~3rd Person~

Utau, unwillingly, walked out of her house and to the park to meet a waiting Ikuto. She was irritated, of course. She just couldn't figure out why though. She guessed it was because Amu was getting all the attention from her supposed boyfriend. But hadn't she just said they were cute together? She was confused, and that pissed her off even more. Her walk changed into a sprint, trying to get to the park quicker.

Once there, she saw him, waiting for her under a tree, eyes on the ground. He was holding something in the hand that looked like a gift bag. Her mood lightened as the thought of having that given to her by Ikuto crossed her mind. She was already blushing when she made her way up to him.

"Hi, Ikuto-kun." she said sweetly.

Ikuto's head flew up; hopping it would be Amu. His mood turned sour again, looking back to the ground. Utau saw this. "Hey, Utau."

"So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" she asked trying to hold back the hurt in her voice as a feeling of Déjà vu flew through her body.

He didn't say a word, just handed her a note. "I'm sorry-" she began to read but Ikuto stopped her.

"Don't read it out loud." he requested, not able to even bear to rehear the words on the paper. Utau nodded and began reading to herself.

'I'm sorry. So sorry.

It appears that I'm a burden on the Tsukiyomi household so, I'm sorry.

I wasn't aware of this.

However, don't worry.

I won't be a bother, ever again.

Bye-bye!'

Utau stayed quiet. Not because she was shocked, but that she was sure if Ikuto knew the truth, he'd hate her.

"Utau, I need you to remember, did Amu tell you anything about leaving?" he asked, pleading.

"…"

"Utau?"

"Ikuto…I'll tell you the truth." she looked into his mesmerizing eyes. He stared back, in anticipation.

~Ikuto's House~

Souko had been a basket case ever since Ikuto showed her the letter. She had grown attached to the pinkette. She was crying into her guilty husband's shirt when it hit her.

"Nee, Sweetie?" she said sweetly, clearing away her tears.

"Yea?" he asked nervously.

"You didn't like Amu-chan too much…did you?' she asked, although he could clearly tell she already knew the answer; he didn't have to respond as she continued. "Is it somewhat bizarre that she would have to leave like that? And didn't she say they'll come here and buy her a new house?"

"Uhh…"

"And what was with that letter? Clearly she felt uncomfortable, but why? I'm sure Ikuto didn't make her feel that way. Why do you think, Honey?

"I-I-I d-d-don't k-k-know…," he said. Oh how he sucked at lying.

She looked at him now, with an oddly pleasant smile. "R-r-really c-c-cause I-I-I

t-t-think y-y-you d-d-do." she said, mimicking his sturtters.

"It's water under the brige, okay?" he got up, heading for the kitchen. She followed close behind.

"No it's not water under the bridge! Amu-chan could be lying on the ground dead somewhere!" she started for the door, about to go find the pinkette, but Aruto blocked the doorway.

"Move!" she commanded.

"No!" he shot back.

Well, why not?!?!" she whined.

"This is exactly why I made her leave." he quickly covered his mouth, hating he didn't think the sentence through first.

"…what do you mean 'made her leave'?" she asked.

He sighed before answering. "I told her that she was a burden on us and should leave."

"You bastard! Why would you tell her something like that?!?!"

"Because…!" he screamed, but softened. "Because, I knew you'll get attached and when she really had to go, you'll be…well like this…" he looked away from his wife.

"Well…why didn't you just say that." he looked up confused. "I still think what you did was selfish, mean, and very bastard-like…but since it was for me, it can also be classified under 'very sweet'." she gave him a warm smile as he sighed in relief.

After a while, he walked over the phone.

"What are you doing?" Souko asked him.

"I going to call Ikuto, and tell him that she's still in Japan." he picked up the phone and began dialing the all too familiar number.

"What do you mean she's still in Japan? Didn't she leave for the airport this morning?" she asked walking over to her husband.

"Uh, no, she never left the city; at least I don't think she did. Her parents died."

"What?!" Souko screamed.

~Back at the Park~ "Well, spit it out, Utau!" Ikuto commanded. Utau had become silent, trying to find the words.

"Well…" she sighed before continuing. "I don't know why Amu-chan left, but she asked me not to tell anyone."

"Not to tell what?!" he asked, grabbing her shoulders, making sure not too hard.

"She asked me…to pretend to be her parents."

