Chapter Two: Nightmares Abound!
Amu saw the Embryo floating above her. She stretched out in an attempt to reach it, but it flew ever so slightly out of her reach. "Dia! Let's catch it this time!" she cried as she flew towards it. But something was wrong. She heard gunshots.
"Amu-chan, watch out!" Ran, Miki, and Su proclaimed all at once.
Amu looked behind her. A man with a gun was aiming straight for her. He pulled the trigger. Amu froze. Just then, Ikuto jumped in front of her, character transformed with Yoru. The bullet hit him. Amu watched, horrified as Ikuto fell, blood seeping through his outfit. And then she screamed. "Nooo! Ikuto!" She followed him. The last thing she saw of him was Yoru's egg flying out of him and breaking into a million pieces.
Amu woke with a start, tears pouring down her face. She wiped them away slowly, as if she didn't know what to believe. Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia flew to Amu's side. "Amu-chan! What's wrong?" Miki questioned.
Amu shook her head. "I-I'm fine. It was just a nightmare." She looked at her clock to see that her alarm would go off in about three minutes, so she sat up and got out of bed, yawning. "That was so weird," she murmured as she walked to the bathroom to start getting ready.
When she walked downstairs, her mom looked at her in surprise. "You're up early, Amu-chan."
Amu just nodded as she sat at the table. She was still contemplating her nightmare as Ami came to the dinner table. "Onee-chan! Onee-chan! Do you like my dwess?" she cried as she twirled around.
Amu smiled. "It looks great."
Ami frowned at her sister. "What's wong, onee-chan?" she asked.
Amu shook her head. "Nothing, Ami. Why do you ask?"
Ami just shrugged and, satisfied with Amu's answer, went back to being cute and striking poses for her dad who had just walked in with his camera.
Amu finished her breakfast quickly and left the house. Along the way she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched. She shrugged it off however, as her charas started bugging her about being early. "We usually have to drag Amu-chi out of her bed! She must be sick~desu!" Su teased.
Dia focused on Amu for a moment. "You're worried about your dream," she stated.
Amu just nodded. She had the funny feeling that something bad was going to happen… She could just sense it. It seemed as if Dia could sense it, too.
Just then, Amu ran into Nagihiko just then. He didn't conceal his surprise as he said, "You're early today."
Amu nodded. "Just wanted to be on time today," she commented as she shrugged, letting her "cool and spicy" character take over.
Nagihiko just chuckled. "Want to come with me to the Royal Garden?" he asked.
Amu nodded. Just the thought that Tadase might be there erased any unease that she had.
A/N: This chapter isn't my favorite… But I figured this was the best way to introduce the nightmare…. Glad you guys are enjoying it! Keep reading and reviewing and I shall keep updating!!!
