Chapter 10

Italics- thoughts

Ikuto POV- Monday morning

The smell of pancakes woke me up. Looking around, I saw that Kukai was already downstairs eating. The evidence? His bed was a complete mess.

I changed into my school uniform and brushed my teeth in 3 minutes and then strolled down the stairs. A big plate of pancakes was in the middle of the dining table, around it on smaller plates was a variety of diced up fruit, sugar, a jar of jam and a tub of ice-cream.

Hmm…Amu's in a good mood. I wondered what happened, and then smirked. Me…that was what happened.

Amu was in the kitchen, washing a pan. Her back facing me. I walk up behind her, and put my hands on her waist."Hey Amu-koi."

Her blush appears. "G-get off me, I'm t-trying to do something here...go eat the pancakes or something, w-while they're still hot."

"I know something else which is hot and it involves mouths…" I pushed her against me. I kept one hand around her waist and the other 'roamed'.

"I-Ikuto! I-I said g-get off me!" her face was still red as a strawberry.

I started lifting her blouse up, slowly. She didn't notice. The only sound I heard was her breathing and the tap.

I reached over and turned the tap, taking the pan away from her and placing it in the sink. Now, I heard the sound of metal scraping on china. Oh great…change of plans, Kukai's still here…

I put my hand under her blouse instead, tracing patterns. She moaned.

I lifted her up onto the bench, her honey coloured eyes were looking straight at me. I placed myself between her legs and her arms wrapped around me again…

"Hey lovebirds, it's time for school, and in case you didn't notice the kitchen's connected to the dining room so I'm getting a full view of this. And it is very disturbing watching this especially in the morning when I'm eating pancakes which has ice-cream melting on top."

I glared at Kukai. "So move then."

He licked his fork clean, placed it onto his plate ignoring me, and went back to our room.

I turned back to Amu, moving my head closer to hers…

BANG!

Arghh! What now?!

"Ah shite!I'm late! I'm late." Oh shut up Daichi, we don't need to hear this again… we hear it 5 times a week!

He ran down the stairs in the act of still putting his socks on and managed to trip 4 times. He grabbed a pancake, slabbed some ice-cream on it and shoved it into his mouth.

"This 'astes ery gwud Amu."

She pushed me away, slid off the bench and sent him a fake smile.

Amu POV- school

We had just finished food tech. and we each had a batch of M&M cookies. Yaya, to our surprise, hadn't even so much as touched her cookies ever since she placed them in a blue gift box. Rima and Miki were walking with us to the next class. That was before we saw them.

Utau was dragging Kukai out to the school garden. Eru was skipping behind them while Ikuto, Nagi, Daichi, Kairi and Yoru tagged along.

Eru saw us and waved to us immediately. "Ohaiyo guys!" she smiled at us.

Nagi walked over to Rima, while Yoru stood as close to Miki as he could. And Ikuto smirked when he saw me, came over and placed his arm around my waist, pushing me closer to him. I had no idea why he was smirking, nor did I want to.

I looked over at Utau, a question in my eyes. She met my eyes and nodded slightly. I mouthed 'good luck' to her. When she asked me how she should confess to Kukai, I had no idea what to say, so I told her to just say what she felt about him.

We started to walk away before Utau called my name. I twirled around, a bit off balance considering that Ikuto had his arms around me. She glanced at Eru, Kairi and Daichi behind her. Eru seemed to catch the exchange between us as she walked over to us, dragging both of the guys with her.

We arrived at our next class. Normally I would be sitting between Eru and Rima, but Nagi swapped with me so I was now sitting behind them, in between Yaya and Kairi and Ikuto was behind me.

I turned to Yaya, about to open my mouth before I saw that she was blushing and staring down at her desk. Her hands fiddling. I never thought I'd see the day when Yaya would blush… I turned to Kairi, about to start another conversation when I saw that he was blushing too. He was also staring, but at a blue box on his desk. It was Yaya's cookie box. Wait… I looked at Yaya, then at Kairi. Then at Yaya again, and back at Kairi. Oh great…I'm surrounded by lovestruck people… first Rima and Nagi, now Yaya and Kairi. I face back to the front. Nagi was slowly reaching for Rima's hand, and she was pretending that she didn't notice.

Ok…I love Nagi and Kairi as my own brothers that I never had... but it's downright unnerving watching them fall in love right in front of me. I sigh and rested my head on my palm.

Yaya passes me a note. I frowned, why would she need to be passing notes, and looked up. Ahh…Nikaido sensei's here.

'Are Rima and Nagihiko…'

' 'dating'?, technically no, but yes, they do like each other'

I passed the note back to her.

'I see… what about you and Ikuto?'

'What about me and Ikuto?'

'*rolls eyes* everyone can see how his looking at you'

I turned around, he was looking at my uh… curves, and smirked straight away when he saw me looking at him.

'What about you and Kairi then?'

She blushes bright red, scribbles something onto the piece of paper and threw it on my desk.

