#*# Ikuto's POV #*#

I was having an amazing dream when my, oh so very annoying butler, I'd guess you'd call him that, came in.

"IKUTO! NYA!" he yelled while violently shaking me awake. "Your Parents when in their study chambers at once, nya!"

"Yoru, you know better then anyone that I prefer to sleep to at least noon." I told him matter-of-factly.

Yoru was looking at me patiently, waiting for me to finish my little speech. But when I was done he shoved a clock in my face.

"I know that. That's why I woke you know!" he smugly smiled while pointing to the clock that read 12:01.

I grumbled then got up to get changed, when Yoru scurried out of the room.

:x. Study Chamber .x:

I was in front of the two large golden coloured, wood doors. When I heard it, it was the must horrifying sound you could ever hear, if you were in my position.

"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!" there it was again, I cringed.

Then I unconsciously knocked on the door, signaling my arrival. I reached for the golden handle, turned it ever so slowly, and opened the door to my death. But what I saw was astonishing. There wasn't anyone there, just my parents.

Wow! I must be going crazy. I thought to myself.

"Ah! There you my son." My father said proudly while smiling at me.

My mother turned to me and smiled a more greeting smile then my father's. My father then motioned her to leave, she nodded then turned to me and smiled, though this time it seemed as though she was trying to apologize for something. I brushed it off as soon as my father told my to sit.

"What do you want this time, Father?" I asked him angrily.

"As, you my know you 18th birthday was yesturday," he said, god I know what he's going to say next, "So your mother and I have prepared several princesses."

"Dad! You and mother both know I will not choose a wife!" I told him sternly, he simply smiled. I hate when he smiles, no smirks, like that.

"HA! Don't worry about a thing son. We have a test for the princess to go through." He chuckled, while I grimaced.

!?! Amu's POV !?!

I woke up with the sound of birds chirping. I smiled. I love how easy my life is when I first wake up. But this is where that feeling ends.

"Amu! Get out of bed and go fetch some water!" My father, who looked nothing like me yelled. Actually, come to think of it I don't really know his name at all.

FLASHBACK (Amu 11yrs,)

"Papa?" I said

"Yes." My father turned to me and smiled kindly, "What is it, darlin'?"

"All my friends know their parents' names, and I don't. Why is that?" I asked curiously.

Papa scowled at then turned away, grumbling something along the lines of "nosey kid".

But my smiled turn to a frown when he turned around and growled, "Go get water."

"NOW!" he yelled at me.

I whipped around and ran off whimpering.

END FLASHBACK

It was never the same after that I've never met my mother, though she is in the house, according to my father. Who I've never ask about his name again because every time I get on the subject he throws something at the wall and on rare occasions me.

"I don't see water on the table!" he yelled.

I quickly go changed in to the ripped clothes he gave me. When I asked why at had such ratty clothing when we were nobles. He would always turn around and tell that good clothes have to be earned and I have not earned them yet.

Once I got my clothes on I was out the door in a matter of minutes. I walked down to the barn where buckets were. Once I had a bucket I, went to the back of the barn and got the dog I had rescued a couple days ago. Still hadn't named it, but when I told it I would come three times a day to take it out with me when I got water, it seemed pretty happy.

We were walking to the well, when a friend of mine, who was forbidden to ever talk to me, came running up.

"Hey, Amu. I haven't seen you in forever." She said smiling.

"Ya, I know. You have some pretty strict parents." I told her.

The dog was pulling on my pant leg and whimpering.

Shot! I forgot I had to bring water to father.

"Sorry, Utau. I have to go." I said turning on my heels about to run towards the house when Utau grabbed my arm.

"I hate how your so-called father is treating you." She said to me. I smiled at her,

"You know who my parents are. If they knew what he was doing to I'm positive they'd let you stay at are house." She told me. Though the offer was tempting, I shoke my head refusing the offer. She sighed and I ran off. After I put the dog away I walked to the house. Then put the bucket of water on the kitchen counter.

"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!" my father's voice was filled with rage. I sucked in a breath, Oh Shit! I thought while slowly turning around.
