Hello, my friends. I am pleased to announce that chapter 2 will not be Amuto. I really hope that you like this chapter, and it would be greatly appreciated if you reviewed! I'm gonna make this note short and sweet! :)
I don't own Shugo Chara!
Chapter 2:
Kuukai's POV.
I was walking down the street, and it was a normal day. At least I thought it was. The sky was clear. There wasn't a cloud in sight, so I couldn't figure out why I was getting wet. I looked all around, and then I saw her.
Utau was sitting on a bench, not too far away from me. She was crying uncontrollably. Tears were poring down her cheeks, and anyone within a 5 yard radius was sure to get soaked. Feeling sorry for her, I quickly rushed over to her side. She saw me, and she calmed slightly.
"Utau-Chan, what's the matter?" I asked her softly.
She replied by by wrapping her arms around me, and she continued to sob. I was really confused, but I wrapped my hands around her, and patted her back. "I don't know what you're upset about Utau, but I'm sure whatever it is will get better. Do you want to talk about it?"
Utau had settled down a bit, and looked up at me. I gave her a reassuring smile, and she buried her face into my neck. I was used to this with Utau. She was normally quite a strong girl, but even she had her moments. I was normally the only one there for her when she had them, for some reason.
"Everyone's ignoring me!" she cried. "Ikuto is out with Amu, Sanjou-San is out with Nikaidou, and all my friends are busy. I'm completely free today, but obviously no one cares about me enough to want to hang out! I can't stand being alone!"
I cringed. Whenever Utau was sad, it always made me sad, so I tried to make her happy. "Don't worry, I'm free. I'd be more than happy to hang out with you today. Cheer up."
She looked at me. "You would really do that for me?"
I smiled. "Utau, I would do anything for you."
I saw a grin reach Utau's lips, right before she reached up and kissed me softly on the lips. It was those kisses that made it all worth it. Her kisses sent volts of electricity through my body. They made me want to hold onto her and never let go. But, of course every kiss ended way too soon, and it left me waiting and hoping she would give me just one more.
Utau had now stopped crying, and she stood up. She extended her had out to me, and I took it. "What would you like to do today?" I asked her, and she grinned.
"Race ya to my house!" She said, as she started running down the street. "Hey!" I screamed. "Not fair!"
Daichi wasn't with me today, but I could still easily beat her. When we got to her house about ten minutes later, we were both tired out. Utau unlocked the door, and we both sat down on the couch, glad for the air conditioning. Summer had just started a week before, and it was scorching hot.
Utau walked over to the fridge and took out two Popsicles, which Kuukai was more than glad to have. "Let's just hang out here for the day, it's way too hot to be doing anything." I agreed, and Utau turned on the TV.
There wasn't much on, so we put in a movie. The movie wasn't all that interesting so we ended up not paying attention to it at all. Utau and I talked through most of it. She had leaned her head onto my shoulder, so I wrapped my arm around her. Utau was telling me all of of her problems, and I was listening to her, so we didn't notice two little charas enter the room. At least not until El made her presence known.
"I knew the smell of love was in the air! I followed the trail all the way here! How beautiful! My Utau-Chan, finally feeling the enchanting feelings that love brings-"
Utau threw a book in her direction, which she evaded with ease. "What was that for?" She yelled. "That could've hit me!"
"That was the point, stupid."
I was blushing. I couldn't believe that El had just said that about us. Me and Utau, in love? No! We were really close friends. Best friends, maybe. Best friends that sometimes kissed each other... Even if I did have a small crush on Utau, that was all we would ever be. Best friends. Not lovers.
"El, go play with the others. They probably miss your company."
Il interjected. "No! Yoru's being a big bully! He said he didn't want us to play with him! He makes me wanna..." She waved her fists in the air a few times. "He makes me so mad!" She screamed.
Utau was starting to get irritated with her little would-be-selves. "Go play with Ran and Miki then! I don't care, but I'm busy today, I don't want to be bothered!"
The two charas flew over to the corner and whispered to each other for a while. "Fine!" We heard Il shout. El had won the argument.
"We'll leave you two lovebirds alone," El said, "... If we can see a kiss."
Utau gave El a scowl. "Why exactly do I want to be like you again? Get out."
"We're not leaving."
"Fine, whatever. Just be quiet."
Utau looked back over at me, and noticed my beet red face. She giggled, and placed her hand on my cheek. "Embarrassed, are you?" She asked.
I stumbled. "N... no. I have nothing to be embarrassed about."
"You're cute," she said, "But don't lie to me, kid."
A smile formed on my lips. She knew the punishment for calling me a kid. I leaned my head into hers and kissed her gently on the lips. Only this time, when I ended the kiss, she came back for more.
I heard El rambling on about something to do with young love, but we both tuned her out. My heart was racing. This wasn't my first kiss, but this was by far the most intense. Utau wrapped her arms around my neck and pushed me down onto the couch. I knew Utau's two charas were there watching, but I didn't care. All that mattered was the fact that Utau's lips were warm and soft against mine, and I wished it would never end. I gently set my hands on her waist.
Too soon, I felt her pull away, and the kiss was over. I sat up, a slight grin on my face. "What was that for, may I ask?"
She grinned. "Just being generous, but don't think that this means we have something, go it?"
I nodded. "Got it," I said. And we hung out for the rest of the day.
~Utau's POV~
I can't believe this. I just made out with him. What was I thinking? We're not together! Even if I do like him a little bit... We're just friends.
I was pacing back and forth in my bedroom. It was nighttime, and Kuukai had just left. My charas were staring at me, obviously concerned, but I ignored them like normally.
I had been driving myself insane lately. I kept doing things I really didn't mean to do. I couldn't explain it. I just did things on impulse... and now Kuukai probably has the wrong idea.
Maybe it would just be easier to date him, I thought to myself. I do like him, and hey, you never know, it might just work out.
…
No! What am I thinking! Guys are too much work! All they ever do is whine and complain, so it's not even worth having a boyfriend. Plus, I knew Ikuto and Amu wouldn't be too happy if they knew... But I still had a crush on Ikuto. No matter how much I tried to deny it, who wouldn't love Ikuto, even in my situation?
Having nothing to do, I decided to call Amu and ask her for advice.
RING, RING.
"Hello?"
I smiled. "Hey, it's me, Utau. Are you busy tonight?"
Amu thought for a moment. "Uhh... No. Why?"
"Well, I have something really important to talk to you about. Do you mind if I come over? "
Amu asked her parents if it was alright, and they said that Utau was more than welcome over.
"It's great that you called," Amu said, "Cause I actually had something to tell you, too. Oh, and I'm glad your dad's back."
I wanted to ask Amu how she knew about that, but she hung up before I even had a chance. I decided I would just ask later, and I got stuff packed to stay the night with Amu.
What will Utau do when she finds out Ikuto and Amu are more than just friends? Will Utau decide to date Kuukai? Find out in the next chapter of Not to Touch the Earth!
Thank you guys sooooo much for reading this! I would so appreciate it if you reviewed and told me what you thought of this story so far. I love you guys who have reviewed already, and I'm so glad people like this story :) I really did spend a lot of time writing the first chapter. I must've rewritten it like 50 times, haha.
