Amu p.o.v
Me and Tadase were on the porch and Ikuto just randomly came outside. "Oh sorry. I was throwing out the trash. I didn't know you guys were here." He said calmly. He made perfect timing. "Sorry Hotori-kun. I should get going. Bye." I said shortly. I grabbed Ikuto's hand and pulled him inside. He shut the door and looked at me. I just hugged him. "Thanks. You saved me." I said. I pulled away and went up stairs.
Kukai p.o.v
Ikuto and Amu came back. Utau and I decided to leave them alone for a while. Me and her hid on the couch. After she ran up stairs, I turned to Utau. "Can you be there for her? I would, but I'm a guy. Let alone her brother. I can't do anything. And Ikuto would only confuse her. Please Utau." I said squeezing her hand. She blushed. "You wouldn't have to tell me twice." She said smiling and running up the stairs.
Utau p.o.v
"Amu?" I asked knocking on her door. "Yes?" She opened the door. Her eyes were red from tears and her jacket was thrown off. "I was just about to change." She said. "Amu, I heard what he said. He isn't worth it. He doesn't get you and a guy who doesn't get you, isn't worth it. He seriously is so stupid." I said sitting on her bed. She smiled "thanks. But how did you hear what he said?" She asked. Oh shit. "I put a mic on you so I could listen to the date." I said averting my eyes. "Utau! You can't do that! But I guess I'll let it slide this time because you helped me out." She said. I sighed in relief. "I'm going to go help my mom with cooking" I said leaving. As soon as I opened Amu's door I saw Kukai and Ikuto there. Kukai pushed his ear up against the door and Ikuto stood there.
I grabbed both of them and went down stairs but Ikuto protested. "I wanna see her" he said going up to her room. I sighed and sat on the couch with Kukai. "He is hopeless." I said. "Yup." Kukai said. "Oh Utau! Kukai! I need you kids to go out for dinner. We have some clients coming to discuss the party tomorrow and we just need the house empty. Please?" Mom asked. "Yeah sure. I'll go tell Ikuto and Amu." I said running up the stairs.
I opened the door to see my best friend sitting on my brothers lap covering his mouth blushing. "Oops, am I interrupting?" I asked slyly. "No! Ikuto here is just being a perverted cat." Amu said standing up. "Well I came to say mom wants us to go out for dinner later." I said leaving.
Amu p.o.v
Ikuto had just came into my room and looked at me. "What?" I asked. "I heard you date." He said sitting on the end on my bed. "Yeah I know, Utau told me. But I guess he was right. I'm not suited for those cute things." I said laughing. Ikuto suddenly got closer. "I thought you looked cute. I'd like to see my Amu-koi wear cute dresses like that for me" he said twisting my hair with his finger. I blushed, I was about to say something when Ikuto came closer and pulling me into his lap. I blushed. "What are you doing?!" I said "oh come on Amu Please?" He asked. I sighed and stopped struggling.
I remembered the iPod. "Hey Ikuto? Why did you give me you iPod?" I asked. "Oh that. I heard your wonderful taste in music so I thought maybe you wanted to listen to music." He said snuggling into my neck. "Ikuto! Stop that!" I said. He looked up at me and his face inched closer. "Remember no pushing away." He said coming even closer. I heard footsteps up the stairs and coming closer to my room. I quickly put my hand over Ikuto's face to see Utau coming in.
She told us about dinner so I got up and was picking out some clothes. I had changed into some sweats after Utau left and before Ikuto came. I opened my closet and picked out a black skirt, a pink sweater with a zipper and a turtle neck. I went through my sock drawer and picked out a black and pink vertically striped pair of socks.
Ikuto watched me pick out clothes intensively. "What?!" I yelled. "Nothing." He said getting off my bed and leaving.
I changed into my clothes but I added 2 white belts and white ankle boots with pink lace. I tied my bangs back with 2 red X clips and grabbed my bag and left.
When I got down stairs Ikuto and Kukai were waiting for Utau. I sat with them on the couch. "Amu what happened to the dress?" Ikuto asked. "We're going out to eat. It's not a date." I said icily. "Awh Amu-chan. I thought we had something" Ikuto said teasing me. I huffed and leaned against Kukai. "What's wrong?" Kukai asked. "I'm just tired." I said sighing.
Utau finally came down wearing some causal clothes. "What was taking you so long?" I asked. "Sorry, I got a call from Nagi about an assignment ." She said. Kukai looked peeved.
We walked outside and decided we were going to walk to dinner. Me and Utau walked side beside and so did Kukai and Ikuto. "Where do you guys want to eat?" Ikuto asked. "Raman!" Kukai and Utau said in unison. "Raman again?" I whinnied. "Amu?! Raman is the best! How could you?!" Kukai yelled. "I had Raman alot this week." I whinnied again. "Okay fine. Let's go to that diner" Ikuto said pointing to some next diner.
