Lost But Not Forgotten-Chapter 3

"WAKE UP!!!!" Amu's mother Midori screamed at her before hitting her in the arm to wake her up and running down stairs angrily and out the door to work. Amu sat up in bed and looked at the bruise her mother had just given her. She sighed and got up and took a shower.

She brushed her teeth and as she did so, she took a glance in the mirror at herself. She saw her dull colored golden eyes and her pale-skinned face. She looked at herself with shock for a moment, looking at the scars and such her parents had given her.

She reached up and touched the scars that ran along her face. She sighed before getting her foundation and spreading it all over her scars on her whole body. She put on some black skinny Jeans, a black "All Time Low" Shirt, some black converse, and to top it all off, she wore a black bow in her hair. quickly and walked out the door, not giving her hell of a house another glance.

Suddenly, someone wrapped their arms around her and she instantly knew who it was. "What do you want, Ikuto?" she asked, with bitterness in her voice. "Am I not to walk you to school?" he asked, ignoring her coldness.

" I don't exaclty see why you would even want to... but whatever." she said, obviously not caring. "Alright then." he said before pulling his arms back and walking beside her.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I'm going to be a student teacher for that Nikaidou guy." Ikuto said, not looking at her. "Oh..." Amu replied, bored. "Yeah. You don't really mind, do you?" he asked. "Nope. I don't really care." she replied, not even looking at him.

Ikuto continued to walk beside her awkwardly. Neither one of them said a word.

"Amu?" Ikuto asked. "Yeah?" she replied, boredly. "I heard your mom or someone yelling this morning... she didn't do anything else to you..did she?" he asked, looking at her intently. Amu looked down at her feet. "Ah...oh..um...yeah, she just yelled...nothing more than that..." she said hesitantly.

Ikuto stared at her. "You're lying." he stated. "What makes you think that?" Amu asked, not looking at him. "I can just tell when you're lying Amu. Did she hit you again?" he asked her seriously.

Amu nodded sadly. Ikuto's hands balled up into fists. He clutched his hands so tight, his knuckles turned white. Amu looked at his hands, then up at his face, which showed pure anger.

"Ikuto...calm down." she said in a quiet and calm tone. "How can I Amu? I know that this is all MY fault... I've put you through so much pain..I'll never forgive myself..." Ikuto said, quietly.

Amu was silent for a moment, then spoke. "It's not ALL your fault... It was mostly mine... I never told anyone how I felt, and I never tried to make myself feel better about you leaving. I just moped around the house...and my parents just got sick of it..." she said quietly.

"It's not your fault at all Amu. You wouldn't have been moping if I hadn't left." he said boldly. "But you left for a good cause, Ikuto. Finding your father is an important thing." she stated.

Ikuto nodded slowly. "But you know, you could have at least called..." Amu said. "Mm...I'm so sorry Amu... I'lll get you out of this... I swear it on my life." he promised. Amu smiled for a moment and her dull eyes became just a tad bit brighter.

"Ah, Ikuto?" She asked. "Yeah?" he replied. "Thanks." she said, slightly smiling. He gave her a crooked smile back. "No problem."

"Come on. We're here." Ikuto said, pullng her into the school building. Everyone noticed Ikuto and began to talk. When they saw how close he and Amu were to eachother, they began to spread rumors.

Later In School

Saaya ran up to Ikuto. "Heyy. My name is Saaya. What's your name?" she asked, trying to be seductive. "Tsukyomi Ikuto." he replied boredly. Saaya's eyes wandered to who was beside him. Hinamori Amu. The girl whom she had teased since she began to be "dark and creepy" is how she put it.

"Ikuto-kun? Why are you hanging around with...that?" Saaya sneered. Amu looked down at the ground.

"First of all, I never gave you premission to use my first name. Second, because I happen to like her. Why? Is there a problem with her?" he asked her, curiously.

"Well Duh! I mean, look at her! She is all dark and creepy! She has PINK hair for gods sake!! A total freak!" Saaya said, looking Amu up and down.

Amu continued to stare at her feet. Ikuto glared at Saaya. "Don't you DARE ever say anything like that about her ever again! Do you know anything she has been through!?!?" he said, extremely angry.

Saaya blushed in embarrassment. "W-Well no..but-" Ikuto interrupted her. "Exactly. So, don't talk crap on her. I can tell you think you are one of those girls that think they are perfect. Sorry, but you are pretty far from perfect." he said coldly before grabbing Amu's hand and walking away, leaving Saaya there, wide-eyed.

Amu was silent. Ikuto squeezed her hand.

In The Classroom

They arrived in the classroom 5 minuted before the bell was scheduled to ring. Amu was quiet and Ikuto looked at her sadly. "Are you alright?" he asked her, worried. "Yeah... I'm pretty much used to it by now..." she said, still looking down.

Everyone was now looking at the pair. Ikuto grabbed her chin and made her look at him in the eyes. "You should never have to go through that, Amu. You are a strong girl. Ignore her." he said wisely. Amu nodded before sitting down in her seat in the very back. Ikuto sat in the empty desk beside her.

Everyone stared back at them. Ikuto gave them a little glare and they looked away.

Soon, the bell rang and Nikaidou-sensei walked in. "Ohaiyo, class. We have a new teacher...student...whatever you would like to call him, who is going to join us for the rest of the year. Please welcome ." he . Everyone clapped and Ikuto stood up and went to the front of the room.

