Okay, here's a new one. Sorry for making you guys wait. And you get to see my idea of why Utau has a brother complex, and some KukaiXUtau in here if you squint.


Watching him jump away with Yoru and Mamoru following Amu blushed darkly. She had kissed him, twice, once on the cheek so close to the lips and then just on the cheek normally. She had done it, she knows she had, if not she would have fought Rhythm, but she hadn't. Turning she saw all her friends staring at her wide eyed as her blush darkened to a blood red.

"Well...Musashi, Temari, Kusukusu-you guys aren't flirty, right?" She said and the three Charas shook their head in the negative as Amu let a sigh of relief and no one pushed her. Her Charas watched her silently.

Ran, as her Chara for honesty, knew that Amu no longer liked Tadase; she had liked the Prince-his outer character, just as her's was Cool & Spicy-and she liked someone else. Loved someone else. Miki, as her Chara for levelheadedness, had been the first to figure out who Amu truly loved, she knew that Tadase was merely a crush. Su, as her Chara for following her heart's desire and for being also a mother, knew who it was that Amu imagined as the father of her children someday. Dia, her Chara for radiance, knew what it meant to love-wanting what was best for someone even at the price of yourself. When she was an X Chara she had seen Ikuto push Amu away and do things to make her hate him so she'd be safe and knew that Amu kept him safe even if it meant losing her family and friends and getting into huge amounts of trouble because she loved him. They all knew that she did truly love him and that she was just afraid to admit it to herself, but it was right underneath the surface, she just had to accept it.

Glancing over the sisters could see that Rhythm obviously knew now, Daichi seemed to know as well, the other half that had transformed with her were Pepe and Kiseki but Kiseki was a bit of an idiot when it came to tender matters of the heart, especially since she fought him the entire time, and Pepe is a baby, she doesn't think about this kind of stuff.

"Amu." Amu froze as she heard the voice, sneakingly turning she saw Utau behind her. Floating above the angry blonde were Il and El. Il looked like she greatly enjoyed this while El looked worried. Both knew that Amu loved Ikuto, El had a bit of obsession with love and knew it before even doing the transformation, Il was a mean little devil and so had searched for it and found it. Both also knew that Utau didn't truly love Ikuto, not in a romantic way. She just was too scared of losing him and figured if he loved her than he would stay and wouldn't leave like her father did.

"Uh...hi." Amu said sweat dropping, she must have seen her kiss Ikuto. Crap.

"I think it's time to go, don't you agree Ran?" Miki asked her only older sister and the cheerleader nodded before doing a Character Change with Amu and forcing her to run, the three other Charas following her. Glaring Utau was about to chase after her but El did a quick Character Change to get Utau to start ranting about love. When she came out of it Utau found almost everyone gone but the kid with the brown hair and green eyes, who was currently laughing his head off at her.

Blushing darkly Amu walked into the Royal Gardens again, it was Friday, the last day and she'd have a break over the weekend. Plus Musashi was very calm, he wouldn't do anything outrageous, Amu hoped so anyway.

Biting her lip Amu brushed her hair out of her face as she went through the meeting, her hair was held in it's normal sectioned off hair held up. All through the meeting Tadase wouldn't look at her, Rima seemed slightly confused, Nagi smiled gently when he saw her, Kukai snickered, Yaya looked like someone who had a secret, and Kairi seemed like he knew and accepted what was happening.

They all knew.

Amu froze before forcing herself to relax. They couldn't know, they had no way of knowing that hse loved Ikuto. That as long as he existed everything could turn to ash but if he was destroyed and everything remained as it was the world would turn upside down for her. The only time it was brought up was when she was Amulet Beat and Rhythm is flirty.

When the meeting was over Amu stood with a sigh, "I don't think we need to leave, do we Musashi?" The pinkette asked and the samurai shook his head in the negative. "Okay, hit me." She said simply with a smile and with a nod he went for her.

She wears black pants and a black long sleeved shirt, along the arm of the shirt are cut in diamonds at even points revealing red fishnet underneath. Her hair is held in a high ponytail with white cloth just like Kairi's is during Samurai Dream, and so is her white socks and shoes. At her waist, on her left side, she carries two swords, one with a red handle and underneath it one with a blackish-green handle. Along her torso from her right shoulder to her left side is a red rope that holds throwing stars and on the right side of her waist dangles three throwing knives. Her Humpty Lock, around her neck, shines with dark green/blue light.

"Amulet Samurai!" Amu calls and Musashi's echos hers. Opening her honey gold eyes Amu looks around her at her friends.

"How do you feel, Amu-chi?" Yaya asked with a bright smile, Amu looked so cool!

"Like still water." Amu answered in an almost monotone voice.

"Huh?" Everyone looked confused but Kairi who looked slightly embarrassed.

"That's how Musashi talks." The boy explained pushing his glasses up.

"This will be a great time to question her." Nagi whispered and only Rima heard him, "do you mind if we ask some questions, Amu-chan? Since you'll be most honest like this." He said with a laugh and Amu looked at him calmly.

"Ask no questions and I will tell you no lies."

"Uh...right." Nagi said sweat dropping, it might be easier to question her as normal Amu. Like this she was both calm and talked in riddles, at least normally her blush would give her away.

"Don't worry, Musashi is very honest, he just doesn't answer straight. That's what he's doing right now." Kairi said simply shrugging, Musashi was his wanted personality, he knew him like the back of his hand.

"Do you love anyone Amu-chan?" Rima asked simply as Amu blinked slightly.

"To love is to want whatever is best for someone else-even at the expense of yourself. Love is layered and multifaceted. I love many people, the question always is; what kind of love?"

"Do you love me Amu-chan?" Tadase asked blushing darkly as everyone stared at him. Well, that was bold. Amu just gazed at him steadily.

"They say love can be fickle, they are wrong. Liking is fickle. My love for you is Phileo. The love between friends." Amu answered not blushing, not seeming embarrassed. It was the straightest answer she gave, though it wasn't that much of a straight answer.

"Do you love anyone in this room?"

"You all have my Phileo." Amu said, not missing a beat.

"Does anyone here have your...uh...romantic phileo?" Nagihiko asked simply and Amu raised a eyebrow at him.

"There is no such thing."

"Do you love anyone romantically?" Kukai asked holding back his laughter, man this was entertaining.

"To fail to deny is the same as accepting." Amu answered simply, no blush, no hesitancy.

"Who is it. What is their name." Rhythm asked already knowing the answer. Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia's eyes widened in alarm. Amu wasn't ready to admit it yet!

They needn't worry, just as the strawberry headed samurai opened her mouth to answer the transformation was undone and she blushed darkly as she remembered all she had said. So much for Musashi being a safe transformation.


Well, I have to say Musashi is hard for me to get since he is so silent and obviously everyone is going to want Amu to talk. I tried to get that deep, dark, strong personality out though. I'm trying to be as in character as I can be.
