to act confident. "Um….how do you know what I'm thinking about?" The blonde boy glanced at Kukai and back to me. "Cause I can….." and then he looked down at my neck. "Maybe it's because of that necklace of yours."


I know it's short, but I've been so busy lately and I bet you've been waiting.

I'm adding another story idea on the list of stories I am thinking of writing. It's a Kuroko no Basuke fanfiction. It's currently my favorite anime. And the story would be called: Hidden Profile KisexKukoro – Yaoi
