This chapter is dedicated to the people who died in the Titanic and those who suffered. O.O
Okay, let me explain. This past week or so, I've been obsessed with the Titanic. I've watched the movie 2 times, I've read the books, etc. I just felt so sad! So this is dedicated for those who suffered loss and those who died.

Amu's POV
"Life was hard for me. I was new to school. Ever since I stared at the class and said, "Yo", they all started naming me "Cool & Spicy" for some reason. Minus, my mom and dad were having.....money problems, I guess you could call it. They said I had parents that were models, photographers for models, private musicians, etcetera. I really don't know how I got that name though.."
I let my story end there. I wasn't going to tell him everything. If I did, I might break down crying.
...Or maybe not. At least not in front of him.
"So, that's it." he murmured staring at me in a very different way he usually does. I felt an uneasy feeling in my stomach.
"W-What is it?" I stuttered. He still kept staring, now his mouth parting slightly. I waved a hand over his face.
"Huh?" he said when he was snapped out of his reverie. I put my palm on his head. It was hot. I sighed, the blush still on my cheeks from last time.
"You're burning, Ikuto! Lay down! Get some rest." I said. My voice sounded worried. He shook his head. His whole face was red from a fever! Uh oh. Not good.
"Why not!" I screamed. He didn't even flinch. [A/N: I'm going to grab this scene from Special A, okay? 'Cause I've got nothin' and that scene was really sweet. But, I'm gonna change it a bit.] He was sniffling and his eyes were watery. He needs to rest!
"B-Because.." he said. I waited, impatiently.
"Fine, if you won't go to sleep, I'm going." I started getting up, and stopped when I felt a hot hand on my wrist. I still didn't look back.
"Please...don't go. I need you here." he whispered. I was still looking towards his bedroom door, not looking at him. I blushed furiously and my eyes widened.
Did he just say what I think he said?
Suddenly, my wrist felt free from the hotness of his palm. I looked back, this time, and saw that he was asleep. I sighed a sigh of relief. That was some....action there. I looked back at him and he was smiling in his dreams. Plus, he looked so peaceful. And calm. And so defenseless. Nothing like how he acts at school. I smiled. I'm actually glad I came here. My eyes widened in horror.
Wait...WHAT THE HELL?!
I did NOT just say that. No I did not. Never will.
Remember Amu, he's going to forgot about everything and act like the obnoxious jerk he's always in school.
That thought calmed me down some. Yeah, he would forget about everything. But, for some odd reason, I wanted to do something to him. My mind was yelling, NO, but my instincts wanted to do it. A battle between heart and mind. I decided to trust my instincts and leaned down slowly to his face. My pink hair fell on his face. I bit my lip, still staring at his face. Oh god, oh god, oh god, please don't tell me I'm gonna regret this. I leaned down closer and kissed his forehead. He opened his eyes then and I stared at him, horror struck. I knew I shouldn't have done that!
"What...?" he stared saying. I quickly stepped back and thought of an excuse.
"Uh...eto...y-you know th-they say that if you k-kiss somebody, th-they'll h-heal faster, so..." I shut my eyes tightly, waiting for...something. But, as minutes ticked by, nothing happened.
"Oh." he said, and turned around, pulling the covers over his head. I caught a glimpse of his eyes while he was turning and he looked...sad?
"Yeah....d-do you want to eat anything?" I asked, his back still turned to me.
"No, I'm good. Leave me alone. I'm tired." he murmured. I sighed. I walked out the door and shut it quietly. I looked at the pale cream door of his bedroom.
"What is up with him?"
.:snowiisan:.
Ikuto's POV
I stared at my bedroom door and sighed.
""You know, they say if you kiss somebody, they'll heal faster." So that's why she did it..." I smiled. She just did it. With no purpose at all. After a few minutes, I smelled something burning in the kitchen. I closed my eyes, irritated. I told her no. But, she did it anyway. I got out of my bed, unwillingly and walked to the kitchen, closing my bedroom door. I don't want my bedroom smelling like...dead gas. If gas was dead. I walked to the kitchen and black gas blocked my whole vision. I couldn't even see the culprit of the mess. I yawned and quietly walked to the cupboard and opened it. There sat there, was the fire extinguisher. I pulled it out and adjusted it so it was the right amount. Then I sprayed it over the fog.
