My life with you
Amu will never understand why she continues to go shopping with Ikuto's sister and mother. She always knew how it would end up; they buy everything they want even for Amu with out even letting her spend a single dime. She doesn't want to be rude but sometimes she feels guilty having them buy all those stuff for her. She was brought up by a good family and had manners; sometimes she wishes she had enough courage to tell them to stop. If it was just her and Utau then she would tell her but if it was with Souka, she wouldn't because she doesn't want her to feel bad. As they were walking along the mall Amu saw this cute charm shop that caught her eye. She excused herself from Souka and Utau and went to check it out. Amu entered the store quickly so Souka and Utau will not notice her.
"Excuse me but may I see that charm on display?" Amu asked the sales lady standing by the counter.
"Of course one moment please" She replied and left to get the charm Amu was asking for. While Amu was waiting for the girl to come back she started looking at the charm catalogue the store has. The sales lady came back with the charm Amu was eyeing a while ago.
"Here you go miss" She handed Amu the cat charm she asked for.
"We have a special today miss, if you buy 5 charms you get a discount but if you buy 10 charms you get 2 of them free and a discount." She said to Amu. The charms weren't that expensive and she could get Ikuto and herself a pair of matching charms.
"Ok, I'll tell you once I have chosen." Amu told the lady
"We have all the charms in the catalogue just pick out the ones you like" Amu started to choose which charms she wanted for her and Ikuto. Once she finished choosing she ended up with 15 charms. Since the sales lady could see that she couldn't decide which charms to give up decided to give her 3 of them free. Amu couldn't believe it at first but thanked her so much. The charms for Ikuto were all placed on a key chain, the strings holding it had all different lengths so it wasn't hard to notice it while Amu's was on a bracelet. Each of them got 7 charms each while the other one was split into the two of them. It was a heart that said 'Amuto', Amu had it made in the shop when she heard about their special sale. After paying and having it placed in a nice box Amu left with a big smile on her face. She can't wait to give Ikuto his little present, but still Amu knew this was nothing compared to all the gifts he has given her. Sometimes Amu feels guilty with the gifts Ikuto buys her because it's always so nice and expensive, sometimes she even questions why Ikuto choose a girl like her out of all the girls he could have. But Ikuto always knew what to do whenever Amu was like this, he knew what to say and what to do just to bring the smile back to her face.
Amu felt her phone vibrate from inside her bag; she brought it out and answered it.
"Yes Utau?" Amu said. She didn't even need to look because she knew Ikuto was still in practice, Rima was on a date with Nagi, Yaya was busy baby-sitting and Kukai was spending time with his family so the only left would be Utau.
"Where are you?" Utau asked.
"By the fountain." Amu replied.
"Wait there we'll come and get you" Utau said before hanging up. Amu sat at the end of the fountain waiting for Utau and Souka. All the charms on her bracelet represent Ikuto in a way and the last charm, which is a pair with his, it was special to her. She was to busy playing with her charms that she didn't see Utau and Souka approach her.
"Amu. Hey Amu" Utau said.
"Ah- Sorry Utau" Amu said with a smile. She grabbed her bag and the other bags she was carrying and stood up.
"Where did you get that bracelet Amu?" Souka asked. Amu looked at her hand before replying.
"I'm not sure of the name but they were having a special" Amu said with a smile. She really didn't know the name and it wasn't on the bag either. She was distracted with the charms to even notice the name of the store.
"It's fine. We got you some more clothes. Lets just get something to eat then head home?" Souka said. Utau was the one who choose everything they got for Amu.
"Sure" Utau and Amu replied together. They went to the food court and got some crepes for them to take home and eat with Artuo and Ikuto.
Once back in the Tsukiyomi mansion, Ikuto and Artuo greeted them by the door and to Utau's surprise Kukai was their as well.
"Welcome back! How was your shopping trip?" Artuo asked them, knowing full well of the answer.
"We had so much fun. How was Ikuto at rehearsals today?" Souka asked and answered.
