Chapter 1 It's Not My Fault

Amu's POV

I sighed as I made my way home. The wind was blowing gently and I shivered slightly. It's cold. I thought stuffing my hands deeper into my pocket.

"Let's hurry," I told my charas and ran a little ahead.

"In a hurry perverted kid?" I jumped at the voice and glared up at the blue haired boy sitting on top of the brick wall.

"It's freezing out here," I growled. "I just don't want to be caught out in the cold. I'm not an alley cat." Ikuto laughed and jumped down from the wall.

"Meow," He said smirking at me. "That's the only reason you're hurrying home?" He asked.

"Yes," I told him annoyed. "Now if you excuse me I'm leaving." I turned and continued walking again but annoyingly Ikuto was at my side.

"You're really interesting perverted kid," He told me. "You never want to hang around with me." I ignored him and continued walking. "Though you do seem to stay with me when I happen to play my violin." I blushed and walked even faster.

"Th-That's because you're not talking," I told him. "If you shut your mouth every once in a while I might hang around you more." Even as I was saying that I knew I was lying, at least about the violin. I loved when he played his violin. It was so pretty and it seemed like the one time Ikuto was every happy.

"Your ears are turning red," Ikuto commented draping his arm over my shoulders. I glared at him again feeling my face turn red too.

"Get off of me," I growled. He smirked and pulled me closer. This is why I don't like hanging around you. I thought angrily. I stared at my feet wondering if I should push him away.

"Here," I blushed even more as I felt him pull a hat over my head.

"Where did that come from?" I asked angrily.

"I was going through my old stuff and I found it," He replied smirking even more. If that smirk got any bigger I swear I could kill him.

"I don't want it," I muttered about to pull it off. Of course the idiot simply pulled it back down over my ears again.

"I want you to have it," He whispered in my ear. My face was pure red by then.

"Stop!" I yelled angrily pushing him away. When I pushed him he fell backwards and slipped on the ice. I watched shocked as he hit his head on the sidewalk.

"Ikuto nyan!" Yoru cried flying over to him. I fell onto my knees feeling ashamed.

"Ikuto are you okay?" I asked. "Hey Ikuto?" I poked him in the face and he simply moaned.

"Look what you did nyan!" Yoru said angrily. I glared at him.

"It was Ikuto's fault for messing with me!" I told him fumbling to get my phone out of my pocket. I tossed it to Ran.

"Call Utau!" I ordered. Miki and Ran opened it and stared at the phone.

"Is she on speed dial?" Miki asked.

"Seven," I replied as Su flew over to look at Ikuto.

"Oh I think he's unconscious desu," Su told me. Yoru flew over to him looking beyond worried.

"I can see that nyan!" Yoru yelled angrily. "Is he okay nyan?" Su flew over to his head and looked around.

"He isn't bleeding desu," She replied. I nodded and gently slipped my arm under his shoulders and lifted him up. I blushed as his head fell against my shoulder.

"WHAT?!" I cringed as I heard Utau yell. I glanced over at Miki and Ran.

"He's okay we think," Ran said trying to calm her down. "But he's unconscious so we think you should-"

"I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!" Utau yelled again. "AND TELL HINAMORI AMU SHE'S DEAD!" I cringed again and looked over at Ran and Miki nervously.

"Utau-chan says-" Ran began.

"I think she heard," Miki told Ran dryly. I gulped and looked down at Ikuto.

"Wake up," I said shaking his shoulder. "So when your psycho sister gets here you can protect me."

Sure enough the moment Utau got there she chewed me out for letting Ikuto hit his head. Then she chewed me out for being with him in the first place. Then when we finally got Ikuto back to her house she chewed me out for helping her get him up the stairs. I sighed as I fell into a chair next to the bed.

"Can I do nothing right?" I wondered hanging my head in shame.

"Maybe Utau-chan just likes yelling," Ran suggested. "I bet she isn't mad at you at-"

"I'm furious at her!" I jumped as Utau walked back into the room glaring at me.

"It wasn't my fault," I told her. "Ikuto was-" I stopped abruptly as she glared at me.

"Don't. Blame. Him," She growled. I gulped. She's going to kill me. I thought sinking into the chair.

"It was my fault," I muttered. She smiled.

"Remember that," She said turning away again. "I'm going to go make Ikuto some soup." I sighed in relief as she walked out of the room.

"Ikuto nyan!" I looked up in surprise as Yoru shot over to Ikuto. His eyes flickered open.
