Amu's POV

"Hey, Kitten," A husky voice whispered in my ear. I supressed a shiver, then blinked once, knowing from the voice exactly who it was. I turned and locked my honey eyes with his Colbat blue ones. I blinked inncoently, and cocked my head to the side.

"Tsukiyomi-san, you shouldn't sneak up on people. I really don't want to file a restraining order on a perverted stalker." I said, frowning up at him. He smirked at me,

"Not even a restraining order can keep me away from you, kitten." I supressed a blush, thinking of how suducivley the word 'kitten' ran off his tongue. I knew he was just trying to make me flustered. And I couldn't let it work on me as Yuki. I couldn't- I wouldn't.

"Tsukiyomi-san," I puffed me cheeks and pouted, "Stop calling me kitten, I do have a name. Hmph." I turned away from his eyes, "And what kind of dumb pick up line is 'Not even a restraining order can keep me away from you'? It's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard!" I pouted a bit more.

"Hmmmm," It was a humming sound; I looked up to see his face directly in front of mine. I knew this would be coming, so I wasn't fazed, but I could hear the mummers from around us growing by the second. I felt a light pink make it's way to my face, but ignored it, and crossed my arms defiantly, not turning away from Ikuto, but staring him straight in the eye. If I turned now or blushed anymore, it would be admitting defeat. Which I would not do. But it was hard to keep staring at him. He smelled so good that I was beginning to become dazed, which I hoped didn't show in my eyes. Why did he have to be so- No! I am not falling for him! I don't even have a c-crush on him. That sounded unconvincing with the stutter, diddn't it.

"Need something?" I asked, as he still was not moving away after a minute or so of staring at me, and me staring back, forcing myself not to blink.

"Yes," He said, then came closer to my ear, "You." I pushed him away, trying to keep my blush in check. But I couldn't- my face was growing hotter by the minute.

"J-Jerk." Damn! I stuttered! I tried to brush off the mistake by glaring at him through my blush. He seemed a bit shocked that I had pushed him away, but quickly covered it up with a smirk. He made that annoying humming sound again, took a step back, and turned on his heel.

"C'mon Yoru," He called as he walked away, and I watched as the teen with raven hair and golden-almost yellow- orbs followed behind Ikuto. Yoru? Who the heck was Yoru? If he hangs out with Ikuto or has ever been seen with him, Rima should have made a card and profile on him. Weird...

"N-ne, Yuki-chan, do you know Tsukiyomi-san," I spun to Nagihiko to see he was looking at me rather sympathetically. Huh?

"Eto... I went to a café and he was working there... that's all, though..." I could hear the guinuine confusion in my voice. Why was he looking at me like that? Like I was some kind of helpless lost puppy. Kukai came over and slung his arm over Nagihiko's shoulder, his eyes scanning me.

"Hm? She's his new target." It wasn't a question, it was obviously a known fact. I blinked at him in confusion, with a complimentary innocent held tint and a finger on my chin.

"Target? Who's?" I asked obliviosly. Who's target? Ikuto's? A target? He had targets?

"He picked a good one," Nagihiko said, ignoring my questions, and giving out a sigh, nod, and heavy frown. He shook Kukai's arm from around me, and then directed his attention towards me.

"As you know, that was Tsukiyomi Ikuto.... Every few days, weeks, or months, he gets a new target. He messes with girls feelings... and he never does a favor without payment for it. And from girl... he only... accepts one kind of payment..." He trailed off and I just stared at him blankly. So? Why did he seem so upset about this? I needed Ikuto to try to mess with my feelings so I could get him to like me. Why was he so sympathetic- Oh. Duh. Any normal girl that is not interested in Tsukiyomi Ikuto (Do girls like that exist?) would be screaming their heads off right now and trying to change schools.

"Oh... What?!" I yelped. Nagihiko seemed to force a smile and pat me on my back, in what I guess he figured was a reassuring way. Acting, ne? I could get used to this. "B-but I don't r-return fav-favors like t-that!" I stuttered, eyes wide. "He n-never helped m-me!" I excused. Nagihiko's smile turned more forced before it disappeared and he sighed lightly.

"If you met him before us, he thinks that it's because of meeting him that you would be aloud to hang out with us. It's... rare for a student to transfer the first Monday after school starts, and even rarer for us to make them-" He glanced at Anna, who was now behind me, a hand on my shoulder, "- an addition to the popular group." He said. I almost laughed. I didn't think he knew how snobby that sounded. But I kept on my confused and worried façade in place.

"B-but I barley even know him. We talked for maybe a m-minute at the c-café, but that's all! H-he never did anything that could m-make me end up with you!" I said, frantically looking for an excuse or a loophole. Or at least pretended to. This is sort of thrilling... the chance of it all... of them finding out and hating me(Which would be bad), or of just putting on this fake mask and acting innocent, new... and not 'Cool and Spicy.'

"He called you 'kitten'." Nagihiko said with a sigh. "He never gives pet names, code names, nicknames... any of it, to someone he's not interested in or to someone who doesn't have to return a favor. And he already found us as the favor to use for an excuse."

"Not that he needs and excuse to get girls in bed..." A voice said lightly, and I looked to my side to see Tadase, looking at the ground regretfully. He looked up from the ground, into my eyes, "Don't you think you should go back to the school you came from before you get hurt?" He seemed concerned.

"I'm not r-running away..." I muttered, looking to the ground, only the stutter I placed in my voice showing that I was the least bit worried or uncertain. I shook my head and repeated the line, "I'm not running away from some... some rude pervert." I said. Looking up I saw that Tadase and Nagihiko were no longer in front of me, but there stood the most popular girl in school, Hoshina Utau, glaring daggers at me.

"What did you just say?! Ikuto is not a pervert, and he's perfectly sweet! And don't you think you can get close to him just because you met him once, you low-life beggar!" She said angrily... oh, was that her brother fettish showing? I was about to say something before inturupted by Anna, who stepped in front of me and glared right back at blonde haired, model-like girl.

"Just because your in love with a pervert- who I might add is your brother-- ew incest,-- You don't have to take the fact that he only paid attention to my cousin and not you, out on her. And you might want to get a personality check, because no one talks to my family like that." She said, then spun, grabbed my arm, and walked away. Once back under the tree we were first at before dragged to the popular group by Yui, I busted out laughing.

"A-Anna! I can't believe you s-said that!" I said in between breaths. She smiled, a gleam in her eyes.

"Us 'new students' gotta stand up for each other," She joked, grinning widley. "Anyway, Yuki, I doubt you would have told her off. She really deserved it," Anna said, then added, "And that brother fettish is just creepy. I have to get rid of it before I barf! Eck!" I laughed at her as she pretended to gag.

"Popular at three o'clock," She whispered after laughing a few times herself. I stood up from the base of the tree trunk, immediatley stopped laughing, and brushed the grass off my skirt. I looked up in time to see the raven haired teen heading our way... what was his name? Oh, yeah, Yoru. Oh... no... what did Ikuto's friend need?? This was not according to plan.

---

Telling off Utau wasn't according to plan, Anna-- scowls. Please tell me if it's okay... I sort of ended it at a bad part, but I have to be out of the door for school right about now, so...

"Press the shiny button!"
