Thanks for the reviews everyone! I will post everyone's name every two chapters! Lol

Ch.4 He's a thief

"You and Ikuto are what?" Rima and Yaya shout as I explain everything to them while we sit at our table during lunch on Monday.

"Our parents are getting married, which means Ikuto and I are about to become step-siblings. Oh joy," I grumble, resting my chin in my hands, elbows sitting on top the table.

"You're kidding right?" Rima questions, still in shock, rubbing her temples.

"I wish," I groan, I was seriously about to have a meltdown. I still couldn't believe this weekend happened the way it did. I can't believe my father and Ikuto's mother have been seeing each other and are getting married in a few months! This was all just madness!

"Ok, explain everything that happened that night," Yaya says, almost demanding, "this way Rima-chan and I can get a better understanding of all this. I mean this is bizarre."

"Ok, Ikuto shows up right when his mother was repeating her name, she was repeating her name because I couldn't believe my ears and…." I start the story of our 'family' dinner.

Flashback

My eyes are glued to Ikuto as he takes the seat available next to his mother. I felt like I was floating out of my body and watching the scene from a different point of view. My heart was pounding at a very slow pace, but it thudded hard against my chest. My throat was dry and my eyes starting burning, and that's when my headache started.

I rub my forehead and groan. "Why me?"

My dad looks at me concerned. "Are you alright Amu-chan?" he questions, and as he does all eyes are on me, including a pair of dark, sapphire ones.

I feel my cheeks go hot, and I feel embarrassed. I did not want to make this night awkward for my dad nor did I want to ruin this evening with his soon to be fiancée. "U-um, I just have a headache," I answer, which was sort of true.

"Do you need to go home?" my dad questions, I could tell he was very worried and I knew if I said yes to that question, he would most likely be disappointed.

"If you need a ride, Amu-chan, Ikuto would gladly drive you home," Souko states with a sweet smile. How was she his mother?

Ikuto smirks. "I'd be more than happy to."

"No, no, I'm fine," I say, wanting to shoot Ikuto a glare, but instead I put on a smile. "If it gets worse however, I will let you know."

My dad smiles at me. "Alright, then, let's get some food!"

And with those we all ordered. I was in shock, my brain wasn't functioning right, and I was no longer hungry. I'm letting this guy get under my skin, and I have to find a way to end that before things get out of hand and this guy gets whatever it is that he wants.

"Amu-chan, did you know Ikuto-kun goes to the same school as you?" my father questions looking over at me. "He can scare off all the boys for me!"

"I didn't know that dad," I lie, not wanting them to know Ikuto and I know each other, because they would most likely ask questions like 'when did you to meet', 'how do you know each other', 'or are you friends' and I did not want to answer those questions and reveal the truth about this playboy. Ikuto scaring off boys? Ha. More like I need someone to scare off Ikuto.

"Such a big school for you two to have never met," Souko-san states, "My father is the principal so if you need anything that deals with school he would love to help out."

I start to think about the size of our school, and it big, and it makes me wonder if Ikuto discovered me the day I accidently handed him the letter or if he hunted me out and waited for an opportunity. I nod at Souko-san. "Thanks, but I don't think I will need any help."

My father makes a sound that sounds like a squeal and he beams, "Amu-chan's so independent! So cool!"

I roll my eyes at take a sip of my water that was in front of me. Why does he always do that?

Souko-san applauds and I sweat-drop. Please don't tell me she is like my father because that would just be creepy.

"So tonight was the night we decided to have our families come together," my father starts; he and Souko-san grab each other's hands and look at me, Ami, and Ikuto. "Souko and I apologize for not telling you sooner about our relationship, but I think this meeting is going very well."

Souko takes over, "We think that is a good sign. Tsumugu and I actually plan on getting married in a couple of months."

"Yay! Wedding!" Ami squeals, clapping her hands.

My eyes widened. So soon? Wow, this is a surprise. "In a couple months? Are you two sure that you want to so soon?" I question, trying to sound like an adult making sure they were not making a mistake.

"Do you know of a reason we shouldn't marry so soon, Amu-chan?" Dad questions, a frown starting to form on his face.

'Yeah. Ikuto. That boy sitting right next to that pretty blonde that you want to marry,' is what I thought and what I wanted to say. "No, I just don't want you two to rush things." I cross my arms over my chest.

