Welcome to the sequal to Three Hearts, One Broken! I'm very excited about this sequal, as I hope you are too! If you're a new reader, i'm not going to ask you to go read all 18 chapters before you read this, so I hope I can explain everything going on in the characters lives! :)
Please do review, i'm hoping I can beat my record of 76 reviews. Don't be afraid to help me improve my writing. Okay, time to read. Utau, disclaimer.
Utau: DeaNihptus does not own Shugo Chara! :D
"I love you, Amu." Ikuto said again, the twentieth time that day.
"Again!" She urged, squeezing her boyfriend of a month's hand harder.
"Amu, I tell you thirty times every day. It's been about a month. 30 multiplied by 30 is 900. 900 times, Amu! Do you really need me to say it more?" He laughed. Amu stared at him indignantly, and then laughed with him.
"I suppose not, but hearing it really turns me on." She said playfully, moving herself onto his lap. They were alone in her room, sitting on her bed, but they both knew that Ami came in every seven minutes to check on them. In fact, they were so clever that when they noticed this pattern, they used it to their advantage. "7 minutes, 15 seconds. Time to separate." Amu sighed. She didn't want to part of Ikuto, even if it was for a few seconds and only a few feet. That week and a half she had hated him seemed like an eternity. An eternity she would never get back, she always added. As predicted, Ami ran in.
"Momma! Papa! They're playing crazy eights!" Ami reported loudly from Amu's room. There was silence, and then:
"Wahhh!" Her parents rushed up to Amu's room and pushed Ikuto to the ground. When they realized that the couple actually was playing crazy eights (as far as they knew, at least) they felt very ridiculous.
"I told you, no one says 'crazy eights' anymore when they're doing that. It's an our-generation-thing!" Amu's mother whispered angrily to her husband. He sighed.
"Sorry, Ikuto. Parents will be parents." The father turned to Ami. "Ami-chan, want to go take pictures downstairs?" He asked eagerly.
"Owkay!" She replied, following her parents downstairs. Amu waited a bit to make sure they were gone, than resumed her position on Ikuto's lap on the bed.
"Sorry 'bout that. My dad's crazy paranoid. He knows nothing about you and doesn't trust you." Amu said sadly. Ikuto smiled.
"He's rightly afraid. He doesn't know what I'm secretly planning to do to his little girl." He whispered, kissing Amu's cheek devilishly.
"You're planning to kiss me?" Amu guessed eagerly. Ikuto smiled wider.
"Kissing is part of it, yes." He answered, twirling her hair with his fingers. He gave her a sly grin and looked at her chest.
"Don't count on it." She said, taking herself off of Ikuto's lap. "I didn't do it with Tadase, and I'm not doing it with you." Ikuto made a pouty-face.
"Pwease?" He asked, mimicking Ami. Amu giggled a bit and kissed his lips.
"Nope." She said between long kisses. "No, not happening, no, nope." Ikuto enjoyed the kissing, but still wanted Amu. Ikuto pressed himself against Amu and pushed her to her back. He smiled at her from above her, and she blushed redder than ever before.
"I said no…" She whispered, unable to say any more. Ikuto licked his lips.
"We won't do anything you don't want to do." He said firmly, grabbing her sides. "Just tell me when you want to stop." He added. When Amu nodded, he took initiative and crushed his lips against hers. She kissed him back, hard, and when he asked for entrance into her mouth with his tongue, she allowed it. He grabbed at her butt and took his shirt off. Amu traced the muscles of her boyfriend.
"S-stop…" She moaned; he was trying to take her shorts off. Ikuto sighed but did stop, which Amu greatly appreciated. Now it was Amu's turn to surprise him. She rolled over so that he was below her and started kissing his neck.
"I love you, Ikuto." She said as she kissed his gorgeous chest. He now tried to take off her shirt. "Cut it out." She growled. Now Amu was no longer in a kissing mood and got off the bed.
"Amuuuuu." Ikuto whined. "Don't be like that!'
"I told you, you wouldn't listen. Now put your shirt on, Ami will be in here any minute." She ordered. Her kitten promptly obeyed. To show she wasn't angry, she quickly kissed his lips before Ami came back in.
"Bye Tadase, I'm going to a movie with Rima." Ronnie called. Ronnie and her parents had moved into the Hotori household about a month ago. She would only be staying another month in their home, and one more month after that in Japan. Ronnie was an extremely skilled pianist, who had recently become Tadase's girlfriend.
"Bye love!" He called in English to his American girlfriend. They had met when Tadase went on vacation in California and instantly clicked. It was after Tadase and Amu broke up that these two's love flourished. "You're birthday present will be waiting for you when you get back!" he added, also in English. Ronnie laughed.
"You just said my birthday present smells like a fire-breathing dragon on a hot winter balloon." She could not hold back, he had just made such an enormous mistake. The two were teaching each other their languages, and Ronnie had taken to Japanese better than Tadase to English.
"Oh, my bad." He said with a large blush strewn across his face.
Ronnie smiled and kissed him.
"I'll be back in two hours. You'd better have my birthday cake and gifts ready." She teased. Tadase watched her leave for her movie with a terrible feeling in his gut; he didn't have anything planned for her party.
"I hate this movie." Utau announced as she shifted her weight. Amu had come over to watch a movie with her, and Ikuto would be home soon. Utau wanted to spend some friend-time with Amu before he got back.
"Yeah, I guess it sucks pretty badly. What do you want to do instead?" She asked after turning off the movie. Utau thought for a moment.
"Let's talk! Like, girl to girl." Utau suggested. She had been stuck inside for the last week because of a nasty cold, and so was not updated on all the drama of her friends. "Tell me everything you know that has happened!" Amu laughed and then considered the question.
"Alright… let's see… over the last week…" She thought hard but was still unable to think of anything. "Oh, right! Rima and Nagihiko are going steady. They're very happy together, and are with each other every other day. Hano-chan and Katsuro-sempai returned from their trip to Paris yesterday. Hano-chan is actually coming over to my house later tonight to tell me about it. Uh, a boy named Kukai, who moved here a few months ago, has apparently been hanging out 'with a Tsukiyomi'. Whoever told me about him said that, so naturally I assumed Ikuto." Utau nodded.
"Kukai, eh. You know anything about him? Like, does he have a girlfriend?" Utau asked innocently. She was secretly going out with Kukai. It wasn't official, but they were definitely dating. Utau saw this as a chance to see if Amu knew they were together, or if Kukai was cheating on her.
"I think he's dating a blond. I know I heard someone in the background say, 'oh yeah, he's dating a friggin' hot blond. I'd bang her.' " She replaced her voice with a bad impression of a deep guy voice for the quote. Utau laughed.
"I see. Alright then." Utau said, appeased. She was almost positive that was her. Just then the front door opened loudly, and running was heard. A large, heavily-built man with a ski mask and a gun was standing in the doorway of the living room. He looked at the girls happily. After all, he was alone in a house with a fifteen year old and a sixteen year old. He looked forward to what he would do to them, but first, the money.
"Get on the ground!" He shouted, pointing his gun at them. They both ducked and covered their heads. "I said the GROUND!" He roared, taking a step forward. The two terrified girls threw themselves to the ground. When the robber was satisfied with their position, he tied them both up with duct tape and put them in a corner. He promised to return once he had stolen anything of value in the house.
"Amu," Utau whispered, just barely being able to speak through her gag. "Ikuto will be home soon." She was clearly unsure if this was a good or a bad thing. Amu considered it. He could get help and he could free them. Or he could get captured and be forced to watch what the robber would do to the girls. Amu shuttered.
What are we going to do?
