A/N:
Lol. Thanks for the reviews :D
Enjoy~
[Note: Yes, we was really inspired by two mangas; so we wouldn't really take the credit of having this idea.]
[Another Note: Some of the = & +'s (symbols to know which POV is which) aren't appearing, so we're extremely sorry for that.]
Chapter Three
The Best Way to Keep a Secret is: Keeping Your Mouth Shut
=
And there was silence.
I had no idea whatsoever on what happened a while ago.
"Uhm." I muttered. She flinched.
More silence.
And it's killing me.
"Look. I think I need an explanation.." I paused, "On what happened a while ago." I mumbled, trying to look at her. She only flinched again.
"Oh sure. Now you're scared of me." I grumbled, sighing. "What…" I was about to say.
"Do you know what Narcissism means?" She asked, still facing down.
And that's when the silence faded; and it was replaced by the narration of her past memories.
"Mother and father were always busy. And I was always home alone. I couldn't even go out, since I had a weak body when I was young." She said. "All I wanted was somebody to play with.." She muttered.
"And that's when I found it. The person who I could play with.." She continued.
"Who?"
"Myself." She said. "It was the first time that I saw my reflection on the mirror."
"So, you never.. looked at a mirror when you were young?"
"No. Not at all."
"Oh." Was all I could say. "Then you started to admire yourself.." I whispered. She nodded.
And more silence came.
A wave of silence came.
The most annoying part was : I could hear imaginary clocks ticking.
Tick, Tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
"Uh." I mumbled.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
"I guess I should go." I muttered. "Forget the fact that I even said that I'll try to change your life. I just guess I'm butting in too much." I said, smiling and standing up. I slowly headed for the door, not expecting a reply from him.
I think.. it's, no big deal." He blurted out, scratching his head lightly.
"Say what?"
"I think it's no big deal. I mean, you were lonely at that time, and you needed a playmate too."
"So you mean you actually understand me?" I said, raising one eyebrow up. He nodded and shrugged.
And the imaginary clock was gone.
"That's.. a first." I smiled. "You know, you're the only one who knows this." I said as something came rushing up my cheeks.
"Oh." He said, his cheeks turning pink too.
And there was silence again.
"Can I ask a question then?" I asked.
"You're already asking one." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes. "Shoot."
"How did you become.. the SP?"
And the day went onwards, the both of us exchanging random questions.
"Eh? It's already this late?" I gasped, finally noticing that the sky was turning darker.
"Oh. Haven't noticed." He said.
"Same here." I sighed.
"You missed a class today. You should've not come here." He muttered. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh come on. Do you really have to act like this? Even if we shared a lot of memories today? Don't act as if you don't know me, Ikuto." I stuck my tongue out. "Besides. It was fun."
"Don't act as if you don't know me, Ikuto." She said while sticking her tongue out.
The way she said my name… No, was she the first one who said my first name? Why do I feel something uneasy in my chest?
"Besides, it was fun." She shrugged.
The memories we shared together.. she found it fun?
"Earth to Ikuto~~" She teased.
"Who said you can call me by my first name?" I raised an eyebrow up.
"Is it bad?" She teased. "You can call me Amu." She grinned. But for some reason, I couldn't help but to smile back…
Wait. Smile?
Her eyes widened and a grin suddenly appeared in her face.
"Today, I accomplish two things." She said proudly. "First, I talked all day with the SP of Seiyo High and didn't get killed." She paused. I rolled my eyes.
"And the second?"
"I made the SP of Seiyo High, smile again." She said, grinning again.
"And I found out that the Goddess of Seiyo High is a sixteen year old Narcissist." I added in a teasing tone.
"You know, I could make everything change. I'll prove to everyone that you aren't a Sadist." She said. I grimaced.
"What's with that?" I rolled my eyes. "That isn't going to happen."
"With Hinamori Amu, the sixteen year old Narcissist in charge, I can make anything happen." She assured, raising her arm in a "can-I-have-a-handshake-gesture".
I sighed and gave up.
"It was nice doing business with you, Mr. Sadistic Prince." She said, shaking my hand.
"I should say the same, Ms. Goddess of Seiyo High." I shrugged. She let my hand go and made another gesture.
"No one should know about who I am, okay?" She winked. Her index finger was on her mouth.
"Okay." I sighed.
"Gotta go~!" She called after running to the door.
Now the only problem left was this stupid, annoying feeling that remains in my chest.

I woke up, suddenly feeling happy for some reason.
I was excited to go to school as well.
I have the feeling that this day will be great!
=
I arrived to school, earlier than expected.
For two reasons.
First, I couldn't sleep.
Second, I kept thinking about what happened yesterday.. and her.
I grumbled, swinging my bag on the back of my shoulders.
Many people were already in school, including the five popular guardians.
And Amu was one of them.
The way I said her name sent shivers down my spine. In a good way.
I walked faster than usual, not understanding what I was feeling inside.
What was I feeling?
People still tried to ignore me, although fear is still visible in their eyes.
I sighed and went to the classroom.
But was stopped by a pink-haired girl who appeared to come out of nowhere.
"Ikuto! You're early today." She said, sticking her tongue out. Many mouths fell open in surprise, including the four remaining guardians. My eyes widened. "So where are we going today?" She asked innocently.
"Anywhere you like." I sighed. The look on her eyes seemed to be craving for something. I sighed again. "Amu." I finished. Which caused more people to drop their jaws, and for her to smile.
This was going to be a long day.
A/N:
Hmm. This is becoming seemingly more like a manga series than a fanfic. XD
I can imagine it in my mind. Lawl.
Review please~ :)
