Shi: Annndd, We're back!
Ikuto: You sound like a talk show host…
Shi: Shut up, I'm mad at you.
Ikuto: What for…?
Shi: You mocked my writing skills, I want the story to develop slowly, not super sound speed.
Ikuto: …
Shi: Anyway, in this chapter…
Amu: Wait! Wait!!! I'm so sorry!! *panting*

The moment Amu Hinamori woke up was a total blur. Looking around her, she didn't know where she was anymore. She seemed to be lying on a bed, and the last time she fell asleep was next to…
'IKUTO!' Amu practically screamed in her mind as she frantically threw the covers off of her and pulled the door open, flying down the stairs. When she arrived at the bottom of the staircase, Ikuto was not there. Other then her hard breathing and beating heart, the house itself, was completely silent. This really scared Amu, as she thought that Ikuto had abandoned her in the house.
'Just like…him…' Amu thought as tears started to flow into her eyes. She breathed out a heavy and depressed sigh as she sat at the bottom of the stairs. She sat there, crying, until the phone rang a few minutes later.
Standing up, Amu quickly whipped her tears and walked to where the sound was coming from. The phone was placed in the kitchen, and it was ringing loudly. She stared at it for a long time, debating whether or not she should answer it. What if it was for Ikuto? Like a private acquaintance? And Amu seriously did NOT want to make Ikuto mad. Her eyes slowly traveled towards the clock on the wall. 6:30PM. Then Amu looked back at the phone, and reached towards it. Each moment felt like a moment she was closer to something…troublesome…
"H…Hello…?"
"Amu? You've waken up, huh?" it was Ikuto's voice. Amu sighed of relief and smiled a small smile. Maybe she was too paranoid?
"Yeah, Where are you, Ikuto?" Amu asked. She could hear him snicker on the other side of the phone.
"Worried about me? Tsk tsk, Amu, getting lonely already, huh? Well, I'm Elsewhere…" he muttered.
"I'm not worried about you, and I'm certainty not lonely either. In fact, I am happy you left the house. Anyway, Where elsewhere?" She questioned, a little confused herself of what she just said.
"Just tending to some business. Do me a favor, alright?" Ikuto said.
"What?"
"Stay inside the house and don't leave the house for any reason."
"How come?"
"Because your not familiar with the town. I'll be home later on and I'll show you around, so stay at my house, alright? And…Its not necessary, but stay in your room. You have a TV and some entertainment in there to keep you company. Although I told you to stay in your room, there's an envelope full of money that you can use for your own, but not today." Ikuto explained. Amu decided to listen to Ikuto's directions, and even though he couldn't see her, she nodded.
"Okay. I get it." She said.
"Good. Later."
"Byebye." Amu said hanging up. It was silent again, but Amu's sad spirits were lifted and she was…What you could call, Cheerful.

The next past hour after Ikuto called, Amu had gotten something to eat out of the fridge. Some pasta, and she made herself hot chocolate. It was amazing how much food Ikuto's house had. After eating, Amu entertained herself by watching television in her room. However, soon she got bored. A big house is nothing if you can't go anywhere except your very own room! Amu, who was a curious person, opened her closet. There were no clothes in here, it was empty, except for a small little shelf in the corner, that stored small objects, such as candles. And, Amu, Who liked to wear various clothing, was very very disappointed that she could only wear ONE pair of clothing until who-knows-when. So, being the stubborn young girl she was, she marched right on downstairs, forgetting Ikuto's words already, and entered the kitchen again, looking for the envelope this time. After a short time, she finally found it!
"I'm going to go out shopping~!" Amu squealed happily as she put the envelope in her pocket carefully, ensuring that it would not fall out, then left the kitchen, as well as left the house as she slipped her shoes on.

Outside, the town was very nice now. The English-styled street lights were lighting the way as the sky was just turning to a beautiful shade of dark blue.
'I don't think any of the stores are closed yet, or, at least I hope not.' Amu thought, looking around as she walked. She passed different kinds of buildings as she journeyed further on. Café's, Restaurants, a movie theatre, hotels, etc.. As expected, Amu soon lost her way, and asked for directions to stores that sold clothing. She was told to go East of town, and she did.
Once she got there, Amu was more happier then the time she found the envelope awhile ago! There was so many small little boutiques, sticking to each other like a strip mall! Excited, She ran forward, eying a store that she really wanted to go in quickly. Amu ran so fast, that she bumped into someone. Hard.
"Ouch!!" She cried, falling backwards. It seems that the person in front of her fell backwards as well.
"Watch where your going!"
Amu rubbed her lower back in pain and sighed, as she looked who it was. It was a short boy, with long blonde hair that had a baby face. Just looking at his cute face made Amu blush. He was so adorable!!
"I…I'm sorry…" The boy muttered. "I didn't look where I was going. I deeply apologize." His voice was cute too!!
"Its fine!! Its fine!!" Amu cried, waving her arms around, unaware of her face being red. "I…I just wasn't aware of how fast I was running!! Its my fault, don't be sorry!" Amu blabbered. She didn't want this boy to feel bad, when it was her fault.
"Oh…No, Its not your fault." The boy said. "My name is Tadase Hotori. Whats your name?"
"A…Amu…Hi…Hi…Hina…Hinamori…" Amu stuttered. She was so embarrassed!!
"Nice to meet you, Hinamori-san." Tadase said, gently taking Amu's hand and placing his lips on it. This made Amu absolutely melt.
'That's it. Tadase's my new love interest! He's just like…Just like…A prince!! Pure royalty.' She thought, close to fainting.
"So, Where are you going?"
"Oh…me? Shopping. How about you?" Amu asked.
"I was going to head home, but it's dangerous for a girl like you to walk by yourself at night, so I'll escort you." Tadase said, smiling and holding Amu's hand as he led her towards the shops. Amu was still blushing, but her eyes held pure happiness. She felt so happy with this kind boy, he can't possibly do anything bad.
