The next day all four of them did their own thing until the evening. Ikuto texted Amu to tell her he was going to pick her up at 5:00 that evening so they could grab some dinner beforehand. So at 5:00 he pulled up outside her house. She got in and they took off.
Ikuto asked her, "So, where would you like to eat?"
She smiled and replied, "There is a little burger place close to the hotel." "Let's eat there."
Ikuto nods and heads that way. It does not take them long so they park, go inside, place their order, and then wait for their number to be called.
Amu looking at Ikuto asks, "By the way how did you get my number?"
He smirks, "Sorry about that, but I asked Utau for it earlier so I could see about picking you up earlier."
She nods and replies, "No, it's fine." "If I had thought about it, I should have given it to you last night."
It was right after she said that that their number was called and Ikuto got up to get the food. As they ate they talked about various things. What they liked and disliked, and so on to get to know each other more. They found out that they had a few things in common. After they finished their food they talked for just a bit more. Then about 15 minutes before they needed to be there they headed to the hotel.
Once they arrived and got in the lobby they still had 5 minutes to spare. They did not see Kukai and Utau so they patiently waited.
Ten minutes later both of them showed up. Kukai waved and said, "Sorry guys, I took Utau to eat and then we got stuck in a little bit of traffic."
Amu shook her head and with a smile replied, "It's fine tonight is about you two."
Kukai holding Utau's hand walked up to the desk to get the keys. Once he did they all moved over to the side, he turned to Ikuto and said, "Here is yours."
Ikuto and Amu looked at them questioningly.
Utau without missing a beat replied, "Since Amu is also helping us we decided to get you two a room also." "I don't want you guys in the hallway, that would be rude." She smirked, "Besides, the rooms were a bargain and if you need the room you have it."
Amu blushed 3 shades of red at that just as Ikuto blushed a little.
Kukai laughed and said, "She means if your too tired afterwords to go home."
Utau said quietly, "We know using your gift makes you really tired."
Amu nods and replies, "Oh, ok."
Then Utau and Kukai turned around sharing a smile. They headed to the elevators and headed up to their rooms.
Once their Utau turned to Amu and said, "Ok, here is my ring," handing her ring to Amu.
Amu slips the ring on her finger. Then she looked at Kukai.
Kukai hands her a silver chain bracelet that Utau had bought him.
She put it on but some of it dangled into her hand.
Then Kukai and Utau went into their room as Ikuto and Amu headed into the room next to it.
Once they are in Amu sits on the bed as Ikuto sits in a chair facing her.
Ikuto smiles as he sits down.
Amu looks at him questioningly and asks, "What?"
He replies, "This chair is comfy."
Amu laughs.
Ikuto then says, "Ok, seriously now that we are alone, tell me about your gift."
Amu nods and says, "Well my gift heightens love making." "Basically, the feelings and emotions throughout are more intense." "That's the only way I can describe it."
He asks, "So, why do you need their jewelry?"
Amu smiled and replied, "That's one of the things with my ability, I have to have something of theirs in my possession for it to work."
Ikuto nods. He tells her, "Your gift is a little different than mine."
She nods but replies with a smile, "They are starting."
Ikuto asks, "You can tell when they start?"
She nods. "I have what feels like a current wash through me that lets me know." "That same current passes through me at the end to know that they are done."
Ikuto says, "That must be strange."
Amu shakes her head, "Not really, it was when I first started doing this, but I got use to it." She looks at him and asks, "What does yours do?"
He replies, "I can make someones fantasy appear real."
She asks, "Really?"
He nods.
She asks, "How do you get it to work?"
He smirks and replies, "Well I get to know about them and find out a little about their fantasies." "Then I tell them a fantasy and it actually puts their body through it without them actually having to be with the other."
Amu looks shocked. She exclaims, "You are in the room with them?"
He nods at her.
Worriedly she asks, "How can you stand it?" "I mean the sounds people make when they make love, just hearing it would embarrass me."
