(Amu's POV)
We arrived downstairs and I saw Nagihiko, Ikuto, Aruto, Kukai, Tadase, Rima, Yaya, Ami, and my mom. 'Wait… Ami and my mom?!' "W-what are you doing here, Ami? Mom?" My mom pushed her glasses up and sighed, "I'm just here because Ami wanted to see you," Then she handed Ikuto a piece of paper, "And because Ikuto has to pay for my door he broke down."
"Oh.." I said quietly, "What?" She started, " You were expecting something else?" She asked and I shook my head. Aruto cleared his throat and we all looked at him, "Midori, can I talk to you outside for a minute?" She stood up and they left, leaving me alone with my friends. "So… would you like to say anything Amu?" Asked Utau, everyone looked at me. I started sweating, "Um…" I looked down, "I'm sorry," I mumbled quietly. Kukai put his hand to his ear, "I'm sorry, what was that?"
I looked up, "I'm sorry okay, I'm so… so sorry." Kukai crossed his arms and smiled, "That's better." Everyone else was smiling (even Ikuto) but Rima, so I looked at her, but she looked away. I walked up to Rima and put my hands on her shoulders. "Rima?" She still didn't look at me, "Rima, I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was thinking, I understand if you won't forgive me…" She looked at me like she was going to cry, then she hugged me, "I'm sorry I yelled at you," She said.
"You have nothing to apologize about Rima; I was being a jerk, to you all and myself." I saw a flash of light and looked at my other friends and Ami. Tadase took a picture of me and Rima hugging and the others were standing next to him, smiling. Aruto and my mom came into the room and she said, "Amu, we need to talk privately."
I looked at my friends who looked worried, but Aruto smiled and mouthed the word "Go" I nodded and followed my mom outside. She shut the door softly behind her and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Amu-" She started but I cut in, "I'm so sorry mama, and I'm sorry about dad, I really am." To my surprise, she smiled. "A-are you okay mom?" I asked, prepared for a slap, I flinched when I thought she was going to slap me, but she just fixed her hair. She saw me flinch, "Oh Amu… Look what I've made you think of me… I'm a horrible mother aren't I…"
"N-no ma!" I said quickly, she smiled a bit.
"No Amu, don't lie. I've been a terrible mother for the past couple days, and no words can say how sorry I am…" I hugged her with a smile plastered on my face. She hugged back. She pulled away and said, "Amu, I just noticed this, your hair…it's short… and black?"
"Oh yeah… Sorry mama… it will grow out." She hugged me again,
"No Hun, you're fine." We pulled away again and she said, "I have an idea, why don't you sing at dad's funeral Sunday?" It's been forever since I sang something in public, I smiled, "It would be an honor." We hugged once more. We didn't hear the door open but we did see a flash of light. We turned around and saw Ami holding a camera.
We went inside and my mom and I made breakfast for everyone. We made bacon, eggs, French toast, waffles, and pancakes. The dining table was long, and can sit up to 12 people, so we had 1 seat left. Yaya started right away, but that wasn't a surprise. She saw me looking at her, and with her mouth full of eggs and bacon she said, "I'm so glad you're okay!" I nodded and started eating my food. I sat in between Rima and Ikuto, and Nagihiko sat across from Rima and Utau sat across from me.
Rima never looked up, she kept her eyes on her food. I looked at Utau; she finally understood that Rima liked Nagi a lot, so she started smiling like crazy. Then I looked at Ikuto who was looking at the two of us, then he smirked and said so only I can hear, "You two have some matchmaking to do." I smiled at him and started eating my breakfast again.
We all finished eating and I felt like the fattest person in the world, I held on to my belly and let out a moan of satisfaction. At the moment it was only me, Kukai, and Ikuto at the table, the rest were helping my mom clean. The two turned to face me and they raised their eyebrows at the same time. "My goodness Amu, save it for the bedroom," Said Ikuto, I blushed and Kukai laughed. I hit his arm and said, "You are so perverted! Is that what you do for a living now?!"
"Hahaha no," He said sarcastically "I play my violin at concerts and make a lot of money out of it, I am pretty popular in Europe."
'Wow, first is Europe, what's next?' Then I remembered something that made me sad, so I looked at my feet. I felt the aura in the room changed. The boys got worried and Kukai came over to see if I was okay. I looked at Kukai and asked him if he could leave me and Ikuto alone for a little bit, he nodded and went into the kitchen to help the others.
I turned towards Ikuto; he had a worried look on his face. "Ikuto… Since you're such a famous violinist and all… won't you have to leave again?" He sighed and rested his elbow on the table, "Amu, if I ever do leave, I will come back for you like I always do. And I promise that if I leave anytime soon, I will call you often and I will be back a lot sooner." I sighed in relief and he smirked. He hugged me and whispered in my ear, "I'm so glad you care about me…"
I blushed just a little bit and hugged back. That's when I felt a weird sensation on my ear, a weird sensation that I haven't felt it in years. When I finally realized Ikuto was biting my ear, I jumped up and screamed, "PERVERT!" He chuckled and everyone ran into the dining room to see what all the commotion was about. Tadase said, "What is it Amu, did he touch you inappropriately? Because if he did I swear I will cut off his p-"
I cut in, "He bit my ear!"
