Chapter 17: A Blast From The Past!

A Blast From The Past!

Two whole days. That's about how long it's been since Ikuto and Amu talked to each other. Utau would come to her room, along with Tadase, Kairi and Yoru. Amu had remembered Yoru telling her to just give Ikuto time to think because he needed it. Amu clearly didn't mind giving the guy some time to think but it was killing her inside that he wouldn't even go to her room anymore.

Amu being the oblivious one, didn't know why, again, she even bothered to care. But it was pretty obvious to Utau and the others why and none of there were just saying anything for now.

That night, Amu had been having trouble sleeping, but this time, it wasn't about Ikuto. As she was sleeping she suddenly had a dream. One that jolted her out of her bed with a scream…

Amu was about years younger than she was. She was inside her home with a little baby Ami there, only a few weeks old. She was in Ami's room talking to her baby sister when suddenly, she saw her father come inside.

"Ah Onee-chan seems to be very caring isn't she?" said Tsugumu as he looked at his daughters.

"Otou-san!" cried the little version of Amu as she ran to her dad.

"Now Amu, let's not shout, it could scare Ami ne?" said Tsugumu as he gave Amu a hug.

"Ah." Amu suddenly went to her sister's bedside and started to apologize. "Gomene Ami, I'll be quiet now."

Tsugumu smiled as he saw his daughters, and that's when the scene started to change, things faded and there was another picture…

"No! I want to see Okaa-san!" cried Amu, she was a bit older than the one in the previous scene, but nothing much has changed.

"Amu, Okaa-san…she isn't with us anymore." Said Tsugumu.

Amu didn't listen and kept on telling her father on how much she wanted her mother. "You said, she was just sick! You said those people would make it all better!" she argued.

"…" Tsugumu stayed silent, even he didn't anticipate the sudden death of his wife, Midori.

Again, the scene slowly faded and soon there was an image of Amu in their garden, she was about 11 years old now crying her eyes out. She couldn't take the sudden loss of her mother and she cried and cried for her to come back. It's only been a week since her mother's burial. But she knew that could never happen.

"Oi Hinamori!" Amu looked up, her eyes were bloodshot red. She saw there in front of he a 13 year old Kukai, a 12 year old Nadeshiko, a 12 year old Daichi and a 10 year old Yaya.

"Kukai…." Muttered Amu as they got closer.

"Matte, enough of the crying Hinamori." Said Kukai as he sat beside her and helped wipe her tears.

"B-but Okaa-san is gone! And I'll never see her again!" said Amu as she started to cry again.

"Ah…." Kukai didn't know what to say and he looked over at Nadeshiko for help.

"Amu-chan." She spoke. Amu looked at her best friend and listened "Souma-kun is right, no more crying."

"B-but…" Amu was about to protest when Nadeshiko spoke again.

"Yes I know, Midori-san is no longer here, but you shouldn't cry, or she'll be lonely." Said Nadeshiko with a smile.

"Lonely? How?" asked Amu, to her, her mother was gone forever.
