-Amu's P.O.V-

I stared in shock at the blonde haired boy standing beneath the streetlight a few feet away from me and Ikuto.

"Tadase."

I said in a soft whisper and he laughed.

"What was that slut? I couldn't quite hear you."

He said and suddenly I felt like going up to him and knocking him out.

"Tadase, I'll give you one chance to leave before I kick your ass so hard your grandchildren will come out deformed."

I said and heard Ikuto trying to stifle his laughter.

"Oh please, we all know that last time you hit me was just a fluke."

He said with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Then let's prove that this time won't be a fluke."

I said before I calmly walked towards him.

"Amu, are you sure you want to-"

Ikuto started, but I cut him off.

"Yes Ikuto, I'm sure."

I said and he just nodded and watched as I walked up to Tadase and stopped when I was standing in front of him. His eyes narrowed at me when I didn't do anything else.

"What's wrong slut? Lose your confidence?"

He asked and I glared at him.

"Tadase, I swear, if you call me a slut one more time you are going to regret it."

I said calmly though on the inside I was thinking of all the ways I could hurt him and break his body into millions of little pieces. Ikuto had trained me well, very well.

"Oh please, what can you possibly do to me? You're nothing but an ugly little slu-"

Tadase said with his arrogant smirk on his pretty boy face and I balled my hand into a fist and hurled it at his face knocking him back on his ass. He stared up at me in shock, but I didn't stop there. I jumped on him and pinned him down before giving him the beating of his life.

He was bleeding and covered in bruises by the time Ikuto finally decided to pull me off of him.

"That's enough Amu, you've proved your point."

He said and I fought against his hold wanting to hurt Tadase as much as he'd hurt me, but stopped when Ikuto leaned in and whispered in my ear.

"Enough, you are stronger than him and are no longer effected by him."

He said and I calmed down at that and let him lead me away from the blonde haired boy covered in his own blood lying on the street under the streetlight. Halfway back to the hotel I'd calmed down completely and looked around only to realize we weren't heading back to the hotel.

"Umm…Ikuto, where are we going?"

I asked and he simply smirked at me before looking away. I blushed at the look in his eyes. Ikuto led us to a building and we walked inside. We went upstairs and he closed the door after us. I looked around and saw a room with dark blue walls, black ceiling, and blue carpet. A bed, a desk, and a closet empty except for one or two things.

"Ikuto, where are we?"

I asked softly as I walked further into the room, leaving him by the door.

"In my old room."

He said quietly and I turned to look at him.

"Why are we-"

"You should probably text Alice or someone to tell them you're not gonna be coming back to the hotel tonight."

He said and I looked at him confused as I took out my phone and he was suddenly right in front of me. Before I could even say something I felt his lips on mine and his arms wrap around my waist pulling me closer to him. He broke the kiss and started to trail kisses down my neck.

"Text."

Ikuto mumbled against my skin and I shivered before doing as he said and texting Alice to tell her and the others that I wouldn't be coming back to the hotel tonight, though I myself didn't know why.

"Alright, now would you mind explaining what's going on?"

I asked and he lifted his head to stare into my eyes before he grabbed my phone and tossed it into a random corner of the room.

"Ikuto! Why'd you do tha-"

His lips cut me off and I gasped at the amount of emotion behind the kiss. I felt him pushing me back towards something, but didn't know what until I felt the bed hit the back of my calves. He pushed again and I fell back and looked up at him about to yell at him, but froze at the heated look in his midnight blue eyes. I'd seen that look in his eyes many times before while he was training me and it would always result in him cutting the session short and going to take a shower, but he'd always come out cold.

"I…Ikuto."

I whispered as he climbed on the bed with me and started kissing me again. He trailed kisses from my mouth to my neck and stopped.

"Do you have any idea what seeing you fight with that puny king did to me?"

He asked and I shivered as his breath ghosted over my skin.

"N-No."

I stuttered.

"I got to see how much you've changed. I saw you stand up to him and dish out pain that he so rightly deserved. And to be honest, it was kinda hot."

He said and I blushed at the comment before I felt his lips on my skin again. I moaned when he started to nip at my skin. He pushed us back onto the bed so that I was lying on my back with him hovering over me. His arm wrapped around my back and pulled me flush against him and I squeaked in surprise when I felt something hard press against me, but I couldn't deny that I wanted to feel more.

"I-Ikuto wait."

I whispered as he started to kiss further down my body.

"You don't want this?"

