Chapter 7

IPOV:

I stared at them from around the corner. The emotion that I felt, felt foreign to me. Something I'd never experienced, yet I knew what it was. Jealousy. I sighed at the word. Me? Feeling jealous? Disgusting.

I knew what to do. A whole plan formed in my head. All I had to do, was to get the plan into action. But for now, I had to make sure Amu didn't suspect anything.

I slowly tiptoed up the stairs to my room and headed for my personal bathroom. I stepped into the shower turning on the cold water.

My birthday's tomorrow…I thought to myself and smiled. I can start my plans tomorrow. All I have to do is make some phone calls.

I quickly finished taking a shower and got out, drying myself with a towel.

I threw the boxers I had worn before into the hamper, and grabbed some clean clothes. I ended up choosing a stripped shirt with black pants, grabbing a random colored boxer in the process. I quickly put them on; wrapping a towel around my neck and walked down the stairs, to the kitchen.

"Hey Amu," I mumbled grabbing a banana.

"Hey, where were you?" she asked. She eyed my hair.

"I had to head out for a bit. So where's Tadase?"

"He left a bit ag-…" She blushed realizing what I asked. I took a bite out of the banana. "I-Ikuto! D-don't you know to dry your hair a-after getting out of the shower?"

"If it bothers you, you dry it." I threw my towel at her and walked out of the kitchen. She followed me to the living room.

"Sit." She ordered, pointing to the floor. I obeyed and sat in front of the sofa. She took a seat behind me and started drying my hair.

"I was thinking," I mumbled throwing my banana peel on the coffee table. "My birthday's tomorrow and I find it boring to spend it with my parents. Wanna spend it with me?" Amu froze and I smiled. "You can invite Tadase of course. I was planning on inviting some friends too."

Amu hesitated. "S-sure. A-are you going to celebrate here, or somewhere else?"

I thought about it. "Somewhere else I guess. We can all meet here, and then head out to somewhere."

"Mkay…" she mumbled. I chuckled and got off the floor. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to make some phone calls." I ran back to my room and reached for my cell. I dialed the familiar phone number and waited.

"Hello?" the person on the other line answered.

"Kukai?" I smiled. Oh, this is gonna be good.
