As one knows, most problems in life are caused by it.
Chapter 6: To protect - as the first egg cracks
"He doesn't remember you."
"But, but-"
"Look, Remember the day you left? That was the day he realized that he loved you. He was about to confess. Only to find out that you just vanished like that. Without a notice, a letter. How do you think he would feel?"
"I didn't do it on purpose!"
"That's not the point. The thing is that-"
"I shouldn't have left. I should have written a letter before I go. How stupid can I get?"
"Amu shut up!"
The pink haired girl looked as if she was on the verge of tears. Ikuto sighed and ruffled his hair.
"But that doesn't explain why he forgotten about me."
"I was getting to that when you interrupted."
"Sorry."
Amu tried the calm herself before hearing his explanation.
"At first he went to find some way to contact you. Yet there wasn't any. The thing is that when he asked people about it, all the people he asked said that you moved. He tried to forget you. It succeeded really. His mind had erased all memories of you."
"How, did you know all of this?"

"Yo kiddy king."
The cat hopped to the ground gracefully from the buildings
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto! You stole the humpty lock right?"
"What are you talking about? The lock is with Amu."
"Don't lie you thieving cat. There is no such person as Amu."
"H-i-n-a-m-o-r-i A-m-u, don't you remember her?"
"The person don't exist now give back the lock!"
The blonde lunged at him.

"When I asked one of the guardians they told me that."
Tadase had actually liked, no, loved her? Didn't he say he had liked Amulet Heart? When did he have a change of heart?
"Ikuto, customers nya."
"Right, I'm coming. You can stay at my home for the night."
With that he threw the house keys at her and left the despondent girl to her own thoughts, which wasn't a very good thing to do. Lucky she was rational enough not to do anything rash. She collected herself and continued on with her work.

Ikuto yawned and stretched himself after the long day of work. Apparently there were some idiots who again decide to cause another ruckus in the nightclub. He pressed the doorbell. And waited. And waited. He then jumped onto the balcony and tested the lock. It was opened. He shook his head. She really needed to remember to lock the glass doors that lead to the balcony.
The girl so fine, so forgetful, how can she take care of herself?
He decided it was best to check up on the sleeping girl.
The little one, so precious, one touch can shatter her.
Amu was crying out restlessly in her sleep.
"Ami!"
"Mama, papa wasn't cheating on you!"
The pain she possess, I wish to take away but I couldn't.
He looked sadly at her. His azure eyes stayed focused on her face which was twisting in anger and grief. He wasn't able to take the pain away from her. He knelt down beside the frantic girl and began to caress her hair softly. Amu sighed and moved nearer to the comforting movements Ikuto made with his hands. She had ceased her struggling.
I can't promise to change her past but the future I can.
"I will protect you Amu."
His lips brushed her forehead.
"Forever."
If only she would let me.

"Amu."
"Yes?"
"Will you go out with me?"
"What?!"
"I'm just joking."
"Oh."
"Actually, no I'm not."
"Stop teasing me Ikuto!"

Things are certainly getting interesting as the lock and key starts to draw closer.
A pink egg decorated with hearts started to crack.
And so, a new series have begun.
And so...that marks the end of 'Dirty Dancing Card Series: Heart'
