Amu: Why am I in jail? I'd never go to jail!

Me: Shut up, I'm trying to begin!)

Chapter 2

Amu could feel her heart beat quicken as he stood up and walked towards her from the other side of the yard. Oh, God! she thought.

"You're on your own, Amu," Nagi said with a smile.

"W-what-?!" Amu exclaimed.

Rima pulled him away and Amu realized that she was on her own.

Amu watched as Ikuto smirked and walked towards her. Dammit, dammit! she thought. What if he got in here for raping someone?! I don't want to get raped! Oh my God! What if he's a pervert! Oh my God! Wow… he's… really hot though…

Amu shook her head and closed her eyes. Maybe if he thought she wasn't paying attention to him, he wouldn't bother her!

"What's wrong? Are you trying to hide from someone?"

Amu's eyes snapped open and she jumped in surprise. She turned to see a smirking Ikuto behind her.

"Hi there," he said with a smile. "I think your hiding skills need some work, Sweetheart." He put his hands in his pockets and smirked. "I don't think I've officially introduced myself. I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto. You are?"

"Hinamori."

"Hinamori what?" Ikuto leaned closer to her. She blushed and looked away.

"Amu. Hinamori Amu."

Ikuto put caressed her face with his hand, making Amu look at him in surprise, her face bright red. He leaned in. "Nice to meet you, Amu."

She boldly pushed him away, making many faces turn towards them. Amu steadied her breath. Where was that outer character she always used with her family?

"Show some respect!" Amu snapped, although her face was still bright red. "And leave me alone!"

His smirk started to scare her and suddenly, Amu found herself lying on the ground with Ikuto hovering over her.

"H-how-?!" she started but he put a long finger over her lips. He moved his face closer to hers so that their noses were only inches apart.

"You've got quite a tongue, Amu," he said with a sly smile.

Amu burned red. "I-I—"

He moved his lips to her right ear. "If you were any other one of these prisoners you would be wishing that you never made it this far alive." Amu's eyes widened and she shivered. Then he laughed and got up. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"W-wha—"

"I may be a top criminal, but I'm not going to hurt you, Amu."

Amu looked at him. He turned and started to walk away.

"Wait!" He looked at her. Amu steadied herself. "And why not?! You think that I'm not tough enough?"

Ikuto laughed. "Even though that's true, that's not the reason."

"Oh really, then what is?!" Amu demanded.

He smirked. "It's because I like you."

Amu blinked. "W-wha-?" But by that time, Ikuto had already walked away.

Rima and Nagi walked over to her.

"Wow," Rima said. "I can't believe he didn't kill you."

Amu was still staring at Ikuto as he crossed the yard. She then looked back at Rima. "You… thought he was going to kill me?"

Nagi laughed. "Well, of course. I mean, he's Tsukiyomi Ikuto."

Amu's eyes widened and she shook her head in disbelief. "You don't mean… Ikuto killed someone, right?"

Nagi glanced around and he lowered his voice. "No one knows for certain why he was sentenced here, but there are rumors."

Rima nodded. "Some say he found out that his girlfriend had cheated on him for two years, so he killed the boy she was cheating on him with, and the boy's parents and siblings."

Nagi grinned. "Others say one day he just snapped and went psycho, killing everyone in sight."

Utau walked over to them. Amu noticed Kukai was still playing basketball. "What are you guys talking about?"

"The reason why Ikuto was sent to this jail."

Utau shrugged. "That's a dumb topic to talk about. He never told anybody and no one is tough enough to ask him." Utau's eyes narrowed in slight frustration. "The only thing we know is that he's a bad ass that was sent here for something really bad."

Amu rubbed her head and sat down on the bench. The others sat beside her.

Utau rolled her eyes. "Stop being idiots and leave the subject alone. I'm sick of this prison."

Amu looked at the older girl. "Why are you here?"

Utau glared at her. "Not that it's any of your business, but I was sent here for drug dealing."

Amu blinked. "W-why-?"

Utau rolled her eyes again, obviously annoyed with Amu. "Money, of course. Anyway, my times almost up here and then I'm done with this hell."

Rima looked at Amu. "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?"

"Sorry…," Amu said. "Uh, why are you here?"

Rima closed her eyes. "I'm not going to tell you."

Nagi laughed softly. "Rima's here because she poisoned her parents."

Amu's eyes widened. That… was worse than Utau's…

Rima punched Nagi's shoulder. "Damn you." She looked at Amu. "What? Is there a problem with me poisoning my parents?"

Amu raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, there kind of is!"

Rima shrugged. "They asked for it. My parents weren't parents at all. They ignored me, neglected me… When they were about to put me in a foster home, I poisoned their coffee. It took less than a minute for them to die." Rima nodded, concluding her story.

