Amu-15

:Moon Dexterity:

"You must be Fujimori Misaki-san. It's nice to meet you."

When he stares at me with those warm ruby eyes, I wonder.

"Yeah, she just transferred here," Yua said.

When his lips curl up into that perfect smile, I wonder.

He looks at Amu, and holds out his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Fujimori-san. I look forward to getting to know you."

When his expression is untarnished and sparkling, I wonder.

She hesitantly held out her hand, her heart was beating a mile a minute. She could feel that her fingers were on the verge of shaking, she compressed it as much as she could. She grabs his hand firmly, a very cold expression on her face.

She gritted her teeth inside her mouth. Her expression was real. Not one of the fake faces she used around others. Her sapphire eyes looked as if she could give the boy frostbite.

The other girls could see that it was similar to the blue haired boy beside her.

Amu took a breath before finally speaking. "Nice to meet you too. Hotori... right?" Her voice was strained, but no one noticed except for Ikuto. He raised an eyebrow.

I always wonder. Every day.

Tadase smiled at her. "You can call me Tadase, if you want."

She didn't want him to look at her like that. She didn't want him to give her those warm eyes of his. She didn't want to see his soft expression, after witnessing his cold one.

I wonder...

Her eyes turned into slits. "No thank you, Hotori." She didn't mean to say his name with such venom, but she couldn't help it.

Tadase didn't notice. At least, he didn't show that he did.

...Did you ever really love me?

:Moon Dexterity:

The hours passed by, and as the day progressed, Amu started to compose herself more around Tadase.

She sighed as she buried her head inside her history book. Should she not go to school anymore? It seemed as though that since Tadase is here, she didn't want to be around anymore.

She shook her head. She wasn't one to quit so easily; in fact, she loved a challenge. She looked over at the Prince who was staring at the blackboard, paying attention to the teacher and his lecture.

He noticed that Amu was looking his way. He looked at her, and waved with a smile on his face. She quickly looked away, not wanting to make eye contact.

She groaned silently, as she let her head fall on her book. She made sure nobody noticed, but she could tell that someone had eyes on her, and she knew who that was.

Ikuto looked at Amu with amusement clear in his eyes, but he couldn't help but wonder why she was acting the way she was.

She told Kukai about Tadase, and he wasn't remotely surprised. He actually expected him to be there, and was surprised that he wasn't there when they first arrived.

It was one of the reasons why he came with Amu to this school. He wanted to make sure that she was alright for these things.

"Alright class, the lesson is over. Since we finished early, you may chat amongst yourselves."

Saaya stayed in her seat, expecting to see her friends come over to her like they always did. But after waiting for a few seconds, she saw that they were heading towards Amu'sdesk. She growled as she slowly stomped over there.

"So, Misaki-san. What do you think of the Prince?" Nanami asked.

"Isn't he dreamy?" Rikka added. Amu expected them to ask, but she still flinched.

"I don't know what you see in him," she said coldly. But she understood completely. They were drawn to the warmness of his eyes. The kindness of his smile. The way he looked directly into your eyes as he talked to you...

"Eh? How?" Rikka whined. Amu narrowed her eyes. She couldn't really think of anything bad to say about him without explaining her whole history; which would lead to exposing her identity, which wasn't an option.

So she ended up blurting out the first thing that came to mind. "He looks too girly."

Rikka's expression dropped as Nanami began to giggle. "Which is exactly why Tsukiyomi-san is the one I will always choose."

Saaya snorted unattractively as she put her hand on Amu's desk, putting all of her weight on it. "Like I said," she started. "You girls are cute, but you are not good enough for either Prince; the 'Luminous Prince', nor the 'Lurid Prince'," she stated referring to Ikuto.

"You have to have the style, the grace, and the features." She haughtily finished before flipping her hair.

Wakana looked down sadly. "It will only be an unrequited love then. I have none of those elements." Nanami looked worriedly at her best friend, as she laid a hand on her shoulder. She glared at Saaya, who wasn't affected.

"You really know how to put people down, don't you?"

"I'm just stating facts. None of you -including her- ," She pointed towards Amu, who flinched slightly at the gesture. "Are good enough for either Prince."

Amu laid her elbow upon her desk, as she placed her chin on her palm. She sighed before narrowing her eyes to the ground. "I'm not interested in either. So you have nothing to worry about."

"Even if you were interested, I wouldn't have anything to worry about, Fujimori-san," Saaya stated in a sickly sweet tone. She glared at Amu with pure fire in her emerald eyes, wondering why she was so affected by the blue-haired girl.

