Harro. I'm back with yet another chapter. Sorry for not updating, school got in the way, and I kinda actually have a life now, so...

Oh, and I got a new boyfriend. We've been dating for a little over a month, and I guess you could say he's better than the other one.

Also, if you want to add me on Facebook, don't be shy. And I mean my real Facebook. Not my like page.

Facebook . com / dreamoftheimpossible

Just get rid of those pesky spaces.

Furthermore, I would love to thank my beautiful beta Mrs. Flamer for editing my story.

Go look at her stuff, it's really great. After this of course.

Enjoy!

I don't own Shugo Chara! in any way.

I also don't own any songs used in these chapters.

The only thing I own is the story and the name of the band.

Ikuto-16 - Kukai-16

Utau-15 - Yaya-14

Rima-15 - Nagihiko-16

Tadase-15 - Kairi-15

Nadeshiko-16 - Rikka-14

Amu-15

:Moon Dexterity:

"Thanks for coming shopping with me, Hinamori-san."

"Oh, no problem, Tadase-kun! I had nothing to do, anyway..."

Amu blushed as Tadase grabbed her hand. His touch felt so warm and welcoming. "Come on, let's go this way. I saw something that'd be perfect."

When Amu noticed that he was going to a jewelry store, she widened her eyes. "Why are we here?"

Tadase smiled at her as he stopped. "Do you mind waiting here until I take care of something?"

Amu looked at him with a confused expression on her face as she nodded slowly. "Uh, no not at all."

She watched him go to the other half of the room that was separated by a curtain. She twiddled her thumbs nervously and jumped at the feel of vibrations in her school skirt pocket. She took out her cell phone, seeing that it was a text from Kukai.

From: Souma Kukai
To: Hinamori Amu
Subject: How's your date with Tadase?

She blushed furiously as she read the words off of her phone.

From: Hinamori Amu
To: Souma Kukai
Subject: Shut up! It's not a date! We're just going shopping!

She closed her phone as she saw Tadase emerge from the curtains. He smiled as he saw Amu's slightly flushed face. She was so cute.

"Did you get what you came here for?" Amu asked.

Tadase nodded. "Come on, let's eat. I'm sure you're hungry."

The sudden noise coming from Amu's stomach proved Tadase's statement. She blushed once again, and put her arms over her tummy. Tadase chuckled as he grabbed her hand once again.

"What would you like?"

"I-It's okay, you don't have to get me anything." Her stomach growled again; she glared at it.

Tadase shook his head. "It's perfectly fine. Come on, let's get some taiyaki."

As they walked to the taiyaki stand, Amu noticed how tightly Tadase gripped her hand and felt her face growing hot. Why did she always have to blush?

When they made it to the stand, Tadase ordered their food. They ate in a comfortable silence as Amu snuck peeks at Tadase. Even when he was eating, he ate his food gracefully. Amu sighed; he was so beautiful.

They both finished their food and talked for what seemed like hours. Amu gasped slightly as she remembered: "We forgot about the shopping!"

Tadase noticed, and chuckled. "Oh yeah, I completely forgot. Well, it's a little late now. So I might as well wait until tomorrow."

Amu looked down, a little disappointed. "I'm sorry for wasting your time."

"My time is never wasted with you."

Amu widened her eyes slightly as she flinched. Tadase smiled as he stood up. He walked to her chair and stopped behind her.

"Hinamori-san, there's something I have to tell you."

Amu didn't bother looking back at him. She didn't want him seeing her red face.

The next thing she knew, she felt a cold chain around her neck. She gasped. It was a necklace!

"I saw this, and thought of you," he said quietly. "I wasn't sure if you would like it or not, but I decided to take a chance..." He sounded childish, which Amu found cute.

The necklace was a silver X that was diamond encrusted. The chain was black, and shiny. It was exactly Amu's style.

"I love it, Tadase-kun!" she exclaimed, standing up. She faced him and smiled brightly. "Thank you!"

The smile on her face was so adorable that Tadase found himself blushing. He looked down, and cleared his throat.

"I wanted to tell you this sooner, but I always seem to never get to it. I held it off for so long, that Kairi told you before I even got a chance."