Nagi smiled. "I'm here because I helped in a robbery."

Amu glanced over at the basketball court. "Why's Kukai here?"

Utau looked at the ground. "It wasn't his fault…"

"Huh?"

"It wasn't his fault!" she snapped.

Nagi patted Utau on the back. "What Utau's trying to say is that Kukai was sent here because he took the blame for a best friend. He shouldn't even be here."

Utau stood up. "That's enough catching up for me. I'm going back to my cell." She then narrowed her eyes at Amu. "And dammit if you so much as wake me up I'm going to kill you."

Amu nodded quickly. Utau walked away and back inside.

That's when Kukai came over to them. Amu thought that Kukai was pretty cute, but not in that kind of way…. How sweet… he took the fall for a friend…

Kukai smiled at her. "Hi, I don't believe we've met."

"I'm Hinamori Amu," Amu said with a shy smile.

Kukai shook her hand enthusiastically. "Nice to meet you! I'm Souma Kukai. I see you've already met the other delinquents?"

Amu held back a laugh. "Yeah."

"What did you mean by that, Souma?" Rima asked coolly.

Kukai laughed nervously. "Sorry, Mashiro." He wiped off his sweat with a raggedy looking towel. "Utau go in already?"

Nagi nodded. "Yeah. I think she's taking a nap."

Kukai smiled. "This early?"

Nagihiko smirked. "I heard she had a talkative roommate."

Amu blushed and Kukai laughed. Amu smiled. She could tell why Utau liked Kukai so much. Amu glanced back over across the courtyard and back at Kukai. Then her eyes widened and she looked back across the yard.

He was gone.

Disappeared.

Not there.

"You looking for someone?" asked Kukai.

"Tsukiyomi could've killed her today," Rima informed him.

Kukai looked a little surprised. "Tsukiyomi Ikuto? Yeah… he played a little ball. What do you mean he tried to kill Hinamori?"

"He confronted her. I wouldn't know why."

Amu wasn't sure if she should be insulted by that statement or…?

"I feel bad for the guy," Kukai said. Amu looked at him instantly.

"Why?" Amu asked.

Kukai sighed. "He's pretty much a loner around here. He's so intimidating that no one is tough enough to actually get to know him. Sure, he has some followers, but still… plus, I heard he's been in and out of this place and this sentence may even be for life. He's in his early twenties. He ruined his whole life by whatever the hell he did."

Amu frowned. She felt bad for Ikuto… She just couldn't understand why he could act so kindly towards her, and yet intimidate criminals. Sure, he intimidated her… and he was mysterious… but he didn't come across to her as the type of guy who would kill people…

Kukai shook his head. "I can't wait to get out of here."

"How many more years do you have?"

Kukai smiled. "Four, but I've been told I could get out early for good behavior."

Rima shrugged. "There's nothing for me to go back to. My family both hates me and is scared of me and I'm pretty sure my apartment was knocked down."

"Well, Rima-chan, you can come live with me," Nagi said with a smile.

Rima shrugged. "I'll think about it."

Kukai grinned at Amu. "What about you? What are you going to do after you get out of this dump?"

Amu sighed. "I… Well, I hope I can continue with my college education, but who knows now… I do have a criminal record."

Someone chuckled behind them. They all turned in shock to see Ikuto. He was simply walking by, on his way back to inside, but they hadn't noticed him at all. Ikuto smirked at Amu, their eyes locking, even if it was only for a second. Amu's heart skipped a beat.

Rima looked at Amu strangely. Then she shook her head.

Amu blinked. "What?"

Rima whispered something to Nagihiko. Nagi frowned. "Oh, that's not good…"

Amu stared at them in fear. "What?!"

Kukai sighed. "You're not thinking of Lulu, are you?"

Rima and Nagi nodded in unison.

"Who's Lulu?" Amu asked.

Rima held onto Nagi's arm. "It was about a year ago. Tsukiyomi started looking at this new girl, Lulu, funny. It was obvious he was interested in her. She was very beautiful, of course. Anyway, Tsukiyomi started hanging around her for a while . That's when Lulu started acting funny. She kept on looking over her shoulder whenever she walked somewhere, she was always nervous and paranoid. Then she disappeared."

Amu's eyes were wide and she was very pale.

Rima continued. "Lulu was found a few weeks later. Dead."

"What… happened?"

Rima shook her head. "No one knows. There are rumors, however, and each and every one has something to do with Tsukiyomi Ikuto."

The guards then blew their whistles signaling for all the prisoners to head back inside. Nagi wrapped his arm around Rima's shoulder, Kukai tossed the basketball to the side, and Amu walked slowly. What if… Ikuto killed that girl…? What if… Ikuto… was going to kill… her next?
