A Hesitant Heart
Chapter Two: A Date

"Joker?" Kairi spoke; ending the lost silence between them.
"Yes?"
"How about we meet with the other guardians?"
"Sure, sure."

The two of them got up and started walking. Then Amu suddenly realized something.

"Class Prez?"
"Hm?"
"Since we're in high school now, we're not the Guardians anymore. Which means we don't go to the Royal Garden now."
"I knew that. We're going to King's house."

Amu was quite surprised. She wondered why Kairi picked Tadase's house…

"We're here." Kairi said and stopped right outside Tadase's house.
"I'll ring the bell." I ran to the door and ringed the doorbell.

Amu's POV

Luckily, Tadase opened the door. I don't know what I could have said if his grandmother opened it.

"Hmm? Hinamori-san? What brings you he-" Tadase tilted his head to the right and saw Kairi.
"S-Sanjo-kun?!"

Kairi chuckled.

"King, it's been a while." Kairi bowed.
"Y-Yes." Tadase hesitated but then bowed.

Tadase invited us both in and prepared some tea.

"So, what brings you here?" Tadase smiled – the smile that made me fall in love with him in the first place.

"I just thought I'd visit."

"Ah! Hinamori-san?"
"Yes?"
"Yuiki-san told me to deliver a message to you when I see you. She says: 'Amu-chiiiiiii! I miss you! I hope graduation comes sooner so that we can be in the same building!'"

Tadase imitated Yaya's cute voice perfectly. I tried to hold in my laughter but I just couldn't. Tadase sounded so much like Yaya!

"E-Eh?" Tadase looked confused.
"N-Nothing. You just sounded so much like Yaya-chan! So cute!" I regretted my last sentence.

Tadase blushed a light shade of red.

Tadase's POV

"H-Hinamori-san? Are you and Sanjo-kun…." I asked hoping I would get the answer I want.
"Eh!? No, no! Nothing like that!!" Amu said - no, shouted.

I sighed in relief. Truth is, I have developed little crush on her now. I smiled at her and dropped the topic.

"Sanjo-kun?"

He was staring out at the window the whole time.

"Mm?"
"Would you like to visit Yuiki-san's house? I'm sure she'll be ecstatic."

But before he could answer, Amu stood (more of jumped really) up and replied:

"Sure!"

I laughed inside when I saw her eyes glitter with excitement. All three of us stood up and headed to Yaya's home.

Amu's POV

DING

"Comiiiiing!" A cute voice yelled from the other side of the door.

Yaya opened the door and nearly deafened us when she screamed at Kairi.

"Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee! Cass Prez!!" She ran towards Kairi and hugged him.

"Err…" Kairi patted her head and laughed. "Ace, it's starting to hurt…"

Tadase and I laughed. Yaya let go and rushed us in.

"I'll prepare some snacks. Amu-chii, won't you help me?" Yaya said, putting her cute puppy-dog face on. The one I couldn't resist.

"Yaya-chan! You know I can't resist… Fine."
"Yahoo!! Let's go make some cookies Amu-chi!"

I followed Yaya to her kitchen and helped her form the dough.

"Oh! Amu-chi, where's Ran, Miki and Su?"
"They're all still asleep."
"So is Pepe-chan!"
"I wonder what made them so tired…"

Normal POV

Flashback – Last Night

"MUSASHI!!" The charas shouted in chorus.
"Welcome baaaaack!!" Shouted Ran.
"We should party aaaaall niiight!" Pepe said.

The charas ate and drank (no, not alcohol. XD) to their heart's content and stayed up all night dancing, singing and talking.

End of Flashback

"By the way, Amu-chi," Yaya said with an evil glint in her eye.
"Y-Yeah?" Amu asked, wondering what evil thing Yaya was thinking about.
"Soo, which one of them do you like?" Yaya asked, pointing at the two boys sitting on the couch.
"E-Eh?!"

Yaya laughed and put the cookies in the oven.

"Kidding! Let's go back to them."

After a while of talking, they heard a "DING!" from the timer.

"Tadase-kuuuun, can you get the cookies in the oven and put them in the bowl I placed on the table?" Yaya asked, putting her puppy-dog face back on.
"Err… Sure Yuiki-san. Hinamori-san, can you help me?"
"Sure!" Amu replied, standing up.

Both of them enter the kitchen and Tadase puts on mitts and takes out the cookies.

"Uhmm… Hinamori-san…"
"Yes?" Amu asked while putting the cookies carefully in the bowl.
"W-Would you like to go out with me on Saturday? We could look around the shops…" Tadase asked shyly.

Amu's head jerked up to look at Tadase. She was surprised. The only time they go out is when they have some Guardian business to do. But since they're in high school, they haven't gone out together in a while.

"S-Sure!" Inside, Amu's heart was filled with happiness.

Hope you Amuto lovers won't mind that Amu and Tadase go on a date. Like I said, I have plans. Heheh...
