Chapter 9- Shopping And Snow Fight
Recap
" It was 8:30 so Amu had enough time to pick out her clothes and take a shower. Amu decided to get ready now so she could walk around town for the time."
7/24/14
Normal P.O.V-
Amu finished her shower. She was wearing a mini skirt with stockings so she wouldn't freeze to death. She had on sleeveless shirt. It was see through so she put a white undershirt under. The shirt that was on top had bright red as the main color. It was a lace shirt. In bright green words it says "Naughty girl". There is a red, green, and yellow border that is around the word "Naughty girl". She had a royal navy blue sweater with fake diamonds on the top. She put on some black studded snow boots that reached her ankle. She sectioned off the crown of her hair and put it up in a pony tail. She put a light scarf and some gloves on. Now that she was toasty warm she left her house to meet the cool breeze from outside.
She doesn't have any rules for an entire week so she was going to use her freedom to the fullest. She walked into town enjoying the cold breeze on her scars. She did a little window shopping. She was looking for gifts, because next month was Christmas. She couldn't wait. Amu walked by a jewelry store and a certain item caught her eye.
It was the humpty lock & dumpty key. It was so beautiful. Maybe I could buy this for Ikuto. Then Amu looked at the price and her hopes got drained to the sink. The set together cost $100, but to buy one is half the price. Looks like she'll have to buy it for Ikuto only. Amu went into the shop and went to the counter.
Amu saw an old lady who seems nice. "Hello, dear. How may I help?" The lady asked, with a smile.
"Hello. I was wondering if I could buy the dumpty key?" Amu replied, with a smile that could bright up anyone's day.
"Of course. Let me get it for you," The lady said, getting out from behind the counter to go unlock the case.
As the lady was unlocking the case that holds the set, Amu decided to get to know her.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Dia. Yours?"
"Oh it's Hinamori. Amu, Hinamori." (A.N.- LOL James bond moment.)
"Nice name. So...who's the lucky boyfriend?" Dia asked, with a grin
"Oh you got it wrong. He's just a... a friend of mine," Amu waved her hands in front of her to show Dia her mistake about the gift being for a boyfriend.
"Well he must be a very good friend of yours to be paying $50 dollars for one gift," Dia then closed the glass case, holding the key in hand.
"Yeah, he is a very good friend. Hey, can you gift wrap this so I can come pick it up on Christmas Eve?" Amu asked, getting her hopes up high
"I don't always do this..., but I will for you. Pick it up on...the 24th at...5:30 in the afternoon," Dia said putting the pick up date on a paper and handing it to Amu.
"Thank you so much. I'll come by to visit. Bye Ms. Dia," Amu then headed for the door.
"Bye Amu. Also don't call me that. It makes me feel old. Just call me Dia," She said with a smile
"Alright. Bye Dia." With that the shop became empty, with the exception of the shopkeeper.
Amu was now walking along the sidewalk where there were people shoveling the snow to make a walkway for the people. Amu checked the time from her watch. It was now 10:25. Amu could still walk around town for a little. She walked to the mall. For some reason it was even colder inside than outside. Amu passed by a water fountain and now wished she had change. She went over to shops looking for gift for everyone.
I'm not going to go into detail about her shopping trip-
Amu had bought so many gift, she had them to deliver it to her house in 2 weeks. For Utau she bought her a microphone that connects to your ear so you don't have to hold it while performing. For Kairi she bought him a deluxe calculator and laptop. She bought Yaya an entire set of assorted chocolate. For Nadeshiko she bought a mix tape of her favorite songs. She bought Tadase a video game called, Grand theft auto IV. She bought Kukai a soccer ball with equipment and Nagi a basketball. She then bought Rima a comedy movie and a prank book. She also got Rima a fake glasses with mustache. Last but not least she remembered that Ikuto's watch was very messed up. So she went to a shop full of expensive watches.
"Hi. What is the cheapest Rolex watch you have?" Amu said, wanting the price to be really low.
"$1..." The keeper saw the hopeful look on her face and dropped the price... a lot.
"...$100," He said, with a smile
"Really?! Here's the money. Thank you so much," Amu took the watch which was in a box.
