Well thank you to everyone who read, reviewed, story alerted and author alerted me! =D I'm guessing I'm going to be updating during the weekends and sometimes on Friday (Btw, I live in Canada, dunno what the time zone is =.=) I might not update sometimes because it's either I'm to lazy or I can't think of anything. I couldn't really think of anything for this chapter so this one is going to be suckish. Sorry 'bout that. Anyways, here's the 4th chapter~
Previously…
"So, we want to know who your crushing on." Nadeshiko said bluntly. My face went cherry red.
"W-why?"
"Is it wrong to know a secret that one of your friends have been keeping from us?"
"I don't know…."
"Then tell us!"
"No." I replied and try to leave as quickly as possible but was pulled back once again.
"Tell us or else." Nadeshiko threatened.
"Hey Nagi! Help me here!"
"Sorry but I'm interested in this as well." I hung my head in defeat but I still didn't want to tell them. After a while of silence Nadeshiko started laughing.
"If you don't tell us, we'll show this picture of you when you were dressed up as a girl." She showed me a picture of me when I was doing a class play in our younger years and I was forced to play the female role.
"You wouldn't!"
"Oh I would." I was starting to feel the creeps. Who knew that Nadeshiko was so scary?
"Fine, fine. I'll tell you if you don't tell anyone or show that picture too."
"Deal." Yaya agreed quickly. I bet she really wanted to know since she agreed so quickly.
"It's… Hinamori."
Kukai's POV
I was currently walking to my fav; while wearing my disguise of course. I kept recalling what just happened a few minutes a go. I covered my face with my hands, feeling the heat rush to my face. I can't believe I just confessed but not to Hinamori herself. I ruffled my hair in frustration.
AGHHH. They better not tell anyone! Especially Yaya! She almost blurted out the secret. We had to hold her back and cover her mouth with duck tape.
While I was thinking aobut her silly actions, I accidently bumped into someone and knocked them down.
"Oh, sorry." I extended my hand and offered to pull them up. The person looked hesitantly at the hand but took it.
"Watch it next time, kid." According to her voice, I'm going to guess she's a girl. Wait, what did she just call me? I could feel a vein pop in my head.
"Who you calling a kid?"
"Who do you think Sherlock? Well, I'm going to get going. I'm off to my favourite ramen shop." She dusted off some invisible dust.
"I was also heading to my favourite ramen shop." I answered.
"How convenient.
"Which one you going to?" We asked in unison.
"The one down the corner." We answered at the same time. We looked at each other for a while but then we both started laughing.
"So what's your name kid?"
"Kukai, Kukai Souma and STOP CALLING ME A KID. I happen to be 15"
"Same here."
"What's your name? Only fair to ask since you know my name." She looked perplexed at my question and there was a moment of silence.
"Utau."
"Huh?"
"I told you once and I'm not going to tell you again. My name is U-T-A-U." She crossed her arms across her chest. Suddenly, her stomach grumbled loudly. A blush was clearly evident on her face.
"Why don't we go eat?"
"Why not? I'm going to get 3 deluxe specials." (Dunno what's in ramen shops, making this up)
"Isn't that a lot for a girl?"
"Who said girls can't eat a lot? It's not like you can eat a lot considering you have such skinny arms." She retorted while pointing at my chicken arms.
"Is that a challenge? You think you can beat me? I can probably eat a whole lot more than you." I replied annoyingly.
"OH, IT'S ON!"
"BRING IT!" We both ran as quickly to the ramen shop down the corner but I couldn't help but wonder that I heard her name somewhere. I must just be paranoid. I pushed the thought out of my mind and concentrated on BEATING HER IN THIS CHALLENGE. NO WAY WAS I GOING TO LOSE!
Amu's POV
I was rushing home because my parents said that they were coming home to spend some time with me. They even said that they brought a surprise with them. I wonder what it is? I fumbled around with my keys and put it in the knobs slot.I pushed the door open and my parents were already there; awaiting my arrival. I couldn't believe my eyes. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Ow, that definitely hurt.
"Amu!"
"My little sparrow!" They both lunged at me which caught me off guard causing us to fall to the floor.
"Mom! Dad!" We engaged into a group hug but my parents eventually broke it up.
"Now, we want to show you your surprise!" My mom said all excited. She used her hand to motion for something or someone.
"Amu, I want you to meet Tadase, Rima and Ikuto." My mom moved out of the way and revealed two blondes and of course; Ikuto. What the hell was he doing here? I could feel Ikuto's smirk bore into me. Oh my god, what have I gotten myself into?
"Hello, my name is Tadase- may I call you Amu?" He looked at me. I could feel a blush creeping onto my face once again. In the backround, I could swear I saw Ikuto gag.
"S-sure!" I stuttered. I looked over at the girl.
"Well you must be Rima. Nice to meet you! I'm Amu." I held out my hand for a handshake. She just stared at it.
"Ermmm….."
"Well, why don't we go out and have some quality time together!" My mom butted in.
"Okay."
"Sure." Was the replies she got. We got our jackets and headed out.
A few hours before Tadase and Rima met Amu….
Normal POV
Rima, Tadase and Utau were walking down the hallway; ready to leave the building when a rumble erupted. Tadase and Rima stared at Utau.
"Hehe. I guess it's lunchtime…I'm going to get a bite."
"We'll come with you since it's already around lunchtime or even past." Tadase suggested.
They exited the building and there were crowds of people in front of it; either trying to go somewhere or just being squashed in the process.
