Geri: Grrrr...I had chapter three all saved and shit...
Chapter 3: Keeping the Secret
~*Amu's pov*~
"Hinamori Amu, to the main office facilities!" A voice boomed on the intercom.
It was late Saturday morning, maybe around 10 o'clock or so, and I turned over in bed. Last night had been rough, Takanari had come home with his knuckles bleeding and I tried my best to treat them. When he went to sleep, he kept yelling in his sleep about random things like "I love you, dammit," or "Please don't misunderstand!," or even "I didn't want to hurt you like this!". It was hard to watch him like that, but I kept wondering who he was dreaming of..I got dressed in some short jean shorts and a pink and red stripped t-shirt that showed off my pale shoulders. I arrived at the office in about 10 minutes, talked to the receptionist from my first day, and was directed to one of my classrooms. It was Nikaidou-sensei.
"Hello, Himamori-san!" His smile was crooked and he scratched his head.
"Hinamori-san." I corrected.
"Yes, yes. Anyway," He motioned to the student. "He will be tutoring you in all the subjects you have missed this last semster before you enrolled here."
The student turned around and smiled at me, "Nice to see you again, Hinamori-san."
"T-Tsukiyomi-kun will be my teacher?" I couldn't believe it, that pervert would be my teacher.
"Yes, that isn't a problem, right?" Ikuto sneered at me.
"Uh..I guess not..." OF COURSE IT WAS A PROBLEM!
"Well then, I'll leave the rest to you, Tsukiyomi-san," Nikaidou-sensei replied.
"We'll behave, I'll take her to the one of the Gold Rank Study Rooms."
No. No. NO! I couldn't be alone with him! "Uhm, I'd prefer to study in here!"
"Hinamori-san, this classroom is already reserved for another study group. So just follow, Tsukiyomi-san." With that he left us alone.
"Don't worry, I won't bite." He laughed, he had his geek costume again; I wouldn't fall for that again.
"Whatever, let's just get this over with."
We went up the stairs and entered a dimly lit study room with a large wooden table in the middle with two computers. Ikuto sat down in front of the bigger computer and started to type up some papers. He then sent the files to the other computer, the computer I presumed to be where I was suppose to sit.
"So what are you going to teach me?"
"Nothing. I just gave you the basic outline of all we learned. The important stuff that's always questioned. Just memorize that."
"Uhm..ok." I read the computer screen and sure enough there was a pretty plain outline of what I was suppose to learn on it. I fidgeted slightly and kept looking at the computer screen. "Thanks."
"No problem, Amu-chan."
"Don't call me that."
"Why not?"
"Because we're not friends. Only friends can call me "Amu-chan"." I said bluntly.
"Uh huh." He said, typing nosily sending me more articles.
"Uhm...about yesterday...I'm sorry."
"Hm?" His eyes meeting mine.
"I'm sorry for interupting you and Miyu-san yesterday."
"Not your fault, I shouldn't have been so public about it. But you seemed so awkward at seeing such a thing. Don't tell me you're a virgin!" He laughed.
"No...I'm not. But I didn't lose it of free will."
"What do you mean," He replied his eyes narrowing.
"What do you think I mean? I was raped, Idiot." It was amazing how easily I could say that fact.
"Oh." Ikuto seemed at a loss of words.
Ding! I looked down at my computer and saw a single chat bubble come up, blinking crazily.
The_Smex: Sorry.
Guest982: It's ok. I typed back.
The_Smex is writing...
The_Smex: I know how you feel.
Guest982: How?
The_Smex: I had to watch my Mom be raped by some bitch.
Guest982: Oh...I'm so sorry.
The_Smex: The past is in the past. Anyway time's up. Let's see your work.
Ikuto walked over to my side with a smirk on his face
"What?"
"Let's play a little game."
"What?"
"For everytime you get a problem wrong, I get to kiss you wherever I like."
"As if I'd play." I chuckled.
"Oh, you will play."
"Why would I?"
"I'll tell Sensei you didn't study at all and Sensei always listens to the Gold Rank students."
I almost choked, "Y-You're a Gold Rank?"
