"It was actually a few days after I returned to Europe...Lulu had asked me to go do some shopping with her and I was feeling down, so I went with her. While we were out, Lulu decided that she wanted to go to the amusement park so we went there." "Ah, I see, by the way how did you do it?" "Do?" "How did you get them to not tear down that amusement park?" "Ah, well, I just pulled a few strings and got them to repaint it and to redo some of the decorations as well, did you like it?" "Interesting I admitt..." "So...truthfully, you ride any of the rides?" "You've got to be joking." "No, I'm really not." "Ah...well...not really." "Why?" "Ah, I'm not exactly the same as I was then, you know..." "Aww! No fair, oh well, guess that means that I can be the one to take you on one." "What! Oh, no!" "Why not? I'm not going to make you ride the teacups again...unless you want me to..." "No, I don't." "Then I wont..." "Anyway, you changed the subject!" "Did I? I never noticed." "Yeah, yeah, back to your story." "Oh, right."
"Like I said, we went to the amusement park, and got seperrated when we got on the faris wheel. It was on the faris wheel that I met your father, I actually thought that your father was you, I mean the two of you look alot alike. Anyway, long story short, we got to talking and found out that he was your father. It was a few days later that I saw him again, while waiting for Lulu. He was reading in the park and I happened to glance over and thats when I saw him." "Huh, so how did it go from a mere run in, to him coming back here to Japan, and me seeing him hugging you?" "Well, I was heading back to the apartment, when I heard music coming from an open window. hm, the way that I heard it, it reminded me of the way you play your violin." "I see." "I went to find out who was playing, and saw that it was your father, so I sat down outside the window and listened to him play, until I fell asleep. I don't know what time it was, but he came to close the window and saw me there sleeping. I woke up and explained why I had been there listening, then I left." "I see, that still doesn't explain..." "Yeah, well, I was continuing my walk home, when a car pulls up and inside is your father. He offers me a lift home and thats when I asked him, why he was taking time out of his day to give me a lift home, you know what he told me?" "Whats that?" "That he was being kind to me, because in my eyes he could see a sad little girl that desperatly wants to go home to her own family." "Huh, I see." "He was right, and after that I started spending a bit more time with him, it got me out of all the Easter business and all that stuff...but then one day I had transformed into Death Angel, and had already sliced the Xeggs from several people's hearts, when your father came by. He talked me into stopping, and letting the eggs return to their hosts. After that, he insisted that I live with him in his house, ever since then I have been. Then he convinced me to come back to Japan, but he had to return for work. Thats when he came back today." "Ah, so he was sort of, your parental person, huh?" "Yeah, I guess. He taught me to play the violin and how to control my transformations, until I didn't have them anymore." "Huh, well, I guess there was a good thing in you running back to Europe, huh?" "Hey, I left a note saying why I had to go so suddenly." Amu was all flustered, and Ikuto just chuckled his normal chuckle. "Hey!" "I was joking." He said and pulled her into his arms.
"So...do you have a violin?" "Hm? Yeah I do." "Can I see it?" "Mhm, come see." Amu led Ikuto into a room, that her sensei had given her to use for practice and keeping her violin in. "Hm?" "Here it is." "Oh...its...blue!" "Yeah, so that a problem?" "No, but its weird." "What? Having a blue violin? I have a green one too, and a golden colored one...oh and..." "There are mini spades on this." "Mhm, this is my Spade violin, the green is my clover, the gold my..." "Let me guess, your diamond one?" "Mhm, oh and my other one is the heart one." "Heart?" "Mhm, its in the repair shop right now, due to a string breaking, I pick it up tomorrow, along with my customized carrying cases and bows." "Huh...what color is your heart one?" "Pink." "Pink...do you know a girl named Uma Himamori?" "Mhm, shes me. I switched my first name around and just used the last name Nikaido used to call me." "Ah...wait...how'd you get that good?" "Like I said, most of my free time I spent learning to play and control my transformations. So I learnt very quickly." "Ah, makes sense." "Mhm." "So...then this little book is yours?" "Oh! There it is! I thought I'd lost it." "So it is yours...why do you have songs written in here?" "Ha...to keep my real reason for working for Easter a secret, I had to become a singer." "Ah...you a singer?" "Shut up." Amu said, slightly wrenching free from his arms. "Hey, hey, don'tbe mad." "I'm not mad, I'm embarrased..." "Don't be that either." "Hm...fine, but only if..." "If what?" "We can go to the amusement park tomorrow." "Ah...ha, fine, we'll go to the park tomorrow." "Promise?" "Pro..." "Make a promise, you have to keep it, remember." "Ah, course..." "Like I kept my promise a long time ago, about making sure that the park didn't get shut down." "When'd you make that one?" "When you werent around, I mean it seemed so important to you, so I made sure to keep it active." "Huh. Thank you." "No problem."
