Ikuto: But she does own 'Shimmering Moon'
Tihani: Hehe :D ya.
Amu: -reads the chapter and blushes-
Ikuto: -wraps his arms around amu- MINE!
Amu ran and ran. She dodged low branches in the wood. Her long sleeved shirt got snagged on something, but she didn't care. She didn't even know where she was going. she just had to get away. She ran until she reached the lake. She looked across and saw the campfire and people. She just realized she just ran to the other side of the lake.
She sighed and sat on a rock by the river bank. As a row of tears started to roll down her face, She pulled her knees to her chest and started to hum. It's what she always did
Flash Back Amu 6 years old.
"Amu chan? Why are you crying?" asked Mama
"The..THE kids at school won't play with me!" she said as tears rolled down her face. She placed her hands on both sides and rubbed her eyes.
"Its ok Amu!" Said Mama as she embraced her daughter. Then, Mama started humming a soft melody.
Amu stopped crying. She looked up. "What are you doing mama?" she asked rubbing the last bit of tears off of her face.
"When I was little and I was feeling sad, I would always hum this song." She said.
"Really?" said Amu. She was amazed.
"Really." Said Mama with a smile. "Its called 'Shimmering Moon'"
Amu started to think. "Mama?" she asked.
Mama looked down and smiled. "Yes Amu-chan?"
"If I'm feeling sad, can I hum the song too?" she asked.
"Of course!"
"YAY"
End flash back
She hummed and stared at her relection in the water. She Noticed a small scratch on her right cheek. She sighed and continued humming. She looked at the shimmering moon shinning back at her in the water, her own reflection overlapping the moon so that is was behind her.
The shimmering moon…
Ikuto exited the woods, he couldn't find Amu anywhere. He went back to the campfire hoping she would be there. No such luck. 'Where are you?...'he thought. He walked past the campfire to the bank of the lake. He Stared at the moon in the sky, giving off its light to the dark.
He looked down to the water and saw the shimmering moon's reflection. He looked up and something caught his eye. He saw a pink dot across the lake. It was bobbing back a forth. It's reflection overlapping the moon. His eyes widened. He looked around and spotted a small rowboat tied to an old tree stump next to the bank. He untied the rope and jumped into the boat. He quietly, but quickly began to make his way to the other side of the lake.
He didn't bring his boat directly to her, instead, he parked it a little farther away. He got out of the boat and quietly walked over to her.
He could hear her humming. He liked the melody, it sounded familiar. But right now that didn't matter. He just wanted to talk to her.
He approached closer and closer. But, suddenly she began to sing softly.
"The Only light in the sky
Brings the night to life
With out it we would be blind
So brilliant
And elegant
Something we can't deny
It's the shimmering moon in the sky."
Ikuto's eyes widened. The song. He knew it. His mother would sing it to him as a child.
His eyes softened and he approached her.
She felt the presence of someone and turned around. She was shocked to see him. She stood up abruptly, ready to run, but he grabbed her arm. She didn't look at him.
"Amu I need to talk to you." He said as his grip on her arm tightened as she tried to pull away.
She didn't answer.
"Look at me. Please. Hear me out."
She stopped struggling.
"Please Amu." He begged. "You don't have to talk to me. Just please listen to me. Please look at me"
She slowly turned around. She stared at the ground.
He lifted her chin with his hand so their eyes met. Her eyes shined in the moonlight. Ikuto had to hold himself back.
He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"I…love you" he said.
Amu's eyes widened. She looked down. "Then why were you with that girl?" she asked.
He lifted her face too look at him again. "That girl is Hotori Tadase's new counselor. I have an order to check up on him every once in a while. Unfortunately, Their counselor is a slut and is too easy." He said.
He saw Amu bite her lip. And she began to laugh.
He raised his eyebrows.
She clutched her stomach and laughed.
"You don't believe me?" he asked sadly and looked down.
"Its…Its not that!" she said in between laughs. He looked up.
"You called her…a …slut! Hahahaha!" she laughed. Ikuto smiled. She was back to normal.
Ikuto wrapped his arms around her waste and pulled her close. She stopped laughing and blushed.
"Amu…I love you.." he said as he stared down into her honey glazed eyes.
She stared up into his eyes. She blushed.
"No one could ever compare to you Amu. So don't you ever think that I could like anyone else but you."
Amu didn't know what to do or say. So she did just what anyone else would do when a sexy cat boy would tell you he loves you. She tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Ikuto's eyes widened. But soon started to kiss back. He lifter her off the ground slightly as they kissed.
That night while everyone at the campfire was having fun and games, no one noticed the two figures across the lake shinning together in the shimmering moon light.