"Kairi?" Amu looked at him confused. Tadase's step-brother?

"But I still want to tell you this," he stated firmly, he looked up at her with determination in his eyes. Amu flinched under his look.

"Hinamori-san... I like you, a lot. And I wanted to ask you... Uh..." He was fumbling with his words, but Amu knew what he was going to say. She also blushed again.

"Will you... go out with me? As in... be my girlfriend?" The redness on his face made his eyes pop, which made him look even more adorable than he already was.

Amu looked at him with her pupils quivering. Seeing him look so vulnerable caught her off guard. He was always so stern and honest with his feelings. He was also the most popular guy in their middle school.

Amu found herself smiling at him. "Of course, Tadase-kun. I would love to..." Her voice was quiet and sweet.

He looked up at her and smiled at her, feeling the weight on his shoulders vanish. He smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek.

The gesture caught her by surprise, so it made her flinch. Her cheeks grew redder.

"Thank you," he said. "This makes me so happy, Amu-chan."

Amu noticed the new name given to her by him, and looked at him. His smile was so sincere and happy that she felt it come from him to her. She smiled as well as he took her hand.

"It makes me happy, too."

:Moon Dexterity:

Amu chuckled darkly as she looked at the item in her hand. She was leaned over her balcony, trying to clear her head.

When she was cleaning her room earlier, she found a certain piece of jewelry that made her want to take it, and throw it in the fiery pits of hell. But she couldn't bring herself to. It was too... precious.

Am I truly over him?

She looked over at her cell phone that was ringing, indicating that someone was calling her. She looked at the caller ID, and widened her eyes only a little bit. She grabbed her phone, and answered.

She had his number, but she was sure that he didn't have hers.

"So how'd you manage to get my number? You stalking me or something?"

"I'm hurt that you would even think that," Ikuto replied with a chuckle. Amu smiled.

"So, what do you want, Tsukiyomi? Calling to harass me?"

"No chance. I just haven't had the chance to talk to you about the whole thing that happened three weeks ago at that concert."

Amu nearly threw her phone down the balcony. She was hoping that he wasn't going to ask. She had thought that he forgotten, but she was clearly wrong.

"...Why are you asking me this now? Besides, didn't your dear friend Tadase explain to you what happened?" Saying his name tasted like copper and rusted metal.

"He wouldn't tell me. He only told Misaki." She had noticed that he only says 'Misa-chan' whenever he's around her in her disguise. Otherwise, he says the name regularly.

"I don't see why. They've been hanging out more ever since he talked to her that one day."

They weren't necessarily hanging out. More like Tadase dragging her to Student Council meetings, trying to actually get her to join, which was never going to happen.

She couldn't help but notice the tone of his voice. It made her lips curl up in a small mischievous smirk.

"I'm sensing jealousy in your voice," she said, hearing Ikuto mutter incoherent words under his breath.

"I'm not jealous."

"Is it possible that you like Misaki? Because you seem to talk about her a lot." Part of Amu was just teasing him, but another part of her wanted to know desperately.

There was an awkward silence on the phone, and for a second, she thought that he got disconnected.

"Hello?"

"I'm here."

She disregarded her question, and moved on. It was just too awkward.

So they talked about something else. Amu talked about her concert that was coming up soon, and Ikuto talked about school and the people that went there. But as he talked about the people, his words turned into a conversation about Tadase.

"You never answered my question about what happened with Tadase."

She groaned. "Do I really have to? Just ask him. Talking about him makes my stomach hurt."

"Sure it does. Okay, now tell me. What exactly happened between you two?"

Amu sighed. She might as well give him the short version. "Okay. We dated in middle school, he changed, and he broke up with me in a dickish way. Happy?"

"I'm pretty sure 'dickish' isn't a word, and no, I'm not. I need detail. Every story needs detail."

Amu gripped the necklace in her other hand tighter. She hates talking about him. He was the only boyfriend she's ever had, and she had him when she was in a very dark place. She thought that his care and affection would heal her when her mother left her and took her sister.

She threw the necklace across the room from the balcony door. It hit her bathroom door, and then slid to the ground. She grazed her fingers over the chain that was around her neck. She wrapped her slim fingers around the lock and looked up at the sky.