"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Kitchen. Amu?" I emphasized each word. I saw her turning slowly towards me. Her face was all covered in....food. I pressed my lips into a tight line from laughing.
"Uh...I'm sorry, Ikuto!" she said, holding her hands up in surrender. But the thing was, I wasn't going to forgive her. Not for ruining my kitchen! I started walking towards her and eventually, her back was against the wall. [A/N: Damn. It's so hard to type on a mini netbook. Anyway, I think you all know where this is going. XD A lot of people have this scene in their story, so I decided to have it on mine! XD]
Ikuto! Stop it! You shouldn't harass her like that!
I was face to face with her. My hands on either side of her small face.
Ikuto! Stop!!
I ignored what my conscious was saying to me and smirked in a seductively way.
"Now, you have to apologize. The right way." I whispered in her ear. She turned her face to look at me, her eyes wide. I smirked.
"W-What do you mean the r-r-right w-way?" she stuttered. I shook my head, then brought my lips to her ear again so whenever I would move my lips, they would brush against her ear.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Amu. You know what I'm talking about." I seductively whispered.
"N-Noo..." she muttered, but I had already starting licking her ear.
"I-Ikuto, w-what are y-you doing?!" she tried pushing me off, but, could she? No. That's one great thing about being a man. You're almost always stronger than girls. I chuckled.
"Getting back at you Amu. What else?" I lifted her up, bridal style, and lied her on the couch.
"W-Wha'..." I smiled down at her. She looked surprised. I put my hands on my hips and sighed.
"You don't even know I'm kidding..." I ran my hand through my hair, enjoying the feeling. But, I enjoyed that scene we just had, even more.
"Y-You what!?" she screamed. See? I knew I shouldn't have done it. But, its just....so tempting. Her small fragile body...
It seems like you can do anything to it.
"I was kidding, Amu. Just playing. Just kidding. It was nothing. God..it still stinks in here." I said, regretting each word and wishing I didn't say anything. The truth was, I wasn't playing here.
"Oh." I glanced at her and she looked...sad? Why? Did she like me? Pfft. Yeah..that's a good idea.
.:snowiisan:.
Amu's POV
Wait. Was was I feeling so sad? My stomach had butterflies and my head hurts.
"Neh, Ikuto, do you have aspirin?" I asked, feeling a bit woozy. I saw him glance at me with...a hint of worry or something? Nah. It was probably the 'something'.
"Nope. This is the first time I've ever gotten sick so.." he trailed it off and for the millionth time, I felt like ripping his gut out. Cross that. I felt like ripping his throat out. Damn it. I walked up to where I was standing and lifted my hand to his forehead, to check if it was still burning. It was..gone. Like he never had a fever. That's good. He stiffened under my touch and the corners of his lips were turning up into a smile or smirk? Who cares. I flopped onto the couch. I've never noticed his apartment. Whenever you would come in, you could see a wall transparent that viewed the whole city. The other walls were blue. In between the door and the odd wall, was the living room. With black leather couches, blue rugs, and a white coffee table with a few magazines. To the right side of the living room, was a hallway with doors leading to his bedroom, guest room, bathroom, and all that junk. [A/N: This made sense, right?] I turned back to him.
"That's a relief. I thought you would be sick for a while, but turns out, you'll already better." I sighed. Now, I wasn't feeling well. The thought of eating even made me sick.
"Huh. I guess I was sick for on-" he got cut off by the door bell ringing.
"I'll get it." I said, standing up and walking towards the door. It rang again. A couple of times. I opened the door and stood a dude with orangish hair and green eyes. Immediately, my "Cool & Spicy" character kicked in. [A/N: Yay! This time I didn't write "Cooly" when I was writing "Cool & Spicy"! It may sound retarded but it's a big achievement for me!] I narrowed my eyes. And for some reason, I didn't feel sick anymore.
