Hey guys! i'm sorry it takes me forever to update. Like i said in my last chap. i get too much hw and it's kinda hard for me to update, but i'll try my best!
so like usual, i don't own Shugo Chara! or any of the characters. All rights reserved to Peach-Pit.
so on with the story!
The birds were chirping as the sunlight reached into Amu's room shining upon her eyes. Amu slowly opened her eyes and smiled. Another new day. Let's make it the best! She thought. Amu sat up and stretched her arms out.
Amu got up and strolled into the bathroom. The sound of the bathtub echoed in the bathroom. Amu hummed one of her favorite songs, a violin piece Ikuto used to play (I remember Ikuto playing this piece in episode 100 when Ikuto was in Paris with Tsukasa.) The music gave her a sad but warm feeling. Amu turned the water off and got out. After a couple minutes she was wearing a white hoodie with black sleeves and a blue jeans skirt. She had red and white striped socks that went to mid thigh. Overall, she thought she looked cute. She put on her side bag and left. The pinkette walked towards Ikuto's room.
Knock knock !
"Ikuto!" Amu yelled to the door. The door opened slightly but she didn't see Ikuto at the door. Amu pushed the door and walked in, closing the door behind her. And all of the sudden, she found herself pinned to the door. Her eyes widened. "Ikuto! Wear a shirt!" She started blushing and looked away.
Ikuto smirked as he leaned forward toward Amu. He kissed her head and then her lips. Amu couldn't stop blushing.
"Good morning, Amu- koi." Ikuto said with his deep, sexy voice.
"G-g-good m-morning, Ikuto." Amu stuttered, still looking away.
"Hm? Don't you mean Ikuto-koi?" Ikuto smirked while playing with a lock of his girlfriend's hair.
"Let go of me you pervert!" Amu shouted as she tried pushing Ikuto away.
"Shh! Don't yell, you know I have sensitive ears like you. And beside my mom's taking a shower. If she heard screaming she'll come out." Ikuto sighed.
He let go of Amy and sat down on the bed. Amu didn't even realize that Ikuto's mother wasn't in the room or the sound of the shower in the bathroom. She walked over and sat on the bed next to Ikuto, putting her head on his arm. They sat there in silence for a while. Ikuto looked down at Amu and smiled. His most precious treasure. The pinkette slowly looked up and saw Ikuto smiling at her. She gave him a cute smile back and before she knew it he was kissing her. At first the kiss was a nice and sweet one but then Ikuto deepened it. He placed his hands on her soft, blushing cheeks and kissed her. Ikuto broke the kiss when he heard the bathroom door unlocking. He quickly picked up his white shirt that was on the bed and wore it.
Souko walked out wearing a beautiful black dress. Her blonde hair was a little dark in color because it was wet. She smiled when she saw Amu.
"Good morning, Amu-chan."
"Good morning, okaa-san." Amu walked over and hugged her. Ikuto's mom gently kissed Amu's forehead.
"Okay Ikuto. I am going to leave now and will be back by 5:30. So Amu what are you wearing tonight?"
"Wearing tonight?" Amu titled her head to the right innocently.
"Didn't Ikuto tell you? The concert. The orchestra Ikuto is part of will be playing tonight."
"Ikuto didn't tell me that." Amu turned and looked at Ikuto.
"Oh, I see. He should've told you last night; must have slipped his mind." Souko gave a mischievous smile to Ikuto as if she knew what the love birds were doing last night. Amu was clueless as Ikuto stood there expressionless like usual. "Okay so i'll head out. Amu get ready by 6 because the concert starts at 7:30. Ikuto will leave early for rehearsals so we will be going together." She wore a pearl necklace that was on the dressing table.
"Okay!" Amu said as she watched Ikuto's mother walk out the door. "So were you going to tell me that there was a concert tonight anytime soon."
"I was but-" Ikuto was cut-off when his phone rang. "Hello?... Yes, I remember...Okay… Hm... Okay, bye." Ikuto shoved his phone back into his pocket. "Dress rehearsals are at 2 so we should go buy you a dress."
"It's okay. I think I have a black dres-" Ikuto stopped Amu by kissing her.
"Let's go." Ikuto picked up the card to their room and while holding hands they walked out. It was a bright sunny day and the time read 11 AM.
They walked toward the cafe where the last time a man told her Ikuto came here.
"Uh Ikuto. I don't think cafes sell dresses." Amu said as she followed Ikuto inside.
"I know. I just want some cake."
Amu sweatdropped.
"Hello. What would you like sir?" asked the waiter.
"Slice of chocolate cake and-" Ikuto looked at Amu.
"Umm. I'll take a slice chocolate and strawberry cake. Thank you." The waiter nodded and left.
