Chapter Four
"Amu, wake up," a deep voice filled my ears.
"Five more minutes," I mumbled in reply and rolled over to fall face first onto the floor.
"Amu-chan, are you okay!" Ran panicked and flew over to me.
"Yea but why was I on the end of the bed?!" I said irritably.
"Because you were pulling me over to your side to cuddle with me," a honey sweet voice echoed through the room.
"I-Ikuto?" I asked in surprise as the previous night came flooding back to me.
"Good morning Amu," Ikuto said and smirked.
"Shouldn't you be sleeping at your own place?" I snapped.
"Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," Ikuto mumbled.
"Of course I did you idiot, I fell on the floor!" I yelled and rubbed my sore head.
Ikuto chuckled as I stood up, it was time to go to school anyways. Quickly grabbing my uniform and clips, I rushed to the bathroom to shower. As I tied the last clip on my hair, Ikuto had already woken up and got dressed...wait, GOT DRESSED?!
"Ikuto, did you sleep naked?!" I exclaimed I horror and embarrassment.
"No, I just slept with my shirt off since you were complaining about being too cold," Ikuto said with a coy smile.
"P-pervert, when did I ever say that?!" I blushed a deep shade of red.
"Amu, you're late for school~desu," Su flew over to land on my backpack.
"Crap, I gotta jet," I said and dashed out the door.
Rima POV*
As I stepped onto school property, my phone beeped to signal a text.
Ikuto: Hey Rima
Me: What do you want Tsukiyomi?
Ikuto: Is Amu busy after school today?
Me: No, she's only busy on Fridays
Ikuto: Thanks
The conversation ended and I snapped my phone shut. Students were streaming in through the gates, they were all talking about Ren Hiroki, the new transfer student. I rolled my eyes and continued walking until I heard a familiar voice.
"Good morning Rima!" Amu smiled and walked over to me, her uniform was perfect as usual, not a wrinkle in sight.
"Seriously, how did you turn from airhead into a perfectionist?" I asked and looked at her beautiful silk jacket.
"I don't know, guess I changed along the way," Amu shrugged and smiled, her pony tail was bouncing gently.
"So how are things with Ikuto?" I asked which caused Amu to turn beet red.
"U-um, better than expected I guess," Amu answered and rubbed her neck unconsciously.
"Amu, Rima!" Yaya's voice echoed throughout the campus.
"Stop being so loud Yaya!" I snapped and Amu just smiled nervously.
"Geez," she answered as she skidded to a stop.
"So what is it Yaya?" Amu asked the hyperactive girl.
"Guess what?! Ren Hiroki's little sister is coming after school, I hear she's a famous model!" Yaya squealed.
"That's...um...great I guess," Amu answered and looked at me.
"Yea, come one," I said in a flat tone and dragged Amu into class.
Amu POV*
As Rima dragged me through the crowded hallway, I reflected on what Yaya had said. I can't believe Ren's sister could be a model, no wonder Ren looked so handsome.
"Amu, what's wrong, you've been quiet for the last five minutes," Rima asked.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about how Ren's sister is a super model, it makes sense since Ren is so handsome," I answered and Rima gave me a surprised look.
"Handsome?" Rima repeated.
"Well, not as handsome as Ikuto," I said and then blushed at the comment.
"Oh...so you think IKUTO is the handsomest of all guys?" Rima smirked.
"I-I didn't say that!" I said and blushed deeper.
"Whatever," Rima returned to her serious self and opened the classroom door.
It was too early for anybody to be in class so it was a surprise to see Ren sitting in his seat, a book propped opening front of his face. As soon as he heard Rima's sound of disgust towards him, his head shot up.
"Good morning Amu," he smiled, his teeth were dazzlingly white.
"Good morning Ren," I smiled politely and took my seat.
Rima continued to ignore Ren and sat down, it seemed like her disdain towards him had increased. An awkward silence filled the room as the clock ticked silently, when was class ever going to start?!
"Rima, can I borrow a piece of paper?" I asked and turned to see her looking through her notebook.
"Sure," she replied and ripped out a blank piece of paper and handed over to me.
"Thanks," I answered and took out my pencil.
I sat there for about ten seconds until I started scribbling madly, the words were flying out of my hands. As I reached the middle half the page, I felt someone staring at me.
"Gah!" I shrieked in surprise as I turned and saw Rima's face only centimeters from my own.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled.
"What are you writing?" She asked.
"Nothing, it's directions," I answered.
"For what?" She continued to lean over my shoulder.
"It's a secret," I smirked and folded the paper.
"Meanie," Rima returned to her seat and pouted.
I smiled and wrote my name in the piece of folded paper. As I slid the note into my backpack, Ren spoke to me.
"Hey Amu?" He said.
"Yea Ren?" I answered and sat back up.
"Are you busy after school?" He asked cautiously.
"I don't think so," I said.
"Can you come meet my sister then?" Ren looked at me all serious like.
"I guess," I shrugged.
"Great, she'll be arriving ten minutes after school lets out," Ren's mood brightened immensely.
"Kay," I smiled and turned to see Rima's death glare.
"What?" I asked as the bell rang.
Ikuto's POV*
I sat on a pole and swayed my tail lazily, it was such a slow day. Amu's school was so boring even though they're loaded. I've been waiting here for three hours, THREE!
"Ikuto, I'm bored~nya," Yoru complained.
"Go do something by yourself then," I answered.
"Why are you even doing this~nya," Yoru asked and sat down at the top of my head.
"I'm bored I guess and Rima texted me that something was going to happen today four hours ago," I answered, I bet she was texting in class.
"I'm still bored~nya," Yoru clung to my hair and started swaying back and forth like he was some Nascar race driver.
"I'll play to pass the time," I said and grabbed my violin, it was attached to a electric wire.
I stood up, and tested the wind, it was blowing straight towards Amu's school. After tuning the violins bit, I took my pose and started playing a slow song. As the song progressed, I heard some clattering near the front side the school, maybe somebody fell down.
"Ikuto, look~nya!" Yoru pointed to an open window.
Clustering to the windows, some kids were staring at me with wide eyes. I smirked until I noticed someone. Rima was standing at the front, she had a bored look on her face but she stuck up her middle finger. I smirked, I had to admit that the girl did have spunk, she reminded me of Amu.
"Hey Rima," I waved at the blond girl.
I earned no response from her but did see all the girls swoon. I yawned then, I felt really stiff, it must've been when Amu laid uncomfortably on my arm last night. Right at that moment, Rima's eyes shot wide open as she whipped her head around to face what must've been the classroom door. I didn't see what happened after that because I hear Utau's voice.
"Ikuto Tsukiyomi, get your ass down here right now!" She yelled, Utau still looked the same except for her height, she was tall enough so that she reached my chin.
"Hey Utau," I smirked once I jumped down.
"What do think you're doing up there?" She asked angrily.
"Nothing geez," I said and look towards the open window again, this time Amu was there.
"Hey, listen to me when I'm talking to you Ikuto!" Utau said and dragged me by the ear to a building that was labeled "Dance Hall".
"Hey, not the ear!" I complained, she knew my ears were sensitive.
"Then come willingly!" She said and closed the doors, locking me into my doomed fate of listening to my little sister.
Amu POV*
When I came back from the bathroom, everybody was clustered to the windows. I didn't have any ideas what was going on so I called Rima, she was probably the one at the window first.
"Rima, you there?" I asked.
"Amu!" Rima's panicked voice reached my ears as I saw my blond friend spring out of the crowd, she covered my eyes with her hands.
"What are you doing?!" I said.
"N-nothing," she replied and turned me to face the door.
"What's going on Rima?" I asked.
"Aw...he's gone," a girl complained.
"Who?" I turned to ask but Rima beat the girl to it.
"It was nobody, just a guy walking in front of the school!" She quickly said.
I went over to the window and looked around, nobody was there. When I was about to turn around, I caught a flash of blond hair, it was Utau. It seemed like she was talking to a tree but hey, what do I know?
"Class, go back to your seats," Nikaidou-sensei said and closed his book.
As I returned to my seat, I kept asking myself the same question over and over again. Why the fuck was Utau talking to a tree?!
After School*
"Hurry up Amu," Rima said impatiently, she was tapping her foot against the floor.
"Do you want to meet Ren's sister that much?" I asked skeptically.
"Of course not," Rima answered and looked at me with a disbelieving look.
I shrugged and and zipped my backpack close. As I walked across the campus with Rima, I saw a bunch of kids clustered around the school gates.
"How are we going to get by them?" I looked down to see Rima scanning the crowd.
"Amu!" Utau's voice called.
"Hey Utau, are you here to see her too?" I asked.
"As if!" Utau scoffed.
"What do you want?" Rima said and crossed her arms.
"Oh, I want to tell you that he's coming now," Utau said and pointed towards the dance studio.
"Good," Rima replied and smirked.
"Who?" I look at around in confusion, what were they talking about.
Sighing, I turned around to face the crowd, they were yelling and looking around, maybe trying to find Ren.
"Hey...Amu."
"Gah!" I yelped.
"Ikuto, it's not nice to scare Amu like that," Utau said.
"It's her fault for being paranoid," Ikuto replied and smirked.
"Ikuto!" I yelled indignantly.
"What?" He asked innocently like he just didn't scare me half to death.
"Why are you even at school?" I asked.
"To walk you home obviously," Ikuto answered.
"Really?" I asked, it's not like him to do this kind of cheesy stuff.
"Fine, Rima texted me that something was going to happen today," Ikuto finally admitted.
I refused to ask Ikuto why Rima had his phone number, it would make me look jealous. Clearing my head, I looked at Ikuto, he had on a plain white button down shirt which was a size to big for him, long black pants that clung to his legs, and black dress shoes.
"I want to go home now," Utau said.
"Lets go," I said but was stopped by someone calling my name.
"Amu!" Ren called.
"Hey Ren," I smiled at the panting boy beside me.
"My sister is coming," Ren said between breathes.
I suddenly remembered my promise as a black limo pulled up in front of school. As everybody except me, Ikuto, Rima, and Utau held their breaths, the limo opened to reveal a beautiful blond girl.
"So pretty!" All the girls squealed.
I had to admit, she was beautiful. Ren's sister was lean, tall, and had flowing bright blond hair. I ogled at how pretty she was, I was plain compared to her.
"She's ugly," Rima stated, she had a disgusted look in her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"She looks fake," Rima answered and huffed.
"Karen, come over here!" Ren called over the crowd.
Karen's head swiveled around and met my gaze. She smiled and came over to us, her sundress swaying in the breeze. As she came closer, I saw that I only stood to her nose, it made me mad.
"Hello, you must be Amu," Karen smiled brightly, her voice was honey smooth.
"Hey," my "Cool & Spicy" mode came on.
"Nice to meet you!" She smiled and stuck out her hand.
"Whatever," I replied.
Karen didn't look fazed at all, that girl had some guts. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of Ikuto and something probably sparked within her. Karen suddenly became cuter as she swiped her bangs over her eyes.
"Hi, who are you?" She came over to Ikuto, it looked like he was surprised.
"Ikuto," he answered, it looked like he didn't want to give her his last name.
"I'm Karen Hiroki," she continued to give him puppy eyes.
There was an awkward silence before Utau cleared her throat. Practically dragging me and Ikuto away, Utau went in the direction of my house.
"Clinger," Utau mumbled under her breath.
"Utau, why do you hate the Hiroki siblings so much?" I asked.
"God Amu, you can be so freaking dense sometimes," Utau said angrily and stopped in front of my house.
Seeing my distress, Rima got closer to me as I opened the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow Amu," Utau waved, she turned back to her happy self as she walked away.
"Creepy," I said.
"She was always like that," Ikuto said as he dug through the fridge.
"I'll be going now then," Rima said and waved good bye at me.
"Bye Rima," I smiled softly and turned around to stare directly into Ikuto's midnight blue eyes.
"Ikuto, you have got to stop doing that!" I exclaimed.
"It's your fault you can't sense me," Ikuto smirked and licked his milked filled lips.
I suddenly felt very hot as a blush crept to my cheeks as I stared at his tongue, sliding over the milk on his plump lips. When I realized what I was thinking, I blushed ten shades deeper. Ikuto smirked and pulled his face away.
"Want to kiss me Amu?" Ikuto said teasingly.
"A-as if!" I said and turned away.
"Aw...come on, I know you want to," he said and wrapped his arms around my waist.
Before I could retort back, the front door opened and Mom came back with a bag full of groceries.
"Hi honey!" Mom said as my eyes widen.
"Mom!" I exclaimed and turned around to see nothing but air.
