RECAP OF CHAPTER 2
"Neko bell!" A little bell, shaped like cat head, appeared in my hand. What do I do with this!? I held it in front of me and pointed it at the x-character. A pink light flashed form it and hit the character. It tried to get out of the light beam to no avail. I made my hands into the shape of a heart, "Negative heart lock on! Open heart!"…
"My name is Kaya. I hope I don't bother you!" "Hi Kaya-chan nya! I'm Yuuki! This is Amu-chan."…
"I was going to tell you…" "Hurry up!" He looks distant…what does he have to say? He walked towards me and I backed away until I felt the wall against my back. "Amu, I think I…"…
Chapter 3: First kiss
Amu's POV
"Amu, I think I…" Ikuto… His face neared mine. What's going on? Why do I feel so calm?
"Ikuto, what's going on…?"
"I think I figured out what kind of Shugo I am…" (A.n.- I tricked you didn't I nya! XP)
"What do you mean…?"
"Remember I said that I was either the 'self' you want to be or be with… but with a twist…"
"Ya…"
"I know which one I am…"
"Which one…?"
"Isn't that easy to tell…?"
"Huh…?" I felt a weird urge to kiss him…I think I'm sick…
"You're not sick…"
"Stop reading my thoughts…"
"Do you know which one I am now…?"
"Not really…"
"You're so slow…"
"Shut up…" I leaned up a bit. This is weird… why can't I move away… it's like some invisible force is keeping me here…
"That's cause it is…"
"Stop reading my thoughts…"
"I really can't help it…"
He leaned closer to my face. I think I know what's going to happen…why can't I push him away…? I felt him press his lips against mine. At this point I snapped out of whatever force was keeping me there and pushed him away,
"JERK!!!" I held my hand to my mouth as tears fell from my eyes. I ran upstairs not looking back. That was my first kiss! How could he just steal it!?
-Next day-
I was lying on my bed. How could Ikuto do that…?! No…he didn't do anything…I could have pushed him away…it's my fault…But how could he just do that as if it meant nothing…?
"Amu…?" I looked up. Ikuto was standing at the door. I gasped. He looks like he just got into a cat fight or something! Forgetting about earlier I went over to him then helped him get to a chair,
"What happened, Ikuto?! Are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere!?" His cloths were all torn and his face was dirty and bruised. I noticed his shirt was stained red on his shoulder. Not to mention that he was soaked to the bone!
"I went out to get this for you…" Ikuto put his hand in his pocket and took out a little necklace with a charm on it in the shape of a strawberry.
"It's an apology for earlier."
"But how did you get like this?!"
"I went to the store and when I got out it was raining as you can see." He pointed out the window.
"Then I decided to take the path through the alley to be a little drier. But those guys from the café had rustled up a bunch of others and attacked. They had knives and I was barely able to get away with my he- Ow!" I had touched his shoulder and he yelped in pain.
"Sorry!" He clutched his shoulder,
"It's fine…" I got up and went to get a wet towel and another blanket.
When I got back Ikuto was lying on the rug.
"You should lay down on the bed, Ikuto." I helped him up so he could sit on my bed. I then dipped the cloth towel into the water and started to clean up Ikuto's face.
"You shouldn't get into fights. Getting hurt all the time is uncool. Just like a real stray cat…" He's really bruised up.
"I thought you were mad at me…"
"I am but…what's the point of being mad? Just being mad at you isn't going to change what happened."
"I'm still sorry…" Ikuto…I finished cleaning his face. I saw him shivering and put the blanket around him.
"Rest a bit… then I'll take a look at that shoulder…" I pushed him slightly, making him lay down on the bed then headed downstairs. I'll make something to eat…
-Later-
"Ikuto, I'm back." I opened the door. He was lying on the bed but not asleep.
"I'm making fish. It should be done soon." I helped Ikuto sit up.
"Take off your shirt and NO perverted comments, Ikuto." He took his shirt off and luckily didn't say anything. There was a gash in his shoulder and it was still bleeding. I took out another wet towel and dabbed the cut. I hope it doesn't get infected… He flinched but didn't make a sound. When the cut was cleaned up I wrapped it up. I noticed a bunch of scratches on his chest. Then I looked down, down, down… oh god. I'm the pervert!
"Amu, you think too loud…"
"Shut up." I looked at his neck. The ribbon that held up the bell wasn't torn. Even though every other part of him was. There's even a scratch on his neck. But it looks like the collar protects itself but only itself.
"I'm confused, Ikuto…"
"Why's that?"
"Why can't I truly be mad at you?"
"I'm your Shugo Neko. And that's all I'll ever be…"
"Don't you get your own life?"
"No."
"That's not fair."
"Life isn't fair."
"But then that means that when this is over…you'll be over too?"
"Yep."
"But that's so unfair!"
"To get something you must always sacrifice something. So to get the 'self' you want to be or be with…you sacrifice me…"
"I don't want to do that!"
"It'll eventually happen."
"I won't let it!"
"You can't do anything about it."
"I will!"
"That's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible!"
"Yes there is."
"What about shugos!? Aren't Shugo charas, Shugo Nekos, Guardian Angels impossible!?"
"You can't change the rules. No matter how much you want to…"
"How can you be so calm? Knowing that any day you could be over and done with?"
"You'll die one day. Why do you live?"
"Because…I should while I can…?"
"Same here." Even though Ikuto can be a pervert all the time…and he gets on my nerves a lot…he can be…like a different person…
"Your fish is burning." Oh no! I ran down the stairs.
