(The Real Me)

(Chapter 6)

(Date: Feburary 15, 2010)

(Amu POV)

When I was on my way to school I felt like there was someone following me.

"Yo Hinamori." Kuukai said.

"Oh Kuukai I thought you were Ikuto." I told him.

"Sorry Ikuto had caught a cold today so since their parents are working Utau has to take care of him." He told me.

"I see hmmm…maybe I should skip school today." I said.

"Skip school? You are Hinamori Amu the girl has straight A+'s and has never been absent or tardy." Kuukai told me as he clutches both of my arms I just sweat dropped.

"It's only for today I'm going to call my cousin." I told him and dialed the home phone number.

"Onee-sama do you mind calling in sick for me?" I asked her.

"Eh? Why Amu-chan?" She asked me.

"I have to take care of Ikuto because he caught a cold today." I replied to her.

"I see…okay I will call in sick for you." She told me.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Of course anything for my favorite cousin." She said.

"Thanks okay bye." I said as I press the bye button.

"Do you mind telling me where Utau and Ikuto live?"

"You mean you don't know? Didn't Miki-san tell you?" Kuukai asked me I just shook my head.

"Alright since school doesn't start for half an hour follow me." Kuukai told me and he started walking towards school.

So we walked past school then he pointed to the house with gates around it.

"It's over there." He told me.

"Okay thanks Kuukai." I replied to him and walked towards Ikuto's house.

When I was at my destination the sign read "Tsukiyomi Residence" so this must be it. I opened the gate door and ranged the doorbell.

"Yes who is it? Amu what are you doing here?" Utau asked me.

"Hi Utau I am here to help you to take care of Ikuto." I replied.

"Oh you are a life saver." She told me and I smiled.

"C'mon Ikuto's room is up here." She told me. Utau led me to Ikuto's room upstairs and when we were there Utau opened the door to reveal a shirtless Ikuto in bed! I covered my face with my hands and blush bright red.

"Dude put a shirt on we have guest right now!" Utau yelled at Ikuto.

"But wouldn't the guest be glad that her boyfriend is shirtless." He replied with a smirk.

"Why would I be glad you pervert!" I yelled at him while putting my hands down.

"Alright fine I'll put a shirt on." He replied.

"So why aren't you at school Amu-koi?" He asked me I blushed at the 'koi' part.

"Kuukai told me that you had a cold when I heard that I called my cousin and I asked her if she can call in sick for me of course she said yes so here I am ready to nurse you." I told him.

"Let see when I'm sick Su always made vegetable soup and fresh squeezed lemonade for me but I can't wear this while I'm cooking my clothes will get a stain." I said.

"Oh that's right I have my cooking clothes with me." I said. (Picture on profile)

"Why do you have cooking clothes in your bag?" Utau asked me.

"I don't just have music class I also have cooking class too." I told her.

"But you're supposed to have one elective." Utau told me.

"Yeah I know but since I am the smartest girl in the school and the principal's daughter is a fan of my cousin he let me have two electives." I told her.

"Wow you are lucky to have a famous cousin in Japan." She told me.

"Isn't your dad famous too?" I asked her.

"Yeah…in Europe." She replied.

"So did Miki-san made that for you?" Utau asked me.

"No onee-sama bought it for me with Miki's touches." I told her.

"Wow your cousin has good taste in fashion so I'm guessing your style is Cool'n'Spicy?" Utau asked me.

"Yes and I'm guessing your style is Punk Lolita?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Uh excuse me ladies if you are going to talk about fashion do it when you guys are shopping and there is a poor, unfortunate, sick boy waiting to be taking care of." Ikuto told us.

"Utau can you show me your bathroom?" I asked her and she nodded.

We walked out of Ikuto's bedroom and Utau pointed the bathroom next to her bedroom. When I was in the bathroom I noticed a picture of Aruto-san, Souko-san, Yoru, Iru, Eru, and Utau. The boy with midnight blue hair looks so familiar to me is that Ikuto? I think I remember now.

