Part 2
Volley of Unsaid Actions
by Meep Forever
"I felt as if they'd never change."
I brought the blankets of my bed closer to my huddled frizzy-haired, bleary-eyed self and sighed.
I just got back from my little adventure with Eru and Iru. Heh. 'Adventure.' doesn't even come close to describing it. More like force spying.
I recalled the truths revealed as I huddled in a bush of the Hotori household estate.
So, Tadase was wrong. Ikuto didn't kill Betty(Tadase's dog). He saved her.
And now I'm starting to realize why Ikuto is leaving. Just how deep his love for music goes.
'I know that he loves his music— that it is an unreplaceable part of his soul...'
I thought I understood that. But, I shuffled as I heard some activity from downstairs, I guess a girl of 12 years can't really understand the limitation of one's soul. Or how far off the boundaries go.
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, then a knock on my door. I stretched out of my cocoon of blankets and called whoever was at the door to 'come in' in my throaty dry voice I had left.
"Amu-chan?" My mother popped her head in and before I could even ask why she was here she lifted her arm up and motioned tothe open white cellphone in her hand.
My cellphone.
"Wha..?"
"You have a call honey. 'Utau' she says her name is," I jumped out of bed leaping to her as she continued, "– If I didn't know any better I would of said that it sounded like Utau Hoshina–
I grabbed the phone out of her hand and put my ear to the receiver. "Hello?!" my voice sounded breathless, I wonder what it sounds like at the other end of the phone...
"Amu?" The unmistakable stern voice of Utau Tsukiyomi spoke from the other line. I jumped a little at the aggravation in the tone. I quickly thanked mom before pushing her out and going back to my bed. I breathed in deeply, a hand on my chest as I calmed my nerves to expect the worse.
"Yes?"
"Gate 31, Terminal 2 at the Narita International Airport."
I was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
"Go there if you want to see Ikuto before he leaves."
Something sprung back to life as her words sunk in. I could see him! At least one more time...
My sight blurred at the edges as I nodded confidently, "Arigato, Utau-chan!"
"Hmph. Just get there before 1:35pm. That's when his flight departs."
"Okay!" I jumped of the bed and called to my Charas. I glanced at the electric clock on my desk and saw the time.
9:40 Am.
I rushed to get ready, picking out a dark pink short sleeve shirt with hearts on it, along with my pale blue light jacket. Miki groggily made me some nice black shorts and knee high black socks, while I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair as well wash my face.
The outfit was ready to go as I put it on and laughed as there were cat ears on the hood of my jacket. Paying no mind to that I put it on and as a last touch I put on my trademark red 'X' clip.
I went down the stairs in a rush(even jumping some steps) and begged to my confused parents and sister that I want to go to the Narita International Airport to say goodbye to a close friend.
After about 1 hour waiting for my family to get ready and another 3 hours riding in the car with traffic, I finally made it to the Airport with 20 minutes to get to the security checking area.
I didn't wait for my parents as I told them I have a cellphone and would call so they could locate me and bolted off into the terminal.
It turned out that finding Terminal 2 was not a walk in the park.
As I was running from one side of the terminal to the other I thought about how my life was changing, no matter what I did to stop or ignore the changes.
I remembered what I said to my charas;
'I felt as if they'd never change.'
The amusement park, Ikuto, my friends, me.
I thought of Ikuto and thought of what I said earlier, "He always understood me...and protected me...Just like a merry-go-round ...no matter how many times it goes around, you are always in the same place."
I remember our first meeting, falling in that construction pit, the first time I heard him play the violin, how he protected me from the 'x' eggs, when we met in an ally and how we eventually ended up in that small tea-cup ride, how he appeared out of nowhere in my bed one new-years day night.
Then him being controlled by Easter, learning of his past by unlocking my Humpty Lock, the sudden urge to hold him in my arms as I transformed into Amulet Diamond... the final battle with Easter and learning about Hikaru...
So many moments.
So many encounters.
I guess, slowly, I changed my view of him. That perverted cat-ear cosplay.
I considered him a friend.
'I don't know if these feelings are like, or love, or anything...I just don't know...'
But I recall that moment when I wanted to hold him, to love him...
