~Amu's P.O.V~

Everything around me stopped. All I felt were Ikuto's lips pressed onto mine. His lips were soft, warm, gentle. My brain turned to mush and I didn't even have the right sense of mind to push him away. My brain was screaming 'Push him away!', but my body did the exact opposite. Instead my eyes drifted close and my arms moved behind Ikuto's neck and wrapped themselves around it.

I heard Tadase grunt in a furious rage and slam the door. I wasn't sure if Ikuto heard it or was just ignoring it because he just kept on kissing me. He tightened his hold around my waist and deepened the kiss. I gathered my senses and pushed him away. I stumbled two steps back and breathed unevenly.

Ikuto just stared back at me with wide eyes. I just stared back with confusion. My heart was beating at an unnatural rate.

"What was that for?" I chocked out, after composing myself a little.

Ikuto just kept staring at me. I walked closer to him and stared at him right in the eyes. He stared straight back at me.

"Didn't you hear me? Why did you kiss me?" I yelled , my body shaking.

Ikuto shook his head like he was trying to get out of some sort of trance and sighed. "I did it so Tadase would leave, and apparently it worked." He said, turning away from me.

"I could've handled the whole situation by myself!" I knew that that was just was a complete lie, but my brain still couldn't get over that fact that Ikuto kissed me just so Tadase could leave.

Ikuto turned his head in a quick motion and looked at me angrily. "You could've handled it? You cant be serious! Amu, he grabbed you and was to hurting you! He forced you to kiss him! Who knows what would've had happened to you if I didn't come down to see what was going on!"

I knew what he was saying was right. Who knows what would've happened if Ikuto didn't come down. I stared down at the floor and felt a tear roll down my cheek. I couldn't hold it anymore. I let all my tear come out and turn into one big sob. Ikuto wrapped his arms around me and hugged me.

"No! Let go of me! Let go of me!" I yelled, the sound muffled from Ikuto's shirt.

Ikuto just hugged me tighter. I stopped my useless struggles and cried on his shirt.

"You idiot! Stupid Ikuto! Stupid, stupid, stupid Ikuto!" I said, banging my fist into his chest. My tears ceasing to come down.

Ikuto put his hands on my shoulder and leaned down to my level and looked at me with confusion written all over his face. "What did I do?"

"You lied and said that you were my boyfriend! Now Tadase thinks were dating and is probably going to tell everyone!" I yelled, blush rushing up to my cheeks.

Ikuto chuckled. "That's the whole point."

"What do you mean the whole point? I don't get it."

"If Tadase sees that your 'dating' me, then he'll probably leave you alone. It's simple"

"It's not simple! That means that we'll have to pretend that we're dating! Do you know how stupid that is!" I yelled, shrugging his hands off my shoulders.

For a brief instance, I thought I saw a hint of sadness and disappointment flash in Ikuto's eyes. But as soon as I thought I saw something, it vanished.

"That hurt Amu. You're trying to say that dating me is stupid?" Ikuto teased, feigning hurt.

"That's exactly what I'm saying!" I sighed, and stomped up the stairs and stormed in my room. I plopped on my bed and grabbed a pillow and screamed into it.

Why did this have to happen? Why me? Why do I have to pretend to date my best friend. The thought of me dating him caused me to think of the kiss. The memory of the kiss caused me to blush and scream again. The major question that kept going through my head was why did I enjoy that damn kiss? I shouldn't have liked it. I should be mad and never forgive Ikuto.

I felt a slight movement on my bed and took the pillow I was holding form over my face. Ikuto was laying next on the bed and just stared at me. When he was looking at me, I remembered on thing that he said when Tadase was here. Ikuto said that he loved me. Was that I lie or the truth?

"Hey, Ikuto"

"Hmm, what is it?'

"When you said that you loved me…were you lying about that too?"

~Ikuto's P.O.V~

Her asking me that question caught me off guard. How could I tell her how I felt about her now? She would just believe that I was lying again jus to make Tadase leave. She would never believe me. I would be like that boy who cried wolf.

"You know what, forget I even asked. It was a stupid question anyway," She said and put the pillow back on her face. "Aren't you suppose to go home now?" She muttered.

"Why would I have to go home?" I questioned, and then removed the pillow form her face.

"Because you haven't been home yet, and I'm pretty sure that your sister Utau is worried about you."

Crap. I forgot all about Utau! I pulled out my cell phone from my pants pocket and saw that I had 5 calls for Utau. I sighed and got up from the bed and threw the pillow back at Amu.

"Remember, we have school tomorrow, so we have to pretend like we're dating. Ok?" I said and smirked.

"I hate you!" She yelled and threw the pillow at me.

"Love you too." I said and saw that she started to blush.

I exited her house and started to walk home. Me pretending to date Amu would be pretty fun. And we might actually get to kiss again.


I was already at the front gate of the school waiting for Amu. I was tired because Utau nagged on and on about how worried she was because I didn't come home. I told her I was with Amu, and she dropped the subject. My sister has a brother complex, meaning that she loves me more than a sister should. But she's been getting better, considering she has a little crush on a boy named Kukai.

I yawned and stretched. I laid my head against the cement wall and closed my eyes.

"What are you doing here so early?" A voice asked me.

I opened my eyes to see Amu looking at me.

"Nothing much. Just waiting for you, sweetheart." I said, smirking.

"Can you shut up?" Amu whispered angrily, her eyebrow twitching.

"What? I can't call you sweetheart? How about honey?"

"I'm leaving!" Amu said, turning around and started to stomp toward the school. I walked up beside here and put my arm around her shoulder.

"What are you doing?" She asked, glaring at me. I put my face toward her ear.

"Tadase is right in front of us. Remember, you and me are pretending to date so Tadase wont threaten you anymore?" I said. The anger almost threatened to show through my voice at remembering the thought of how Tadase treated Amu yesterday.

Amu just nodded. To make everything more believable, she laid her head on my shoulder. As soon as we got closer to Tadase, I kissed Amu on her forehead so he could see. Tadase glared at me with Saaya clinging onto him. But Saaya sent a flirtatious look toward me, grinning.
