End of Recap
Amu's POV
Ran, Miki, Suu, Dia and I were just walking to the cafeteria together, it was Friday so we're going to make plans for the weekend. "What are you going to do tomorrow Amu-chan?" Dia asked. "I dunno, just sit around the house I guess" I shrugged. "But that's sooo boring Amu!" Ran said as energetic as always. "What about you guys?" I asked curiously. "We're invited to a swimsuit party" Miki said while sketching. "Why don't you come with us ~desu?" Suu asked. "Nah, I don't wanna be a bother to you guys plus I'm not even invited" I said.
"You won't be a bother actually it'll only be more fun!" Ran said waving her pompoms. "But I'm still not invited" I sighed. "Well we were invited by a friend we'll just ask if we can take one more person with us" Dia said sweetly. "I'll think about it" I smiled. "Come on Amuuu! You have to go!" Ran whined. "Alright, I guess I really don't have a choice then" I sighed. I might have made it sound like I was forced into this but actually I'm really looking forward, y'know going to a party with a friend 'I haven't been to a party in a really long time' I thought.
Ikuto's POV
I was just sitting in the cafeteria with my friends when some questions suddenly popped up. "Where's Ran?" Daichi asked. "And where's Miki" Yoru asked. "Ah you already miss your little girlfriend Yoru" I smirked. Yoru blushed. "S-She's not my girlfriend even if she was it's still a lot better than Little Miss Stuck-up Saaya" Yoru said with a smirk himself now. "I don't care if you're my cousin if you call Saaya that one more time I'll beat you to pulp" I said threatening. "Ooh I'm so scared now!" Yoru said sarcastically while rolling his eyes. "Why you little-" I said while being interrupted by Tadase. "Look there they are!" Tadase sighed hoping the fight would end here.
And in walked the girls but wait… There was a fifth person behind them. I saw a shade of pink but it wasn't clear enough since Dia stood in front of it. When Dia sat down I noticed the person was, Amu! My eyes widened but quickly went back to normal before anyone could even noticed they widened. Ran then said something but I didn't catch since I was concentrated on Amu. Then Utau slapped me on the back of my head "Ow, what the hell was that for?" I asked angrily. "Pay attention she's asking you a question blockhead" Utau said angrily and then walked back to her own seat. "As I was saying" Ran sighed hoping I was finally listening.
"Can you please do me a favor?" Ran asked with hopeful and pleading eyes different from her usual cheerful and happy ones so I figured it whatever this favor is it must mean the world to her. "What is it" I asked. "Can I take an extra friend to the party?" She asked. "Depends on who it is" I shrugged. "It's Amu-chan" Dia said stepping into the conversation. "Amu? Are you guys friends?" I asked raising an eyebrow. All four of the girls nodded.
"Ran, Miki, Suu and Dia's friends are Yaya's friends too!" Yaya shouted cheerfully. "Then I guess that makes you my friend as well" Kairi said. "Hey me too I know Hinamori better than you guys!" Kukai said with his goofy smile. "Me too!" Daichi shouted. "I'd love to be your friend as well, after all you taught Ryuu a lesson" Utau laughed. "Ah you're so cruel Utau-chan" Ryuu pouted "But I'd like to be your friend to let's start over Hinamori-san" Ryuu smiled "Then I'll be your friend too" Rima shrugged. "I would like to be your friend too, if that's what you want" Tadase said politely "Me too ~nya" Yoru grinned. "What about you Nagi?" Rima asked turning to Nagi. "Well I hope that Amu-chan and I are still friends" Nagi said.
"What do you mean 'still'?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Amu just simply smiled at Nagihiko and Nagihiko smiled back. "We went to elementary school together" Amu said with a sweet and calm voice, which was surprising from her. I'm starting to wonder, Is so really cool 'n spicy? Is she really so tough and independent? And is she truthfully always speaking her mind? "Really?" Yaya asked curiously. "Hmph" Nagihiko said. "Are we still friends, Amu-chan?" Nagihiko asked with hopeful smile. "Of course" Amu said happily. "Alright, Hinamori welcome to our table you're gonna eat lunch here from now on" Kukai said ruffling Amu's hair. And the rest of the break we just sat that introducing ourselves to Amu and getting to know her, though she seems more friendly than I thought I really can't figure out what she's like.