"You don't object then?" Souko-san asks, her eyes were looking at me, begging for approval.

I feel like she is asking me 'do you want me to be unhappy and lonely?' Great. There is no way I want my father unhappy, and she was too sweet for me to turn her down. I don't have a problem with her, it's her son that is the problem with this whole marriage thing! "I-I don't object," I grumble.

"Yay!" Souko-san and dad jump up in the air and hug each other. I sweat drop at the scene they were causing, everyone in the restaurant had their eyes on our table. They eventually sit back down and we receive our dinner.

"Oh also, we forgot to mention that we are looking for a house," Dad claims, causing me to spit out my food.

"W-what?" I say, almost shouting.

"Well we have to move out of our apartment, Amu-chan, it won't suit the five of us, and Souko was living with her father for the time being, we plan on getting our own place, a new home for a new beginning," he explains with a grin on his face. "I know you probably don't want to move out of our home, but it will be easier and…"

"Dad, don't worry about me," I say sighing. "It's fine. I understand." I was just in disbelief that that blue-haired creep and I will be living under the same roof. Fantastic.

I look over at Ikuto, he was looking at me, smirk on his face. His smirk was evil, it was sick and twisted and I started to panic when I started to think of the things he could do to me if we lived in the same house.

End of flashback

"Wait whoa, your two families will be moving in together?" Rima asks her jaw dropping.

I nod. "Yeah they started looking today. They want to move in before the wedding, they want all of us to get to know one another better and become like a family," I state, my words sounded like I was completely disappointed, which I was but not because my father was marrying this wonderful woman. "So as soon as they find a place, Tsukiyomi Ikuto and I will be roomies."

"Poor Amu-chii," Yaya sighs, rubbing my back. "But don't worry, Rima-chan, Yaya, and Kukai-kun will help keep you safe!"

I smacked my head realizing that I would have to tell my boyfriend that the boy that has been bullying me, harassing me, and pretty much stalking me is about to become part of my family and that we were about to be moving in together. I could just imagine what kind of reaction I will get from him. He probably won't be happy because he knows Ikuto isn't anywhere close to being the nicest person and Kukai wants to protect me from anything or anyone that could harm me.

"Guess you and Ikuto will be getting close now? I bet you two will even become best friends," Rima jokes, rolling her eyes.

I feel an evil aurora behind me and I look, I don't see anyone, but I feel like someone is looking at me giving me the worst glare ever. Must be my imagination because no one is looking at me, but no matter hard I try to stop thinking about it, I still have that feeling someone is watching me.

"Alright, should we go see if we can catch a peak at the soccer team?" Rima suggests knowing what would put me in a better move.

I smile and answer, "of course." We get up out of our seats and start walking. I pause for a second realizing my backpack was still at the table. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." They walk through the double doors taking them outside and I rush back to the table and get my bag, and finally I start to walk towards the double doors.

As I approach them my stomach starts hurting, I know someone in this room or around this area is giving me an ugly look, there was just no other reason for it. I push the double doors open and I walk into a surprise.

Splash!

I am drenched by about three gallons of water that just hit me out of nowhere. I look up and see three girls on the balcony over the entrance of the double doors and see them holding an empty bucket. They were all glaring at me which right away I understood they dumped this water on me.

"What the hell?" I shout glaring right back at them. "What do you think you are doing?" My hair was down by the force of the water, sticking to my face and my clothes felt like they were glued to me.

I see one girl with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes step in front of them, which meant she had to be in charge of this stupid prank. She glares at me. "Who do you think you are?" she's shouting back at me as if I was in the wrong.

"Amu-chan! Amu-chii!" I hear Rima and Yaya's voice which meant they would soon be right at my side.

"What do you mean who do I think I am? You're the one who poured water on me! You should be explaining who you are!" I hiss, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Stay away from Ikuto, or else! He's not interested in little girls like you," she warns before her and her friends turn around and start to walk off.

"This is about Ikuto! I don't even care about Ikuto! I don't even like him! You've got the wrong idea! If anyone needs to be leaving someone alone, he needs to leave me alone! Got that!" I feel a vein pop out on top of my head as I become angry.

"Amu, are you alright?" Rima asks as she reaches me. "What did they do to you? What was their problem?"

