Chapter 6 Looks of love

"So Nagihiko, where did you meet Amu? Was it friendship at first sight?" the two looked at each other.

"Well I'm not sure about that? I mean guess I was in between." Nagihiko looked at her in annoyance.

"What do you mean in between?"

"Well it depends on the weather if you think what I did was okay.

"Well I never asked for it!"

"What was I suppose to do you were tied up!"

"You didn't have to I could do it on my own!"

"You know it takes two people!"

Too shocked to move, blushing Utau asked, "Um Amu? Are you sure he's not your boyfriend?"

Nagihiko and Amu looked from her and her boyfriend, who was pretending to be interested in a tree, and then looked back at each other. They laughed so hard the fell to the ground.

Kukai smiled one of those goofy smiles of his. "We'll take that as a no. babe I don't think Amu is that stupid."

"Don't worry Utau, I would never do anything like that to Amu-chan." Surprisingly this gave Amu a slight disappointed feeling in her gut. "How about we all have lunch together?"

"Awesome, and I have something to ask you."

*Under a Sakura tree*

The four of them were sitting on the grass side of the school. Utau was busy talking with Kukai, Nagihiko who lying on his back sat up next to Amu.

"So you wanted to ask me something?"

"Oh yeah. In the Nurses office you never answered the question. What expression was that?"

"Which one?"

"The one you did before you shrieked like a girl and fell off the chair."

"I didn't shriek! I went WWWAH!"

Giggle "Sorry. The last one what was that one?"

"You don't know?" amu shook her head no. "But everyone knows that one."

"Well excuse me for not being everyone." She blushed with embarrassment.

"Sorry." It was his turn to laugh. "It's love."

"That's love?"

"Yeah, you mean you've never seen it before?"

"Of course I do! My mom says sh.." She was stopped mid-sentence by him. He turned to her and said, that's "Family love. What I'm talking about is love love. You know girlfriend, boyfriend, fiancés, marriage, stuff like that. Love life you know?"

"…"

"Here let me show you. Now I'm gonna do something that might shock you so be prepared. Kay?"

Amu only nodded, and for some reason she was a bit nervous. A bit? She was nervous like hell! Nagihiko was right what he did shock her. Reaching out his hand out and the index finger touched her lower lip. It rested there for a bit, until he ran it across to the side of her face cupping her cheek in his hand. His eyes gazed into hers as if she was the only thing in the world. The face he wore was the one she first saw. It was different up close when he looked at her though. She liked it in a way. All the pain and sorrow she felt faded away into nothingness.

"Amu." The way he said her name was in a way that made her want to melt.

"Y..yeah?"

A gentle smile played on his face, then leaning in he whispered in her ear words that she'd always wanted to hear from a boy she loved. Yes she was able to feel love but to see it on another person's face, let alone hearing it from them, never came from Tadase. She had yearned for received love, but knew that she would never have. She began to cry.

"Amu. What's wrong?" Then it dawned on him why she was crying. 'Oh! Oh god! I'm so stupid. Tadase, you're a jackass.'

"Ah, no it's nothing. Heh, sorry I have a stomach ache. I'm going to the nurses office." She needed time alone. He didn't stop her. she started to run.

"Huh? Where's Amu going?" kukai asked, interrupting the conversation between him and his girlfriend.

"Is something with her?" Utau was about get up, but Nagihilko stopped her.

Don't worry she'll be fine. She just wants to be alone for now. 'Though, I'm not sure if it's safe.'

And he was right to worry too. A figure that had been watching the scene made its way inside the school following after it's pray.

*nurses office*

She ran though the doors into the office and over to a cot. The nurse left a note saying that she was going to be back in an hour. "God, I need to calm down." She sat on the bed resting her head in her hands. Unknown to Amu there was shuffle so soft it couldn't be heard.

"Jeez what's with me? I just ran away! How stupid am I? Sigh. I should just forget about it."

"That's right,"

"Huh?" strong arms wrapped around her. Amu could feel the body heat, and that sent seemed so familiar.

"No."

"Yep, it's me, and you're right you should forget about it."

"What?"

She shrugged violently out from his arms, turning to him to see a pair of piercing sapphire eyes. Ikuto was giving her his famous evil grin that belonged only to her.

"I..I don't know what you're talking about."

"Actually I think you do."

The next thing she knew Ikuto was grabbing her arm in a tight grip. "Ow! Let go of m…hm?" Ikuto had put his index finger on her lower lip just as Nagihiko had done and caressed it until his whole hand cupped her cheek. 'wha wha wha wha what! Huh? Oh god he saw.' Ikuto had seen what Nagihiko had done to Amu.

His face was right in front of hers what freaked her out the most is that he wore the same expression Nagihiko wore. 'oh god oh god…oh god oh god….god!'

"Amu." He said in a soft silky loving voice. 'WHAT?'

Just as Nagihiko did, he leaned down towards her ear and whispered something she'd never forget. Was it the three wonderful words you ask? Well…

She was frozen in place when he said, "You are not loved." She gasped "By boys anyway." and then she started to struggle trying to get out of his grasp unsuccessfully while he chuckled. "Shut up you don't know anything! Get away from me! Let go!"

"I don't huh? Look at Tadase things didn't go well with him."

"Th..that was your fault!"

"I might as well have done you a favor! Do you think any boy of any status would want a pathetic, measly, little, toy like you?" she grew still and silent at that.

"You see? That's you'll ever be to anyone in this world, a little pin cushion. They won't even risk glancing your way, let alone talk to you. Do…hm?"

"Enough….low…so low." PUNCH!

Ikuto fell to the ground holding his hand up to his face where she had given him her right hook. 'That's new!' "OOOFF" she was on top of him now, straddling his waist. She gripped the front of his shirt, and pulled his face toward hers.

"That's low even for you, but if you think you can put me down with those evil and poisonous words think again jackass! I may be thought of as just a toy, but it's better than the status of a child like you."

'Man she's hot with this attitude.' "Amu hasn't ever learned," he pushed her to the ground so that the position reversed. "That it's not wise for a girl to fight a boy. Have you?" (a.n. this is a rule that must be followed in life. Keep it in mind girls.) "The reason for that is because of this." He swooped down and gave her a kiss. 'AGAIN? WHATS WITH HIM AND KISSES THESE DAYS?'

"Stop get off of me." she managed to move her head away from him."Why can't you ge…huh?" What was he doing? She felt his mouth sucking on her neck. "Wha..what are you…I said get off!" 'Oh no! No way! He can't be..he wouldn't…'

Ikuto got up looking at her seductive grin on his face. "That was the first time you've ever given me a mark. Now I gave you one. Now they'll know you're taken. Gotta go now." He was at the door, when he stopped and looked back at her. "Ya know it's sexy the way you look right there. Careful a wolf might pounce." Then he was gone, while she still lay there in shock.

'No it's not true. Not true! Not true! Mirror, where's the mirror?' she found it and looked at her neck.

"….A HICKEEEYYYY?"

*Somewhere in the hall with Ikuto*

"Three…two…one..now."

"A HICKEEEYYY?"

*Chuckle* "I love it."
