(ok I think I replaced them sorry guys was thinking about a different story…if you see more say something please))

Amu was dancing in a room that really no one uses. She trips "damn...still not good" she said getting up. Amu was not the best dancer at the school but she worked hard and tried her best to show that she was worth something to the academy that she went to, but was still misunderstood and the people that were her partners hated dancing with her because of it.

Utau walked in, wanting to practice a little herself, she saw Amu working harder than usual.
"Hey Amu, what's happening?" she asked as she walked in and placed a towel down that she always used down on the ground as she placed her hands on her hips and looked at her.

Utau was all that Amu wanted to be beautiful, funny and was the best dancer at the academy. Everyone wanted to dance with her or date her; she always got the best dancers and the lead roles of the plays they do.

"Oh... Nothing much just the usual" she said turning and falling over the heels that she was wearing.

"Why are you practicing so hard, are you nervous about the recital?"Utau asked, going over the basic steps of her dance.

"Yes... of course and the guy that has to dance with me is good and I want to be ready for it" she said picking herself up and dusting off her tutu that she was wear to practice in.

She looked at her she looked at her with a concerned look "Do you need some help with your dance?" she asked, Amu knew she was only trying to be a good friend but she would never get anywhere if she didn't do it for herself plus even though Utau had been in a lot of these things it still didn't feel right taking her help.

"It's ok I was about to leave anyway." she said picking up her things.

"Well, break a leg out there" Utau said, strapping her heals on.

Amu nodded before headed out the door running into ikuto her dance partner. He was rude and didn't really care about her and always got annoyed when she tripped and messed up the dance, but she was glad it was him for he was a great dancer who taught her well for the most part.

"Oh... Hi ikuto" she said looking up
he looked not amused "will...you move please" he said pushing her out of the way, she moved letting him pass her as she watched him walk away from her toward the dance hall where everyone went.

"He's nice, isn't he?" Utau said, coming up behind Amu

"No not really but I have to dance with him" she said walking with her head down.

"That sucks, at least my guy has some manners, and he just has to watch where he puts his hands." Utau replied, pulling her dress up a little.

"That is true...but today in class we are getting a new partners "Amu said with a grin on her face.

"That's true, and there's a new student in class today."

"Really...I wonder who." Amu asked walking toward the dance hall

"I don't know, but he is supposed to be really good."

"Yeah..." Amu said taking her seat on the floor where she always sat when the teacher taught new moves or started talking about upcoming events that they have to get ready for. Utau came and sat next to her fixing her hair and sat up straight as the teacher came in.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have good news, today we have new partners, and so for the few of you that still have trouble "he said while staring at Amu," you may be partnered with someone who will be able to get past the clumbzyness"

Amu blushed "great...new partner here I come" she thought but got a tight feeling of not wanting a new one; she liked ikuto even if he is rude and didn't like her.

"Also," the teacher went on, "We have a new student, say hello to the newest member of our dancing class, Mister tadase" he said, everyone looked at the door, a boy with short white blond hair walked in, his uniform was neat and clean and he looked like the perfect student and dancer. She wondered who he was and how he came to come to this school.

"Now then, the partners will be as follows..." he stated as everyone got up and stood in a line with guys on one side of the room and girls on the other side of the room. Amu wasn't listening as everyone got partnered up, one by one everyone went Utau got paired with ikuto which made her kind of sad but she didn't say or do anything. Finally being the last one up she felt like she wasn't going to get a good partner until she found out who was left, the new guy tadase.

Amu blushed not knowing what to think as she walked over to him with a fake smile to cover up the blush.

"Ummm...hi, I'm your new partner" she said trying to be kind

"You're the klutz, aren't you?" he asked looking down at her with a kind smile

"Yes...yes I am" she said blushing

He shrugged as the teacher walked over to the radio. "Okay everyone, I want you to show your new partners what you were thinking of doing for the recital." she said, putting on the music.

He pulled her close, going into a quick tango. He lifted her into the air and spinned while she was still being held up, she didn't see what was happening and got confused as he just started going into a dance that she barely knew.

"Ummm...sir I can't reach the floor "she said kind of embarrassed "damn, I don't know his name "she thought

He nodded, put her down and spun her. He let go of her hand for a minute, letting her spin on her own, then he grabbed her hand and dipped her just as the song ended. Everyone, who had stopped dancing to watch, started clapping.

Amu blushed "I have never danced like that before" she said before tripping and falling onto the ground feeling dizzy.

Utau ran over and helped her."Oh my gosh, I've never seen you dance like that. Why didn't you tell me you could dance like that?" she said grabbing her arm and lifting her with ease.

"I can't that is the problem" she said standing up and dusting herself off.

Utau looked at her in shock as she stepped back."You mean he did that?" she said, motioning at Tadase.

"Yeah...I guess he did because I didn't do it" she said looking at her back.

Utau nodded."He might just be the one you're looking for" she said before walking over to ikuto who she was hanging on. Amu rolled her eyes but saw that he was staring at her with interest in his eyes that made her turn red as she looked back at tadase.

"I don't know" she said under her breath as she went back over to him.

"Well...sir what do you want to practice?" she asked as she went over toward him.

He smiled slightly. "Call me tadase, and yes, it might be good if you learned some more." he said

"Ok...tadase, what dance?"She asked blushing

He thought for a moment."Let's start with a simple waltz" he said stepping closer to her and taking her hand as he pulled her close to his body as the music start playing. He lifted her hands up and started spinning her gently as she arched her back and started moving in tune of the song. She wasn't thinking as he moved her body with his and at times she tripped and stepped on his feet but she went on. When the song ended he dipped her and posed, lifting up she stepped back with heavy breathing she smiled thinking that was the best moment of her life as she bowed and the bell rang.

"Thank you…tadase and now I should go" she said before he could say anything to her.

Amu walked down the hall stretching and humming her favorite song, she didn't see the shadow behind her as she took off her heels and started carrying them. Amu was about to turn the corner to her dorm when a hand wrapped around her body and pulled her against a wall. She didn't have time to scream and ask who it was because right when she took a breath the figure kissed her straight on the lips, she didn't back down hitting his arms and shoving him hard to get him off of her but he held on wrapping his arms around her tightly as he held her body to his. When she finally got him to let go she looked up and her eyes widened…

"ikuto?"
