Okay. Hi! I got to work on my La corda d'oro fanfic a little while earlier, so that'll be up soon. Other than that, I am sad to announce that Amuto is not starting here (even though the kiss was a good start-up.) So, here we go!

"Mmmmmnnnn…Hah… hah… Amu?" Ikuto asked in confusion.

Meanwhile, Rima was sighing, expecting this, Tadase's mouth was gritted, his eyes full of fire. Yaya was turning around cackling quietly.

She was mumbling something like, "Amu-chiiii likes Ikuto… Blackmail instance!" She continued mumbling that over and over.

"Ikuto-niisan!" Tadase yelled. Then, he rethought it and instead said, "Ikuto-niisan, I see you have won. I apologize for my outburst."

"Very kind-kingly of you to say that for someone who is boiling with anger." Yaya said.

You could feel a death aura coming from Tadase.

"Bakas. Look at Amu." Rima said.

They all looked at Amu who had fainted and was blushing…hard.

"Tch." Ikuto said in annoyance.

"A HA HA HA HA HA! She couldn't hear us!" Tadase yelled.

'It's like a chara change without the crown.' thought Rima and Yaya.

Ikuto sighed. "I guess it's back to square 1." he said.

"Oi. Ikuto-niisan! Wait!" Tadase yelled.

"What kiddy-king?" Ikuto asked.

"I'm the one who hurt her. I should carry her up." Tadase said.

"Fine with me." Ikuto said.

"Thanks." Tadase said as he took her.

"Let's go, Yaya." Rima said.

"Haaaaaaaaiii!" Yaya said.

Ikuto nodded to Tadase as he walked off as well.

"Urgh." Tadase groaned at the sudden weight. He winced and held his wrist in pain.

"Heh. Another pain to wrap and ice." he said.

He picked Amu up with the hand that wasn't hurt, (meaning the right wrist) and plopped her on the couch.

He sighed and smiled at her.

"Now where's the ice?" he asked to himself.

Amu's POV

I woke up in a daze.

'Huh? Was I on the couch before? No. Let's see… I was outside and I had x eggs, then they were healed, and, and, and…

"#$%$#^!" I yelled. I heard the clattering of pots.

"Ikuto?" I asked eagerly.

"No. Just me." Tadase answered.

"Oh." I answered disappointed.

"D-did you remember?" Tadase asked. His face was beet red and he was fidgeting uncomfortably.

"U-Um, yeah." I said. I didn't exactly know what to say either.

"What happened after I fainted?" I asked.

"We were arguing about it and then I apologized and said that Ikuto won. Rima noticed that you fainted and pointed it out to us. Ikuto was going to bring you but I wanted to clear things up with you."

"Wait. You said you won?" I asked.

"Yes." he said.

"What do you mean won?" I asked.

"…"

"WHAT?" I shouted as I stood up.

"Ah. I'm sorry…" I said.

"No. It's okay." Tadase said.

He took in a big breath as if the explanation would take a long time and said, "Remember Sanjo-san's sister and Nikaidou-sensei's wedding?" he asked.

"Yeah." I replied. I had a sinking, murky feeling in my stomach that this wouldn't be good.

"Ikuto was there, and we were still fighting over you, so I said that I wouldn't lose to him and that I would get you." he said.

This angered me. I don't know why but it did. I stood up.

"So, that's what happened." I said, shaking with my face down.

"Yes." Tadase replied grimly.

"I'm only a contest to you? An inanimate object? I thought you cared more than that."

"Amu-chan. I-"

Tears flew down my cheeks.

"I don't want to hear it! At least with Ikuto I'm a thing! He comforts me and makes me feel good! I hate your guts. You've graduated from the kind king all right. Now you're just a king!" I paused.

"But I guess manipulation's what Kiseki taught you." I said.

"Amu-"

"No! Tadase-kun… You're a jerk!" I interrupted.

"Amu. I-"

"I've heard enough! Get out!" I yelled.

"Wait! A-" Tadase tried for like the 14th time.

"You've broke my heart quite enough. Now get out or I'll kick you out myself." I said.

"Fine." Tadase said.

"Goodbye Tadase." I said.

"Goodbye Amu. See you tomorrow." Tadase paused.

"Whenever that is." he said as he gently closed the door.

I ran up to my room where I was greeted by a, "Amu-Chaaaan!" from Ran.

"Ran! Where is everyone else?" I asked.

"Ah…" suddenly Ran's face looked sad. Or was it guilty. All the more reason to ask.

"Ran? Where did they go?" I asked.

"Here." she said.

Dear Amu-chan,

We don't want to trouble you so in place of us, Ran will take our place. We have flown away because we seem to only be causing you trouble. So, you have gotten noticed, you could manipulate their emotions just like that when you were sad. You were a big influence on them. You have learned to unleash your sweet side and your cool side. Holding in your emotions, but also having the courage to let it all out in front of others is very important.

We hope that you can have the absolute courage to be cheerful, but remember us and be who you think is the true you…

From,

Dia, Su, and Mi…

The k and I were faded so you could barely see it.

"Everyone…" I said. I was trembling so much.

"Ran. Than-Ah?" I said.

Ran was fading in and out of my vision.

"Goodbye Amu-chan."

"Goodbye Ran." I said while smiling and crying.

"Amu-chan, after 2 years, you finally smiled a real smile…" Ran's voice trailed off as she disappeared.

I was crying, touching the spot where their eggs were. I finally lost my last Shugo Chara. It was what I wanted. Then why was I so upset? Was it because I missed them? No. Was it because they were with me since elementary school? No.

"Ah." I said as my eyes widened in realization. It was because I was losing everyone and it felt like there was a hole in my chest that kept getting bigger.

And I realized that I needed comfort and forgiveness. That would mean calling over Tadase and Ikuto. That was, after I was done catching up on my past.

In case you read the ANs, here is why Amu needs to catch up on her past. Although not vital and will be revealed in the next chapter, I thought I should tell you all.

Amu is becoming distant to everyone around her, so she's turning to her past people to see if they

Remember her and

Know what changed (Ikuto and Utau will be LAST! Cause that's the mere damage I do.)

So until then, Farewell!
