"WAKE UP!" a loud voice shouted.

I grunted as I turned around , grabbing a pillow a throwing it at the unlucky guy , "Shut up , Kuukai..."

"Ouch! What the hell! Hinamori!" he shouted.

"Shut up.." I muttered . Damn it Kuukai , so irritating..

I buried my face under my pillow as I tried to sleep.

Wait..Kuukai?

Kuukai..

KUUKAI?

Immediately , I jerked up into a sitting position , eyes wide in shock.

"Oh , you're finally up huh?" he grinned.

I pointed at him with shaky fingers as I demanded "W-what the hell are you doing here?"

He just continued grinning "Hurry up and wash up . We're going out right now"

"Huhhhh?" I asked , not understanding anything.

"Just hurry up down!" he shouted as he left my room with a bang on the door.

I blinked once and stared at the door as an imaginary '...' appeared around me.

"Amu-chan?" Ran's muffled voice asked.

I turned around to see my shugo charas rubbing their eyes , coming out of their eggs.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Why are you up so early?" Dia asked.

I sighed "Kuukai.."

"Are you going out?" Miki asked .

"Think so" I said.

She smiled "Can I draw you an outfit?"

I looked down "Sorry..Miki..your clothes..they just don't suit me anymore"

"Amu-chan.." she said looking at me sadly.

I sighed as I stood up "I'll go wash up"

I quickly picked up a white sweatshirt and jeans from the side of my bed and walked into the bathroom in my room.

I stuffed the brush into my mouth and brush as fast as I could . Spitting out the water , I wiped my mouth on a cloth as I surveyed my reflection , sighing.

I looked disastrous . Messy black hair with honey eyes that were hidden by my fringe.. Argh! I look so boring...

I turned slightly as I looked at a small bottle of liquid water . The words 'Dye remover' was labelled on it.

I slowly reached a hand to it , like I always do . My shugo charas stared at me with hope .

Make yourself so happy and prove that you can be happy even without him

"Kuukai..." I whispered.

With determination , I grabbed the dye remover for the first time.

I looked up at them and smiled "Think you can help me with this?"

Their eyes went wide and they cheered happily "Of course!"

(A while later)

"Mama?" I asked as I got downstairs.

"Oh, Hinamori" Kuukai called from the sofa , watching some kind of documentary from my TV with my mom.

"Turn around" I whispered.

"Huh? Come and watch this , its actually pretty ni-" he said as he turned.

He's eyes went wide as he stared at me.

"Kuukai?" Mom asked as she started to face me.

She gasped "Amu-chan!"

I looked down "Does it..look weird?"

"OF COURSE NOT!"

I stared at Kuukai in surprise "E-eh?"

He blinked and blushed as he rubbed his neck "N-no , I mean.. Y-you look great"

"Really?" I asked.

"Y-yeah.." he said.

"Amu-chan!" Mom shouted all of the sudden as she hugged me.

"M-mama?" I asked.

"I'm soo glad! I missed your pink hair! My dear daughter is finally back!" she whined as she rubbed her cheek with mine.

"Mama..." I said looking at her.

She smiled "Amu-chan..I don't know hat happened to you three years ago to cause such a drastic change in you , but I want you to know , that we are always here for you"

I stared at her in shock. I'd block her out for three years and she still smiles at me and says this?

A smile appeared on my face "Yeah..."

Her eyes went wide "AMU-CHAN!"

Before I knew it , she was crushing me in a bone tight hug "I haven't seen you smile in a long time!"

I laughed "Mama! I can't breath!"

She let go of me "Oops..."

"Amu-chan , Kuukai told me about your outing today . Have fun , okay?" Mom smiled.

I blinked "What outing"

"We're giving you a makeover" Kuukai said bluntly.

"Huhhh...Wait..What?" I asked.

He just grinned "Let's go"

"Wait" Mom said.

I watched as she came back with a purple plaid handbag(Profile) "Here you go"

"What?" I asked.

She smiled "I placed things you might need in there . And I gave you some cash too . Buy yourself some new clothes"

"But I don't need new clothes!" I protested.

"Well..actually , you need"She said with a glint in her eyes.

I stared at her for awhile.