"As Nikaidou said, I will be in this class with all of you. I'm pretty much a tutor if you need help in any assignment or anything of that sort. If you have any problems, plese come to me." Ikuto said the last part as he stared at Amu, then back at the rest of the class.

The boys were alright with it, and the girls had stars in their eyes. Most likely thinking things like, "Tsukiyomi-sensei!~" and "He's so amazing!!~".

Ikuto tried not to laugh at the girls. His eyes scanned over the whole room and soon they landed on Amu. She was staring out the window and at the clouds, day dreaming.

"Alright. Does anyone have any questions for Tsukiyomi-sensei?" Nikaidou asked. Almost all of the girl's hands went up. "Ah, Anna?" Nikaidou said, picking her. "ARE YOU SINGLE!?!?!" she part yelled, part asked.

Amu's eyes snapped to the font of the room.

She waited in anticipation for his answer.

Ikuto stared back at her. "Yeah." he replied.

All of the girls, except Amu, squealed in happiness and excitement.

"BUT, I already promised someone that I would come back for her." he said, staring at Amu.

Amu blushed a tiny bit before looking down at her desk, then back out the window.

Ikuto chuckled.

The school day droned on, until it was finally time for 9th hour. The only 2 times Ikuto would get to see Amu were 1st and 9th.

Amu walked in and went straight to the back of her seat. Ikuto followed.

All of the girls became rather jealous of Amu, so they soon began to hate her more.

She would get notes in her locker that had threats and such. She, of course, never told Ikuto.

9th hour was soon over and Ikuto was walking with Amu out of the school.

Ikuto stared at her in wonder. Amu glanced over at him. "What?" she asked. "How are you?" he asked, seriously. "Uh...good... I guess." she replied. "I mean apart from... that." he said, not really wanting to bring up her beatings and her family.

"Oh, i'm still doing okay." she replied. There was a moment of silence between the two of them. "Amu..." Ikuto began. "I've been keeping my promise." he said kind of quietly.

They were pretty far from school now, and they continued to talk.

Amu blushed yet again. "W-Why? You could have found a really pretty and nice girl in Europe." she said. "No. I prefer girls with pink hair, honey-colored eyes, and pale cheeks that get red when I say or do things." he said before chuckling a little bit. (A/N: PERVERTS!! DONT THINK I MEANT IT LIKE THAT!! XDD)

"Her name starts with an A. You know where Im going with this?" he asked teasingly. Amu blushed even darker. "Y-yeah..." she said, looking away from him. Ikuto cupped her face in his hands and looked her in the eyes, much like he did when he was looking at her cut just the other day.

"I love you, Amu." Ikuto said, seriously. Amu's face turned a very bright red. Ikuto couldn't help but chuckle.

"S-Stop teasing..." she said, quietly. Ikuto frowned. Why did she always think he was teasing her? "I'm not teasing. I'm being very truthful." he stated. Amu looked away again and they walked in silence.

They soon reached the steps of her house and they heard yelling coming from the inside.

Ikuto walked with her to the door and before Amu could say anything, he knocked on the door.

Amu's mother, Midori, saw Ikuto and immediatly calmed down. She came outside and smiled a fake smile. "Hello. May I help you?" she asked. She then noticed Amu beside him and sent her a little glare.

Amu hid behind Ikuto. "Hi. You must be , correct?" he asked. "Yes. Haven't we met before?" she asked, looking at him oddly. "I can't say we have Miss." he said.

"Oh, alright. But why are you here exactly?" she asked him curiously.

"My name is Ikuto Tsukiyomi. I'm the new tutor. If Amu has any problems in school, please do not hesitate to call me. Also, if any of you need a counsleror anything of that sort, I can also help with that." he replied.

"Oh! Alright. Amu is doing very bad in school. She really needs a tutor! Also, thank you for the offer, but we don't need any counsling." she replied, rather quickly, giving Amu a quick glance.

All that she had just said was a lie. Amu happened to be a straight A student and they obviously needed some sort of counsilng.

Ikuto nodded and smiled. "Alright. Call me and we can set up some dates for her tutoring." he said in a professional tone.

Midori smiled her fake smile yet again and nodded. "Alright, thank you! I will be sure to give you a call." she said. "Come on Amu. I think I may need some help with dinner." she said to her daughter.

Amu nodded, scared, and followed her mother. "Bye Ikuto..." she whispered. He nodded, letting her know that he heard her before walking away.

After they walked in, the door closed behind them and Midori turned to her before kicking her hard in the stomach.

Amu yelped in pain. "That's for bringing him home!! YOU DO NOT TELL OTHER PEOPLE OUR BUSINESS!!" she screamed at her before punching her in the same place she kicked her.

Midori left her alone on the floor,in pain. Amu crawled upstairs to her room.

She heard a tap on her balcony door and saw Ikuto standing there like she used to. He rushed in and hugged her, being careful not to hurt her any further than her mother had.

Before she could stop them, tears began to cascade down Amu's cheeks.

She thought about Ami.

She thought about her old friends whom had drifted away from her.

She thought about Ikuto.

Ikuto

He held her like she was the most fragile thing in the world.

A few tears even spilled down Ikuto's cheeks.

She cried into his chest quietly all through out the night.

She cried for the first time in about 6 years in the arms of the man she loved before falling asleep.
