Chapter 4

Ikuto's Heartfelt Days

Ikuto POV:

It's been about two weeks since then. I thought Amu wasn't going to come to school, but she came every day. Smiling and laughing as she walked to class with blondie and that guy. For the last these two weeks, I couldn't stop staring at Amu; wondering how much she hates me now. Even once she turned and returned my stare and smiled. That made me jump.

Once she was about to walk over to me at lunch. I quickly stood from my seat and darted out of there. I wanted to talk to Amu but, I was scared. Ha. Me. Scared... I keep picturing Amu's crying face in my mind.

Sometimes I found myself following her to school. Stalker much... Durning the second week she turned facing me on her way to school. I was about a good fifteen feet from her as I stopped. She looked like she was waiting for me catch up to her. Or is she just glaring at me telling me get lost? Yeah I'm pretty sure its the second one...

Today at lunch I watched as Amu talked to Kiddy King, blushing. Pisses me off every time she blushes at another guy. I rather have that Nagihiko punk around her than Kiddy King. As I said that, that punk rested is head on Amu's shoulder. He smiled as Amu's face turned red. Kiddy King blushed, shocked by his actions.

I growled as I saw that. I wanted to kick the living tar out of those guys. I suddenly felt someones stares hitting me. I turned my eyes slightly to see the ice queen, staring at me. And on the other side of the table was a boy with sandy brown hair and green eyes staring at me too. I think he was Kukai or something from the soccer team. We stared at each other til the blond turned to face Kukai saying something. The boy still stared at me.

Then blondie must have said something important because he quickly turned to look at her. Then he smirked and turned back to me and waved. What the hell did she say?

"...to her..." Yuuta said as I turned to him.

"What?" I asked turning to him. He sighed and repeated himself.

"Stop freaking being a wuss and go talk to her." He said with his drak gray eyes telling me he had enough, and was sick of it. He moved his hand through his semi long black hair; long enough to put a hair tie in the back, like he usually does, but he had it down today because some crazed fan girl stole it from him as he slept through 2nd period.

Out of the three of my friends since elementary school, he was the closest because he didn't bug me as the much as Tony and Ken. He always has this bored and serious face. He barely laughs and smiles. But he's really childish at times. He doesn't say much, and says very little at times. He usually just communicates through his eyes. Yuuta sighed. I heard fan girl squeals in the background as he sighed again.

"Your making everyone here worry over your dumb little episode," Yuuta said as I looked at Tony and Ken. Tony just stared at me with his dark red eyes, worried like a puppy. His blondish hair covered his eyes as he looked down at the table. Tony also gave me an headache. Being loud all the time, always smiling, which kind of pisses me off. When ever I yell at him or just be plain flat-out mean, he always comes back to me smiling like we're the best of friends.

He always carefree. I reached my hand out and flicked his forehead. I don't like him when he smiles so much but I hate it even more when he's sad. He half smiled at me with his pale baby face.

Ken had a bored expression. He had his chin in his right hand. He's usually the one that always cracks jokes on me and laughs. He hardly ever stays quiet like this. He's the class clown, which I liked. It made class go by so quickly. But I also hated it when he freaks out. He's so damn loud; even louder than Tony. I stared at him for a second.

"It's no fun bugging you when you're like this. You really are gloom and doom now," Ken said with his black eye's not looking into mine. He had lighter tan skin then me and he has spiky dark purple bed hair that sometimes makes me want to attack him with a brush. I chuckled. I picked up my sandwich and took a bite. These guys-

"KEN!!" I yelled spitting out the bite I had taken. Ken had his hands over his stomach laughing his butt off. I took the freakin' sandwich and threw it at him. Yuuta and Tony started laughing at me.

"You...bastard's..." I hissed at them. They know I hate being laughed at, especially when I'm not in a good mood.

"Mr. Kitty shouldn't say such words to his friends!" Ken rubbed my head like a cat. I glared at him like I was going to strangle him. He quickly removed his hand, and climbed over the table wrapping his arms around my neck hanging there. Yuuta just wrapped his arms around my neck from behind. I stood out of my seat about to walk off with Yuuta on my back like I was giving him a piggy back ride and Ken in front clinging to my neck. They pissed me off when ever they decide to cling to me for no reason.

