That Illegal Kiss... – Chapter 3/True Feelings Emerge
[Hi there again guys! This is chapter 3 for That Illegal Kiss... In the last chapter we left off after Kukai threatened to get Ikuto fired in his way to 'protect' Amu. Amu has no clue and is currently not talking to Ikuto after he blamed her for Kukai's accusations. Now Kukai and Amu are just inches away from kissing! This is starting to build up to be quite an intense story line, don't you think? ;) – Please R&R and remember I only own the storyline not Shugo Chara! Or any of the characters. Thanks xx]
'What?' she asks him with a confused look on her face. He grabs her around her waist before pulling her close to his body and staring into his eyes just inches away from them being intertwined in a kiss. 'Nothing...you just look so sexy like that...' He winks at her causing her to blush as they move in to kiss.
Amu looked up at Kukai before sighing and resting her head on his chest, he looked down at her with a slightly hurt look on his face. 'Is something wrong Amu?' he frowned as she snuggled up to his chest slightly more. 'I don't want us to keep kissing like we're boyfriend and girlfriend. To be fair we don't know each other all that well.' Amu says as Kukai sighs and hugs her closer to him.
'I suppose you are right. I guess I just need to keep in mind that if anything will happen between us it will be after sometime instead of just two days of us becoming true friends.' He replies as he kisses the top of her head. She smiles up at him as they share a relatively long hug in the cool evening breeze.
When the eventually decide to pull apart Amu takes his hand and leads him back inside of the house, after she shuts and locks her balcony doors they make their way down the hall towards Ami's room.
'You guys took a long time!' Ami pouted as Amu sat down next to her and Kukai sat opposite her at the small tea table. 'Sorry about that Ami, we just had some things to discuss about school. So what are we playing today?' Amu asks as Ami stares at Kukai. 'Is he your boyfriend Amu?' She blurts out as Amu sighs and puts a hand to her forehead. 'You just think that because he is the only male friend I have brought home.' Kukai laughs slightly at Amu's reaction. 'We're just really good friends Ami. I will probably be seeing more of you though.' He explained getting a big grin from Ami in response.
'So what are we playing today Ami?' Amu asks again as Ami giggles at Kukai. 'I want a tea party today! But mum won't let me have real tea.' She pouts and crosses her arms grumpily. 'Because you burnt yourself last time Ami. You aren't old enough to handle tea on your own.' Amu explained as Ami loosened up slightly. 'I didn't mean to spill it! Dad was getting impatient!' Ami moaned as Kukai began laughing. 'You'll be fine Ami, we can use our imagination to make the tea taste however we want.' He winks at her and grins. Ami giggles again as she collects all of her stuffed animals and sits them all around the table and begins playing tea party with Amu and Kukai.
After two hours of playing dinner was finally ready, everyone washed their hands before going downstairs for dinner. Amu's father kept a close eye on Kukai who was eating his dinner to try his best not to look awkward. 'DAD! Quit it! You're making Kukai nervous!' Amu shouted causing everyone to jump. 'Can I never bring a friend home and just have a normal evening with everyone enjoying dinner together?' she complained again through a sigh.
Kukai looked at her with sad and understanding eyes. 'Of course you can darling. Just not a boy.' Her dad said to her in his immature voice. She groaned out a sigh before standing up from the table. 'Amu sit back down this instant!' Amu's mother shouted after her. 'No! I have every right to bring home a male or female friend! I'm not going to let you talk to me like that!' She yelled as she pointed at her father and stomped off upstairs.
'The only reason we are so curious about her bringing boys home is because she doesn't talk to us. We know that something is troubling her and we just worry that someone is treating her badly.' Her father sighs before looking at Kukai. 'I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable I just hope you understand I want what is best for my daughter. I hope that you treat her with the utmost respect and protect her from any evil that threatens her.' He says in a sympathetic tone.
'Truth be told, we didn't know she had any friends until you came round today, Kukai.' Amu's mother jumped in, Ami was looking around at everyone while still eating her dinner. Kukai stood up and bowed his respects before making his way upstairs to her room.
Amu sat up and rubbed the tears from her eyes as she heard a knock on the door. 'Amu, it's me. Can I come in?' Kukai asked in a subtle tone. Amu sighed as she unlocked the door and sat back down on her bed. 'I'm sorry for acting that way in front of you Kukai. They just always want to know everything that I am doing. Everyone that I am hanging out with. I just want my own personal space.' She sighs as he comes in and shuts the door behind him.