"Oh wait! I saw you looking at the fountain so...here," The man gave her a golden coin
"Thanks. I'll be wise on my wish," Amu kept the coin close to her heart as she said those words
Amu left the store and made her way to the fountain. She took the coin in her hands and placed it above her heart. She closed her eyes and made a wish. She really hopes it'll come true. She bought a lot of things. It took her time to save up all that money.
She bought two rolls of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes to put the gift in. She took the folded up boxes, wrapping paper, and the watch home. When she got home she put the things in her attic so Kain wouldn't find them and ruin them. After that she checked the time and it was 3:00. The closest park is half an hour away so she headed out again.
Amu walked to the park at her own pace. She was thinking about everything that has happened. She moves to a new school and makes new friends. However they treat her like they've known her since they were kids. Plus Kain hasn't abused her as much, but he's always someplace else. Could he be planning something. No he couldn't He's always drunk. Don't let him spoil your mood. Enjoy this freedom.
Amu walked into an empty park. It was like a winter wonderland. There was a gate as an entrance. There was a walkway, but then nobody shoveled after the entrance. Amu took slow steps into the park. She called out for Ikuto. Maybe she's at the wrong park. She took out her phone to text Ikuto.
*Hey. I'm at the park. What'd you need?*- Amu
*Perfect. I'm here. Just keep walking forward from where you are and you'll see me*- Ikuto
*K*- Amu
Amu put her phone in her pocket and did as told. She walked slowly noticing she was sinking with each step. foot after foot, she took she would go in deeper to the snow by about an inch. Amu was almost at the middle of the park. She took out her phone and decided to call Ikuto this time.
Ringgggg-
"Yo."
"Yo, yourself. Where are you?"
"*chuckle* Look behind you."
"What?" Before Amu could get a response she was pelted with a million snowballs and fell into the snow and couldn't get up.
"Help! Please!. I can't get out of the snow," Amu yelled, hoping someone heard. She heard footsteps in the snow and was pulled out. She met with emerald green eyes.
"Sup."
"Sup!? Seriously. You pelt me with so many snow balls and that's all you have to say?"
"Hinamori, calm down man." Kukai chuckled.
"Look around. Guys come on out." Kukai gave the signal for everyone to get out of their hiding spots.
"Wha- What's going on?" Amu was clearly confused
"You told me this morning that you've never seen snow in real life...so I made everyone come to the park. You know, so you can fully experience fun with snow," Ikuto said picking up some snow and letting it fall right back down.
"Oh, thank you. Thank you all." Amu was starting to tear up.
"You crying?" Rima said.
"Why? Amu, you're not supposed to cry. Only Yaya's allowed to cry," The great Yaya said.
"It's just that no one has ever done something like this for me." Amu wiped her tears with the back of her hand and put up a big smile.
"Alright then. Let's do this. Boy against girls." Kukai suggested.
"No fair. the boys are obviously going to win." Nadeshiko said pouting.
"So you're accepting defeat already?" Tadase challenged
"No way." Utau said with a smirk.
Seriously. It's like the smirk runs in the family.
"Alright then. boys follow me." Kukai led the boys to the other side of the park.
"I'm staying behind. I don't want to play. I'll just read," Kairi had his head in his book.
"You can start the fight." Amu said taking off her scarf.
"Here. On your mark just wave my scarf and then move as fast as you can," Amu said.
"Fine."
The girls followed Utau to the opposite side of the boys. Everyone built a wall as a shield. Then they prepared balls as Kairi listed the rules to make the game more...interesting.
"If you hit someone with a snowball you're safe. If you're hit then you're out and you have to come to the sidelines. There will be a queen and Kind for each side. Hit them and you're entire team wins. If you go from one side to the other without being hit then you and your entire team wins. Also if you're out, you can't tell the teams anything that is happening that they can't see. The prize for the last standing is...This coupon I have in my pocket. It's for 2 free hot chocolate. The second to last gets it. The last one standing gets...this other coupon, which is for a free dinner. Ok let's start." Kairi took forever to explain all that. Some prizes were good.