"Hurry up! I don't want to die form starvation!" Tadase and Rima both sweat dropped. Utau ran into the crowd and left them behind.
"Hey! Utau! We should stick together!" Tadase called out. He was about to run after her but Rima but out a hand to stop her.
"No point. She won't come back and we probably wouldn't be able to find her. Lets just go by ourselves and eat." Rima started walking away. Tadase followed after her. While they were walking to a nearby café, they accidently bumped into Ikuto along the way.
"Hey watch i-Oh it's you."
"Don't 'Oh it's you' me." Rima said in a annoyed tone but then her face broke out into and evil smile.
"Since you bumped into us, you have to pay for us when we go to the café!" Rima said in a happy tone.
"Wha-"
"Do it or else." You could see and feel the aura emitting off of Rima.
"What ever." They were about to go and head to the café when they were interrupted once again.
"Oh, is that you Tadase?" The group turned around to meet the famous couple; Midori and Tsumugu.
"Oh! Miss and Mr Hinamori! What brings you here?"
"We were going to surprise our daughter Amu with a visit~" Midori said happily. Everyone perked up especially Ikuto.
"Did you just say Amu?" Everyone said.
"Yes… Do you know her? I don't remember introducing you to her."
"We…uhhhh heard that uhhhh she… was in a band! Yea, that's it." Tadase replied the best he could.
Way to look not suspicious genius.
"Well would you and your friends like to come along? I'm sure she would like to meet you all!" Midori said enthusiastically while Tsumugu was holding in about the idea. He had a tissue paper and was biting on it.
"We would like that." Tadase and Rima quickly answered.
"I would love to." Ikuto emphasized the love part.
"C'mon!"
"Wait, we need to tell Utau about this." Tadase commented.
"Don't worry, I texted her. Now lets go." Rima closed her cellphone and off they went.
Back to where we left off…
Normal POV
Amu walked uncomfortably next to Tadase while Rima and Ikuto walked behind them. Amu's parents were in front of them. They we currently walking around a plaza which had everything you could ever think of. Something had caught Rima's eye and that was a magazine shop that sold gag manga. She stopped in front of it and stared intently at it.
"Rima, go ahead and look. You don't need to hold back." Midori suggested. The second after she finished her sentence, Rima had ran in, searching for her favourite manga.
"I'll go check up on her so she doesn't get lost." Tadase ran after her. Amu watched his retreating figure. Ikuto noticed this and picked up his pace and ended up walking next to her. They hadn't noticed that they had lost Midori and Tsumugu in the gathering crowd. Ikuto was starting to feel awkward so he tried to start a conversation.
"So…. Anything new?"
"Nothing much." Okay, that was a short conversation. Ikuto had taken notice that she was really depressed.
"So you like kiddy-king?" Amu immediately blushed and looked at him uncertained.
"W-what? And why kiddy-king?"
"It's because he always wanted to be king of the world when he was little."
"Oh…How long have you known him?"
"For a long time I guess. Our parents were mutual friends." They both came across a shop that sold uhhhh undergarments for women. (Sorry I wanted to try to get something going on cuz I really can't think of anything right now.) Ikuto stopped dead in his tracks. Amu turned around and looked at his direction.
"Ikuto, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I was just wondering when your ever going to grow breasts and wear bras." He said while whistling (Is that even possible?)
"P-pervert!"
"The one and only" He said with a smirk. When he looked back at her, he noticed a glint near her neck.
"Hey, what's that?" He pointed at where he saw the glint.
"Oh this? It's a present I received from my parents. Speaking about them, where did they go?"
"Forget about them and lets spend some time together." Ikuto leaned in and bit on her ear. It sent goose bumps up Amu's spine. She swiftly retreated and held her ear with both hands.
"What the heck was that for?"
"I dunno. I felt like doing it." He put his hands behind his head.
"You can't just say you want to! You even a normal person?" They kept on bickering and Ikuto would always end up with the smirk while Amu would be the one the got embarrassed.
"Hey, don't they look like a couple?"
"Yea. Aw, I wish I was with that hot looking guy." Amu overheard their conversation and thought to herself.
Me and him? Get real.
"We should catch up with my parents." I practically ran and tried to find my parents. A strong arm pulled me back and into their chest.
"I-Ikuto!" I smelt a strong smell of cologne coming off of him. Was this how guys usually smelled like? Amu and closed her eyes and sniffed more of it in.
"Are you a scent pervert now?" He once again, bit down on her ear. This woke Amu up from her trance and retreated.
"Again! What's with the ear biting?"
"Amu?" She quickly whipped her head around causing to hit the person behind her with her hair.
"Oh! Sorry!"
"Don't worry."
"Nagihiko! Nadeshiko and Yaya! Where's Kukai?"
"Oh he's out there somewhere. We'll find him eventually" Nadeshiko answered.
"I was wondering if you want to come to our beach house this weekend." Nagihiko asked.
"I would love to but I need to ask my parents first."
"Go ahead Amu!"
"WAHHHH" She spun around and found out that her parents had been listening in the whole time. Stalkers.
"Oh hi there." Nagihiko greeted to Ikuto.
"….Hey."
"Um, so Amu, you can also bring anyone you would like. Maybe this man right here?" Nadeshiko pointed towards Ikuto. A huge smirk spreaded on his face.
"Wha-"
"I would love to." He covered Amu's mouth and the only thing that came out was her muffled protests.
"I already called Kukai and he said he was going to. He also mentioned something about him bringing a girl named Utau." Yaya said all giddy. Amu hung her head down.
What have I gotten myself into?
