Ikuto's POV

I saw Amu head butt into a girly looking guy's chest. That alone didn't make me happy, but then Amu gazed up at him as if she knew him. As if she was afraid of him. But what really set me off was the look on the girly guy's face; a smug, obnoxious smirk plastered.

I finally understood Amu was uncomfortable so I walked towards her," Amu do you know him?" I whispered almost inaudibly. Amu kept her frozen state, eyes locked on the ground with a scared appearance.

The girly guy seemed to laugh at Amu," Are you in any relation with Hinamori?" I glared suspiciously at the annoying blonde.

I grabbed Amu's stiff hand and held my head confidently," Yes, Amu is my girlfriend." Amu's head turned to look at me worriedly like I'd just signed my own death wish. "Who are you to ask anyways?"

He stuck out his hand and said," Hotori Tadase. Amu and I used to know each other very well." I stood with my harsh glare still fixed on him. He pulled his hand back and looked back to Amu. "See you again. Amu." He walked away and Amu's hand twitched slightly in mine.

"Amu, what's up? You're kinda concerning me." Amu's hand moved to her face, which was facing the ground, to wipe some tears that were flooding her eyes.

Amu finally lifted her head and forced a smile on her face," He's no one. Let's not talk about him, he's not important." Amu and I proceeded to get ice cream and after much argument we got two cones instead of one. The whole time we were at the park and when I walked her home, Amu looked over her shoulder and in every other direction. Even higher up, like on tops of buildings.

"Paranoid much?" Amu jumped at my accusation and laughed awkwardly.

"Haha yeah r-right, nah I'm just... just um look-king at the scenery around the city! I normally don't pay attention to it and keep my head low." I understood and her reason sounded legit so I stopped worrying and waved bye when we got to her house.

Other than Amu's beauty, she was also cool and fun to tease and a pretty positive person. She was really talkative and acted cute sometimes. If the school saw the real her, she'd probably be more popular than Utau maybe.

Amu's POV

After Ikuto left I rushed into my mom's bedroom where she was folding laundry," Mom, he's out and back and he had the nerve to talk to me! His fae was just as horrible as I remember it from that night! Why is he here? How could he be out so early?!" My mom dropped her basket of clothes and hugged me closely as my tears stained her shirt.

"Amu I don't know why. Maybe you should go to the police station and check it out. Normally they wouldn't give out info like that but considering it's you, they should make an exception. Go with Ikuto maybe." I nodded my head and snuggled closer to my mom until I fell asleep.

I woke up at five am probably because I feel asleep before nine last night. I had six hours until Ikuto came over to... hang out I guess. My mom has to sign off on a sheet for everyday he comes over so Ikuto still has to come over every week day.

I got hurriedly dressed in sweatpants and a baggy hoodie. I put the hood over my head and tucked my hair in it. I pulled on my sneakers and drove to the police station. No way was I gonna let Ikuto know who Tadase was and make him worry more. I pulled my hood off when I got into the building and the policeman at the front desk looked at me strangely. Probably since it was six in the morning.

"Can I help you, miss?" I walked to the desk and sighed.

"There was a case about four teenage boys accused for attempted rape and I was hoping I could get some clarification about their current location. I'm sure they're still locked up but I wanted to make sure."

The policeman eyed me suspiciously," I can't give out that information to just anyone. Who are you?" I hated talking about this.

"If you look for case number three-oh-six-nine, you'll find mention of the name 'Hinamori Amu'. That's me." The policeman went to the back and I heard file cabinets opening and closing. After a few minutes he returned.

"Do you have any proof of your identity?" I nodded.

"I have my driver's license and by the way I have already seen the case file when the case was first opened." I showed him my driver's license and he threw me the file. I sat down in one of the chairs in the lobby and searched threw it.

I muttered under my breath as I read the headlines," Evidence. Rope, duct tape, samples from the scene, clothing. Suspects. Hotori Tadase, Yoshida Hi-" My eyes stopped as they fell on the suspects current status. It had been update just last week.

My breath hitched as I read on still whispering," Three of the four convicted suspects still held at the... No evidence against Hotori Tadase was found at the scene. Only the witness/victim of the crime's testimony was evidence."

I stood up," THAT'S CAUSE HE WAS THE ONE ORDERING THE OTHERS TO DO AWFUL THINGS!" I sunk to the ground," He did hurt me, the only evidence would be my body! He can't be free to go wherever he wants!"

I threw the file back on the desk as I ran to my car crying. My world stopped as I gazed at the figure leaning on my car," I figured you'd go looking for answers. I'm a free man now Amu. And I intend to get what I want." I grabbed my keys from my pocket and walked to the front car door shaking.

