Me:: Just in case anyone didn't notice I deleted the author's note I wrote since I'm going to be finishing this fanfic soon~

Ikuto:: I thought you loved me, Csi-chan.

Me:: I do, Ikuto! *hugs*

Amu:: So who are your next victims?

Me:: *glares at Amu*

Amu:: *gulp*

Me:: Just for that... I'm not telling till I'm done but I am writing my ideas down so HA!

Ikuto:: She doesn't own Shugo Chara! This is her own twisted ideas~ Enjoy...

"Through it all I've made my mistakes, I stumble and fall but I mean these words…" – [Sum 41]

Ikuto's P.O.V.:

'I can't believe I acted like that towards her?' Ikuto mentally cursed to himself.

What the hell is wrong with me? Ikuto had been doing so well keeping his emotions under wraps until today that is. I laid stretched out on my bed, already changed out of my wet clothes and into a pair of grey sweatpants and a long-sleeved black shirt.

"Ikuto! Dinner's ready!" My mother's voice called up the stairs.

I hopped off my bed, landing on the heels of my feet and walked downstairs to the dining room.

"So what's for dinner?" I asked, not really caring what answer I got.

"Fish and French fries."

I plopped down, quickly digging into my food; hearing my mother giggling beside me made me stop and look at her. I narrowed my eyes at her that asked, 'What?'

"It's been a while since you've acted like this… I know you haven't been the same since Amu-chan came back…"

I looked back down at my food, losing all interest in my favorite food. Talking about Amu always made me lose interest in whatever I was doing.

"You know… According to Midori, Amu been gaining her memory back…" My mother added.

"What are you trying to say, huh? What? That she'll remember that every time. Every Time! It was me who helped her out. Me who saw every tear fall. Me who stood by her through everything and what do I get for it all?" I couldn't hold back anymore, "N-nothing… I get screwed over… by the girl I'm in love with… and the bratty-king gets her…" I added, lowering my head as wet drops fell from my eyes.

"Amu never meant to hurt you when she came back… you have to understand that her losing her memory wasn't her fault… I'm sure… I'm sure if she remembered…" My mother was interrupted when the phone in the next room rang.

I poked at the rest of my fish that I hadn't scoffed down yet, nibbling on small pieces as my mother rushed into the room.

"Ikuto! Have you seen Amu-chan lately?"

"Y-Yeah… She was at the park when I was coming home hence why I was soaking wet."

M y mother rushed back out of the room and returned almost immediately. The look on her face. I knew right away.

"I'll be right back." I sprang up from my seat and headed for my motorcycle. I slipped the helmet on and sped away down the street. I raced back to the park, hoping she was nearby. Nowhere near the park. I had circled around the park, checking down every corner for her. I parked next to a bus stop, pulling out my phone looking through my contacts until I came to one name in particular.

"Hello. Hotori residence." The gay-prince voice had answered the phone.

"I'll make this quick… Amu's disappeared." I hung up, re-blocking Tadase's number before driving down the road again.

Why did I bother to call the kiddy-king? Oh yeah, because that's who Amu probably wants to find her. I drove past where I had gotten into the accident, I sped away from it until I saw the riverside. I slowed down, parking my bike under the bridge that connected our town to the next town. I was fighting with myself over whether I should keep searching; I was distracted when I heard the sound of sniffling above me. I hadn't saw anyone on the bridge so it surprised me.

"What am I going to do?" The sniffling stopped and a familiar voice cried out.

I bit my lip, silently taking my phone from my sweatpants; surprisingly it was still dry. I should call the kiddy-king again to let him know where to find—

"Why didn't he just tell me? IKUTO, you idiot!" I froze.

I pushed my phone down into my pocket again, moving closer to Amu's voice to the point where it sounded like I was right beneath her; which left me right under the edge of the bridge.

I heard her sob some more; I clenched my fist to resist the temptation to run up there and comfort her.

"I should call him…" Her voice still had the sound of tears spilling from it.

I quietly stood and waited, thinking she meant me that was until…

"Hi Tadase-kun… It's me, Amu. I'm fine… I just forgot to let my mom know—" I backed away, feeling like an idiot again and sped away on my bike the same way I came.

Amu's P.O.V.:

"Hi Tadase-kun… It's me, Amu. I'm fine… I just forgot to let my mom know— wait… Ikuto did…" My voice trailed off when I heard the sound of an engine speeding away.

I ran to the other side of the bridge to see a black motorcycle with a familiar helmet speeding away.

"Amu-chan? Are you still there? Amu-chan?" Tadase-kun's voice erupted over the phone.

"Yeah… I'll t-talk to you later…"

"Wait… Amu! There's something I need to tell you… I… Lulu… we sort of hit it off at this party last night…"

"Yeah, whatever… bye." I hung up, running down the street after Ikuto.

I didn't care about that Tadase had cheated on me; I had to find Ikuto. Wait! I'll call Utau—but she might have some idol business so maybe Kukai…

"Oi, Ikuto… Is that you?" Kukai.

"No, you idiot… don't you check your caller ID?" I asked him, trying not to laugh.

"A-Amu? Sorry about that… Ikuto's mom called and told me you hadn't gone home yet so I thought Ikuto was calling to let me know he found you or something…" He trailed off.

"He did… Can you do me a favor and get him to park I need to talk to him… use any method you can just don't let him know I'm the one waiting for him there, okay?"

"Uh… sure… I'm going to call Souka-san to tell her you're safe."

"Okay." We hung up.

I ran down the street to the park under the tree where Ikuto had lent me his jacket.

Ikuto's P.O.V.:

I was pulling into my garage when my phone buzzed; "Hello." I greeted the caller dully.

"Hey man! Did you find her?" Kukai.

"Uh, sort of… Tadase did."

"Tadase?"

"Yeah"

"Liar."

"W-what?"

"You never call Tadase. Tadase. You call him any nickname you can think of."

BUSTED!

"I'm not in the mood…"

"Well, anyways I need to ask you a favor? I left my soccer ball at the park, do you mind going to get it?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Thanks man! Knew I could count on you!" and just like that he hung up.

"Dammit Kukai! Fine! I'll get your damn ball… you better pay me though." I drove off towards the park.

I reached the park just as the sun was setting over the horizon; I parked my bike against the soccer goal before setting my helmet down on the seat of my bike and glancing around for the idiot's soccer ball. No sign of it. I turn around to see if maybe he had kicked it over the goal and…

"A-Amu…?" Her name came out before I could stop myself.

I watched as she crossed the grassy patch until she stopped right in front of me and then I looked away.

"…Ikuto…" Her voice was low and serious.

I looked down at her to see her staring straight at me. Amber eyes met mine.

"Why, Ikuto?" Her question caught me off guard.

"W-what do you mean?" I tried to keep my cool.

"Why didn't you tell me anything?"

"Would you believe me?" I muttered.

She bit her bottom lip before she scoffed, "That's not a reason…"

I chuckled which caused her to start laughing. We laugh for a bit before I stepped back. She stopped and stared at me confused.

Me:: So what do you think will happen? ^^ Hmmm~