"Tony, just who in the hell are you waving at!?" I yelled as Tony quickly turned his head around looking at me putting his hand down. He had a sad expression. And dove under the table, wrapping his arms around my left leg.

"Why do they get to cling to you while I can't!?" Tony whined rubbing his face into my leg.

"YOU MORONS!!! GET OFF!!" I yelled at them as I tried to shake Tony off and pull off Ken and Yuuta. I quickly looked in the direction where Tony was waving. I felt a stare coming from the same the same spot. I saw Amu staring at us. My mouth dropped.

Her friends were staring too, but they didn't matter. Amu covered her mouth giggling. I quickly stormed out of the cafeteria with the three on me.

"Oh! Mr. Kitty is embarrassed!" Ken said as let go of my neck. Yuuto followed and let go while Tony stayed clinging to my leg. I was breathing hard. I had dragged three guys all the way to the other side of the school. DING DONG!

"There goes the bell. Lets just skip 4th period. Mr. Peters is a push over; he wouldn't mind," Ken said. Tony let go of my leg and jumped up.

"So what are we going to do!?" Tony shouted, hyped up staring at Ken as he spoke. I turned to see Yuuta staring at the gloves and baseball that the PE class left.

"How about we play a game of catch?" I asked, turning to Tony and Ken.

"YAY! Catch!" Tony yelled as he walked over to where the gloves lay, tripping on one. Ken stepped on Tony's back making him in cry out in pain. Ken had bent down looking at the gloves when Yuuta dropped the baseball, hitting Ken on the head which caused him to roll on the ground in pain with his hands on his head.

Yuuta just stared at Tony who was on the ground, face-planted in dirt. Wondering if he was still breathing. You morons...

30 minutes later.

We were throwing the ball back and forth on the soccer field. Ken was doing his so called Striking Death Throw.

"Great" I mumbled as the ball flew over our heads next to the sidewalk that lead into the school. About twenty-five feet, I think. The baseball rolled and hit Amu on the side of her shoe. WAIT AMU!?! I watched her put down her book and pass, probably doing an errand for a teacher, on the ground.

She picked up the baseball. And looked at us on the soccer field. She stopped and stared at me. I'm guessing she's going to throw it to me. She got in position and threw the baseball as hard as she could. But I don't know how, and I highly doubt it was the wind that shifted the movenment of the baseball.

But that baseball had curved and and ended up going behind Amu breaking the window. There was a loud scream. We all stared at the broken glass that fell to the ground. Tony and Ken quickly dropped their gloves and hauled their asses out of there. I stared at Amu from behind. She was shaking. Could she have been cut by a shard of glass?!

"AMU!!!!" I screamed terrified of her being hurt. She quickly turned to look at me. Her face was pale. I couldn't tell if she was just shocked or hurt. I threw my glove to the ground. I took a few steps, about to runto her, when Yuuta grabbed my arm.

"YOU THERE!!!" The police officer of the school, Mr. Leman, yelled at us as he ran towards us. I didn't care.

"AMU!!!" I yelled again, but Yuuta just began dragging me by my arm. Amu just stared and yelled.

"RUN!!! HURRY!!" I sighed in relief; at least she wasn't hurt. Run? Yuuta and I just looked at each other. There was one thing that we were sure about; something we absolutely known about each other. We. Don't. Run. So we had to speedwalk away from the officer that chased us for three blocks.

We turned into an alleyway. I was dead tired. Yuuta had went to sit down with his back against the wall of the alley. BIZZ!!

"WHOA!!" I screamed as my pants vibrate. HOLY FU- WH-WHAT THE?! WHAT THE FREAK WAS THAT!!?... I took out my cell and flipped it open, not looking at Yuuta's 'WTF?' face, and put it to my ear, I didn't brother checking the caller ID.

"WHERE ARE YOU AT!?!?" Ken screamed into my ear.

"YOU KNOW WHERE I'M AT!! AND I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT!!! YOU JUST FREAKIN' WALKED PASSED ME, YOU FREAKIN' MORON!!!" I screamed into the cell phone. And flipped it shut.