As Kairi was counting down from five both teams were picking their leader and sorting out a plan.
"1!" Kairi then ran out of the way, afraid he was going to be hit.
Nobody moved for about 5 minutes. It seems like everyone was preparing while Kairi was reading.
Girl's Plan-
"Alright girls, listen up. We have to choose team leader. Any nominees?" Utau said
"Yaya nominates Amu."
"I second that." Nadeshiko said, raising her hand in agreement.
"I third that.." Rima said
"M-me?" Amu was surprised. She's barely even talked to them and they all want her to be leader.
"Well. Everyone wants you to be leader so you're it, whether you like it or not." Utau said.
She can be scary sometimes, everyone thought.
"Now. We need to win. So here's what we're going to do. Amu you'll go from the side. Stay down and go all the way to the end of the park then go towards the boys side. Since Kairi is recording this he will see, but won't say anything. Then you come back. We'll be your distraction and cover you if anything goes wrong. Just stay down and get there as fast as you can. They're bound to notice you're not here after some time. Ok, move out, move out." Utau acted like a Sargent and the girls were the soldiers.
Amu got into position and began her long journey to the boys side, then back.
Boy's Plan-
"Guys, knowing my sister, I bet she has this whole plan worked out. I think we should just get eliminate all the girls as quick as possible. So as the leader you must all back me up if needed," Ikuto said, crouching behind a snow wall.
All the boys agreed and began making snow balls.
World War III-
The snowball fight has now gone into 10 minutes and no one has made a move, except for Amu. Only the girls and Kairi know this, because she has passed Kairi. She has to go farther to go all the way to the boys side.
"NOOOOO! Yaya doesn't want to die." Yaya screamed frantically after being pelted with a snowball.
"Yaya, snap out of it. You didn't die. That was for Amu. Now go to the sidelines. We got this." Rima slapped Yaya first then looked at her seriously
Yaya nodded scared of Rima and went over to Kairi. Utau threw a ball over to Kukai. He swiftly dodged and shouted back.
"Can't touch this." Kukai said with a spin
"Wanna bet?" Utau threw another ball aimed at his face and he got out, while doing a spin.
"Dammit. Sorry Ikuto." Kukai made a peace sign over his head walking over to Kairi and sat down watching the game.
"This is for Kukai!" Tadase yelled and the snowball accidentally hit Nadeshiko.
"Oh you did not just do that." Nadeshiko has an evil aura forming around her.
"Yes he did." Ikuto answered for Tadase
"Are you trying to get me killed?!" Tadase whispered.
"Hold on. It'll work. Give it a minute." Ikuto said
Then Nadeshiko ran into the middle of the field running for Tadase to go and kill him. That's when Nagi shot his own sister.
"Nagi...why? I thought we were siblings. How could you?" Nadeshiko said with fake tears streaming down her face.
"Fake. You've been spending too much time with Rima." Nagi said back to Nadeshiko who stopped crying.
Nadeshiko walked to the others at the sidelines. Everyone was cheering for their own sides. Kairi was trying his hardest to not go insane with all the loud noise.
Amu has not been noticed by Ikuto and Tadase. She was now on her way back. Kukai saw her and was about to yell out to Ikuto, but then he remembered the rules. He sunk back down in his seat. Ikuto did see this and saw a flash of pink. He put two and two together.
She already went from her side to ours so now she's...going back to hers to claim victory. Oh I'm not letting that happen.
"Tadase, cover me. I'm going for Amu."
"Wow, I totally forgot her."
Tadase then hit Rima. Utau helped Rima up, since she was so small. She made her way to the others. Amu was almost back, but then there was a shout.
"This was for Nadeshiko and Rima." Utau hollered.
She hit Nagi and he got out.
"Help!" Ikuto shouted
Amu got up and then realized she was tricked when she saw Ikuto's smirk. Utau and Tadase were shooting at each other non-stop. Finally Utau and both Tadase got shot. At the same time. They went to the sidelines, where Amu was no longer there anymore.
