!Chapter 6!

(Amu's P.O.V)

It's been a couple of days after the "kiss" and it's now New Years Eve. Ikuto and I really haven't spoken to each other, but, it's not like we where going to do so in the first place. I sat on the couch watching some old cartoon re-runs with a mug of hot chocolate in my hands. I was curled up in two light blankets, looking like a cocooned butterfly. I did this ever New Years Eve, just to prepare myself for the drunken state, high state or both to come later that night.

Rima came through the doors with Utau on her heels. Looks like her "walk in the park" is over. I glanced up at them coming toward me. "Well, look what the cat dragged in." Utau glared as I turned my head back to the TV. Utau plopped down on my right and Rima on my left. They just stared at me. I glanced nervously at them both, whipping my head around. I gulped. "What are you two looking at?" I said; my cool and spicy outer self taking over. They just smirked. Then Yaya bounced in the apartment with bags in her hands.

"Yaya! That's not going to be enough! Where is the other stuff?" Utau asked, crossing her arms. Yaya skipped over with the bags in her arms swaying back and worth. "Yaya's arms got tired," She dumped the bags in Rima's arms. "So Yaya called the boys to help with the stuff!" Just then Kukai, Nagi, Kairi and Ikuto walked into the Room. Each had about six of seven boxes in the hands and bags hanging from there arms.

Kukai struggled to keep them steady. Ikuto grimaced at the boxes, like there where skunks inside. "What the hell is with you girls and shopping? Don't you think this in a little too much?" He said, dropping boxes on the floor and sliding the bags on top of the boxes. Utau got up, picked the boxes off the ground and headed toward my room as the boys followed her. She came back out when all the boys came out and had taken seats on the couch, chair and floor.

Rima then got up and towered over me sitting down. I looked at Utau, who was standing over me also. I finished my cup, put it on the coffee table and stood up. Now Rima had to look up at me. I sighed; I knew there was something fishy going on. "Don't even think about leaving Amu, this year, your dressing up." I shook my head as they came closer, ready to grab me. I looked at the boys with puppy eyes as they watch the scene unfold. "Any of you want to…I don't know, HELP ME!" Kukai got up, ready to help, but Utau glared, making him sit down. "Don't make me do this." I said falling back on the couch.

Then I hurried up and flopped over the couch, flipping in the air and landing on my feet. I made a break for the door, but Rima blocked me. I then ran to my door, but Utau was there. I ran, jumped over the couch and almost made it to the window, but Yaya blocked me. I slowly backed up and tripped over someone's out stretch leg. I looked up to see Ikuto smirking. I glared, but before I could get up, Utau and Rima grabbed onto me, dragging me back wards. "Nooo! Damn it! Damn you Tsukiyomi, if not for you, I would have gotten away!" I said, wiggling back and worth, kicking my legs out.

"Ya-ba da-ba doo!" He said, laughing. "Bastard! Uhhhh!" I said, screaming as they pulled me into my room to do only god knows what to me…

(Ikuto's P.O.V)

After I howled, she cursed me out and screamed before her door shut. "Dude, what are they going to do with her?" Kukai asked, staring at her door. Nagi shook his head. "Do we even want to know?" Kairi asked, looking at Yaya approaching them. She sat down at the ground in front of the couch while Kairi, Kukai and I sat on it, Nagi in the chair beside us. She shook her head. "Yaya was amazed they got Amu out of the house last year. Yaya bets anything that Amu is in big trouble." Yaya shook her head as she heard another scream come from the room. It was suddenly cut off.

"Well, it's not THAT bad, is it?" Nagi asked. Just then Yaya got up and moved to the boxes. She opened one, rum-edged around and pulled something out. She held it out in front of her for us to see. It was a reveling little black corset with fringe at the bottom. It had a white line up the middle and the top was strapless and cut in half, so if a woman where to wear it, there boobs would spill out, there was also stockings attached to the outfit. (A/N Pic on profile.) My eyes popped; just thinking about Amu wearing that made me go hard. "Amu's going to wear that?" I questioned. She shook her head and put it back in the box. "Yaya doesn't think Amu would wear such a thing, but Yaya does think that Utau and Rima will make her try it on, along with the rest of these." She gestured to the forty boxes in front of her and ten bags.

