Her Problem

Chapter 1.

The silence continued as I waited for Tadase to close the door. I mean ya we lived together but it wasn't like we were dating, and I was in a towel for god sake.

"Um Tadase?" I muttered looking pointedly at the door he was still holding while gaping like a fish.

What was his problem? He'd seen me in my bra and underwear before, though he claimed it was a 'accedent'. Sure it was.

"Oh... y-ya sorry." He stuttered

"Thanks"

He left the room I sighed.

I had been living with Tadase for ayear now, since I was 15. It was after we had finaly captured the Embrio. By then I didnt need my wish I was confident in my self and had the best friends ever. Ikuto's step-dad - the leader of Easter - hadn't liked that too much. Acually he hated it, he hated me. Nagihiko and Yaya had pomised me I would be protected since he swore his revenge. But we never thought ......

no we hadn't thought of my family. They were killed a month later. Leaving me alone, Tadase had his own house and invited me to come live with him. It was sweet, but I felt unsure of his reasons behind it. Ya once when I was around 13 we had, had something. He had confesses he loved me a while back and at the time I wasn't sure who I loved. Tadase was always there, but I wasn't the care-free me I was when I was around Ikuto. By the time I was 15 - almost 2 years later - I knew who I loved. Ikuto. And that made things hard.

About a year ago: Amu's Confession

"Your quiet today. Why you wanna hang with me? The little prince to busy?" Ikuto had snickered

"No!" I fumed "Why? do you not want to hang out with me or something?" I probably would of reacted the same under any other sircomstances but I knew I was nervous so that made me blush. Dammit.

He laughed at my reaction. It was probably what he was hoping for.

"Acually.... I-I wanted to talk....to you" Ugh. I was so nervous. I already knew his reaction. He would laugh and probably fall to the ground and when he was finished say something like "No, really what did you wanna talk about" or just escape some how, scared I was having an episode or something.

"Oh." Obiously I had taken him by suprise.

"Ya.." Oh no here comes the silence.

He took my hand and sat down on the nearest bench.

"What about?"

I took in a deep breath. Get it over with.

"Im in love with you" I whispered. Then I tensed. Here it comes..

His finger tips moved to under my chin. ..?...

I felt his stare, I didnt want to look up, he would laugh at my blush. What was I doing he was 17, and thought of me as 'kid'. Ugh. I hated that name.

A minute passes he didnt let go finaly he whispered "Amu-chan"

I looked up. His face was close. Was he going to kiss me? He stared into my eyes and in a quick moment I was in his arms.

"You dont know how long I've wanted to hear that" He whispered in my ear.

My voice was caught in my throat I wasn't prepared for this.

He moved his face in front of mine. "I love you". I also wasn't prepared for my reaction.

I abruptly moved my lips onto his, grasping his hair. When our mouths opened, our tounges connected and sent a strange and unfamiair pulse through me. I wanted more. But he pulled away.

"Um Amu, we are in a park." He chuckled

He was right people were probably staring.

"Them lets go to my house. My parents are gone for the day." I took his hand and lead the way.