I looked down the alleyway opposite from where Yuuta, and saw Ken's face peek into the alleyway. He and Tony came over to us. Tony came infront of me as said,

"Hey yo-"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" A man screamed that made everyone jump but Ken.

"It's Erica!!" Ken said happily as he held his cell phone like it was gold.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" WHAT THE FREAK!? Was that his ring tone!? Ken stared at his phone, he always lets it ring four times before he anwsers it.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH-" BAM!!

"SHELLY!!!" Ken screamed his cell phone's name as he ran over to try and put her back together. But it was hopeless. Shelly was gone. I chuckled evily.

"YOU MONSTER!!" Ken yelled with tears in his eyes.

"S-She never had a ch-ch-chance!!!" Ken's voice sounded like he just lost his lover. I turned to Tony. WHAT THE!!? IS HE FREAKIN' CRYING TOO!?

"The poor soul..." Tony said as a tear fell down his face. "He knew her well." Tony added with sorrowful voice. I walked over to Ken and started stomping on the remains of Shelly. Ken screamed as he dove under my foot to make me stop stomping on her. Well that didn't work. I still stomped on him.

"YOU FOUR!!" Yelled Mr. Leman as he dashed towards us.

"It's the po!! The popo!! 5-0, THE LAW MAN!! THE FUZZ!! THE HEAT!! THE BACONNNNNNN-" Yuuta had slapped the back of Ken's head, making him shut up. Ken and Tony began running as Yuuta and I speed walked our asses out of there.

As we made our way around the corner. Ken began acting like he was running in slow-mo. What the!? THIS ISN'T BAYWATCH! Then he suddenly began moving his head back and forth so that his hair would be blowing in the wind. No. I put out my leg out and tripped him as I speedwalked.

Ken fell face first into the ground. Ken's head popped up.

"TRAITOR!!!!!!!!" He yelled all dramatically. We all kept on going. Ken quickly caught up to us. We turned another corner and we were done. Tony dropped to the floor, tired. Ken was hanging on to the wall trying not to hit to the floor. I had my hands on my knees, bent over trying to catch my breath.

I looked up to see Yuuta staring into the CD shop we were in front of. He was staring at poster inside that read CANDY CAKES NEW SINGLE!!!(o.O) Oh yeah, I forgot this guy had weird taste. He stood there. I could tell that he wanted it, but he didn't have any money.

This guy is always broke. His parent's don't give him allowance, he's not allowed to have a job and his curfew is 8, school days 6. His parents are scared that if they give him money, that he'll buy a one way bus ticket out of here. Hey I would too.

Have you seenhis parents? They're freaks! They're Tony and Ken mixed together times ten! If I was him, I would've been gone. I would rather sleep in a ditch than stay in that wacko house. My God, you should've seen them when they met me in 2nd grade. I shook my head at the flashback.

"I'll buy it for you," I said to Yuuta. He turned his head to me as his sparkly eyes read friend. We walked into the store then I got the CD and stood in line. People began turning to us. Whispering how hot we looked. There were fan girl squeals and what not; just the same old same old. Some how the line of people made a path between them.

So I marched my ass up to the front of the line like I was Jesus. I slam the CD down, waiting for the girl to tell me how much it cost.

"$9.68" She said as she licked her bottom lip. "I'll give you a discount if you give me your number," She said with a smile trying to seduce me. This was the usual, so I was about to flirt back to get the CD cheaper when Amu popped into my head. My mind went blink and I stood there. The girl waved her hand in my face.

"Are you alright?" She asked as Ken came in and put his hand on my shoulder and smiled at the girl making her blush.

"I'm so sorry!! He's been watching porn all night and seeing such a cute girl, I see why he's so -" Ken giggled, the lady's face turned to very bright red color. She handed Ken the CD.

"It's free...Here...Take it...Leave...Now." she mumbled as she turned over to the other group of girls behind the counter squealing. We walked out of the store and the butt-kicking began. Tony went over and looked at CD that Yuuta had wanted.

"Ikuto, why did you freeze up like that?" Tony asked, looking at me. I let go of Ken's shirt and thought for a second.

"Is it about Amu?" Ken asked staring at me.

"No." I said quickly, staring back him.

"I think it's about Amu."