Then suddenly a great idea hit me after school. "Ikuto are you coming already?'' Utau asked me. "Nah just go home without me" I shrugged. "Whatever then I'll just go buy a swimsuit with the girls" Utau said. Utau then left headed to the mall with Amu, Rima, Yaya, Ran, Miki, Suu and Dia. "Alright, let's get this plan started" I said to myself with a naughty smirk. "What plan?" An all too familiar voice asked from behind me. I turned around and it was Saaya. "Oh nothing much, just something I wanted to do" I said. "Okay… Will you come over tonight I got this really romantic movie we could watch together" Saaya asked hopefully.
Dammit I can't let her down then I'll feel guilty for like eternity. "Fine" I sighed. Saaya's face almost immediately lit up. "Great I'll see you at 7" Saaya said happily. She than gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Bye, bye Ikuto-kun" She waved me goodbye and walked to the black limousine that was sent to pick her up. "Bye" I said waving my hand in the air lazily and walked to school earlier. I quickly sneaked to the principal's office with my catlike skills making sure no one would see me. I got there a closed the door with a sigh in there was the principal Tsukasa he's a good friend of mine so I was safe. "What brings you here Ikuto-kun?" Tsukasa asked gently as always. "I need to see a history file of a new student" I said immediately getting to the point. "Ah, who is it?" Tsukasa asked immediately going through the files.
"Hinamori Amu's file" I said suddenly Tsukasa stood still in a bit of a shock. "Are you sure you can handle that?" Tsukasa asked nervously. "Of course, why wouldn't I be able to handle a history file?" I asked a little confused. "Alright here you go" He sighed handing me the file. "I read it through and just saw some basic information but then something really shocking came by, my eyes widened and I dropped the file. "As I thought you couldn't handle it after all" Tsukasa sighed picking up all the papers and putting it back in to the folder. "Something so sad and dark how can a person live on with that" I frowned. 'Is she so cold because she's isolating herself from everyone?
~FLASHBACK~
It was on the news today that a baby was found by the freeway today, they're going to find her a foster family, we could only find a man Tsumugu who wanted to take adopt her he seemed perfectly fine so we let him the child's name was Amu. "Listen up Amu-chan" Tsumugu said. "Yes daddy" Amu said back obediently. "It's a tough world out there so when you turn 6 next week I'm gonna teach you how to take care of yourself, got it?" Tsumugu told her. "Understood, daddy" Amu nodded. Amu's foster dad taught her boxing and even how to get money and about our economy, he taught her responsibility and how to take perfect care of herself then when she turned 11 he left her. The only parent she ever knew the only one he took care of her she cried her eyes out all days until she found a letter he left her.
Dear Amu-chan,
I'm sorry I left you I really love you and miss you there's just one problem.
I have a debt with some guys back here and they're probably gonna look for me so I'm on the run. I promise I'll come back for you when I've paid my debt. Though it's probably gonna take a really long time. I left a train ticket to Kyoto in this envelope stay there until you're 16 and then move to Tokyo, if you do that and stay there I'll promise to find you I already packed your bags. Make sure that if you hid anything valuable somewhere to take it with you also burn this letter someone might find you and will try to chase you. You mustn't trust ANYONE.
I love you very much, Tsumugu your foster dad.
Amu broke one promise she didn't burn the letter she kept it with her. Before she left to the station she looked under the cushions of the couch and took out something valuable the only thing she had with her when she was left behind by the freeway, it was a necklace it had a golden lock dangling with heart shaped diamonds around the keyhole it was called the Humpty Lock. For the rest Amu did as told she tried to stay of the radar as much as possible she didn't make a single friend except for Nagihiko on school, Nagihiko already moved to Tokyo when they were 12 so she was most likely happy they were in the same schools. Amu lives alone in an apartment in Kyoto since she's 11 and now she lives alone in an apartment in Tokyo struggling to pay the rent and make money the way her father taught her so honestly her life is quite lonely and sad.
~End of Flashback~
Ikuto's POV
That's so sad… Amu has been struggling and alone since her foster parent left her. I don't know why he left her or why Amu moved from place to place. But there's only one way to find out… I need to win Hinamori Amu's trust not just to figure her out, but to add a bit of happiness to her sad and dark life.
