APOV

I took a deep breath before raising my hand to knock on the door; then pulled it back. Come on Amu, you can do this. My hand raised again and knocked quickly on the door.

"Coming!" I heard a soft voice call out, a few seconds later I heard a squeal and the locks unlocked, "AMU!" Ami yelped jumping up and wrapping her arms around me in a tight bear hug.

"Ami! Your hair, it looks so pretty." I smiled running a hand through her pin straight hair.

"Thanks, I borrowed your flat iron, that's okay right?" I smiled, she was still worried about me getting mad over being in my room.

"Of course it is, are mom and dad home?"

"They went to the park, they should be back soon. Come on." She grabbed my arm pulling me into the house, "Where were you? What did you do?"

"I was in Florida, in a singing competition."

"Did you win?"

"I won what I went there for." I replied, "But over all I lost."

"Well tell me all about it."

"Well there were like 20 bands, they randomly got eliminated 'til it was the final 10, then they kept cutting people, I was in the top two with my partner, and I lost. But that's okay."

"Why did you go there?"

"To find Ikuto, I doubt you-." I heard the door open and stopped turning toward the door where my mother and father were. Both stood wide eyed in the door way, jaws open.

"Amu!" my dad said, "my little Amu!" he rushed over and hugged me tight.

"Ow. Dad. I cant breath."

"Good! Where did you go? No, no, I don't care. You're home! And your safe!"

"Amu." My mother finally said, "where have you been?" now she sounded angry.

"I-in Florida." I replied, suddenly very glad I didn't bring Ikuto.

"Doing what? Ami go with your father into the kitchen." She sighed, hugged me, and departed into the kitchen.

"Looking for Ikuto, you remember him, right?" she thought for a moment and nodded.

"The boy I found in your room?" I nodded feeling a blush spread across my face, "Why were you looking for him?"

"He was searching for his father, and never came back. I missed him, he said he would eventually. I found someone else who was looking for him and went with-."

"You went with some random stranger! They could have been a serial killer!"

"Mom, it was Utau's old guitarist Hibiki. I was fine. See standing here in one piece." She sighed and nodded.

"Did you find him?"

"I did."

"Invite him to dinner, and this Hibiki girl."

"Erm, mom I should tell you something." She looked up at me, raising and eyebrow, "Hibiki is erm, a boy."

"WHAT!" my dad screamed

"I didn't know…" and I launched into an explanation. He seemed to calm down after awhile, and then my mom spoke.

"Invite them all over to dinner, we're all going out."

"Do you-you don't have to."

"I have the money, and I want to. As a welcome back gift. But do not invite Tadase."

"I wouldn't have." I replied, pulling out my cell and texting Utau to tell everyone the plan.

"Ami, you're coming with your sister and I to the mall. Your father has work to do." My mom grabbed her keys and we all headed out, toward the mall. We shopped and caught up in under an hour and we each had a new dress. My moms a simple black strapless dress, mine a black and grey dress, the top was grey, the skirts black. The top had 3 buttons it fell to my knees. Ami had gotten a purple dress, it was simple and came down to just above her knees.

We got home, changed and were out the door toward a restaurant that I once again couldn't pronounce the name of. When we arrived the whole gang was waiting, Ikuto came and opened the car door for my mother and I, Kukai opened Ami's door, and Hibiki opened my fathers.

We walked in and got seated, my mother and father across from Hibiki and Ikuto, Ami across from me, next to my dad. The other guardians were to my right, Yaya right beside me, Utau was next to my mother.

"So my daughter was with you?" my father asked Hibiki who's eyes widened slightly. Hibiki was wearing a plain purple kimono, her hair was tied up in a neat bun and she wasn't wearing any makeup.

"Yes sir, she was."

"What did you two do together?"

"We sang, practiced songs, went shopping and preformed. We also went out to dinner from time to time." It only now occurred to me that though it only seemed like a few days, we'd been gone at least two months.

"Alright." My dad shut up for the rest of the night. My mom, when I slipped off to the bathroom, bombarded Ikuto with questions. As we walked outside Ikuto pulled me aside.

"Tomorrow I was wondering if you would come with me. I have to perform at a festival, I know Hisoka is as well. Would you come?"

"Will I have to perform?"

"Maybe. Its basically a singing request, we sing whatever. English, French, Spanish, or Japanese. As long as we know it. Or we find someone, will you come?"

"Of course." I smiled softly. He grinned and leaned down to whisper in my ear, or so I thought, he softly bit my ear and then my neck before his lips made contact with mine.

"I love you Amu." He murmured.

"I love you, Ikuto." He scooped me up and kissed me deeply.

"Amu!" he set me down with a sigh, "Lets go!"

"See you tomorrow Ikuto." I smiled and ran over to my mom. A song popped into my head, "Your love your love your love, is my drug." I sung to myself as I slipped into the car.

-Fin!
