Ai: So, not as many reviews…I guess I asked for too much huh?
Ikuto: Ya think. *imitates Ai* Please, please, review! I'll love you forever if you do!
Ai: I do NOT sound like that!
Amu: Well…
Ai: You agree with him Amu! I thought you were on my side!
Amu: Sorry Ai-chan, but you kinda do sound like that…
Ai: You guys are so mean! *runs out of room*
Amu: Oh great. Now who's gonna write the story!
Ikuto: I will! I'll make sure that there are TONS of Amuto moments now. *grins evilly*
Amu: *looks at Ikuto then the door* Ai-chan! Please come back Ai-chan! SAVE ME! *runs out of room to find Ai*
Ikuto: *looks around* Oh, well. Ai-chan already wrote the chapter. She just didn't type it yet, so I'll type it for her, with my changes. *smirks*
Random Voice: Ai-chan DOES NOT own Shugo Chara! Though she wishes she does!
Ikuto: Thanks random voice! Now it's time to type!
~ A Love That Can Never Be ~
My life has finally become an actual living hell. Well, only my school life now that Saaya has become a student-teacher for my class. Also, it's not just my first period class. She's practically following me through school now! My school life was seriously a living hell for me. Actually, not all of it was a living hell for me. Hanging with my friends helped me forget about Saaya. So, I guess I could - nah, I can't live through this.
It has been about 2 weeks since Saaya became a student-teacher at my school and the teacher said it was about time she started teaching us. So, of course, she said yes.
"So, class," she said walking up to her desk and resting her hands on it, "you guys have been reading the famous Shakespeare play, 'Romeo and Juliet' right?"
The whole class replied, "HAI!"
"Well, I think it's about time for a project on it!" she said flashing a fake smile to everyone.
The class groaned in disappointment.
"Hey! What's with that response! It'll be a fun project and fairly easy to do. All you have to do is reenact a scene in the play."
The class sighed out in relief.
Suddenly a hand went up.
Saaya looked over and said, "Yes, what do you need Aya?"
"Yamabuki Sensei, will we have partners for this project?"
"Well, of course! If you didn't, how would you reenact a scene in the play with only one person!"
"Well Sensei, I was just checking," she said pushing her glasses further up her nose.
"Well, yes. We will have partners for this project. You will work in a pair of two and I'll be picking who your partner is."
"AWWW!" the class groaned out.
"Not only that, but I will also choose what scene you will be reenacting," she said pulling out a piece of paper. It probably had the names of the partners and scenes.
"So, now I will call out the partners and scenes. Once you hear your name, get together with your partner and begin discussing how you will reenact your scene. We will start performing in one week. So, obviously, you have one week to practice your play. Your lines MUST be memorized. Oh, and we are performing in order. So, if you have the 4th scene you will be the fourth pair to act out the part. I will now call out the names," she said.
I groaned inside. I hated doing projects. Hopefully my partner will be someone I know.
"Yuiki Yaya, you are partnered with -"
Me, me, me!
"-Sanjo Kairi."
I sighed out in disappointment. Well, I could be partnered together with Rima.
"Mashiro Rima, you are partnered with -"
'Please be me!' I prayed.
"- Fujisaki Nagihiko."
NOOO! I slammed my head on my desk and kept my head down.
"Tsukiyomi Amu," Saaya began.
I instantly looked up. Saaya looked straight into my eyes and glared murderously into my eyes.
"Tsukiyomi Amu, you are partnered with -"
Please not someone I don't know!
"-Souma Kukai."
I suddenly looked around the classroom till my eyes rested on the brown spiked up haired person. Kukai was in my class this whole time? Suddenly, Kukai wasn't just a row of desks away, but right in front of me.
"Yo Tsukiyomi! So, we're partners huh? What a coincidence!"
"Oh, hey Kukai-kun, yeah, I guess we are partners," I said smiling at him. Thank god I was partnered up with someone I knew.
"Don't call me Kukai-kun. Just drop the '-kun' and call me Kukai," he said putting his hands in her pockets.
"Oh, okay Kukai."
"That's a lot better. Hey so, I'll go get the scene we're doing. Be right back," he said heading towards Saaya.
Knowing that we were going to have to take notes and such, I took out a notebook, a pencil, and our 'Romeo and Juliet' book.
When I got everything out Kukai had come back and sat down in the desk in front of me, sitting so that he was facing me.
"So, what scene did we get?" I asked him.
He handed me the slip of paper.
"No way," I said, "We have this part!"
"Uh, yeah," he said slightly blushing.
"She gave us the last scene!"
"Yeah, she did. I tried to change it with her, but she didn't let me," he said scratching the back of his head.
I looked up and found Saaya's eyes on me with a devious smirk on her face.
She had done this on purpose.
Romeo and Juliet is a very popular play, but for those who don't know, the last scene is a tragic yet romantic scene. It's the scene where Romeo finds out that his beloved Juliet has died, when she really wasn't dead and just faking it, and kills himself with poison. Then when Romeo has died, Juliet wakes up to find her Romeo dead. Thinking that she could never live without him, she kisses him but then takes his dagger and stabs herself. In the end, they both died for each other.