'Truth is they worry about you Amu. They just told me you never talk to them, they didn't even know if you had any friends before I came round today.' He sighs as he sits next to her. 'I honestly don't think that they want to annoy or upset you. They are just being parents worrying about their child.' He puts and arm around her to comfort her.
'I suppose so, but they should know when to butt out of my life. I don't talk to them because I have no reason to. I like sitting in here on my own, they aren't as concerned as they say they are because they never come in here and try to talk to me.' Amu says as she stands up and makes her way to the balcony, she unlocks the door and sits on the edge with her legs between the railings like she did the previous night. Kukai follows her out and sits down beside her.
'You going to be ok?' He asks sympathetically as she rests her head against his shoulder. 'Yeah I'll be ok. I'm going to start looking for a job tomorrow. I want to get my own place and space. I know I'm only 16 but I can't stand living here with no privacy. If I ever did bring home a boyfriend how would they act then?! Worse than tonight I can guarantee you that.' She sighs as she turns her head to rest just her forehead on his shoulder.
He kisses the top of her head and moves closer to her, she looks up at him as he opens his arms out to her. She crawls over to him after releasing her legs from between the railings and sits in between his legs resting her back against his chest. He smiles as he wraps his arms around her and kisses the top of her head again. 'Thank you Kukai.' She sighs as she holds onto his hands and holds them close to her. 'For what Amu?' He responded casually.
'For being such a great and understanding friend, I've needed one for a while.' She smiles up at him as he tightens his hold around her. 'Oh I don't think I'm all that great Amu. I'm just trying to keep you happy and safe.' He says as he looks up to the night sky. 'I should be getting home, I'll be over on Sunday so that we can hang out watching a film or something ok?' Amu nods as she lets go of his hands and stands up along with him to embrace him tightly from the front.
They make their way downstairs talking about their plans for the weekend. 'I'll add you on Skype tonight, just make sure you are online and send me your details ok?' Kukai said to her as he got his shoes on. 'I know, I know. I'll wait for you online just message me when you get home so I know when to send you my details.' Amu said as she hugged him and said goodbye, he nodded in agreement as he waved goodbye and left the house.
She shut the door and turned round to her stairs as her parents came out from the dining room. 'I hope you know that I wasn't trying to annoy or upset you Amu. We just worry about you.' Her father began to say before Amu put her hand up to his mouth to stop him from talking. 'You may have tricked Kukai with those lies but you really don't care, if you did then you would try to talk to me more and not just to invade my privacy. If I ever get a boyfriend I don't think I'll bring him over to meet you because I don't know how you would act towards him.' Amu replied as she squeezed past them both to get to the stairs.
'Bring whoever you want over Amu. I will always worry about you because you are my little girl, but if I suspect that someone is treating you wrong I won't hesitate to let them know what's on my mind.' Her father replied as she stopped and turned towards him. 'Promise?' Amu asked in a hopeful tone. 'I promise Amu.' He smiled up at her as they hugged to seal the deal. 'Thanks dad. I'm holding you to it so don't let me down ok?' She smiles at him as her mother smiled at Amu respectively and her father nodded in response.
Amu felt better now that they had made up and was waiting for her text from Kukai when she plugged her skullcandy headphones into her Ipod and began to listen to her music do some little shoulder movements as she got into the music. She took her phone out of her pocket when she felt it vibrate assuming it was Kukai texting her.
She took her phone out of her pocket and pulled her headphones off of her head as she read the message not really understanding what it read;
'Hinamori, you don't know my name, nor will you know my name. Just know that you could be in danger at school. I am writing to you because someone close to you has done a terrible thing behind your back in order to 'protect' you. I will not mention names as I am assuming you will be able to figure that out for yourself. I just believe that you need to keep an eye out for any unusual behaviour. Signed Anonymous.'
'What the heck?' she reread the text over and over trying to understand what this person was on about. The number was withheld so she couldn't even message or call the person back, she started to feel uneasy and slightly dizzy as she felt she couldn't trust anyone again.
She took a deep breath as her mobile vibrated once more. It was Kukai. She took a deep breath deciding to forget about the other text and put it down to someone trying to play a prank on her.
'Hey Amu, finally got in. Send me your details when you're ready. I'll be waiting ;)'
She blushed slightly when she saw the text and was starting to feel better already as she sent him her reply.
'You took your time getting home! Any way my Skype name is LiTtLePiNk3 see you online soon. :D'
She sent the text with a sigh and a smile playing on her lips as she instantly got an invite over Skype.
'TheSoccerGod wants to add you to his/her Skype list.'