"It's not."

"I know!! It was about porn, right!?"

"No."

"I'm pretty sure it's porn." I was about to pimp slap the mess out of him when Yuuta cut in.

"I'm pretty sure, it's you thinking about porn." Ken thought for a minute.

"Not really." Then why did you take so long to answer!? I turned to see Tony had his hands over his ears, trying to block us out. He is such a kid.

Later that day, Tony waved good bye and Ken yelled, "See you tomorrow!!"

Yuuta and I were about to part when he stared at me. I sighed.

"I know...I will" I said to him as I put my hand on the back of my neck, rubbing it. Then we went our separate ways.

Next Morning.

I stared at Amu as she walked out of her house and began walking to school. She was talking to her self, probably talking to her charas in the bag on her hip.I began to follow her. I began speed walking to try and catch up to her. Then I began running, and I never run. NEVER! I don't run because when I do run I looked like a retard. Uncool man. UNCOOL.But I wanted to speak to Amu quickly.

"Huh?" she said as I wrapped my arms around her from behind.

"Amu..." I said as I breathed in her scent of strawberries in her hair.

"I-Ikuto?" Amu said as she pushed me off of her. She looked at me then the ground, not knowing what to say. Then she turned around and took a few steps while turning her head to face me.

"Aren't you comin'?" She said as calm as she could. As we walked to school, there was silence. So much for speaking to her. I couldn't say a single word that I wanted to say. I looked at Amu and it looked like she wasn't going to say anything. So I decide to break the silence.

"You know the back of your skirt is caught in your underwear."

"KYYYYYAAAAAAA!!" She screamed as as she covered her chest... Wh-what the? Why is she covering her chest? Did she block out every word but underwear? She quickly dropped her arms from her chest. She turned away from me, trying not let me see her embarrassed face.

"I-Ikuto?...Yo-" Amu began as she was cut off by an "AMU-CHI!!" We looked around and realized we were already at school. She stared at me.

"Can we talk? At lunch?...Behind the gym?" Amu looked at me with watery eyes; probably because she couldn't say what she wanted to say. I nodded as a short girl in pigtails grabbed Amu's arm and began dragging her away.

Later then day.

I decide to skip 2nd period because it was self study. I was walking outside when I saw a soccerball come flying from the soccer field.

"Can you throw the ball?!" I turned to see Kukai waving from the soccer field. Amu had picked up the ball and sat it down as she got in position to kick it. They were a few meters away from me.

"Umm...Amu, it's ok, just toss it here..." Kukai yelled to her.

"No! I wanna kick it!!" She yelled back as she backed up from the ball.

"I'll see your panties again!!" Amu's face turned red. PANTIES!! AGAIN??!! He's seen them before?! I glared at him for a second. Then turned to Amu. 'Wait. She wasn't wearing heart clips this morning,' I thought as Amu ran towards the ball, full-force, sending that ball flying up towards space.

WHAT THE!? I turned to see Amu's clips changed back and she felled to the ground on her back. Was that a chara change? Kukai ran over to her to help her up. He was laughing. Amu had wondered what happen.

"Still childish I see!" He laughed as Amu's face turned red.

"SHUT UP!!" She yelled...That guy is officially is on my hit list. Then he patted her head. That's it. He's dead. I heard laughter coming towards me on my right. I turned to see Tony.

"Dude!! Your expression!! It changed so much in the past 3 minutes!! What were you thinking about?" Tony laughed. What was I thinking about? Murdering Kukai with this key I had in my pocket; that is what I was thinking about!

DING DONG!

Lunch. I left Tony behind as I took off, walking to the gym. As I went behind it, I heard voice.

"Nya, Miki, You know- Hey isn't that Iku...TO!!" Yoru screamed as he saw me glaring at him. I grabbed him in my hand and stared at him.

"And just where the hell have you been the past few days?"

"I DON'T KNOW!!!" Yoru yelled as I looked like I was going to kill my chara.

"He was staying at Amu's house." The blue chara named Miki said.

"Amu's huh?"

"I'M SORRY!!!" He yelled as I let him go sighing.