"Amu-chan, someday a certain person will come and save your life. That person will have the matching key to this lock."

Amu groaned. Her father's words didn't help her, and confused her. What exactly did he mean?

"Hey." Ikuto's words snapped her out of her thoughts. She let out an 'hmm?' making Ikuto sigh.

"I hope you know that you can tell me anything. I'm a pretty understanding person, no matter what baggage you have."

Amu was surprised that his usually teasing tone was suddenly serious and sincere. It made her almost want to tell him everything about her life. About Tadase, about her mother and Ami, and about the stupid lock that she wanted to figure out about.

But she couldn't. She can't let anyone in. The only person who knows absolutely everything about her screwed up life is Kukai and he barely mentions it. He never pities her because he knows that's the number one thing she hates.

"I'm fine, Tsukiyomi. No worries, alright?"

He laughed. "You're not a typical girl Amu, I'll give you that."

"Obviously. I'm a rock star that's going to do a movie in America in two months..." Her voice faltered at the end of her sentence. She really didn't want to go. There were things for her here, and she heard that America was large and scary.

"Don't sound so down. I'm sure it'll be fun. But I will miss seeing your angry face all the time. It reminds of-"

"Misaki?" she asked with a chuckle. He was so predictable sometimes. He coughed, trying to clear his throat.

"You guys are oddly similar. At least you two aren't so cold towards me anymore."

It was true. In the past two months, Amu has been warming up to Ikuto quite nicely. He wasn't the player she expected him to be. In fact, he was annoyed by all the girls that swooned over him. Especially Saaya.

But she also felt bad. She was getting closer to him, and he doesn't even know her current biggest secret: that she was Misaki.

Would she ever tell him? Of course not. When Amu goes off to America, Misaki will move away too. It'll be that easy.

"Hinamori, it's time for practice." She heard Kukai come into her room. She walked in from outside and nodded, making sure he saw that she was on the phone. He noticed, and nodded back, leaving the room.

"Looks like I need to let you go."

"Obviously."

He chuckled. "And to answer your question about Misaki..."

She raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"I guess you could say I'm... interested in her. I don't know if I like her or not."

"How could you not know? You either like her or not."

"Shut up, and get to practice."

Amu laughed. "Alright, alright."

"Goodnight, Amu. I'll see you tomorrow morning."

She remembered that his father was making him accompany her for a CD signing and interview. "You know I can easily ask your dad for you not to go. No teenager wants to wake up early on a Saturday morning."

"I don't really mind. It'll give me a chance to hang out with you alone, since your band mates have their own personal interviews."

She smiled. "Okay, I'll see you when you get here. You're picking me up, right?"

"Indeed I will."

"Alright. Bye, Tsukiyomi."

She shut her phone, and grabbed her guitar. She walked down to the studio and saw that Kukai and Nadeshiko were playing the instrumentals to one of their songs on their new album. When she noticed that Nagihiko wasn't there, she raised an eyebrow. "Where's Nagihiko?"

Kukai turned to Amu and smirked. "He's talking on the phone with his new girlfriend."

Amu smiled as she turned around and walked to Nagihiko's room. When she made it to the blue room, she wasn't surprised to see Nagihiko with his phone glued to his cheek.

"Okay, okay. I promise that we'll go to the movies after our concert, okay? Would you like backstage passes so that you can meet me?"

Amu saw Nagihiko's smile get bigger as he nodded understandingly. "You don't want them, I get it. But I really don't mind. I know that you're not one of those materialistic girls."

She cringed when she heard Rima say in a cold voice, "That's right, and don't think otherwise. I like you for you, and nothing else. If you doubt that, I'll kick your ass."

She couldn't help but to laugh at the small girl. She loves to get her point across. Nagihiko nodded, even though she couldn't see him. "Yes, I understand, and I trust you. We've been dating for almost a month, and I can tell that you're not materialistic."

Nagihiko looked over at Amu and smiled. He gestured to his phone, asking if she wanted to say hi. Amu shrugged and took the phone.

"Yo, Rima. It's Amu."

