Hey guys I present to you chapter 3!

I currently can't access reviews so it would be better if you'd email me ;-)

Ikuto: Why does everything bad happen to me?

What do you mean? Ah, right the 'news'

Ikuto: Yeah 'the news'

Which bit Amus or yours?

Ikuto: Both

I know I made it depressing... read on to find out Amus news, wait for the next chapter to find out Ikutos (Another cliffhanger I know...)

IKUTOS POV

Amu was stock still, like won't-move-because-I'm-a-statue still.

"Amu what's wrong?"

"Ami, is..."

"Yes, Ami is..."

"Dead."

It took a little while for me to process this, yes I did know Ami, but only from brief meetings. Amu collapsed on the bed, crying. I sat beside her and rubbed her back, this is much more of a shock to her rather than me. Amu and Ami were sisters after all.

It had been a good fifteen minutes before Amu gained control and sat up.

"How'd it happen?" I whispered.

"Well, she had been in the hospital for the last few days and my parents had gone to visit her tonight and that's when it happened, she just, she just..." Amu burst into tears again. Wow, how many tears can someone keep inside of them?

"I'm sorry, Ikuto, this probably doesn't mean a thing to you." She said inbetween sobs. I turned her face towards me and looked her in the eye.

"If it means something to you, it means something to me. Okay?" She hugged me and continued crying. I just lay down on the bed and comforted her, lost for words.

AMUS POV

This is terrible, no it's worse than terrible it's heartbreaking! My little sister Ami, dead? NO! It's too soon! It's too soon...

"No..." I was shaking, I was a wreck.

"Hush..." Ikuto obviously didn't know what to say, but what he was doing was just enough. I don't know how long it was but soon I fell asleep in Ikutos arms.

When I woke up, I noticed that Ikuto had fallen asleep with me, carefully I unwrapped his arms and went to the bathroom, I glanced at my alarm clock, it was 3:00am, but I wasn't tired.

When I looked at the mirror I saw my eyes all red and puffy, my lips cracked and saw and my cheeks glittering with fresh tear drops.

I grabbed the face washer and soaked it in cool water, gently dabbing it on my face. Normally this would make me look normal again, but when you're crying and trying to look good at the same time, it doesn't really tend to work out.

I heard footsteps and saw Ikutos reflection in the mirror. He was stretching and was obviously very tired.

"Did I wake you?"

"No, you know normal people tend to get ready at around 7 to 8 in the morning."

"You know, normal people tend to enter a house through the front door." I replied.

He cocked his head to the side, "True."

"But, then again I'm not normal people, I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto."

"I'm sorry, but who's that?"

"In your mind he is a perverted-cosplayed-cat-freak-neko-guy."

IKUTOS POV

Amu had an odd way of comforting herself, she did this nearly every time she was upset. I wrapped my arm around her waist and took her back to her room.

"You need to sleep and I need to disappear, before I get into trouble."

"I thought you looked for trouble."

"Not tonight I don't." She crawled into bed and I tucked her in, before kissing her goodbye.

"Goodbye Ikuto."

"Goodbye and feel better."

And with that I left, but I couldn't help but feel guilty, this news of her sister dying didn't exactly go well with the news I was going to tell her.