"Ikuto," I hiss, and with that I storm off. I had a good idea I could find out where that bastard was at. It was his fault that those girls just ruined my clothes and that I would now have to find a spare outfit or I wouldn't be able to go back to class. He was about to pay.

"Amu-chii wait up!" I hear Yaya shout and I know her and Rima are following behind me.

I turn the corner and heads towards the part of the school kids smoked at, it was labeled for the 'cool' kids so they would have a place to smoke, slack off, make out, and whatever, and sure enough I see Ikuto laying on top of a picnic table all of his buddies either standing up smoking or sitting down, chilling in the grass. I see all, but Ikuto's, of their eyes look in my direction. All mouths dropped.

Ikuto was oblivious that I was coming and I could see why, he had his iPod headphones in his ears. I stand hovering over him and grab onto my hair. I smirk and ring out the water that was still in my pink locks on top of the playboy.

His eyes jolt open and he sits up cursing, "What the hell do you think you are doing?" and with that he grabs the back of my neck and brings my face two inches from his and he glares at me.

"Some stupid female did this to me and it's your fault!" I hiss glaring back at me. "If you would leave me alone your pathetic fan-girls wouldn't think I have interest in you! This is all dumb and you need to fix it!"

A smirk forms on his face.

"Amu-chan, are you okay?" I hear Nagihiko ask, concern in his voice.

"Yeah, are you okay, sis," Ikuto teases as he starts to chuckle.

My eyes widen and I growl. "This isn't funny! I'm getting harassed thanks to your ass!" I state hatefully.

"And you want me to fix that?" he questions, humor in his voice.

"Yes!" I say almost screaming this time.

"What will do you for me if I fix it?" he asks, letting go so I can back up away from him.

"What?" I ask this time.

"I'm not going to help you for free," he states his smirk widening.

I growl. "I shouldn't have to pay you to the fix the mess that you caused, that's just stupid, and I'm not doing it," I claim, glaring harder at him.

"Ah, come on," he says trying to pout. "Look at what happened to you thanks to some of my 'fan-girls', or whatever you want to call them, you don't want something like this to happen again do you?"

"Forget it," I hiss turning around. "I don't need your help anyways."

"Who did this to you, Amu-chan?" Nagihiko asks appearing in front of me.

I shrug. "A blonde I have never seen before and her two friends," I answer and with that I leave and I swear I heard Ikuto's voice say 'I'll take care of it' or something like that as I walk away.

00000000000000000000

I start to walk back towards the school after leaving Ikuto and his group and I start to wonder where Rima and Yaya went but I see them running towards me, a brown-haired boy behind them.

Oh no, they got Kukai. I rub my left arm and stop walking. How embarrassing.

Kukai rushes past them and wraps a jacket around me while pulling me into a hug at the same time. "Are you okay?" he asks in a whisper.

I nod against his shoulder and take in his scent. He smells like Hollister, one of my favorite scents. "Thank you," I mumble against his clothes.

He pulls me back so that he was looking me in the eyes. "You don't have to thank me. I said I was going to protect you," he eyes lowered as he continues. "I'm not doing that great of a job though."

"You're not always going to be with me, I have to be able to defend myself too," I state smiling at him. "I'm just glad you're here now." I blush and he chuckles.

And once again we are interrupted by a cough.

"Once again, clearing my throat," Rima lies; she looks at me serious after speaking and says. "I'll find out who that girl was, and I'll make her pay."

As we stood there I felt like we were being watched, which was very possible we are in the courtyard after all, but I got the feeling from before when I walked through the double doors. I decide to ignore it; I don't care at this point.

0000000000000000000000000

Rima takes me home because I was accused from school for 5th period so I could get dry clothes and so I could dry my hair. The last thing I needed was to get sick again. It only took us forty minutes and then we were back in school. We arrived right when passing period was taking place.

And no one could expect what would happen next.

We enter the front door of the school and see all whole bunch of students stopped in the hallway, every single one of them holding a piece of paper in their hands.

Rima and I look at each other confused on what was going on, everyone should be walking around and getting into lockers, not just stopped in the hallway.

"That's Hinamori Amu," I hear someone say.

I look up but no one is looking at me, they were looking at that dang piece of paper still.

"I had no idea she was like this. I thought she was so cool, poor Kukai-kun."

