-Chara Mari: Lonesome Hearts-
-Chapter 4: Mirrored Dreams


Timeline: A few hours after midnight.
Location: A dark moonlit room in a quant French villa.


He sighed as he caressed her smooth skin, silently taking in the beautiful glow of it under the moonlight that filtered in thru the open window, he trailed heated kisses down her delicate neck and over the smooth swell of her uncovered breasts, relishing in the mewls and half words that escaped in rapid succession from her sweet tasting lips. He moaned holding her close to him, basking in her warmth. He loved her and he knew she felt the same for him.


All of a sudden he felt a searing jolt of pain in his head as his brain painfully clawed at his skull trying to break free as he saw the tuning fork resound in his minds eye, the life light faded to almost null in his now vacant dark blue eyes while the killing intent spread thru his body in a cloud of dark purple haze, his consciousness unsuccessfully fighting back for control from its locked cage trapped as he saw the pseudo-persona he had transformed into tear thru her immaculate body with the dark magic infused scythe, he could do no more than watch as her angelic lips that he had kissed not so long ago open in an agonizing scream as blood splattering in every direction of the moonlit room. He saw the bed sheets soaking up as much of the vital life fluid as possible, the rest of it pooling under her limp lifeless body. The spell broke just like it begun; leaving him a broken man clutching her to his chest, her blood mixing with his sorrow-filled tears his right state of mind slowly fading.

The silence of the night was broken as he longingly screamed out her name in the night…


“AMU!!!”


He bolted upright in his bed, his heart racing trying to escape the confines of his chest, he felt a nauseating feeling rush to the back of his throat, and he puffed his cheeks out trying to quell it away. No such luck, he scrambled out of bed tripping over the pristine white bed sheets falling hard on his hands and knees, his palms and kneecaps protested but the urge to empty his stomach was greater. He lifted himself from the floor and again tried making his way towards the bathroom.


Jarring his shoulder on the doorframe his vision became blurry as he collapsed to his hands and knees again, so he decided to crawl on hurt hands and knees the rest of the way to the toilette. Dry heaving a few times his stomach upturned emptying its contents in the porcelain bowl, as images of the bone chilling and very frightening dream flashed all to vividly thru his scarred mind. Propping himself back against the cold tiled wall the cool tile allowing a little respite from the nightmare he just had, he tried getting his uneven breathing under control.


A knock on the door followed by a mellow voice jarred him from his trance, “Master Ikuto, are you alright in there? Do you need me to call a doctor?”


Ikuto whipped a hand down his sweat covered face. “No thank you Marie, I’ll just take a shower, it was bad dream is all.”


The maid that was left to care for Ikuto while his father traveled was not convinced but didn’t want to egg her master on further, decided to leave him be for the time being. She would have a chat with Master Aruto – Ikuto’s father when he got back from a small business trip. Marie sighed as she walked back towards her room, her mind troubled as she heard the shower start.


‘What could have happened to this young man to make him look so haunted?’


Ikuto cowered under the cold water relishing in the way it cooled his sweaty skin. He closed his eyes as he ducked his head under the steady spray of water. The Humpy Key idly clinking against the cross he always wore around his neck while he lathered his hair, he tried auto-convincing himself of the truth. “It was just a dream, all of it was just a dream, and I shall never become that person again, never again…I would never hurt her”


The other thought that came to his mind after that was the image of a very womanly figured Amu; bare naked to his gaze, pressed up against him moaning and squirming under him in his bed…he felt the blood rush through his body to pool between his thighs.


“Great just great, only I can go from a mentally disturbing nightmare aftershock to a fully aroused jerk in the same night.”


He bit his lip barely drawing blood as he propped his forehead against the shower wall and stroking himself seeking release of the heated fantasy of bathing with her, trying to imagine how she would look if he saw her now, surely having matured by now. He imagined her feather light caresses against his heated skin, her lips on his eagerly kissing him, having felt the same void in her heart as him while not having her around for so long.


Ikuto imagined himself purring as he ran his tongue down the delicate arch of her neck while she shuddered and moaned, ‘she was always so ticklish to my touch’, his breath hitched as he came undone. His hips bucking on their own accord against his hand while the evidence of his sinful thoughts and arousal dripped down the wall towards the drain.


He rolled to the side still propped against the tiled wall while he regained his breath his pulse which until a moment ago had been thundering in his ears now slowed to its regular languid pace.


His last thought as he reached for the bar of soap and finished bathing on autopilot, was her beautiful smile that warmed his heart and brought him peace.

----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Timeline: that same morning.
Location: back in Amu’s room in Tokyo, Japan.


She sighed as he caressed her heated skin, her pulse thundering in her ears as she stared into his deep blue eyes mesmerized by his touch, hi s fur soft hair shone in ethereal beauty as the moonlight reflected off of it, she mewled arching her upper body away from the bed as he trailing searing hot kisses down her sensitive neck and over her uncovered breasts, she heard him moan in pleasure while he held her close to him in an intimate embrace, she felt his touch convey his love for her, and she reciprocated equally if not more.