(Amu's Flashback)

A 5 year old pink hair girl was walking home from school and when she opened the door in there was a 12 year old blonde hair girl and her parents talking to the little pink hair girl's parents. The little pink hair girl's expression was very happy to see the 12 year old blonde hair girl and ran to give her a big hug. (Little Amu picture is in my profile)

"Onee-tama what are you doing here?" The little pinkette asked her cousin.

"Amu-chan I have to tell you something." The cousin told the little pinkette.

"What is it onee-tama?" The pinkette asked her cousin.

"Amu-chan I'm moving to Tokyo." The cousin replied.

"Eh? Why?" The little pinkette with hint sadness in her voice.

"Okaa-san and Otou-san had accepted a job there." The cousin replied. (I think that's how you spell mother and father in Japanese)

"But onee-tama is still going school here right?" The pinkette asked her cousin.

"No I'm going to be transfer to a school in Tokyo." The cousin replied.

"No I don't want onee-tama to go onee-tama is my only friend everyone at my school doesn't want to be my friend don't leave me!" The pinkette yelled with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Amu-chan I want to be with you too." The cousin told the pinkette.

"It's not fair…onee-tama can you live with me?" The pinkette asked her cousin.

"I'm sorry Amu-chan I can't." The cousin replied. The pinkette's eyes were full of tears and she ran strait to the door then she stopped and turned around.

"Onee-tama I hate you!" The pinkette yelled at her cousin and ran outside of the house.

"Amu-chan!" The cousin yelled.

"Why don't you give Amu-chan a few minutes she will eventually calm down." The pinkette's mother told the cousin.

"Obaa-chan." The cousin said.

A 7 year old boy with midnight boy was walking down the side walk while cursing his older siblings.

"Stupid Yoru, stupid Iru, and stupid Eru making me walking back and forth to get what they want when mom and dad is still at work." The boy cursed.

When he was walking he saw a cute pink hair girl crying on the door step so he decided to walk towards the girl.

"Oh are you okay little girl?" The boy asked the little pinkette.

"Eh? Who are you?" The pinkette asked the boy.

"Lets just I am your savior." The boy told her.

"M-My savior." The pinkette said confused.

"So why are you crying?" The boy asked her.

"My cousin is moving away and she is my only friend." The pinkette told the boy.

"No she isn't from now on I'm going to be your friend." The boy told her while smiling.

"Really?" The pinkette asked and the boy nodded.

"Arigatou onii-chan." The pinkette thanked the boy and she walked in the house.

"Amu-chan." The cousin said.

"Onee-tama I'm sorry that I said I hate you I didn't mean it will you forgive me?" The pinkette asked.

"Of course I would." The cousin replied.

(End of Amu's flashback)

I was smiling when I remember that I took off my clothes then put it in my school bag and put on my cooking outfit also put in pigtails then walked down stairs to see Utau in a purple apron with black butterflies.

"Alright I need potatoes, carrots, celery, chicken stock, a small pot, and some spices." I said.

Utau took out the small pot and the spices I opened the fridge and took out the vegetables also the chicken stock. I pour hot water in the pot and put it on the stove so while that is simmering. I opened the fridge again and grabbed the lemons then I saw Utau chopped all of the vegetables about ½ inches and throw it in the pot. I cut the lemons in half then squeezed it in a pitcher and put water in it then I put in 4 teaspoons of sugar and put it the fridge. Utau pour out all the water leaving just vegetables then put the chicken stock in the pot add some salt, pepper, and thyme.

"Mmmm…this smells yummy is it ready yet Amu?" Utau asked me.

"Let me see…only for a couple of minutes." I replied and Utau made a pouted face. I laughed at her face expression.

"Amu I like you I wish you was my sister." She told me.

"Thanks but what about Iru and Eru?" I asked her.