"Amu's waiting for you over there." Miki said as she pointed further down. We made our way over to her. She was deep in thought, Suu was floating around her. She didn't even notice that I was infront of her as she leaned on the wall. She quickly lifted her head to look at me. She stared for a second.

"I-Ikuto..."

"Amu..." There was silence.

"Umm...I-Ikuto..."

"...Amu..." Clearly we weren't getting anywhere. She couldn't say what she wanted to say and I couldn't either. And I freakin' stayed up all night writing an essay on what to say to her. And I studied it too! But all of those words had disappeared.

"Umm...Ikuto...I," Amu looked away from my eyes, blushing as she started messing with her fingers.

"Hmmmm..." Was all I could get out. She looked so cute when she was nervous.

"Can...we...Is it possible, we... can forget...What happened at my house..." She said as she looked back into my eyes.

"Like it never happened...I miss being around you..." She said as her blush darken. I felt so glad that she said a few of the things I wanted to tell her. Wait she...

"...You missed me?" I said smirking as I lean my head slightly closer to her making her bang her head on the wall.

"Wh-"

"Sounds like you likeme, Amu." I said smirking at her as she blushed some more. How I liked it when she blushed at me.

"W-What!? I d-don't like you!" She said losing eye contact. I felt my cat ears and tail pop out. She turned slowly to me. She stared at me as her face lightened up. Wh-what? She began moving her hands towards my face that made me jump a little. She moved them to the top of my head. Touching my cat ears.

I stared at her as she smiled. She was playing with my ears. She giggled. Then she suddenly looked confused. She removed her hands and stared at me.

"Are you getting a fever? Your face is so red Ikuto." She sounded worried. I took a few steps away from her and turned my back to her. I covered my face with my hand. She's so cute! I heard a faint voice but didn't catch it all.

...-irl...CHARA CHANGE!

I turned to Amu as her plus clips changed into hearts. She suddenly smiled like she was the happiest girl alive.

"IKUTO!!" She screamed in joy as she ran into my chest, hugging me. What... She started rubbing her face into my chest smiling. What? WHAT!! I could feel her breasts being rubbed on my chest. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! I screamed in my mind, not daring to hug her back

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER IKUTO!!! BAD!! VERY BAD!! I kept yelling at myself. I completely froze as my fists shook by my sides.

"Ikuto?" She said quieting as she looked up at me with this cutest face I had ever seen. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! SOMEONE GET HER OFF ME!!! I quickly grabbed Amu's shoulder and pushed her off. She looked hurt.

"Why...Do you hate me?" She said as she started crying a little. WHAT!? Who said I hated her!? I looked at her when suddenly she began sobbing like crazy. Waterworks were flying everywhere. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!!?

Without thinking I quickly grabbed Yoru and began rubbing him on Amu's face trying to soak up the tears with his fur. GOD!! HE'S SO USELESS!! HE'S NOT SOAKING UP ANYTHING!! Amu began crying louder as Yoru did too. I quickly tossed Yoru else where. I GOT IT! I licked Amu's face to wipe the tears. SLAP!

"PERVERT!!" She yelled as wiped her face. She...She just slapped...me...she's so gonna pay for that. I looked at Amu to see that she had her plus clips were back. Hehe What the-. Amu's pink egg floated out of little bag on her hip. It started cracking. Pop!

Out came a little chara with pink hair in a side ponytail, hot pink eye's, and was wearing a a pink cheer leading outfit.

"AMU-CHAN!! I'M RAN YOUR SHUGO CHARA!!" She cheered. "I came from your feelings of wanting to be better at sports!! And at expressing your true self!!"

"YOU CALL THAT MY TRUE SELF!!" Amu yelled at her new chara. She laughed and floated over to me. She covered her mouth and giggled at me and floated back over to Amu. I glared at the chara. 'Was she mocking me!?' I sighed.

"Let's go Yoru." I said as I started walking and Yoru followed.

"Wait!" Amu called to me. I turned my head slightly to look at her.

"...See you." She said as a blush crossed over her face as she smiled. I nodded when I saw Yoru wave goodbye to Amu's blue chara. I smirked at Yoru. "WHAT! NYA!"

"It's nothing" I smiled as I patted him on the head.

Tell me what you think of this chapter!!! Please R&R!!
