Chapter 6

"Me?" she croaked. "I'm the one…?"

"Yes. Congratulations."

Amu huffed. "This is so crazy! How can I be the person that can help you? I can hardly help myself!"

"How should I know?" Ikuto rolled my eyes. "The vision directed me to the place I'm taking you now. I don't know what to expect."

"Well, that's just great! It's seems like you no NOTHING!"

"Calm down, Amu. Sheesh, such a drama queen."

"SHUT UP!"

Ikuto smirked. "Are you sure you want to get on my bad side, Amu?"

Amu's eyes slightly widened as he leaned closer to her. "Y-you wouldn't—"

Ikuto just smirked, before backing away. He looked up at the sky. "We should go. Now." Amu pouted, but was soon in Ikuto's arms once more. "Can you perform the levitation spell over us? I'm too long on energy right now."

"Yeah," Amu said. She spoke the simple spell under her breath and they were soon flying through the air.

"Just keep heading straight," Ikuto directed. Amu nodded. "Hopefully we won't bump into any more monsters…"

Amu tried to forget that she heard that last part. She really didn't want to think about monsters right now. "Hey Ikuto?"

"Yeah?"

"Why wasn't my voice working earlier? When I was in front of that thing… I felt like my voice couldn't work. I couldn't say any spell…"

"Just part of her power. Or maybe you were just traumatized." Ikuto smirked at her. Amu scowled at him.

"Idiot," she muttered, all the while concentrating on the spell. It didn't need a whole lot of concentration from her, like it did Ikuto. But it still needed some attention.

The ray of light came from nowhere. It hit them with full impact, and caught them by surprise. They fell out of the sky and Amu fell out of Ikuto's arms.

"AMU!" he roared. He reached out his arm, but right before he could touch her, a force pulled her backwards and out of reach.

"IKUTO!" she screamed.

"Amu!" he yelled, but his voice was becoming distant. She was being pulled by an invisible force backwards very fast and in a few moments, Ikuto was out of sight.

Amu shut her eyes.

"Ikuto!" she screamed again. "Ikuto! Ikuto!"

Suddenly she felt herself stop and slowly descend. Her feet touched hard earth and Amu fell to the floor. Her eyes snapped open. She was on a high mountain that overlooked the foggy forest. How did she get here so fast? She tried to keep her breathing steady but it was extremely hard.

"Hinamori Amu? Hello."

Amu whipped her head around. Behind her was a small cave that went inside the mountain. In the opening, stood a tall teenage boy. He had blond hair and a big grin on his face. His eyes were a ruby colored and he seemed to slightly glow. He was somewhat… breath taking.

"You're Hinamori Amu, right?"

"Y-yes… Who are you?" Amu stood up from the ground.

The boy gave her a glamorous smile. "I'm Hotori Tadase. It's very nice to meet you, Hinamori-san. Why don't you come inside?" He started walking towards her, his smile never leaving his face.

(A/N:…. I am not proud of the length of this chapter…. I PROMISE THE NEXT ONE WILL BE MUCH LONGER!)
