Finally Found You

Ikuto was soon taken to a town that took long hours of getting there. Now, as he looked at the vast sea around him, he could see a small looking town nearby. The man that had taken Ikuto there stopped the boat at the new town's pier. He then looked over at Ikuto and spoke.

"This is where I took her, just as she requested." He started "Please do find her. If she really is Tsugumu's daughter, then she must be found."

"Don't worry. I don't intend to leave this place until I find her." Assured Ikuto.

He was tired and worn out. Ikuto didn't get any sleep inside the boat for two reasons. One, the boat was a bit small and he didn't find it comfortable to sleep in. Two, he was too busy thinking of Amu and where to find her to even think of going to sleep, so in the end, he didn't even bother to go to sleep at all.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck your highness. I'm glad that she has found someone like you who cares so much about her to go through all this trouble." Said the old man with a smile.

"It's more like the other way around." Stated Ikuto "I should be the one who owes her so much for what she's done for me. That's why, I won't give up until I find her."

"Just a little piece of advice highness, please try to get some sleep and rest first." He told Ikuto "You don't seem to be feeling too good."

"I am a bit tired…" thought Ikuto "But I have to find Amu, I can't just stop here." Ikuto just gave the old man a smile and thanked him for the boat ride.

"I should be taking my leave highness." Said the old man "I still have a lot of things to do when I get back. There are people here who can take you back to our town once you're done here."

"Thank you." Said Ikuto with a smile "Do have a safe trip back."

"You're welcome highness, and I wish you but the best of luck." Replied the old man as he soon got into his small boat and set sail back to the town of Corinth.

Ikuto sighed when he could no longer see the old man and his boat. They disappeared in the vast sea in front of him. "How am I supposed to find Amu in this town?" he asked himself.

He looked around and saw lot's of townspeople, one's he's never seen in his life. He wondered how he was going to find Amu in a town filled with strangers and various people he had no clue about.

"This is going to be one long day…" muttered Ikuto and then he started to walk around the town hoping that with some luck, he'd be able to find Amu soon.

Meanwhile Back In the Mansion

Utau and the others have been inside the Yamabuki household searching for all of he things that can be filed against the Yamabuki family. On the one hand, no one was there to disturb whatever they were doing, but on the other hand, all they've found are Saaya's useless junk.

"This is going nowhere." Stated Rima "We need to find that will."

The one thing they were aiming to find was the will that was written by Amu's father. The will of Amu's inheritance of the mansion and everything in it, and of her rights to own it. Now though, they were having no such luck.

"Where could they have placed it?" asked Nagihiko as he looked around Lady Yamabuki's room.

"It has to be here somewhere." Said Rima "They can sure hide things like this, I'll give them that much."

"Well, it has to be someplace where we would never think of looking." Suggested Nagihiko. "Somewhere no one would veer suspect it to be in."

"So, what you're saying is that it's not in here then?" asked Kukai as he stopped his search.

"I mean, think about it. If the Yamabukis really did hide it, they would put it in the last place we'd ever think of looking for it right?" asked Nagihiko.

"But if that's the case, then they knew that we'd be starting here, since this is the most obvious choice." Said Dia.

"So, now what?" asked Daichi "We can't just stop can we? It has to be here somewhere."

"We just have to ask ourselves then." Suggested Kairi as he fixed his glasses "Where would be the last place you'd think of looking for a will that was so important that your life depended on it?"

"…" All of them were silent and started thinking. Where could it have been? Lady Yamabuki would never place it in her own room if she knew that they were going to be looking for it, so where???

Everyone was silent and still, that was until Ran smiled and spoke "I got it!"

"Ran?" asked Daichi "What's up? Do you know where it is???"

"Nope, I have no idea of it's exact location, but I do have some kind of guess." Said Ran with a smile.

"So? Where do you think it's in?" asked Utau confused.

"Why don't we all search our own rooms?" suggested Ran.

"Our own rooms???" asked the others in unison.

"Why in the world would they put it in one of our rooms? We could have easily found it." Said Rima.

"That's what we thought." Said Ran "But what if it's really there? What if they were willing to risk it? I mean, in times like this, we wouldn't even bother to look in our rooms right? Because we think that if they do that, we'd easily find it."

"She has a point there." Said Kukai "Why would you guys bother to look in your rooms for the will? It'd be an absurd idea to put it there to begin with. But isn't that what we're aiming for?"

"The last place we'd think of, the craziest and weirdest place we'd think she'd bother putting it in…" repeated Nagihiko.

"Exactly." Said Ran.

"I say we give it a shot." Said Utau "We'll never really know unless we try right?"

They all nodded in agreement to search they're own rooms. "Hey, you guys go to your own rooms. Utau and I will go search Hinamori's room." Said Kukai.

"Alright, we never know right?" said Nagihiko. "Let's all go to separate rooms and eventually meet back in the lobby and report what we find."

"Agreed." Stated Kairi as all the others also nodded in agreement.

So, that's what they all did. They split up and searched every nook and cranny, every corner and hole in every single room, but it seemed like it was also going nowhere. Nothing was found in any of the rooms. Rima's was empty and so were the rooms of all the others.

Even though the others had no luck in finding anything, Kukai had no plan on giving up just yet. He and Utau still continued to search in Amu's room no matter how long it took. Utau sighed as she looked over Kukai, who was currently massacring Amu's room looking for something.

"Kukai…" started Utau "What if it really isn't here? Maybe we should search elsewhere." She suggested.

"No way Utau. I have a really big feeling that it's in here somewhere." Said Kukai confidently.

"If it was here then shouldn't we have found it by now?" asked Utau, she didn't like seeing him stress out too much about this.

"Nope." Said Kukai with a small smile. "That will is hidden, so we can't expect finding it to be easy."

"I guess you're right." Said Utau with a sigh. "But we've searched every single part of this room Kukai, we even looked under the bed and nothing was there."

Kukai suddenly stopped moving for a while and then he grinned "That's it!"

"Huh? What's it?" asked Utau confused as she watched curiously as Kukai walked towards the bed.

"Souma-kun? Did you find anything?" Nagihiko and Rima suddenly came inside Amu's room and soon even Tadase and Kairi were there too along with all the others.

"Souma-san?" asked Kairi confused "What, may I ask, are you doing?"

"Guys, I need you to help me move Hinamori's bed out of the way." Said Kukai as he started to push one of the four sides of the bed.

"Why?" asked Nagihiko "What's that all for?"

"Trust me on this one why don't you." Said Kukai.

All the remaining boys, aside from Kukai, looked at one another confused. They had no idea what he was up to, or what he was doing. They didn't even know if Kukai would accomplish anything by doing this, but hey, it's worth a shot right?

"Come on guys, let's go and help him out. Kukai might be on to something here." Said Daichi as he started to help his brother.

"Oh well." Tadase and the others were soon helping Kukai push the bed away from it's original place and down to another side of the room.

"What do you think Kukai's up to?" asked Ran as she looked at the boys.

"No clue, but he sure seems determined to put aside Amu's bed somewhere else." Said Rima with a sigh.

"I guess we're about to find out." Said Miki.

As they pushed the bed aside, Kukai gave them a triumphant smile. "There we go." He told them.

"So? What were you trying to accomplish with doing this?" asked Kairi.

Kukai didn't answer and he just walked around the room. Everyone started at him as he walked and then he soon reached the side of the room where Amu's bed used to be. Kukai the grew a grin on his face and muttered to himself "Thought so.."

"What are you talking about Kukai?" asked Rima.

"Check it out." Said Kukai as he knelt down on the empty space where Amu's bed used to be. "One of the wooden floorboards are a bit detached."

Nagihiko and the others stared at Kukai in awe. He was right, one of the floorboards really were detached and they didn't even notice. "How did you…" started Tadase.

"Kinda simple really." Stated Kukai "I walked around the room to make sure, but when I walked on the space where Hinamori's bed used to be, the sound was kind of different you know, so I figured something was up, and I was right."

They all continued to stare at him. Kukai started to pull out the detached and loose floorboard off the floor. "Now, let's go have a look see on what's in here shall we?"

As he pulled the board off, his grin got even wider. Right in front of him, in that small gap on the floor, was a white rolled up piece of paper.

"Told you we'd find it here." Said Kukai as he got the piece of paper and stood up properly. "It was right under Hinamori's bed this whole time."

Nagihiko smiled and so did the others. Utau was overjoyed and she went over and gave Kukai a hug. "They're right, you really are amazing." She told him silently.

"Nah, it was nothing." Said Kukai with a grin.

Kairi the coughed and spoke when he got their attention. "I hate to break up this moment for everyone, but can we at least check it's contents just to make sure? We may be overjoyed for nothing in the end."

"Oh…right." Agreed Kukai.

He carefully unrolled the paper and then he showed it to Kairi. Indeed it was a will, not just any will, it was the one they were looking for. "Looks genuine enough to me." Said Kukai.

"I agree." Said Nagihiko with a smile "Tsugumu-san's signature is in it too, so this has to be his handwriting."

"Nice job Kukai, looks like you've done it again." Said Rima. "Can I ask you something though?" she asked him.

Kukai looked at her questioningly and replied "Sure thing. What's on your mind?" he asked.

"How did you know it was going to be in here?" asked Rima "Why not anywhere else?"

"Now that you mention it…" started Tadase. Everyone stared at Kukai and waited for him to answer, but he simply told them one thing.

"Oh that. I didn't know. It was just a lucky guess." Kukai said with a smile and he laughed a bit too.

Most of the people inside the room sweat dropped but they were used to it. Sometimes Kukai could be so oblivious, but hey, that's what got them this far isn't it? Now that they had the will, they continued to search the house a bit more, just to make sure there were no more clues to be found. Once they were done, they all gathered in the lobby to clear everything out.

"Looks like this is all of it." Said Miki "I took her whip with me too, it brings back bad memories."

"Alright." Said Kairi. "Anything else?"

"Aside from all of Saaya's junk, we cant find anything more." Said Dia with a sigh.

"That's everything we found~desu." Said Su.

"At least we got the will~nya. Now all we need is for Ikuto to find Amu and bring her back~nya." Said Yoru.

"True, now that we have everything, all we need is Ikuto and Amu." Said Utau.

"Don't worry, if there's anyone who can find Hinamori, it would be him." Said Kukai.

"He better, we're all counting on him." Said Rima "It's been days now, since the ball, and we still have no clue as to where she is."

"Let's just wait and believe in him Rima-chan. I'm sure he can do it." Said Nagihiko. Now, they only hoped that Ikuto was getting somewhere, at least a step closer to finding Amu…

Back With Ikuto

As sad as it was, Ikuto has been searching for Amu for the entire day, and yet, he couldn't find her. He was tired now, and not to mention exhausted too. As stubborn as he was, he didn't take the old man's advice, he didn't rest. He kept on looking for her, but still he doesn't even have a clue.

"Darn it Amu, where in the world are you?" muttered Ikuto. He was seriously tired and needed to rest, but he wouldn't listen to that.

Suddenly Ikuto happened to bump into someone, one of the townsfolk perhaps? He didn't even know. "Oh, my deepest apologies sir." A woman's voice was heard.

"No, I should be the one to apologize." Said Ikuto as he turned to the woman. She was an old lady, much like the old man that took him there, and she had one of the kindest looking faces he's seen since he got there.

"Oh dear, kind sir, no need to apologize, but if I may, you look awfully tired." Said the woman as she looked at Ikuto.

"Yes…well…I've been here for hours searching for someone." Said Ikuto with a heavy sigh "And I just can't seem to find her."

"Oh dear…" started the woman and then she smiled at him "Well then, may I offer you a place to stay? Even just for the night, you must get some rest, then you may continue your search in the morning. It's getting rather late."

Ikuto looked around him and noticed that the lady was right, it was truly getting late. "Alright." Agreed Ikuto "Thank you for your kindness."

"Come now, follow me. My home isn't far from here, we'll get there in no time." Said the woman with a smile.

As Ikuto was following the woman to her home, he suddenly felt dizzy and light headed too. He was soon seeing double of some things and he couldn't even feel his legs walking because his whole body started to feel numb.

"Why now of all times? Not yet, I can't drop dead here, not yet…" Ikuto told himself as he tried his hardest to keep on walking forward even though his vision was getting blurrier every step he took.

He soon eard the voice of the woman again and this time she seemed worried. Ikuto's vision was fading so he could only hear her speak. "Sir? Sir are you alright???" asked the woman in her worried tone.

"I'm fi-…" before Ikuto could even finish what he was about to say, he felt everything go numb and his vision went completely black. The last thing he heard was the woman calling his name and the last thought he had was "This must have been how Amu felt when she collapsed in front of me….Amu…." and that's when he felt himself blackout with a THUD.

The Next Morning (Still With Ikuto)

Ikuto woke up and he groaned as he felt pain all over his body. Once he opened his eyes, the first thing he could make out was that he was in a small room and the sun was shining outside through the small window he saw.

"What? Where in the world am I?" Ikuto asked himself silently. Then it all came back to him, the fact that he fainted and blacked out. Question was, where was he now? And how did he get here?

"Mommy! Mommy! The old man is awake!" Ikuto looked up to see a little blonde haired girl. And when it registered to him what the little girl said, he sweat dropped.

"How do I qualify as an old man?" he asked himself with a vein popping on his head.

"Now dear, that's not nice. You shouldn't call him an old man." Ikuto looked up again and saw a woman who looked like she was just a bit younger than Ikuto's own mother, queen Souko. The little girl's mother seemed to be carrying tea with her.

"But mommy…" said the little girl.

"Now Hannah, why don't you go look at what grandma is making in the kitchen?" suggested the girl's mother.

The little girl, who was named Hannah, instantly perked up and smiled "Okay!" then she turned to Ikuto and spoke "Bye mister, see you later." And with that she bolted out the room.

Hannah's mother laughed a bit and then turned her attention to Ikuto. She set the tray with tea down on his bedside table and spoke "It's nice to see that you're awake sir…"

"Ikuto." He told her.

"Well then it's a pleasure to meet you Ikuto-kun. Oh and my name is Kana and you've already met my daughter." Said Kana with a smile.

"The pleasure is mine Kana-san." Said Ikuto "May I ask though…how did I get here?" he asked her.

"Oh, you don't remember? You fainted, and we brought you here. My mother worried so much about it, we called in some of our neighbors to help carry you here, you were quite heavy…." She said with a slight laugh.

"I apologize for all the trouble I've caused you and your family…" said Ikuto silently.

"Oh heavens no, it was no trouble. We're happy to have been able to help you. Are you feeling any better?" asked Kana.

"Yes, very much thank you." Said Ikuto with a smile.

Kana handed Ikuto a cup of tea and then she asked him "Can I ask you something Ikuto-kun?"

"Um…alright." Replied Ikuto.

"Why are you here in our town. We haven't seen you before, and you're definitely not from here, so why? Are you a traveler?" she asked him curiously.

"…" Ikuto stayed silent for a moment and then answered "I'm from a town a bit far from here. I came here…because I was looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?" Asked Kana.

"Yes, she…she went here, at least that's what most say, a few days ago. I'm hoping that she's still here." Said Ikuto "But it looks like finding her would take much longer than I thought."

"May I know who she is?" asked Kana.

"She…in a way, changed me and had a big impact on my family as well. I wouldn't have done this for just anyone, but she's starting to make things complicated for the both of us." Said Ikuto sadly "But I guess it was mostly my fault, I didn't do anything when I saw that she was hurting on the inside."

"She seems like an awfully nice and special girl." Said Kana with a sad smile "No sign of her yet?" she asked Ikuto.

"No, afraid not…" he replied.

"Can you tell me what she looks like? Maybe I can help." Suggested Kana "We've had a lot of visitors in this town recently and I might have seen her."

Ikuto told Kana all he could about Amu. How she looked like, how she acted, her personality and so on. Kana stayed silent and she patiently listened for Ikuto to finish his side of the story. Once Ikuto was done, Kana smiled and spoke.

"You're…a prince aren't you?" she asked him.

Ikuto looked at her shocked, he never told him that information about himself because he didn't think it was of any kind of importance. "Well…yes?" It came out more of a question than an answer.

Kana smiled and spoke again. "She's here, the one you're looking for. She hasn't left yet, she actually thinks you really wouldn't come for her, because she told you not to do so correct?" she said.

"But how did you…?" Ikuto looked at her questioningly.

"I told you didn't I? She's here. To be a bit more specific, she's been working with a friend of mine, they own a bakery." Said Kana "She's a very sweet girl. We told her to stay here with us, but she insisted on staying in an inn and pay for things there."

"Is she…how has she been?" asked Ikuto, he wanted to see her, but before that, he had a few questions of his own.

"She's been better, her first day here was filled with her in distress." Said Kana "She smiled more often now, and it's only been a few days so there's been improvements. Hannah loves it when she comes over here to play with her. She's very good with little children."

"Not a surprise, she does have a little sister." Said Ikuto with a small smile.

"Yes, she did mention that." Said Kana she then faced Ikuto again and asked "Are you going to take her with you?"

"I…yes, I will." Said Ikuto "I'm sorry. But a lot of people are looking for her. All her friends and her little sister have been worried sick and they want her back. She's suffered enough, that's why we can't loose her again."

"Well, Hannah and many others will be disappointed, but don't worry, she belongs there with you and her family." Said Kana with a smile "You came all this was just to look for her, and that's proof enough how much you care for her. She's in good hands."

"Thank you." Said Ikuto with a small smile.

"You need not thank me, I should be the one to thank you. Maybe, after she sees you again, we'll be able to see her with a true genuine smile." Said Kana.

"Will you take me to her?" asked Ikuto.

"Of course I will." Said Kana "I can't leave you here now can I?"

"I just hope she's still even willing to look at me." Muttered Ikuto. As soft as it was, he hoped that Kana wouldn't hear, but she still did.

"I'm sure she would be more than happy, overjoyed even, to be ale to see you again." Said Kana "I'm hoping you'd be the one to break the outer wall that she's placed upon herself."

Ikuto couldn't help but laugh slightly "Outer wall? So she still does that huh? Looks like Amu will forever be Amu." He told her "She always was known for, putting up a tough front."

"Well it shows a lot." Said Kana with a small laugh, she looked at Ikuto and spoke "I'll take these and wash them in the kitchen. Meet me there when you're ready and then I'll take you to her just as I promised."

"Thank you." Ikuto didn't know how many times he's thanked her, but now, that dint really matter to him. Amu was here and he was more than happy to know that.

Kana soon left the room with the tray and empty cups and the tea pot. When she was gone, Ikuto smiled as he looked outside the window and thought "Finally, I'll be seeing Amu again…about time too…Utau is going to kill me if I don't bring her back…" he smiled to himself, before getting ready and walking out the door.

Kana waited for Ikuto and she smiled as she saw her walking to the kitchen. "You're done I see." Said Kana.

"Sorry if I took so long, I was still a bit tied." Apologized Ikuto.

"Not a problem, I have all the time in the world here. Hannah went over to the bakery I was telling you about." Said Kana.

"I see." Now that she mentioned it, Ikuto could find no sign of the blonde, hyperactive little girl.

"Shall we go? She must be waiting for you. She might not admit it, but when she first talked about you, she looked so sad and I could tell that she really did miss you." Said Kana "Come now, we shouldn't be wasting our time here."

"Alright." Said Ikuto with a nod.

Kana led Ikuto to a nearby bakery. He saw that the place looked a bit like Kukai's place, the only difference was the jobs that were offered. He could assume that Amu agreed to work here because it could have reminded her of Kukai's place in their own town.

"Here we are." Said Kana "It isn't crowded today, thank goodness."

"Looks like it's a good business." Said Ikuto with a smile "The people here aren't any different from our own people. Everyone's so active and lively."

"That's how things work around here. Everyone is friendly as well. We highly welcome visitors and tourists." Said Kana.

The two of them went inside the bakery and then immediately, Hannah went to her mother and gave Kana a hug.

"Mommy! Mommy! Amu's here and she played with me!" said Hannah happily.

"That's nice dear." Said Kana with a smile and then she asked her daughter "Hannah, where is Amu right now? Is she here with you?"

"Yes! She's helping me clean up." Said Hannah and then she looked at Ikuto "Hi mister, you look better now." She told Ikuto.

"Hm, yes I am thank you Hannah-chan." Said Ikuto with a smile.

"Mommy, what's he doing here?" asked Hannah.

"He's here to see Amu-chan dear." Said Kana "He's going to take Amu-chan home now."

Immediately, Hannah's smile disappeared. "B-but I don't want her to go!" she soon began to cry a waterfall of tears.

"I know that you don't, but she has to go back to her home now." Explained Kana as she tried to calm the crying child.

"I don't want him to take her! No!" Hannah continued to cry and it didn't look like she was planning to stop any time soon.

"Shhh, it's alright, she can still come to visit us Hannah. We can't make her stay here, she has her own family at home." Said Kana.

"But she has a family here too!" cried Hannah.

"She has a little sister waiting for her Hannah-chan. I'm sure that she misses Amu-chan very much now. You don't want Amu-chan's little sister to be lonely, do you Hannah?" said Kana as she calmed her daughter down.

"No…." said Hannah silently, her cries were now reduced to silent sobs.

"That's my little girl. Amu-chan will come and visit us again, won't she Ikuto-kun?" asked Kana with a smile.

"Of course." Replied Ikuto.

"Why…does she have to go now?" asked Hannah as she turned to face Ikuto.

"I'm sorry Hannah-chan, but Amu has to go back home. A lot of people are worried about her. She's been missing for days now and her friends and family are worried sick. I came here to look for her and bring her back." Said Ikuto.

"Y-you'll come back here right? So she can play with me?" asked Hannah with pleading eyes.

Ikuto smiled at the small child. She was a bit older than Ami, but she was a bit small for her age. "Of course, as soon as we get back, I'll make sure to schedule another time for her to come back here. And we'll even bring her friends."

"Really? You promise?" asked Hannah, she was smiling a bit now. She seemed to like the thought of having more people come over.

"Yes, I promise." Said Ikuto. "So Hannah, will you let me take Amu home for now?" he asked the little girl.

"Okay." She replied with a smile.

"Thank you Ikuto-kun." Said Kana with a warm smile.

"I'm sure Ami would like a new friend." Said Ikuto with a small laugh "And my sister loves kids too."

"Then we can't wait to meet them." Said Kana with a smile.

In the middle of their conversation, they suddenly heard a voice and footsteps approaching. It was an all too familiar voice for Ikuto. "Hannah-chan? Where are you?" Ikuto knew who that voice belonged to.

"Looks like she's here." Said Kana silently.

"…" Ikuto didn't say a word and waited for the footsteps to grow louder.

"Hannah? Are you in he….." Indeed it was her. She stopped dead on her tracks as she saw Ikuto and her eyes widened.

"Amu…" muttered Ikuto in shock. She looked better and healthier at that.

"…" It was truly Amu. She was well to say the least, but she couldn't say a word. She didn't know what to say.

"Amu-chan, he came all the way here to look for you." Said Kana.

"I-Ikuto…" It was hard for her to choke it out, but she finally said it.

"Amu…." Ikuto walked closer to her, but as he did so, she stepped back. "Amu…I just need to talk to you…"

"Come on Hannah, we'll leave them here first okay?" Kana told her daughter. "I'll be at home if you need me." She told Ikuto silently.

"Bye Amu, Bye mister." Said Hannah silently as she was carried by her mother out the nearly empty store.

Amu walked out the bakery as fast as could, and Ikuto followed. He was going to talk to her weather she liked it or not. And he would make her come back with him, he would make her listen. And he's definitely not leaving until she does… "Well, it's now or never…" Ikuto thought as she followed a briskly walking Amu…

Authors Note: Sorry again for the late update you guys, I was packed last week. Anyway, Please Review if you can and tell me what you think. Thanks Guys!!! :D
