Amu opened her eyes and looked down at the arm around her waist and the hand intertwined with her own and knew it all sadly hadn't been a dream.
She attempted to sit up but instead got pulled back down towards Where Ikuto had been sleep and was now awake and alert. "Where are you going?" He asked with just a tinge of tiredness behind his voice. "I was getting up." She answered, not amused.
He raised an eyebrow at her cynical behavior, "Amu, I thought we were past the hating stage." He said and she turned away from him. "I'm gonna need more than a simple apology to forgive you for ripping me away from my parents." She said fuming. "Fine, what do you want?"
Amu pretended to think it over, "Let me go back." Ikuto glared at her solemnly. "Not happening." Ikuto said, setting the rules bluntly. "For just a month?" Amu pleaded, "Nope." Ikuto said firmly. "A week?" "No way." Amu huffed, " A. Day." She asked seriously.
He sighed and gave in "Fine we can go over there as long as I'm with you at all times and we are only visiting for a while. You will tell them exactly what I tell you, agreed?" Ikuto asked seriously. Amu nodded happily. Not at Ikuto but at the thought that she'll be able to see her family again.
"When are we going?" She asked anxiously and he sighed, "We'll go today if you follow all my rules. She nodded, bored and he stared seriously at her. Than Ikuto got out of the bed and made it before setting Amu gingerly back on top of it and walking to the dresser on the other side of the room to get some clean clothes both both of them. "Now you'll have to explain it like this..." He explained and she listened carefully.
Amu walked nervously up to her house's door with Ikuto at her side and she slowly lifted her fist to knock. She bit her lip and pulled back, nervous. Suddenly Ikuto's hand went past her face to proceed in rapping on the door three times.
"Be there in a moment." A cheery voice said from within the house. Amu smiled slightly at her mother's voice. The door creaked open and Midori's face peeked out, "Oh hey Amu." She said happily. She saw Ikuto and her eyes swept him curiously. "Come on in." She said in a little bit less happy voice, but still had a ring to it.
"So who is this?" She asked nicely. "My name is Ikuto Tsukiyomi, nice to meet you Amu's mother." He said as he nodded respectfully and she smiled brightly. "The pleasure is all mine Ikuto, and you can call me Midori." Amu remembered what Ikuto had told her and started reciting it, "Sorry about yesterday, I guess I just needed to get out for a while, sorry for worrying you." Amu started but Midori interrupted. "Oh but I wasn't worried at all sweetie, I was actually hoping you'd stay away from home longer." She sighed boredly. Amu felt her heart sink down into her stomach. "Her parents hadn't thought about her what so ever, what if she had been raped or killed or kidna- oh wait.
"So what did you do while you were gone?" Midori asked questioningly, a secret gesture towards Ikuto and a stern glare was all it took for Amu to know what her mom was implying. "Not much at all, I met up with my FRIEND Ikuto here and I stayed over night at his place. So not much happened while you and dad were in lala land." Amu said, her voice raising a little bit at the end. Ikuto looked worriedly at her, "Well... Actually Amu my dear, me and your father.. You see... Have decided to get a divorce. You can stay at who so ever's house you'd like to, we don't really care." Midori stated nonchalantly. Amu stared at her in horror. Her parents really didn't give a care what happened to her, they really didn't love her anymore. They really didn't WANT her anymore. Amu felt tears coming to her eyes and she stood up before bolting up towards her room, tears dripping down her cheeks as she climbed up the stairs. She felt broken, unneeded, unwanted and depressed and all she wanted was to be alone.
Amu shuffled quickly through her door and shut it behind herself, now desperately wanting that lock she'd been begging for but now never going to get. She crashed onto her bed, ignoring the boxes all around her room, full of her precious belongings and just crying.
Through her sniffles and sobs she could hear Ikuto's voice downstairs speaking to her mom, he wasn't yelling but he was using a quite loud voice. He was cussing and telling her she was the worst mother ever before the voice turned into the sound of footsteps on stairs. Amu quickly pushed her face into the pillows, not really wanting to see or be seen like this as the door creaked open.
"Amu?" She heard her captor's voice call from the doorway. She didn't move a muscle and continued to have her face in the plush pillows. "Amu. I'm sorry this happened, but it's not your fault in any way. They would of gotten divorced even if you hadn't walked away, don't blame yourself." Amu lifted her head slightly, "But who else am I supposed to blame other than myself? It feels like no one needs me anymore." She replied herself limply from the pillows. She felt the bed dip and she was pulled into a warm comforting hug from behind. "I need you." Ikuto whispered soothingly and she felt her heart stupidly skip a beat. No. I still hate him. Amu thought seriously to herself.
She felt herself being lifted off the bed slowly and the air flowing past her as Ikuto carried her down the stairs and past an angry Midori, and out the door.