"Surprised?"
"I...Uh...UGH. FINE."
Ikuto smiled and leaned over my shoulder to look at my work. "Wrong. This should be the square root of two because the triangle is a special triangle. You used the pythagorean theorem, which is WRONG." He wrote down how to work the problem.
"But I used the Pythagorean Theorem on all the problems." I croaked looking at the other problems I had worked on.
"That was twenty problems of wrong answers then." Ikuto looked at me lustfully.
"Uhm..." Ikuto turned my chair around so that my body faced his.
"So, Amu, time to pay up."
"O-Ok.." I replied blushing horribly.
Ikuto kissed my cheek softly and to my surpise it felt sort of nice. "One."
After my cheek, he kissed my forehead, "Two."
"Three," He chuckled and kissed the tip of my nose.
"Four," Ikuto kissed my hair.
"Five." His hands roamed my forearms and Ikuto kissed my lips lightly.
"Six." He then kissed my neck a bit more greedily.
"Seven." His lips brushed against my bare shoulder.
"Eight." He kissed my hand and looked at my now flushed face.
"Nine." He kissed my other hand.
"Ten." He kissed my chest and I pushed him away.
"T-Tsukiyomi-kun, Stop!" I exclaimed.
"You still have ten more to go." And he repeated his last ten actions, but in a different order.
"Study harder, Strawberry." Ikuto chuckled and ruffled my hair.
"Don't worry." I murmured studying the problems again.
To no avail, though, I still got 30% of the porblems I had recieved wrong and I cursed all the kisses Ikuto had got to give me. When the study session was over Ikuto, thankfully, told me there would be no more sessions after this one since we covered everything. THANK YOU. I raced to my dorm room and knocked over Takanari.
"I'm sorry!"
"It's ok, I don't mind."
I finally realized that I was lying on top of him with our noses barely touching. Quickly, I got off him and hugged my knees. Takanari ruffled my hair and laughed at me.
"Don't be so embaressed, stupid."
"Shut up!"
"Whatever."
"Gr."
"You're so cute." Takanari laughed, but then quickly stopped.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Uh huh."
"Do..Do you want to go somewhere?"
"Seriously?"
"Sure, I mean it is Saturday so why not?"
"I'd love to!" I beamed and went into our room to change.
After we both got ready for our outing, we headed to his neon blue convertable and drove for what seemed like hours before he stopped. I looked at the large building before me, it was an old worn out studio that seemed to be over looking the town from the hill on which it sat on.
"What is this place?"
"This is where I go to dance when I just want to think."
"It's so quiet here." I marveled.
"Not when I'm blaring my music!" He laughed and took my hand in his.
Peeking at our intertwined hands, I smiled, "Well, aren't you going to show me inside?"
"Of course, after you." He motioned with his other hand.
"Thank you." I walked on in and was awe struck.
The outside is so decieving, inside the actual building was a glorious decor that screamed upper-classman! There was a single glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the whole room. The tiny diamond pieces that hung off it looked like snowflakes suspended in time.
"So shall I dance for you?"
"Sure!"
I watched Takanari preform various dance styles such as b-boying, the douggie, ballet, samba, waltz (he got me to dance with him..), and various others. His body moved so easily flowing with the music as if it was a sixth sense. He got tired after 2 hours of straight dancing and I offered him a bottle of water.
"Thanks..." He puffed and dubbed his face with a towel.
"That was quite an exercise."
"You know it! It's good for you and your chubby tummy!" He chuckled.
"I am NOT chubby!" I pouted.
"I'm just joking, Bubble Gum!" He laughed hard and ruffled my hair.
"Hmph."
"I'd like to hear you sing.."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah!"
"Uhm..Ok.."
"Well...go ahead."
I took a deep breath and sang the first song that came to mind:
(Daji na Takarabako~All rights reserved to Rightful Owner!)