I paused to look at a map, I was at the last of Terminal 1's gates, now to Terminal 2. Ran, Miki, and Su cheered me on as they told me to 'hurry up' and 'run faster' I growled at them.
I guess that feeling never left me if I'm here right now.
I dashed into Terminal 2 and cried out, exasperated; "The first Terminal, the second Terminal, this airport is so confusing! I'm totally lost!"
'Hurry hurry!~'
'You're late!'
'Amu-chan!' Ran called, waving her pom-poms in the air frantically, 'You're late! Ikuto's already gone!'
"What...?" I looked up from my heaving, despair filling me. "He's probably going through security right now?" I sprinted with all the energy I had left.
Ikuto!
Wait! I still haven't..!A crowd started forming around us, I looked around as I pushed through people.
"There are too many people...!" I pushed some more people out of the way, "How am I gonna get through?!"
"IKUTO!!" There's something I have to tell you...!
"Ikuto!" I called again as I jumped up to see him looking over in my direction when he spotted me waving frantically, something sparked in his sapphire blue eyes.
"Amu!"
"Ikuto you know...it's a contest now!" I yelled over the crowd, not caring if eyes started to stray to me. I smiled through my tears and continued, "I'm sure your father is out there! And I'll definitely find my True Self!" I continued to yell, moving past the last of the crowd, my smile at it's brightest as I giggled a little.
"So let's have a contest...to see who finds it first!"
I saw that smile. Ikuto's rare smile I've never really seen. His whole face brightened, eyes sparkling with something I couldn't place. But I knew.
It was in my eyes as well.
He walked up to me, not paying attention to the hollers of the police that were checking him.
He walked until he was standing right in front of me. I was wheezing for breath, bent down slightly, I looked up at him as he started to speak.
"I've already given in.
Because, I love you."
"Huh...?" I felt heat warm my cheeks.
I didn't have time to react as his hand reached out to me and brought my head close to his, the heat increased tenfold as I felt another, slightly wet, warmth on my right cheek.
And before I know it; it's gone.
"Wha...? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!" I put a hand on my cheek my face must be looking like a tomato by now, or a fire, as I felt the burning warmth increase if that was possible, spreading to my ears and neck.
"Wha-wah-what did...?!"
'So close...! A peck on the cheek!' I heard Miki yell over my racing heartbeat and muddled mind.
'But it was super close!' Ran added, as both of them blushed. And just by looking at what I experienced.
I heard a chuckle as Ikuto straightened up.
Not realizing I jumped back several feet I looked in his general direction and yelled, "J-just so you know, it's n-not as if I..." I faded off, trying to calm the warm fury on my cheeks, gathering my nerves I continued, "Li-li-like you, Ikuto!"
By the time all this happened, we were a spectacle. Gathering all the eyes around us.
That didn't help at all for my cheeks.
But I suddenly felt more confident as I switched over to my 'Cool&Spicy' persona;
"Th-that's right! Anyways I don't even know where you're going!" I could hear the murmurs of my Charas as they commented, 'Here we go again!' and 'Her stubbornness!'
"Hmm. Well then, I'll bet you something, too."
I looked up to see Ikuto bending down to see me eye-to-eye,
"I'll definitely make you fall in love with me. So prepare yourself." His trademark smirk in place, but eyes telling me that this was not a joke.
A strange feeling rushed through me, warming me to the tips of my toes as heat once again rushed back up to my face.
With that out in the open, whistles and cheers broke out from fellow young men all around as I straightened up when hearing; "Alright, Dude!" and "Go for it!" along with clapping.
"Y-you've got it all wrong! –Hey Ikuto, be careful-HEYYY!!!" I shouted as I saw the disappearing figure of Ikuto wave at me without looking back.
I sighed exasperated, and murmured, "Jeez, annoying up to the last second..." I heard a laugh from Ran and the others and smiled up to the window that can see planes departing.
As I saw Ikuto's depart while we were leaving and getting in the car, I yelled out,
"See you later! IKUTO...!"
~:Omake:~
"Amu-chan! You were seeing off a BOY?!" Tsumugu Hinamori promptly fainted.
"DAD!" I groaned as I entered the car. Getting ready for a lecture from Mom while Dad was out cold.
~+.+.+.X.+.+.+.~
Don't forget me.
Heh. As if I could.
