Hey you guys and gals I am back. Thanks for checking this story out!
Who?
The rest of the week passed quickly for me. Apparently I was the only one left with chara characters. Rima told me that she tried out for a stand up comedy show and was accepted and at that moment her chara vanished. Tadase said that he lost his as soon as he joined a group that worked to save the earth's environment. I sighed and continued walking to my destination.
Today was Saturday and my entire class was meeting at the water park near the airport for some reason. My bangs were pulled back in a plain brown hair tie while the rest of my hair rested a little past my shoulders. I was wearing a short sleeved shirt that was mostly bright pink until a few inches before the bottom it was black. On the left side of the shirt from top to bottom a white flower design flows gracefully and I wore a thin gold belt diagonally. The top of the belt was on the right and then ended on the left side. I wore jean shorts that were just a little shorter than 7- inches above the knee and simple gold sandals.
As I reached the entrance I found Nagihiko about to give his ticket to enter. "Hey Nagihiko," I shouted and waved. He turned around and waved back with a smile as I ran up to the ticket booth and handed them my ticket.
"Hey Amu how are your knees feeling," Nagihiko asked.
"Fine as long as the water doesn't touch it. Though I can go swimming because of water proof Band-Aids," I reply excitedly.
"I'm surprised you're not mad at me anymore for not telling you about my charas," he asked delicately.
My face still smiled, but it did not reach my eyes. "No I'm not mad anymore I just needed time to think alone. Sorry I worried everyone," I said apologizing. We walked toward the meeting place and found our whole class eating ice cream. Suddenly I remembered the time I went shopping with Tadase and he bought me ice cream. I blushed as I remember when Ikuto showed up and I fell in his lap and we both licked the same ice cream to keep it from dripping.I fell out of the trance when the man asked me what flavor.
"Chocolate, please," I answered and handed over the right amount of money. I licked the ice cream while Kane sensei gave a long lecture on behaving properly, but wanted us to have lots of fun.
"Hey Amu what do you want to do first when this lecture is over," Nagihiko asked.
"We could go to the tidal pool or the one with a current and you go around in circles," I whispered back.
"Okay class you may go, but I want all of us to meet back here for lunch at 12:30 P.M.," Kane sensei finished. All of the kids left in groups to go to the changing rooms.
"See you," Nagihiko said as he left.
"Okay," I replied.
I took off my clothes and underneath them was my bathing suit. It was a baby blue grayish color bikini with a pink Hibiscus flower on the top. "Hey are you Amu Hinamori," a girl with black silky hair and dark brown eyes asked.
"No I am not, but who are you," I asked. Something was weird about her she was not from my class and she was definitely not asking nicely.
"Heh you're lying to me aren't you girl," she smirked.
"Wow isn't that rude of you! And if you already knew why ask," I shot back.
"I had to make sure it was you if not I would get in trouble, but that isn't your business," she said about to walk away.
"Hey wait at least give me your name that is if you have any manners," I called out.
"My name is Azami Hina and aren't you the one without manners," she replied then left.
"Hmm the name suits her," I think to myself. (Azami means flower of a thistle)
I left the changing room to find Nagihiko waiting for me near the shade. "Hey sorry about the wait some random girl came up and talked to me," I said as I ran over to the shade.
"That's ok so did you decide what you want to do first," he asked.
"Umm how about you decide," I replied. Nagihiko decided he wanted to go to the tidal wave pool first so we walked over to it. "Wow it sure is crowded right now," I said as a sweat drop fell.
"Lets go in anyway it should be fun," Nagihiko said holding my hand and leading the way.
"Hey you know Nagihiko you are a lot like your sister Nadeshiko," I said smiling. He let go of my hand as soon as we made it to be near the waves were quite tall.
Many of the younger kids had floating tubes that kept bumping into me. "Amu I'm going to go farther in. Do you want to stay there," Nagihiko said and asked me.
"Yeah it's already crazy enough for me over here," I shouted back. He nodded his head and left into the crowd. The waves were pretty big and strong from where I was; causing lots of little kids to scream with joy. I saw a really big wave coming just as a kid in a tube shoved me out of her way. The wave crashed over me and I couldn't find an empty space to pop up. It seemed like the place was getting even more crowded. I tried to swim up and make space, but there were too many tubes and so little space. All I could do was stick a hand up between the tubes and wave. All of the air escaped my lungs as another wave hit the people above. The last thing I saw was a bunch of tubes. Damn those tubes.
I open my eyes to find myself staring at Ikuto's face. Am I dreaming I thought to myself? Isn't he supposed to be gone off in some foreign country? He only called me three times to talk. He told me he loved me before he left. Tadase has been spending lots of time with me because of that. Which guy do I like? No. Which guy do I love? "Amu Amu can you hear me," Ikuto asked.
"What Ikuto! Why are you here," I asked quietly. His worried expression turned into a smile of relief when I answered.
"I'll answer that later, but I am taking you home," he replied picking me up bridal style. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nagihiko gasp.
"Hey what are you doing I can walk now," I told him blushing a deep shade of red.
"No you can't just a minute ago I saved you from drowning Amu," Ikuto answered. He gave me a kiss on my cheek making my blush turn another shade of red.
After I changed into my clothes I met him out of the changing room. I felt a little dizzy so I leaned my head on his chest. "I can hear your heart beat Ikuto," I commented. I looked up to see Ikuto's face having a slight blush and a lovely smile. "Wow it's rare to see him blush," I thought to myself.
"Are you dizzy," he asked me. I knew I would regret it, but I couldn't walk it took too much energy. I nodded my head. He picked me up again and this time my blush started to lighten. "Where do you want to go," Ikuto asked me.
"To the past," I said half jokingly.
He looked down at me and sighed, "I can't take you there though," he said playing depressed.
I chuckle before saying, "How about the park," I asked playfully.
"A specific one or just one in general," Ikuto looked down and asked.
Damn Ikuto! He seemed to have become even sexier (How is that possible?). His hair was the same blue color of the night sky and some of his hair fell in front of his eyes. Ikuto was wearing a black shirt with an unbuttoned jean jacket on top. He wore a dark blue jean pants and a dog tag around his neck. His eyes were a few shades lighter than his hair and captivated me. As we reached the park Ikuto set me down on the ground and one of my sandals fell off. I picked it up and put it back on my foot before looking back into Ikuto's eyes. "So have you found out your dream yet," Ikuto asked me.
"No. Have you already found your father," Amu asked.
"Not really I just found hints of where he used to reside then I found a trail leading back to Japan," he answered.
"So I still have a chance of winning don't I," I asked Ikuto.
"Winning what do you mean," Ikuto's eyebrows rose up slightly.
"Don't you remember we are competing to see who finds their dream or dad first," I said twirling around.
"I thought I told you before I left that you won because I love you," Ikuto said with a smile.
Ikuto's point of View
"Hey you didn't smirk at me," Amu said with the most beautiful smile on her face.
"Why would I smirk at you," I asked innocently.
"Ah you're such a liar," Amu said fake pouting. I was laughing and she punched my shoulder playfully.
"Amu have you kissed anyone yet," I asked her. I could see her face flush red. My gosh she was just so cute I wanted her to be mine so bad.
"N- no I haven't why are you asking," she answered nervously. I could feel my cheeks flush which shocked me so I started to act like my old self to cover it up.
"So Amu how about I be your first kiss," I said stepping closer to her my head bending down. Amu blushed horribly and took two small steps back. Just as I was about to kiss her Tadase ran up and gave me a hug making me lose my balance. I was farther away from Amu and she composed herself back to normal.
"Hey Ikuto I didn't know you were back in Japan," Tadase said acting all cute in front of Amu. Damn Tadase he did this on purpose.
I glared at Tadase before asking, "So how did you find out I was back and where I was?"
"Nagihiko texted me that he saw you at the water park once you rescued Amu from drowning," Tadase replied.
"That still doesn't explain how you found us," I replied annoyed.
"Hey Nagihiko," Amu shouted as Nagihiko walked over to talk with her.
"You had Nagihiko follow us," I questioned Tadase.
"No. Nagihiko and I were going to meet at this park and we ran into you two here," Tadase answered.
"Hey you guys it's getting late so I am gonna go home," Amu interrupted.
"I'll walk you home," I said before Tadase could get the chance to.
"That's okay it isn't that far from here and I am meeting up with a friend later," Amu said determined to go home alone.
"Who is it," Tadase asked.
"Oh it's Yaya. We just wanted to talk and hang out," Amu replied.
"Well then I also must also go. I need to find Utau and my mom," I said walking by and liking my arm with one of Amu's.
"Hey Ikuto what are you doing," Amu asked me.
"Taking you home safely of course," I replied.
"I said I'm fine," she said with a slight blush.
"So have you dated Tadase yet," I asked hoping the answer was no.
"What well n- no, but we did date for a while until he found out I was lying to him," she replied and was fiddling with her shirt.
"Wait when was this," I asked concerned. I hope it wasn't that time at her house when I hurt her and Tadase.
"Well it's over now and I don't even know why I told you that much," Amu responded.
"Maybe it's because you trust me and because you want to make out," I replied only half joking.
"Ik-Ikuto stop it," Amu said blushing.
I laughed aloud and replied, "Well how about you give me a kiss on the cheek and we can call it even."
"Maybe someday," Amu replied.
"Does that mean I have a chance," I asked my spirits rising. Amu turned around before entering her house and the expression on her face was a sad small smile. It made my heart break looking at that expression on her face. Before I knew it the door was shut and I was standing outside alone.
Regular point of View
Amu went straight up to her room and flopped down onto her bed like a salmon. Who did she like? She was confused with herself. How was she supposed to know who she truly likes? Plus if she isn't sure who she likes why should she date? "Right now I am still confused," Amu screamed to herself in her head. "The time would come if I wait patiently," Amu thought to herself before falling asleep.
