ON WITH THE STORY!

Ikuto's pov:

It was early morning and Utau, Kukai, and I were heading to an abandoned house we had found a while ago. I saw that I was almost there but they were behind me so I shouted out, "I'm going on ahead!" as I reached the wall and jumped. I vaguely heard Kukai shout out, "You prick watch where you're going you'll get yourself killed!" but I wasn't paying attention, because in front of me was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She had a hood on so I couldn't see her hair, but I could see her eyes: the color of honey mixed with gold, that's the best way I could describe them. She was staring at me too, which caused me to lose my balance and hit the ground with my arm getting the brunt of it. After a few seconds of my less than graceful fall Kukai and Utau came running up and Kukai started asking all sorts of ridiculous questions that I answered wrong just to mess with him. "Who am I?" he frantically asked. "Who are you?" I asked while holding in my laughter. "I'M KUKAI!" Then Utau decided to join in. "Oh is that who you are? I'd forgotten as well." And with that I just started laughing.

I was still laughing when I saw the girl from earlier start to try and leave. My laughter died instantly. "Halt." and she froze. "Now what is a girl like you doing in the woods by yourself?" I asked as I used the tip of my sword to pull back her hood. Once I did all three of us just stared. She had the most beautiful colored hair.

Then she noticed my arm. "Oh you're hurt." She then tried to stand up using the tree she had been leaning against, but she winced and was barely able to stay upright. She debated something in her head for a minute.

Amu's pov:

'What should I do?! It's because of me he got hurt... but this is all the medicine I have. I know I shouldn't be selfish and just give it to him, but if I do my ankle will take even longer to heal. There's really only one thing I can do." With a heavy sigh I open my bag and pull out the medicine jar. "Here." I toss the jar to him without looking. "And what would this be?" I could practically hear him smirking. "It's a homemade medicine that will help your arm heal a bit faster. I know you probably don't trust me so if you don't want it I'll take it back."

Ikuto's pov:

When she threw the jar I noticed that it was almost empty. When she said it was medicine to help my arm heal I couldn't help but wonder why it would be so empty, she didn't look injured, and when she said that we don't trust her I was rather surprised she could tell. With a smirk I asked, "And why would you want it back?" She blushed lightly and mumbled, "I hurt my ankle a while ago and was using that to help it." 'So that's why it's almost empty. She needs it for her ankle.' Utau seemed to realize that it was mostly empty as well and asked a question I never even thought of. "Do you have any more of that medicine for your ankle?" She slightly lowered her head and shook it in the negative. 'So this is all the medicine she has and she's giving it to me to help with a slight bruise. why?'

Though she said it was medicine I wanted to test it to be sure. So I silently walked over to her and grabbed the ankle that looked slightly swollen, she gasped out in pain and I felt bad for putting her in pain. I opened the jar and put a little medicine on her ankle and she relaxed instantly. "Thanks." she smiled slightly and I felt my heart skip a beat. "No problem." I raised my arm and said, "I believe you are at least partially responsible for my injury." She laughed and sat down so she could tend to my arm.

It was only after she bandaged my arm that Kukai spoke up. "So miss I don't believe you ever told us your name." She blushed a little and said, "My names Amu. And your's would be?" She asked looking at all of us. "My name is Ikuto." I smirked when she blushed a little. "I am Utau, it's nice to meet you." Utau said while smiling a little. "Likewise." Amu said while smiling as well. "And I'm Kukai!" He almost shouted, smiling like an idiot.

No one's pov:

After introducing themselves they all went into the house, Amu a little slower until Ikuto picked her up bridal style, (A.N.: What did you expect he's OOC but he's still Ikuto!) and carried her in.

After a while of just sitting around Amu began to get restless, eventually she decided to go for a walk around the woods. "Um, Ikuto I'me gonna go for a walk if that's alright." Ikuto looked at her for a second before deciding that this would be a good time to get answers out of her, so he agreed to help her walk around the forest.

"So Amu why did you decide to come all the way out here?" Ikuto asked as the two of them walked. "I don't believe that is any of your business." She replied. They stopped under the tree so Amu could rest her ankle.

She leaned back against the tree, silently preparing herself for Ikuto's questions. When she tried to pull her head back a small piece of hair got stuck and she cried out in pain. Ikuto quickly realized something was wrong and went over to see. "You have a small piece of hair caught in the tree." Amu mumbled something she hoped would be to low for Ikuto to hear, it wasn't. "I must have missed it when I cut my hair." Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you think of it, he did. "Would you mind cutting it please?" Amu looked up at him and he quickly decided something.

"Ok. I'll cut it for you if you answer my questions." when she agreed he asked his first question.

"Is the reason you're out here part of the reason you cut your hair?" Amu sighed, figuring that would have been his first question. "Yes. The reason I cut my hair was the same reason I left my home."

Ikuto nodded like he expected this from the start.

"So why did you have to leave?" At this Amu paused and said, "I'm not answering any more questions or even telling you my story until you cut this strand of hair." With a laugh Ikuto complied. Then they sat down with their backs to the tree.

"So your story?" Amu sighed and started. "I ran a small bakery. I'm really good at cooking and a lot of times I would give out free food to some of the younger children. But then the first prince of Shugo, Tadase, sent guards to inform me that I was to be one of his concubines." At this Ikuto burst out, "His concubine?!" Amu smiled sadly and nodded her head. "Yes. But I knew he only wanted me because the color of my hair is unnatural, so before I left I cut my hair and tied it up so that he would have exactly what he wanted."

After that they talked for a while longer before heading back.

When they got back they saw a basket of apples sitting outside of the house. Amu had a sinking feeling in her gut. "Ikuto I don't think we should eat those." "Why? Scared?" Amu just rolled her eyes, picked up the basket and went in the house.

Then because he also had a bad feeling picked up one of the apples and bit into it. As soon as he swallowed the bite he fell down and Amu screamed. Kukai and Utau ran down the stairs and saw Ikuto passed out on the floor and Amu crying. "What happened!?" Kukai demanded of Amu. "There was a basket of apples... I told him not to eat them bu-but he did anyways. It's all my fault!" and with that Amu ran out of the house.

With Amu:

She was standing a semi-lit room in front of her was the one man she was trying to get away from... First Prince Tadase.

"So your hair really is pink. I'm glad, I didn't want that to be just a prank." Tadase smiles a smile that makes Amu want to punch him. "Do what you will with me, but give my friend the antidote." Amu said while glaring at her captor.

Tadase does not answer and instead walks closer to her invading her personal space. He grabs a lock of her hair and she slaps him. "Sorry. But I will only stay here if you give my friend the antidote."

Suddenly the doors burst open and there stand Ikuto, Kukai, and Utau, all looking ready to kill someone... more specifically First Prince Tadase.

Amu is stunned. "I-I thought you were dying." she says to Ikuto. "I've spent years building up and immune system to poison." Tadase is outraged.

"Do you know who I am?!"

"Yes. Your the moron prince who tried to make Amu do something she didn't want to." Ikuto says with a deadly glare on his face. And suddenly Tadase sees the emblem on the hilt of Ikuto's sword. "No. Impossible. You can't be him." Then Kukai spoke up, "That's right! He's the Second Prince of Chara. Ikuto." After his introduction Ikuto begins to advance towards Tadase, who retreats until he's at the edge of the balcony. "Amu do you have anything to say to Prince Moron?" Ikuto asked her. Instead of answering she walks up towards Tadase and kneels to his height, "The antidote." she states with enough venom to kill a horse.

Annnnnnndddddddd... DONE!