He smirks and replies, "For others it can be exciting to hear." "It's almost like those who watch porn."
Amu blushes deep red.
Ikuto laughs. He says, "Oh, Amu don't look so shocked I have ear plugs that block out sound so I don't hear anything." "And before you ask about me seeing things, that does not happen either." "I am hidden from all of that."
Amu nods in relief. She could not even imagine being in the room when that was happening.
She asked, "Does yours work on everyone?"
He nods his head yes at her. Then he asked her, "Doesn't yours?"
She shook her head no.
He looks at her questioningly.
She smiles and replies, "I don't know why but mine only works on couples that are meant to be together." "I can't really explain it either." "I just had one of my friends who knew about my gift wanted me to use it on her one day." "When I tried to help her it did not work."
Ikuto said, "Oh, that must have sucked."
She nodded. "I was surprised." "However, when it happened a few more times after that, and then remembering the ones I did help, I was able to put it together." "All the people my gift worked on were still together."
Ikuto asked, "How did you let people know without worrying them that their relationship won't last?"
She replied, "I didn't tell them." "I just had the couple lend me something that was in their possession most of the time to see if I could help them or not."
He looked confused but asked, "How did that work?"
She smiled and replied, "Well, when I held the items one in each hand they would kind of hum and vibrate." "That is how I would know."
Ikuto nods and says, "Ah."
She said, "If the items did not hum, then my close friends would tell them that I could not help."
He continues looking at her and asks, "They never questioned you about it?"
She says, "Some did but it was after they broke up the one they were with." "Then they knew why."
He asks her, "Your friends knew about your gift?"
She replied, "Not all my friends." "Only my really close friends knew about it."
He nods and says, "It's good you had someone helping you out."
She nods and said, "It was nice having someone to talk to about it." "It would have been better to talk to someone who had a similar gift who knew exactly what I was going through."
He nods again at her and replies, "Same here." "It did in a sense make it a little lonely." "When did your gift first make it's appearance?"
She laughed and replied, "When I was 15 with my best friend." "She was showing me a charm that her boyfriend had bought her to go on her bracelet." The minute I was holding both was when the humming and vibrations started." "It was so intense that I kind of fell in the floor and just laid there in amazement." "Trying to figure out what just happened." She asked him, "What about you?"
He smiled, "Mine is kind of funny." "I was 14 and to make the story short, I had my best friend who would always tell me about some of his fantasies." "So one day just joking with him, I just told him a fantasy." "Well since I was unaware of my gift at the time, I guess it had a delayed reaction or however you want to look at it." "But he told me later that the fantasy I told him sort of took place so to speak." "I was shocked but then I remembered how drained I had felt the night before at the same exact time he was having it." "It wasn't too long after that time that I realized what I could do and that brings us to now."
She nods.
He looks at her and asks, "What I want to know now is what is going on with us?"
She just looks at him waiting for him to continue.
He says, "Obviously we are attracted to each other." "However, I have never experienced anything like what we did not once, but twice yesterday."
She nodded and replied, "I have never experienced anything like it either."
Ikuto stands up and then sits down beside her on the bed just looking at her as she looks at her lap.
He tenderly places his finger under her chin and lifts her head to look at him. As soon as their eyes meet they once again see each other through the others eyes. Then ever so slowly they started drifting towards each other until their lips meet. As soon as their lips touched they could see themselves kissing each other once again. It was amazing, and then...
OH NO! I know I am mean I am leaving you on a cliffie. Don't hate me too much. Then lemon will come in the next chapter. Just a reminder though that the next chapter will be the last one for this story then I will be doing a couple of one shots for Vampire Knight before I try my hand at some Sasuke Naruto yaoi. I hope they turn out ok and for those of you who are not into yaoi sorry. I have become a little bit of a fan of them two and have a few ideas I want to try. Never fear though I still have plenty of straight couples story in the works. I have several main plots written down for Naruto and some Final Fantasy even. So be on the lookout. Hope you enjoyed.
