Chapter 1: A Reunion with Everyone Amu's POV

"So where are we going again?" Megumi asked as we walked down a familiar path to me.

"We're going to meet the 3 at the park that we used to hang out at." I simply replied.

"Okay."

"AMU-CHAN I'M HUNGRY!" Ran complained.

"Fine, You guys go get ice cream for everyone and I just need to send the text to Rima." I said walking away.

"Oh yeah, Miki and Hiroko are staying with me. Plus don't just ask me what flavor I want. You all know I want chocolate. So get the ice cream and sit on the bench in front of the fountain. (the one where Tadagay and Amu had their date which Ikuto awesomely interrupted. XD)

"Damn Amu-chan, you know us so well." Ume said.

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Ja Ne." I said as Miki, Hiroko, and finally walk away from them.

"Ne Amu-chan, how come not tell Ikuto?" Miki asked.

"Not just yet. I'm not ready to face him. He has to come to me." I said

"Okay. Well I'm just going to draw go ahead and text them." Miki said as she started getting engrossed into her drawings.

Hiroko already fell asleep on my shoulders so I sat down on the nearest bench and flipped my fake brown hair over my shoulder and stretched. I opened my bag and pulled out my phone. I scrolled down my list until I fell upon Rima's name and started to text her a message.

Mashiro Rima, Plz come meet me the local park infrnt of the fountain near ice-cream stnd. Also, plz bring Utau and Nagi.

The reply said, w8 y?

Yea yeah, jst get ovr here ASAP

K ill meet u ther.

I smirked and got up the bench to meet up with everyone. As I saw them come into view, I bumped into someone. I stood up and said, "Hey! Watch where you're going bastard!"

"Pfft, whatever." I heard a familiar voice said. I looked up to see Ikuto with a girl next to him.

"Ikuto-koi, don't be so mean, she was just wandering around and thinking and you bumped into her." the girl said.

"Fine. Fine Akane-koi. Gomen for running into you." He mumbled.

I-Ikuto-koi?

"Hey, Watashi wa Akane and this is my boyfriend Ikuto. Nice to meet you." She said. (use your imagination for how she looks like, im too lazy to describe)

I gulped trying not to look hurt and said, "Nice to meet you to, My name is Atsuko from M.A.Y.U."

"NO WAY! I LOVE YOUR BAND! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?" Akane-san squealed.

"Sure, just keep your voice down." I said as I signed her wallet.

"I must get going." I said.

"Ok! See you around!" Akane said

"But first, may I say a word to your boyfriend?" I asked

"Oh, sure."

I whispered into his ear, "Wait until I tell Amu about this. I wonder what she will do once she sees you with another girl."

I let go of him and I saw his eyes widened. I smirked and waved my hand while I walked to the others.

"Who were they?" Youko-chan asked.

"That was Ikuto and his girlfriend" I replied.

"WHAT? THAT BASTARD I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Megumi exclaimed.

"Nah, it's fine you know what I told him?" I told Megumi-chan.

"What?"

"Wait until I tell Amu about this. I wonder what she will do once she sees you with another girl." I requited while smirking.

"Thatta girl." Megumi said as she hugged me.

I heard someone cough. I looked up to see Rima, Utau, and Nagihiko.

"So why do you want us here, M.A.Y.U.?" Utau asked.

"We just wanted to tell you something important." Youko said.

"And that would be?" Rima continued.

"You know me as Atsuko right?" I asked them.

The 3 of them nodded.

"But that's not the real me." I said.

"Huh? What do you mean Atsuko-san?" Nagihiko asked.

I sighed and pulled off my contacts to reveal my honey golden eyes and my wig. I was just so glad that the park was empty today.

I saw their eyes widen.

"A-Amu?" Utau managed to say.

"Hey Utau, Rima, Nagi. Tadaima." I said in a small voice.

Utau and Rima immediately hugged me and squeezed me to death.

"Where the hell have you been?" Rima asked as she clung onto me as we started to walk around the park.

"It's too hard to explain to you guys, so I'm just going to let Megumi and Ume explain." I said looking forward with the scene with Ikuto playing through my mind. I already had my disguise back on so no one knows who we are except for the 7 of us.

"X-day Inc. is a nice company for the arts. Except the head boss threatened to kill our families if we don't follow what they order us to do. We were to be a band and be world renowned which we are now, but we haven't paid the debt for our families survival yet. It's sometimes hard, but with Amu's song writing and compositions, we can turn any of our emotions into a song." Megumi explained.