I unlocked the door without taking my eyes off him," There's nothing you can do now, Tadase. Not in a police department parking lot." I got in the car and began to slam the door shut.

Tadase's hand caught it and he lowered his head to my ear," Not now. Later." My eyes widened and I slammed the door and drove in Tadase's direction but he jumped out of the way.

"Damn you, Hinamori!" I sped away and ran into my house. I jumped onto my bed and covered my head with the comforter.

Ikuto's POV

I arrived at Amu's house and her mom told me she was asleep so I climbed the stairs to her room. I opened her door and saw Amu spread out across her bed, asleep. Her pink hair had fallen in her face a bit so I brushed it away. I noticed her face looked exhausted.

"Amu, it's time for tutoring. Why're you still asleep?" I shook Amu slightly and she groggily sat up. Her eyes were red and her face was tear-stained.

"I-Ikuto? What're you doing here so early?" I chuckled.

"It's eleven already, Strawberry. Are you feeling okay? You look kind of sick." Amu forced a sleepy smile at me.

"No, I'm fine I just had a nightmare in the middle of night which scared me and I had trouble getting back to sleep." That made sense I suppose.

"But what about the tear-stains on your face?" Amu's hand shot up to her face. She laughed shakily.

"I guess the dream was so scary I cried in my sleep. I'm weird like that." Amu laughed it off so I laughed with her too. "Let me get dressed and ready and I'll meet you downstairs."

I fake pouted," Can't I wait for you right here?" Amu glared at me and I dropped my fake sadness and smirked at her. I closed Amu's door behind me and went to sit down in the living room. Amu must've had a bad nightmare. I wonder what about... Well I shouldn't pry, she may not want to talk about it.

Amu ran down the steps nosily wearing a green short-sleeved shirt with white trimming around the neck and sleeves and a white skirt. A strand of her hair was braided and pulled back with the rest of her hair into a side ponytail. She looked really cute and out of her usual style.

"You're not wearing any black or pink and you're outfit is like the opposite of punk. Don't get me wrong, I like it but I was just wondering why you went for a different style." Amu blushed at my smirk.

"It's not for you! I just wanted to wear something different. I like cute clothes too you know!" She puffed out her cheeks which made me laugh.

I ruffled her hair and squatted down to her height so my face was directly in front of her's ," What do you want to do today, Strawberry?"

"Stop calling me strawberry! And I was hoping to go to this expo at the mall. There's a big thing there where a bunch of people are selling stuff from different countries! I especially wanted to try the food." Amu smiled sweetly at me. I knew she was trying to be sweet so I would agree to go with her.

"Okay, I'll go but on one condition." Amu waited for me to name her poison," You have to hold hands with me the whole time. I don't want you getting lost of being kidnapped." Amu blushed but nodded. I don't think I could ever get tired of that blush.

We got out of Amu's car and she immediately made a move to take off into the mall. I, however, grabbed her hand and yanked her back. I shook my finger at her," Don't forget our deal."

Amu flushed red," Fine but don't slow me down." We were flying past tables so fast I wondered how Amu was looking at all the merchandise. Amu stopped abruptly and I bumped into her back, but she was unfazed as her eyes stayed transfixed on something.

Amu began walking towards a vendor who sold jewelry. Now that I thought about it, Amu never wore jewelry. Unless you count her x-clip. I watched her point at a necklace that looked like a lock and had a silver chain. Next to it was a matching key necklace. I don't understand how she saw them though because it was on the bottom shelf of the glass counter.

Amu batted her eyelashes up at the salesman," How much are these necklaces?"

The man smiled slyly and replied," Ninety including tax for both and fifty including tax for one." My eyes widened; poor Amu wouldn't be able to get it. It's way to expensive.

Amu smiled enthusiastically," Great! I may as well buy both! It's a better deal this way." Amu got out her wallet and I saw she had debit and credit cards and plenty of twenties and fifties.

Amu paid for the necklaces and the man wrapped them up for her. I eyed her amused," Amu, how do you have so much money? You acted like ninety bucks was a bargain."

Amu looked at me like I was stupid," I haven't had any friends for over a year now. You think I just sit at home? No I use my extra time to work. I've earned quite a lot too!" I should've known. Amu wasn't a lazy kind of person. She worked out every morning and took singing lessons, she dedicates a lot of her time to improving herself.

I smirked," I'm impressed. But two questions. One, what are you gonna do with two necklaces? And two, whats your job?"

Amu looked away from my eyes nervously and dug into the bag," Here. You don't have to wear it but I don't need it anyways." Amu handed me the key necklace and I smirked at her. I took off my violin case and opened the chain and clasped it around the handle.

"There," Ami smiled appreciatively," It actually looks nice. Now answer my other question."

Amu looked around quickly," M-m-my job-b?"
