Ikuto stared at the diary. Should he really open it and peer into Amu's thoughts. Compared to everything else he has done, this wouldn't even count as a bad thing. But he did feel some guilt.
"A girl's diary, a door into a girl's mind; a girl's heart."
He knew that reading Amu's diary wouldn't even seem as bad compared to the other things he has done to her but somehow he felt that he shouldn't. He just kept looking at the book. 'Man, come on Ikuto. I when through a lot to get this book and now I can't open it to read it.'
This triggered a flashback to when Amu was kissing him. He wondered what that was about. Why did she kiss him? Who was she kissing in her dream?? Maybe all the answers would be answered in the diary.
Ikuto brought himself back to the diary and looked at it. It was intimidating. There could be anything in this book.
Then he pulled out the CD he took from Amu's somewhat "secret" stash. He was still surprised to see that she listened to classical music. The music on the CD, Ikuto recognized. Some of the songs were really complex in the message they sent. He wondered if Amu even understood what the music was trying to tell.
He sighed. He decided that the park was not the appropriate place to read the diary. He decided to go home. Yoru wouldn't go there considering that he would probably be out all night fooling around with the stray cats.
With Utau, she was out of town for a concert tour. She had been out of the house more and more since she quit the Easter Company and later it closed down. She was quickly signed with another production company and now she is traveling across the world. She seems to be much happier now.
Ikuto got up and leaped into the trees going home. As he made his way, he had one thing in his mind, Amu's kiss. He was interested to listen to the CD and what was inside the diary. But the kiss was what really had him question. He knew it was an accident since she was technically sleeping, sleepwalking, whatever you want to call it. But she was really into the kiss. It was as if she was kissing her lover or something.
Another thing was, it was technically his first kiss, ignoring the fact that Utau kiss him before. But this kiss, it was sincere and full of emotion. For his first but unintentional kiss, Ikuto actually like it. He smirked at the fact that it was probably Amu's first kiss as well. He laughed at the fact that she lost it to him without knowing.
He finally reached his house and climbed into his room through the window. The house was empty. His parents were out of town as well, for business. He had the whole house to himself.
Before cracking down with the diary, he set it on his bed along with the CD and went downstairs to the kitchen. He took out a bottle of milk from the fridge along with some crackers and spread able salmon. He returned to his room with the food and laid on the bed. He turned on the TV and laid there watching while nibbling on some crackers topped with salmon.
It was the same ol' boring stuff on TV so he turned it off. He turned his attention to the "loot". He kept stalling on the diary so he took the CD and put in the CD player then turned on the stereo. The first song began and it had a soothing sound. He closed his eyes to listen. He was surprised. Amu had good taste in music. Well, in the classical department.
He continued to listen as he imagined Amu. 'Why would Amu even listen to this music? This isn't really what I would find, her style.'
"………huh? Hinamori Amu……"
He opened his eyes and rolled over to grab another salmon topped cracker. As he nibbled on the cracker, he got a little bit of salmon on his lip. He licked it off with his tongue and then imagined Amu again; Amu kissing him.
Ikuto sighed. There was no end to this until he looked into the diary. He glanced at it with curious dull eyes. He couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed the book and sat up. He scooted back on the bed so he could lean on the wall.
As he placed his hand on the book to open it, he got the hesitant feeling again. 'Should I really read this?'
"Ugh……"
He had a stubborn face. He quit being a scaredie cat (I could've put another word. XP) and opened the book. He was shocked to see all the writing that was in the book, let alone the first page. He didn't want to be sucked into the book but his curiosity took over. The expression literally took place, Curiosity killed the Cat.
The first page apparently was dated the first day of school a year ago when Amu moved here. Ikuto wasn't surprised that she was scared crazy and shy that day. He laughed the fact that she played it cool.
He continued to flip through the pages to see anything interesting than Amu's boring first year. Then there was an entry that caught his eye. It was dated the day when her guardian charas were born. He could've died laughing.
'Dear diary,
WAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT'S GOING ON?! This morning I woke up and found three eggs in my bed!! I don't get it. I know that eggs equal babies to some animals but I'm a human!! Aren't humans supposed to have the baby not get them in egg form?? And I know that babies come from "this and that" even though I don't know exactly how that works. WAAA T.T How did this happen to me? The eggs were even warm when I found them. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!'
Ikuto smiled. He had to admit, this was better than the boring TV. He continued to read on, flipping through pages to skip the not so important stuff. Then he found an entry that was about him. 'Huh it seems that this was when we first met.'
'Dear diary,
Ugh! I met the weirdest guy today. I swear he is a hentai!! He was talking about some embryo and searching in my pockets!! I don't even know what this embryo is. He had no consideration that he was touching me close to areas that shouldn't be open to anyone! Man! He was so strange and then infuriating! And what's the craziest part, he was wearing these cosplay cat ears and tail. But they seem so real. The tail was moving and his ears twitched at times. Well anyways, I still think he is a hentai.'
