Lost But Not Forgotten- Chapter 5

-Amu -

I ran.

Where am I running to?

I have no clue.

Anywhere from here. I didn't look back once as I ran. I soon ran out of breath and stopped in an alley, trying to catch my breath.

Pant. Pant. Pant. Pant.

All of a sudden, I heard footsteps. I looked behind me, and a drunken man was standing before me wearing tattered clothing. You could tell he was drunk by the way he walked.

"Hey there girly." He said, slurring his words.

Amu looked at him and didn't say a word.

"How about you come hang out with me? We could have some fun." He stated. The man took one step forward, and Amu took one step back.

"N-No thanks." Amu stuttered. The man took another step forward. Amu took another step back, and she came in contact with a brick wall.

The man walked towards her.

Closer. Closer. Closer.

She soon came face-to-face with the man. He chuckled, and she could smell the alcohol in his breath.

"Come on," he began to run his hand up and down her thigh. "We could have some fun"

Amu's honey-colored eyes widened in fear. "N-No…" she said again.

The man ran his hand up a little bit higher. "S-Stop." She commanded. The man chuckled and pinned her to the wall, before kissing her roughly.

Amu managed to let out screams for help, in between the man's "kissing".

"Ikuto… help me…"

-Ikuto-

Ikuto ran towards where the scream came from, hoping it was not Amu who had screamed.

"STOP! IKUTO! HELP! SOMEONE!" Amu's voice called from an alley nearby.

Ikuto ran towards the alley and saw Amu pinned to a wall and a man trying to 'get what he wanted'.

Ikuto ran up to the man and grabbed the back of his shirt before flinging him into the wall to the right of them.

The man automatically passed out after being thrown into the wall. Ikuto ran over to Amu and hugged her tightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to cry.

Ikuto picked her up bridal-style and carried her to his apartment.

He laid her down on his bed and sat beside her.

Ikuto caressed her face as she slept.

"She looks so peaceful…" he thought. "Just like an angel…"

Amu's eyes fluttered open and she stared into Ikuto's sapphire eyes. "Are you alright?" he asked, concerned. Amu nodded. "I'm sorry…" she began quietly. "Why are you apologizing? It's not like it's your fault. "Ikuto interrupted her. "But still…I've caused you so much trouble..." she said, quietly.

Ikuto shook his head."Its perfectly fine, Amu. Don't worry about it." He said. Amu nodded.

"Anou…thank you…" she said. Ikuto smiled slightly. "You're welcome." He replied.

All of a sudden, Amu remembered the note Ikuto had left and the words he wrote replayed in her mind yet again.

I love you.

Amu's cheeks became fairly red and Ikuto looked at her worried. "Are you alright? Do you have a fever?" he asked, obviously worried about her. Amu shook her head. "N-no, I'm fine." She said, nervously.

Ikuto nodded. "Alright then…"

Silence took over the two of them. They would each sneak a peek at their crush.

When Ikuto would see Amu looking, she would blush, and look away. When Amu would see Ikuto looking, HE would blush, and look away.

Amu then broke the silence. "Uhm…Ikuto?" she started, blushing. "Yeah?" he asked, giving her his full attention. "What was that not about…?" she asked, blushing. "O-Oh. Uhm… was there a certain part that you didn't understand?" he asked, slightly blushing himself.

Amu shook her head. "Well… the last part... is it true?" she asked, her face extremely red.

Ikuto grabbed her chin and looked into her eyes. "Yeah, it's true. It will always be true." He replied, with a gentle smile on his face.

Amu blushed and nodded. "Oh, I see."

"Amu, I'm going to help you get through this. I will help set you free." He stated.

Amu nodded. "Thank you...so much… for everything." She said.

Ikuto smiled at her and shook his head. "No problem."

Suddenly, Ikuto's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" he asked in a professional voice.

"Hello, this is Midori Hinamori. Would it be alright if my daughter were to stay with you for the next week? I'll be having company and she would just get in the way." She said in a snooty voice.

Ikuto smiled at Amu.

"That would not be a problem Madam. Okay. No problem. Good bye." He said before hanging up.

"What was that about?" Amu asked.

Ikuto just shrugged. "You're staying with me for a whole week."

Amu's eyes widened.

"N-No way!" she screamed.

Ikuto chuckled. "Yes way."

Amu sighed before yawning loudly.

Ikuto chuckled yet again. "Someone's tired. Let's get some sleep." Ikuto said.

Amu nodded and closed her eyes. Ikuto came onto the bed and wrapped his arms around her eaist and pulled her closer.

Amu, of course, blushed at this. "What are you doing?" she asked, nervously."You're warm… just for tonight..? Please?" Ikuto asked in a child's voice. Amu sighed.

"Fine. But only for tonight." She said, annoyed. Ikuto smiled and pulled Amu closer.

Amu, not caring about her actions, snuggled into his chest.

They both soon fell asleep, in each other's embrace.