"Now that we are a band, we have always got each others' backs. But don't worry, Amu's been talking about you guys 5 times each day. You see, X-day Inc. isn't bad, whenever our manager and the person who hired us aren't under the boss' watch, they're really friendly. The 'boss' has like workers and cameras watching us. So, if we act evil, that's not us. We're doing it for our families. Please do understand. We also heard that there's this other band that the boss got and they are to collect x-eggs. We are definitely aware that you, Utau and the Guardians along with Amu can defeat that band with us included. If they are defeated, we can have hope that we can defeat the boss and get our families back and lead a normal life again. But we are still going to be in our band." Ume finished.

After a few seconds of silence Nagi finally said, "Amu-chan no matter what, all of us are there for you. Whether your in danger or you're just not yourself."

"Arigatou Nagi. But I think we should call the others and tell them that I'm back from missing for 2 years. I only have one more condition." I said.

"And what would that be?" Rima asked quirking an eyebrow.

"Don't invite Ikuto." I said straight into her eyes.

"Why, before you left, you told me that you loved him." Utau stated.

"Ah, so Ikuto didn't tell you and decided to keep it a secret from you." I said smirking.

"What happened?"

"Well you see Utau, on my way back to Megumi, Youko, and Ume; I ran into Ikuto with his girlfriend Akane."

"No wonder he's never in the house nowadays."

"That's right, but our Amu told him off!" Youko exclaimed.

"How did the Cool N' Spicy Hinamori Amu tell the Tsukiyomi Ikuto off?" Rima asked.

"Can we state it Amu-chan? Please? Please? Please?" Ran begged.

"Fine. Fine."

"Okay! Miki you be Ikuto. Suu you be Akane! I'll be Amu."

I chuckled at what they were going to do.

"But first, let me speak to your boyfriend."

"Oh sure."

Ran grabbed Miki and whispered into her ear that everyone around them can hear and said, "Wait until I tell Amu. I wonder what she will do once she sees you with another girl."

By this time I was laughing along with Megumi, Youko, and Ume.

Rima was stifling with her laughter and Nagi was chuckling a lot. But once I looked at Utau, I saw that she looked pleased yet pissed.

"Okay Ran, thanks for the replay. But I think we should definitely call everyone now except for one person."

"Okay, I'll text everyone." Rima said grabbing her phone out.

~Rima's POV~

I grabbed my phone and created a message and forwarded it to everyone which said:

Minna-san come to the local park there's someone

Here that would like to speak to

All of us together it'll

Be a surprise.

~Rima

I looked to see if I got everyone else: Yaya, Kairi, Kukai, and Tadagay. I then pressed send.

"Okay, I got everyone else. Now what should we do?" I asked.

"We wait." Amu told us.

~Amu's POV~

After 15 minutes of waiting, Yaya and Kukai arrived.

"Woah! Rima-tan! I didn't know that we would meet M.A.Y.U.!" Yaya yelled.

"Yeah, I saw Tsukiyomi on our way here so I invited him over if that's okay." Kukai said

"Oh shit. Megumi get Akemi right away, it's time for plan B." I said looking at Megumi.

"What's Plan B?" Kukai asked dumbfounded.

"W-woah! Megumi, okay I got it! Just let me swap with Atsuko." Akemi said as she made her way over to me.

"Everyone turn your backs and surround Akemi and I" I said urgently.

They did as they were told and Akemi slipped on my wig and contacts.

"Okay, you can turn around now." I said straightening my attire.

"Hinamori, you're Atsuko?" Kukai exclaimed while gawking

"Yeah Kukai now close your mouth. I don't want Ikuto to know so I'm just going to mess with his head for a while."

"Oh okay." Kukai replied calming down.

"Amu-chi, you're so lucky!" Yaya exclaimed.

"Yo." I heard a voice said.

"Everyone surround me until I say you can disperse." I whispered.

They nodded.

"Woah… Okay, so I know M.A.Y.U. is at the park but I didn't know that all the guardians would be here. But I see Kiddy King and the nerd aren't here yet."

"Sorry we're late minna! We got stuck the guardian work." Tadase said while running up to the group with Kairi coming up behind him.

"Hey, is it okay if I brought Akane with me? We were kinda just wondering around." Ikuto said.

"Sure, but I think you want to meet someone first." Kukai said and looked at me.

I nodded. "Okay you can spread out now." I whispered

Once the group dispersed I smirked and looked at my nails and said, "Hey Iku-chan, how's my little alley cat doing?"

Everyone chuckled. I faced what I had to do. I looked up at him glaring at him with my piercing eyes.

~Ikuto's POV~

I saw Souma look behind him and he gave a nod. The large group immerged and I saw what I really didn't expect. I saw Amu.

She smirked and said to me, "Hey Iku-chan, how's my little alley cat doing?"

