Chance Encounters

Chapter 7

Amu lay on the ground tied up. She knew that whatever happened Ikuto would come for her, she just hoped that he wouldn't be too late. Just as she was about to fall asleep she heard a door open and then slam closed. A minute passed before Tadase came into view. "Now my lovely," he sneered, "In a little while we will be leaving for Pairs and then no one will be able to find you. You will be mine!"

Ikuto quietly followed Tadase around town until he found the place where the bastard was holding his future wife captive. Outside the door that Tadase had just went through, he heard the plan that the jerk had. To make things even worse he knew that if he didn't get Amu out soon he would never see his little strawberry ever again. Suddenly, Ikuto ran into the room and knocked out his girl's kidnapper. When he had successfully gotten Amu out of the factory he handed the mad man over to the police then he turned and held Amu as she cried into his chest. She had thought that she would never see her blueberry ever again. When he went to get out his cell phone so that he could call Utau, Amu just latched on tighter, she was scared that he would leave her, so scared that her usual persona of a cool and spicy girl had completely disappeared and in her place was a very distressed young woman.

"Amu, you're alright now. No one can hurt you, I'm right here beloved," Ikuto breathed into her ear as she cried.

That night Ikuto sat on a chair by Amu's bed and watched her sleep.

"Utau stop fussing," Amu said as she sat in front of a mirror while Utau did her hair a month later.

"I would if you would stop fidgeting Amu. I mean even Ami is less nervous and she has to sing during the ceremony," Utau snapped in exasperation.

"I know that, but I can't help it I'm getting married today," Amu said on a sigh her eyes turning dreamy.

"I know," Utau said smiling as she put the finishing touches on Amu's hair and placed the veil on her head.

Amu walked slowly down the aisle and saw Ikuto waiting for her at the altar. As they said their vows to one another Ikuto held her had, and when he was told that he could kiss the bride he lifted the veil and looked into Amu's honey colored eyes as he leaned in and kissed his wife.
