Chapter 2: A Night's Out Encounter

A/N: Hey sorry it took me a while to write this chapter! But I had to do a lot of things away from the house. Well PLEASE REVIEW! It helps me write. It's inspiring. So please read & review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara or Hakone Mountains in any way. I do own my computer though!

Amu's POV

I tilted my head. "Honto?"

Ikuto's face shifted into a disbelieving look," How do you not remember it? You sang your school song while I played the violin." I nodded remembering, Ikuto sighed.

My head shot up and I requested," Ikuto, would you mind playing a song I know so I can sing along." Ikuto smiled. We were standing under the gazebo now.

Ikuto took out his violin and played Hakone Mountains. I sang along,

Hakone Mountains: (Japanese Lyrics)

"Hakone no yama ha tenka no ken
Hako tani kan mo mononarazu
Banjou no yama sen jin no tani
Mae ni sobie kouhou ni sasau
Kumo ha yama womeguri kiri ha tani wotozasu
Hiru nao kuraki sugi no namiki
Hitsuji chou no komichi ha koke nameraka
Kazuo kan niataruya man otto mo hiraku nashi
Tenka ni tabi suru gouki nomononofu
Dai katana koshi ni ashi da gake
Hachi sato no iwane fuminarasu
Kakukosoarishika ouji nomononofu
Hakone no yama ha tenka no so
Fuka ,hosakinisa..so? ha, bin ko
Banjou no yama sen jin no tani
Mae ni sobie kouhou ni sasau
Kumo ha yama womeguri kiri ha tani wotozasu
Hiru nao kuraki sugi no namiki
Hitsuji chou no komichi ha koke nameraka
Kazuo kan niataruya man otto mo hiraku nashi
Yamano ni kari suru gouki nomasurao
Ryoujuu kata ni waraji gake
Hachi sato no iwane fumiyaburu
Kakukosoarikere kin tokino masurao"

English Lyrics:

Hakone Mountains hard to cross,
The mighty fortress lies right here,
High up in the ranges, deepest in the dales,
Rising in front, peaking in the rear,
Oh, clouds around the tops, oh, mist fills the vales,
How dark are the cedar woods, huge trees in rows and rows,
See, the narrow winding lane that shines with moss,
Only the strongest man can keep the whole fortress from foes,
Bravest warriors who go on the road
Might have trod the rocks and ranges,
Trampling, climbing all out of the way,
Was it in this way they traveled in those days?
Hakone Mountains hard to cross,
The mighty fortress lies right here,
High up in the ranges, deepest in the dales,
Rising in front, peaking in the rear,
Oh, clouds around the tops, oh, mist fills the vales,
How dark are the cedar woods, huge trees in rows and rows,
See, the narrow winding lane that shines with moss,
Only the strongest man can keep the whole fortress from foes,
Bravest hunters who chase in the hills
With their hunting guns on their shoulders,
Trampling, climbing all out of the way,
Was it in this way they hunted in those days?

Ikuto reviewed," Your singing improved."

I looked around at the park, dead silence. " So what else are we going to do tonight?"I asked.

Ikuto thought," We could spend the night at your house."

I blushed, I don't care if my parents and Ami are gone. That makes us alone!

" What should we do before that?" I asked nervous. My stomach growled.

Ikuto smirked," Go to your house and get dressed up. Meet me at the Cuisine de Haruno Omoresando in Harajuku, Omotesando." He jumped onto a random roof and ran off.

I caught a taxi to my house. Inside I changed into a one shoulder dress in red from DKNY.

As I walked out of the door I saw a complication, Tadase.

Ikuto's POV

Shopping. Oh joy. I can't go home, I'm 22 and haven't seen my mom for five years. I

I walk into a nice store and a sales clerk assists me," What is the occasion?"

" I am going on a date with a girl I've been in love with for six years. It is very important so do a good job." I demand. The clerk becomes nervous and guides me to a few suits and outfits on a wall.

I notice one that is most black with a blue tie that reminds me a lot of my old uniform. I wonder how to tell Amu I love her. I hope she feels the same way. I sigh and look at the floor.

The store clerk looks worriedly at me," Do you not like the suit." I look up.

" It's fine. I'm just… why should I tell you?" I buy the suit and walk out of the store. I change in a changing room of a different store, the tailor shop didn't have one. On my way to the restaurant I get a call from Amu.

"Mushi, mushi."I say.

"Ikuto, I'm in my bathroom. Tadase showed up, I haven't seen him since we…." Amu trailed off.

" Since what?"

" I broke up with him." She admits.

I stop in the middle of a walkway.

" Tadase? I'm coming over!"

" Wait! WHAT?" I hang up. Amu's house was not too far away.

I make it there in nine minutes. I go through the door. Tadase is sitting on the couch sipping tea. He turns his head and sees me. Disappointment feels his eyes.

" Ikuto, could you not let Amu know you're back. Then I'll never have any chance with her."

I scoff," She already knows I'm here. We've spent the day together after she found me. Why do you think she's dressed up? Amu is going on a date. With me." I emphasis me. At that moment Amu walks in. She sees us together.

" Oh, Tadase Ikuto is back." Amu says laughing nervously under her breath. Wow she looks good.

Amu and I stare at each other for another minute. Tadase just stares appalled.

Tadase's POV

I stared at them staring at each other. How could Amu like someone she hasn't seen in over five years? Plus Ikuto was never as nice or gentlemanly as I was to her. I was an amazing boyfriend.

I look at Amu and yell," I will not lose to Ikuto." An evil smile takes over my face," Or Kukai."

Ikuto's POV

SAY WHAT!

Amu's POV

Tadase storms out of the house, leaving me in an uncomfortable situation. Ikuto looks at me questionably.

I think quick of an excuse, Ikuto can NOT find out like this," Kukai and I used to date. Tadase thinks he still likes me, but we both know he has a thing for Utau." Ikuto nods his head understanding my lie. I decide not to let it spoil the night.

Ikuto chimes in," Oh can we meet at the restaurant? I need to make one more stop." I say sure, I'd let him get away with anything because of how guilty I feel.

Ikuto walks out waving goodbye. Sigh. Tonight will be an adventure. Or should I say rollercoaster. I get in my car, preparing myself for an interesting night.

Well that was my second chapter. I wrote it without thinking so sorry if it is a little uneventful or boring.

Please R&R. I love getting reviews, but I haven't gotten many. Please it helps me write!

Tell me what you think! I'm already writing chapter three while I eat some cream puffs! BYE! R&R. V & (peace, love, and happiness)