"Misa-chan." All the girls turned to Tsukiyomi Ikuto, who had a slight smirk on his face as he looked at Amu.

The girls that were standing around Amu's desk stepped away, giving the 'Lurid Prince' room to talk to the cobalt haired girl that sat before him.

She made a 'tch' sound as she looked up at him. "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?"

"But it's so much fun to use," he mused.

"I don't care," she replied. "Now, what do you want?"

Ikuto smirked as he wrapped his slender fingers around her wrist, pulling her out of her seat. "Wha..." She couldn't finish her words as her body was jerked out of the classroom.

Saaya stared at their direction as her face practically boiled with anger. Why was Misaki getting his attention? What does she have that Saaya doesn't?

"I need to find a way to put that girl in her place." She growled quietly, only audible for her own ears. She held her head up high as she returned to her seat.

:Moon Dexterity:

"Why did you drag me here?" Amu asked as she glared at the tall teen in front of her. He looked at her with amusement as he neared her.

"I was just wondering something." Amu looked into those sapphire eyes that were looking through her yet again.

"What?" She was so close to stuttering, but she caught herself before she did. She kept her glare present, hiding how he made her feel. His lips were up in that same mischievous grin that he wore almost every time.

"You were acting different in class today." Those words alone made Amu realize what he was getting at. Her eyes went to the ground, finding the concrete suddenly very interesting.

"I was just feeling under the weather," she stated. "No need to ask about it or anything."

Ikuto's expression changed into a somber one as he stared at her intently. Her eyebrows twitched slightly; her sapphire orbs looking into his.

As he looked at her closely, he could see a small lining inside her eyes. It looked as if she was wearing... contacts?

He shrugged inwardly. She probably has bad eyesight.

Amu felt as if he was staring at her for an eternity, yet it had only been a few seconds. Once she couldn't take his stare anymore, she stepped back. His eyes were sometimes too much for her.

Her eyes once again found the ground. "Well, thanks for worrying and stuff," she said. "Even if it is none of your business..."

Ikuto shook his head. "I'm just looking for some entertainment," he replied as he walked towards the door. "I find you interesting. I feel... that I need to figure you out." With that said, he advanced to the inside of the school to return to class. School was ending in just a few minutes, and they would both get in trouble if they weren't there for the dismissal.

After Amu realized this, she followed Ikuto to the classroom, making it there seconds before the bell rang.

:Moon Dexterity:

"This school is so exhausting," Kukai commented as he and Amu walked out of the perimeter.

When they were out of sight, they hopped into Nagihiko's car and drove off to the condo. Amu sighed as she pulled off her cobalt wig.

"This thing itches."

Nagihiko chuckled. "It's not supposed to be soothing," he replied. Amu glared at him, before ruffling her pink hair, and preparing herself to take out her sapphire contacts.

"Only three more months. Then it's off to America," Kukai suddenly said as he took out one of his amethyst contacts. He sounded disappointed.

Amu shot her glare at Kukai. "Stop saying that. I don't need a daily reminder."

Kukai chuckled as he took off his light auburn wig. "Just sayin'."

When they finally made it to the condo, they were greeted by Nadeshiko who waved at them with a smile adorned on her face. "Welcome home."

Amu scoffed. "Today was so exhausting. It's a good thing that we only need one practice."

"Actually..." Nagihiko's wavering voice made Amu's head snap over to him. She glared at him with all she had, before growling: "What?"

Nagihiko put his hands up in defense. "You and I need a quick sound check before the producers print out the final copy of our new single."

Amu groaned. All she wanted to do was lie in her bed, and forget about the world that was slowly but surely crashing down on her. She was sure that Saaya didn't particularly like her, and she didn't know why. Had she done something wrong? Did she say something offensive?

She shrugged. She didn't care for her either way.

She flinched when Kukai's hand made contact with her head. She looked up at him to see a smile on his carefree face. "It won't take long, Hinamori. Probably a half hour, max."

His voice somehow always made everything sound better than it really was. Her lips turned up into an almost unnoticeable smile that only Kukai could see.

"Whatever."

The twins looked over at Kukai with bright smiles on their faces. They could always count on Souma Kukai to turn Amu's troubles around.

As Amu walked back to Naghiko's car, and waited for him to drive her to the studio. When he climbed into the driver's seat, he put it in drive and off they went.

Amu watched as the buildings flew by, her golden eyes acting as a mirror. She closed her eyes for one second, and the next thing she saw was Easter records. She groaned. She really didn't want to be here. When they both walked in, Tsukasa, the director, greeted them.

