Ikuto's POV
When I woke up I saw Utau angrily holding a bucket and Amu soaked and wet. Suddenly Utau froze and her face filled with guilt.
"I'm sorry Amu! I didn't know it was you! I thought it was some girl and I thought I was protecting you... sorry." Utau looked at the floor, ashamed. Amu laughed and Utau lifted her head and her face filled with hope.
"It's okay, I'm glad to know you'd do such a thing! I'm gonna take a shower now." Amu cheerfully smiled and skipped to the bathroom. Boy she was in a good mood.
"Wow, Amu is really happy. What did you two do last night?" Utau asked smirking. I turned so she wouldn't see me blush, which NEVER happens!
"Ha yeah right, she is still a minor and the... others still have three weeks." I hid a stutter and growl in that sentence.
"Well don't worry, Amu doesn't love anyone BUT you." Utau flashed a genuine smile. I felt a wave of relief and laid down, waiting for my strawberry to come out of the shower.
Amu finally came out of the bathroom, and when she did I grabbed my towel and headed for my own shower.
I also whispered in Amu's ear," You know you could've just came out in a towel." I said this very seductively and I could have sworn I saw Amu swoon.
Utau eyed me suspiciously but went back to helping Amu deiced what to wear. I came out of the shower wet and steamy; a towel was hanging around my waist. I thought Amu would find it sexy and I could call her a pervert; but I looked at Amu to find her wearing VERY tight Jean shorts and a tight red tank top with a microphone on it. I was thinking about taking her by the waist and kissing her right then and there, but I noticed her give me a side glance and trip over some blankets. I quickly got dressed.
I laughed as she fell but in the end I caught her, spun her around and dipped her on the other side of me. Even though I was holding her, she fell out of my arms, still shocked.
"Since when can you dance... like that?" Amu gasped, out of breath.
"I learned in Spain." I slyly said but realized it was the wrong thing to say. Amu did not enjoy being reminded of my absence for 5 years.
"Well can I have this dance?" I changed the subject. Amu snorted a laugh and I jokingly frowned.
"Amu doesn't think she can handle this?" Amu's face reddened with anger and she jumped up and grabbed my hands.
"Oh I know how to dance." She said it with such attitude, it was sexy.
I plugged in my iPod and started to dance. Amu's hips moved exactly in since with mine and we paraded from the living room to the kitchen. However we didn't here Utau leave and someone come in.
"Hey... Ikuto." Kukai said shyly.
Amu and I froze with our hands linked and in dancing position.
"K-k-Kukai... great to see ya." Amu tried to sound casual but she sounded irritated.
"Kukai what's wrong?" Amu said looking at his shameful expression.
"I-I am dropping out of the running for your heart. I never r-really loved you. I loved Utau but I heard she had a boyfriend; however she doesn't now."
"How can you propose to someone you don't love? How can you come in here and just say it as if it can't hurt a person?" I yelled, defending Amu.
"Ikuto, she was going to pick you. I knew it all along and I am so thankful that you came back in time to take care of her." Kukai teared up a bit but he left the house without another word.
"I guess, huh Amu?" I stared into the distance and Amu tapped on his shoulder. I turned around to an angry Amu.
"What did he say to you? How can he have such asshole confidence to come in here and say I don't love you and I never wanted to propose to you." Amu growled while mimicking Kukai.
I chucked and realized it was almost four-thirty.
"You hungry, Amu?" She was about to answer but her stomach growled, answering for her.
"What do ya want?" I sighed and washed his hands looking very professional.
"Chicken! Any kind!" Amu grinned like a child and went to watch TV as I cooked.
After a while, I had made chicken stir-fry. Amu grabbed the plates and drinks.
"Here Ikuto!" Amu handed him a glass and I laughed as ruffled her hair.
There was little conversation because we were both eating at fast paces.
"Ikuto, I was thinking we should. Go to the beach with some friends. By the way I wanna play on the Wii after we eat!" I tried to comprehend this because she said it so fast.
"You're right, we should do both." Amu lit up like a ball of sunshine and ran over to hug me, could hardly breathe now.
We played several games on the Wii and while it was my turn to do whatever, I noticed Amu had collapsed on the couch. Checking my watch I was shocked to find it was an hour till midnight. I picked up Amu into his arms and carried her bridal style to her room. As I was leaving Amu woke up.
"Ikuto, don't go again. I don't want to miss you and go through all the pain I did before. I only want you and I wish you'd say the same." She was crying now and curled up.
I couldn't handle her like this so I lifted her chin and kissed her. I fell asleep on the floor next to her bed.
Amu's POV
"Wakey wakey, Amu! We have to leave, like now!" Yaya jumped onto my bed and squished my face with her hands. I heard a chorus of chuckles around me and I looked up. Ikuto, Rima, Nagi, Yaya, Kairi, Kukai, and Utau stood around me; all smirking at my terrified face.
Well too bad, fun's over. It was their turn to be scared. I put on my angriest face," Why would you wake me early in the morning? Do you want to die a painful death? Or shall I kill you all now?" Everyone rushed out of the room, some screaming. I lied down for a while and then confronted them.
All of their teeth were gritted but not because they were angry; because they were too scared to say anything.
"Now why did you disturb me?" Ikuto stepped forward.
"You wanted to go to the beach with your friends so I planned this last night. And don't worry, the girls already packed your clothes." Rima, Yaya, and Utau smiled sinisterly and I knew that their style was not what I had in mind.
I was going to protest but Nagihiko grabbed my hand and pulled me to the car. I saw Ikuto tense up and follow, or stomp to, us. I fell asleep in the car and when I was awakened, we'd reached our destination. I yawned and rolled over looking at the sky. Except I wasn't looking at the sky, I was staring right into the eyes of Ikuto; and under me, his lap.
