AUTHORS NOTE~~~~

Let the real story begin!

I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA :3

Ikuto P.O.V

While Kukai and Utua were arguing back and forth about which movie to pick I was sitting on the chair near the stereo set watching the two as I mused myself. Never gets old..

I got up and walked towards the kitchen when i spot Nagihiko sitting at the dining table staring intensly at the books before him. I strode over the marble floors as i lean across his shoulder. He obviously noticed me since he let out a deep sigh but he kept his eyes fixed strongly on the pages.

"What ar.." But i was cut off.

"studying, now go away!" he said hastily.

"your no fun..." i mumbled but i trailed back towards the kitchen. I grabbed a glass out of the cabinet as i heard the phone ringing. At that same time my mother came strolling into the kitchen. I swept past the phone and pressed the speaker button and opened the fridge. My mother gave me a disapproving stare since she preferred it if i didn't put in on speakers incase it's a family related matter. I just shrugged it off as she went to pick up the device. I poured myself some milk and threw back about half the glass to calm my thirst.

I looked up from my glass to find my mom staring wide eyed at the screen.

i gulped down the rest and placed the glass on the counter.

"Mom?"

She swallowed hard and took a shaky breath as she slowly put the phone to her ear.

I walked up to her and leaned my ear to the other side not acknowledging the fact she was trying to swat me away with her hand.

We only heard soft choked up sobs coming form the other line.

"Hello?. my mother asked a little loudly.

"H... H...He...Hel..p " We heard a hoarse rough but female voice say.

" Midori? Amu?" She was started to get panicky.

The woman stayed silent and then the line went dead.

My mother removed the phone from her ear and stared at the screen which had showed the Hinamori residence caller ID just a moment ago. I look worriedly at my mother who was doing her best to recompose herself.

"I... I think that was Amu.."

AMU P.O.V

I had only put the phone to my ear to find my efforts were futile as tears started rolling down my cheeks. I couldn't hear anyone talk, let alone hear it ring at all. I had tried my best to speak but to me it was unknown if the words had even escaped my lips. It terrified me. I suddenly felt exhausted.. I'm sure mom will be back soon. There's no way she'd just leave... I reassured myself. I decided to wait on the couch for her as i calmed myself down. But sleep claimed me instead.

IKUTO P.O.V

Mother had told us all to go upstairs so she could discuss matters with dad. But the stubborn kid I was I, I 'declined' that offer. The living room lights were on and I stood around the corner so i would not be noticed.

"I think it was definitely Amu.. or maybe even Midori..In either case I need to go there to see if everything is alright. I need to.."

Dad gave a reassuring nod and put his arm around her shoulder as they sat in silence

Mom had left the following day and had informed us she'd be back in most likely 3 days, but it also depended on the situation..

Three days had passed and it was now Tuesday. I didn't dwell on the matter I after all had more 'Important' matters at hand. Video games.

My phone vibrated as i was making my way downstairs , once there i took it out and read over the message.

Ikuto-

Tell Utua to prepare the guest bedroom, her phones dead to i'm giving you the responsibility of handing over the message. I'll be back in the evening. Make sure theres no friends in the house. Love you.

~Mom.

The part about Utuas phone being dead didn't surprise me, she used it way to much resulting in it often being dead. However the part of the Guest bedroom did...

I delivered the message to Utua and then proceeded to play Skyrim.

And thus the evening came.

Me dad, Utua, Kukai, And Nagihiko we sitting in the living room playing cards, when we heard the front door softly opening and closing. And in the hallway appeared my mothers now Tired, worn out upset face. Her eyes were filled with something I couldn't quite place. And beside her, a slender girl with vibrant pink hair that ended at her shoulder blades, her eyes were hidden beneath her hair. But one she looked up. They were cold.. empty voids..Filled with ice..And fear.

"Amu.."

Well sorry it's a little short :3 I have a trip tomorrow. But maybe i'll update either way. If peole even know this story exists.. haha.