"Thanks for coming in such short notice. I really appreciate it." Amu knew that he was referring to her, knowing that she doesn't like being called out so suddenly. She waved it off as she walked straight into the recording booth.

"Let's just get started," she stated as she wrapped an electric guitar onto her torso. Nagihiko chuckled as he did the same.

Tsukasa took that as a sign to start the track. When they heard the familiar guitar start, Nagihiko and Amu put their lips to the microphone.

"Give me attention.
I need it now.
Too much distance,
to measure it out
out loud."

They must have sung the same verse over twenty times, before Amu's throat was completely worn out for the day.

"Cut! That was perfect. We're all done." Tsukasa's voice cut into the microphone. Amu sighed contently as she wiped the sweat that was trickling down her forehead. She looked at Nagihiko and smiled slightly, glad that she was finally finished with the verse she sang over and over again.

Nagihiko smiled back at her, as they walked out of the recording booth. Amu sighed once again. "I'm so glad that this is over. Now we can finally wait until the end of the week to actually perform it in front of everyone." She draped the towel that was given to her around her neck as she walked out of the studio. Nagihiko was close behind.

"So, how's school? I haven't seen much of you since you started going."

Amu looked down to the floor, obviously deep in thought. "Well, it's okay. It's more stressful than I thought it would be." She didn't want to talk about Tadase just yet.

That look of pure hatred as he looked at her.

"As long as you have fun, and be the normal girl you always wanted to be," Nagihiko chimed.

The words he spat at her with pure venom.

Amu's expression didn't falter, even when she was thinking these deathly thoughts. She chuckled as she climbed into Nagihiko's car, and let him drive her home. "Yeah, I have to admit that it is a lot of fun."

They rode back to the condo in a comfortable silence as the afternoon sky slowly turned purple, indicating that it was almost time for dinner.

"You really believed that I actually wanted to go out with you? How pathetic."

:Moon Dexterity:

The next day it was Amu's and Kukai's classes' turn to clean the outside of the school. They were glad that they didn't have to do any actual work, so they didn't complain.

"Hinata!" Kukai turned to see Utau walking over to him with a smile on her pretty face.

"Yo, Utau," Kukai replied cheekily. Just seeing this girl made his lips turn up into that smile of his. When Utau made it over to Kukai, she gave him a hug as a greeting; he gladly took it.

They swept the sidewalk together as they talked and joked with each other. The mood was obvious, which made no one want to interrupt them.

"So, Moon Dexterity is having a concert this Friday..." Utau started. Kukai snapped his head towards her. She couldn't possible thinking of asking him. Utau looked to the ground, a slight blush on her face.

"And I have one extra ticket. Nanami, Saaya, and the others are coming as well," she said. "And I know that Souma Kukai is your favorite. So, I was wondering if you wanted to come too? They're also backstage passes..." She looked up at him. Kukai scratched the back of his head, mustering the best disappointed face he could.

"I'm sorry, Utau." Her face faltered. "But I can't. I have some things that I need to do that day."

She knew that it wasn't his fault but she couldn't help but to be upset. She narrowed her eyes. "Oh… well it's fine. No worries. Maybe next time..."

Kukai knew that she was upset, and he would go with her in a heartbeat if he wasn't in these circumstances.

Being a rock star really sucked sometimes.

"Fujimori-san." Amu turned her head to see Tadase walking over to her. Her sapphire eyes widened slightly, but she quickly restored herself. "What is it, Hotori?"

It's so damn hard to be polite to this guy...

"I was just wondering if you needed any help." He offered, as he showed her the broom that was in his hand.

She looked at his dazzling smile that always took her breath away. Not anymore; that smile was empty, a sick joke. Her head turned slightly as she closed her eyes, her eyebrows were slanted downwards.

"It's fine. I can manage on my own," she gruffly answered. With that said, she walked away, leaving him by himself.

"Fujimori-san!"

It was as if it was slow motion as her head turned back with her eyes wide. The expression on his face looked so familiar...

"Hinamori-san!"

"Let me help you. I feel that we left off on the wrong foot, and I want to start over. So can I?" His voice was so sweet and sincere, that her eyes started to sting with the familiar feeling of tears. She pushed it back; she didn't want to do this now.

"...If you're so passionate about it. I don't care," she answered bitterly.

Saaya watched the 'Luminous Prince' and that Fujimori Misaki sweep the ground together. Her teeth gritted together.