She clicked accept and laughed at his picture, he was holding a tiny soccer trophy above his head with a goofy face, she looked at her profile picture and frowned, it was her middle school photo, she digs her camera out of her side table and stood by her locked door and struck a cute pose with the peace sign and sticking her tongue out to take a selfie. She then uploaded it to her profile and smiled as she looked at the picture.
LiTtLePiNk3: nice profile picture :L
TheSoccerGod: haha! Thanks Amu, yours is really cute, did you just take that?
LiTtLePiNk3: how could you tell? .
TheSoccerGod: you are wearing the exact same clothes today?
LiTtLePiNk3: well at least it isn't of me in my PJs!
TheSoccerGod: hey that would be totally cute! Haha!
LiTtLePiNk3: oh don't start! Lol
TheSoccerGod: what? Lol just being honest!
LiTtLePiNk3: yeah well you're just weird Kukai!
TheSoccerGod: hey, I resent that D:
LiTtLePiNk3: lol! Don't worry, it's good to be weird.
TheSoccerGod: just wanna say thanks for having me over. I had a blast.
LiTtLePiNk3: it was quite fun, have you seen the time?
TheSoccerGod: yeah it's like 9:30pm, why?
LiTtLePiNk3: I'm normally in bed by now! Haha
TheSoccerGod: oh no, you're not one of those boring early birds are ya?
LiTtLePiNk3: guilty as charged! I just like getting a good night sleep. But I haven't had my evening bath yet so I can't go to sleep yet anyway.
TheSoccerGod: you have a bath every evening?
LiTtLePiNk3: I appreciate my hygiene! I just don't wash my hair. I do that in the mornings.
TheSoccerGod: hm... well ok then :/ I'll be going now anyway, god some research to do. I'll catch you later ok?
LiTtLePiNk3: sure thing, just tell me, what research are you doing?
TheSoccerGod: none of your business :P
LiTtLePiNk3: oh come on! Don't be mean Kukai!
TheSoccerGod: I'm just gonna be looking for our dance studio, if I find a good one I'll send you the link or something. Anyway, go have your bath stinky :P
LiTtLePiNk3: haha, that's you not me Kukai :P I'll text you tomorrow or something ok?
TheSoccerGod: sure, talk to tomorrow Amu. Stay safe.
'TheSoccerGod has logged off'
She sighs to herself as she logs out from Skype and makes her way to the bathroom with her nightgown in hand. After her quick 5 minute bath she makes her way back to her bedroom and stretches as she has a small bottle of milk on her bedside table. She smiles as she opens it and drinks it all in one go. Once she throws it in her bin she turns her light off and climbs into bed snuggling up to her duvet and switching her Ipod off as she looks at her alarm. She sighs as she turns over and begins to fall asleep gently.
In her dream world this time her and Kukai are hanging out at her house, alone. They are chilling in the sitting room watching a film, she is sat on the floor as he sits on the sofa behind her giving her a back/neck massage she smiles and continues to watch the film. As the film rolls the credits she stands up to put the next DVD on but has Kukai stand up before she gets a chance to stand and is shocked when he grips her hand and pulls her up to his body, she is blushing as he pushes her onto the sofa gently and sits next to her but holds her cheek gently. She continues to look at him uncertainly as he moves her face close to him and begins to kiss her gently, she melts into his kiss and begins to kiss him back. After a while he moves her hair to the back of her head and begins to place small gentle kisses all over her neck as she begins to blush slightly more, he slowly pushes her down on the couch as his hands start to roam all over her body before resting on her breast she moans out gently as he lays down on top of her and continue to kiss her neck slightly more aggressively. She has her hands tangled up in his hair as she holds his head to her neck she bites her bottom lip gently as he begins fondling her breast slowly and biting her neck gently, her back arches up slightly as she feels her panties get wetter and wetter. He stops and leans up over her as she looks up at him to see Ikuto's face coming down to kiss her lips. He begins to kiss her aggressively and hungrily as she struggles to try and get away from his grip as he grips onto her breast just as hungrily.
She sits up and lets out a small scream as her alarm once again wakes her up from her nightmare, she wipes the sweat from her face and hugs her knees to her chest. She looks over at her phone as she turns her alarm off to see it flashing green, she hesitantly picks up the phone to see she has received a text from Kukai, she sighs and reads the message.
'Good morning little pink. Haha, joking, how'd you sleep last night cutie?'
She smiles slightly as she begins to write her reply.
'I could've has a better sleep but it was ok, I had the usual amount sleep, just didn't have a very good dream. why'd you ask?'
