Without further ado, here's Chapter 10!
I do not own Shugo Chara or any of the charaters.
Amu's P.O.V.
"Amu-chan, will you come in here for a second?" my mother asks the 8 year old me from the other room.
I walk to her and look at her, "What is it?"
"We all know how much you liked you're kitten, Aiko, but we have some bad news," my mother looks at me seriously.
"What's wrong with Aiko?"
"Well, you see, Aiko sneaked out of the back door when I was bringing groceries in today, and when he crossed the road, a car hit him. Aiko is no longer with us," my mom frowns.
"No!" I yell and stand up. Everyone's eyes turn to me and stare. It takes me a few seconds to realize where I am.
"Hinamori-san, could you sit back down please?"
A huge blush on my face appears when I notice that I'm still in class, "H-Hai, Sensei," I sit down and start appearing very interested in my notebook so I don't make eye contact with anybody.
I hear a couple giggles, and a few whispers. I try to ignore it and pay attention to the lesson.
Aiko... I definitely remember her! She was my cat that I had when I was younger. She was my best friend, and I played with her all the time. I remember the day she died. I was so depressed.
I sigh and watch the teacher scribbling something on to the chalkboard.
It seems almost as if I didn't have any friends in my homeroom class, because when I walked in and sat down, no one approached me to tell me who they were, and if they were a good friend of mine. Everyone was just whispering and looking at me. It was starting to get on my nerves, so I just glared at everyone who looked at me, which caused a bunch of students whispering, "Cool & Spicy! She's still the same!"
I was surprised at lunch when only Rima came to sit with me. Didn't I have any other friends, too? Apparently not.
"How did homeroom go?" Rima asks me.
"So-so. Everyone was whispering and looking at me. But when the teacher called on me to answer a math question, I actually got it right!" I smile, thinking about Ikuto helping me with that exact question I was asked in class.
Rima smiled back at me, "That's good."
We sat there in silence eating out lunches. Rima asked abruptly, "So, what's going on with you and Ikuto?"
I practically choke on my food, "W-What do you mean?" I look at her, thinking about the kiss and the time we held hands.
Rima just ate her lunch, smiling, "You know what I mean. You guys are friendly. Really friendly."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about," a huge blush forms on my cheeks, "N-Nothing is going on between us!"
"Sure...," Rima says, clearly not convinced.
I just shake my head, blushing harder, and finish my bento.
I somehow make it through my last four classes, barely paying attention. My mind was too preoccupied with Rima's question earlier.
What was going on between Ikuto and I? Did that kiss mean nothing? I'm pretty sure he was kissing back... And when he held hands with me? I have no idea what Ikuto thinks of me. All I know is that Ikuto loves teasing me, and all of this could just be part of his act.
I sigh as I walk through the school gates and turn right to head home.
"How was your day, Amu?" I jump and look up, seeing the one and only Tsukiyomi Ikuto grinning in front of me. He laughs, "Did I scare you?"
I glare at him, "N-No, I was just a little surprised."
He smiles and turns around to start walking. I quickly catch up so we are walking together.
"You never answered me question. I asked how your day was," Ikuto looks at me.
"It was fine. Found out that my only friend is Rima apparently," I roll my eyes.
"And what am I if I'm not your friend?" Ikuto smirks.
I look at him and start blushing. Oh no, did he think I thought we were something more than friends? "O-Oh yeah, you're my friend too...," I look straight ahead, embarrassed to look at him.
Ikuto just chuckles.
Ikuto's P.O.V.
Once Amu and I arrive home, Amu calls, "We're home!" to my parents then heads upstairs.
"Welcome back!" I hear my parents say. I walk into the living room and find them sitting together on the couch, reading something, "Oh, Ikuto, did you hear about the kidnappings?" my mom asks.
I shake my head and walk over to them. Apparently they were reading the newspaper.
"Well, it says here that there's some guy kidnapping kids a couple towns over from ours. Just to be safe, will you accompany Amu on the streets at all times?"
"Sure," I turn and walk out of the room, going up the stairs to my room.
I sit on my bed and look out the window. I recall the night of the accident, how I was so determined to tell Amy how I feel. I close my eyes and rest my head on my hands. She seems just as comfortable with me now as she did back then. Why can't I just tell her how I feel now?
I sigh and lay down on my bed. I know Amu feels something toward me. If she didn't, she wouldn't have kissed me. So why can't I tell her than I love her? Then I can kiss her again...
I get a sudden urge to taste Amu's lips again. They tasted like sugar, and they were addicting. So soft, smooth, warm...
I get off my bed and walk to my door. I have to tell her how I feel.
I speed-walked down the hall to Amu's bedroom and knocked on the door. "Amu?"
Without hearing a reply, I opened the door slowly, only to reveal an empty room.
Oh no.
Amu's P.O.V.
I walk down the sidewalk, still in my school uniform. I didn't care though, I just had to get out of the house and clear my head.
Amu and Ikuto. Ikuto and Amu. What did it mean when our two names were put together? Friendship, or something more?
I sigh. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel something for Ikuto. Whenever he looked at me, I had butterflies, and whenever he touched me, I felt warmth spread through my body. That means something, right?
Even if it did, I still don't know if Ikuto feels the same way about me.
I look at the ground as I walk. My minds all screwed up ever since that kiss. It felt so good, so right. It made me feel like I didn't have a care in the world. I just want to feel like that again.
Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Ikuto?" I turn around and see not Ikuto, but a tall bald man with a shaggy beard and sunglasses on. "W-Who are-" my words are cut off when the man shoves a ball of cloth down my throat. I start coughing as he quickly ties a blindfold around my eyes. I try to scream but it's muffled by the cloth. Then I feel myself getting lifted off the ground and being thrown onto a rug floor. I notice that my hands are tied up, then I hear a slam of a trunk and a roar of an engine as it comes to life. What the hell is going on!
The car starts moving, and I start not being able to breath. Once I start coughing again, everything goes black.
~Chapter End~
