Amu's point of view
"What!" I asked, eyes wide in shock. I felt the rush of blood, and I knew I was blushing.
"You're in love with him!" Tenmari said excitedly. She squealed a little and clapped her hands together.
"What on earth are you talking about? I am not in love with Nagi!" I said sternly. Tenmari gave me an odd look.
"Are you sure?" she said teasingly. I felt my blush get darker.
"Y-yes!, what gave you that idea?" I asked. She smiled.
"Well, for one, you are always around him. For two, you're upset that he lied to you. For three, you want to share things with him that you can't share with anyone else. And for four, you blush and sigh whenever you talk to him, about him, or his name is even mentioned." She explained.
"Okay the first three are true," I admitted, "but not the blushing or sighing when ever I talk about him!"
"Yes you do!" she giggled. I glared at her. She knew way too much about me. Yes I am in love with Nagi, but I didn't think it would show!
"Whatever..." I said blushing harder and looking away. I hear Tenmari giggle. She floated closer to me and hugged me.
"It's okay Amu-chan! Just say it out loud and I bet you'll feel a lot better!" she said cheerfully. She stopped hugging me and stared at me patiently. I stuttered and fumbled with my hands a little.
"I..." I whispered. I took a deep breath. "I lo-love..." It was so hard to say it out loud. If I said it out loud, then I would have to accept that I was willing to let Nagi accept me or reject me.
The acceptance didn't scare me, it was the rejection that I was afraid of. What if he didn't feel the same way? What if he never wanted to be my friend again? I pulled my hair a bit while these questions ran through my mind. I felt a warm hand being placed on my own. I looked up to see Tenmari smiling at me.
"It's okay Amu-chan, you can do it." she said gently while still smiling. I smiled back.
"I am in love with-" My sentence was cut of by a sharp feeling through my body. A wave of depression seemed to pass through me. I choked and grabbed my chest.
"Amu-chan! You felt it too? There's an X-egg nearby." Tenmari said helping me up. I had no idea that's what it felt like to sense an X-egg. Maybe I should stop expecting the girls to search for them then. I wouldn't want to have to purposely go looking for that feeling.
"Let's go!" Kiseki said as we all raced out of the garden. We found the X-egg in the park. The feeling got stronger as we got closer to the X-egg.
"Muri... muri... muri..." it chanted. "MURI!" it screamed at it shot dark energy towards us.
Dun dun dun dun...
