.:Amuto: Forget Me Not:.
.:Chapter 2:.
.:The Man Who Shines like Stars, Has Tears Staining his Perfect Face:.
Sarah: Hi Hi everyone!! Well it's the end of winter break for me...I'm so excited to see my friends..and a certain person...hahahaha.
Amu: You pervert.
Sarah: ...Shut up! I wasn't thinking about how Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks or anything...
Ikuto: Uh huh, sure you weren't.
Sarah: Well sorrryyyy. Anyway, readers I just want to clarify something. I'm naming my chapters this time around, trying something new. This chapter's name is kind of long..'The Man Who Shines Like Stars, Has Tears Staining His Perfect Face'. Each chapter I'm going to narrate from a different character's point of view. First chapter was narrated by Amu. This chapter is narrated by Ikuto. Because of what just happened in the first chapter and all...
Amu: You made it really kind of dramatic. Was it really necessary for me to throw a vase...?
Sarah: I was just in the zone okay?! Jeez.
Ikuto: Keiko was right it was rather funny.
Sarah: It was not supposed to be funny!! It was...supposed...to be...dramatic.
Amu: Oh it was.
Sarah: Either way, I hope you enjoy reading Amuto Forget Me Not Chapter 2!
"What am I talking about?!? What are you talking about?! I don't know you!! Get away please!! Someone help me!! Help me!!"
"Please.." I whispered.
"GET OUT!!" She cried, throwing something that looked like a vase at me while the guards starting crowding into the room. I quickly character changed with Yoru and got out of there.
The terrified expression, her eyes screaming out fear with tears running endlessly from them. And the person who gave her this extreme unhappiness..was myself. How, what..just happened in there? Barely seeing from my blurry vision I hopped over a few buildings until I got to my special place: an old abandoned apartment building. I came here when I needed to think things over, or just needed to sit and relax. I went over to the old used up cot that I had brought from my old bedroom and laid back on it. Looking up at all the cracks in the ceiling matching the torn up wallpaper around the corners, I thought about my little Strawberry. When I was finally able to confess to her, tell her my true feelings, she started crying. Yelling at me about how she didn't know me... My hands clenched the cot tightly. How could she not know me? I've known her for a long time now!! We've always been near eachother..always. She always blushed when I came by, or hugged her, or any sort of small affection that I would give her. My knuckles were locked on so hard onto the cot that they were turning white. Why? I keep asking myself. Was I too strong? She did just get injured...I thought cringing at the memory. Amu and I had been at a small pastry cafe a half hour earlier before the terrible incident, and I was messing around with her a little bit.
The cafe was called 'Chocolate Icing', and as I was having a small nap on a tree near by, I saw my favorite little girl looking inside the decorated windows, looking at all the treats. I laughed a little, Amu is so cute. I don't know how there can be any girl as beautiful inside and out as she is. From what I could see, Amu was wearing her two usual colors: red and black. She was wearing a black sleeveless mini dress that fluffed out a little at the bottom, with what seemed to be a black with silver studded belt. She had pulled up her bangs with her little cross clip, and was wearing a red shirt that's collar was wide and went from shoulder to shoulder with sleeves that went to her elbows under neath the twirling her little fingers into her red and black beaded necklace, she looked absolutely stunning as her mouth was watering for some of those sweets. I jumped down from the tree and walked over to the cafe window and pulled Amu into a hug. Of course Amu's face turned an adorable shade of red that matched her outfit.
"Wh-What?!"
I bent down and whispered in her ear "Hello, little Strawberry."
Her face went a deeper shade of red and she started to be stubborn.
"Ikuto?! Le-Let go of me!!"
I smile, I love her half hearted reactions. I know she really does not want me to let go, or she would fight back. She can since she does have her Shugo Chara with her. I looked over at her charas, who were staring at the two of us. I respond to little Amu by saying softly:
"You like sweets right?"
She looks up at me.
"Of course i do! But, why does that matter?"
Still smiling I grab her hand (which she did not fight) and pull her into the small cafe. Inside I smell the sweet aroma of the melted chocolate and can almost taste the sugars and layers of frosting applied to all of the mini cakes, cupcakes,cookies and such. Even though she had appeared to be uncomfortable with me, she was sure enjoying the little cafe's decor. Her mouth was opened wide with a huge smile and her eyes shining. This was the side of Amu I loved most. It was her weakest side, the one that she hardly ever showed to anyone. I love all of her, but seeing her smile makes my day. I pull her again to the front desk showing off their treats on fine plates inside the large display case and say to her:
"Pick whatever you like. Today, it's on me."
She looks up at me and then takes a long stare at all the delicious candies and baked goods in front of her. I noticed that her eyes kept flickering from me to the piece of Strawberry Shortcake on the side of the fantastic display. There was only one left. I smiled, she wanted the strawberry shortcake but was too stubborn to say anything. So I take out my wallet, and I go to the female clerk and ask her for the one piece of Strawberry Shortcake left.
"Can I have the Strawberry Shortcake please?"
The clerk types it in to the cash register and pulls up the amount for the purchase, as I hand her the money I see Amu all red again.
"W-What did you buy that for?? I thought I was supposed to choose!"
I laugh and hand her the small cafe dish.
"This is what you wanted isn't it?" I asked her playfully.
She turns a little red again and walks over to one of the tables saying
"Shut up!"
I follow her and sit directly opposite to her so I can watch her. I see her pick up the fork and eat her strawberry shortcake. As she's eating she keeps looking at me, and finally slams down her fork and says
"Why do you keep staring at me?! Why aren't you talking?!"
I reply:
"Well you did tell me to keep quiet."
She grabs her fork again and takes a big bite and looks out the window. Jeez, she's soo stubborn. I notice that she has a bit of frosting on the corner of her lip. I smile, I know a way to loosen things up. So I bend over towards her, take my thumb and wipe it off. She looks quickly at me with her face all red again. I lick the frosting off of my finger, and her face reddens up more. It tasted good. As shes glaring at me with her big eyes I say
"Thank you for the treat Amu."
Amu all flustered just looks down at her almost empty plate and mutters
"Stupid perverted cat.."
Before I can make another comment we hear the small cries coming from Amu's charas.
"Amu-chan! We have trouble!" Cried out Ran.
"Big trouble -desu!" Su said anxiously.
"Amu I feel a type of negative egg energy that I have never felt before, we have to go see what's going on!" Miki added.
I saw Amu getting up and about to leave with her charas, Amu turns around quickly to look at me and says.
"Do you know what is going on Ikuto?"
A bit surprised by her question I slowly reply:
"No.."
Then she turns and walks out the door with two small words that she whispered that I could barely hear
"Thank goodness."
As I was watching her run off, I started to get worried. If she fights alone..she might get hurt! I call over Yoru who was looking at the sweet display, and we follow the little pinkette. As we are following I even start to feel the presence of a huge X-Egg energy. When I find Amu she is already character transformed with Ran. I decide to help out too.
"Yoru."
Yoru flies next to me and replies
"Okay let's do this-Nya!"
In a few seconds of blue light, Yoru and I transformed into Black Lynx. I ran over to Amu's side and looked up at the enemy. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. Alot of X-Eggs had been combined into this gigantic figure made of glowing purple and black X-Egg mass. It looked very powerful. Too powerful for just the two of us to handle. I turn to Amu.
"Amu, do you have a way to reach the Kiddy King and the others?"
I saw her face, Amu looked terrified. I had never seen her this scared of X-Eggs before. Her body was trembling, and her eyes were wide with fear. I grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her to face me.
"Amu, I need you to get more help. We won't be able to fight this alone."
She nods and takes out her phone. As she's dialing I look over at the X-Egg creation, it has not noticed us yet. She looks up at me her face even more troubled now.
"They aren't answering."
This is serious.
"Is there any other number you can call? Anything?"
"No..Yaya and Rima don't have cell phones, Kukai's was off and so was Tadese's."
Idiots. Why is it when we need them..Then I hear a sort of screeching sound coming towards us. It sounded like "Useless, Useless" I look up to find the monster coming at is full speed. I grab Amu and get us out of the way just in time before the attack. The monster's body was not completely solid, so it could extend and get as large as it wanted. This is bad. Now that it knows we are here we have no choice. I look at Amu again. This time Amu is summoning her Heart Rod. She still looks terrified, but she's stubborn Amu. Not willing to give up without a fight.
"I don't know what this thing is," she told me "But, I'm not going to let it hurt anyone!"
With those strong words Amu jumped into the air and went right in front of the monster.
"Spiral Heart!"
But then something went wrong. Right as the baton came winding around at the monster, the giant whipped it away destroying the heart rod's power. Then, as Amu is still in mid air the monster's long arm came swinging at her! NO! I WILL NOT LET YOU HURT HER!
"AMU!"
I jumped as high as I could to reach her, and got to her in time to push her out of the way. The impact of the X-Egg's creation's attack was put all onto me. I couldn't see anything, I just felt the pain as I hit the ground. All I could hear was Amu' screams.
"NOO! IKUTO!!!"
Amu...I...I..have to make sure she is alright. I forced my eyelids to open, and found myself locked in the grasp of the monster's arm. The hold on me was tight. Then looking at the teary eyed Amu she starts running towards me and the monster. In defense, the monster's body dissolves a little letting out a strange type of X-Egg I have never seen. Instead of being the usual black, it was purple and glowing. It and about a dozen regular X-Eggs came flying at Amu. She took out her poms-poms and used her shield to deflect the eggs for enough time to start her negative heart. It was wierd, all of the X-Eggs seemed to be protecting the purple one.
"Negative Heart! Lock On!"
As she locked onto the X-Eggs I realized that the purple one was gone. Was I just seeing things? Pink swirls of magic meant the X-Eggs could not escape.
"Open Heart!"
As she was purifying the X-Eggs, I saw a flicker of purple light, the purple light went into Amu's chest. All of a sudden Amu was her regular self again and was falling to the ground. The purified eggs flew away, but the monster was still here. Before I could do anything the monster took his other arm and hit Amu. Amu went flying across the lot, landing on the asphalt unconscious. AMU!!! As I was about to try to force my way out of the arm, the monster disappeared. Behind the disappearing monster I saw Amu's friends. But I didn't care about them, they were too late. I ran as fast as I could to get to Amu. I slowly picked her up in my arms crying. Why? Why was I not strong enough..Why could I not get there in time!!! Then I noticed, that the presence of her charas were gone. I held her tightly. What...What just happened? Then her friends came running towards us screaming.
"Amu-chan! Amu-chan!"
I look at all of her bruises and scratches. I let her get hurt, I let this all happen. hug her even tighter tears running down my cheeks.
"Amu.." I say softly.
Then the rest happens in a blur. As I hold onto Amu, the Kiddy Kings calls an ambulence. Then as they take her into the car, I go with them. I hold onto her the whole ride to the hospital, not able to hold back my tears. It takes alot for me to cry. Amu..Amu is my world, and my fragile world, got injured. The doctors when we got to the hospital told me that I would have to let her go so they can operate. Even though I did not want to, I had to let go of her. I waited many hours in the waiting room, drinking too many cups of coffee to count. Then the doctor comes out again and tells me that I can see her now. I run into her room to find my cute strawberry, injected with many wires. She looked so fragile, so easily broken. It was about to bring me into tears again, when her mother and family came into the room. I could tell that the mother had been balling. Her red sore looking eyes glared at me. She started screaming
""You there, young man, leave! You aren't apart of this family."
NO! They are going to try to make me leave Amu!!
"Please let me stay!!" I try to reason with them.
But the doctor stood up and said harshly.
"No. Get out."
I looked at the parents and thier youngest daughter, and looked back at Amu. I could not disobey her parents' wishes, they needed time with thier daughter. So I walk over to Amu and whisper in her ear
"" I will love you always Amu. I will be back."
And without hearing anything else I dash out of the hospital, planning ways to get back in to visit her later tonight.
I come back to reality from my painful memories, to find myself crying like a baby again. A man cannot keep crying. I saw Yoru looking at me worried, and I pat his head.
"I'm okay." I tell him. When, I'm really not. I have to see her again.
As the young Ikuto tries to figure out a way to see Amu once more, his younger sister had plans of visiting Amu of her own. Utau strolled into Amu's hospital room to find her awake and smirks at the little girl.
"Hello there, Amu-chan."
