The Missing Pieces

One

Normal POV.

Six years later, and Amu still wasn't used to not having Ran, Miki and Su talking to her.

Who would've known that capturing by the Embryo, the Guardian Characters would disappear? Of course, no one had. It wasn't even an "Oh, this could happen." or a "What if this happens?" or even an "Wouldn't it be weird if this happened?" type of thing. It was more of a grabbed the Embryo, made a wish and they were gone.

She had said goodbye. Everyone had. The chara's said they knew it would happen. That was what the Embryo was, in reality. It was the magic behind the little Guardians, their reason for being. It was what pulled the eggs out of people's hearts, but once it was caught they couldn't stay.

She still missed them. At eighteen, she still felt like she needed them. She was no where close to being the person she wished she was. Looking back on it now, she wished she hadn't made the request she did when she had caught the Embryo that night.

"Look, it's there!" Tadase yelled, pointing above a tree.

The Guardians were in the same park Amu had seen Ikuto playing the violin. They'd caught one of Easter's henchmen, along with Utau, collecting X-Eggs when suddenly the Embryo had appeared out of nowhere it seemed.

It had dragged Ikuto along with it, of course. Amu hadn't seen him in a few weeks, but she'd never admit she was happy to see him. And relieved to see Easter hadn't done anything to him..

He jumped for it first. His tail flicked behind him in excitement, and all the Guardians behind Amu were yelling at her to jump.

So she did. She was already transformed with Ran, and she pushed off the ground with more strength than she'd ever knew she had. She flew past Ikuto, and heard him yell in frustration at the realization that he wasn't going to get the egg first. Then he was right next to her again, smirking at her. He'd landed on a branch and jumped again with more power.

Amu fixed her attention on the glowing Embryo, only feet away from her outstretched hand.

She saw Ikuto's stretched out right next to hers. His was longer, and closer. He was going to get it..

Then the girl heard a sigh. She looked beside her, and his blue eyes locked on hers. The side of his mouth twitched as he brought his hand down, then dropped smoothly onto a top branch of a tree beneath her.

The younger girl's eyes grew wide. Isn't this what he wanted? This is why he did everything he did. This is why they were enemies! And he was just going to give up? That easily?

Her hand hit something cool, and her eyes turned towards the bright light in her hand. She began falling from the sky, clutching the egg in her hands like it was life its self.

She landed in Tadase's arms. She saw everyone around her, but heard their excited screams and exclamations like they were whispers.

"Dear child," A soft, angelic voice spoke in her head. Amu looked down at the silver, shining egg astonished. It talks? "What is it you most desire?"

She continued staring at it. What did she most desire? Well, she wanted a bigger house. She wanted to be rich and famous. She wanted to be older. She wanted to be faster, smarter, cooler, a better cook, more honest, braver, and most of all prettier. She wanted to be able to go back in time. She wanted a lot of things.

But what did she desire?

"I guess I want.." She was speaking back in her mind. She closed her eyes, and in front of her was a little white chara.

She was dressed in a white robe, that flowed past her feet and swayed in non-existent wind. She had long, wavy white hair that fell to her knees, and her blue eyes were so pale they were almost gray.

"Don't guess. Know." The chara smiled. "What will make you happy?"

What would make her happy? Well, what would make her truly happy would be.. "If everyone here, my friends, were happy.."

The chara in her mind nodded, "Then wish it."

Amu wasn't sure if this would be allowed. Wasn't it against the rules to wish for more wishes? "I wish everyone here, Tadase, Nagihiko, Rima, Kukai, Yaya, Kairi, and... Ikuto and Utau, had their one wish fulfilled."

Once again, the white chara smiled. "You're a very kind and generous girl. It shall be done." She bowed, and disappeared. When Amu opened her eyes, the egg had disappeared.

Amu sighed, tossing in her bed. It was 3 in the afternoon, but she'd been thinking about those three charas too much today to feel like doing anything.

Sure, it was the summer after her graduation.

Her parents and sister were gone visiting family for most of it.

She should be out living it up. But she couldn't bring herself to get out of bed today..

Until she heard a knock on her balcony door.

Amu's POV.

I knew who it was. He was the only one who would come to my balcony instead of my front door. Dumb cat. I pulled the covers over my head, hoping he would just leave. I hadn't brushed my hair, let alone brush my teeth, all day. I didn't want to hear his smart comments on it.

He knocked again. Go away, go away, oh please Lord, make him leave.

Another lock. I sighed. Why must God be so cruel? Finally I heard the door push open and a person walk towards my bed.

Someone tugged on my covers. I grunted. He chuckled. I hate him sometimes.

"What do you want, Ikuto?" I kept my blankets over me. I didn't want him to see me like this. He'd been coming over a lot lately. Basically, ever since my 18th birthday, he'd been bothering me a whole lot more.

That little crush I'd had as a child? Yeah, thats gone. Now that I see how annoying he is. Always there, always saying something smart at my expense. It's infuriating.

"Can't a man come to see his friend?" His face was right over mine on the other side of the sheet it sounded like.

"No." Leaveeeeeeeeeeeee I can't breatheeeeeeee!

"We had plans, remember?" He tugged at the blanket again. I decided to slip my foot out and kick him.

I felt his cool hand encircle my ankle before it made contact with his body. Damn. Aren't his reflexes supposed to be non-existent without Yoru?

He yanked it, and I fell out of bed onto the hard floor. I growled as I stood up, pushing some of my matted hair out of my face. I locked eyes with him, glaring.

His bluish purple one's were sparkling with laughter, and his cobalt hair fell into his face as he started to quietly laugh.

Probably at me. "WHAT!" I stomped my foot for added effect, crossing my arms.

He smirked, gaining his compose again. "Well for one, your hair looks disgusting."

I grimaced. "How nice of you." And rolled my eyes as I pushed past him towards my door. I needed to pee so bad.

I felt his eyes on my back as I pushed open the door. "And for two, you have no pants on."

"Right." I took a step towards the bathroom before registering what he had said. Then-

WHATTTT?!? I looked down to see sparkley blue boy-short type underwear covering my lower half.

I managed to scream "PERVERRRRRRRRT!" before slamming the door closed, sprinting to the bathroom, and hopefully before he was able to see the new shade of red my face had just invented.

Press the button if you love me (:
