AMU POV
He had stopped himself from falling by putting both of his hands on either side of my head. Our faces were millimetres apart and our noses were nearly touching. My knuckles were white as I was still gripping onto his shirt for dear life. His legs were in-between mine as mine dangled carelessly off the end of the bed. I blushed bright red and did the only thing I could think of at that moment... I screamed.
UTAU POV
After Ikuto left in his little strop we all sat in silence until Yaya, once again broke the ice by screaming, ''YAYA TIRED!!'' she jumped up out of her seat and ran to Tadase.
''Hmm...I suppose it's time we all got some sleep, ne? It's been a long day,'' I said.
I walked over to Kukai and linked my arm with his. Nagi walked over to Rima and did the same. We got to the hallway and were about to say our goodnights when we heard a bloodcurdling scream coming from Amu's room.
I shot my friends a worried glance and without thinking barged into the room to see Ikuto ON TOP of Amu. ''What the hell is going on here?'' I shouted.
IKUTO POV
''What the hell is going on here?'' shouted Utau.
Uh oh...we're screwed.
Both mine and Amu's heads whipped towards the door to see Utau looking like an angry ruffled kitten and everyone else who just looked shocked.
''I-I umm...'' God did I just stutter?
''GET OFF ME PERVERT!!'' screamed Amu. With on great shove off her I flew backward onto the floor, my eyes widened at how strong she was and when I looked at her she looked just as shocked...no...Worried?
''Crap,'' she whispered.
''No-one's answered my question yet and how the hell did you get that strong?'' shouted Utau.
Kukai wrapped and her waist to stop her from tackling Amu when Amu said, ''Oh shut up, you prissy little drama queen.''
''WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!!'' screamed Utau.
How could Amu say that, they were like best friends when I left a few years ago? Amu was totally emotionless.
''Chara change,'' she hissed menacingly.
She ran to the balcony and jumped. I thought I saw cat ears and a tail on her. Maybe I'm going crazy. ''AMU,'' I shouted. I ran to the balcony and looked down but she was nowhere in sight. As I walked back into her room I noticed he guitar was missing to. ''Amu,'' I whispered, ''what happened to you?''
Meanwhile Utau was hyperventilating. ''HOW DARE SHE CALL ME THAT? WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?'' screamed a hysterical Utau.
''Utau, shut up for five minutes.'' I said irritated. I rubbed my head in a feeble attempt to get rid of the giant headache that was forming.
''What you're on her side now?'' I tried to tune her out so I could think straight and figure out what was going on with Amu.
AMU POV
''Oh shut up, you prissy little drama queen,'' I hissed coldly, I didn't want to be mean to them but it was for their own good. It would be dangerous if they got close to me. It was to protect them.
I can't believe I just pushed Ikuto off like that, I'm supposed to be keeping a low profile.
''WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!'' screamed Utau. Damn this girl was giving me a headache.
I wasn't scared of her, if she fought me she'd be down in seconds. Not that I actually wanted to fight her.
I switched doff all emotion and whispered, ''Chara change,'' to Yora. It sounded like when and x-chara says it, emotionless and creepy. I sprinted over to the balcony and grabbed my guitar on the way. I managed to jump before anyone saw the cat ears and tail pop out. I landed on the ground with a light thud and quickly pushed myself back up to land on the roof. It was too quick or anyone inside to see though.
I heard Ikuto shout so I looked over the end of the roof to see what was going on. Ikuto was franticly looking for me. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips. Why did he care so much?
He shouldn't.
I watched as he sighed and walked back into the room. Utau was obviously freaking out as Kukai tried to calm her down.
''Utau, shut up for five minutes will,'' said Ikuto, obviously irritated.
I couldn't see what was happening but I could hear it just fine.
''What you're on her side now?'' Utau screeched.
He ignored her. I was about to tune everyone out when Ikuto whispered, ''I don't understand...''
I heard the door close followed by others down the hall, I was about to jump down when I heard the bed creak. I slowly peaked in through the window and saw Ikuto with his head in hands sat on the edge of the bed. He led back on the bed and curled up into a ball. Aww... He looks just like a real kitten. WHOA, where did that thought come from. I leaned back on the roof and closed my eyes. Ikuto fell asleep rather quickly. I listened as his breathing became slower and deeper. I waited until dawn when the sun as just peaking over the mountains and the fresh morning sun rays where just touching the Tokyo grass to pick up my guitar and sing.
(In The Dark – Flyleaf)
I've written songs in the dark There's only artificial light Fill this space Idle words Now I am mute despite myself I'm scared to death of Glory shows up I'm scared to death of
I've felt inspired in the dark
I hide myself in the dark
Used to be afraid of the dark
Those in the light know
we die in the dark
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence
I'm scared to death of
light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did.
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me and
I am left to face me
I'm held accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle words
light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did.
Exposes us
I'm naked here
Forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark
light and silence
Jesus kill me in side this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did
Like you did.
I sighed and put my guitar down. Looking at the sun it was about 6:00am. Better get ready for school. I dropped down onto the balcony and saw Ikuto still asleep on my bed. My eyes widened. I was sure he would have left by now. I walked over to him gently lay a blanket on him. I smiled as his face softened.
I unpacked my thing quickly. I didn't have much. I grabbed a towel and underwear and went into the shower in my en-suite bathroom. I stood with the water pouring over me for a little while. I let the warmth of the water sink into my bones and relax my muscles. My mind started to wonder towards Ikuto. He did look cute when he was sleeping. Heck, he looked cute all the time. He was always there for me. His perverted ways always make me feel better somehow. Yet, I was always so horrible to him, I always hurt him and he was still there. Tears started to pour from my eyes washing way with the shower water.
