'Where are you Ikuto?'


~Amu~

I pulled the covers over my head, attempting to block out the annoying noise of the beeping alarm clock but of course; it didn't work. I groaned in annoyance and slapped the alarm. The sound finally stopped but I was already wide awake. I quickly pulled on some clothes and decided to take a walk around to see what the neighborhood was like.

I opened the front door and a comfortable spring breeze passed by me. I took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Cherry blossoms had started to bloom and it felt like I was in the middle of a maze. I snapped out of my trance when I saw a couple walked by. Now that I took a good look at my surroundings, a lot of young couples were walking beneath the cherry blossoms. I felt sort of jealous of them. I quickly walked away from the cherry blossoms and away from the people that could hang with who they liked.

I walked and walked and was fascinated by how respectful the people were. I walked by a book store. Some girls were staring at a poster posted up next to it. I heard them squeal in excitement. I rolled my eyes and walked past them but stopped when I accidently overheard something.

"I can't believe that the Ikuto Tsukiyomi is performing again!"

"I know right!"

I felt my heart leapt for a second. I walked up to the girls.

"Um, excuse me but can I ask you a question?" The girls looked over at me and gave me a pleasant smile.

"Sure!"

"Did you just say that a man named Ikuto Tsukiyomi was going to hold a concert?" They nodded vigorously and pointed to the poster.

"Only an idiot would miss out on this event! He was so famous just around half a year a go and there was a lot of buzz going to around when he just disappeared one day. Now, it seems like he's back!" I looked at the poster and there, staring at me right in the face was Ikuto while he was playing the violin.

Join us at XXXX

The renowned Ikuto Tsukiyomi will be holding a concert to celebrate his

come back to the music industry!

Don't miss out on this amazing event!

I was stunned. He looked a little older than I last saw him. His hair had grown but nonetheless, he still had a bed head hair style. I felt relief wash over me. At least he was doing well. I looked over the poster in further detail and it said that the concert was going to be held at 3 p.m. I checked my watch and it said 2:30 p.m. I still had some time left. I waved to the girls.

"Thanks."

"No problem!" I continued walking down the path but my pace just increased. I ended up running. I ran and ran until my breathing became ragged. I laid my hands on my knees to catch my breath. A smile slowly spread across my face. I threw my hands up in the air.

"Finally!" I didn't care about all the stares that people gave me. I didn't care if people thought I was crazy. The only thing that was on my mind was Ikuto. I had finally found him.


I lined up with all the other fans that slowly entered the outdoor stage. There were people guarding the entrance so you could only get in with a ticket. I had just got the last ticket. Lets just say that I'm going to have to apologize to some people later at the ticket booth.

I showed the people by ticket and they gave me a nod. I walked in the entrance and started to climb the long staircase. I exited the small tunnel wrapped around the staircase and was engulfed by a loud applause. I stared at the stage and the only thing I felt was the spring breeze at the moment. I stared at the man that had taken cared of me. The man that I had grown to love. The man that I was looking for.

"Ikuto." I said silently. He placed his bow on his violin and started to play. The audience immediately fell silent. The soothing melody wafted throughout the crowd and it felt like I was in a trance. I closed my eyes and I could see a picture paint in my head. The part he was playing was like his way of venting the pain he suffered. The music gradually came to a forte and suddenly stopped. Then the music shifted to a happy tune. It was like all his fears were gone from that moment and he was flying freely in the sky. The music had finished and everyone applauded. My eyes snapped open and my eyes fell upon the man bowing on stage. I could already see people lined up near backstage eager to get the musician's autograph. I swiftly moved through the line and somehow got to the front of the line. When I saw Ikuto, I pounced on him.

"Ikuto! I missed you so much!" I hugged him tightly. He grasped my shoulder and stared at me with a smile on his face.

"Claire! Didn't you say that you got called at your modeling agency? Anyways, I'm so glad you could make it!" I felt a pang of pain in my chest. Claire?

"Yea I did. How come your hugging some other girl?" I spun around and my eyes widened and so did the girls. It was like I was staring at myself.

"Claire." I narrowed my eyes. I vaguely remembered her from my memories. She was the human weapon that freaking Tadase out in me. The person that destroyed my life.

"Amu." She said my name coldly. She glared at me. Ikuto looked back and forth from me to Claire. He looked befuddled.

"Claire! You never told me you had a twin!" We both ignored him at the moment and broke out into our own little argument.

"What are you doing here?" Claire asked.

"I should be the one asking you that." I pointed an accusing finger at her.

"I'm here to listen to Ikuto play. After all, I'm closer to him than you could ever be." She smiled in triumph.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her.

"I happen to be his girlfriend." My eyes widened. I turned around and looked at Ikuto. His eyes also widened. I thought I saw a flash of recognition on his face but it disappeared as fast as it appeared.I lowered my head.

"Sorry to bother you." I walked pass Claire and whispered something quietly to her.

"I'm not giving up on him." She smirked and placed a hand on her hip.

"Good luck." I was definitely not going to give up on him. Be prepared Claire because I'm going to get him back.


~Claire~

I looked at Amu's retreating figure. Even if she intends to get Ikuto back, I'm not going to give up without a fight. I felt a tap on my shoulder and spun around. I noticed the fans behind Ikuto had grown silent and the guards silently ushered them out.

"So what have you been keeping from me?" I looked Ikuto right in the eye.

"I haven't been keeping anything from you."

"Then who was she?" The expression on his face made me look to the side, avoiding eye contact.

"You already know her." I said quietly and walked away from him. Ikuto ran to catch up to me.

"What do you mean?"

"It's exactly like I told you. You know her. I wasn't keeping anything from you."

"But how would I know her? She looks exactly like you! Can you explain that to me?" I was starting to get agitated.

"How the hell would I know? Why do you keep insisting that I'm lying to you?" Ikuto pulled me into a hug.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. It's just that… I just wasn't prepared for something like this to happen." Then Ikuto picked me up.

"C'mon. You've had a tiring day. Lets go back." I looked up at Ikuto. Wrong move. The pain just dug into me even more. Ikuto focused once again on getting us back home and tried to act like everything was fine but I saw it. The expression on his face. It was filled with pain.