"So she's going for both Princes, huh? We'll see about that." She walked over to Tsukiyomi Ikuto who was lounging on a bench not too far away. He was obviously slacking on the chores that needed to be done.

"Tsukiyomi-sama." The 'Lurid Prince' looked up to see Yamabuki Saaya. He hummed in response as she smiled at him. A sickly sweet smile that by just looking at, could give him diabetes.

"Yo," he replied smoothly, making Saaya just want to pounce on the poor boy. She batted her eyelashes at him, before casually sitting beside him.

"I wouldn't trust that Fujimori Misaki," she said. "She doesn't seem to be trustworthy."

Ikuto looked over at 'Misaki' and shrugged. He saw how she was narrowing her eyes at Hotori Tadase, his close friend.

"I don't see it," he bluntly stated. He crossed his right leg over his left. Saaya sighed.

"She's putting up an act." Saaya crossed her arms. "She's clearly hiding something."

Ikuto hummed in response. "I wouldn't say that. Maybe she just doesn't want people to know her personal life."

"Which means that she must be hiding a deep secret," Saaya interjected. "I don't think she's the person she claims to be..."

He shrugged. "She's quite a mystery..." His voice was dazed, as if he was in some sort of trance. Saaya noticed; her eyebrow twitched. She abruptly stood, making Ikuto flinch.

"She's lying to you, Tsukiyomi-sama!" She didn't mean to break her little charade, but she was starting to get irritated. Ikuto raised an eyebrow as he also stood up. He shoved his hands in his pockets, and took a few steps. His eyes were closed, a small smile on his face.

"She may be introverted. But I'm pretty sure that she's not a liar."

And he walked off. Saaya stomped her foot as she let out a groan of frustration.

I'm going to figure this girl out, once and for all.

:Moon Dexterity:

.Thursday.

"Tadase."

Tadase turned to see his good friend Ikuto and smiled at the teen. "Hey, Ikuto. What do you need?"

"Utau wanted me to ask you to go to this concert on Friday, since Hinata couldn't go."

Tadase's smile didn't falter. "I haven't been to a concert in a while. Who's playing?"

Ikuto held up the tickets. "'Moon Dexterity'. You like them, right?"

Tadase's expression fell, but only slightly. Not enough for Ikuto to notice. "U-um, I don't know."

"Oh, come on. She even got backstage passes. We could meet everyone backstage."

That just made him feel worse. He couldn't possible face Hinamori Amu since what happened. She even wrote a song about him, and he saw her perform it not too long ago on T.V. He sighed. Did she really have to go that far?

Sure, he had broken her heart, but he had a good reason. He was going through something that required being completely alone, so he wouldn't have to drag her down with him.

If they were together when he was going through those things, she would be in even more trouble than she already was. What with the debt and all...

Her golden eyes that were filled with unshed sadness.

"I don't know. When is it?" Tadase grabbed the ticket from his hand. Ikuto took a step forward. "Tomorrow night. Rikka really wants you to come," he answered.

Tadase could feel his fingers shake slightly around the thin piece of laminated paper.

The tears that fell down her cheeks.

He suddenly looked at Ikuto. Ikuto noticed the determination in his eyes.

"I'll go."

:Moon Dexterity:

.The Next Night.

Amu sighed as she finished the sound check with the band. The show was starting in about a half hour.

She grabbed a water bottle from the cooler and took a swig of it. She looked over at Kukai, who was chatting with the twins and lounging before the performance.

"Hinamori-san!"

Amu responded by nodding. She turned to her band. "You guys ready?"

Kukai pumped his fist. "You know it!" Nagihiko and Nadeshiko nodded with smiles on their faces.

They locked arms together as they walked out to greet their fans. Amu couldn't help but snarl when she caught a glimpse of Saaya. She knew that she would be here.

They got their instruments ready, and smiled at the audience. They all looked extremely excited to hear their new single live.

Play Where the Lines Overlap by Paramore.

Amu bobbed her head to the sound of Nagihiko's guitar as she looked at him. He smiled back at her before they both leaned into their microphone. Kukai started on his drums.

Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out
Out loud

Amu and Nagihiko sang the verse that they were forced to sing repeatedly at the beginning of the week. As their voices were heard, the audiences' volume seemed to increase.

"Moon Dexterity!" The crowd cheered for their band. Nadeshiko and Kukai smiled as they joined in, making everyone cheer even more.

Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap

As all of their voices engulfed the stadium, they started to enjoy the song a bit. They were worried that they didn't because of all the practicing they had to do. Amu saw Utau, and smiled at her. Utau smiled as she waved back, excited that she noticed her.

The music went for a quick pause while Amu breathed, "Where the lines overlap."

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Amu started playing on her own electric guitar, and walked closer to Nagihiko, who mirrored her actions. The audience was pumping their fists, some were even singing along with the song. Amu felt joy, something she hasn't felt in a while. She caught a glimpse of Ikuto, who was smirking at her. She rolled her eyes and kept going; revving her guitar as she smiled at her fans.

She would never get tired of this.

Saaya looked at Amu with pure adornment in her eyes. Hinamori Amu was her favorite singer, and she thought that she was perfect in every way.

Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
Never making a single sound

She couldn't believe that she is actually going to meet her after the show. She looked over at Tadase, the 'Luminous Prince'. He was staring up at the stage with a dazed expression on his face. You could practically see Hinamori Amu's reflection in his eyes. His lips were trembling, acting as if he was under some spell. It was almost obvious.

I'm not used to it but I can learn
Nothing to it
I've never been happier
I've never been happier

As the band joined in, Tadase examined them. Souma Kukai, the drummer. He was close friends with him until the event that occurred two years before. His eyes shifted over to the twins. He had just met them before everything started. They were performing in cafes, and underground barriers. He grimaced, they all looked so happy. Like they've forgotten all about him.

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

As he listened to the lyrics of the song, Tadase realized that Amu was happy. She was happy with her life, and if he suddenly showed up again, her world would fall apart. Maybe he shouldn't have come. Maybe this was a bad idea. As he looked up at her, she had a smile on her face. The same smile that she had when she was with him. He sighed, as he looked at her face. Even though she was smiling, there was something in her eyes that was masking her true feelings. Something that needed to be released.

Now I've got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling
You would sing it back to me

Amu grabbed the microphone and pointed at the crowd, tapping her foot on the hard floor. It was only Kukai and Nadeshiko playing their instruments, as they watched the crowd jump up and down.

Kukai pounded on his drums with all his might, as Nadeshiko revved her bass. Amu's eyebrows went downwards as she readied herself with her guitar. Nagihiko started before her, and finally she joined in.

The band all sang together, feeling the music as it went along. The crowd was singing along, making the band mates surprised that they already knew the lyrics.

The music went mute once again, leaving only Nadeshiko and Amu's' voice. "You would sing it back to me"

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Nadeshiko stepped back, going to her bass position. Amu sang the last chorus with all her heart, meaning the things she sang.

Ikuto was sitting back in his seat with his arms crossed. His eyes were closed as he listened to her words. She might be cold and introverted, but when she sings and plays the guitar, she's a completely different person.

He looked at Tadase and raised an eyebrow at his expression. It was like he was under some sort of trance. Did he really like Moon Dexterity that much? He shook Tadase's shoulder, making him snap his head towards Ikuto.

"Are you okay?" He mouthed. Tadase only nodded and continued watching Amu.

Amu and Nagihiko were back to back, revving their guitars. The crowd cheered as the song ended; Kukai twirled his drumsticks around his fingers, and banged on them again and again, getting into it like he always did.

Amu shifted her eyes throughout the crowd, and noticed someone with blonde hair... and ruby eyes.

It was Tadase. He was staring right at her. Why was he here? Didn't he hate her?

Amu turned to Kukai discreetly, and nodded her head towards the blonde boy. Kukai looked over and noticed. He gave her an expression telling her not to worry, that everything would be all right.

Amu sighed as she played, but kept her smile on. She didn't want her fans to know that something's wrong.

It wasn't like she was ever going to see him again, as she is. Tadase hates Hinamori Amu. He always did. That was something that would never change.

But why was he here? Did he come to make fun of her? No. Tadase wasn't that kind of person. He would never mock someone, no matter how much he hated the person. But still... Out of all places, why did he have to be here?

The song ended with Kukai finishing up on his drums, and Nadeshiko playing her base. Nagihiko ended the song with a few notes from his guitar and Amu swung her microphone back and forth like she did in the music video. Everyone noticed and cheered.

:Moon Dexterity:

"Amu!" Utau exclaimed as she hugged her new friend. Amu smiled as she wrapped her arms around her friend's slim body. "I'm glad that you came."

"I wouldn't miss it. I also brought some friends," she said, gesturing to the group of people that was behind her. Amu knew every one of them. Nanami walked up with a blush on her face. In fact, they all had blushes.