He asked and I hesitated with my answer and he started to get off the bed and move away.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to-"

He started as he turned to walk away and I grabbed his wrist to stop him, making him turn to look at me surprised.

"I…"

I started, but trailed off. I blushed as he continued to look at me. I wanted this, I really did, I was just nervous but I couldn't seem to form the words to tell him that. So I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him. Apparently he got the message because he picked me up and set me back down on the bed. He tugged at my shirt and I lifted my arms so he could take it off. He threw it somewhere on the floor, but I didn't pay attention since his mouth captured mine in another heated kiss. I felt his hands roam over my stomach and start to go higher. I gasped when I felt his hands glide over my breasts, then go around and unclasp my bra. Ikuto pulled it off of me gently and let it fall to the ground as well. I brought my arms up and tried to hide myself from him embarrassed, but he grabbed my arms and gently tugged them down.

"Amu, you're beautiful. Don't hide from me, please."

He whispered in my ear and I shivered at the sound of his voice and let him pull my arms away.

I stared up into his eyes as he looked down at me. The heated look in his eyes increased and I blushed again. I felt his hands travel towards my pants, but I stopped him making him look at me confused.

"You're wearing too many clothes."

I whispered and he blinked at me before smiling and ripping off his shirt and throwing it across the room. He started to undo his belt, but was having trouble with it which made me laugh at him. I moved closer and pushed his hands out of the way and undid it myself. He unzipped his pants and pushed them down as I crawled further up the bed. I looked at him and blushed as I got a full view of him since apparently he didn't like to wear boxers. I heard his laughter and lifted my gaze to stare into his eyes.

"It's not nice to stare Amu."

He said and I blushed at having been caught. He climbed onto the bed and hovered over me again. He kissed me and I kissed him back. I gasped when I felt his hands go down to my pants and he plunged his tongue inside my mouth. Our tongues had a fight for dominance and for once I won, but I don't think he was too focused on the battle since I shivered as I felt the cool air of the room against my bare legs. Ikuto pulled back and looked down at me before he kissed down my body until he got to my panties. I shivered as his hot breath ghosted over me. I felt him start to pull my panties down when I heard my cell phone go off, but Ikuto ignored it and continued to take my panties off until I was completely bare to him. I looked down to see what he was doing and caught his eyes. My phone went off again.

"I-Ikuto, my phone."

I said and he smiled at me.

"What phone?"

He asked before I felt something warm slip inside me and I arched my back and cried out in a mix of surprise and pleasure.

-No one's P.O.V-

"Where is she?"

Ben asked the others in the hotel room, but none of them had an answer. Xena and Ikuto had left over two hours ago and they should have been back by now. Suddenly Alice's phone went off and everyone turned to look at her. She flipped it open and shouted.

"Hey! It's a text from Xena!"

She shouted and everyone told her to read it aloud.

"Hey guys, sorry it's so late but me and Ikuto won't be coming back to the hotel. My parents wanted us to stay the night. We'll be back in time for the concert tomorrow."

Alice read out and Ben sighed.

"Just what is she thinking?"

He asked aloud, but no one answered since they knew he wasn't really asking them.

-Ikuto's P.O.V-

I smiled as Amu cried out again. She was mewling and writhing beneath the simplest little touch I gave her and it made me want her that much more. I felt her hands fist in my hair as I licked her bundle of nerves one last time, then she cried out and came on the bed. I glanced up at her to see her lips parted just slightly as she tried to regain her breathing. She had a nice, rosy blush on her face and I smiled as I lapped up her juices before leaning up and kissing her, making her taste herself. I broke away to let her breathe and trailed soft kisses along her neck.

"Ikuto…please."

Amu whispered and I lifted my head to look at her.

"You sure?"

I asked and she nodded. I smiled and kissed her again before pushing her legs apart with my hand and positioning myself at her entrance. I slowly pushed myself inside her until I reached her hymen. I stopped when I felt her tense up.

"Relax Amu."

I whispered in her ear and she shivered before slowly relaxing.

"This is going to hurt, but it will get better, I promise."

