And now to finish this story!


Why is this happening to me?

Amu stared down at the map placed into her hands by one of the teachers as Ikuto walked over to her.

"Looks like we're partners."

She blushed as she looked up at him. Of all people! Someone must be testing me! But Ikuto seemed a little different today. He wasn't smirking at her like he normally did. She looked back at Utau, who was giving her an apologetic look since she got paired with Tadase. She'd told Amu when she got back last night that as far as she knew, Ikuto hadn't said a thing to anyone.

Which is so not like him. Maybe he's still in shock from having the person he hates kiss him.

She still hadn't even apologized. She didn't know how to explain it to him. Sure it sounded simple but he'd probably just make fun of her even more if he found out what actually happened. Maybe he was just trying to forget about it and she was perfectly happy with that plan.

Might as well make the best of it.

All the pairs were placed at different entrances and were given compasses to help them find their way. And then the whistle blew and they all made their way into the forest.

The first few minutes were painfully silent between the two of them. She just wasn't sure what to say or how to start a conversation with him. Normally, he'd have made fun of her by now and they'd be arguing. That was at least more comfortable than this.

"Are you sure this is the right way?" Ikuto finally asked.

"Huh? How would I know? I've been following you."

She saw his eyebrow start to twitch.

"What do you mean you don't know?! You have the map!"

Oh crap! He's right! I've been so caught up in my thoughts that I haven't been directing us!

"Sorry! This looks like the right way. I think…"

He sighed. "Okay. Well I'm gonna stay out in front. You can guide me from behind."

"Fine."

Wouldn't it make more sense for the person with the map to lead?! And to think, I could have been with Tadase right now. Sigh.

After what seemed like another half hour or so, they reached a small cliff. A dead end.

"Amu…where the hell are we?!"

"Umm…"

She looked back down at the map. I swear I was taking us the right way…

"Amu…"

"I swear I've been doing it right. Look. Here's where we started," she said, pointing to the map, "And here's the path I was following up til now."

"Amu that's a river not a path!" Ikuto said smacking his hand against his forehead.

"Oh…whoops. Umm…maybe this is the mountain top?" She laughed nervously as she walked out to the edge of the cliff.

"There's no way we would've gotten there already. Just give me the map. I'll figure it out."

"Okay…"

She honestly did feel bad. It was her fault they were lost. She was actually surprised at how calm he was being about it. Maybe he's not always an asshole.

Ikuto turned to head back in the direction they came, but as Amu took a step to follow him, the edge of the cliff crumbled beneath her feet. Ah!

"Ikuto!" She screamed as she started to fall. She closed her eyes to brace herself for impact, but instead felt a hand grab onto her arm and as another pressed against her back. They landed with a thud on a small plateau sticking out about fifteen feet below the cliff.

She opened her eyes and came face to face with Ikuto. She blushed immediately and pulled away.

"Are you..okay?" He asked, his voice a bit strained.

As she took in their surroundings, she realized she was sitting on top of him, pressing his back against the cliff and his legs against the ground.

"Oh my god. I'm sorry!"

He broke my fall!

She hoisted herself up off of him and reached out a hand to help him up, but he just continued to stare at her.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't move my arm."

"What?!"

She looked down and saw there was a huge gash in his arm. Oh my god! Did he fall on a rock?! She quickly removed her jacket and used it to wrap his wound.

"I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!"

"Yeah, I know."

She felt her stomach drop. But when she looked up at him, he didn't look angry like she expected. He was smirking at her. But not in his usual creepy, evil way. It was almost in a cute, that's-just-the-way-you-are way.

"At least you're okay right?"

"Yeah," Amu blushed, "Thank you."

Maybe he really isn't as bad as I thought…

He used his good arm to reach inside his pocket and pull out his cell phone.

"Crap. No signal. You got anything?"

She pulled out her own phone and flipped it open. "Nope. Nothing."

"Great," He sighed. "Guess we're gonna have to wait here until someone finds us."

Ugh. Great. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long for everyone to get back so the teachers could realize they were missing.

Just then Ikuto's stomach growled extremely loud and Amu had to fight back a giggle.

"Oh that's right! We packed lunches. Might as well eat them while we wait."

She sat down next to him against the cliff and pulled out her lunch. As she opened hers, she noticed Ikuto wasn't moving.

"What's wrong? You brought a lunch right?"

"Well yeah, but I can't move. Guess you're gonna have to feed me." He said with a smirk.

What?!

"What about your good arm?"

"Well I don't want to risk injuring that one too."

"…"

"Come on, Amu. I just saved your life and you can't do this one simple thing?"

"Okay, fine!" She hissed.

If you're gonna pull that card on me, obviously I have to do it! And I thought he was being nice before too!

She unwrapped his sandwich, but as she started lifting it up to his mouth, he leaned in toward her to take a bite. Her eyes widened in shock.

So. Close. He's so close. She felt her cheeks get hot as he continued to lean forward to eat, his mouth coming within inches of hers.