Ikuto laughed out loud this time but it was little chuckles. He couldn't believe the impression he sent to her. Even though it was what he intended, he didn't know he made such an impact on her. When he first saw her, he just thought she was a air head girl that was real touchy. He had fun messing with her that day. He turned to the next page. This one was about Tadase.
"Ha! What is up with that Kiddy King?" Ikuto said to himself.
'Dear diary,
Oh My GOSH! Hotori Tadase…the king's chair of the guardians. He is so cute! I have to admit I didn't care about the guardians or even at that, knew who they were but Tadase is just amazing. He is so kind and a shy yet he tries to be a leader. He invited me to be part of the guardians, the Joker. I don't know if the name really fits me but I want to accept so I can be with him. His blond hair and red eyes……EEEKKK……so cute! Well anyways I don't even think he likes me. He is kind to me but then again, he is kind to everyone. And after that incident in the auditorium with Ran, I don't think I have a chance with him. Man what was with that character chance anyways?! What was sooo embarrassing! . Well I guess I will just have to work real hard to get him to like me I guess.'
"Wow…she makes the Kiddy King sound like something else. Ha! She is so naïve." Ikuto muttered.
He then turned to another entry that was dated a while apart from the others. The interesting part was that it spoke of him again! He made sure he read carefully with this one.
'Dear diary,
Tsukiyomi Ikuto. He tired apologizing today. He brought a bag of sweets to me and it seemed he was having some trouble getting his message through. Even though he was struggling and is technically my enemy, I still found it kind of him to come and apologize. Although, he did mess with me again!! He was going to tell me something important and he was leaning in closer to me. I was getting nervous that this hentai was going to do something to me but then he bit my ear!! Ugh! What a freak! Well anyways, I see something in him; something genuine.'
Ikuto paused as he finished the entry. He was taken back that she had some good thoughts about him. It really seemed that she was interested in him and wanted to get to know him more as she did as time passed. He felt that he should stop before he found out anything else but then he was engulfed in the book.
His ear twitched when he tuned in to the song that was playing. I was quiet similar to the song he played on the violin. He wondered if the classical music had anything to do with his song.
He looked back to the diary and turned the page to see yet again another entry about him. He was perplexed.
'Dear diary,
Ikuto………there is something to that guy. I was at the park and then I heard this beautiful melody. I followed it to find that it was Ikuto who was playing. He was so handsome when I saw him with the moon behind him. And the violin. He is such an amazing player. The song he was play was so mystifying. I felt as if there was a history to it. But the song also sent a depressing emotion. I think Ikuto has some kind of sad past or present life. I wish I could get to know him better.'
"So I was right. She bought the CD because she heard my song. Huh…that kid……"
He was curious after that point. If he made such an impression on Amu, did she have even more entries about him?
He flipped thought the pages to see more and more things written involving him. His eyes widened a bit to see that he was the center attention to Amu. Then something hit him! What about this evenings entry?!
He quickly flipped over to today's date and there it was, the entry that Ikuto was interested the whole time; the entry that motivated him into taking the book in the first place. He was shocked but then a tad disappointed to see that the entry wasn't about him. It was about Tadase. 'Huh……I guess that Kiddy King finally got the courage to ask her out on a date. …………wait!'
'Dear diary,
Today was amazing! I spent the whole day with Tadase!! I can't believe he asked me to go to the amusement park! Even though that rollercoaster was the worst thing I even encountered, the rest of the day totally made up for that. He smiled throughout the whole time. He was so kind and he really looked like he cared for me. When I got home, I swore he was going to kiss me but …I guess he just wasn't ready. I still don't know if he likes me or if he likes Amulet Heart. But I mean, we did make some progress. Well anyways, I wonder that Ikuto is doing. We haven't had any X eggs in a while and because of that, I haven't been seeing him. Man, Tsukiyomi Ikuto. He hard to read. He is supposed to be my enemy, what with Easter and stuff, even though it closed down. I still think they're up to something. But Ikuto, he keeps helping me and we had moments before where, I don't know, but we just had some kinda connection. Was it because he has the Dumpty Key and I have the Humpty Lock? There was that one time where he was going to combine them, but I got nervous and he just stopped. I wonder what would've happened. Huh, Ikuto still is a mystery to me. I wonder if he will ever open up to me. Well, I mean not like you know emotional like dating feelings kinda think!! . Just like what's going on with him and stuff. Sometimes I get the feeling he is everywhere I go. It's sometimes a comforting feeling but then sometimes it's scary. I still think he is a hentai. He keeps surprising me and sneaking up on me. But its not all that bad sometimes. Well anyways Ran, Miki, and Su now know about you so I guess I will have to be real discrete about when to write again.'
Ikuto was shocked. There was so much what Amu wanted to know about him. So much that she spoke of him. He was never really thought of that way by anyone. This made him smile a little grin.