-Later-
Ikuto and I were in my room with the partly burnt fish. I had to feed him because of his shoulder. I feel weird…
"Hey, are you feeding the wall or can I eat it." I moved the fish closer to him…I guess I must have moved it towards the wall… I don't know how I could confuse the pink wall with Ikuto but I did so ya…
"I can eat it by myself you know. You could go sleep or something, Amu. Don't you have work?"
"I don't feel like going today."
"Why?"
"I'm worried about you."
"Why?"
"You're hurt."
"So?"
"Shut up and eat."
"I wa-" I cut him off by stuffing a piece of fish in his mouth. He looked annoyed but chewed and didn't say anything.
"Ikuto?"
"Hm?"
"Do you ever wish you could never have been a Shugo?" He finished chewing before responding,
"Sometimes. But there are some good things about it."
"Like what?"
"Hm…I got to meet you."
"Is that a good thing?"
"It has its ups and downs. But everything does."
"Why do you like to tease me?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?"
"I'm just curious!"
"Curiosity killed the cat."
"You're the cat not me."
"Whatever."
"Eat the fish."
"But that part is bur-" I stuffed the fish in his mouth again.
-After finishing the fish-
"Thanks for almost chocking me, Amu!"
"I didn't mean to!"
"You stuffed more than half the fish in my mouth at one time!"
"Oh just shut up!" He stopped talking.
"I didn't think you'd listen to me…" Ikuto pointed at the bell around his neck. Oh ya…
"You can talk."
"Thank you!"
"Can you help me put the necklace on?"
"Sure." I gave him the little chain and he moved my hair away to put the clasp together. It really is pretty. The chain was just a little silver chain and the charm was a little strawberry. And it was shiny! I love shiny things!
"Glad you like it, Amu."
"Stop listening in on my thoughts!"
"You think too loud."
"Doesn't the bell make you listen?!"
"We're still connected and the bell can't do anything about it."
-Later-
"Why weren't you at work nya?" Yuuki and Kaya had stopped by.
"I had to stay with Ikuto…"
"He's a big boy he can take can of himself nya!"
"I'll come tomorrow after school okay?"
"Okay nya!"
"I-I'm sorry to intrude!" Kaya bowed…waaaaaaaaay to shy…
"OMG nya! you had fish and didn't save any for me nya!"
-After the intruders leave-
"That was…uh…awkward…" Ikuto's right…
"How did she smell the fish…?"
"I have no clue…"
"She's weird…"
"Ya…"
"What do you wanna do?"
"I dunno."
"You wanna…uh…watch TV?"
"Sure…" We walked over to the couch. I made sure not to touch Ikuto's shoulder. That's the only BIG wound that he has… I turned the TV on and put the 'Funimation channel' on. Yay it's Fruit Basket! Kyo!
-After fruits basket (Which I do not own!)-
Ikuto had fallen asleep about have way through and had his head on my lap. I hadn't noticed until right now… his hair is so soft. Just like a big cat. He hasn't been in Shugo form for a long time… I wonder why… He started to mumble in his sleep,
"Amu…I'm sorry…" Huh…?
"Are you awake, Ikuto?" No answer. I guess he's asleep…
"I didn't mean to steal the fish…it was taunting me…" I giggled. Still thinking about that fish, eh? I decided to tease him a little. I whispered in his ear,
"Hey, Ikuto. let's go to bed." He mumbled again,
"Pervy kid…" That little trick does work! I could tease him a lot to get back at him for before…this is too good of an opportunity! I could say some things that would get through to his perverted mind!
"C'mon handsome. Aren't I sexy enough?" I giggled at my own little perverted joke. I squeezed his side. His eyes opened and he looked at me,
"Plenty." I squeaked. He was awake!?
"You tricked me!"
"I was asleep at first but I woke up after you said 'handsome'."
"Oh…" The TV started to play the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles opening song. (A.n.- I don't own!)
-After Tsubasa-
Ikuto had fallen asleep again. I will get back at him! I just have to be quieter! I leaned down to his ear,
"Ikuto, let's go to bed, now, please." I licked his cheek.
"Amu…" He put his arm that wasn't injured around my neck and brought my face close to his. Hm…how else could I get at him…? I started nibbling on his neck and started moaning without knowing it. Ikuto started purring. How cute.
"Amu…"
"Ikuto…" I found myself on top of him with my legs straddling his waist. He looked up at me with sleepy eyes,
"Amu? What are you doing?" I then realized our position and blushed.
"Uh…I-I…was just…" The door bell rang and I jumped up. Just in time! I really was saved by the bell!
Ikuto's POV
That was weird. I watched as Amu went and opened the door. What was she doing? I was asleep and then I wake up to find her on top of me… Strange kid. Amu walked back in only this time Kingu was with her. I glared at him but he just continued to talk to Amu. No, correction, MY Amu. But he is here. And that means something bad is going to happen. No fair. And I was just starting to like the place. Stupid Kingu. Why does he always ruin the fun.
"Nice to see you, Ikuto-kun."
"Wish I could say the same."
"Ikuto! Don't be mean!"
"Sorry, strawberry, but that's one thing I can't do."
"Huh?" Something bad is defiantly gonna happen. He wouldn't leave his precious planetarium unless he needed to. But the question is what…
TBC….
Yuuki: whoo nya! Thanks to XXCryBabyXX I now know what Kingu's name is nya! but I got so used to the name I didn't want to change it so Ikuto is still going to call him that but I might make Amu call him by his real name nya!
Ikuto: stupid kingu had to ruin the moment!
Amu: please review!
Everyone: Arigatou!