Why is my heart pounding over something like this?! Not to mention it's…Ikuto…

A million thoughts ran through her head but before she could analyze anything, she felt something hot and wet against her finger. Eh?!

"Sorry. You got some on your finger."

Are you serious?!

"Why would you do something like that, you pervert!"

"Oh please. That's nothing compared to you, Amu."

What? She looked at him confused.

"You're the one who kissed me in the dark, under the covers."

You've gotta be kidding me!

"You know, Amu," He said, leaning in with a smirk. "No one's here right now but us, so if you want to—"

"No, stop!" Her cheeks were on fire now.

"Ha ha. I was just kidding," He laughed. "Nice reaction though. Besides, I can't really do anything with my arm like this anyway."

"Don't tease me like that! And what does your arm have to do with kissing anyway?"

He just looked at her like she was stupid. What? I think that's a perfectly legitimate question!

"I'll show you later," He said as his smirk returned.

What?!

"A..ha…ha. No, that's okay."

"I guess I shouldn't be making fun of you anyway. Without you here, I couldn't even eat right now."

Even though that wasn't necessarily true, he said it with a sincerity that gave her a tingling sensation somewhere inside of her.

"You're welcome. And without you, I could have split my head open and died or something. So thanks!" She said smiling up at him.

She watched as his cheeks turned pink and he looked away. Eh?!

"Sorry, did I do something?" she asked.

"It's nothing."

But his blush only deepened.

"Are you embarrassed?"

"No!"

Amu couldn't help but laugh.

"Shut up!" He yelled as his face got even more red.

So that's it…He's mean and everything, but he's not just that…There are actually some cute things about him. But…She frowned…Now it's even harder to tell him I kissed him by mistake.

"Hmm…it's starting to get dark out."

Amu looked up at the sky. Ikuto was right. She looked at her phone. Over an hour had passed since they'd last checked. She was starting to wish this had been a morning trip instead of an afternoon trip.

I hope help comes soon!

Suddenly, something heavy pressed against her shoulder and she looked down to see Ikuto laying against her. His eyes were closed and his lips looked pale. She could feel him tremble slightly.

"Are you okay?!"

He doesn't look good. He must've lost a lot of blood.

When she looked down, she noticed that it wasn't just his arm that had been bleeding but his hand as well.

"Hey! What happened to your hand?!"

"What? Oh. It's really not that bad. I just cut it on a branch."

"A branch? How?"

Then she remembered something. "I'm gonna stay in front. You can guide me from behind."

Wait…did he do that so I wouldn't get hurt?

She felt herself blush again. This boy… He started shivering so she wrapped her arms around him and laid his head against her chest. Ikuto…I really don't get you at all…but still…maybe I got you all wrong. Maybe I like—

"Hey is anyone here?!"

Amu was torn from her thoughts at the sound of someone yelling above them. Oh my god someone finally came!

"Down here! We're here!"

"Oh my god, Amu! You're alive!"

Utau ran toward her and gave her a big hug as she and Ikuto entered the school. Amu smiled at her best friend as she returned the hug.

"Are you okay?!"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry, Utau."

"We'll get you to the health center right away," she heard one of the teacher's say behind her.

That's right. I hope he's okay!

"What happened to Ikuto?" Utau asked.

"Uhh…" She wasn't sure what to say. "He injured his arm pretty badly."

"Wow that sucks! But anyway, guess what?"

"What?"

"Tadase was really worried about you, too! It's totally a good sign!"

"Oh…uh…thanks."

For some reason, she didn't feel as excited about that as she probably should.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Utau asked as Ikuto and the teachers walked past. "You should be excited! It doesn't even matter that you accidentally kissed Ikuto instead of Tadase last night!"

Amu's stomach dropped instantly and she saw Ikuto stop out of the corner of her eye. She looked over at him and immediately regretted it. He hadn't even tried to hide the hurt in his eyes before turning back and walking toward the health room.

"No. Ikuto wait. She's wrong."

"You're such an idiot," he said turning around. "I really do hate you."

Then he walked back toward the teachers.

No no no no no!

She never thought hearing those words from him would ever hurt her as much as they did right now. What is this? What's wrong with me?

"Eh? Amu? Are you okay?" she heard Utau ask. "What was that about?"

"It's nothing," she replied trying to will back the tears she could feel forming around her eyes. "I'm just tired. I'm just gonna go back and go to sleep okay?"

"Uh yeah. Sure."

"Without you here, I couldn't even eat right now."

No matter how hard she tried, Amu couldn't fall asleep. She kept hearing his voice in her head and kept seeing his face as he turned around to look at her that time.

"I really do hate you."

She closed her eyes and squeezed her pillow tighter as those words stung her again. Whatever happened to that asshole who made fun of her and teased her and did everything in his power to ruin her day?

"You're such an idiot."

Amu groaned. This was useless. She wasn't going to get any sleep without talking to him first. She reached for her phone and flipped it open. 11:30…Everyone must already be asleep right now. The teachers would have already completed all their rounds by now. She knew he'd be kept in the health center overnight. She also knew there would be a nurse stationed in there overnight.