"There's no way. She's too good for Ikuto-kun. This has to be false."

"But look at the pictures, how are can they be fake?"

I'm frozen, what was going on? Everyone is talking about me and it has to do with those papers everyone had.

Rima snatches a piece of paper from a student that was passing by earning a 'Hey!' from the boy.

Rima looks at it and so do I. Both of us gasp and our eyes widen and what we are seeing. It read 'Hinamori Amu is a little slut,' and above the writing was a picture of Ikuto and me earlier when I was soaked, when he had pulled me close to his face. There was also a picture below the writing and it was of me and Kukai when he was holding me today. And underneath that picture were bold letters that said 'BUSTED'.

I feel my cheeks go hot. Who would do such a thing?

I look up from the poster and see a bunch of people looking at me. I'm angry and Rima and I both at the same time start snatching the posters out of people's hands.

"Why would you read such bullshit?" I ask them, with my spicy attitude. "Don't always believe words coming out of someone's mouth who is jealous. This isn't anywhere close to the truth. What idiots."

We continue to gather papers and I see a flash of brown and look over, Kukai was also grabbing papers from people, not saying a word.

Then it hits me. He must be so embarrassed. I'm supposed to be his girlfriend and some horrible person took two pictures of me that gave off the wrong of impression. Kukai was popular because he was the soccer captain and a bunch of people looked up to him; this could ruin his whole image.

I feel sadness overcome me and I don't know what to say. I stand there and watch Kukai and Rima collect posters and tear some that were on the walls and lockers.

"Hey, Hinamori, got room for one more?" I hear a boy ask as he starts laughing and so do some of his buddies around him.

That's when I see a quick flash of blue. The boy who made that remark was pinned up against a locker, lifted out of the air. And the person who was pinning him was no other than Ikuto.

My eyes widen and Ikuto speaks. "You better watch what you say, you got that?" He pulls the guy back and then slams him back into the locker. His warning gave me goosebumps.

He looks at me and I can't tell what emotion is trying to be expressed through his eyes, but I am starting to think he is sorry for today, not like he'd say it to me but who knows.

"Amu, are you okay?" Kukai asks as he approaches me. He was able to stop gathering because Ikuto's friends started to help out as well, and some also Yaya, she came out of nowhere as well.

Rima started walking towards us, Nagihiko behind her; both of them had a huge pile of posters.

"I'm so sorry," I say as I feel ashamed. "You must be embarrassed."

"That's not why I took those papers away from people," he states, looking into my eyes. "I'm not embarrassed. I don't want people getting wrong idea of you; I don't want them to treat you badly. You're not that type of person that someone is trying to make you out to be. I know you're hurt because of what was said on those posters, you shouldn't let them effect you, you know it isn't true."

I wrap my arms around him, not caring people were watching. "Thank you, Kukai-kun." His arms wrap around me.

I look over his shoulder and see Ikuto lowering the boy he had warned. He looks at me and then turns around and walks off, all his friends, but one, following behind.

"Amu-chan, is there anything I can do?" I hear Nagihiko ask, I can hear the concern in his voice.

"Find out who did this," Rima growls. "This is all because of your friend harassing her."

Nagihiko's eyes lowered. "Ikuto isn't like that. Give him a chance, please?"

"Will you find out who did this?" Rima asks, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I promise to do my best," he exclaims placing a hand over his heart.

"Then we'll consider giving him a chance," Rima says in a harsh tone, not really wanting to say those words.

"I'll give him a chance," I promise, and my words were true. "We are about to be 'family' after all."

Kukai looks down at me with a confused look on his face and I give him a small smile. "My father and his mother are getting married, can you believe that? Just found out Saturday, sorry I didn't tell you till now."

He ruffles my hair. "Stop apologizing," he says grinning.

0000000000000

I'm exiting the school with Rima and Yaya heading to soccer practice once again and when we get to the door that girl from before stands there, arms crossed around her chest, glaring at me. We stop and I glare back at her; it feels like it is just us to in that whole school. I don't even know who she is but I seriously dislike her.

"Like my posters?" she asks, a small smirk forming on her lips.

My eyes twitch. It was her that made those? So what is she spying on me? "Yeah, I found them hilarious," I spit out my words. Rima and Yaya remain quiet; they know this is behind me and this blonde.