"Yeah we were pretty close back then but as they grow up they always hang out with each other or with their friends even Yoru too." She told me.

"Hey what if you were my sister but instead being related you could be my sister-in-law." She told me and I blushed pink.

"You want me to marry Ikuto isn't that too soon?" I asked.

"Yes but the sooner you married Ikuto the sooner you will be my sister-in-law." She told me and I blush bright red.

"I think the soup is done." I said.

Utau grabbed a spoon and tasted it she nodded very happily. I grabbed a bowl and pour the soup in then pour lemonade in a glass cup. I put the bowl full of soup and the glass of lemonade on a tray than take the tray upstairs to Ikuto's room. I saw Ikuto reading Beauty Pop manga the last volume I smiled maybe he and I do have something common.

"Ikuto here is your meal." I told him. He put the manga on the table and I put the tray on his lap.

"This looks delicious." He told me.

"Thanks." I replied. He took one sip and he smiled.

"It tastes good too you are an excellent cook perfect to be my wife." He told me with a smirk and I blushed pink.

"Ikuto do you remember when we first met I mean as kids?" I asked him.

"I don't really know." He replied.

"Ummm…I know this will probably get you to remember." I told him. I walked over to a chair and sat on it I closed my hands so they will turn into fists then I put my fists on my eyes then I began crying.

"I…I remember now you were the cute little pinkette who was crying because her cousin is moving away." He told me and I nodded.

"I want to give you something after when you finish." I told him.

"Can you tell me what it is?" He asked me.

"No it's a secret." I told him.

He took the bowl and pours the whole thing in his mouth. Maybe I shouldn't say that I want to give him something after he finished eating. I throw my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek I can see him smirking.

"Nice gift but I want it to be on my lips." He told me with a smirk.

"By getting me sick I think I kiss you some other time when you are not sick." I told him then I heard the doorbell rang.

(Utau POV)

When I opened the door it was Kuukai I blushed a tint of pink.

"Kuukai aren't you supposed to be at school right now?" I asked him.

"Yeah I was but the principal announce that the teachers have a meeting today and he dismissed us early." He told me.

"I see…ano Kuukai I was wondering if you are free Friday night?" I asked him nervously.

"Yeah I'm free for Friday night." He told me.

"Will you go out with me?" I asked him then my heart started beating rapidly.

"Sure." He told me with his goofy grin.

"How about we go eat ramen?" I asked him.

"Alright I heard that there is a competition at the ramen shop where the train station is." He told me.

"Challenge? Are you challenging me boy?" I asked me I could see he was smirking.

"Oh we got a feisty one here." He said. Then I heard laughing upstairs when I turned around it was Amu.

"You know the more you two are together the closer you two will become a cute couple." Amu told us and we blushed red.

"Amu!" I yelled.

"Utau Ikuto is sleeping right now and I have to go now." She told me and left.

(Mimi and Amu's Mansion)

(Amu POV)

When I was at my home there was note on the door and I began reading it.

Dear Amu,

Ran, Miki, Su, Dia, and I went shopping around 12:00 am and everyone went home so we will be back around 1 hour or so.

Love,

Mimi

I took out my mansion key and opened door but I sense I am not alone in my home.

"Hello is anyone here?" I asked and I widen my eyes when I saw him.

"Ohayo Ichigo-chan." Kilik answered me.

"Onii-sama!" I yelled and lunge towards him which made him falls.

"Whoa there Ichigo-chan save some for your cousin." He told me.

"Where have you been?" I asked him.

"I was at the art convention in Paris." He replied.

"You could at least call or email or even write a letter to us." I told him.

"Sorry I was really busy." He told me and I got off of him.

"Onii-sama I'm a little tired do you mind carrying me to bed?" I asked him. He chuckle then pick me up in bridal style and carried me upstairs.

"Hey." He said.

"Huh?" I said.

"You know you are heavy than you look." He told me.

"If I wasn't so tired right now I would beat you to the pulp!" I told him.

He put me down on my bed and pulls up the blanket. When he left I drifted off to sleep and began dreaming.

(Mimi POV)

Right now I am in bridal shop with my friends. My friends are looking for my wedding dress and I am looking for a bridesmaid dress for Amu. It's elegant yet with spicy side to it just the way Amu-chan likes it. (Pic on Profile)

"Hey Mimi-chan what do you think of this?" Miki asked while holding my wedding dress.

"Oh it's so beautiful I love it." I replied to her.

"Try it on Mimi." Dia told me. I nodded and I took the wedding dress from Miki's hand, and went in the dressing room. When I step out of the door my friends gasp.

"Mimi-chan you look so beautiful." Dia said.

"Arigatou Dia and arigatou Miki for choosing this for me." I told them and they both smile.

(Amu POV)

As I woke up from my deep slumber I felt something soft and furry I turned to look it was Kiri. I smile she look so cute and calm like a little baby. I got out of bed so Kiri won't wake up then I heard something downstairs so I ran out to the door and I saw that my cousin to be was playing wii.

"Oi what are you playing?" I asked him.

"What do you think I'm playing I'm playing wii." He told me.

"I meant what game baka?" I asked him.

"Soul Calibur Legends." He replied.

(It is a very fun game next to Kingdom Hearts. Very addicting if you are a girl there would be a lot of cute guys and if you are guy there are beautiful girls with big breasts which is kind of perverted. So if you know the game you should know the story line and if you don't it's about a holy sword named Soul Calibur and a cursed sword named Soul Edge. Only three people can wiled these two swords they are Siegfried, Nightmare, and Algol. Siegfried can wield both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur at first he chooses Soul Edge but he realized it's an evil sword that sucks the wielder's soul which is kind of disturbing right now he chooses Soul Calibur. Nightmare can only wiled Soul Edge since he was part of it. And Algol can wiled both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur too since he was the creator of the swords he first created Soul Edge but ever since his son was controlled by Soul Edge he had no choice to kill him so he created Soul Calibur to destroy Soul Edge. That's basically it.)

"Oi do you remember our bet?" I asked him.

"What bet?" He asked.

"The first person who completed Soul Calibur Legends first will get anything they want for a couple of weeks and guess what I won." I told him.

"You so did not win and I'll prove it." He told me. When he got back to the main menu he went into quest and saw that my profile said completed. He was really shocked and I was grinning.

"When you started playing didn't you read what I have done in my profile?" I asked him.

"No I don't like to read." He replied.

"I can't believe I'm hearing this from a person who has a 4.0 in middle school." I told him.

"This is different in school I have to read but when I'm playing a game I don't have to read." He told me.

"You know I found a perfect dress shirt for my boyfriend today when I was on my way home." I told him.

"You have a boyfriend?" He asked.

"Yep his name is Tsukiyomi Ikuto." I told him.

"You're dating a Tsukiyomi?" He asked.

"Yep the younger brother of Yoru, Iru, and Eru also the forth child of your music teacher." I told him.

"So Aruto-sensei has 4 children?" He asked me.

"Nope 5 kids there are 2 boys and 3 girls." I told him.

"Wow that's a lot of kids." He said.

"Yeah I know but Ikuto is really kind, cool, and calm but he is kind of perverted."

"Really well I can't wait to meet him tomorrow." He told me.

"Wait what do you mind tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Ichigo-chan meet your substitute music teacher." He told me.

"Oh…wait what?" I said.

Mimi: Sorry for the late update I was busy with school work and trying to think of what I should write next because there are two stories bonking in my head.

Amu: The first one bonking her head is a story about me becoming Amulet X and the second is about Ikuto and Utau had become animals because of an experiment that the Easter scientists did.

Mimi: Yep that's exactly right. So that's all I have to say so please R&R.
