An Unseen Love
Chapter 4
"Boyfriend?" Ikuto questioned. Shiro nodded. Ikuto then broke out into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Shiro asked. "You and your cute imagination," Ikuto stated. "My imagination? What do you mean?" Shiro asked.
"Yeah, your imagination, it runs wild with fantasies thinking that pinkie is your girlfriend," Ikuto stated. "How dare you talk about me," Shiro stated.
Ikuto continued to laugh. Shiro began to shake with anger. In between his laughter Ikuto asked, "How could she have a little kid as a boyfriend?"
"I'm not a kid," Shiro stated. "Yeah sure you're not a kid," Ikuto stated. "I'm not a kid and Amu is my girlfriend," Shiro stated.
"First off how old are you?" Ikuto asked sarcastically. "I'm four and a half," Shiro replied. "Wow, four and a half, impressive, NOT!" Ikuto stated.
"Being four and a half is impressive," Shiro retorted. "Yeah, ok, but you're not old enough to be pinkie's boyfriend," Ikuto stated while pointing to Amu.
"Age doesn't matter, Amu loves me," Shiro stated. Ikuto snorted. "Who told you that lie?" Ikuto questioned.
"It's not a lie, Amu tells me that she loves me and I love her," Shiro stated. "So, you, a four and a half year-old is dating a girl who's way older than you?" Ikuto questioned.
Shiro nodded. "Well, that's impossible because you're too young to know what a girlfriend and love is," Ikuto stated.
Shiro began to blush from embarrassment. Small tears began to swell in his eyes. He then ran out of the kitchen.
Ikuto then began to laugh again. Shuu and Amu were still quiet until Amu just had enough.
"That's it, I've had enough of you talking about Shiro," Amu stated. "Why? Mr. Four and a half seemed tough enough to handle the truth," Ikuto stated.
"The truth? He told you the truth, you tell him that he doesn't know what love is, but to be truthful you probably don't know what it is," Amu stated.
"I know more than that little kid claiming to be your boyfriend!" Ikuto exclaimed.
"No, you don't because if you knew about love you would know that you hurt him by saying that!" Amu exclaimed. "How did I hurt him, he's just a little kid with a crush, he has to get over it sometime," Ikuto stated.
"That doesn't give you the right to do that though, he's just four," Amu stated. "And a half," Ikuto added. "You, you , your so ughhh!!!" Amu exclaimed.
"Why thank you," Ikuto stated. Amu's face started to redden with anger. "Shuu, I'm going to find Shiro, watch over yummy the dummy for me while I'm gone," Amu stated.
Shuu just nodded his head. "I know your not calling me yummy the dummy pinkie," Ikuto stated.
"My name's not pinkie it's Amu, just three letters that's not hard to forget," Amu stated. "And my name's not yummy the dummy it's Ikuto," Ikuto retorted.
"Whatever, I have to find Shiro," Amu stated before heading out the kitchen. Ikuto started to mumble curses under his breath.
A voice then broke his thoughts. "You know she's right, right?" Shuu asked. "What do you mean she's right?" Ikuto questioned.
"Well, you didn't have to be harsh to the kid," Shuu replied. "I wasn't being harsh though I was just breaking it to him before his heart is broken because of a little crush," Ikuto stated.
Shuu just shook his head. "You could've handled that a different way," Shuu stated. "I still don't understand, I was just helping," Ikuto stated.
"It's not like pinkie, I mean Amu really loves that kid like a guy her age," Ikuto stated. "That's where I have disagree with you, even though my baby sister has never been in love she does love people with all of her heart," Shuu pointed out.
"So, she's never been in love, but she can love people with all of her heart?" Ikuto questioned. Shuu nodded. "Your sister is so confusing, how can she love people, but not be in love?" Ikuto asked.
"She hasn't found her most important person, so she gives her love to everyone she knows," Shuu replied.
"Most important person?" Ikuto asked. "Yes, the person you cherish the most and love the most in the whole world," Shuu replied.
"Do you have a most important person Mr. Know it all?" Ikuto asked cockily. "Well, yeah my wife, Eriko," Shuu replied.
'This guy has a wife?' Ikuto thought. Ikuto looked at Shuu with pure shock written on his face. "What is it really unbelievable for me to have a wife?" Shuu questioned.
Ikuto nodded. "First my family and now the dufus huh?" Shuu asked. "Well, I guess you really won't believe that I have a daughter," Shuu stated.
"I just can't believe a guy your age would actually settle down and have a kid," Ikuto stated. "What do you mean?" Shuu asked. "Well, don't you miss just being able to date any girl and not being tied down by a kid?" Ikuto questioned.
"You know I used to think that way, but after I found Eriko I felt no need to date other women," Shuu stated.
"You're crazy, I would never give up my freedom for some chick," Ikuto stated. "Just keep saying that and before you know it some chick will be your most important person unless your just on the flip side and you want a male to be your most important person," Shuu stated.
Ikuto started to growl with anger. "And if I don't find this 'important person'?" Ikuto questioned. "Don't worry you will," Shuu replied.
Ikuto began to mumble again. "Oh and just make sure that my sister isn't that person ok?" Shuu stated. "You should probably be telling her that because in no time she will fall madly in love with me like the rest," Ikuto stated.
"First my sister is not like that so you need to stop thinking like that and second don't group her with those other girls," Shuu stated.
"All girls are the same, right?" Ikuto questioned. "Not the girls in this family," Shuu mumbled. Ikuto looked at him questionably about what he said.
