Chapter 4: Just Another Day
:-:
:PREVIOUSLY:
.)':'(.
The following morning Ikuto woke up to the sun in his eyes. He yawned and put his paws over his still closed eyes, hoping to lessen the light and go back to sleep. To his disappointment, he was unsuccessful. He let out an annoyed meow, and sat up, looking around him as he did so. Where was he? And why had he just meowed? Yesterday's events rushed back to him and he let out an irritated growl. Yoru was dead when he got back from his little vacation.
He looked down at the comforter that he sat on. It was a suprise to find it actually wasn't the least pink or girly, like everything in Amu's last room had been. It was a off-white with midnight blue, light blue, and black stripes on it. Hmm, he thought, jumping off a fully blue pillow and onto the blue plush carpet.
The room was mostly bare except a dresser, two book shelves fully filled, and the queen sized bed. Suddenly, a fantastic smell reached his now sensitive nose. He realized how hungry he was; all he had to eat yesterday had been that delicious meat-loaf! His spirits dropped a bit when he remembered who he was talking about. Amu had never been ever to cook, he had probably just dreamed up the meat-loaf because of his hunger. Never the less, he supposed he should go find his temporary room-mate and get some breakfast, even if it was something badly cooked or burnt.
Ikuto padded down the cream colored hallway, hoping to see a kitchen, which was most likely where Amu was, and to his surprise, the wonderful smell only increased the farther down the hall he went. Finally, he found the kitchen, and was further surprised to see Amu in an apron with a chef hat on and flour all over her face.
"Wow." Ikuto whispered, but in reality it turned out as a soft, confused little meow. Amu turned and spotted him, then smiled brightly, taking off her apron that read 'Kiss the cook.'
"Hey, Ikuto-chan." She said, tipping some bacon onto a white plate and proceeding to pour some milk into a bowl. "Do you want some bacon? I imagine your hungry- you woke up sort of late, for a cat." She added. "It's already ten."
Ikuto blinked up at her a few times in confusion, and tilted his head to the right slightly. (He looked very cute in Amu's opinion.) He never actually slept that late. Sure, he took after noon naps under the sun, but he always was awake by eight. Odd.
Amu went over to a small table and sat the bacon and milk bowl on it. She then sat another plate- her plate- on the other side of the table.
"Do you need help getting up?" She asked him after a moment, disrupting him from his thoughts. He shook his head no, and ran at the chair in front of his plate, determined to make it up. To Amu's amusement, he ended up hitting a leg of the chair and rolling backwards. He stubbornly tried again, only to get the same results. Amu giggled this time, and approached him, helping him unto the table, and taking her own seat, sipping a glass of milk and slowly eating some bacon.
Ikuto stared at his breakfast, wondering if it was safe to eat, and apparently under the suspicion that if he stared at it long enough it would give up and tell him. When this didn't happen, he had been looking at it long enough to tell that it looked safe to eat. A waft of that delicious aroma hit his sensitive nose again. It smelled safe to eat. Well, he decided, the meat-loaf may not have been a dream. And with that, he nibbled on a tiny corner. It tastedsafe to eat... in fact, it tasted fantastic. He then began eating the bacon at inhumanly speed. He was obviously funny, but the real amusing thing was that as a human Ikuto would have never admitted it tasted good, or ate this fast. But the thing was, he could do both, because he wasn't currently human.
After all but licking his plate clean, as in devouring all of his bacon, and licking up the last of his milk, Ikuto looked up to see the bemused face of Amu.
"Hungry?" She asked teasingly, smiling at him gently. Man... what a swap in positions. If human, Ikuto would have teased Amu right back and make her blush, but as it was, he was a cat, and so a small growl was heard in stead. This only made Amu's grin widen, though, as she finished off her final piece of bacon and drank the rest of the milk. Amu's cell phone rang, and Amu quickly flipped it open.
"Hello? Oh, Okay... Alright... Tell her I'll come... She did... Are you sure? Well then, I'll make a cake... No, it's the least I can do... Yes... It's just going to be family, or friends too? Okay, okay. What time, though? Alright... see you... okay... love you too... bye." Amu shut her phone and turned to Ikuto.
"That was my mom." She informed, "Ami, my little sister, is turning twelve today, and my mom is throwing her a suprise party. It's just going to be my mom, me, and Ami, but if you want you can come."
Ikuto nodded once, signifying he wanted to come. Then he remembered something, and jumped off the table, landing on his feet, and went into the living room. Amu followed him curiously. He jumped onto the sofa and then onto the small table next to it, and nudged a picture on it. It fell off, so he jumped off the table, and stood next to it. Amu sat down next to him on the floor, and looked at the picture.
"Oh, that's my mom, Ami, my... dad, and me, when I was in elementary school. Fifth grade." She informed. Ikuto put his paw onto her dad's face, and she understood. Earlier she had said it would be her mom, her, and Ami, she hadn't said anything about her dad.
"Oh... yeah, that's my dad. He and my mom divorced last year." She told him. Ikuto tilted his head, and meowed, but it didn't look as though Amu would say anymore.
"Oh, I got to make a cake. We have to be at my mom's house in an hour and a half." She said, and turned, walking into the kitchen, and setting Ikuto down onto the table. She then proceeded to get out ingredients and a mixing bowl, mixers, a pan, and preheat the oven...
Hey guys. Sorry that it took so long for me to update; when I got home from vacation some things happened and I ended up having to move. It took forever to get the stupid people to come and hook up the Internet. Review please, next chapter Ikuto will get perverted opportunities again. Review!