"Yuiki-san, Hinamori-san! Please do not pass notes during class." We both looked up, sensei wore his usual smile.

"Sensei." Yaya said, "We weren't passing notes, we were just 'participating in the discreet exchange of penned meditations'."

He wore a blank look. The rest of us, already used to her weird thinking ignored it.

The door opened. Utau walked in, dragging a stunned Kukai behind her.

"I said it!" Utau runs over and hugs me.

"What did he say?" I ask.

She looks at Kukai. "I still don't believe it…" the stunned Kukai said.

Utau rolled her eyes.

"Well come on…what did he say?" Eru asked excitedly.

"Oh...well...he didn't...he still..."

Eru dragged Kukai out of the room, came back in a few minutes later and pushed Utau out as well, closing the door behind her.

She looks at us all expectantly. "Well are you going to listen?"

All of us girls scrambled to the door.

"It's called eavesdropping…" Kairi muttered. Nikaido sensei was leaning in the wall, looking dejected. Well he should be used to this anyways, the result of having Utau in your class…

I was next to Rima. "At least I'll be able to see them together before I…go." She whispers to me, smiling. I smile back and pressed my ear against the door. Everything was quiet outside.

Ran mouths at Eru, "What are we going to do now?"

Eru's eyes were twinkling madly. "We wait."

I shrug at her. Nothing's wrong with waiting. There was the sound of shuffling footsteps outside, then, again, silence.

I hear Utau gasp. "What was that for?" She's breathing hard.

"He kissed her! Desu!" Suu squealed in delight.

Kukai was breathing hard too. "Gomen, gomen! I shouldn't have…Eru said-"

"Eru?"

We all look at her. She smiles as us.

"She said that I should kiss you and…"

I don't really know what happens next. One minute we were bunched up together, planting our ears to the door. The next, we were all sprawled out onto the hallway.

Ikuto was right next to me in a second, helping me up. Nagi helped Rima, Kairi helped Yaya and you get the point of who helps who.

"Hey girls." Utau raises her eyebrows. Despite that, I notice two bright red spots on her cheeks and a sparkle in her eyes which beat even Eru's.

"Hi." Rima says, rubbing her head while holding on to Nagi for balance.

"Congrats." I smile at them.

"About time Utau-chan."

Utau glares at Eru.

"So…Utau-chan… when's your party going to be?" Eru asks, obviously trying to change the subject.

"What party?" Utau was now hugging Kukai's arm.

"Your birthday party! And this time everyone has to come or else we'll raid their house!" said Eru.

"Oh right! I was thinking that it could be on this Thursday night at my place at 6 and you can leave whenever you want. My parents will be visiting my grandparents then. And you guys can come too." She gestures to the 6 guys.

Thursday night

I walked down the stairs. I wore a sequined low-cut silver tank top which reached my thighs and black ¾ length tights underneath. Ikuto was lounged on the couch, he wore black jeans and a black shirt.

Once again, he smirked at me. "You look sexy Amu-koi. Why don't you sit on my lap and we'll talk about the first thing that 'pops up'?"

"No thank you…" I sat next to him. "Where are Nagi and the rest? I thought it was girls who took longer than guys to get ready."

He moves closer to me… "Nagi and Kairi are outside with Rima waiting for Daichi, as for the others…well I guess that theory is wrong." He reached over for a choc chip biscuit on the table.

In the end we had decided that we would split up to go to Utau's place, since both Nagi and Ikuto already had their driver's license. Me, Kukai and Yoru would go with Ikuto. While Daichi and Kairi would go with Nagi, and they would drive Rima there as well. We would pretend that they had picked us up.

Daichi and Kukai came down. Daichi wore white ¾ trousers with a yellow t-shirt, and Kukai wore a baggy brown trouser with a white collared t-shirt. Kukai went into the kitchen straight away.

"Wow…Amu. You look very nice, you should dress up more." Daichi complemented. I looked at myself. This is called dressed up? Seriously? These are more like my casual clothes… geez this guy needs to go out more and meet girls… "Well…cya at the party!" He left the house and a few minutes later, we heard the sound of tires.

Yoru finally came downstairs then, he was wearing…

Kukai spat out whatever he was drinking in the kitchen. "A tux! You're wearing a tux!"

Ikuto who had been eating while staring at me looked up after hearing Kukai's voice. He choked on the biscuit and started having a coughing fit.

"What's wrong with wearing a tux?" Yoru asked, looking down at it.

"Nothing…" I told him, "Just not to Utau's party…she's not a 'tux' kinda per-"

The doorbell rang.

"Umm…are we expecting anyone?" I ask.

All three of them shake their heads. I walk to the door and slowly open it.

A familiar brown haired man looked at me he was wearing a suit. I looked more closely at him. He smiles at me and my mind clicks. "Tsukasa-san!"

Ikuto: why do you always ruin the mood?!

Kukai: whats sort of mood was that! in a kitchen?!

LBP: please R&R!!! :D
