Jewel: I keep making stories...
Amu: Then it means you have a lot of stories in your head.
Jewel: I guess. Ikuto! Stop drinking all the milk in the fridge!
Ikuto: It's not my fault you don't buy enough milk.
Amu: ...I want cake.
Jewel: Only if Ikuto stops drinking all the milk.
Ikuto: Hell no.
Jewel: No cake. I don't own Shugo Chara or their charcters.
~I'm a Nobody?~
Tsukiyomi Ikuto and his band had it all. Fame, fortune, good looks, and pretty much all the women in Japan at their feet. When you're Japan's hottest boy band, that tends to some along with the gig. But hey, everyone needs to get away from their life every once in a while. Especially when you have fans following you everywhere you go or breaking down the door of yours and your bandmates' hotel rooms.
"Come on Kukai... It's just for a day." A blonde whined and glared daggers at the side of his friend's messy brunette hair with his ruby eyes. He continued to stab at his friend's head with his index finger. Kukai growled and shot up from his chair and glared at his friend and bandmate with his emerald eyes.
"No. Why the hell would I go with you?!" He shouted and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. The blonde rolled his eyes and reached for his own bottle on the table he was sitting at.
"Because we both know that Ikuto and Kairi won't do it." He stated simply and took a drink of his water. Kukai couldn't argue with that.
"Do what, exactly Tadase?" They heard a deep voice call from the kitchen entrance. They two younger boys froze and slowly turned towards their blue haired friend, his saphire eyes gave them a suspicious look. Tadase laughed nervously and unintentionally tightened his grip on the plastic bottle in his hands The taller and older boy noticed this and raised an eyebrow.
"Y-Yo! Ikuto!" Kukai shouted, hoping to distract him. The older teen a glare at Kukai, instantly shutting him up and turned back to Tadase.
"Answer the question. What did you want to do with Kukai?" He asked. He and Tadase had a silent staring contest but Tadase ended up sighing in defeat and looking down at the tiles.
"Alright... I was trying to get Kukai to come into town with me." He confessed and braced himself for one of Ikuto's harsh glares and lectures. But they never came. Tadase and Kukai looked at Ikuto, who just had a somewhat surprised expression. But it didn't last long. He quickly regained his bored and hostile look.
"Alright. Let's go." He said and left the kitchen, leaving the two younger teens shocked. Suddenly, they ended up laughing at his sudden change in character.
"I should've asked him first... It would've saed me half an hour of arguing and poking..." Tadase said in between laughs. Kukai nodded and wiped a few tears from his eyes. Their laughter died down as they climbed up the stairs of their mansion to get ready. They passed by their other bandmates door and banged on it.
"Nagi. Get ready. We're heading out." Tadase said and left for his room down the hall. The door flew open to reveal a teen with long purple hair and gold eyes, which looked like they were about to fly out of their sockets.
"...You're kidding, right?" The purple haired teen questioned. Kukai, who had stayed behind, shook his head and grinned at his friend's expression.
"Nope. Now hurry up or we're leaving without you." He said and walked in the opposite direction Tadase went. Nagi couldn't tell whether they were kidding or not but got ready anyways.
They always wore either contacts and wigs or sunglasses with hoodies. They all decided to go with the hoodie and sunglasses but Tadase used contacts instead of sunglasses.
"Alright. You know the rules." Their manager said as his dark blue eyes gave them a stern look. They all rolled their eyes but Ikuto decided to torture his friends.
"I forgot some of them. Can you explain them again Kairi?" He asked innocently, earing glares from his bandmates. Their manager groaned and brushed his dark green eyes from his oval glasses. (A/N: Ages, Ikuto's 19, Kukai's 18, Tadase, Kairi and Nagi 17)
"Honestly Ikuto... Alright. No flirting, taking off your disguises, giving out your names, spliting up, stay in town, keep it simple, and again, no flirting." He ordered and pushed his glasses up. He gave Ikuto a look as he repeated the last one. They groaned and nodded. Ikuto smirked and saluted lazily.
"Okay, okay... Let's just go already." Kukai whined and put his hands behind his head. Kairi gave them a stern look before sighing and waving his hand, motioning for them to leave already. They grinned, Ikuto smirked, at him and left. They got in Ikuto's black sports car, Nagi in front with Tadase and Kukai in the back row.
Hey. Kairi never said anything about taking their sports cars to town.