I said softly and after she nodded I pushed past her barrier and made her mine. She gasped and I felt her nails dig into my skin and hissed in pain, but I didn't move until Amu relaxed again. I wiped away the tears in her eyes and kissed her softly, apologizing for the pain. She finally opened her eyes again and looked up at me. She caressed my cheek and smiled at me. I took that as a sign it was okay to move and pulled out of her before slowly pushing back in. I couldn't help but moan at the feel of her around me, she was so tight. Amu whimpered and I moved slowly until her whimpers of pain turned to moans of pleasure. I felt her wrap her legs around my waist and I wrapped my arms around her and held her to me in a sitting position as I pushed up into her. She moaned loudly and I smirked against her skin as I felt her hands run through my hair as we continued to move against each other. I picked up the pace and when I thrust up into her at a particular spot I noticed her hands tighten almost painfully in my hair and her back arch. I smirked to myself and thrust up into her again, hitting the spot once more making her scream my name. I was close and from the way her walls kept tightening around me I could tell Amu was too. I picked up the pace and repeatedly hit that one spot and she cried out loudly as she came which made me bury my face in her neck as I came inside her.

When our breathing returned to normal and we came down from our high I gently laid her back down against the pillows and pulled out of her. She whimpered slightly and I kissed the side of her head as I laid down beside her and wrapped my arms around her as I pulled the blanket up over us. She snuggled up against my chest and I heard her whisper something.

"What was that Amu?"

I asked tiredly as I played with a random strand of her hair.

"I said I love you Ikuto."

She whispered against my chest and I smiled before kissing the top of her head.

"I love you too Amu."

I said before pulling her closer to me and falling asleep.

-No one's P.O.V-

Alice, Ben, and the others were all sitting backstage.

"I can't believe this. You go on in five minutes and they're still not here!"

Ben said as he paced back and forth. Amu had been the one who wanted to do the concert in her hometown and she disappears. If she didn't show up they'd have to cancel and that wouldn't end well for any of them.

"Maybe I can try to call her again."

Alice said, but Hikaku cut her off.

"No, if she hasn't answered your first thirty-two calls she won't answer another one."

He said as he leaned against the wall. They all fell into silence, they were all worried about what they were going to do if Amu and Ikuto didn't show up. Chikari's phone suddenly blared to life with Amu's ringtone and she flipped it open and held it to her ear.

"Xena? Where are you?"

She asked and everyone waited for some information about their singer's whereabouts.

-Amu's P.O.V-

"I'm sorry Chi, but I overslept. Ikuto and I are on the way now, we'll be there in the next minute or so, tell the guys to go ahead and get ready."

I said as Ikuto and I ran across the rooftops. He'd transformed with Yoru and I'd transformed with Ran so we could get there faster. This morning had been hell for me, I was still sore from last night, but I wasn't complaining. I hung up my phone and slid it back into my skirt before trying to run faster.

"Here."

Ikuto said holding out his hand and I smiled at him before taking it. He slung me up into his arms bridal style before he took off again, going faster than before. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as I changed back to my normal self.

In no time at all Ikuto landed behind some bushes of where the concert was and set me down on my feet. He changed back, grabbed my hand and we started running towards the back of the stadium so I could join the rest of the band.

"Yumi, you think we can change?"

I asked my little emo friend and she flashed me a rare smile.

"Of course Amu."

She said and she changed with me while Ikuto and I were still running. We reached the stage and the others looked at us surprised.

"Finally! The curtains about to go up, get up here!"

Ben hissed at me and I chuckled nervously as I gave Ikuto a quick kiss before running up the steps and going to my spot in front of the microphone.

"Sorry. You guys know the play list for tonight right?"

I asked and they all nodded.

"Good, then let's have some fun."

I said with a smile just as the curtain came up and the lights shined on us. I grabbed the microphone as my breathing evened out and smiled at the ground.

"Good evening everyone, I hope you guys enjoy yourselves!"

I shouted and they all screamed in response.

"We're The Guardians and we'd like to know what you guys think of us playing here tonight!"

I shouted and the crowd screamed so loud I thought I might go deaf. I loved the way the audience made me feel.

"Well now, that's what I call a warm welcome."

I said and looked at my bandmates to see them smiling in agreement.

"Alright then, what say we get this show on the road?"

I asked as I put the microphone back on the stand. The crowd screamed and shouted and I nodded to Alice and Hikaku to start our first song, the others followed and I tapped my foot to the beat. The crowd fell silent and I smiled as I reached out and pulled the mike stand closer to me and started the first song of the night.

It didn't take long for us to go through all our songs. This concert was purely for the people of my hometown and I was going to perform the best I could. I finished the last song and smiled as the crowd cheered loudly. I waved my hands for them to quiet down and they did instantly. I picked up the microphone and walked towards the edge of the stage.

"This last song is dedicated to a certain fan that I saw an interview of while coming back from the airport."

I explained and the crowd looked at me in shock and the whole stadium was filled with nothing but silence. I glanced back at my band and they were smiling at me, they knew what I was talking about.