There were a few giggles going on in the room. I looked at my mom and Aruto and they both had their arms crossed, and they were smiling. I grunted in defeat and casually walked out of the house. I guess no one really noticed me leave.
The warm sun hit my skin and gave me shivers, not the kind you get when you're cold. I walked to the backyard to look at the garden Utau made a couple years ago. Her apple tree was growing little by little, and I smiled at that, I know it will be the most beautiful apple tree ever. I walked over to the vegetables, the tomatoes she planted were growing very nicely, and so were her green onions. I walked to the flowers, and there were rows and rows of them. Utau just recently put a bench by them so I sat on it. I closed my eyes and relaxed, the world melted away.
I had no idea how long I was there, so I thought it would be best to go in before everyone got worried. Before I sat up, I saw a coin at my feet; I smiled and said, "See a coin, pick it up." I bent down and grabbed it, and as I did that, I heard a noise above me, then I heard someone swear and run off. I stood up and turned around, I didn't see anything- 'Wait! What's this?' Something shiny was floating above the bench, I reached out and touched it, and then I jerked away.
It was a very thin wire.
'Who would do such a thing?!'
I heard a lot of footsteps behind me, so I turned around and saw everyone but my mom and Aruto. Yaya came running towards me, "Amu-chi?! What happened?! You're so pale! Like you saw a ghost!" I pointed at the wire and everyone but Ikuto looked at me questionably, "What are you pointing at?" Asked Rima. Ikuto walked towards the bench and held the wire carefully in his hand, "Do you see it now? Someone's out for Amu." The wire was attached to a tree nearby and the house, so Ikuto went to untie it.
My mom and Aruto came running towards us. "What's going on here?!" Aruto demanded, he looked at each one of us and his eyes stopped at Ikuto who was now untying the wire. He pointed at him and said, "What is he doing?!" I gulped, No matter how much I wanted to say it, I just couldn't. Nagihiko said it for me. "Someone tried to kill Amu with a wire…" My mom gasped loudly and I ran and hugged her. She started petting my hair and was crying, "I don't want anyone to hurt you.." She whispered. Ikuto came up from behind and said, "As long as she is with someone, she can't get hurt, so we can't leave her out of our sight until we catch this killer." Everyone nodded.
We all went back into the house and I sat on the couch and turned on the t.v. The first thing that came on was the news, and I immediately changed the channel, 'I've had enough bad news for one day.' A random Spanish soap opera was on so out of curiosity, I switched to it.
(A/N: I have no idea how to speak Spanish, so just pretend they're speaking it)
'I thought you loved me!'
'I never loved you! I just used you!'
'Get out of my sight you ungrateful whore!'
'Fine!'
I sat there with my head tilted, trying my best to understand what they were saying by their actions. Utau sat next to me and said, "Amu?...why are you watching a Spanish soap opera?"
"I…I don't know…" I responded, Utau laughed and I turned the T.V off.
"Amu, let's forget about what just happened outside, wait! No! I meant to say that when you're with one of your friends, just enjoy your time." I looked to her and nodded, then she smiled wickedly and rubbed her hand together as she said, "Now let's go set Rima and Nagi up!" I smiled and stood up with her.
(Nagihiko's POV)
The adults were having a private meeting in the kitchen about Amu. I went into the living room where I saw Utau and Amu grinning wickedly at me, "What?" I asked. They just giggled.
"Where's Rima?" Asked Amu with her hands behind her back, "Um… I don't know? Maybe with the others in the other living room?"
Utau took my left arm and Amu took my right, then they started walking towards the other living room. "W-what are you guys doing?!" I asked, they didn't respond, they just smiled at each other. Utau kicked the door open with her foot and everyone inside turned and looked at us. Utau looked at Amu and nodded at her and she nodded back. Amu let go of my arm and went inside the living room, "Let's go Nagi," Utau whispered, then she started dragging me somewhere else. Before the door closed to the living room, I heard Amu say, "Oh Riiimmmaaa!" 'What are they planning?!"
"UTAU!" I shouted, she didn't respond, and this girl's grasp was impossible to get out of! Before I knew it, she threw me in one of the guest rooms. "STAY!" She commanded before shutting the door. I looked around the room; it had a queen size bed, a dresser, and a large window. I walked to it and tried to open it, but it was locked. I grunted and lay down on the bed.
(Rima's POV)
I saw Nagi being dragged off by Utau. 'If she touches him inappropriately I will-' "Oh Riiimmmaaa!" Amu called, Tadase stood up and walked to Amu, "Amu, are you okay? You don't seem like what happened outside didn't affect you.." Tadase really shouldn't have said that, Amu looked at the ground and her smile she had on when she came in was gone. "Amu… I'm so sorry… I shouldn't have said anything…" Everyone in the room was silent. I stood up and successfully pushed Tadase out of the way while saying, "Move Tadagay!" He turned and looked at me with a sad expression on his face. I ignored it and looked at Amu, who was still looking at the ground.