"I'm surprised that one, Kairi hasn't taken away your keys, and two, your license hasn't been revoked." Tadase commented as Ikuto sped to town.
They decided to live out of town to avoid getting caught by fans every time they walked outside to get the mail or paper. And who would wanna risk having their door broken down by an army of fangirls?
"Just proves how amazing of a driver I am." Ikuto retorted with his signature smirk. Nagi sighed and shook his head as he rubbed his temples.
"Let's get some lunch!" Kukai suggested. All their stomachs answered for them by growling like a lion who had just spotted its next victim. They sweat-dropped and nodded before Ikuto sped to a small cafe on a corner. They adjusted their hoods before walking outside and into the cafe.
"Jewel! Customers!" They heard a teenage girl shout from the back. They waited at the front for a waiter or waitress.
"Welcome to-" The girl in front of them paused and her dark brown eyes eyed them catiously. Her black hair was thrown up into a ponytail carelessly and she wore a white short sleeve button up with a red tie and black pants that flared at the end along with red one inch heels.
"Table for four please." Ikuto said casually, ignoring the akward silence and her questioning looks. Kukai leaned over to Nagi.
"Does she recognize us?" He whispered quiet enough for only him to hear. Nagi swallowed hard and shrugged. Jewel led them to a booth next to the window and continued to look at them suspiciously as she handed them their menues.
"...Can I get your names?" She asked and got out her note pad. They froze for a moment, all except Ikuto who continued to casually look at the menu. "Just for future refrences." Tadase regained his composure and cleared his throat.
"And what would those future refrences be?" He asked, smirking at her challenging glare. She placed both hands on the table and leaned towards him. But for some reason, it was playful, along with her smirk.
"Oh. Just in case a bank or store's robbed or something like that and they ask if anyone suspicious was seen around the area." She teased. They sighed in relief inwardly as the two continued to glare. "And don't say you don't look suspicious. With those sunglasses and hoodie, you'll get looks everywhere you go." She said as soon as Tadase's mouth opened. They sweat-dropped when they realized that she was right.
"Can we order now?" Ikuto asked, preventing his friends from breaking any more of the rules. What rule did they-Tadase-break? Flirting. They may not have noticed it, but he did.
"Not until you take off your sunglasses so I can see you're not criminals or something." She stated and put her pad in her back pocket. They paused for a moment, thinking of what to do next. "People who commit are about to commit a crime aren't stupid enough to take off their disguises, so if you take off yours for a bit, I won't bother you about it anymore." Nagi cleared his throat, drawing her attention to him.
"I'm pretty sure you can't do that." He stated. Her smirk returned, only ten times more evil.
"Hell yeah I can. I'm the manager. So if you wanna eat here, I want you to take off those damn glasses." She said and leaned on the table with one hand.
They were screwed.
"Then I guess we won't eat here." Ikuto retorted and started to get up.
"Then I guess I can report you for suspicious activities." She fired back, causing him to reluctantly sit back down.
Yup. Definitely screwed. Fucked up and thrown in hell.
"...I think we'll make it as long as we keep our hoods up..." Kukai whispered to Ikuto. He growled in frustration and nodded. But their faces would reveal them easily. It wasn't like they had much of a choice. If they got caught, Kairi would either kill them and send them to hell himself, of make their lives like a living hell. Either way, they were going to experience Kairi's wrath once again for breaking his rules.
"...Fine." Ikuto agreed reluctanly. They took off their sunglasses, lucky that Jewel was blocking the entrance to the booth. She raised an eyebrow when they were off. They waited for her reaction.
"See? Was that so hard you retards?" She asked in a mocking tone. Tadase glared at her and the look was returned.
Wait-back up... She didn't recognize them?
Ikuto's eyes widened, along with the others.
"Hey you." Tadase called to her. She growled and felt a vein appear. She hummed in response, not trusting her tongue. "Ever heard of a band called The Rare Four?" He asked. (A/N: I know sucky ass band name but it was the only thing I could think of because of their eyes) She tilted her head to the side.
"What? Who the hell are those nobodies?" She asked and scoffed.
The boys felt as if the whole world just came to a stop. Who the hell were they? They certainly weren't nobodies.
"Wait, so you've never heard of the famous as hell boy band The Rare Four?!" Kukai shouted and shot up. All the girls in the cafe gasped and turned to their table. They scrambled to get their sunglasses back on and shoved Kukai back into his seat. Jewel raised an eyebrow.