She presses send as she stands up and stretches as she looks out her balcony door to see it was a beautiful day, she gathers her bra and panties along with her denim hot pants, scratch print footless tights and a black tank top with a massive glittery lip print across the breast section, she blushed as she made her to the bathroom for her morning shower.
Once she finishes with her shower she comes into her bedroom puts some texturising gel through her wet hair before blow drying it with her hair flipped over to get a better and more volumized hairstyle, she flips her hair right side up to reveal it is slightly wavy, she checks out the rest of her outfit before picking up her phone.
'Just wanted to make sure you slept ok. I done some research last night after we both logged off and now I'm looking around with some of my guy friends, we'll be playing football later so I probably won't message you until later on ok?'
She smiled at his text before tying a small section of her hair up at the top-back of her head.
'Sure thing, I'll probably do some shopping and job searching today so I'll catch you later.'
She slips her phone into her red tartan side bag as she grabs her Ipod and skullcandy headphones and makes her way downstairs. 'Mum, I'm going shopping and job hunting, could I borrow some money please?' She asks as she gets her black ankle high heel lace up boots on.
Her mum hands her 5000 yen and her CV to her as they hug and Amu slips her keys in her bag from the key hanger. 'Be back later!' Amu shouts out as she shuts the door behind her and puts her headphones and begins playing her music once more.
She begins walking down the road, past Ikuto's house, towards the centre of town. She pumps the volume of her music up as she begins to practice her dance moves. She smiles to herself after she finishes and continues to make her way down the road. As she crosses the road she stops as she feels an uneasy presence watching her, she looks around to try and see someone before feeling a heavy force push her to the ground and land on her, she looks up as her headphones slip to around her neck.
'What the hel-' Amu begins to shout before she sees Ikuto's breathless face leaning over her.
'Are you stupid!? You almost got run over because you weren't paying attention to where you were going!' Ikuto shouted at her between pants of breath. 'I had to run over to save you! You could've been killed!'
She continues to look up at him with a blank stare before tears turn up in her eyes, she pushes him off of her before getting up and running towards the town, once she is sure that she has lost him she stops at a park and sits down on a bench and wipes the tears from her face. Why the hell am I crying!? So what if he saved my life!? How do I know he wasn't the one watching me? I still hate that stupid Ikuto! UGH! She thinks to herself angrily as she calms herself down and stops the small tears from developing any further.
'Amu, sorry for yelling at you like that. But you need to be careful ad watch where you are going.' She freezes as she hears Ikuto's out of breath voice from behind her. 'Just leave me the hell alone.' She stands up and begins to walk away. 'I just saved your life and you are still going to give me the cold shoulder?' Ikuto yells out to her back. 'Pretty much!' Amu yells back as she continues to walk away.
'I'm sorry for shouting at you yesterday Amu! I was in the wrong!' He yelled out with a hopeful tone and breathes a sigh of relief as she stops and turns back to him. 'I mean it, I'm sorry.' He begins walking towards her but stops as Kukai's words ring in his head, he frowns slightly. 'I just wanted you to know that, now I won't bother you anymore.' Ikuto turns on his heels before hearing Amu's footsteps get closer to him.
'Before you piss of just answer me one thing.' She says in a tired and bored tone, he turns back to face her. 'Yesterday morning, you looked really tired and said that you had a lot on your mind. Why did you look up at me after you explained it to the class?' She looked and sounded curious, he took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. 'I looked at you because I was thinking about your dance piece. I want your dance piece to reflect a lot of your personality as I'm trying to base it around you. I was up most of the night trying to think of a way to do that.' He replied it so smoothly and non-teacherly that it took Amu by surprise and she found herself blushing.
'Now if you'll excuse me Amu, I shouldn't be standing alone with a student in a park off of the main road. I'll see you on Monday morning for class.' He began to walk away quickly fearing that she was meeting with Kukai. 'Why didn't you just ask me?' She asked the question so quickly that Ikuto only just picked up what she said. 'Because I wanted to surprise you.' With that last comment he left Amu standing alone in the park, her cheeks blushing furiously.
[Ok, I know that this chapter was slightly shorter than the others but I wanted to leave you all with a cliff hanger. What did you all think? NOW who do you prefer? Kukamu or Amuto? Who was the person who texted Amu? How do they know about Kukai's betrayal? Will Amu figure it out? All...well at least most will be revealed in the next chapter! I will be uploaded each chapter the same time every week. Every Friday so keep an eye out! Like I said at the beginning of the story – R&R and I'll consider people's ideas! Thanks guys, peace out! ;) xx]