"H-Hey, Hinamori Amu." Suddenly the cold girl was shy, and quiet. She was always like this when she was talking to Amu, and she found it sort of odd. She was acting so out of character, that it made her feel bad.

"Just call me Amu. I think I've told you that before," she replied with a small laugh. Rima made an indescribable noise.

"Oh yeah. Hey, Amu."

"Do you mind if I steal Nagihiko for an hour or two? We have band practice."

"Sure, no problem."

Amu mustered a small, almost unnoticeable smile. "Thank you. I'll let you say goodbye to your boyfriend."

Nagihiko blushed slightly at the word and took the phone. He muttered a 'sorry' and said goodbye to the short blond girl.

When he closed his phone, he walked with Amu to the studio downstairs. "You ready for practice, Amu-chan?"

"Of course."

:Moon Dexterity:

Utau grabbed a small bottle of milk, and drank it quickly. She waited as her hot dog was heating in the microwave, tapping her foot impatiently.

She barely noticed Ikuto walk into the kitchen, and grab milk for himself. He noticed her expression and raised an eyebrow.

"What's up with you?"

She didn't respond, not surprising Ikuto. He sighed as he took a few steps closer to her, and patted her head. She jumped slightly, and glared at her older brother.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Maybe."

She growled. When the microwave beeped, she walked over, got her hotdog out, and started to scarf it down. She paid no attention to how hot the food was. Ikuto couldn't help but to chuckle at his younger sister.

"Don't choke."

She glared at him again. "You're annoying," she said with a mouth full of food.

"That's no way to treat someone who's taking you to an exclusive CD signing tomorrow."

She widened her eyes at the taller figure. "What do you mean?"

"Amu is having a benefit concert and interview tomorrow morning, and she'll be in the same building as Kukai." Utau flinched as his name was spoken; Ikuto noticed. "I'm taking her there, and I was going to ask you if you wanted to join. But since you're being so mean..."

"I'm sorry! Just let me go!" she exclaimed, grabbing his collar and pulling his face closer to hers. He chuckled slightly at her cheeks that were puffed up with the food inside.

"Alright, alright."

Utau smiled at him as she swallowed her food. "Thanks, Ikuto!"

"No problem."

"Ikuto."

He turned to see his father walk into the kitchen with his assistant. Aruto smiled at his children, and patted Ikuto on the head. "I trust that you're going to be picking up Hinamori-san at precisely 8 A.M tomorrow morning?"

"I already set my alarm."

"Good," he turned to Utau, and smiled. "Are you tagging along?"

Utau nodded. "Yup. I'll help as much as I can."

Aruto chuckled as he looked at his two children. They turned out so well, after all that they've been through. He looked at Ikuto. "Ikuto, can you come to my office?"

He shrugged in response, as he followed his dad to the lowly-lit room. It was full of leather, which made Ikuto feel uncomfortable. "What is it?" he asked, sitting on the seat in front of the desk.

"I just wanted to commend you on how proud I am," Aruto said with a serene smile. "Both you and Utau turned out so well, with all that had happen these past few years."

"We just know how to cope," Ikuto replied. Aruto shook his head. "Not only that, you two are strong-willed."

Ikuto laid back in his seat. He didn't particularly like it when Aruto talked about the death of his mother. It was still a touchy subject, seeing as how Ikuto was so close to her.

"Do you still have the key that your mother gave you?"

Ikuto responded by holding his wrist up, showing the key in place. His father smiled at the glistening jewels that shone under the light. "Your mother always had good taste."

"I guess, but I still don't know why I have this, or what it's for."

Aruto shook his head. "You have to find that out on your own, Ikuto. Or there would be no point in having it. Someday, someone will have something that you have been looking for," he said, patting his head. Ikuto sighed as he stood and let his hands slide in his pockets.

He narrowed his eyes. "I guess." He shrugged, letting himself leave the office. He saw his assistant, and nodded towards him.

(It would be best if you played For My Father by Andy McKee at this scene. It just sticks with the atmosphere. So yeah. Play that now, please? I'll let you know when the song stops, and where it's supposed to end.)

When he made it to his room, he sighed. He held up his wrist, staring at the key and all its glory. His eyes turned to slits. "What are you for...?"