"No. Why the hell would I know a shit load of wanna be stars?" She asked, earning even more gasps from the cafe. She turned to them and glared. "Shut the fuck up already! No one was talking to you!" She shouted and waved her arms. They all shot her looks but returned to their own tables. Jewel sighed and ran her hand through her messy ponytail. "Whatever. You guys gonna order?" She asked and got her note pad out again. They ordered some sandwiches and water. She nodded lazily and headed towards the kitchen.
"...She really wasn't kidding..." Tadase mumbled. They all stared at the table, too shocked to say anything.
"...I thought every single girl knew about us..." Kukai said and pressed the palm of his hand to his forehead. They all nodded in agreement.
"Do I really have to Rima?!" A girl's voice whined. Ikuto was suddenly interested in the conversation happening in the booth behind him, along with the rest of his bandmates.
"Yes Amu. Also, what the hell was up with all those fangirls earlier?" Another girl question sounding quite annoyed. The first girl, supposedly Amu, groaned.
"I know right? What were they talking about? The Wierd Four?" She joked.
"The Rare Four Amu... I wonder who they are." The girl named Rima replied. The boys' heads, all except Ikuto's, slammed against the table. They heard Amu giggle.
"Hm... I think I heard them say that they were a boy band..." She said aloud as she tried to recall the past events. For some reason, Ikuto wanted to slam his head into the table now. Rima scoffed.
"Their probably one of those wanna be boy bands who think that the whole world is at their feet." She said.
They wanted to intervine so badly. Ikuto looked as if her was about to get up and slap one of the girls. But Nagi was somehow able to hold him back, even though he was about to do the same. The rest of the bandmates sweat-dropped at their lack of self control.
"Here are your sandwiches." Jewel declared as she walked up with a tray of mouth watering food and their glasses of water. Boys being boys, they all focused on the food, tearing their thoughts away from the conversation happening in the booth next to theirs.
"Oh! Jewel!" Kukai shouted just as she was about to leave. She nodded in his direction, telling him to continue. "How old are you?" He asked with an honestly confused expression. Jewel just stared at him for a while before cracking a small smile.
"I just turned sixteen." She said. Their jaws dropped.
"...Your running a business at the age of sixteen?" Nagi asked, sounding quite interested. She let out a small giggle and nodded, her smile still in place. Tadase liked it better when she was smiling instead of sending him glares every single time they made eye contact.
"Well, my dad's a business man and runs several resturaunt chains. He was a little too busy to take care of this cafe and was about to tear it down until I volunteered to take over." She explained. "I really like this place and I couldn't let it get torn down. I mean, just the atmosphere here is nice. But you should come in when the band preforms live. It's amazing." She said with a soft look as she looked towards the small platform near the back.
"Maybe. When's the next show?" Kukai asked. Jewel thought for a moment as she tapped her chin with her index finger.
"Um... I think tonight. I can go check if you want." She said and motioned towards the kitchen. They all glanced at each other, checking if they had time.
"Sure. We'll be in town all day." Ikuto said lazily. Jewel nodded and left for the kitchen to ask about the schedule.
"Huh. That was a sudden change." Tadase commented and took a sip of his water. They all nodded in agreement and started to eat. Jewel came back out and walked over to their table.
"So yeah. They're playing tonight from seven to ten." She stated. "Oh. And are you guys from out of town or something cause I've never seen your faces around." She asked. They nodded as they finished up.
"Yeah. Just visiting for a day since we're on vacation." Nagi lied and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Jewel frowned.
"Why would you visit such a small town on vacation? Nothing much happens here and trust me, I've lived here my whole life." She stated.
"Just visiting an old friend of ours." Ikuto lied. Jewel looked like she finally understood and nodded.
"Alright. So anything else?" She asked. They shook their heads and gave her a smile. She returned it and gave a small bow. "Thanks for coming to-"
They heard Amu scream, causing Jewel and the boys to rush over to where she was while the rest of the cafe watched. A girl with bubblegum pink hair and a girl with wavy dirty blonde hair had their backs were pressed up against the window and had terrified looks in their gold eyes. There was blood trickling down the pinkette's shin while the blonde had a scratch mark on the back of her hand.
"What the hell happened?!" Jewel shouted as she and the boys helped the girls out of the booth.