"Hinamori Amu!" Yaya exclaimed as she ran up to her. She had stars in her eyes as she stared at Amu admirably. Amu smiled at her. "I've heard about you. Yaya, right?"

Amu needed to be as discreet as possibly so she wouldn't be exposed.

"Misaki-chan would have loved to be here." Amu froze.

Wakana sighed: "For sure. What did she say she had to do?"

"She said that both her and Fujimori-kun had some family matters to attend to," Rima answered. Kukai stiffened, making the twins chuckle.

"Oh well, maybe next time," Saaya said. Everyone could see that she was perfectly okay with Misaki's absence. Amu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What's wrong with this chick?

But as the girls chatted away, Amu looked at all the people in the room.

Tadase looked back at her, his eyebrows slanted downwards. They stared at each other for what seemed like hours. When everyone noticed the silence between the two, they grew silent as well.

"Hinamori. What's wrong?" Kukai asked, even though he knew completely well.

"Tadase, what's going on with you?" Utau asked him.

Amu grimaced. She couldn't hold it in anymore. Ever since she saw him she wanted to rant at him. "What are you doing here?"

Everyone in the room except Tadase and Ikuto flinched at the sound of her cold voice. Utau looked at Amu worriedly. "Amu, what's wrong?"

Amu gritted her teeth, as she glared at the blonde boy before her. Tadase narrowed his eyes to the floor, his expression was guilty and unpleasant.

"Answer me..."

Tadase looked up at her. Her golden eyes looked fierce and cold. Something he has never seen before from her.

"I can explain."

Amu scowled as she stormed out of the room and walked outside. But not without taking her trusty black hoodie, covering her pink hair.

As she ran to the park, she could feel that someone was following her. She knew that she was being pursued.

When she stopped, she balled up her fists.

"Why did you follow me? Why did you have to come?" She could feel her nails dig into her palm. Tadase took a step forward.

"I wanted to check up on you. I wanted to see how you are. And you're clearly doing good." She turned to him, seeing a smile on his perfect face. She kept her glare intact.

"I see you on T.V all the time. There's not a day that goes by where someone isn't talking about Moon Dexterity."

Amu's eyes found the ground. "If that's all you have to say, then leave." The words that escaped her mouth tasted like venom.

"But Amu-chan..."

Her eyes turned into slits. "You have no right to call me that anymore."

"Just hear me out. Please?"

Amu didn't say anything, which told Tadase to speak. "I didn't mean to do what I did. I didn't mean to make you suffer. Hell, you even wrote a song about me and your pain."

She stayed silent. Her pink hair fell over her eyes, leaving her expression unreadable.

"I just wanted to apologize."

"Leave."

Tadase was taken aback by that one word. "What?"

"You wait this long, and now you apologize?" She could feel blood trickle down her wrists from the sharpness of her nails. "You have no idea how much I relied on you. You were the only thing that made me happy. You were there for me when no one else was. You helped me with all the bullshit that I went through."

It was Tadase's turn to be silent.

"Then you just dump me, with no explanation." She felt the familiar burning in her eyes. She shut her eyes forcefully, pushing away the burning sensation. "Just leave. I don't want to see your face."

"But Amu-"

"Leave!" she seethed. Tadase flinched, feeling the venom resonate throughout his body. He sighed as he looked down.

"Goodbye, Amu." And he walked off.

As he walked in the direction of his house, he spotted Ikuto. They made eye contact for a few seconds before Tadase closed his eyes and ran off. Ikuto sighed.

He was always around at the right time. He turned to Amu who fell to her knees.

She was obviously overwhelmed by what just happened.

How could Tadase just show up? How could he even show his face to her after what he did? She used her fist to hit the ground, she heard footsteps approach her. She expected it to be Kukai, to be there and protect her like he always did, but it wasn't.

It was Ikuto.

He kneeled down, and laid a hand on her back. He expected her to be crying, but she wasn't. Amu would've told Ikuto to leave too if she had the energy. She thought about Tadase's' face that smiled at her those two years ago, before breaking her heart.

"I love you, Amu-chan."

Yuki- I hope you guys liked that. I worked hard on it!

Now I was looking at my stats, and each chapter gets about more than 100 hits. But I only get about seven or eight reviews...

...

Come on, guys. I noticed that my reviews were dropping each chapter. I don't mind any kind of review. Even if it's anonymous. I really don't care. A simple "Update soon!" would be acceptable. The less reviews I get, the less inspired I get. I write because I love it. But I would also love to hear what others want to say about my writing. c:
