Chapter 6: You can do it?!

Afterwards I woke up. Thinking about that dream. I had many questions. Why was I having that dream this whole time and Is that pink girl maybe Amu? That witch gets on my nerves.

Morning

Once I woke up I wanted to go to the kitchen. On my way there I heard two familiar voices. When I reached the door I could tell that those two voices were Utau and Amu. They were talking with each other. I was curious, that's why I wanted to eavesdrop, to hear what the both of them were talking about.

„You know, your 'master' is somehow scary. Don't you think so?" Amu turned to look at the door to be sure no one was there.

„No, I don't think so. To tell you the truth he is one of the nicest person I know. Okay he may sometimes behave like a little child and have his bad sides but he is okay- as a master." Utau giggled. Suddenly Amu turns to face Utau. You could read in Amu's expression that she was suprised about the fact.

Me too, who was listening behind the door, was suprised about the fact. I didn't thought that Utau would say something nice about me even though she said that I sometimes behave like a little child what I think is not true.

„But Utau.. why are you working for him? I just can't figure out your reason for working as a maid." Utau's expression changed. Utau always tried to be cheerful but now she couldn't be.

„Hm.. you know, I came here from another country and my parents and siblings are still there. I was able to go here because of good luck. We didn't have had enough money to live that's why I came here to work. The money I get I sent to my parents. I want them to come to Japan, too but they don't get a VISA to stay here. I hope that my family can come here when the time comes and luck on our side is." Utau tried to smile to hide her sadness but Amu could tell that that smile was fake.

Now I tried to open the door a little bit to look at Amu. The last time I saw her felt like a 1000 years. I just wanted to take a short glance at her. I opened it and noticed immediately Utau's expression. She smirked.

„But let's change the subject. Tell me something about you, Amu." I knew where she was heading. She wanted to ask her about her likes and dislikes for me.

„Huh?" Amu was surprised. „What do you mean? What should I tell you about me?"

„Like about your family, friends, boyfriends or likes and dislikes?"

„Hm.. about my family... my mother passed away and my father is a junkie. Nothing interesting. Friends... ha.. friends.. I don't have many because of my father and boyfriend.. I don't have one. To be exact, recently boys are ticking me off... they think they can buy girls." Utau giggled at the tone of Amu.

„What's so funny?"

„Oh sorry, it's nothing. But what do you think should boys do? You know, they are simple minded and stupid. Haha." That was the time when Utau shoot me a glance. I think she meant me with it.

„When you are asking for my opnion, I think a guy should be like a gentlemen. For example, if you are considering me being the girl, I would like to receive roses. I love them. Another thing I love are letters. I like to read letters. In letters you can express your true feelings. That's what it makes so wonderful. And chocolate, I love strawberry chocolate. It tastes the b-..." Amu stopped speaking. „But why are you asking me these things?" Utau didn't noticed that question because she gave me the whole time this look that says:

You have to remember that or I'll kill you... I won't ask her a second time!

Suddenly Amu turned towards the door. She noticed that Utau was somewhat spacing out all of the sudden.

„Hey, you...!" Amu got up from her chair really fast so that it fell down. She was heading towards me. I panicked and the last thing I saw was Utau standing up from her chair also seeming to follow Amu.

I started to run to my room.

The whole time I heard Amu saying: Stop and wait. But my legs didn't stop to run, that is, until I got into my room. I shut it down and locked the door. I leaned with my back to the door and shut my eyes. The only things I could hear were Amu's knocking and shouting behind the door.

Amu's POV

„You, open the door. Why won't you open it?"

I don't get you. Why are you playing the whole time hide and seek? Why is it that you are scared to face me? Am I that scary? What have I done to you? Who are you? I want to know the person who I am living with better.

„Is it that difficult to face me? You can't run away this whole time. Sometime we will meet each other, stand face-to-face." I punched the door like for 2 hours but he didn't give any sign. The fact that he doesn't want to show himself makes me really mad. I had never met such a person. I still waited for him to say something or something else to give a sign or so...

Suddenly I heard a somewhat prushing noise or something like that. I looked down, to the floor and saw a letter. I took it and read it.

Sorry. That was the only thing written in there. Sorry. Just Sorry. How could he do that? I have so many questions and the only thing he could say was SORRY?!

„What's wrong with you!" That was the last thing I said. Afterwards I went to my room. I took my photo album my family pictures. Oh how good that time was. Back then my dad was just a normal family father but after my mum passed away everything went up and down. I looked through those photos until I saw a picture of my childhood friend. My mum told me that I always named him by my self made nickname... Mum...

„My mum took that picture when I was 5 years old. Midnight blue eyes and hair... Cat b-..." Someone knocked on the door.

„Amu are you alright?" It was Utau. I think she was worried because I hadn't shown up for like 5 hours.

„Everthing's okey." Utau, too I wonder if she has ever seen her master...

„Amu, dinner will be at 6. I hope you will show up, okey?" Utau is so nice I really like her. I hope that her family can join her again in the future...

„Alright. See you then."

Ikuto's POV

I was really shocked. What would happend if she sees my disguised face? Would she want to avoid me? I still don't have the courage to face her.

I still heard her punching the door and yelling at me. I went to my desk and sat down. What should I do now?

I took a letter and started to write about my feelings. After a few minutes of thinking I destroyed it. I took another letter and wrote this one word: Sorry.

Afterwards I took that little letter and put it through the door slot. I noticed that she didn't yell anymore. I heard a little noise and knew that she took the letter and opened it. There she started to shout again.

„What's wrong with you!" That was the last thing I heard from her.

Since then 2 weeks have passed. Time over time I thought about showing her myself but I immediately rethought that thought.

I layed on my bed and thought about my next move.

Another thing I love are letters. I like to read letters. In letters you can express your true feelings. Those words rang through my mind. She loved letters and roses. And strawberry chocolate. So what could I do to win her heart? Write letters to her. There I started to write my feelings on a stupid white paper.

Dear Amu,

I clearly remember the day you came here. To my apartment.

It wasn't the first time I saw you. I once bumped into you in school.

Those pink hair I can remember even if it would 1000 years ago. Those beautiful hair. But this is not what I want to tell you...

To tell you the truth I was in panic when you came here because of me, my ugly self. I was scared that you would imediately reject me. Didn't even want to be friends with me. I was scared to show myself to you. Considering you, I am nothing. You are beautiful and honest. And.. I am just Ugly.

I could see and hear that you wanted to know who I am. But I couldn't show myself. I knew you didn't feel comfortable in here that's why I wanted to make it more comfortable for you. I started to buy you things whose I got to know you didn't like. It was that time when you told my that I can't buy you. It wasn't my intention to buy you or something. I was just scared.

Many times I tried to face you. To stand face-to-face. But every time I got scared and isolated myself. I know it might sound stupid and crazy but I watched you the whole time. So.. I want to tell you Sorry.

I know that word ticks you off but really I am sorry for behaving líke this. When the time comes you get to know who I am and why I am like this.

In love,

Ikuto.

After I finished writing I put it in a envelope and was about to head out. To go to her room to give her this but I hesitated went back to my desk and put it into my drawer.

One more time I hesitated to show my feelings and trueself.
