It's been three years to the day since Amu's death, as some put it, or her disappearance, as others put it.

Ikuto is in his new apartment living room, sitting on the couch watching the news like every other day. However, what makes this day different is the beam of light shooting down from the sky in the middle of the night. It lands in the main park Ikuto goes to in the mornings. The light is a mixture of black, white, purple, red, yellow, blue and green. The colours never mix they float around each other in a strange pattern. Ikuto sees all of this captured on T.V.

The phone blares and pulls Ikuto attention away, regrettably.

"Ikuto, are you watching this?" His sister exclaimed.

Ikuto hummed his answer. Even though it was eleven at night, Ikuto was determined to go and see this light. He grabbed his coat, but forgot he was on the phone until Utau yelled.

"Ikuto?" Utau had to scream into the phone.

"Yeah?" Ikuto answered.

"You're going aren't you?" Utau asked.

"Do you really have to ask?" Ikuto stated and then hung up. He and his sister rarely talk, but she checks up on his frequently. Whenever he would ask why she even comes she would simply say that Amu would be upset to see them fight. He would then sigh and tell Utau that they don't fight, but she doesn't talk after that. She just comes the next day and they repeat the routine.

Ikuto raced out of the apartment and then down the hall toward the elevator. He was on the twelfth floor. He got to the elevator and swore. If this moment wasn't so important he would have turned around when he saw the girl standing in front of the elevator.

He shook his head violently and the girl vanished. He was sent to a therapist after Amu's accident because he continuously saw Amu when she really wasn't there or, as he told his therapist, a girl that looked identical to someone dear to him.

After Amu's disappearance/ death, all supernatural powers vanished. It confused everyone, but then the King who became an ordinary old man, filled everyone in.

Amu was the reincarnation of the King and Doctor's older sister. Their older sister created emotions and the elements. She was considered the greatest supernatural of their time. The Doctor, however, was jealous and placed a curse on her that would force her to continuously destroy herself and her loved ones.

The King wrote the book for her so she could save herself, but she died before it was finished, so he kept it for her in case she returned.

Ikuto remembered this as he stood in the elevator waiting. The elevator binged and brought Ikuto to the present. He stepped out of the elevator and walked out of the building. He had about five blocks to walk and right where he was standing he could see the beam of light, it was pulsing some kind of energy now.

The wind blew and it seemed to talk to Ikuto, but he shook his head.

"Ikuto." The wind breathed.

Ikuto turned into the wind. He saw his sister come out from behind a tree.

"The powers are back." Utau stated and then looked towards the beam of light.

Ikuto couldn't just stand there. He ran towards the park that used to be the school grounds, but a year after Amu's disappearance/ death the area flourished rapidly. It astonished many scientists and biologists. They spent another year trying to figure out why the baron area suddenly was filled with life. None of them could figure it out and no one who saw Amu's incident was willing to tell them what really happened.

Ikuto ran to the park. He was there faster than he expected, but he wasn't complaining. He walked towards the beam as it vanished, but something almost see-through appeared and turned towards Ikuto. The girl cried a little, but she smiled brightly.

"Ikuto." She sang with a smile.

Ikuto ran at her for a hug, but he ran through her. She sighed and turned around to see him. He was shocked and deeply saddened.

"The title of the book." Ikuto started.

"I know, it didn't say 'Death' or 'Survival'." The girl sighed.

"The King was confused." Ikuto stated.

The girl just smiled.

"It's time to go." She sighed as she looked up to the sky at something unseen.

"The powers are back." Ikuto stated quickly.

"It worked, then." The girl smiled.

"When is Amu coming back?" Ikuto asked the girl, but what he really wanted to know was if she was coming back at all. He realized that this girl wasn't Amu. Everything about her was Amu, but her eyes were feline.

The girl looked at Ikuto and then showed Ikuto her hand. There wasn't anything there.

"I have a message from her." The girl sighed, "I wish you luck."

A white envelope appeared in her outstretched hand and then the sound of bells filled the air. He took the envelope as her hand faded.

"Don't forget, Ikuto." The girl sang happily, "We are all parts of Amu, like a puzzle."

The girl vanished and left Ikuto on the ground confused. There was a flash of light. It was so bright Ikuto could hardly see what it was, but he caught glimpses of the person.

"Leave, Ikuto." She stated quickly. "I don't want you to get hurt."

The light and the beloved girl vanished. Ikuto got up and ran away. The beam hit the earth again. There was an explosion and then seven colours shot away to various places. The seven colours were: white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. It astonished Ikuto, but he remembered he had to leave.

Ikuto walked back to his apartment, but he was clenching the envelope for dear life. None of this answered anything. Was Amu dead or alive? Ikuto was certain he saw her in the bright flash. He wasn't sure if he should tell anyone, but something told him, that they wouldn't believe him.

Ikuto sighed as he walked into his apartment building. Utau was gone, but Ikuto hardly paid any attention as he walked on to the elevator and pressed the button for floor 13.
