AN: Choco Waffle here! This is the first Chapter to Sacrifices and it's just a small skip to where Amu is at the airport, ready to leave but many surprises await her before she leaves. If you're wondering where all the Charas are gone then I'll tell you: They all have yearly exam which takes one week. All the Charas will be back in Chapter 2, so don't worry! Enjoy!

It was the day. It had finally arrived. The day when Hinamori Amu was leaving japan to go to America for 2 years.

"Be safe okay honey?" their parents repeated again and again at the airport. They thought that Amu had a 2-year scholarship to an elite school.

"Will do" she replied in her 'Cool 'n' Spicy' tone.

"Cool 'n' Spicy!" little mi and her father exclaimed, stars in their eyes.

"We'll miss you so much honey!" her mother cried before wrapping Amu in a death hug. She stayed on the spot with an emotionless look on her face.

"Bye-Bye Amu-onee-chan!" her little sister cried with big droplets of tears in her eyes as they began walking away leaving her by herself.

Amu POV

I won't cry. I definitely won't. This is for the fate of everyone close to me. Damn I didn't even tell them! I didn't even tell them I was going to America! Just before I was going to the electric gates to catch my flight –which was in 20 minutes- something stops me.

"Amu!" I hear a group of voices shout out at me. It's them! But I gotta act like I didn't hear that… even though Australia could hear that! Trying to walk away I feel two strong arms around my waist lifting me up, before turning me to see 7 people glaring at me. It's Ikuto, Rima, Tadase, Yaya, Naghiko, Nadeshiko and Utau. I instantly feel defeated.

"Explain" Rima coldly says before I feel the strong arms place me on the ground, revealing who was carrying me before. It was Kukai.

"I-I-I…" I stammer helplessly. Then I look over at my suitcase. Then at the gates. Then back at my suitcase. I could make a run for this! Before I could even swivel my suitcase around, Ikuto grabs it and puts it behind him which means it's out of my grasp. Then I think, 'I could go without a suitcase!'

"Before you even think about going without a suitcase, don't. We won't let you" Ikuto bluntly says putting my hopes down.

"Explain" Rima repeats getting annoyed by the seconds. We stay there for a minute before I speak up.

"I-I'm sorry guys" I start. Everyone looks at me confusedly. "All I can say is that it's all for you guys" I say looking up at them. I go and grab my suitcase off Ikuto, before I start walking away from them.

"Wait" Ikuto exclaims.

"Wait Amu, when will you be back?!" Kukai shouts out at me.

"Are you just going to leave us like that?!" This time it was Utau shouting at me. I kept on going.

"Amu, don't leave us" The twins- Naghiko and Nadeshiko- yell.

"Amu-chan is a liar" I abruptly stop. It was Yaya who said that. "You traitor!" she continued. "You said that we'll always be a team forever!" Yaya was crying now. "What about when you said you'll make me cake?!" My eyes go wide at this.

Flashback…

"What's your dream Yaya?" Everyone asks her looking at her.

"I want… my mom to come home one day and make me cake for the first time!" she replied smiling brightly. Everyone's eyes go wide in shock. 'Make cake? For the first time…' The room is silent before Amu speaks up.

"I'll learn how to make cake and I'll make you the best cake ever in the whole world!" she exclaims hugging her tightly.

End of Flashback…

"You said that you'll make me the best cake in the whole world" she cries out.

"Calm down Yaya" I hear Rima calmly reassure her. But I could feel her icy stares bore through my back. I couldn't take it anymore. I turned my heel and faced them as the single tear fell out my eye. I was already at the gate, but it didn't matter. I had to say it.

"Everyone…" I say as the tears keep falling. Everyone's eyes go wide at this. "Wait for me!" I finish and I go through the gate with no regrets.

Rima POV

It was all for us? What did she mean by that? I'll find out later and soon enough but we've got Yaya to calm down at the moment.

"I wonder what she meant by 'it's all for us', I don't get it" Utau questions like she was reading my mind or something.

"All I wanna know is if she'll come ba-" Kukai starts.

"She will" I hear Tadase bluntly interrupt. "Because she said she will"

"And whatever decision she makes…" the twins start smiling sadly.

"Then we gotta accept" Ikuto finishes grinning slightly.

"Because we're her friends" Utau says smirking.

"And friends accept" we all say together.

AN: First Chapter done! Way to go Choco Waffle! (This is what you should be saying). Obviously I want some reviews. At least 5-10 reviews. The last bit was kind of cheesy but, oh well who cares! Will upload the second Chapter along with this so it doesn't seem like I've written little, ya know? Bye! ;)