Saaya had done this on purpose. Not just so that she could see me 'pretend' to kill myself, but to kiss another guy. She had a plan up her sleeve, but what sort of plan. There were too many things she could do. All I could do was practice the play with Kukai and find a way to avoid her plan.
"So, Tsukiyomi, where are we going to practice," he said looking through the book.
"Uhh, I guess we could practice at my house," I told him realizing we only had 2 more minutes till class was out.
"Okay, what time can I come over today?" he asked.
"How about 4 o'clockish?" I asked.
"Yeah, that's good. So, I'll see you at your place at 4 o'clock," he said, "Oh, and I need your address."
"Oh yeah," I said. I quickly ripped out a piece of paper and wrote down my address and gave it to him.
"See ya later Tsukiyomi."
"Yeah, see you later," I said getting up to head to lunch.
~ A Love That Can Never Be~
"So, you got Nagihiko huh Rima-tan," Yaya said sticking a french fry in her mouth.
"Yeah, what about it," she replied.
I looked at her and said, "Well, rumor has it that you like him."
Her face blushed slightly, but went neutral as she looked up at me and said, "Like hell that would happen. Who would like a cross-dresser like him?"
"Yeah, sure," I said to her taking a sip of my coke.
She just turned her head and harrumphed.
I smirked. Rima was so easy to read.
Suddenly, Yaya draped her arm around my neck.
"So Amu-chi, I see that you got Kukai," she said giving me 'the look.'
"Yeah, I did," I said to her not knowing where this was going.
"Well, I also heard that you have 'that' scene," she said picking up another french fry and waving it around before she put it in her mouth.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It's just a silly scene," I told her.
"Don't say that Amu-chi. It's not just a scene but, the scene."
Then Rima turned around and piped in, "Yeah, you have to kiss."
I blushed at this.
"It's just a small peck. It won't hurt a fly," I said acting cool.
"Yeah, just a peck, with, like, the star soccer play who happens to also be their captain. Not only that, but he is the #1 hottest person at school," Yaya said, "You're gonna die from all his fan girls."
I sighed out loud. "I doubt that's gonna happen. The only people who know we're doing that scene are everyone in our class. No one else will know."
"Uhh, Amu, actually, the whole school knows…" Rima said slowly.
The information processed in my head slowly. Then it clicked. Saaya didn't pair me up with Kukai and make me do that scene to see me kill myself and kiss him, but to set the whole female population of the school against me. My life would be mayhem if that happened. I didn't know how big of a problem this was until it hit me straight in the face.
Seeing that I was quiet, Rima said, "Amu, its okay. It's not like all his fan girls will kill you."
"Yeah, you're right Rima-tan. I doubt that they'll do that to Amu-chi," Yaya said smiling.
"Yeah," I said, "I'll be fine. I mean what's the worse they can do."
"Well, let's get going," Rima said getting up from the table.
"Okay!" Yaya said jumping off her seat, "Come one Amu-chi."
I got up from my seat and walked with them to the trash can to dispose of our trash and headed for the cafeteria doors.
I never really knew that news would circulate so fast, but as soon as I stepped out of the cafeteria I was splashed with water.
~ A Love That Can Never Be ~
I didn't know what to do. I was soaking wet and still had another half of the school day left. I had no extra clothes and soon, because of the water, my clothes became see through.
"Amu-chi, are you okay!" Yaya cried out.
"Of course she's not okay Yaya! She's all wet!" Rima yelled out.
They both started to huddle close to me and help dry me, but I pushed them away.
I looked up through my now soaking hair to fine the criminal who had done this to me. When I finally spotted the giggling girls that were holding a dripping bucket of water, I walked over to them.
When I got closer their giggling stopped and a girl, probably their leader, stepped up in front of me.
"So Tsukiyomi Amu, how does it feel to be soaked," she said placing her hand on her hip.
I recognized the girl to be Hana Yamasaki, a girl from my math class.
"Well, it does feel nice since it's so hot today," I said to her.
"Don't act all smart-assed with me," Hana said flipping her hair.
"Oh, I'm not being a smart-ass at all Hana. You asked me how it felt and I answered it. Now if you'll excuse me, but I've got to go dry up now," I said turning away, "Oh, and thanks for the soak."
I began walking away and towards Rima and Yaya when Hana ran up and pushed me hard on my back, making me fall to the ground.
"AMU-CHI!" Yaya cried out, "Hana-chan stop this right now."
"Like hell I will!" she cried, "This bitch stole Kukai from us and now she thinks she can be a smart-ass with me!"
Not having any affect with her words I got up and turned towards her.
I started walking up to her and she kept backing up until her back hit the wall.
I looked her in the eye and said, "You know, usually I don't resort to violence to solve my problems. But, this time I just might."