I narrowed my eyes ".?"

She shrugged "I threw them away"

My eyes went wide "YOU WHAT?"

"Oh relax , besides , since you dyed your hair , you probably don't want those anymore"

I blinked ... Well...true...

I sighed "Fine.."

"Great! Let's go!" Kuukai grinned , and before I knew it , he was dragging me out super damn fast-ly.

"W-wait!" I shouted.

"We're here!" he said in a few seconds later.

I sweatdropped . We were standing in front of the new mall . the one that takes at least ten minutes to reach even by car... He ran in five seconds...

I sighed "So. What's the plan?"

"Clothes" he said plainly.

"Huh?" I asked.

He surveyed me up and down , making me blush slightly "You need new clothes . Your pink hair looks great but the clothes.. By the way..what happened with your fringe?"

"M-miki dealt with it" I stuttered slightly.

"Hmm.." he said.

"Hey" he started "Why don't we split up to see some clothes before we meet again and decide what to actually buy?"

I blinked "Sure I guess.."

He grinned "Great! Oh , and lend me Miki and Dia! Seeya!"

"Wait..WHAT?" I shouted , but he was already gone.

"What the... " I said as I stared at the space in front of me .

"He's working hard for your sake isn't he?" Ran grinned.

I blinked.

"Amu-chan , don't you think that he actually looks cool n the slightest when he's trying his best?" Suu asked.

I blinked as I felt heat go up my face.

I faced the side and said "I-I guess.."

"Oh! It's cool and spicy character! Yay! Long time no see!" Ran cheered.

A vein popped out of my head "Hey! Ran!"

"Haha! Amu-chan is mad!" Ran cheered as she ran away from.

"Stop there!" I shouted as I chased them .

"Amu-chan! Over here desu~~" Suu grinned.

"Hey!" I shouted.

(2 hours later)

"Kuukai..what..is that?" I asked the numerous amout of bags he was holding.

"Your new clothes" he grinned.

My eyes went wide "How did you even get enough money to buy that much?"

"I didn't buy it" he said . Still grinning.

"What?" I asked.

"I designed it" Miki grinned.

"You..what?" I asked.

Dia giggled "Their really good . They all bring out your radiance"

"Is that why you brought them away?" I asked.

He smiled "I figured if I wanted to get something which suited you , I had to ask your heart"

My eyes went wide. A small tint of pink rised to my cheeks "T-thanks.."

"So , did you see anything?" he asked.

"No. I was chasing Ran" I said bluntly.

"Huh?" he blinked.

I sighed and pointed at Suu and Ran "They just had to piss me off"

He stared at me before bursting out in laughter.

"H-hey! Stop that!" I pouted.

He grinned and ruffled my hair "You're finally back"

"Eh?" I stared at him.

"I missed you , Hinamori" he whispered.

"Kuu..kai" I said.

I small smile came to my face "Thanks..its all thanks to you.. If you never woke me up from that dream , I would never be able to do this"

Suddenly , he moved away from me and face the other side.

"Kuukai?" I asked.

He was covering his face with the back of his hand , looking away.

"Oh...could it be that...you are blushing?" I smirked.

He's eyes went wide "NO!"

"Sure you're not" I teased.

"Shut up!" he snapped.

I giggled "Catch me if you can!"

"Stop right there!" he shouted as he tried to run while wrestling with 30+ bags.

(Later)

"Wow...you really drew a bunch huh?" I said , sweatdropping as I looked at the hundreds of skirts and dresses placed all over my bed and floor . Yep , my room was now much bigger than the past . Like..4 times bigger?

"Yep" Miki grinned.

"Amu-chan?"

I turned around and faced my door "Come in"

The door opened and mom stood there looking... worried?

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Amu-chan..I just wanted to ask you something" she started.

"Sure" I said.

She made her way over to me , trying not to step of the clothes on the floor as she settled down on a cushion next to me "How do you feel..about my divorce with daddy?"

I blinked "Huh?"

"I mean.. Don't you miss Ami? And Papa? Truth to be told , I always thought that was the reason why you became so...gloomy...Sorry..Mama isn't good at protecting her marriage and I caused you to be hurt..." she said looking down.

"Mama..do you regret it?" I asked.

