Disclaimer: As usual, I own nothing but the storyline… If I did, however, own Shugo Chara, I would totally have Amu end up with Ikuto! Thanks to those who keep reviewing! I'm glad ya'll like!
Chapter Eight: My Heart's Wish!
Amu could only see her Guardian Characters in the blinding pink light. It was almost as if it were another world. Amu felt tears on her cheeks.
"Amu-chan, I'm sure he's okay," Ran tried.
Miki was silent. She hovered next to her master with a look of shock on her face.
Suddenly, a voice said, "I am the Embryo. I know all that has happened."
Amu looked around for the source of the voice but couldn't. She just settled on looking in front of her. The tears kept coming.
"It is hard for you, Amu-chi . You have lost one that you secretly loved. What is your wish?" the embryo's voice washed over her.
Amu thought about it. "I-I want another… chance. I don't want Ikuto to die. Is there a way to save him?" she asked in desperation.
"You would rather him live than defeat Easter? The ones who have held him captive for so long? Would it not be better for him to die and be at peace now than to live and be held captive by them for as long as they survive?"
"No! How could you say that?!" Amu cried.
"I am just expressing the doubt in your heart," the Embryo replied.
Amu closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and wiped away her tears. She opened her eyes and shot a determined look in front of her.
"Then I won't doubt anymore. I wish for a way to save Ikuto so that he can live! I don't know what I would do without him!"
"Very well. Since to you he is infinitely for important than any dream I will rewind time. You and your Guardians will remember this but Ikuto will not. It is important that he doesn't remember. Save him, Amu; do not let this wish be in vain. And now, back to the beginning!" the Embryo's voice proclaimed as a bright white light enveloped them all.
The next thing Amu knew, she was in her room, holding a glass of milk.
A/N: I can't wait for the next chappie! See ya there! And please keep reading and reviewing!