"Well, I'd hate to be Amu." Nagi said, looking at the door. It then creaked open to reveal Rima. She glared at the staring Nagi and turned to Yaya. "Start bringing in the boxes. While Utau straps down and buffers Amu from head to toe, we have to show her outfits." Yaya nodded and grabbed two boxes, haling them into the room. She then shut the door to leave us guys to do whatever while they give Amu a makeover.

As the guys fought over the controller, I sat back into the couch and looked at the white ceiling. I thought about when I kissed Amu on the cheek. I'm a player, I don't fall in love of date. If I had a hot girl in my arms and had the chance to kiss her, I'd do it in a heartbeat. So, why'd I kiss Amu on the cheek when I had the chance to make a move? What the hell is wrong with me? Ever since I came to New York to see my sister, I've been acting weird. What the hell is so special about this place, about that girl?

I sat there, questioning my sanity and mood for who knows how long. Yaya kept coming in and out of Amu's bed room, taking two or three boxes at a time. After a while, I really didn't notice anymore. Everything got fuzzy and then dark….

I heard voices, faint, then louder until they where yelling. I jerked upright to yell at Kukai for doing some shit. "Kukai shut the fuck up would you?" He looked at me and grinned. "Well, if kitty boy isn't up from his cat nap." I glared and looked around. It looked darker outside. "What time is it?" I asked, running a hand through my hair. Kairi looked at his watch. "A quarter past six." I nodded. I'd been sleeping for four hours. I looked up for the girls, but they weren't there. "There still not out?" All of them shook there heads and I sighed. Just then the door creaked open; we turned our heads to see none other then the girls. My mouth dropped at the sight. All I could say was wow.

Yaya had her hair down and straitened to where to went just past her shoulders. The only makeup she wore was lip gloss and some eye shadow. Her dress was a light shinny green color and cut down the middle. The dress stopped at her thigh and the back was out except for some strings and to complete her outfit, she wore so silver high heels.

Rima, the midget, hair was pulled up into a messy bun. She had eyeliner on and light pink lip stick on. Her dress was plain yellow and also cut down the middle. There was a piece of silver in the middle holding it though. It went the her thighs also. To complete her outfit, she had on some black strap high heels.

Utau's hair was taken out of her usual two pony tails, so it was out long before she clipped it on the back of her head, making a long pony tail. She had on eye shadow, some blush and lip gloss along wit long silver dangling earrings. Her light blue shinny dress was tight at the bottom, wrapped around her thighs, and lose at the top, so with her ever movement it shook. She had black pumps on the wrapped around her ankles.

Last but not least, Amu. Her hair has let loose so it fell to her back. Her pink locks curled at the ends of her hair. She wore eye liner and light pink lip stick. She had one a diamond chocker with matching earrings. Her dress had a heart cut on the front and fell to her upper thigh. Her dress was midnight blue with a bow in the middle. The black was out and it was covered in sparkles. She wore fishnet with knee high boots. (A/N pictures are on my profile)

They stood there, waiting for one of us guys to say something. We sat there, all aw-struck until I finally broke the silence. I dog whistled and smirked, bringing everyone to life. Amu blushed a deep red. No wonder she didn't have any blush on, her had her own. Utau whipped her head back and grinned. "What do you think of my mad skills? I, my friends, am a genius." Utau said, walking back into Amu's room. Nagi was gawking at Rima. Rima slightly blushed and glared, making Nagi laugh. Kairi was blushing, and kept pushing his glasses up his nose as he stared at Yaya. Now I looked at Amu. She was staring at the ground, blushing like crazy. Jackpot.

I snuck over the her a wrapped an arm around her waist. She looked up so fast I thought she'd get whiplash. "Get the hell off me. This is still your fault." I grinned, coming closer to her face. "Still holding a grudge I see." I breathed on her face, making her blush more as Utau came back into the room with handbags. She hit me in the gut giving me that glare. I shrugged. After her gave the girls there hand bags, she pulled Amu aside and motioned we go ahead.

(Amu's P.O.V)

I looked at Utau when everyone was outside. She opened my handbag and pulled out some mace. "I know my brother is going to be all over you tonight. If he goes too far or something happens, use it." I nodded. She also pulled out my wallet and opened it. There was a bundle of cash. "Just in case you need to hail a taxi or get in trouble. I doubt we'll see each other until tomorrow." I nodded again. I thought it would be that way. I then hugged her. She hugged me back. We where always like sisters. Rima and I where like that two. We where like a big family. Yaya was the baby. Rima was the spoiled teen. I was the middle child and Utau was the oldest. We always looked out for each other.

