Ikuto: I already know it's going to suck. I looked through your computer files...ihartSasuke.
Kumi: Pervert! Those were my private e-mails!
Ikuto: Heh heh
Amu: Ikuto! It's not nice to tease her about the e-mails. And don't even think of mentioning the pictures or the poems, or the...
Kumi: Amu-chan! You looked at my files too? How could you?
Amu: Well, you weren't paying attention, and I just couldn't resist.
Kumi: You know what? I'm just gonna ignore both of you and start the fanfic. Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara or any of the things mentioned in this fanfic. Including 5 gum.
~First Piece~
Amu's POV
I don't really know why, but I just bought a pack of 5 gum Elixir flavor. It's supposed to be really good. I just liked how the package looked. It has a nice contrast between the black, dark gray, and pink markings. It smells good. I'm not gonna open it yet, I like the smell too much. I'm walking with my eyes closed so I can block out everything else. It smells so good, sort of indescribably good, sort of...
"Hey, watch out!" a voice said. I felt an arm pull me backwards. "You do realize you were about to walk into after work traffic, right?"
I turned around so I could get a better image of the guy who 'saved' me, "No, I didn't realize that. Thanks..." My voice trailed off. This guy was SEXY! He has midnight blue hair, and eyes so blue I could swim in them. He looked about 3-5 years older than me, and kinda Goth wearing his black uniform. He was too perfect.
"You're welcome. Do you mind me asking WHY you were walking into traffic?" He sat down on a bench near the edge of the park. I hadn't even realized I was near the park!
"Um, I was kinda distracted," I looked at my surroundings. How could I have missed all this?
"Distracted? By what?" The boy looked at me closely. OMFG! I love his eyes. "You look kinda flushed, you should sit down.
"Okay," I didn't mind sitting next to him. " answer your question, I just bought a pack of 5 gum. I was smelling it. It smelled so good, that I couldn't pay attention to where I was going." I decided to open the pack now. I tossed a piece in my mouth. It tasted even better than it smelled.
"Well?" His voice interrupted my bliss, but I didn't mind. "Is it good?"
When my brain finally registered what he was saying, I said, "Yeah, it is good. Best gum ever!"
He laughed. "You're funny. C'mon, I'll walk you home." He stood up and I followed. We walked for a while, me only just leading the way. " Well, this has been the most fun I've had in a while."
"Really?" I asked. Why was I so interested in him? He's probably only being nice to me 'cuz I almost died. Wow, I sound really concerned about that, don't I? "Why is that?"
"Well, I was planning on just going home from school, hanging out on the roof of my house, and hoping that my mom doesn't go through my stuff again. But saving you turned my day into a fun, interesting, day." He was smirking, but I could tell that, underneath it all, he was genuinely happy.
"It's starting to get dark." I looked at the sky. We were almost to my house and the sun was setting.
"Is there a problem with that?" He seemed kind of defensive and hurt, like an injured kitten.
"No, it was just a comment." I giggled a bit. "I didn't know you liked the night so much."
"Well, one of my hobbies is playing my violin late at night in the park." He shrugged a bit to readjust the violin case on his shoulder. I hadn't noticed it before.
"Oh." It was then that I noticed that we were right in front of my house. I stretched my arm out so he could shake it. "Well, it was nice meeting you..."
"Ikuto, Ikuto Tsukiyomi." He took my hand and, instead of shaking it, he raised it to his lips and kissed it. I could feel my cheeks go completely red. "What did you say your name was again?" His eyes were a blend of emotions that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
"Amu, Amu Hinamori." My name seemed insignificant compared to his. So insignificant, in fact, that I could barely remember it.
"Amu." He said it as if it was the most precious and fragile thing in the world. "I'll see you around."
"Yeah, I'll be sure to call you when I'm about to walk into traffic again." I know a light blush is plastered on my face, and I'm wearing a big smile too, how embarrassing. I just noticed that he hasn't let go of my hand yet. He was holding it in his and... he was... smiling!
"Heh, yeah, I'll be waiting for that call." He looked up at me. His gaze made me feel all fuzzy inside.
"And I'll be sure to come hear you play in the park sometime." That made him even happier, I could tell. I could almost see a blush on his face, but I still couldn't be sure.
He kissed my hand again, and he walked away. He waved two fingers at me in a way that meant something like 'I'll see you around'. To me, that was the best day of my life. The day I met Ikuto Tsukiyomi.
Kumi: So, what do you think guys?
Ikuto: I still think it sucks.
Amu: I thought it was cute. Though, I still don't understand the title, I mean, A Pack Of 5 Gum doesn't entitle a very good fan fiction. It makes it sound like it's about the story of a pack of gum.
Kumi: It IS the story of a pack of gum. Well, sort of. It's the story of the events caused by a pack of gum. I just don't know if I should keep it a one-shot, or continue the story in another chapter.
Ikuto: I would've liked it more if you'd put a POV from ME in. Or some more of me grabbing Amu. (Grabs Amu and gives her a kiss on the forehead) A FOREHEAD KISS?! What's up with that?
Kumi: I thought it would be inappropriate at the time to have you kiss her anywhere else.
Amu: Good idea. I don't think I'm ready for that. But, you could've made the chapter longer. It sort of was a bit of a cliffy. Though, I liked how you described him. (Whispers to me: that's how I was describing him to Rima before she met him. Crazy, huh?) Including the 'SEXY' part.
Ikuto: Aww. Amu thinks I'm sexy, isn't that sweet?
Amu: I DO NOT!!!
Kumi: Alright you two. Don't brawl about it around the computer. Anyway, R&R! I'll update when I get, let's say, 3 reviews.