"I'm not afraid of bitches like you!" she said.
"Well, I'm glad you're not afraid of bitches, but sadly, I'm not one of them."
I took my hand and swung it across her face. Everyone was quiet. Hana opened her eyes to find that I had not slapped her, but rested my hand above her cheek.
"W-why didn't you hit me?" she said to me.
"Well, I'm not the type of person that goes hitting people or dumping water on them just because I'm jealous or mad at them," I said taking my hand off her cheek and heading towards Rima and Yaya, "Let's go guys. I need a change of clothes."
As I walked off I heard murmurs in the crowd of people and things like, 'Wow, Tsukiyomi is so cool!' and 'Maybe she's not that bad at all."
I smiled at this and headed to the nurses office to get a change of clothes with Rima and Yaya at my side.
~ A Love That Can Never Be ~
It was 3:45 and Kukai was going to be here any minute. I slowly got out of my bed and headed downstairs to get the table and snacks ready.
As I put the 2 liter bottle of Coke on the table I heard the door bell ring.
"COMING!" I yelled out wiping my hands with the cloth.
I walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hey Tsukiyomi," Kukai said giving me his 100-watt smile.
"Hey Kukai, glad you could make it," I said, "Come in."
I moved out of the way so that he could come in.
"So, anybody home?" he asked me.
"No, everyone's out right now. Utau was home earlier, but had to go for her concert right before you came, Souko-san had to go grocery shopping, and Ikuto and Aruto-san are working," I said showing him to the kitchen.
"I see. So, it's just us," he said.
"Yeah," I said walking into the kitchen.
"Whoa! Big kitchen you have here!" he said looking around, "Oh and you have Hot Cheetos! My favorite!"
"Really? Utau loves Hot Cheetos too," I said taking a seat at the table and opening the bag.
He took a seat and took a piece out of the bag, plopping it into his mouth. He turned to me and asked, "Hey, this 'Utau' do you mean the Utau as in Hoshina Utau?"
"Yep, the one and only," I said turning on the laptop.
"Wow. So, you're sisters with Hoshina Utau," he said eating more chips.
"Well, not actual sister. I'm adopted," I told him, "My parents died when I was young."
"Oh, I'm sorry. God, I didn't mean to bring up anything bad," he said scratching the back of his head.
"Aw, it's ok Kukai. I don't mind talking about it," I said.
He sighed in relief. "Thank god," he said, "I didn't want to make you upset or anything."
"Nah, I'm fine."
"So, since you were adopted, you must have a different last name right?" he asked me.
"Yeah. It's Hinamori. My name before was Hinamori Amu," I told him opening Google Chrome.
"Hinamori Amu," he said testing the name out, "I like it. I'm calling you Hinamori from now on."
"No, don't do that!" I said teasingly.
"Aw, come on, it sounds good. Whaddya say Hinamori?" he said giving me the puppy face.
I laughed at this and said, "Fine. You can call me Hinamori." Then getting back on topic I asked him, "So, we should start practicing huh?"
"Yeah," he said, "That would be best."
I took my book that was lying on the table and opened it to the correct page.
"I'll start off first," I said and we began to practice.
~ A Love That Can Never Be ~
After going over the play several times, 10 times to be exact, we decided it was finally time to act it out.
"What's here? A cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end" O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on the, to make die with a restorative," I recited.
It was now time to kiss him. I slowly lowered myself to his lips and pecked him quickly, but suddenly Kukai opened his eyes and kissed me back harder. I tried to push against him, but lost as he wrapped his arms around me.
Suddenly there was a clash of things hitting the ground and Kukai let me go only to see Ikuto standing at the doorway.
Ikuto saw me kissing Kukai…
~ A Love That Can Never Be ~
Ikuto: ... * gets up and drags Ai and Amu into the room*
Ai: OW! Ikuto! You pulled my hair!
Ikuto: What's the meaning of this! You have MY Amu kiss Kukai!
Amu: WHAT! I KISS KUKAI!
Ai: *gets up and brushes the dust off her dress* Actually, Kukai kisses you. Not the other way around.
Ikuto: How could you do that! AMU LOVES ME!
Amu: Excuse me, but the last time I read her chapters, you loved me too.
Ikuto: That doesn't matter right now, all that matters is that this was NOT Amuto! This was Kukamu!
Ai: *sighs* This is what you get for insulting me. Besides, if I don't do this, your love for Amu won't grow. I had to do this.
Ikuto: *tears up* I HATE YOU! *runs out of room*
Ai: *shrugs* Oh well. *faces readers* I know that this chapter had no Amuto moments, but please review and read this. I really tried to make this chapter longer and I know you want more Amuto, but I had to get the story running. So, I hope you didn't mind, but I promise you that there WILL be more Amuto coming soon. I hope to see you all in the next chapter. REVIEW! *runs out to find Ikuto*
Amu: Well, I better go follow them, like what Ai-chan said, please, please, please review and like what she ALWAYS says…
JA NE!