I let go and looked at her. She just smiled. "Let's go, we have to ketch up to them." She then pulled me out the door. I smiled. It was nice o have someone there for you. We got out of the apartment and stumbled onto the streets. They where clutters of people everywhere, going to the same place as us, just then we looked ahead to see everyone walking to Times Square. Yaya had climbed on Kukai's back, waving her hands everywhere. Kairi was next to Nagi who was walking just behind Rima. Ikuto was behind everyone. Utau came up on his right and I was on his left.

We all talked to each other about everything as we made it to Times Square. It was bright with color and filled with people. When the music started playing, everyone was cheering and going wild; Utau went to stand by Kukai, Yaya got off him and got on Kairi, cheering. Rima was being stubborn, but stood next to Nagi who grabbed her hand. So I was left to stand next to Ikuto.

Where certain bands or singers came on stage, I screamed and cheered, but other wise, I would just kinda stand there. Ikuto kept staring at me, so I shifted under his fixed gaze. Then it came when there were only twenty-five seconds to a new year. Some dude handed out some "2011" glasses that the girls and I gladly took. Yaya some how found some poppers, where you pull on it and small streamers came out. She handed us all some. Then there was ten seconds to new years. Everyone started counting. "10, 9, 8." Utau came next to me with Kukai and she grabbed my hand, counting with me."7, 6, 5" I didn't really notice, but I grabbed Ikuto's hand to and started counting."4, 3, 2" We all got ready to blow. "1, HAPPY NEWYEAR!" everyone screamed as the ball stopped dropping and streamers came down. Yaya popped three at a time, and they all landed in Kairi face.

I laughed and looked up to Ikuto, then we popped his and streamers came in my face. I took my hand and pushed them to the side to see him chuckling. Oh, he wants it that way huh? I reached up, like I was going to kiss him, he leaned in and "POP!" right in his face. He threw them off his face to see a laughing me. Then he grabbed me and put me over his shoulder. "What the fuck! Get your hands off me! Utau, Rima, Yaya, Kukai, Nagi, Kairi! Someone help!" I screamed pounding on his chest and back. Utau shook her head. "Not even two minutes into the new year and she already lost her temper." They all laughed, following Ikuto to where ever he was taking me.

We ended up at one of the near by bars. The place was packed from head to toe, but we some how found a table to sit at. Ikuto took me off his shoulder and put me on his lap. I glared at him, but he laughed and put his arms around me, to make sure I didn't move. About five minutes later, a waiter came up. I didn't even look at the dude. "I don't care what the hell you get me, but it better have something fruity with it, preferably strawberries, and some strong liquor to it, like vodka or something." The dude nodded, took one look at my pouting face and wrote something down; he turned to the others who either ordered a beer, wine or Champaign.

Utau and Rima looked at me and then at Ikuto. "If your going to have her all night, you better watch her, she's going to be drunk again and worse this time." Rima said glaring at him. He just smirked. Utau kicked him under the table. "We mean it; Amu and liquor are a bad mix." I frowned. "Only to you." I muttered. Ikuto snickered, earning glares from the girls.

"Oh, come on guys, give Amu a break, if you where stuck with Ikuto all night, wouldn't you want a drink too?" Kukai asked, holding Utau's hand. She blushed and laughed at the same time. Ikuto shot him a glare that he cringed from. I laughed. "You guys know I'm right here? Besides, Nagi better watch it. Rima may not drink much or she may be responsible, but when she gets drinking, watch out." I said, smirking at Rima.

She grimaced. "That was one time." Then the waiter came back with our drinks. Whatever I had looked good. It had whipped-cream on the top with a cherry and chocolate shaving. It was a clear pink on the bottom, what ever. I drank it down and ordered another. Utau eyed me sipping her wine. "Watch it Amu."

I gave her a look. "It's a new year! Come on, live a little Utau. Someday, your going to be old and wrinkly, hunched over in a chair, then you'll be sorry you didn't live life to its fullest." She stuck her tongue out. The waiter came back with that weird drink.