"I-I-I don't know... S-Something under..." The pinkette mumbled as she pointed a shaking finger at the table. Suddenly, a figure rushed out and tackled Jewel, causing her to fall back. The boys held the two bleeding girls away from whatever tackled Jewel.
"Why the hell is there a dog on me?!" She shouted and held the large dog back by keeping her hands on the front of its neck, holding it back while not choking it. The large german sheperd growled and continued to reach for her face. Tadase and Kukai rushed to get the dog off of her and managed to get it outside. They helped her up. "Are you two girls alright?" Jewel asked and walked over to the rest of the group.
"Wha... What was up w-with that dog?" The pinkette asked. They guessed it was Amu do to her voice. Jewel sighed and shrugged.
"How the hell should I know? I have a first aid kit in the back, let me go get it." She left for the kitchen again. In seconds, she was back out with a large white case. She treated their wounds and sighed.
"Th-Thanks..." Amu said and gave Jewe a small bow. Jewel smiled and shook her head.
"No problem. You got hurt in my resturaunt and it's the least I can do." She said. Suddenly, a worker walked up to Jewel.
"What are you still doing here? Your shift ended half an hour ago." She asked with her hands on her hips. Their eyes widened as Jewel laughed nervously.
"I was about to leave but I decided to serve these guys before I left." She explained and motioned towards the boy band. The worker shook her head in disappointment.
"Wait... Your shift was already over, but you stayed to serve us?" Nagi asked in disbelief. Jewel smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. I would've felt bad if I just left while more customers came in." She said. "Especially when you're working at the moment Kanari..." She mumbled. Ikuto's cat-like hearing caught this and he smirked. "Whatever. You guys can make it up to me by keeping me company in the park." She said and headed towards the entrance. They all glanced at each other and shrugged.
"Alright. This should be fun." Tadase said and walked outside after Jewel, the rest of his bandmates following.
"I think she meant you two also." Ikuto commented and smirked as he walked outside. Amu and Rima looked at each other and sighed.
"I was hoping no one would notice her talking to all of us." Amu whined. Rima snickered at her best friend's childish behaviour as they followed the rest to the park. The sight that greeted them amazed the boys.
The whole park was empty. Cherry blossoms everywhere. A soft breeze drifted the petals on the path and brought their sweet scent to their noses.
"Who wants to play a quick game of soccer?" Jewel asked with a small smile and brought a soccerball out from a nearby hollow tree. Kukai immediately raised his hand and followed Jewel to an small opening in the grass. Tadase walked behind them while Rima glared at Nagi for some reason, leaving Amu and Ikuto on a bench.
"I've never seen you around town before. What's your name?" Amu asked, trying to end the akward silence between them. Ikuto glanced at her and smirked.
Rules be darned. It wasn't like he was going to ask her out and Kairi wouldn't know.
"Oh? Why the sudden intrest?" He teased and leaned in closer. Amu suddenly shot a glare at him, causing him to pull back out of confusion.
"What? I can't be nice?" She retorted. He just stared at her. How come she wasn't falling for him? Was it the disguise? She scoffed and crossed her arms. "Well sorry for trying to get to know you better. I guess I'll just go find Rima and talk with her and you friend." She stated and got up. Ikuto just watched her jog off towards her friend and Nagi before talking to them.
'...What... the hell was that..?' He thought and ran a hand through his dark locks. Kukai laughed and sat next to him. He decided to take a break from kicking Jewel and Tadase's ass in soccer and just happened to drop in on their conversation.
"And that was a perfect example of why using your punk ass playboy attitude on girls you just met is the worst idea ever." He stated and clapped. Ikuto growled and punched him the shoulder. Kukai pouted at him and rubbed his sore arm. "Don't get mad at me... It's your damn fault." He said. Ikuto tried to punch him again but he dodged just in time.
"Shut the fuck up..." He growled. Kukai laughed and patted him on the back.
"Language..." He heard Amu say. They looked in front of them and found Amu with a raised eyebrow and her arms crossed. Ikuto regained his smirk and leaned back on the bench.
"Oh look. The little princess came back to lecture me on my language." He teased. Kukai shook his head and got up to go play soccer. Amu felt her cheeks heat up for some reason. "Is the tough little princess blushing?" He questioned. She scoffed and turned away from him.
"Whatever. So what were you guys talking about earlier?" She asked as she sat next to him. He flinched inwardly.