"He's getting there." Artuo replied. He had to leave Souka first since the driver was asking her where he should put the shopping bags. Souka just told him to leave it in the living room since she still needs to sort them out. Artuo, Ikuto, Amu, Kukai and Utau all followed Souka and the driver into the living room. Once the driver placed all the bags on the floor he left. Souka started opening the bags and dumping everything on the floor. They didn't have it sorted in the shops because they knew it would take to much time and they wouldn't have enough time to shop. Amu didn't bother helping at all since, one Ikuto's arms we're around her waist and two Ikuto wouldn't let her help either way. The maids brought in the crepes they brought home, good thing Amu told them they should buy one more in case someone gets hungry.
"Mom how much clothes did you buy?" Ikuto asked as he ate the slice of crepe that Amu fed him.
"I'm not sure, their were a lot of new shops that opened and Amu left us for a while so me and Utau just bought clothes that would look good on her" Souka replied while folding some clothes and putting it in a pile. Once Utau was finished she started to help her mom sort out the clothes, but for Amu, Ikuto still wouldn't let her go.
"Finished! Amu go try this on!" Utau said. She pulled Amu away from Ikuto and handed her the dress then pushing her to the bathroom.
"Try it on Amu, you weren't with use when we bought it so we won't know if it looks good on you." Utau said again. Amu just let out a sigh and went to change. Ikuto glared at Utau but she gave him a wink which meant it was suppose to make him happy so he returned her wink with his smirk.
'What did I get myself into?! I want to give Ikuto his gift already.' Amu said while changing. She didn't bother looking at the mirror anymore since she wants to finish this already. She stepped out and went straight to the living room. Everyone was busy talking before Amu stepped in, the room suddenly feel silent scaring Amu. She turned to Ikuto and he had his signature smirk on his face scaring Amu.
"It looks so good on you!" Utau and Souka said in union. Amu turned around and saw her reflection. She was wearing a skintight midnight blue dress, it was mid thigh and showed some cleavage it had no sleeves and it was backless as well.
"Utau! Why did you get me this?!" Amu complained.
"I really don't know but when I saw it I thought of you immediately" Utau said with a smile on her face. Amu was furious with her. She was about to say something but Ikuto lifted her bridal style surprising her.
"I-Ik-Ikuto put me down!" Amu protested but it all fell to deaf ears.
"Your stuff has already been brought to his room" Souka said following up since Ikuto and Amu were already out of the living room.
Ikuto didn't bother listening to Amu's protest and just proceeded up the stairs. He went straight to his room so he and Amu could have some private time. The maids and butlers were already use to this since it happens on a daily basis. Once in the room Ikuto placed Amu down on the bed and laid down next to her.
"Finally! Ikuto don't do that ever again!" Amu said as she turned to face Ikuto.
"But you liked it Amu-kio" Ikuto teased and sat up. Amu couldn't help but blush, Ikuto knew he won this round and smirked before pulling Amu down with him to lay down on the bed.
"Bully-" Amu didn't bother finished her sentence anymore and just hid her face in
Ikuto's chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him.
"Oh before I forget I got you something." Amu said while sitting up. She reached for the paper bags at the side of Ikuto's bed until she felt the one she wanted. She handed it to Ikuto and gave him a kiss on the cheek after.
"Thank you" Ikuto said and opened the bag and pulled out a nice looking box. He opened it and saw key chain, each string holds a charm that he knew it had a meaning to it. He looked towards Amu and saw a blush on her face.
"What's with the sudden gift Amu-kio~?" Ikuto asked moving closer to her.
"I...um-... I just….wanted...to...give...you...something" Amu replied hiding her blush. Ikuto smirked and pulled her to his lap. Amu opened her hands and Ikuto placed the key chain on her hand.
"Each charm represent me and the last charm is a pair to mine." Amu said showing Ikuto the charms, he seemed to get it know. He reached for his violin, which is on the other side of the bed and placed it on the bed. Amu moved out of his lap and hooked the key chain on the violin case.
"Thank you Amu" Ikuto said and kissed the back of her head. Amu pulled Ikuto down along with her and closed her eyes, she was already tired from her shopping trip and wanted nothing more then to take a nap. Tomorrow she would be leaving for the States with Ikuto, Utau, Artuo and Souka. Her parents are ok with it since adults will be there with her.
