Well, sorry for the really late chapter. I had computer issues. I'll try to get at least one chapter a week out from now, since it should be fixed now. :D
Neji0392 (and if anyone else may have said similar things) - Actually, I've noticed, too, that there are several stories like that. So instead of turning this into that kind of story, I want to do something around halfway through to change that part. (I wouldn't want to spoil anything other than that though.~) But I certainly would have to agree with you.
Anyways, I don't own Shugo Chara~

It wasn't like that- no not at all. I couldn't have done it.. Those horrible things? It didn't sound like me… but rather, someone completely different.
---
Ikuto was still here, comforting me. I hadn't realized it, but it had already been a few hours since I had woken up, leading us into the new day.
"Ikuto…" I slowly said, slightly yawning.
"Hmm?" He replied, just seconds later.
"You should sleep…" I said to him, knowing that he had been up for probably eight hours or so just watching over me.
"I won't sleep… Until you are better." Ikuto then said, seemingly stubborn. I did not reply. He sounded tired- and would fall asleep soon. I knew that.
---
It was morning, I had not noticed that I had fallen asleep, not until I had woken up myself. Ikuto was still asleep.
I smiled gently, trying to hide my curiosity. It had been awhile since I had seen him sleeping; He was so wonderful.
I got up, and decided it would be best to make some kind of breakfast for us to eat. I felt slightly light headed, and grabbed a hold of the countertop beside me. I felt as if, my body had been taken over by a completely different person.
---
"What? Ohnonono! I didn't mean that…" I heard; the Vision was a little blurry. I couldn't exactly make out the person. It was a girl, that was obvious. I looked deeper, noticing that It was me, talking. Ikuto was leaning over me. That smirk of his, was there of course.
"Aw. Are you sure…?" Ikuto quietly said, noticeably trying to sound sad. He leaned a bit closer, Causing me to blush.
This confused me- the me right now, because, I did not recognize this event, yet… it looked so recent. I looked the same, sounded the same. So did Ikuto.
"Y-Yes!" I shouted, closing my eyes. At this point, my face was all red.
"…Oh well." Ikuto said, then gently grabbed my chin in place, he lightly pecked at my lips, as I for some reason hesitated to push him away. He finished a minute or so later, his smirk wider than before; Looking as if he could burst out laughing at any second- And he did.--
---
I regained myself again; Wondering something. I gasped as I noticed a possibility in what could be happening, and almost wished to die, as I was not lying on the floor, crying.
I hoped that I would not wake Ikuto up. I couldn't silence myself, no matter what I had tried. The tears kept coming, and the feeling got worse.
"I-It… can't be true…" I whispered to myself, attempting to calm myself down. I did not know what was happening- But it was gone - I was gone.
---
Seemed… like the end. I couldn't understand, at all. My mind buzzed with confusion, yet… I knew something, yet I still did not. Ikuto walked into the room. I noticed, that he was still tired.
"You… should go bac-"
"What's wrong? I heard you crying…." He trailed off, staring at me. His eyes, filled with terror- Myself… was destroyed, with that single look.
"A-Amu…? You…You're not Amu… Who are you?" He said, cautiously kneeling down.
"..What?" I said, and simply looked up at him. "I am… Amu…?"
I am Amu.
Or… at least, I was.
I moved myself so I was facing Ikuto directly, and stared into his deep blue eyes. I saw confusion, but I also saw, understanding. Why? Did he think I was still Amu, even If I wasn't right now? Maybe… that's the truth.
I moved my hand, to pull my hair in front of me, to see it- to make sure…
But It remained untouched. Healthy, Pale pink hair.
"Are you?" Ikuto asked, looking back at me. I wasn't sure! What to say? Lying wasn't good- but is it lying, if you truly do not know?
"I don't know…" I slowly replied. Ikuto's hand was placed on my shoulder.
"What do you remember?" Ikuto asked, as if he thought that he could figure this all out with a single question.
I closed my eyes, trying to remember… the last part of my life.
"I remember… running… from someone. My house, in the hallways… by my father? … I was cornered onto the bed…" I stopped. Nothing came to me after that.
"…Your father…?" Ikuto fell into a 'mode of think', and seemed unsure. "I don't think… you are Amu." He said, several minutes later. "However… you look like her, sound like her… but you don't act like her. I think that… you are a completely different person."
---
It was dark… cold… silent. I couldn't move, there was a sharp pain in my chest… I wasn't 'breathing', Yet was still Alive?
It didn't make any sense. The silence was broken, by a memory. A childhood? …Something… I did not remember.
---
The little girl span around, in circles… over, and over again. Eventually, she fell over into the sand, laughing. She closed her eyes, hiding them away from the setting sun.
Was this me?
She smiled… Her short pink hair was covered in sand, and was filled with it. It was awhile, but she got up. Slowly, she walked over to the swings, and just sat there. Maybe she was 6? Nobody was with her, completely alone. She just sat there, motionless, looking up into the darkening sky- until the last ray of sun was eaten away by the mountains. She then, went home.
---
'Was this me?' I thought, trying to get up again. I barely made it, but I was up- seeing almost nothing but darkness, except a faint white light coming from my right. I stared at it for a moment. I shortly began shuffling myself over to it, it became brighter… and brighter…

See you next chapter!~ I'll do my best to have the next out in a couple days.