She looked surprised.

"No.." she said looking on the floor "I never regretted it . I was always fighting with him.. It was as though those days would never come back . I alway felt it was better to do so"

I smiled "Then I'm alright with it"

"Amu-chan" she said as she began to smile.

"Hey..can I ask you something too?" I asked shyly.

It was in my chest for so long..I had to get it out

"Why did you choose me over Ami?" I asked.

She blinked and moved her hand to touch my hair "Because I missed you"

"Missed?" I asked.

"Amu-chan.. Ever since Ami was born , you've been trying hard to be a good sister , haven't you?" she asked.

My eyes went wide.

"I could tell . Because , the Amu-chan I knew , was a cheerful and kind girl who was never afraid to express her feelings . A girl who would force her parents to get on every ride with her at an amusement park . A girl who loved it when her father took photos of her and a girl who loved..to be herself" she smiled sadly "But..ever since Ami was born , that side of you disappeared.. I've always wanted to change that . I knew it was my fault . I neglected you . So much that it became such that we became someone you couldn't even tell the simplest thing to...That's why I chose you . At first I was unsure.. But , when we asked Ami , she actually told me she wanted to be with your dad"

"She did?" I asked in shock.

She smiled "I knew it somehow though , Ami and Tsumugu were the closest father and daughter ever"

"That's why I knew that I could leave her in her father hands . But I knew if you left with him instead , you'll lose yourself even more . That's why I chose you. I wanted to find back my daughter . My daughter who always made me feel like I was the happiest being on earth" she smiled.

"Mama.." I whispered .

"Sorry..from keeping things from you" I whispered.

She smiled "Its okay , its not your fault"

"Mama.." I said as I separated from her.

"The reason I was behaving like that..wasn't your fault..its..." I started.

Mom looked at me.

"Its..its Ikuto..." I whispered.

Her eyes went wide "The boy that stayed with you in the past?"

I nodded "He..left...to look for his father..for three years...and he didn't even contact me..."

"Oh my! Amu-chan!" she said hugging me tightly .

Suddenly , tears flowed down . I clutched the fabric of mom's shirt tightly "Mama! It hurts! I hate him so much.. But I just can't help wishing he was here.."

"I understand..Amu-chan" she whispered "Its okay. Just cry it out"

Before I knew it , I was releasing 3 years of tears.

When I finally stopped , mom smiled and brushed her thumb over my cheek "Alright now?"

I nodded . I felt relieved . No more pain , nothing . Just happiness . Happiness that came from the fact that I was finally able to face reality .

"Good . My princess isn't pretty when she cries" she said.

I blinked and smiled as I felt a sense of nostalgic .

I remembered the times when I was young . Whenever I got into some accident and started crying , she would always whisper to me "Don't cry , Amu-chan . Mama's princess isn't pretty when she cries".

And then she would tuck me into bed whispering the words "Goodnight , my princess.."

As though sensing what I was thinking , she smiled at me.

"Now..let's get things cleared up , shall we?" she asked , grinning as she stood up , surveying my room.

"Eh?" I asked.

She smiled "Its about time you slept . You have school tomorrow , don't you?"

I nodded slightly , suddenly feeling all my gastric juice twirl like a tornado in my stomach.

I was going to school tomorrow . In pink hair.

Shit.

Shit.

Crap.

Crap.

Freak.

I'm dying.

I'm dying.

I'll die.

No.

I'll die now!

"Amu-chan?" Mom's voice broke me from my thoughts.

I sighed "Tomorrow..is going to be so...ugh.."

She laughed "Just do your best"

I blinked and smiled .

Yeah. I just have to do my best.

Who cares anyway .

"H-hey , Mama , c-can I havea selfish request?" I asked nervously.

"Yes?" she blinked.

I moved my fingers around the hem of my shirt unconsciously "Umm.. Can..I ..err ..sleep with you tonight?"

She blinked" Huh?"

"I-its alright if you don't want-" I started .

"Of course I want" she said.

I blinked "Eh?"

She smiled "Why wouldn't I? You're my daughter"

I smiled "Mama.."

"Alright , let's clear this up and go to bed , shall we?" she smiled.

I grinned and nodded.
