´Who are you? Are you a cosplayer? I didn't know we still had those these days." Amu stated. Her Cool n' Spicy persona had instinctively kicked in. She couldn't it anymore than she could help being born with pink hair. The cat-boy said nothing to this, and leaned down close to her, his face inches from her. "You know, it's rude to not introduce yourself when you meet someone new, Strawberry." The cat- boy didn't move his face away from Amu's, causing her to blush as if her life depended on it.
This seemed to encourage the cat-boy, as he leaned further in and whispered" Or we could just skip past the introductions and straight to the kissing, Strawberry." This caused her to blush harder and stutter" What are you a pervert now, as well as a cosplayer? And my name's not Strawberry, it's Amu.'
Now it seems that I'll have to explain this "cosplayer' bit. You see the boy Amu had run into had a set of blue working cat ears and tail. He seems to favor the color black, though. His long pants, shirt, and shoes were all black with a light blue outlining and crosses on the ends of his collar. What's more his hair was blue! But to most of us his best feature is his eyes. They're a shade of cobalt that you can only find on a rare summer night after twilight, but before the inky blackness of night. Sigh, he's so handsome... But enough fangirling! Back to the story!
She backed up, nearly tripping over the bracken. The cat-boy took a step back, and seemed to sniff the air with his nose. Don't worry; it was a normal human nose. 'Do you happen to have eggs with you?" Amu, responded by whacking him in the face with basket, and taking off running. This guy wasn't about to take her grandmother's food! He must be the thief that everyone was talking about.
Recently in Amu's village, a thief had been breaking into the fish and chocolate shops, and taking off with his stolen loot. Only Old Man McGreevy had seen him, saying" he was as dark as night, and as quicker than a cat with its tail on fire! As soon as I saw him I reached over for my torch and pitchfork. But when I turned back around, he was already gone!'
Unfortunately for our heroine, she was a little clumsy and couldn't run that fast in a cloak. As she tried in vain to escape this creepy cat, she tripped over a large log. She would have kissed the sweet dirt if she hadn't found herself in the arms of the one she was trying to run from in the first place. He easily scooped her up, girl, basket, cape and all into his arms.
Defying biology, Amu blushed harder. He said" You seriously need to work on your manners, Strawberry. And by the way, my name is Ikuto, not cosplayer. I'm a cat. And I'm hungry.' He shifted her around in his arms, avoiding her flailing limbs, to get the basket in her hands. Amu went from bridal style to being thrown over his shoulder. She gasped. No one had ever treated her like this before. Her too-big hood of her red cloak flopped over her head and covered her face. This freaked Amu out even more. She thrashed her arms and jean clad legs.
Amused at her struggle to escape him, he let her crash to the ground. Stunned, she lay on the ground for a moment. Then she sprang onto her feet. However, before she took for the hills, she noticed she didn't have her basket. She turned around to see Ikuto munching on the hardboiled eggs her mother had so lovingly made.' Hey! Give me back those eggs!" She tried to grab her basket, but Ikuto held it out of reach.
"Stop you cat thief!' came a chivalrous cry. They both looked over to see a blond woodsman with his ax. 'My name is Tadase-'he didn't get time to finish before Ikuto cheekily interrupted' I would love to stay and listen, but I have somewhere to be.' With that, Ikuto scooped up Amu bridal style again and took off through the treetops, with Tease's words whispering away with the wind.
HAHAHAHA! I left thee with a cliffhanger! This is a little longer than last time. I had to give Tease stage time, but I dislike him, so bye Tease! I like being the narrator. Usually I'm not too good at third person writing, but you guys seem to like it. Please review if you want to. Happy Memorial's Day Weekend! Please make it better and have a lovely day!