"Hyakko, are you out there?"

I asked and the crowd split like the Red Sea and the girl from the T.V interview stood with wide eyes looking at me.

"Come on up here."

I said beckoning for her to come forward. Surprised whispers came from the others in the crowd as Hyakko slowly came forward. I crouched down and reached my hand out. She blinked up at me in surprise and I smiled warmly at her.

"It's alright, I don't bite."

I said and she smiled nervously up at me before taking my hand. I hauled her up onto stage and walked back to the microphone stand with her hand in mine.

"Well Hyakko, I saw your interview and I've got to say, I'm glad you like our music so much."

I said and she blushed at the comment.

"Now, if I remember correctly, you told that interviewer that you'd love for us to play your favorite song am I right?"

I asked and she nodded her head while still looking down at her feet.

"Well, we've played just about every song we have, but I don't think we've played your favorite have we?"

I asked and she shook her head.

"I love that song too, but there's a problem."

I said and she looked up at me confused and the whole stadium was listening closely.

"You see, I've been singing all night and my throat's starting to hurt, so I'm not too sure I can sing this song by myself."

I said and smiled at her.

"Do you think you could help me out?"

I asked and her eyes widened in shock.

"What do you say Hyakko? Care to help me out?"

I asked and she nodded vigorously.

"I can't hear you."

I said cupping a hand around my ear.

"Yes!"

She shouted and I smiled.

"Great. Alice, Hikaku."

I said and they started the intro to Starless Night and the others quickly picked up where they needed to. I handed the microphone in my hand to Hyakko and caught the spare Ikuto tossed me from behind stage. I turned to Hyakko who was staring at me in shock and smiled at her before turning back towards the crowd and starting the song.

"I reached into the sky…"

I sang and turned to look at Hyakko when I noticed she was still frozen. I nudged her slightly and she seemed to snap out of it and sang the next part.

"Omoi wa todokanakute…"

I smiled at the sound of her voice, it was very pretty and was something I could easily harmonize with.

"Chiisaku sora ni kieta

Irototoridori no fuusen…"

Alice and Chikari sang backup while Hyakko and I finished the rest of the song. By the time it ended the crowd was cheering loudly and Hyakko was blushing madly. I wrapped my arm around her neck and smiled at her.

"Well done Hyakko."

I said and she blushed. She hopped off stage and I said goodbye to the crowd with the rest of the band before heading backstage. We walked into the backroom and Ikuto pulled me to his chest as he wrapped his arms around me.

"That was amazing, did you see how the crowd reacted!?"

James said excitedly and I smiled sadly. On the way here I'd thought about a lot of things. The band, my family, my friends, and my relationship with Ikuto and I'd come to a decision that would make me happiest.

"I can't wait until the next gig."

James said and I frowned even more. I had to tell them.

"Guys, I've got something important to tell you."

I said getting everyone's attention.

"What is it Amu?"

Grey asked and I sighed.

"I've had a wonderful time playing with you guys and spending time with you, it's probably been one of the best times in my life."

I said and they all looked at me confused, sensing I had something else to say.

"But, I'm gonna leave."

I said and they all shouted out in surprise.

"What! Why!?"

James shouted louder than anyone.

"Because, I want to spend my life with and enjoy my time with Ikuto. I know he could stay with us while we play, but it wouldn't be the same. I'll stay in touch and everything, but I just won't be a part of the band anymore. You could find a replacement, I know you could. Please understand."

I said looking at all of them pleadingly. They had to understand, this is what I wanted.

"But Amu-"

Chikari started to say, but Grey cut her off.

"It's her decision Chi."

He said before looking at me with a sad smile.

"If that's what will make you happiest then we'll support you."

He said and I smiled at him.

"Just know there's no one in this world who could ever replace you."

He said as he and the others came over and enveloped me in a hug. Ikuto stepped back to give us some room.

"I'll miss you guys."

I said as I stepped back and Ikuto wrapped his arms around my waist again.

"We'll miss you too."

Alice said with tears in her eyes.

"This was our last concert together and I had fun. I'll see you guys when I see you."

I said before turning towards Ikuto and nodding. He smiled at me and took my hand before leading me out the door. Once we were away from the stadium he transformed with Yoru and picked me up bridal style again and took off. I didn't bother asking where we were going. I just wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head against his chest. I hated to leave so suddenly, but I was going to enjoy my life with Ikuto. I might come back to the band, but then again I might just quit all together and enjoy a normal life. Only time would tell.