She chuckles and it is the most irritating sound I have ever heard, like nails scratching a chalk board. "Now the whole school knows what you really are."

I don't even bother talking about that subject; I just get to the point. "Who are you?"

She looks at me and her eyes are like ice when she speaks. "I'm Lulu de Morcerf Yamamoto," and I finally know her name.

"Are you obsessed with Ikuto or something? Is that why you are trying to ruin me?" I question, knowing very well she has a thing for Ikuto.

Her eyes hardened. "You don't know anything about Ikuto-kun. A small pathetic person like you shouldn't ever stand next to him or even get to say a word to him."

"Yeah because Ikuto is such a king," I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.

"He's a prince, a true prize, what would you know," she hisses before she leans against the door causing it to open. "You'll never be with a prince like him. Ikuto thinks of you as some kind of new toy, he'll get sick of you soon."

"I hope so," I say sighing, knowing I am pushing her buttons. "I can't wait till he is off my back. He's been annoying me."

She glares at me. "How dare you say such a thing? A plain girl like yourself, you have no idea," she growls, and with that she turns around and leaves.

"Crazy bitch," Rima hisses.

"You can say that again," Yaya agrees and with that we start laughing.

There's no point of letting a girl like that bring us down. She can do whatever she wants to me, but no matter what she does I will always have my friends by my side and my boyfriend. She can't make the people that care about me look at me differently, no matter how hard she tried or how determined she was.

0000000000000000000000000

We're at our usual spot at the bleachers. Yaya had to eventually leave because she had to go pick up her baby brother again and Rima seemed distracted because Nagihiko was talking to her. I pretty much was sitting by myself watching Kukai and Ikuto run around the field, kicking the soccer ball back and forth. Ran was leaning over the railing shouting at Daichi, apparently they were dating.

I decide it is my time to get drink for all the boys that were on the field. I stand up and walk over the railing. "Gatorade okay?" I ask, shouting out to the whole field.

I hear a bunch of 'yes's and I decide to head to the cafeteria to get about 16 boys. I like helping out Kukai's team when I can, makes me feel like I have a purpose of coming to practice other than just watching my boyfriend.

Once I get to the cafeteria I pick out two different flavors and get eight of each. I start to put them in my bag realizing it might have been easier if I would have asked Rima to come.

"Need some help?"

I turn around and see Ikuto there extending his hands. I nod and he takes the bag I have in my hands and placing them neatly in the bag; he leaves me to carry three. We walk out of the cafeteria together and there was absolute silence, which was awkward. The silence only lasted about three minutes of the walk.

"Amu."

I look at him curiously and he continues.

"I'm sorry about today," he pretty much grumbles.

I stop walking as he says those words and I have no idea how to respond.

"That female, Lulu, she's one of my old friends, she tends to get very jealous, and I'm sorry. I'm having a talk with her about it," he says staring at me in the eyes wanting me to believe he was truly sorry and was serious.

I nod and then my brain thinks of a question I feel like asking. "Why are you always picking on me anyways? If you didn't do it she wouldn't get jealous."

He smirks. "Are you really asking that question?"

"Yeah, I'm really asking that question," I roll my eyes. Did he think I was trying to be funny? I was dead serious.

"What kind of answer are you wanting, eh, Amu?" he teases, his smirk widening.

"I want the truth," I growl getting annoyed.

"And what is the truth, Amu," he slowly emphasizes my name.

My eyes start to twitch as he continues to toy with me. "Ikuto," I hiss, really annoyed.

"Amu," he responds.

"Stop playing this game and get serious! Why are you always bothering me, teasing me, bullying me, and all that stuff? Why are you always doing this stuff to me? I haven't ever done anything to you and in fact I never knew you until that day I handed you that damn letter! Now answer my question and tell me why because I deserve to know!" I finally explode, dropping the Gatorade and stomping my foot onto the ground. I glare at him and wait for him to respond.

He quickly grabs hold of one of my arms and pulls me to him, his free hand drops the bag he was holding and grabs my chin. The next thing I know he is crushing his lips down on my mine in a soul devouring kiss.

My eyes widen and for some reason I am unable to move and push him off. My whole body is lit on fire and my heart starts pounding and I have no idea what is going on with my body, but I feel like I'm melting.

Then it hits me; Tsukiyomi Ikuto just stole my first kiss.