I was shocked. Sure I didn't stop loving Amu, I just went out with Akane to fill the void. But now here she is in front of me and I'm here with my girlfriend. Now, she's right in front of me glaring. I stared into her eyes and I saw pain and discomfort in them. I just wanted to take that away. But i know i couldn't do that. I was the one who caused it. But her eyes, were like Atsuko's response when she bumped into us.

"Amu…" I said.

"Yes that's my name, don't just wear it out. I like to keep my name safe until I find someone to love me that can say my name all he wants. And no that's not you Tadagay, I was so over you a long time ago. I think I may have fallen out of love with someone close to my heart too. Mah, Mah, it doesn't matter." She said.

I am so screwed.

~Amu's POV~

"So, minna how are you?" I asked changing the subject.

"We're fine."

"Good." I said.

I turned to Ikuto and said, "Care to introduce your girlfriend to me?"

"Huh? Oh uh… sure. Akane this is Amu. Amu this is Akane."

"Nice to meet you Akane."

"You to Amu."

Never met a man, quite like you… doing all he can… making my dreams come true… You're strong and you're smar- (Love You I Do by Jennifer Hudson)

"Moshi, Moshi?"

It's time for training again at the dojo. Please come soon, the boss will be watching

"Hai. Wakarimashita."

I turned Megumi, Youko, and Ume.

"The boss wants us to meet him at the Kung Fu studio and he'll be watching. Want to chara change?" I told them.

"Sure. We'll go on ahead while you say bye to your friends. But don't take long, you know what will happen..." Megumi said as they zoomed away with Akemi on her back.

"Well, the group and I need to go meet the boss. Oh yeah, I left two years ago for a family reason. They wanted my family to work for them, but I took the job instead. Now I'm their manager. Hiroko let's go." I said while turning away from them with sadness and pain visibly in my eyes.

"Roger Amu-chan!" She said as she made my cat ears and tail come out.

"Ja Ne." I said as I jumped through the trees.

~Ikuto's POV~

"Oh~ Tsukiyomi got burned by a girl~" Souma said laughing as Amu went away.

"She told us that before you guys came, she's only staying for two months until the band has to go back on tour." Utau said while looking at me with anger and pity.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because, I'm disappointed that you kept this from me. You're only sister. Not only that, but Atsuko is really angry at what you did. Amu and Atsuko are really close. Really close. Like they're one. Man… You are… How am I going to say this to my brother… Right, You, Tsukiyomi Ikuto are just plain stupid."

"O-kay?"

"Demou... Was it me or did I see pain and sadness in their eyes when they talked about the boss..." Souma said

"Well. it doesn't matter, we'll ask her later."

"Minna, I'll treat you to lunch since we're just standing here."

"Can't, Akane and I have plans."

"Okay, Ikuto-nii, just don't screw up with your relationship with Amu." Tadase said while the group was walking away.

Once they were gone, Akane turned to me and asked, "What is your relationship with Amu?"

"Nothing really, just two people who know each other." I said looking ahead.

"Ikuto nya~ I'll be going with Miki somewhere nya~ Bye nya~" Yoru said floating away looking for the blue chara.

So much has happened today. First Atsuko then Amu. I'm screwed.

"Ikuto-koi, I think that we should drop this date, I mean I can see that you have a lot on your mind and can't focus all your attention to me, so go home and rest." Akane said while rubbing my arm. "Yume and I will be on our way home now." she said as she and her chara stood there waiting for X-day Inc. To pick her up. ( I gagged so much when typing this. Dx I hate writing mushy stuff that includes slutty girls, but hey, it fits her style :P)

"Sure, whatever." I said walking away from her.

Megumi: Well, that's the first chapter of this story! I haven't even thought of somethings for WWMTB. (Were we meant to be) Can you guys give me some ideas? I'm having writer's block with that story.

Nagihiko: It's okay Meg, why don't you just go and torture your friend Teh on Maple?

Megumi: *Eyes Sparkle* Good idea Nagi! I DEMAND IKUTO TO DO THE HONORS OR ELSE HE'LL GET HIS FACE RUINED! *runs to laptop and starts teasing*

Ikuto: Dammit so close... Anyways R & R for she will give you cookies and a picture of both Sakuras from CCS and Tsubasa. Or you will get a Amu and Ikuto plushie. Your choice.

Nagihiko: wow... that's um... kind of stalkerish...

Megumi: I HEARD THAT NAGI! I'LL TELL EVERYONE WHAT HAPPENED IN MY CLOSET LAST WEEKEND IF YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT STALKING I'LL KEEL YOU!

Ikuto: Well anyways click the smexy button :P