He then shied away from her clutching at his head shaking it side to side. She called out to him, urging him to come back to her.


“Ikuto…”


The next day Amu awoke to a wanton urge to keep dreaming of her blue eyed lover as she woke up to the constant tapping of rain drops against the sliding glass door that led to the balcony in her room. The tapping mirrored her rapid pulse. Having had a lovely dream but it was also some what strange at the same time she stretched yawning while peaking up out the other window from under the covers to visually verify it was raining outside but you could see the first rays of sunlight behind the grassy hills.


‘Good the weather matches my mood today’


She was actually happy she would be leaving with Utau within a day or so to a far off country but first she would have to wait for Utau to come over and explain the situation to her parents to see if they consented to the last minute plans, and then there was Tadase-kun, ‘what on earth am I going to tell him?’ the frustration of having to go thru that type of explanation to him was starting to become a pain in the ass.


"How could you tell a good friend that then confessed his love for a pseudo-persona you become sometimes, that is now currently using you as a target for a stalking campaign that you need to bail for a while, and maybe get some space to think?"


“Listen Tadase-kun, I’m leaving for the next two months, see you then?”


“Hey you know I just wanted to let you know that I’m not going to be around for the next two months?”


Yes it was a lame excuse for a pseudo-breakup on her end, but she had never broken up with someone so it was kind of hard to deal it out to someone she had first actually considered a friend. So what to do, how to tell him? That was actually the reason for her bad mood this morning, even though she had the best time last night with Utau-chan at the mall.Utau had actually bought her more than a handful of things she saw in the displays and had caught her eye.


She went thru the daily routine of fixing her bed, looking in the mirror, brushing her teeth then showering on autopilot while she dedicated her thoughts to how the rest of the day would turn out. She felt at a turning point in her life right now, and she hoped the new turn of events was for the better.


She walked out of the shower toweling her hair off and applying a healthy amount of styling mouse to it. Next went her favorite brand of perfume to her pulse points, she stepped into her underwear and slid her bra into place. Amu decided on a light blue cotton blouse and a black plaid ruffled mini skirt, she topped the look off with a plaid blue miniature set of bows to secure her forelocks back, blue stud earrings, a matching color tinted glass bangle and ring, she pciked out a pair of electric blue strappy sandals, which she would carry downstairs to put on when she left. Last but not least Amu sat at her vanity mirror applying black eyeliner, and mascara, a light layer of blush and a coat of cherry red gloss to her plump lips.


‘Lips that had been kissed by him last night, even if it was in a dream, oh Ikuto where are you?’


She was brought out of her musings by her mothers’ voice, “Amu-chan you have a visitor!”


Amu raced downstairs, her footsteps thudding loudly on the staircase; she was a bit giddy when she saw who had arrived to visit her.


Utau stood out amongst the crowd anywhere she went due to her glorious fashion sense. There she sat lounging on the art deco couch her mother accommodated the living room with a year ago. IL and EL waved at Amu and her charas, while Utau accepted a cup of tea from mama Hinamori.


Ami was currently showing Utau her cosplay costumes of when she went to a music and anime convention downtown last week, as Utau laughed at the funny pictures, and awed at her little sisters’ talent to design clothes.


Amu sat on the other vacant side of the couch next to Utau, the uncertainty rolling off her in waves. Utau placed a loving hand on Ami's and asked her to give her a minute, "Ami-chan these are very beautiful, I’m blown away, awed at your talent. Would you allow me a minute while I speak to your parents and Amu-chan please?"


nodded encouraged by Utau's praising as she gathered her photo albums in her arms and ran up the stairs to her room to give the grown-ups some privacy to speak.


Papa poured himself another cup of tea and brought the cup to his lips savoring the feel of the hot liquid against his lips.


Utau made sure Ami was out of earshot and dropped the bomb on Amu's parents. "I'm taking Amu with me on my international tour withindays time, please allow her to travel with me?"


Amu felt her soul leave her body spontaneously, the little ghost scared Ran and Miki while Su tried coaching the ethereal entity back into her owners’ body, "Hurry Ran, Miki! Amu-chan got shocked to death!"


Miki fanned Amu with her miniscule notepad, "Amu-chan wake up!"


Ran collapsed on her knees on Amu's shoulder, "I knew it she would die of an unpredictable death!" EL patted Amu's head tenderly while mama and papa Hinamori reacted as polar opposites to the news.


Mama clapped her hands excitedly gushing about how proud she was of Amu for knowing how to choose friends that brought her good karma, and papa? Well let’s suffice to say that he cried out in shock and was now running laps around the living room. "Amu-chan you are leaving your family, why? Why are you doing this? First, you had a boy in your room when you were younger; and now a trip around the planet, where did I go wrong as a father?! I’m running away!”


Mama tossed the plastic tray she used to bring tea to the table at papa Hinamori, whacking him on the head stiffly as she approved of said trip, "it's just for a couple of months papa! She is in the age to want to experience the world! Go on Amu-chan chase your dream! Make us proud!" papa cried and ran faster around the plush condo, trying to drain his anxiety.


Utau tried hiding her amusement at the parents’ antics behind her hand and winked at her. “See? I told you it would be easy to speak to them.”


Amu sighed having come back from her shock and nodded approvingly. Although she was rough around the edges Utau had her way of speaking to people and getting her point across. Mama Hinamori squealed as she started ticking off the things Amu would need to take with her on her trip and a few rules for Amu to abide by including calling ever so often and following her good judgment not to do anything brash while on tour with Utau, to which Amu heartedly agreed right on the dot.


After everything was arranged for the upcoming trip including a signed permit from both of Amu's parents, Utau excused herself and gave Amu’s cell phone back to her. “Here Amu-chan I forgot to give it back last night when Kukai and I dropped you off. Now that we are done speaking to your parents comes the hard part.”
---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------

Amu thanked Utau for returning her phone and immediately knew what Utau was referring to as the hard part. ‘Tadase-kun” she murmured while idly stealing a glance at the phone’s outer display,


’25 missed calls, 15 emails, and 4 text messages, from T. Hotori’


She huffed angrily while flipping the phone open, “I think I’ve had enough of this!” she growled while mass deleting all messages from that contact, then flipped her phone closed and rubbed her forehead feeling the on set of a painful headache set in.


Utau saw how worked up she had become and patted her shoulder. “Relax Amu, I’ll drive you there and you can call me to pick you up when you are done. That way you don’t have to deal with the jerk of the prince anymore than you have to.”


Amu sighed feeling guilty but agreed to Utau’s proposal, knowing it could get heavily sentimental if Tadase wanted it to. Utau smiled wanly at her and cocked her head towards her car, winking and silently asking Amu to get a move on, her pigtails swirling this way and that in the early afternoon breeze.


“Let’s go do this then!” Utau said as she quickened her pace making her flirty white cotton stretch dress ride high on her thighs as she walked to her car her tan four inch diva pumps putting her shapely legs on display while her hips swayed to their own rhythm. She extracted her car keys from he designer tanned leather hobo bag and pressed her thumb to the small triangle alarm control, the device chirped twice signaling it was deactivated and both the door to the drivers’ and passengers' side of her velvet purple 2009 Audi R8 V12 TDI concept car folded upward leaving the cars’ cockpit open for perusal for anybody passing by. The car was a small trinket she gifted herself with for her last birthday.


The beige leather trimmings shinned in the sunlight the rain having long passed. The odometer panel along with the radio hummed to life once the sensor key was within reading range and the cars’ ignition self started itself. She demurely lowered herself into the drivers’ plush beige leather bucket seat she ordered custom made, putting on her sunglasses while pulling the door down to its airtight closed position in the process, and called Amu into the car.


“C’mon Amu-chan lets get going love, Tadase’s house is a bit far from here and I want to avoid the traffic if I can, I don’t want to have to deal with any reporters today if I can help it.”


Amu turned around waiving goodbye to her mother and shyly walked over to the overkill of a car Utau owned. “Utau-chan when did you get this thing? What on earth possessed you to buy this monster?!”


Utau smirked and patted the passengers seat, “get in already Amu, you are starting to draw a crowd here…” surely looking around the neighborhood people were crowding around the car, it being very out of league of the standard four door SUV Amu’s parents owned, bought with their hard earned money.


Amu and her charas hopped inside and followed Utau’s lead to pull the door closed, it hissed closed and Utau giggled at Amu’s scared expression. “Now Amu how about we have some fun before you get to his house huh?” Utau shifted the pricey European race car into reverse and quickly followed up with a shift into drive causing the car to drift around the corner and out of sight meanwhile Amu tried adjusting her seatbelt, leaving the small crowd of onlookers in awe. IL and EL assumed their regular seats in the cutout spaces in Utau’s headrest, while Ran, Miki and Su rolled around in the back seat as the car speed around another green light.


Her seatbelt clicked into the security clip and she sighed in relief, the engine purred around another steep turn and into the highway, Utau swerved across four lanes skidded the car around doing a one eighty and joined the rest of the opposite going traffic heading to the southern Tokyo turnpike. She gunned the engine all around the south side of town having it consist of more open launched streets and smiled as she looked at her strawberry blond friend who hand fallen into a subconscious state of mind. She had planned on letting her think about the important chat before taking her to Tadase’s house. Kami-sama knew she needed the time to iron her jumbled thoughts out.


“Amu…” the girl blinked but continued looking out the passenger window, dazed at the magical feeling of watching the world on fast forward, that is what it felt like to ride in a superfast car, the grassy hills becoming less frequent as they got closer to their destination.


“Oi, Amu! Snap out of it girl!” Amu jolted looking back at Utau still kind of dazed. “Yes Utau-chan?”


“Having fun yet?” she asked, the girl nodded in response. Utau laughed at her antics, “I’m sorry to say this but I got some bad news for you.”


Amu frowned and asked “which is?”


Utau slowed the car to a crawl as they drifted around the last turn of their trip and braked leaning over the steering wheel and pointing to the Hitori mansion. “We’re here…”
