Hello to all! I hope you enjoy chapter 3 I'm super glad this story is going the way I want for once! Anyway here we go!

(Amu Pov.)

Light shined threw my eyelids, bidding me to awake. I sat up in bed and looked over to my vanity. I got up and moved my hair from my neck, checking for any marks.

Nothing.

I wondered if I had finally gone crazy and just imagined all that. Then I remembered the pain and the terror. I shook my head rapidly and looked straight in the mirror. "Ok so the bastard got me twice…I just won't go that way home anymore!" I shouted to myself.

"Amu, honey, who is that you're talking to?" My mother shouted from downstairs.

"I'm…uh…on the telephone!" I shouted in response.

'I need to quit talking to myself.'

(The next day)

I put on my bathing suit, which was a daring bikini my friend had picked out. It was black with red hearts on the butt and breast. I had liked it enough to buy it. I slipped on a light pink dress that ended at my knees and my khaki long bag and a pair of sandals. I was ready for my next outing with ikuto! Not to mention today was Saturday, meaning no work!

Ikuto had called yesterday, asking to go to the beach. He asked if I could bring a friend since he was bringing Utau. I decided to call Tadase since I haven't seen him since school let out. He seemed over excited that I called. He hung up before I got to tell him there would be more people there.

I excitedly rode my bike to the beach we promised to meet at. I saw Utau first and walked over to her.

"H-Hello Utau-san." I said and smiled.

She just glared threw her sunglasses and turned away, to my dismay. I just sighed and looked for Ikuto.

I saw him, and to be honest, my mouth dropped a little. I mean, I knew he was handsome but watching him march over shirtless, in swim trunks, He was…sexy. I do curse myself for thinking that too.

He waved over at me like a child and once he was a few feet next to me, I felt myself smiling like an idiot. The light shined over his six pack, perfectly.

'Oh god…it's like I'm a pervert.' I thought. I shook my head and smiled.

"Hello Ikuto, Nice day huh?" I asked him.

He smiled that goofy smile and replied with "Why it sure is, Miss Hinamori." He even bowed. I could see Utau flaming with anger.

"Amu-chan!" I heard from behind me, but before I could look back to see who called my name, said man's arm was already around mine.

It was Tadase, being as nice as ever.

"Hi Tadase-kun! Oh these are my friends. This is Utau and Ikuto." I motioned to them both.

I heard ikuto mumble something like "friends…and kun?"

"Since we're all together now, let's go set up the towel and umbrella on the beach." I said with a laugh threw the awkward silence.

We walked to the near end of the beach, by the water, and set up base.

Utau took off her wrap and unshielded her bathing suit. I thought I should do the same and grabbed the ends of my dress and pulled them over my head. I shook the hair out of my face to see Tadase blushing like a mad fool and Ikuto leering at me like a pervert.

Somehow…Ikuto's leering made me way more self conscious than Tadase's blushing.

"A-A-Amu-chan, what are you doing?" Tadase stuttered

"What do you mean? I want to go swimming. So naturally I would take off my dress unless I want it to get wet." I laughed.

Tadase smiled back and literally took me in. It was seriously creeping me out, until I noticed Ikuto. His look actually took me back. He was glaring daggers at Tadase so hard, it gave me shivers. I had never seen Ikuto look so scary, almost looked like-

"HEY, how about we go to the café?" Ikuto asked and threw my dress back at me so hard I almost fell back at impact.

"HEYYY!" I shouted back in pain.

At the café, we were ordering our drinks. Ikuto ordered another fruity drink.

"And you want that with ice?" Our waiter asked.

"Yes, A lot of ice." Ikuto replied, to my surprise. I stared at him for a minute, until he looked at me and blinked like an idiot.

"Amu, is something the matter?" He put on that goofy smile and tilted his head.

I shook my head, not just to answer his question. I actually thought that my attacker had been Ikuto for a minute. That dark, scary, forceful vampire who had bitten me twice already.

After a while, Utau and Tadase started talking and Ikuto and I had started talking.

"So Amu, What exactly is yours and Tadase-Chan's relationship?" He smiled and I had to laugh that he called him "chan".

"Tadase and me?" I pondered the idea for a couple of minutes and finally replied with "He's been a good friend of mine since sixth grade. We're really not anything more than that." I blushed.

'I am such a moron. Could I be any more obvious that I like Ikuto and I DON'T like Tadase?' I thought and blushed even harder.

Ikuto propped his head on his hand and grinned "Your face is red." He said.

I laughed like an idiot and shot back "Ohhh well you know. It's so hot out and…and…" I laughed again.

I looked to Tadase for help, Tadase ACTUALLY looked away from me. I don't blame him either, I asked him out to the beach and now I'm totally ignoring him.

I sipped my drink dry.

I walked my bike home, it was now dusk. Our group had departed a little bit ago. I was beyond tired at this point and I now had to walk all the way across town, fearing for my life. I looked to the nearest convenience store and parked my bike and went in. I looked around and finally found what I wanted. I had garlic, a cross necklace, and a flashlight in my shopping cart. I checked out at the register and got some weird looks from the cashiers. I put on the necklace and put the garlic in my bag, flashlight in hand. I didn't care if I looked crazy at this point.

Oh, I was ready.

I sped through half the town and finally took a break at the side of a side street. I panted and sat down and closed my eyes for a MOMENT and opened them to guess who?

Mr. Vampire.

His face was an inch from mine and I had to gasp, though there was no light on this street, his sapphire eyes glowed. I wasn't going to let him bite me again, so I grabbed my cross necklace and yelled without hesitation

"MAY THE POWER OF…uh CHRIST REPELL YOU!" I cried as loud as I could.

I think Americans could hear him laugh. I got pissed that he laughed so hard so I threw garlic at him, and the flashlight.

To my dismay, he grabbed the necklace, still around my neck and ripped it off. I flinched too as he did it.

"These things don't work on us." He smirked and got closer, to which I back against a fence.

"Don't worry, I am not going to bite you, tonight at least." He smirked against the nape of my neck and continued with "I'm still full from last time you gave me blood."

Barely breathing I stuttered out, "I-I didn't…Give it to you. You took it from me and it…hurt…" my eyes tearing up at this point.

"I could be gentle if you let me, but I probably won't." He laughed a throaty laugh too.

I struggled against his formidable strength. "If you didn't come here to…to bite me…why did you come?" I asked, truly curious.

He drew back and stared me in the eye, oh how I wished to see what he looked like.

"I wanted to be able to see you when I'm like this." He said, completely serious.

I felt something then, It was so warm, yet with a chill came to my every nerve. I thought he had bit me at first, but I didn't go numb like the first time he had done it.

I knew it then, he was…kissing me. My head was screaming for me to fight back, but I didn't want to. I wanted to accept it, with my all. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

'No! Nooo! Stop this…This feeling is taking my brain over as well as my heart.' Every nerve in my body felt alive, unlike the dull feelings I usually have. It hurts as well as feels like the most amazing thing you'll ever feel. It took everything I have, everything I might ever have, to shove him off of me, and my lips. I did smell a light musk though, a very intoxicating smell.

He was gone the second I pushed him away, only I didn't have the luxury of passing out. I had to walk my dazed ass home and go to bed. I might have gone to bed, but I didn't sleep.

'I would rather be bitten than have that happen again.' I thought as I wrapped my hands around my head and drifted off.
