Chapter 20
Even The Best Of Us Fall
(Amu's POV)
"That's good Ran, stop the chara change here." I slowly lowered to the ground, feeling a heavy weight set in my stomach. I looked around, we had landed in an amusement park, and it was dead quiet. It was sort of eerie as I looked around the deserted place, and my eyes landed on the tea cup ride. My eyes widened as many random sentences ran through my head, they were repeating themselves a lot.
"Now, that's not very nice, little girls shouldn't use such colorful language... Now, now Amu-chan, is that any way to talk to your onii-chan? Yeah, I work for Easter, my step-dad is the owner. Fine, I won't. Starting... now."
These words kept repeating themselves over and over in my head, it made me wince and cover my ears with my hands as tight as I could. "Shut up, shut up…" I muttered, and my charas looked at me worriedly. "Amu-chan! What is it?!" They asked me worriedly, but I could hardly hear them.
A part of me understood the question, yet I couldn't answer them. I could feel quite clearly as the tears stung my eyes, falling down my cheeks in small streams. 'Why? Why do I hear and see him so much?' "Amu?" I heard it again, I'm hallucinating so much, why? I opened my eyes slightly to see a figure running towards me as I fell to my knees, and then face first to the cement.
(Ikuto's POV)
I ran to Amu, surprised that she would be here in the amusement park even after she lost her memories. Ran turned to look at me. "Ah! It's that weird cat boy!" She squeaked, and my eyes narrowed. I kept going kneeling down to see Amu better, I sighed as I looked at her carefully, tears running down her cheeks, falling onto the cement that her cheek rested on.
I reached forward, placing a hand on her shoulder, and she slowly opened her eyes to look at me. Her eyes looked dazed and confused as she stared at me carefully. "It's you… the man who invades my thoughts…" She trailed off, and I felt myself grimace slightly. Then I heard a small sniffle come from her, and I looked to see her tears flowing more so than before. "Why..? Why do I feel like I know you… but I don't!" She sat up now, holding her hands in front of her for support.
" I don't know you at all! But… why…" She trailed off again, holding her head in her hand as she winced, like she touched a tender area of pain. "And…" She looked back at me now. "You know my name. How? Why? Who are you?"
I felt my face remain indifferent as I stared at her, making her cheeks turn a little red. I smirked as I watched this happen, causing her to turn even more red. "My name… is Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I work for Easter too, Amu." I couldn't tell her everything, yet. Maybe I'll get her to fall for my charms, again.
A short flicker of recognition appeared on her face then, and she nodded once. It was a quick bob of her head, a bit too fast to be like she understood. "Easter… I've never seen you there before though…"
I chuckled as I listened to her talk as though she'd been there longer than a day. She tilted her head to the side out of confusion, and then she winced, bringing her hand back to her head. I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. "Headache?"
She opened her mouth to speak, but hesitated, and then she looked away before answering. "Yeah, a bad headache." She muttered, and my eyes narrowed, I could tell see was lying to me. "Well Amu, I'm going to take off. Pleasure speaking with you, see ya."
I stood and winked at her, before turning and getting ready to leave. "Wait…" I turned to look at her far off expression, like she was seeing something that I couldn't. Then she looked up at me just as her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell forward.
I immediately ran to her and lifted her up, swatting away her charas angrily. "Stop it! What are you going to do with Amu-chan?!" They shouted at me, and I rolled my eyes as I lifted Amu into my arms easily, carrying her bridal-style. "I'm taking her to my apartment, it's the only safe place anyway." I muttered, and they kept up their rants for a while, but eventually they quieted down and followed me.
I stared down at Amu, she seemed so small and fragile in my arms, I couldn't help but sigh and hold her closer. "Amu… I promise to get your memories back." I whispered quietly as she clenched onto my shirt with her hand, her head falling closer to my chest.
Heather: Aight! Like I said give me some names!
Nagehiko: Please R&R! And look forward to the next story!
Heather: I love you all very much! I hope you enjoyed this first part!