"Uhh Ikuto, we have should hurry. You have to go to rehearsals soon and dress shopping usually takes a while."
"There's a store next door that sells dresses. Why don't you head there and I'll get out cakes packed."
Amu smiled and they both got up. Amu walked out the cafe and Ikuto walked towards the counter.
"Sorry, would you pack our cakes instead. Thank you." The waiter smiled and went to go pack the cakes. The waiter came back with a bag.
"Here you go sir. That'll be 10 euros." (I don't know that actual prices of cakes in Paris...)
Ikuto took out his wallet and gave the man a 10 euro bill. The waitor handed Ikuto a receipt when his wallet fell from his grip.
Ikuto was about to pick up the wallet but some man next to him called out, "I got it."
The man picked up Ikuto's wallet and the picture that fell along with it. The stranger turned the photo around and his eyes widened. He looked at Ikuto then the picture and then back to Ikuto.
"Are you, by any chance, Aruto's son?" Ikuto was shocked. How does this man know father?
"Yes, but how do you know my father?" Ikuto asked still in shock.
The man motioned Ikuto to sit down at a table for two. The man introduced himself as Natsume, or Natsume-san for Ikuto.
"Aruto is my good friend and my roommate, too. At least 10 years ago I found him sitting on a bench late at night with wounds and bruises everywhere. I carried him to my apartment and he told me about himself. He always mentioned about you, his daughter Utau, and Souko-san. I never thought I would actually find you here."
Eventually, the two men got into a deep conversation.
"As far as I remember, father abandoned my family and me. Soon, mom was in the hospital and..." Ikuto continued on about his memories. "Is father still living with you." Ikuto asked as eyes reflected sadness and desperation.
The man smiled and nodded. They exchanged phone numbers.
"Call me when you want to see Aruto."
"Sure and don't tell father that we met or anything." Natsume-san smiled and left.
Ikuto sat at the table looking out the window; his chin in his palm. I finally found you father...I finally found you...
"What took you so long?" Amu was pissed. Her hands were placed on her hips as she looked at Ikuto furiously. She waited for Ikuto for at least 45 minutes in the sun.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ikuto said as he placed his hands up in defense. "I was caught up in something important."
"Something more important than your girlfriend standing out in the sun for like an hour?"
"Actually, 45 minutes." Ikuto corrected. When he saw his girlfriend's eyes narrow and heard a growl, he stepped back. "I found some information on father, that's why it took me a while." Ikuto confessed.
Amu's face slowly calmed down. She smiled and hugged Ikuto. "That's great, Ikuto!"
"I thought you were mad at me." Ikuto teased.
Amu let go of him. "I am. However, I'll let you pass because you were finding stuff about your father. Don't make me wait next time." There it was, her 'cool-and-spicy' character. Ikuto smiled and looked at the time in his phone. It read 1 PM.
Ikuto walked Amu to her room. Amu placed the bag with her new dress on the bed. Ikuto sat down on the little table and took out their cakes and two forks. They ate their cakes and Ikuto left for rehearsals.
After the concert...
Amu wandered around looking for Souko and Ikuto. Grr! If only I paid attention. She turned around for any sight of midnight blue or blonde hair. She couldn't find anything in the big crowd. Then she caught a glimpse of blue hair. Amu smiled as she ran in that direction.
"Thank goodness I found you." Amu said as she hugged what seemed as Ikuto's arm.
The man with the blue hair looked at Amu with a confused look. The pinkette quickly let go of the man and bowed down. "I'm sorry. I mistaken you for someone." She quickly ran out of the man's sight. Then she stopped. That man had midnight blue hair, just like Ikuto's, except the style was different. He was tall and had blue eyes. Aruto-san? Amu turned around expecting who might be Aruto-san to be there. To her dismay, he wasn't. Shit!
"Amu!" She turned in the direction where she heard someone call her name. It was Ikuto standing by a black car. She walked in her boyfriend's direction and hugged him tightly.
"Ikuto. I think...I...saw your father." Amu muffled through Ikuto's suit.
Ikuto pulled Amu apart. "What do you mean?"
"I accidentally mistaken you for someone else, and that person was Aruto-san. I think." Amu said as she looked at Ikuto with sad eyes.
Ikuto's eyes widened. So he came to see me perform. Ikuto thought.
"Come on. We have to get home." Ikuto opened the door for Amu and he slid in right after her. Ikuto sneakily glided his hand into Amu's and squeezed it gently.
Ikuto gazed outside at the street lights and people walking.
I'm coming to see you father. Tomorrow. I'm coming to get you...no matter what...
Soo? how was it? :DD i'm sorry if there's a lot of typos. there's a party in my house and it's kinda hard to concentrate. so just let me know about my mistakes. i thought in this chap i should add a little about ikuto's father. so yeah
