Me: I'm back!
Ikuto: *whining* that took so long! You kept us waiting for hours!
Me: *slaps Ikuto* you're lucky I'm writing this on the same day! Last chapter, I had to rewrite it because my foot accidently pulled out the wire and I forgot to save! So be nice, because I'm nice enough to write the last chapter now when I'm really tired.
Tadase: Tell me what it's about! I can't stand the suspence!
Me: It's about the small adventure about Amu and Dia traveling on the path of stars to find out who will win the war! AKA: Who Amu chooses to live with the rest of her life.
Tadase & Ikuto: It'll be me! (Perfectly in sync!) *turns and glares at each other at the exact same time*
Me: *rolls eyes* why am I not surprised?
Eru: IT'S A BATTLE FOR AMU'S LOVE! THIS WHERE I WILL MAKE MY MOVE! THE HEROINE SHALL APPEAR!
Me: Uh, no… this is not about charas, it's the war for Tadamu or Amuto.
Amu: What do I do? What do I do? Who do I choose? If I choose one, the other will be heartbroken. Ahh!
Me: Don't worry about it. I'll handle your actions. This is MY fanfic, even though I don't own anybody. Okay, do the disclaimer, Daichi.
Daichi: You practicly did in your sentence, Tadase4eva.
Me: Oh. Yea.
Iru: hehehehehehehehe Roll Tape.
Normal P.O.V
Amu nervously followed Dia onto the path of stars, not knowing what she would do or what she would see. Amu shivered, remembering the fight Tadase and Ikuto had at the park and wondered if the path of stars was going to show her that. She certainly did not want to see that, it was too sad to see. However, what was strange that Dia was keeping silent, not telling her anything that she was going to see or do.
Amu glanced around. The path of stars seemed to go on forever, like an endless space. Suddenly, a silver and gold star circle appeared. Now Amu knew what going to happen now, they were going to review memories. Dia halted and pointed towards the portal.
"This may help with your decision, Amu," Dia said.
"How will a portal help me?" Amu asked.
"Don't you remember?" Dia asked. "These are memory and future portals. They will show you what will happen in the future and happened in the past."
"So, what kind of future portal is this?" Amu asked, staring at the circle.
"Wait and see," Dia replied with a straight face. "Here we go," Dia pulled Amu into the portal.
Amu looked around. They were no longer in the path of stars, but in the future. Now they seemed like ghosts, no one could see or hear them, but they could see and hear everything.
"You see, Amu," Dia informed. "the path of stars links the past, the present, and the future all together. We are now in the future."
"So, what are we viewing?" Amu asked, mystified.
"What your life will be like if you choose Ikuto," at Dia's answer, Amu blushed a little.
"Shall we take a look?"
With a simple nod, Dia lead her all the way through town to a very strange house. Inside, however, looked a little familiar. Amu was horrified of what she saw, Dia only nodded, as if to tell her it would happen. This is what she saw…
"WHERE HAS MY MONEY GONE?" Amu yelled.
"I thought you would like this hot tub," Ikuto replied. "and I ran out of money."
"Then why didn't you ask me? Or buy with your own money?" she screamed. "Our budget is already tight with our child and our food! And you, a non-caring father, go to a bar and waste money there? And you spend all our money put together buying a hot tub for an apology?"
"Sor-ry," Ikuto said in a sarcastic voice. "I thought you said you loved me, and I buy something you always wanted, and you yell at me,"
"All you focus on is beer!" Amu screamed, storming out the door and slamming it hard.
That was the last thing Amu saw before a blinding white light occurred…
"Where are we now?" Amu asked, afraid to open her eyes.
"Another scene. Please open your eyes. You need to know what will happen."
Amu opened her eyes and the scene started…
"Why didn't you watch Amaya yesterday?" Amu screeched. "You know I was running errands for the family!"
"It's the mother's job to look after the child. Why couldn't you have just taken her along with you?"
"Because I actually care about Amaya, and I know she would get bored," Amu argued, referring to the little girl sitting in the corner with jet blue hair and golden eyes flickering with fear.
"You're saying I don't care about our daughter?" Ikuto asked in rage.
"I'm saying that you care more about getting drunk than her, and you were careless enough to let her get kidnapped!" Amu stormed off once more.
"And now I'll show you the worst thing of all," Dia murmured sadly.
Immediately, Amu felt worried, but continued watching as the scene changed. Right away, Amu agreed it was the worst. This was what she was horrified of…
"HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?" screamed Amu in agony, looking at the dead body of Amaya.
"She was the one to kill herself," Ikuto murmured, glancing at the sharp blade.
"Don't blame it on her!" Amu sobbed. "It was YOUR fault she did this! She was scared of you and killed herself to ease that fear!" Amu went into her car and drove away, and the portal closed.
Amu was to shocked to speak.
"Do you know what to do now?" Dia asked.
Amu could only nod as they entered the present once more. She went running to the blonde-haired man sitting on the bench.
"Um, Tadase," She started. Tadase looked up at her with teary eyes. "I was kinda eavesdropping on your fight with Ikuto, and I really want apologize."
"That's okay," Tadase said in a glum voice. "have fun with Ikuto." he said and started to walk away.
"No! Wait!" Amu tugged on his jacket. "I don't want to marry Ikuto! It was arranged! Please! I'm sorry about it! Aishiteru!"
At those words, Tadase stopped. "A-a-ashiteru?" he stammered.
Amu nodded. "I'll marry you. I really want to," she said quietly. He sat down and Amu sealed her request of with her most affectionate kiss.
Me: All done!
Tadase: This is not a good place to end the story.
Ikuto: I hate you. And your story.
Me: Shut up. All right, it was getting so long I had to do it this way. I'll tell you what happened in the next chapter. R&R!
