Chapter 2

"Amu darling, ermm before you run upstairs, would you ermm please come in here,, me and your farther believe you need to explain something to us." Amu's mother Midori shouted as soon as she heard her daughter step through the door.

"Can't I just put my stuff upstairs first" Amu called back.

"NO, GET IN HERE THIS INSTANCE YOUNG LADY!" Amu knew things were bad if her farther, Tsumugu, was calling her 'young lady'. Any other time it was his darling, his baby girl, his little munch kin. What had she done so bad to resort to this?

A Million and one things rushed through her head. Was she late? No. Did she leave her hair iron on? No, cause currently they were being borrowed by Yaya for her dancing show as hers had broke. Was she meant to babysit Ami? No. Ami was going round to her friends that evening.

"Okay what have I done wrong this time-"Amu's train of thought was cut off when she saw a small envelope with her name written on it. But why would this cause so much anger from her parents?

"Oh a letter. From whom I wonder?" Amu thought aloud.

"From a boy." Amu's farther slightly calmer now answered her ponder. "But why would a boy, and an elder boy at that be sending my little munch kin a letter?"

"Well Papa it may be a love letter. Our little Amu is of that age."

"No Mama I will not allow it. Tell this boy Amu you are not to see him, or, or, or to receive any more mail from him."

"Papa, how can I tell this boy when I don't know who it is. I haven't even opened it yet."

"Surely you don't know that many boys!" Amu decided to ignore this statement from her farther."And he was so much older. He looked like a stray. His presentation was so unkempt."

This sent Amu's mind and heart racing. There was only one boy she knew who looked like a stray. Could it be? Could he really have returned?

"Mama, Papa, before I open this may I ask what this boy looked like. I mean hair and eye colour."She just had to ask. If it was him this was the first ounce of news from him in so long.

"Oh, he had dark brownish hair and brown eyes. Why Amu? Is it your boyfriend?" Midori pressed further.

"No... No Mama it's just not who I thought it was." Amu replied fairly discouraged.

"Why don't you open it and see what that gentleman wanted." Midori suggested.

"I think I'll open it later, I've got some homework that I need to attend to first" This wasn't the case Amu had finished her class work early so had moved onto and completed her homework well before the bell went to cease class. In fact she even had time to day dream about...

"Oh okay then. Get it done thoroughly mind. Don't skim it just because you want to read your letter." Midori knew her daughter wouldn't do such a thing but she had to do something to get Amu out of the room. Her motherly instincts kicked in and could sense all that her daughter wanted to do was run upstairs and cry. For what reason she knew not. But it had to be something major for her daughter to show this flicker of discouragement in front of both her parents. She normally never let them see the weak side of her just the strong "Cool and Spicy" Amu Hinamori.

Amu snapped out of her daze. "Hai Mama." And with those parting words Amu ran upstairs threw herself on her bed and cried.

"Ikuto, what are we doing here. Didn't Utau-Chan tell you to" Yoru coughed readying himself for his masterful impression of Utau. "Stay the hell away from Amu. You've caused enough issues as it is. Do you know how hard it has been to fix her? Blah, blah, blah." This gain the initial effect. Ikuto's face that Yoru had seen such turmoil and despair on for so long now twitched with the small hint of a smile. "And in any case yes you may have disguised yourself and waited for a time when only her parents would be here, but wasn't that risky as it was, why this. You know her mother knows what you look like from that time you stayed here. What would've happened if she had recognised you? And what if Amu sees you now? And what-"Ikuto finished Yoru's uncharacteristic rant with a quick flick on the nose.

"Yoru chill. I was just going to check to see if she had read the letter I sent her. If not I can always sneak in and take it back. I don't want Utau made at me and I guess she's right I should wait." Ikuto peered through the balcony doors at the small girl he missed so much. He bent down to see if she still kept the key in the place they had agreed to keep it in case he ever needed it. Yes it was still there.

"Could she have honestly left it there in hope I would return?" Ikuto whispered to himself as he spotted the key. "No Ikuto. Don't be so stupid, she must have just forgotten that it was there that's all."Ikuto had to rationalise this. How could she still be waiting for him after all this time? After all the hurt he caused her. No he had to make himself believe she didn't care otherwise he wouldn't have been able to carry out the mission he had set himself. Retrieve that letter.

Ikuto unlocked the balcony doors and stealthily using his graceful cat motions entered the room. He could see the letter in her hand. This was going to be easy for him and that pleased him. He just wished that he didn't wake her. He didn't know how to explain himself yet. Didn't want to yet. But another part, a bigger part yearned for his princess to awake from her slumber and hold him.

As he bent to retrieve the letter he noticed a damp spot next to her hand that was resting on her pillow. As he looked up into her oval face, he saw those tell tale signs that he knew so well. Those tell tale signs Amu had been crying. A lump rose to his throat. Could she have had already read the letter. Could it be him that had made her cry? He couldn't dwell on it, he had to grasp the letter and go. With a quick smooth movement the letter was in his hand. He looked at the fragile girls sleeping body one last time.

"I will be with you soon my little strawberry." Ikuto smiled. He bent down and gave the sleeping girls flushed cheek one small kiss then silently left the room and the girl, again.