"Amu, don't listen to him, what did you want to tell me?" In an instant, her head was up and she was smiling. She took my hand and said, "Come with me," and we sprinted out the room. She did most of the running because since she was going so fast, I was flying. We came to a door where I saw Utau in front of it with her arms crossed. She looked at me with a mischievous smile on her face. Before I knew it, Utau opened the door and Amu pushed me in, then she slammed the door and locked it from the outside. I turned to the door and started pounding on it, while using my colorful language on them. I heard giggles and footsteps retreating down the hall.
I kept on swearing, then I felt a presence behind me. "You have a very colorful language young lady!" I slowly turned around and saw Nagihiko while his arms crossed. I blush crept on my face. The room was brightly lit thanks to the sun.
"Na-nagihiko?! What are y-you doing h-here?!" I asked, and he shrugged.
"Do you have a hair pin?" He asked, I got back to my senses and nodded. I took it out and handed it to him, he thanked me and went to the door.
About 5 minutes later, I heard a snap and Nagihiko cuss. I was sitting on the bed now, coming up with creative ideas on how to kill Utau and Amu. Nagihiko sat next to me and I blushed. "I guess we're stuck in here until they let us out… so mind telling me what you're thinking?" I smiled at him, "Oh, just thinking of some creative ways to kill those two!" He laughed and said he was thinking the same thing. We sat there for a few more minutes just sharing our ideas on how to get back at them.
My hands were on my lap, then I rested it on the bed. Nagihiko didn't notice this and he rested his hand on top of mine by accident. We were silent in an instant, and then we jerked away from each other. Nagihiko got up and started saying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm pretty sure you hate me now! I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean it!" He kept this up for a minute, so I got up and walked up to him. He's a lot taller than me, so I had to stretch my hand out all the way, just to put my finger to his lips. He started blushing. I removed my hand and placed it back to my side and blushed.
"I-I'm sorry.. I don't know what got over me…" I said, he started smiling,
"It's fine." I blushed some more, 'How can he be so calm about that?!'
"You know," he started, gazing into my eyes, "You are even cuter when you blush." My whole face was red and I gulped, and he chuckled. He bent down and placed his hand on my cheeks and slowly moved forward. His lips softly brushed over mine, and he pulled back a bit.
"I'm so sorry Rima…" He said, I got out of my daze and looked at his red face. I smiled, I pulled him back down and kissed him. He didn't respond right away because he was a bit shocked, but after a while he did. We closed our eyes and continued kissing.
(Tadase's POV)
'I'm sure Amu hates me now… this is just great.' I was walking around the house, trying to figure out a way to apologize to her, when I passed a door and heard strange noises. I thought of the worst, so I kicked the door open, then I blushed. Rima and Nagihiko, were making out. The two looked at me like they wanted to kill me, so I backed out of the room slowly and ran down the hall. Then I ran into Amu. We both fell to the floor and she yelled, "OW! SON OF A-"
"No need to finish your sentence," I said, getting up and offered her my hand. She looked at it like I was holding someone's guts, then she got up herself. "Look Amu, I'm so sorry-" She held up her hand then dusted off her shorts. I smiled and said, "If it makes you feel any better, I saw Rima and Nagi making out not so long ago.." Her eyes lit up and she yelled, "Utau! Get the camera!" In an instant, Utau was right at her side holding a camera, then they ran to the room Rima and Nagi were just in.
Once they were out of my sight, I sighed and continued walking down the hall. I came across the backdoor so I went outside and walked to where Amu was almost killed. I stood there, looking at the bench, when I heard a "Hey!" behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Saaya pointing a revolver at me, she had this crazy look in her eyes too. I held my hands up, "S-saaya? What are you doing with that thing?" She started laughing evilly.
After she finished with her evil laugh she said, "Tadase, take this gun, go inside, and kill Amu for me."
I stared at her in shock, "Hell no!" I shouted, she turned the gun to the side. "If you don't," She started, "I'll kill your grandma, and if you still don't do what I say, I'll kill your other friends too." I started crying, "You wouldn't.."
"Oh really?" She said as she tilted her head, "I'm the one who almost killed Amu today!" I choked on my own words, then she threw her gun next to my feet and she started leaving. Before she left she said, "Oh, and I will kill you and everyone else if you tell anyone about this." Then she was gone. I stared at the gun next to my feet; tears started falling from my eyes. Then I picked up the gun, and walked inside the house.
Ninjakat: Finally finished! *Wipes sweat off of forehead*
Tadase: *Stares at me in shock* WWHHHAAATT?!
Ninjakat: Sorry Tadagay
Tadase: *Points gun at Ninjakat* Change this chapter now!
Ninjakat: *Taps chin* Ummm… NO! R&R *Disappears in puff of smoke*
Oh goodness! I just thought of something great I can put in the story! It made me laugh so hard when I was washing the dishes! This will be at the funeral scene! :D
