The Meikyuu Butterfly

Chapter Three: Executing the Perfect Plan

Normal POV

When Lulu agreed to tell Ikuto about her plan, he couldn't stop grinning smugly; anyone could tell he was pretty ecstatic. Ikuto was so intoxicated by the thought of getting back together with Amu that he was about to lose himself in some… rather indecent fantasies about her until Lulu got irritated at him, AGAIN.

Lulu's pale hands settled on her Venus de Milo hips, and her patience ran out. "Hey, Asshole! I don't know exactly what you're thinking about, but you better wipe off that perverted smile! Do you want Amu or what? We have to start the plan right away!"

Of course, Ikuto aspired to make Amu his girl as quickly as possible, so he got a hold of himself and switched into a platitudinous facial expression.

Lulu suppressed the urge to crack up in Ikuto's face. 'Pfft, his face is as blank and expressionless as Rima's!' When he glimpsed at Lulu, she promptly coughed out her desires to burst out laughing in his unsuspecting face.

She collected her peace of mind and began her explanation of the plan. "Okay, so we need to lure Amu into confessing her undying love to you, right? I say you find an attractive girl and get her all jealous; it works every time. If you ignore Amu and direct all of your attention to that girl, she'll crawl straight back to you. The only thing is that I have no idea which poor, unfortunate maiden would be willing to get involved with this scheme of mine." Lulu held her chin and tried to comprehend which person would be the most suitable candidate.

Ikuto simply nodded his head throughout Lulu's explanation and contemplated which pitiful girl he would use to shake up Amu. Because he was a new student at Seiyo High, he barely had any options to choose from. He kept deliberating about it until an epiphany struck him and brilliantly lit up his azure eyes; his visage was as if he was an otaku at an anime convention.

"Ne, Nana-chan." Ikuto paused and released a mischievous chuckle, which alarmed Lulu. Before he could go on, she reprimanded him again.

"If we're collaborating on this, you better stop calling me by my host nickname. My real name is Yamamoto Lulu de Morcerf, and you better tell me what you're thinking about with that creepy-ass laugh of yours." She uneasily speculated his shrewd face.

"How about YOU are the girl? The only girls I know here are my sister, Amu, and you. You're the only candidate, Lulu-chan," mused Ikuto.

Once he finished his sentence, Lulu couldn't help but display abhorrence. "Like hell I'll be the girl! I don't know if you didn't notice, but I loathe guys like you!" asserted Lulu.

"Ouch, that hurt, Lulu-chan—" She cut his sentence off.

"Lulu, you bastard."

"So harsh." He pretended to mope and clutched his chest.

"Stop stalling and get on with it, Drama Queen."

Ikuto ceased his atrocious acting and continued with his proposition. "What if I gave you something or did you a favor?" Lulu was going to succinctly reject the idea again, but she controlled her temper and reflected on it more.

She sighed and began talking in an unwilling tone. "Fine, fine. I'll go easy on you with these few conditions I have. First of all, stop messing around with me. Also, once you capture Amu, you better not flirt around with other girls; be good to Amu, or I'm going to kick your ass. Got it?"

"That was cheesy, Lulu, but okay." She was going to bicker with him, but he didn't give her the chance to interrupt. "What are we specifically doing to make Amu jealous?"

"Well, we just have to throw out a bunch of PDAs in front of her, and if you're microscopic brain is wondering what that is, it's public displays of affection. How about you start by requesting me at The Meikyuu Butterfly? We'll act all lovey-dovey and hold hands, err whatever," she suggested. Lulu resisted her natural instinct to gag at the words she just let out. Ikuto held back his urge to tease her and maintained an insipid expression. "Oh, and don't tell anyone about the plan unless they're going to help us. Other than that, we're good to go."

"Hey, when does the club close? We should go tease Amu now in front of the others."

"It officially closes in two minutes. The sooner you guys start dating, the sooner I can avoid you. I'll head to The Meikyuu Butterfly, and you'll meet me there to get me in a few minutes. Act like we met in class or something."

"See you," Ikuto uttered monotonously. He gazed at Lulu as she buckled in her sling backs and strode towards the club.

'Heh, this'll be fun.'

Meanwhile At The Meikyuu Butterfly…

All of the host members gathered outside in their self-customized Seiyo High uniforms and took a deep breath.

"Joudeki dayo, minna," Nadeshiko said contentedly. (A/N: It's an informal way of saying, "Good job, everyone" in Japanese). Everyone bid farewell cheerfully, except Amu; she said goodbye with a sulky face on.

Since the closing of The Meikyuu Butterfly, Amu was thinking, 'Damn, that idiot didn't come… '

Before Nadeshiko, Yaya, and Rima could inquire her about her bitter behavior, Lulu arrived and put her plan in action. A wide grin was traced into her lips, and Amu was clueless of what she was up to.

"Hey, guys. I just wanted to meet up before we went off to class."

A husky voice unexpectedly interrupted everybody. "Yo."

Amu's mood seemed to lift. "Decided to show up, huh?"

"Hmm, what do you mean? Where's Lulu?"

Lulu rushed up to him and used the acting skills that she inherited from her mother to seem amiable; she clung to his arm and chattered with him vivaciously. "OHH, Ikuto-kun! You're here like you said you'd be! Let's go to class; see you people."

Before she could leave with Ikuto, Yaya stepped in their tracks. "Woahh, wait a minute! Yaya wants to know how the heck you got so close to the transfer student!"

"Yeah; I thought you said you didn't know who he was," stated Rima.

"Lulu crashed into me in the hallway. She said she would make it up to me by taking me around the school." Lulu dragged him away and jubilantly waved goodbye to everyone. Murmured rumors poisoned the air as they sauntered away. Amu and everybody else were too baffled to do anything; they were all wondering what the hell just happened.

Ikuto and Lulu stole a look back in unison and smirked at the stunned, speechless Amu; she looked as if she was going to faint and fall on the floor.

Several Yards Later…

"We're good, Lulu." She nodded in agreement and leered behind her to make sure no one was nearby. Once Lulu knew the coast was clear, she tore her arm away from Ikuto's.

"Wow, it was pretty easy to make Amu uncomfortable. We just have to keep this up, and she'll confess in no time." With that being said, Lulu departed.

After School (Ikuto POV)

I slung my obsidian Timbuk2 messenger bag onto my broad shoulder and strode to the school exit. I noticed that Utau was fretfully tapping her foot with an infuriated face, plus her signature crossed arms.

Three… Two… One… Here we go.

"You're too freaking slow, Ikuto. Do you know how freaking long I had to wait for your ass?"

Man, she needs to find a tolerant boyfriend; that way I don't need to endure this horrendous nagging every minute of the day.

I abruptly changed the topic. "How was your chase with those fan boys?"

"Let's just say I took care of them… Anyways, I demand to know why you were with that blonde girl at that pink-haired jerk's host club."

"Her name's Lulu, and we're not really dating. We just want to mess with everyone; it seemed fun, so why not?"

Utau sighed in disappointment. "Sounds just like you to do this kind of stupid shit at school, Ikuto." She finally backed off, and we headed home. I smirked triumphantly.

'I wonder what Lulu-chan and I are doing tomorrow to mess with my Amu-chan,'