"Namima wo suberu you ni shiroi YOTTO maru de origami
Nai de kaze ni makasete doko he iku no? Chicchaku natte
Konna soba ni iru noni kimochi ni wa sawarenai
Shinjisasete HONTO no futari wo tashikamete
Takarabako no KAGI akete ageru yo SUNAO ni nareru
Modokashii omoi tsuyoi yuuki ni kawatte iku yo
Zutto suki to ieru
Asayake ni somaru hoho ryoute kureta ano hi no you ni

Mou namida no ato wa mayowanai
Takarabako no KAGI akete ageru yo SUNAO ni nareru
Modokashii omoi tsuyoi yuuki ni kawatte iku yo
Motto suki to ieru.."
Takanari just sat next to and stared at me dumbfounded. Was I bad? What was wrong?
"Uhm, Takanari-kun?"
"You were...amazing." He breathed.
"Thanks."
"No problem...I'd love to hear you sing again sometime."
"Whenever you want." I smiled at him and, again, got toally concious of how close we were to each other. I moved over a little, but he moved with me.
"Do I make you feel uncomfortable?" His tone sounded hurt.
"No, quite the oppisite." That was truth at least.
"Good." His face was so close to mine; I could feel his soft breathing. Steady and calm.
"T-Takanari-kun?"
He snapped out of his weird trance and moved back. "S-Sorry!"
"I-It's ok." I stammered looking down at my lap.
"S-So should we head home?"
"Sure."
"Ok, uhm...after you." Takanari mumbled holding the door out for me.
"Thanks," I replied and kissed his cheek.
His face went red like mine would have been and he tried to smile, "N-No problem."
We got home around six thirty and were both tired from all the recent events. I decided to make him noodles and after dinner we sat together on the couch and watched some TV. Not too long after did Takanari fall asleep and started to murmur random statements.
"Takanari!" I shook him a bit.
"No...don't go! Come back..."
"Takanariiii!"
"Kana..." Kanate?
"I love you..." As in LOVE her...? No that couldn't be...of course he loved Kanate. She was his sister. Unconciously, Takanari hugged me and kissed me. I pulled away and covered my mouth. That did not just happen.
"TAKANARI!" I yelled.
"Uh...what...uhm..huh?" He replied groggily.
"You were sleeep talking." I mumbled.
"Oh...sorry."
"I-It's ok."
"What did I say?"
"Nothing important."
"Ok."
"Was it a bad dream?"
"Heh, one of my worst." He gave me a small smile.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Can you keep a secret?" He asked walking toward our room.
"Of course!" I replied turning off the TV.
"Well, come in here." I did and sat on my bed facing him.
"A year or two before, I...I dated Kanate, little sister."
"As in, Incest?"
"Yeah."
"Wow." That was a shocker, but it wasn't like I haven't heard cases of incest.
"I know what you must be thinking. What a creep!" His head hung low.
"No, that's not what I'm thinking. So what happened?"
"I realized it was wrong to be in love with her...that it just wouldn't work out, so I broke her heart."
"That's terrible." No wonder Kanate seemed so mad, but protective of him.
"Yeah..and it was not too long after we did it."
"You had sex with Kanate?"
"I lost my virginity to her."
"That must have really torn her apart." I couldn't believe I just said that so insenstively. "Sorry."
"No, it's ok, it did. I just sat back and watched."
"I take it that you still love her."
"Yeah, a sin, really."
"No, it's not. And she obviously still loves you."
"I know that, but I can't bring her down that road again. She could do so much better than me."
"You're a really good guy...putting her first. Regardless of if she's your sister or more than that."
"Thanks for not judging."
"No problem, everyone has one secret they wouldn't like anyone to know."
"So, this is going to stay between us?"
"Yeah." A smile crept on his face.
"Thanks.."
"No problem...so have you tried getting over her?"
"Yeah...and it's working little by little."
"Is that a good or bad thing?"
"I honestly don't know."
I went over to him and kissed his forehead, "You'll figure it out."
"W-We should go to sleep."
"Ok, good night."
"Good night, Amu."
Geri: Wooow. I feel sorta lazy so im not gonna proof read this time xp so sorry for the mistakes!
Amu: Too much kissing bleh.
Ikuto: Don't complain.
Geri: review :)