"What are you talking about? Why would you have to pretend to be her parents?!"

"She asked me to call her after our date so that you'll and your parents would think it was her parents. Then she would say she wanted to go home and leave forever." she confessed.

"But why would she-" but Ikuto's phone started to vibrate. He released Utau and got his phone out of his pocket.

"Hello?" he asked irritated.

"Ikuto, it's you're father. I have something to tell you about Amu." Aruto said from the other end.

"Really what is it?!" he asked, excited.

As Aruto told Ikuto everything that he could, Utau watched as his eyes first widened, then soften.

She could tell he liked Amu-chan more then he liked her.

She sighed, yet smiled. That's all she could do right? Just be happy for the person she loved.

Once he hung up, he looked at Utau.

"You're in love with her." Utau whispered.

"Yea, I kind of just figured that out." he said looking away.

She smiled. "Anything else I need to tell you?"

"No…but I think I need to tell you something."

"No need. I understand." she felt tears forming "You love Amu. You should go look for her." one single tear fell from her cheek.

"Utau…" he trailed off

"I'm fine really. Go." she wiped away the liquid on her cheek.

Ikuto mouthed 'thank you'.

Utau decided to stay in the park. 'They belong together.' she thought before quietly singing one of her favorite love songs.

Meanwhile, Amu shivered slightly. She figured it was time to leave; she couldn't stay in that park for the rest of the night. She struggled to stand up, using the tree bark for support. She was about to walk off bout something caught her eye. Ignoring all willpower, her legs pulled her into the direction of the object.

She ended up in front of an old gift shop. The certain thing that caught her eye was a drawing tablet and pencils. The set was old, but still usable. She hadn't drawn in so in long and just looking at the tiny canvas brought back the urge to do so. She carefully picked it up, not wanting to damage it more. For a moment, she thought that she should leave some money, but what was the point really.

Smiling, she went over to a nearby bench and begins drawing the old rides.

At the same time, Ikuto was using all his strength to keep running. That and the desire to see Amu again. He continued to run, quickly checking the places he passed. Places like the school, that hotel Amu had her 16th birthday at, and even the Italian restaurant she told him about.

The sun was beginning to set and still no Amu. Ikuto was starting to worry. 'Where could she be?!' he thought angered at his failed attempts. He thought of some place where he used to go; places she might not even know existed. Suddenly, he thought of the old amusement park. He used to go there with Kukai and Tadase as kids. 'Maybe she's there.' he thought. Only one way to find out. He started into a run towards the amusement park.

~Back at the park (sorry for all these setting skips ^_^") ~

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song, in the car

I keep singing don't know why I do…

Utau sang, still sitting on the bench, quietly. She didn't mean to start singing such a depressions song, but if describe how she was feeling. She sighed, no longer able to sing anymore.

"You look much better when you smile." I voice came from behind. She jumped slightly and turned to see an orange haired boy smiling at her. She had seen him around before. She remembered: he was one of Ikuto's friends. 'Ikuto-sama…' she thought, sadly.

"What do you want, umm…?"

"Kukai," he answered, taking a seat next to her. "And nothing really. I heard you singing and thought I should compliment you. But then I saw you crying-"

"I was NOT crying!" he steamed.

"Could have fooled me." Kukai mumbled. Utau just rolled her eyes and began walking away. Kukai quickly got up and gently grabbed her wrist. "What was wrong?" he asked with true concerned.

She looked back at him. "I…broke up with…"

"Ikuto." he finished for her.

"Yea. He was into Amu-chan, so…"

"Really? I would have never thought they would get together." he said in his same goofy voice. Utau glared at him. "Uh… I mean…if you think like-"

"Just be quiet." she requested, silencing him. "I'm glad they're together." she said with a sigh and a small smile.

"You really do look much better when you smile." Utau blushed as she pulled her wrist away from him.

"What are you talking about?! And besides, don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Yea, well she dumped me. Apparently I'm too silly for her."

"Where would she ever get that idea?" she asked sarcastically.

"That's what I said!" he exclaimed, playing a long. Utau laughed. She liked this guy. Maybe even 'like' like him.

"So are you going to keep singing?" he asked breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Huh?" he asked tilting her head in a way that Kukai thought was adorable.

"I want you to sing, but not that depressing crap you were singing."

"That was Taylor Swift!" she defended.