:Moon Dexterity:

Amu's eyes were behind her lids as she let her fingers navigate like they always did. She could feel the presence of Kukai and the other band members - including Rima - in her room. She didn't care.

Her lips were tugged up into a small smile, looking as if she was living in a different world.

Her thoughts were spiraling almost out of control. Every time she played this piece, thoughts would run through her head. She would think of her mother that left her, taking her little sister with her.

Ami, the little ball full of life. She remembered when Ami busted through her bedroom door, and bugged her to get up for school. She would tease her every chance she could get about Tadase.

She remembered her mother, who had a smile on her face every morning. She would kiss Amu on the cheek and tell her good luck at school. She could hardly believe that she was the same woman who ran out of her life forever.

She remembered the times she shared with Tadase, and all the little innocent dates they had.

Before suddenly, Amu had to grow up. Her childhood had abruptly come to a stop. She had to start providing for herself and her father. She didn't blame him, though. She never did. She knew that he was traumatized by the events that her mother caused.

"I can't do this anymore, Tsumugu!" screamed her mother. Amu's father felt tears come to his eyes as he held up his hands pleadingly. "Please don't do this! What about me? What about the kids?"

"This isn't enough for me. I can't be stuck here anymore. I need to live, Tsumugu!" she yelled. "I was supposed to be an actress. Someone that's loved by everyone. It's too late for me, but it's not for..." her words trailed off as realization hit her. She walked up the stairs into Ami's bedroom.

"Come on honey. We have to go."

Amu, who was in her sisters room with her, looked at her mother. "Where are you going, Mama?"

Her mother couldn't help but to glare at her pink haired daughter. "It's too late for you, Amu. I'm disappointed in you." She looked at Ami and her expression changed.

"Come on, sweetie." She grabbed Ami's hand, and pulled her away. Amu widened her eyes as she realized that her mother and sister were leaving. "Mama! Ami" she exclaimed as she ran down the stairs.

She saw her mother and sister walk out of the door, and once Ami saw her older sister, she started to cry. "Onee-chan!"

"Ami!" Amu yelled back, running after her sister, but was held back by Tsumugu. "Papa, stop! We have to get Mama and Ami!"

"No, Amu. You have to let them go."

"This isn't fair!" Her thirteen year-old mind couldn't handle what was going on. She didn't want this to happen, and she knew that her father didn't want it happening either.

:Moon Dexterity:

Ikuto traced his key charm with his slender finger, feeling the hard surface under his skin. His sapphire eyes looked at it closely, remembering all the times he had with his mother before she passed away.

When she gave him the key, he was confused but took it anyway. He knew that she was a wise person, and didn't really question anything she said.

As she explained what the key was for, his confusion grew to the point where he had a headache. But as he got older, he knew what the key was for, and all he had to do was wait. Wait for the person with the matching lock to find him.

He would always imagine who that person was, or how they were. Was it a male or female? It would be odd if it was a male, but she didn't specify what gender. If it was a female, then he wouldn't know how to react. Would he instantly fall for her? Would it be love at first sight? Or would it just be a strong bond that's not romantic at all?

He wasn't sure, but all he had to do was wait.

Wait for his other half.

:Moon Dexterity:

Kukai watched Amu with a serene smile on his face. She looked so angelic as her lips parted, and her eyelashes lightly flowed. Her fingers moved so gracefully, leaving everyone to smile at her piece.

"It's called soccer. Have you heard of it?"

"I'm not stupid. I know what soccer is. I just... don't know how to play," Amu responded as she scratched the back of her head. Kukai chuckled as he placed the soccer ball on the ground.

"Okay then, I'll teach you!" He grabbed Amu's wrist, causing her to yelp. "Not so hard!"

The twelve year-old smiled at the pink haired girl. "Okay, so you place your feet here. Make sure they're firmly planted on the ground."

Amu grumbled, but did what she was told. She looked at him questionably. "Like this?"

Kukai nodded. "Right. Now look at the goal firmly. Say in your mind: I own you!"

"'I own you'? Really?"

"Don't question it. Just do it," he said with a smile.

Amu set her eyes on the goal like she was told. She lifted her right leg up, then kicked as hard as she could. She thought that she had it until her foot completely missed the ball and she ended up on her back. "Ouch!"