But she had to risk it. She needed to talk to him. To clear this whole mess up. Otherwise, she'd never be able to sleep again!

She slipped out of bed and tiptoed toward the closet so as not to wake her roommates. She changed into some dark clothing to help herself blend in more. Then, she moved toward the door, opening and closing it quietly as she stepped outside.

She made her way to the main door and stepped out into the night air. She had to run across the courtyard to the health center, but it went smoothly since it was so dark outside. This place really isn't as strictly regulated as these people make it seem…

She successfully slipped through the main doors of the building. There were a few lights on, but she didn't see anyone in the main lobby. Luckily, the building only had one floor and it was split in half with faculty rooms in the right wing, and student rooms in the left. So she went left and turned the corner to where the rooms were.

The nurse on duty must be in the bathroom or something.

It was about time she'd had some good luck today. Ikuto's door was most likely the only one with a paper on it, but she checked the name plate just to be safe. As she reached for the handle, she started to get nervous.

Come on, Amu. You've come this far. You have to talk to him!

Not giving herself another second to hesitate, she turned the handle and slipped inside the room.

"Hello? Nurse?"

She was surprised at how her nerves calmed at the sound of his voice. She could see the faint outline of his figure in the bed a few feet in front of her.

"Uhh…no."

"Amu?!"

"Damn you're good."

"Idiot. I know you're voice."

This made her heart race slightly for some reason. Did he pay that much attention to her that he could already separate her voice from everyone else's?

"What are you doing here, Amu?"

"Uhh…right. Well—"

"Turn the light on. It's starting to freak me out that I can't see you."

"Oh right. Sorry." She flicked the switch next to her.

She was not prepared to see Ikuto looking up at her—half-naked. She blushed profusely.

"W-why aren't you wearing a shirt?!"

"Cause it's hot in here."

"Oh…"

"Why are you here, Amu? Tadase's in the dorm, not here."

"Yes, I know that, Ikuto. Don't be a smart ass!"

"Well I'd hate for you to accidentally have sex with the wrong person or something."

"You're sick."

"Whatever. I'm not the one who—"

"Please shut up and let me talk."

"Fine," he said, leaning back and crossing his arms in front of his chest. "What?"

She walked over and sat down at the edge of his bed.

"Look. It's true that I liked Tadase. But…when I was with you today, I realized I was glad it was you who I kissed. I like you, Ikuto."

She felt her face turn blood red. She closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at him anymore as she continued to speak.

"I'm sorry. I know I'm being selfish and I don't expect you to accept this, but right now you're the only one I want to be with!"

She squeezed her eyes shut tighter as she braced herself for his response.

"You're such an idiot."

She felt a hand grasp her arm and pull her up the bed. Eh? Suddenly she was sitting right next to him, his face just inches from hers.

"You should've realized it a lot sooner."

"What?"

He smirked at her. Her eyes widened.

"You mean…all this time…"

"Duh. Why do you think I always argued with you? I could tell right away that you liked him. That's why I always talked to you, so that you couldn't talk to anyone else."

"You sneaky bastard!"

She reached out to smack him playfully, but he caught her arm and pulled her toward him, closing the distance between their faces. His lips grazing hers sent a tingling sensation through her mouth and down her spine. Her eyes fluttered shut and she felt his left hand slip behind her ear and massage her head lightly.

At the same time, his other arm let go of hers and moved behind her back. Just the feeling of his hand on the small of her back sent another tingling sensation up her spine this time and the area felt like it was on fire. She gasped against his lips and he used his other hand to tilt her head upward slightly in order to deepen the kiss. She felt his tongue dip into her mouth just slightly, but it was enough to send another jolt through her causing her to let out a tiny moan.

Much to her dismay, his lips left hers. She opened her eyes to see his blue ones staring back at her.

"Wow…" she said, panting slightly. "You weren't kidding…about…needing your arms."

"Told you," he said with a smirk as he gave her another small peck on the lips.

"Well. It's more like your hands really."

"Shut up."

She smiled at him before giving him a small peck of her own.

"Hey, how come your arm isn't hurting right now?"

"I donno. Adrenaline I guess."

Amu blushed again.

"You're right," she said, "It is pretty hot in here."

"Yeah," he said, tracing her cheekbone with his finger. "It's okay if you want to take your shirt off too."

"You're such a pervert, I swear." She gave him a light smack on his arm as he laughed.

"I'm just kidding! Why are you wearing all black anyway?"

"Cause I had to sneak over here to win you over."

She watched his cheeks turn red and she smiled.

"God you're too adorable," he said.

This time it was her turn to blush. And for some reason she couldn't stop staring at his mouth. She never realized how addicting kissing could be. Unable to stop herself, she reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, and placed her lips on his again. One of his hands found the small of her back again and she felt the other push against the back of her head and he pulled her closer.

She smiled against his lips in understanding as she wrapped her arms tighter around him. She didn't ever want to let him go either.