We walked in to see Tadase, Kairi and Yaya. As soon as I saw Tadase he looked at me sorrowfully. "Amu? Can I talk to you alone? Please. It's important." He said to me. I looked at Ikuto then back at Tadase. "Umm okay?" I said as I led him outside.
"Amu, I realized that what I said was stupid. I was just worried about you and I was kinda jealous. The rumors about you, Ikuto and Kukai just bothered me. I was being selfish. And about you clothes? I'm so sorry. It's just you attract more guys when you dress like that. It shouldn't matter how you dress. I'm just really sorry." He said looking down. "It's alright!" I said. "Now lets get back" I continued. I was kind of pissed but I decided it would be mean of me not to give people the benefit of the doubt.
We walked back in and ate some food with everyone. After that me, Yaya and Utau went for a walk in the park. The guys were a little far behind. "Did he apologize?" Utau asked. I nodded. "Yeah." I said smiling. "Yaya helped Tadase-kun. He looked really upset so Kairi and Yaya gave him advice!" Yaya squealed. "That's nice" Utau said sighing. We walked until we saw some figure following us. We started to walk a little faster and the figure did the same.
The figure got closer and closer till it cornered us. We saw a man, he wore baggy clothes and looked poor. "Well what pretty girls. Boss would love this" he said. I then stood in front of Utau and Yaya. "What do you want?" I asked confidently. "You." He said coming closer. "Ha. Please. A guy like you has no chance what-so-ever." I said smirking.
He then grabbed me. I kicked him where the sun don't shine. Then we fought. He had punched me in the gut to the ground but I got up doing a spin kick on the ground. He fell the the ground in pain. I got up and dusted off my skirt. I saw Ikuto, Kukai, Kairi and Tadase in the back coming so I faced the girls. But instead of relief there faces filled with horror. I was about to turn around when he smacked my head into the concrete ground. I felt dizzy. All I could hear was Ikuto and Kukai yelling "AMU!".
I quickly regained my strength and did a nice Hinamori kick. I was now standing and smirking while he was on the ground. "Told ya so. You weren't worth my time." I said arrogantly. I knew I was being mean but he started it. Ikuto and Kukai ran towards us. Utau and Yaya hugging me from behind. I smiled. "There was no need to worry." I said smiling. The two girls crying and holding me. Ikuto, Kukai, Kairi and Tadase came to us shocked at what they saw.
"What just happened?" Kukai asked. "Some guy attacked us." I said blankly. We walked away from the scene. Kairi was worried about Yaya so he took her home but just before he turned to me. "Arigato Amu-Dono" he said bowing and walking away with Yaya.
"I should go with them." Tadase said. He turned to me then hugged me. "You were amazing! Thank god you never go hurt." He said squeezing me tighter. I felt a sharp pain in my side. I was so sore. I hadn't fought for a while. He pulled away and said his good byes to us then left.
Kukai was trying to calm Utau while me and Ikuto walked ahead. He was silent this entire time. He looked kind of angry. So I grabbed his hand. He looked shocked but he didn't turn once. He just squeezed my hand.
We got home to see the guests were still there so instead of going in we sat at a near by bench. Utau and I sat down while Ikuto and Kukai just looked at us. "Why are there so many fights going on? I thought this was a safe place." Kukai said to Ikuto and Utau. "It is. Ever since you guys came its gotten worse." Ikuto said. "It's me. I should go with Musashi." I said sighing. "No way! I'm not letting you have a gang war!" Utau said. "Agreed. Amu and Kukai are staying here. I don't care if we are all in more danger. I'm not letting my best friend or Amu go through a gang war." Ikuto said. I looked over and Kukai "fine." I sighed.
We went inside the house and told Aruto and Souko about what had happened. They agreed on our theory and like Utau and Ikuto they protested our idea of leaving.
It was the day of the party. Souko and Aruto had tried to teach us all about the people and how to dance. Ikuto and Utau were out all day doing a recording. So when they came back we started to get ready.
I put on the midnight blue dress and added my own flare. But of course Souko and Utau went crazy on my face and hair. I wore light make up and had a beautiful hair style.
"Amu? I think you should wear heels. You look tiny compared to Ikuto." Utau said handing me black pumps. Souko looked lovely but Utau is the one that looked gorgeous. Kukai was going to flip.
Kukai p.o.v
Me, Ikuto and Aruto waited for the girls to come down. I was getting bored. Then I saw Souko walking down. She looked good. But after, Utau is the one who amazed me.
She walked down wearing a dark purple dress. It was a flared out one like Amu's but it was longer. Her hair was tied into a high pony tail at the top of her head and had a purple flower in it. She looked gorgeous and tonight she was mine.
Ikuto p.o.v
Utau and mom already walked down but Amu was delaying. "Amu! You don't have to be embarrassed! Come on!" Utau screamed. Just then. The most beautiful girl walked down the stairs. I was breathless. Amu looked beyond beautiful. I just couldn't say anything. She shyly walked down the stairs in the most beautiful dress. I just couldn't breathe. I just couldn't.