"Whatever. So will you?" he asked smiling widely.

"Fine." she mumbled before singing 'He Said, She Said' by Ashley Tisdale.

~Back to Ikuto~

He had finally made it to the amusement park. I strolled around slowly, making sure she wasn't in any hard to see places.

"Amu." he called out. "Amu?" he pasted the gift shop, stopping to look inside to see if she was there. Seeing that she wasn't, he kept going.

He pasted by the teacups, and carousal and still there was no Amu. His mood began to sour again. 'What if she already left?' he thought to himself. He looked around briefly. He notices something sticking out from behind a nearby bench. It was pink. 'Wait…Pink?!' he rushed over to the object. Once there he looked over the back.

Yes, indeed, it was Amu, completely focus on her drawing. She hadn't even noticed that total darkness surrender her.

"Amu…" he breathed softly. It still made her jump. She looked up into Ikuto sapphire eyes, completely shocked.

"Ikuto…?" he nodded. Her eyes widened as she got up quickly, drop the paper, and backed away.

"Why are you here?" she questioned.

"I could ask you the same thing." he said with a slight chuckled. He started towards her. Every time he took a step forwards, she took a step back. "Amu…come back."

"No…it's not that I'm missed…and besides m-m-my p-parents a-are waiting for me…" she lied.

He continued to move towards her. "Amu, I know what happened to you're parents." he eyes widened even more, freezing her. "Why didn't you tell me, Amu?" he continued.

"Like I said, you could us that against me." she forced a small laugh out.

He was now in front of her. He could smell her strawberry perfume bouncing off her. 'As expected.' he thought with a chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" she asked, looking up at him, eyes innocent.

"Nothing…" his small smile was replaced with a frown. "Amu, you are most definitely not a burden on any of us."

"Yea right." she said eyes on the asphalt below.

~Ikuto POV~

I guessed this would be a good time to tell her. I sucked in a breath, but I was stop.

"What's in the bag?" she asked curious. I looked down to see I still had the bad in her hand. I kept forgetting I had that thing.

"Here." I handed it to her. She took it, hesitant.

She opened it and gasped. I smiled as her face lit up.

"It's my picture! How'd you get this back?!" he asked lifting the fame out of the bag and staring at it. The bag fell to the ground.

"After the fire, I went looking through the ruble and found it." I said looking away "Thanks." she mumbled.

"Am I really missed?" she asked suddenly.

"Of course you are." I told her honestly. Suddenly, I got an idea. "And you know who messed you the most?"

"Who?" she asked looking back at me.

I pointed to my self. She flinched back.

"Why would you miss me?" she asked eyes locked on mine.

"Because I'm in love with you." her eyes widened as I smirked.

"Seriously?" she asked, voice small.

"Of course, Amu."

I noticed the tears forming in her eyes.

"Are you crying?"

"No! Shut up." she looked away from me as I laughed. "I guess you won't my respond now, right?"

"I don't know; I this is my first time being in love remember?"

She giggled. "I suppose you're right." she sighed before continuing. "I'm in love with you too…since the first day actually." she looked away, blushing.

I turned for face back to mine, titling her head slightly.

"So, we're together now?" I asked.

She only smiled before closing the little space between us with her lips. I kissed back automatically.

'I'd say so.'

Rini: AND THAT'S THE END!!!! How'd you like it? Was it good? Huh? Huh? Huh?!-

Everyone; YES IT WAS GOOD NOW SHUT UP!

Rini: I wasn't talking to you guys!!!!! I was talking to my reading audience!

Rini: I know right and thank you Dia-tan. At least SOMEONE appreciate my skills.

Fiona: what ever.

Amu: so what's you're next story going to be.

Rini: well I'm not sure. Either that psychologist story or 'Not Another Cinderella Story?!' (go to my page to know what I'm talking about)

Fiona: Sucks for you, Ik-kun! hahaha

Amu: It was epic!

Ikuto: could you start it over?

Amu & Fiona: WHAT?!

RINI: Well, if Ikuto-sama asked. Ahem.

Utau, unwillingly, walked out of her house and to the park to meet a waiting Ikuto. She was irritated, of course-

Amu: We are not going to start this again!

Fiona: don't forget to R&R.

Rini: I hope you have enjoyed my story ^_^

Ikuto: Bye.