"Who. Are. You?" I asked, suspicious. He looked suspicious.
"Hey, Hey! Don't look at me like I'm all crazy! I'm Souma Kukai! Friend of Tsukiyomi."
My expression softened a bit and he blinked, like he was confused.
"Kukai." I heard Ikuto say from behind me.
"Tsukiyomi." Kukai said. Uh...awkward much? Minus, what was up with the stupid name greeting anyway? I decided to join in.
"Ikuto. Kukai." I said, nodding towards both of them. They looked at me like I was crazy, all I did was I had a confused look on my face. Suddenly, Kukai's face turned confused.
"Neh, Hinamori. What are you doing here?" he asked, sounding like he was bewildered. But..at what?
"None of your busine-"
"She's my nurse. She's taking care of me." Ikuto cut in, smirking. I gasped. What the hell was that for!?
"O-"
"Ikuto!"
"No worries, Amu. Kukai here, knows about my "true side" and hopefully yours too." he said, calmingly. Yet, when he said it, I did feel calm. Weird.
"Anyway, Hinamori, you're his nurse?" Kukai asked, acting a little impatient.
"Uh...yeah, I guess so." I blushed and scratched the back of my head, hoping it was a sort of distraction for them. Thankfully, the subject changed.
"Hey, Hinamori, wanna help me get some stuff outta my car?" Kukai asked. He had a bit of excitement in his voice for I don't know what. Nothings best then getting out stuff from a trunk! ..Not really.
"Sure." I smiled. I turned and my smile quickly faded into a glare.
"You. Stay here." I said, pointing to Ikuto. He merely shrugged.
"I don't see why not." he said, indifferently.
"Of course you wouldn't, retard." I murmured and walked out the door towards Kukai car with Kukai. I walked done the apartment complex to his car. Dang! The building was so tall! How could Ikuto afford this? Well duh. I mentally smacked myself. He's Tsukiyomi. A weirdo. He probably stole that condo from someone. I walked by Kukai's BMW.
"Nice." I said. He smiled, his teeth flashing. I blushed a bit.
.:snowiisan:.
Regular POV
"Hey, Hinamori, can I ask you somethin'?" Kukai asked, having a weird expression on his face. Amu was oblivious to it. She was too busy admiring his BMW. She heard it, but thought it wasn't an "Yes" or "No" question, so she said,
"Sure."
She was still fumbling through his trunk, unaware of how the uncomfortable atmosphere Kukai was holding.
"So, Hinamori, I was wondering if...you know, you would like to...um...be my girlfriend?" he asked. This time, Amu froze, almost all color drained from her face. What would she say? She didn't like Kukai that way. At least she didn't think. Suddenly, Ikuto popped into her mind. Him smirking, smiling, laughing. All those facial expressions she'd seen on his face. Wait, why am I thinking of Ikuto at a time like this? She stopped fumbling through his stuff and walked so she was beside him. She didn't want to hurt his feelings. She didn't want to lie either. Maybe one little date wouldn't hurt, would it? If I don't think of him that way, I'll dump him or tell him how I really feel.
Ikuto had frozen when he had heard those words. He felt angry at Kukai for asking those words. And angry at Amu for taking so long when she could've just answered, "No.". But, she didn't. Ikuto saw her, staring at Kukai, with a horror struck and completely confused expression. She saw her open her mouth to say the words that both of them wanted to hear.
"Sure. I'll try. I'll be your girlfriend."
Snowii: I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry!!! I've always done at least 1 chapter late T-T I was gonna keep this story on my "No Chapters Late" list, but it's already off the list on Chapter 4. T-T I'm sorry everybody!
Ikuto: You do know that not everyone cares, right? They have other stories they keep preoccupied by. Just like you.
Snowii: Really? o.o
Amu: Yup, dumb***
Snowii: You cussed! O.O
Amu: I felt like it. -shrugs-
Ikuto: Okay...making a big deal over cussing, who does that these days?

Life can be hard for me. But, I just live through it. School pisses me off the most. -_-
