Hey guys, sorry for posting late. Expect less and less frequent posts because I'm really busy with school and camp coming up.

I hope you enjoy the chapter, it is a little short sorry.

Happy Easter!

OTAUS POV

Where's Ikuto? He was supposed to be here at 9:00pm ready to go but it's already 3:00am...urgh this is frustrating.

"Yo." I turned around and saw Ikuto come in through the back door.

"Where have you been? I was so worried!" I flung myself at him for a hug but he dodged me, and the next five attempts.

"I memorised your hug patterns it won't work." He stated, before sitting down.

"Where were you?" I repeated.

"Amus..." Really Amu? That little brat...

"Her sister died so she needed company." I gaped.

"That's so...sad...I'm guessing you haven't told her yet then." He shook his head.

"You're just going to make it worse for her if you don't tell her!" I shouted.

"How-?"

"Because by not telling her, you're keeping her in the dark!"

"She had a rough day, believe it or not I was planning on telling her, but, then Ami died." I considered this, true telling her would make her feel worse, but that goes the exact same for delaying telling her.

"Anyway I think we should go now, we're incredibly late." Ikuto walked to the door.

"Thanks to you." I muttered, following him.

AMUS POV

I couldn't get back to sleep, for two reasons, 1. Well obviously because my sister died and 2. Ikuto wasn't actually looking for trouble or rebelling, in fact he looked like he had to hurry.

"*sighs* this is too much." I said to the wall.

"Amu-chan? Are you okay?" Three little figures floated above my head, Ran, Miki and Su.

"Not really, but I should be fine." They weren't convinced, I could see it on their tiny faces even in the dark.

"This is going to be a long week." I said, before drifting off to sleep.

IKUTOS POV

Before me stood the man that abandoned Otau, Mum and me when we needed his help the most.

"Hello Ikuto, you seem to be doing well." His voice was similar to what I remembered as a child.

"Hello Dad." I spat it out at him, I wanted him to know how much I despised him for what he did to us.

"Well, that attitude is to be expected after what I did to you." His eyes were filled with regret, but I wasn't buying it yet.

"Sit down and we'll talk about our deal." He said, gesturing towards his dining room table.

After we had sat down, he dove into the conversation about a music school that I could get a scholarship to in France, but my mind wasn't on this opportunity, it was on Amu and how this would affect her.

"So what do you say, Ikuto? Two years of schooling in France and then you're free to do whatever you want to do afterwards."

"Sounds fair." It's better than our original agreement, four years.

"Oh and Otau..." Then he started rambling on about things Otau might want to do in her future, whatever that is, somehow I get the feeling it will involve singing.

"Alright, let's do it!" She said, before shaking Dads hand.

"Ok, so in a week we will leave for France!" Dad exclaimed.

"Yeah, whatever." I said, before getting up and leaving his house, I stepped outside and chara-changed with Yoru, jumping towards my house, letting the darkness engulf me.