"Oh. That damn waitress said that she didn't know anything about the most popular boy band in Japan." He said lazily. Suddenly, he felt an intimidating presence behind him.
"What damn waitress?" Jewel asked from behind him, a murderous glare and grin on her dark expression. Ikuto swallowed the lump in his throat and didn't dare turn around. Amu laughed nervously in the akward situation, wondering what to do.
"Hurry up Jewel! Stop flirting with my friend!" Tadase shouted from where they were playing. Kukai chuckled but both were soon cut off by a soccerball flying towards them. Tadase managed to catch it and playfully glare at Jewel. Everyone turned to Jewel, who wore a smirk and stood up straight from her throw.
"Oh shut it you prick." She said and casually walked back to the two boys.
"...Kairi's going to kill us..." Nagi muttered once he realized that they were breaking a lot of rules. He shrugged and turned back to Rima. "I still don't know why you're glaring at me. I didn't do anything." He argued. Rima laughed and glared at him.
"Yet." She stated as Kukai and Tadase nodded towards Ikuto.
...So their diguises did make them look suspicious... Jewe wasn't lying then.
"Maybe we should head back for a bit and come back when it's time for the show..." He suggested and as they all headed towards the bench. Ikuto nodded. Nagi came over and looked around, checking if everyone was there.
"See ya later... I hope." Jewel said to Tadase, who just winked.
"See ya later girls." Nagi said and followed his friends back to the cafe. Ikuto suddenly stopped, causing the others to.
"...Are you sure you've never heard of The Rare Four?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. The girls groaned and shook their heads.
"No. The more I hear about those nobodies, the more intrest I lose in them." She stated. Amu nodded in agreement and raised an eyebrow at them.
"Oh yeah. We never got your names." She stated. The boys glanced at each other.
"...Well... They don't know us and it doesn't seem like they're all that interested in knowing the band..." Kukai muttered. Nagi sighed and nodded, waiting for Ikuto's confirmation. He reluctantly nodded and they turned to face the girls.
"Hotori Tadase." The guitarist intoduced and smirked at Jewel, who returned a playful glare. Tadase was definitely breaking the no flirting rules.
"I'm Souma Kukai." The drummer said with a thumbs up and grin. At least he wasn't as bad as the others.
"Fujisaki Nagihiko. But you can call me Nagi." He said with a wink towards Rima. She scoffed and looked away. There goes Nagi.
"...Tsukiyomi Ikuto. Your turn." He said casually. Amu huffed and crossed her arms. And Ikuto already broke Kairi's rule the second they ran into the girls.
"Why would we introduce ourselves to a bunch of strangers?" She retorted. Ikuto raised an eyebrow at her.
"Because you just made us." He stated. Jewel laughed.
"She didn't make you. She just said we never got your names. You didn't have to answer." She explained. Tadase cursed under his breath.
"Come on... Please?" He asked and smiled at Jewel. Her cheeks started to heat up but she turned away to hide it. "It's the least you can do for us since we helped you in the cafe." He pried. Jewel's blush deepened.
"...Only if you come to the cafe tonight." She agreed and walked further into the park. They looked at Amu and Rima.
"Then I guess we'll be there too. Don't keep us waiting." Amu said and dragged Rima off in the direction Jewel went. None of them caught it, but Ikuto saw the blush on Amu's cheeks and the wink she gave him.
Oh, he was definitely going.
"...Let's go..." He said and walked towards the cafe. They followed with questioning looks. He just shook his head, silently telling them not to worry about it.
Tonight was definitely going to be interesting. But first, they'd have to get past Kairi and all his damn rules. But he wasn't going to stop Ikuto from seeing a certain pinkette. Oh, Kairi was going to have to use an army to stop him.
...For some reason, he couldn't get that pink haired girl off his mind as he sped through the streets. The others? Tadase had black going through his mind and Nagi had his mind set on a certain blonde. Kukai? Oh, he was thinking of someone. Who was it? Like he'd tell.
~I'm a Nobody?~
Jewel: This was the longest chapter I've ever written. But I might've made a few mistakes here and there so please forgive me!
Ikuto: Yeah, yeah... Are there going to be Amuto moments in the next chapter?
Jewel: Big time.
Amu: I'm going to be OOC, aren't I?
Jewel: You already were in this chapter, by accident. I'll try not to though.
Ikuto: Good. Cause I love Amu just the way she is~.
Amu: Get away you cosplay freak!
Jewel: Please R&R.