Kukai quickly kneeled down as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"I'm not doing that again. That hurt!"

"Hey," Amu looked at Kukai who was looking sternly at her, "don't give up because you mess up one time. You got to man up, and fight harder, no matter how much it hurts."

She widened her eyes at the auburn haired boy. He kept his expression. "Got it?"

Her lips parted slightly as she nodded slowly. "Mhm."

He smiled brightly at her. "Good. Now let's try again!"

Amu bopped her head slightly to the music. Her fingers were getting tired but like usual, she didn't care. She just wanted to play. That was the only thing she was good at.

She could still feel the presence of her friends, and she could feel her song come to an end. Her eyebrows were slanted downwards as her fingers plucked the strings one last time.

They let the piece go through them before making a sound. The silence hung through the air, before Amu stood up.

"Well... I haven't played that piece in a while," she said quietly, letting her thoughts go through her head. Kukai sighed as he stood as well.

"Come on, let's go upstairs. We have a busy day tomorrow." Amu nodded as she let Kukai lead her upstairs to get ready for bed.

Nagihiko and his sister shared a look; a look that Rima noticed. She rolled her eyes. "Something's going on with Amu," she said sternly, having Nagihiko look at her.

"You're right," Nadeshiko stated giving the blond a hard look. "And to be honest, it's none of your business." Her eyes looked sharp, and her lips were pursed. She stood up, and walked up the stairs, probably to see if Amu was alright.

Rima looked at her boyfriend worriedly. "What's wrong with your sister?"

Nagihiko chuckled as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "She's just very protective over Amu." He sighed as he looked towards the stairs. "Amu may look like she's the strongest person in the world, but in reality, she isn't."

Rima lowered her head. "Oh... I'm sorry."

Nagihiko smiled at her, as he kissed her on the cheek. "It's quite alright. We just all have to be there for her, and she'll be fine."

Rima sighed. "If you say so."

:Moon Dexterity:

The next morning, Amu was woken up by a knock on her door. She grumbled in response to the sound.

"Go away," she growled, taking the pillow and placing it over her face.

"Amu, it's me, Ikuto."

"Ikuto?" she exclaimed, getting out of her bed as quickly as she could. She remembered that her wig head along with her cobalt wig were right on her desk, along with her school uniform.

"Hold on a sec!" she yelled, running across the large room to her desk. She took her wig and outfit and placed it in her walk-in closet carefully. After that was taken care of, she got out her outfit for the day.

"Erm, you can come in now."

Ikuto slowly opened the door, examining the large white room. He saw Amu at her bed, sitting next to what seemed to be her outfit for the day.

"You're not even dressed?"

Amu narrowed her eyes at her alarm clock that was on her small table next to her bed. He was two hours early.

"Who the hell do you think you are, just showing up at six in the morning? It's not even light outside yet!"

He shrugged. "I was bored."

"Is anyone else even awake yet?" she asked.

"Yeah, that purple haired guy is. Fujisaki."

She pinched the bridge of his nose. "Tsukiyomi..."

He looked at Amu intently. He had just noticed that she was only in a tank-top and boy shorts. It was... interesting.

"Nice outfit, Amu. It suits you."

"Huh?" she looked down, and noticed what she was wearing. Her eyebrows slanted upwards and her lips pursed into a weird shape. Her face had turned red, much to Ikuto's amusement.

"Get out!" she screamed, pushing Ikuto out the door, and slamming it behind him. She could hear him chuckle, making her feel more heated than she was.

"Ugh! I hate that guy!" she exclaimed aloud. But as she calmed down, she noticed how fast her heart was actually beating.

She slowly placed her hand over her chest, barely hearing her heart beat against her rib cage.

"What's going on...?"

:Moon Dexterity:

"Please put your hands together for Hinamori Amu!"

The crowd cheered as Amu walked from behind the curtains. She waved to her fans, and smiled. "Thanks for having me here!"

She sat down on the desk that had a long line full of people in front of it. She knew that her hand will be cramping, but it was worth it to see every single person smile.

The first person in line was a little girl who was at least six years old. Her face was red with excitement as she almost ran up to the desk.

"Th-Thanks for signing my CD! My favorite song from you is Brick by Boring Brick!"

Amu couldn't help but to smile at the small girl. "You're very welcome. Keep listening," she replied.

After several hours of signing and talking, Amu's hand started to cramp up. Ikuto who was standing beside her, noticed how her palms were red, and her fingers looked strained. He wanted to stop the whole thing, but then he noticed that she only had a few people left.

Amu was almost famished. She was so tired, that if she wanted to, she could easily fall asleep at the desk.

"Hinamori Amu!"

Uh oh...

There she saw Yamabuki Saaya: the Devil from her school. She also had her groupies with her, much to her dismay. It took a lot for Amu not to roll her eyes, and she tried so hard to keep her smile on.

"I am such a huge fan! Your voice sounds so good!"

Amu's eyebrow twitched as she kept her smile. "Good to hear! I met you once right? After one of my concerts."

"You're right. I enjoyed that concert so much! Hinamori Amu, you are perfect in every way!"

When Amu saw the spark in Saaya's eyes, her smile faded. She watched as Saaya talked about her favorite songs, and guitar techniques.

Saaya was a true fan. But why was she so mean to everyone else? That, she did not know.

"Thanks for coming. I'm glad you're enjoying the music." She smiled as she handed Saaya's CD back to her. Saaya nodded and walked away with her group. But before she was out of sight, she caught a glance at Ikuto and stopped in her tracks.

"Ikuto-sama! I didn't know you were here!" Saaya ran her fingers through her hair, trying to look cute as Ikuto scoffed.

"I would've thought that you were with Misaki," she said her name with such venom that it almost left a bad taste in Amu's own mouth.

"Well, I would be if I didn't agree to take Amu to her CD signing," he replied casually.

"Well... I'll see you at school. Save a seat in the cafeteria for me, okay?"

And she was gone.

"I'm glad that's over," Amu said with a sigh, leaning back in her chair. "Now all that's left is the interview."

Ikuto smiled at her. "You did good. I don't particularly like that girl though. She's creepy."

Tell me about it, Amu thought.

"It's okay to close the doors now, Tsukiyomi. I have to get ready for the interview."

Ikuto was about to close the door to the room when they heard someone yell, "Wait!"

Amu sighed as Ikuto stepped aside.

"You have time for one more?"

As Amu recognized that voice, her thoughts went to an abrupt stop. She slowly looked up to see a familiar figure before her.

Her eyes turned to slits as her pupils became dilated. Her teeth clenched, as her eyebrows slanted downwards.

"What do you want..." Her words was nothing but a low whisper, not trusting her actual voice.

Tadase stepped forward, and greeted Tsukiyomi. "Hey, Ikuto. What are you doing here?"

"Just helping out my dad," he replied. But as he looked at Amu, he knew that this wasn't a time for a casual talk. He looked back at Tadase.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

When Ikuto noticed Kairi behind the blond teen he sighed. "Just go." He knew that from the look in Kairi's eyes that he would calm Amu down. He always did somehow.

"Now, Amu-chan-"

"Don't," she seethed. "call me that."

Tadase put his hands up. "Please. I just want to talk to you."

"Get out of here, before I throw you out," she said coldly. "I told you that I never wanted to see you again."

"Hinamori-san."

Amu flinched as she saw someone else stand beside him. "K-Kairi..."

The way she said his name made the forest green haired boy flinch slightly. "Just hear him out, Hinamori-san," he said. "For me."

After all the things that Kairi was there for her, she couldn't say no to him. She narrowed her eyes to the left, as she pouted her lips.

How could Kairi just walk in and make her feel at ease? It can't be that easy. It just can't be.

But she obeyed him. She glared at Tadase.

"What else is there to say?"

Tadase sighed as he saw Ikuto walk over to Amu's side.

"Well... I was thinking about your words from three weeks ago, and I finally came to this conclusion."

Amu's heart started to beat as fast as it ever had been. The way his eyes sparkled made her want to burst into tears.

"Amu... I want to get back together."

Shocking? Not really. But anyway, I just want to thank my amazing beta, Mrs. Flamer for making my story better. :'D
