Chapter 8. Amu and a New Friend.

Zero's POV
Ikuto finally fell asleep. I smiled.

'He's finally asleep. I'm going to go explore for a while.'

I went out to the balcony and jumped off. I beat my wings against the air and took off. The town was pretty quiet at night. I eventually found a park and I landed on a tree branch. I looked up at the sky. It was not pitch black like most people describe it. Instead the sky was a navy blue color that reminded me of Ikuto. Little stars sparkled like diamonds. Then something pink caught my eye. Huh? A pink star? How is that even possible? The flash of pink disappeared.

"BOO!" someone yelled.

I flinched and I almost fell off the tree branch. I turned around to see who was behind me. I recognized the pink hair almost immediately. Amu.

"Amu, what the hell was that for?" I asked.

"I was just playing. You take things too seriously, Zero-kun." Amu giggled. "Anyway how's watching Ikuto going?"

"Not that great. Yesterday I found out that Ikuto's suicidal and he cuts himself." I said.

"He's still at it, huh?" Amu said. The usually cheery tone was gone. Instead there was a tone of disappointment.

"Hey, Amu. Do you know anything about Ikuto?" I asked.

"Yeah I do." Amu said in a serious voice.

" Five years ago, a man named Kazuomi Hoshina killed Ikuto's parents and forced Ikuto and his sister, Utau to work for a company called Easter." Amu explained. "and Ikuto's way of coping with that is cutting."

"But when he's around other people, he acts like nothing's wrong." I said.

"That's because Ikuto doesn't want anyone to get involved in his problems. He thinks he'll just be a burden to other people." Amu said.

'Ikuto's kinda like me. I know what it's like to have your family being killed.' I thought.

"Yo, Amu-chan!" a masculine voice called.

I looked around and saw the boy with long indigo hair and brown eyes.

"Hi Nagihiko!" Amu greeted with her cheery voice. "Why aren't you with Rima?"

"Rima's asleep. I got bored." the boy named Nagihiko said.

Nagihiko's gaze shifted to me then Amu remembered my presence.

"I almost ,this is Zero Kiryu" she introduced "and Zero, this is Nagihiko Fujisaki."

"Nice to meet you, Kiryu-kun." Nagihiko said as he extended a hand.

"Same with you Fujisaki-kun." I said as I grabbed his hand and shook it." You can just call me Zero."

"In that case, just call me Nagihiko or Nagi if you want."

"Well, I see that you two have gotten comfortable" Amu said.

"Can I hang with you guys?" Nagihiko asked.

"Sure. If Zero-kun doesn't mind." Amu said as she turned her head to me."Do you?"

I just shook my head.

"Okay! Zero-kun says you can stay!" Amu said happily.

"Hey, I noticed just now. Didn't I see you at school today?" Nagihiko asked.

I responded with "Yeah"

"No wonder. I had a feeling I saw you from somewhere?" Nagihiko said. " Who's guardian angel are you?"

"You know Ikuto Tsukiyomi?" I asked.

"The guy with the blue hair? Yeah I know him." Nagihiko responded. "So you're Ikuto's guardian angel."

I nodded.

"So, how's it going with Rima?" asked Amu.

"Her parents are still fighting but she's managing. Comedy really helps. Rima loves that stuff." Nagihiko said. "But she can get kinda lonely."

"Oh, that's good." Amu said.

While Amu and Nagihiko were chatting, I was thinking about what happened so far. Meeting Ikuto, seeing him cut himself, meeting some of his friends, and Easter. Oh yeah...Easter.

"Hey, can I ask you guys something?" I asked.

Amu and Nagihiko looked at me.

"Sure. What is it?" Amu said.

"What's an embryo?" I asked.

Nagihiko looked at me with a shocked expression.

"How could you not know what the Embryo is?" he asked " All angels know about it."

"Nagi" Amu whispered" He's new."

"Guess I got some explaining to do." Nagihiko sighed.

"The Embyro is a magical egg that can grant any wish no matter what it is" Nagihiko explained "But it's pretty rare though."

'So why would Easter want it?' I wondered.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice how dark it was.

"Hey, Amu. What time is it?" I asked.

"Uhhh. It's 12:30 in the morning." Amu replied.

"Shit! It's that late already?" I gotta go" I said.

"Awww. We just met." Nagihiko whined.

"I'll see you at school, right?" I said.

"Yeah. Well, it was nice meeting you, Zero" Nagihiko said before he left.

"Well, see you later, Zero-kun." Amu said.

I smiled and took off. I finally arrived at Ikuto's house a few minutes later. I sat on the floor next to the bed so I could see Ikuto's sleeping face. I folded my arms on the edge of the bed and I rested my head in beteen them. I stared at him for while before my eyelids get heavy and I fell asleep.

Me: Well thats chapter 8! I'm gonna go to hide the laptop now.
Zero: so you're getting payback eh?
Me: kinda
Zero: what do you mean kinda?
Me: Review please!