I took a sip. "Besides, on holidays and when I fell badly of myself is only when I drink. Cut me some slack." I said, taking another sip. She shook he head. "Amu, you are one of a kind, I swear, there's no one like you that I've ever meant, and I've only known you for a couple days." Nagi said, tipping back in his chair. I grinned. "I'll take that as a compliment.

Tonight was going to be wild, I could totally tell. We sat there for an hour, drinking to our hearts content and blabbing about random shit.

"S-so, the bartender said, "W-what the hell are you doing here you ass." Then the donkey turned around and was like, "hee-ha, I'm just here to *hiccup* get a drink." A drunken Utau said, now perched on Kukai's back. We all laughed at what we thought was funny.

"M-m-my turn! So, there's an American dude, there's an Italian dude and a Chinese dude. They where looking for someone where to go, but they where in the desert." Rima paused to take a drink. "S-so they stumble a pond this freaking huge house in the middle of the desert! The guy who had his house was going to give it away, but all three men had to run across the house, who ever was faster would win." Rima pulled her self off the chair and stood up. "The American dude was running, as he pasted the Italian dude, but when they got to the end, the c-Chinese dude was there."

She laughed. "They asked how he did it, and he s-aid" "Me Chinese, me not dumb, me stick rocket up my bum! Rocket go BOOM! I go ZOOM! All across the living room!" We all sang together, laughing our asses off. I giggled as I stuffed my face into Ikuto's chest. He laughed and hugged me.

I then turned to the clock. I pulled my face out of Ikuto's chest, still hugging him and said to the other, "It's one in the morning! I want to go party and not waste my new years eve! So, l-l-lets goo!" I whined, giving Ikuto the puppy dog pout.

"Aw, my whittle kitty tat is sad! I can't have that!" He chuckled, as he stood up and grabbed me, cradling me in his arms. "B-bye guys, I'll s-see you later!" I said waving. Right when we got to the door, I got out of Ikuto's arms and onto my feet. I turned back to the guys. "Have fun and be "safe."" We laughed as Ikuto dragged me out onto the busy streets.

The crowd was slim now; Half of the people where at parties, a third where home sleeping and the rest at bars, so it was easy to get through the streets. I held onto Ikuto's big warm hand, feeling pretty safe. I lightly swung our intertwined arms and giggled a lot.

He just smirked. Does he ever stop? But right now, I could care less. Ikuto drunkenly grabbed me by my waist and swung me into his chest. He walked backwards into an alley. (A/N Oh no! You guys know this is NOT good…for Amu) Then he sniffed my hair. "Hum, you still spell like strawberries. Even if you've been…drinking." He grinned. I giggled again and placed my hand on his face.

I stroked his soft skin. He wasn't as bad as I thought. He was actually kind of funny sometimes. He put his head in my hand, just like a…cat? I giggled again. "Y-you know, you remind me of a, cat. I love cats. There so cute!" I said, petting his head. He meowed (A/N or nyaed, depends on where your from) and licked my hand like a cat. I giggled again.

Then he laid his head on my lap. I kept petting him, tousling his hair this way and that. Then I touched his ear and he grabbed me and pulled me down. He pulled me closer to his until he was by my ear. "My ears…are my weakness." He whispered and bit my ear. "Kya, you-you jerk!" I said, pushing him away.

(Ikuto's P.O.V)

She pushed me away but I pulled her back into my arms. She sat there in my arms for a minute, and then looked up at me. Her golden eyes pierced into my violet ones. I stared into her eyes with longing, and to my surprise, she did also.

I leaned forward, still captivated by her eyes. She leaned forward to as she closed her eyes. Just as I was about to kiss her, she fell into my lap, unconscious. I kissed the air and looked down at her. It was my turn to move the hair out of her eyes.

Who knows how long we sat there, I didn't, and I didn't really care either.

Oh my goodness that is a long chapter, 7 pages; well, for me it's long… O.o but I know I haven't updated in a while. I got this done a day before schooled started. But, my internet is having problems connecting…again. *sigh* so I decided to make it longer. For one because it's late and two because I can't update that much anymore because school started again.

Btw, who ever can guess where the "almost kissing scene" was from; I'll give you a freaking box full of cookies.^^ I just thought it was perfect to put in there. Anyways, don't forget to review to tell me what you thought of the story. Review so I can update! Read you later~