"Ahhhhhh!" Amu was running all over the middle of the field to avoid Ikuto at all cost. She just had to get back to her side and this will all be over. Unfortunately, Ikuto has other plans. Amu was running back to her side. She glanced once in a while to see how close Ikuto was. The last time she looked back, he wasn't there. She stopped and went to go see what happened.
She saw Ikuto lying down in on the ground with snow covering him. It looked like he...dived in the snow...on purpose. Amu started digging the snow to bring him up. Once she did she laid his head on her lap.
"Are you OK?"
"I am now." Ikuto said with a smirk.
"Huh?" Amu was confused.
Ikuto picked up his hand and threw the snow at Amu causing her to gasp.
Ikuto jumped up from her lap.
"I win. Boys rule." Ikuto hollered to the other boys who were cheering along as well.
"You...you...you cheated."
"No rule against it babe." Ikuto said with a smirk.
Amu and Ikuto made their way over to Kairi to receive their prizes.
"Here is the coupon for the 2 free hot chocolates, Amu. Here's the coupon for the free dinner, Ikuto. Bye bye." Kairi left with Yaya to someplace else.
"Thanks guys. I had a lot of fun. Want to hang out at my place for a little bit?" Amu offered
Everyone agreed. They left the snow park and went to Amu's house. Kairi left the camera, but no one seemed to notice.
Unknown P.O.V-( during the last part where Ikuto calls for help.)
The bold is the other line after the person called-
What is wrong with this girl. It's like she's trying to get herself killed.
"Sir it seems, the girl has decided to rebel and leave home. What do you want me to do?"
"Do you have photographic and video evidence?"
"Both, sir."
"Well done. Make the copies for me. Make sure you don't get caught."
"Got it. Also it seems like Amu has a close relationship to the boy...I think his name was Ikuto."
"Yes yes. Look more into it. I can doubt she has feelings for him. I took away all of her feelings."
"Ok, sir. I got to go now. I'll report to headquarters."
Normal P.O.V.-
Amu's house-
Today was so much fun. I'm so glad I have them. I don't know what I'd do without them, Amu thought.
"I made hot chocolate for you guys. Here" Amu passed out the mugs. She put up some toppings in bowls for everyone to pick. Some picked the colored marshmallows and chocolate. Yaya took 2 of everything.
"So... I gotta go with Nagi, Tadase, Kairi, and Kukai somewhere." Ikuto said getting off the couch and putting on his leather jacket.
"Where 'ya going?" Rima asked
"Planning some things for Friday." Tadase answered
"Oh, dude sorry, can't go. I have to go...somewhere today." Kukai said thinking about each word he said.
"Me too. Bye guys. Lets go." Utau whispered the last part to Kukai.
"Yeah. Bye."
"Well that was weird. Alright then. Bye girls. Don't go getting arrested."
"Wait. can one of you drop Yaya home?" Yaya asked with the puppy dog eyes.
Ikuto tried to look away, but he couldn't. "Fine."
"Yay. Bye Rima, Amu. Yaya's going now." Yaya said hugging each girl.
Everyone finally left, which left Amu and Rima.
"So..." Amu tried to start up a conversation to get rid of the silence.
"So... you have fun?" Rima said
"Yep. Thanks. Hey wanna go shopping tomorrow? You know, for some girl bonding time." Amu suggested
"Sure. I need an outfit for the Christmas dance anyways. I can help." Rima said getting excited.
"Really? There's a dance? I can't wait. Oh, this is going to be so good. Let's invite the other girls."
"Alright. I gotta go now. My mom has a limo waiting outside for me," Rima said, gathering her things to leave.
Amu walked the short blonde to her limo. She didn't know Rima was rich. Oh well, time to hit the hay.
7/31/14
Edit: 12/10/14
A.N.- Thanks for all the reviews and follows faves. I'm really grateful. Also since a lot of people have voted for choice 1 I might do that story next. I might post the next chapter next week. Anyways R&R. Anyone want to beta the story. Oh and I just checked the story for a quick re-read. So I counted the days as I read and realized I put in 2 more days of the week. So now instead of 7 days in the week there would be 9 days in the week. This is just fiction so pretend today was Thursday and tomorrow is Friday. Remember it's only the first week Amu has come back.
