Recap of chapter 9-

"amu im sorry about what emma said, but it wasn't true." he apologized.

"really." she said surprised, while sitting up to look at him.

"really." he confermed. "i think of you more like a grain of rice." he joked.

"jerk." she muttered.

"im kidding but amu I have something I gotta tell you." he explained.

"what is it?" she asked.

"i love you!" he said while he held her in a tight imbrace.

~ chapter 10 ~

amu looked at ikuto shocked by what he just told her I mean who wouldn't be, she just couldn't believe her ears right now. She couldn't believe that this jerk as she would call him or a pervert just confessed his love to her. This cant be. She thought. This cant be true, he cant, this isn't, this must be some kind of prank. She reasoned with herself.

"im sorry but could you repeat that?" amu asked.

He let amu go but was very close. "your kidding right? It took me a lot of guts to say it the first time and now you want me to say it again?" he asked angrily.

"yeah." amu replyed nervously.

Ikuto sighed and put his hands on her shoulders then began to speak. "alright then, amu hinamori im in love with you-" he began. Amu was about to interupt him but he stoped her with a passionite kiss on the lips. Amu was totally speechless that she could faint. Once ikuto let go of her he began to speak and maybe amu's mind was playing tricks on her but she could have sworn that she saw him blush at least a little, but then again she was trying to concentrate on calming her own heart so she couldn't really tell.

"you don't have to answer me right now but I want to know your feelings for me in a week." he explained or more like demanded, then walked out of the room leaving a very confused amu.

Amu's pov-

I cant believe he just kissed me. What is this feeling? Why did I enjoy it so much when he kissed me? But when he stoped I could still feel his warm soft lips on mine. No this can't be, I wont except it, im not in love with ikuto. She reasoned with herself but it seemed like her heart doesn't want to listen to her mind in this one.

Admit it, your in love with ikuto. A voice in her mind demanded.

No I cant be. Amu shouted back.

Then why are you blushing? The voice asked.

I-I don't know. Amu admitted. Could I really be in love with ikuto? She asked herself.

Yes you are. The voice answered. I can prove it. Answer these questions. It demanded.

When he kissed you- the voice started. Did you not want it to end? Or did you not want him to stop kissing you? The voice asked bluntly.

Y-yes I think. Amu admitted.

Hmm so do you think about him a lot? It asked.

W-well I wouldn't say a lot but I do think about him. Amu admitted. And when I first saw him I admitted that he was good looking. She added.

I see but you admit that you do think about him more than anything else? The voice asked.

Yes except for a couple times when I think about kazu but I think it was cause kazu was going through tough times and I wanted to know if he was okay. She admitted.

I see well based on your answers you are in love with him. \

what no im not. Amu argued.

Yes you are.

Are not. Amu protested.

Are to. The voice replyed.

Are not. Amu disagreed.

Are not. The voice agreed.

Are to. Amu said but covered her mouth right after.

See you just agreed to it. I want you to tell ikuto how you feel for him and don't argue ABOUT IT CAUSE YOU AND I BOTH KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM. The voice said before disapearing. Not even letting amu protest against it.

Hm, shes right. Im in love with ikuto. Amu finally agreed. Hmm but how will I tell him? She asked herself.

Hmm I have an idea. Maybe I could write him a letter to him or something. Or I could just tell him my feelings to his face, which is what he wanted anyways. Ugh but im to scared even though I already know how he feels, ugh I dont know what to do. Hm i'll think of something later.

At school- (sorry for the time skip^.^ haha I love making those little signs but anyways)

amu walked into the classroom to where ikuto was sitting which was right in back of her. She had decided to write him a letter sense she cant really bring herself to tell him straight to his face, but in a letter she could tell him everything that she feels for him. She doesn't know why but it just seems easer that way.

Ikuto was talking to tadase next to him and was laughing as well. Hmm I wonder what he's talking about? She questioned herself. She turned around to give him the letter.

"u-um ikuto?" she asked for his attention nervously.

He turned to her with a slight blush on his face probably remembering the kiss he gave her the other day. "yes." he answered to his name. Oh no he's looking right at me, what do I do? She asked herself. Idiot she called herself and slaped herself mentally. Just calm down amu and give him the damn letter. She told herself. You can do it! She incouraged herself.

"o-oh w-well I-" she stuttered.

"alright class settle down." the teacher demanded. The teacher saw that she had something in her hands so he walked up to her desk and snatched it from her. "whats this?" he asked while holding up the letter.

"a l-letter, what does it look like?" amu asked in her cool and spicy voice.

"well, could it be a love letter?" he asked with a smirk.

"N-no." amu lied.

"oh then perhaps you wouldn't mind if I read it to the whole class?" he asked evily.

"no." amu shouted. If he reads it to the class then i'll be the laughing stock for the rest of the year.

"alright then you read it." he demanded while giving her the letter. Amu just sat there dumb founded.

"im waiting." he said angrily.

She reluctantly stood up and went to the front of the class, but not before giving ikuto a glance who was staring at her every move. Which made her even more nervous, and she blushed before she got to the front of the room but made sure no one saw this.

"ehem." she cleared her voice then began to read the letter. "d-dear ikuto," she began. Ikuto blushed a little but made sure no one saw. Everyone turned to ikuto then looked back at amu as she countinued.

"t-this isn't something that is easy for me to say and I don't know how to say it either, but i'll give it a try anyways. About what you said earlyer, about you being in love with me, well my reply to that would be that-" she paused and gave ikuto an apologetic smile. "i-im sorry but I c-cant return your feelings." she finished. Tears started welling up in her eyes. Ikuto was speechless probably as much as everyone else, but he hid it well. He frowned at that dredful letter in her shaking hands.

Amu ran out of the room crying but who wouldn't after the teacher made you read a letter that was supose to be for one persons eyes only. But amu hadn't noticed that she droped her letter. Ikuto casually walked up and grabed her letter before heading out the door to find amu. No matter how much he wanted to punch a wall or kill someone for this dredful letter he held himself back.

He glanced at the letter, which he doesn't know why but he just had to read it for himself. He gasped at what he read.

Amu's letter-

dear ikuto,

this is really hard to say mostly because i've never felt this way before and I don't know how to you this to your face, but i'll try anyways. Ikuto tsukiyomi im in love with you and probably always will be. Ugh it feels so good to get this off my chest even though its in the form of a letter but still I hope you can forgive me for not wanting to tell this to your face but I just couldn't. I love you and im glad you feel the same way for me, I hope we can be together!

Love,

amu hinamori

damnit. Ikuto said before punching a wall. I know I said he couldn't but he couldn't hold himself back. I cant believe she lied. Did she do that so I wouldn't get imbaresed infront of the class? He asked himself. He gritted his teeth then ran around the whole school to find amu.
