Amu's P.O.V.
I woke up, feeling very energetic and bold. I jumped out of bed and got dressed, then headed to the door.
I walked down the hall and knocked on Ikuto's door, "Come in," he said. I walked in and saw a slight surprised expression on his face. Yeah, I never really come to his room...
"Oh, well, good morning beautiful," he smirked and stood up, walking toward me.
I refused to get embarrassed, "Let's go to the park," I smiled. He looked a bit taken aback that I was asking him, but he soon recovered.
"Of course, my little Amu," he grabbed my hand and led me out the door, causing me to blush.
As we walked down the sidewalk, he looked at me, smirking like always, "So, Amu, what's the occasion?"
I looked at him and smiled, "It's the least I can do. You saved my life, so I'm taking you out!" I blush a little at my own words. I hope he doesn't think to hard about what I just said.
"Ah, I see," he grins and links arms with me. This isn't so bad. It's nicer than holding hands because then he wouldn't notice my sweaty palms.
Once we arrive at the park, I run toward the fountain, not waiting up for Ikuto, who catches up with me just fine. I take my wallet out of my pocket and pick out some change. I think about what I want to wish for. My memories probably. I would wish for my family back, but that's impossible. There's actually a possibility that I will regain my memory.
I take the change and toss it into the fountain, wishing I could have my memory back.
"Amu-chan, take your sister to the fountain and show her how to wish for something," my mother smiled at me as I lead the 3 year old Ami to the fountain.
"Ami, you see that fountain? It can grant you a wish!"
Ami smiled at me, "A wish?"
I nodded and handed her some change, "All you have to do is toss the coin into the fountain and make your wish, and it will come true!"
Ami beamed and looked at the fountain. She threw the coin in, "I wish I could be like Onee-chan when I'm older," Ami smiled.
I gasped but tried to keep myself from making a pained expression. I didn't want Ikuto to notice, but he did anyway.
"What's wrong, Amu?" he looked at me, concern in his eyes.
"I-It's nothing, I swear," I shake my head and look at the fountain. This doesn't convince Ikuto, but he drops it.
"So, what did you wish for, Amu? To be closer to me, perhaps?" Ikuto smirks. I can tell he's trying to cheer me up, but it doesn't work.
I just look at him, a half-hearted smile on my face, "It's a secret. If you tell someone what you wish for, it won't come true," I think about my little sister's wish. She never got to be like me cause she didn't get that much older.
She told me her wish, and it didn't come true.
Ikuto's P.O.V.
Amu was acting strangely when she went to the fountain. She seemed upset about something. I tried to cheer her up by teasing her, but she didn't even seem to pay attention to my comment.
However, she seemed to have cheered up now. She was running through the park, happy to be getting some fresh air. I sit on a park bench and watch her, smiling.
Amu ran back over to me, "Let's get some ice cream," she smiles, and my heartbeat quickens.
"Ok, but I didn't bring my wallet," I smile.
"I wasn't planning on you buying anyway," she took out her wallet, "I owe you, after all."
I smiled and she ran off to buy the ice cream, when she returned, she only had one cone in hand. Did she plan on us sharing it? I looked at her. What is going on with her today? First, she asked me out, then she's acting really friendly, now she is thinking we share an ice cream? My heartbeat quickens once again and I smirk at her.
She frowns, "Sorry, I only had enough money for one, but you can have it," she smiles and hands the chocolate ice cream cone to me.
Ah, I see. Well, we should share it anyway, "Let's share," I smirk at her, causing her to turn bright red.
"Um, o-okay..." She blushes.
I am surprised she said yes! She is acting differently! But who am I to complain? I've wanted this from the very beginning. I let her take the first lick, then my tongue touches the same place Amu licked.
"Hey! Thats not what I thought you meant about sharing! I get a side and you get a side," she blushes and crosses her arms.
I chuckle, "But it tastes even better after you licked it, Amu." She flushes again and turns the other way, "Okay, okay, fine," I give in.
After we finish the ice cream, Amu jumps up from the bench, "Come on, let's go run around," she smiles.
"Now?" I groan.
"It's to burn off the calories we just ate, of course," she sticks out her tongue at me.
I smirk at her, "You sure are acting differently today,"
Amu's face turns red, "N-No I'm not.. I-I'm just trying to make you have fun because I owe you," she looked at me, "So let's go!" she turns around and runs away, "Come catch me, Ikuto!"
I smile. She is really something. I jump up and chase after her. As I get closer to her, I hear her giggling. So cute..
I catch up to her and tag her shoulder, "Got you," She smiles, but the momentum of running and stopping so quickly causes her to fall over. Before tipping over, she grabs my hand so I fall down with her.
She lays down on the ground looking up at me, blushing furiously, while I am practically laying on top of her, my hands are the only thing keeping me from falling onto her.
I stare into her beautiful, golden eyes, mesmerized. She had grabbed my hand and pulled me down with her. What is with this behavior? Is she flirting with me?
I study her facial features, looking from one place to the next, until my eyes finally rest on her lips. Those beautiful, soft lips. I can't help myself. I start to lean toward her. Amu closes her eyes, basically accepting what I'm about to do. I lean in close to her so I feel her warm breath on my cheek. I'm about to press my lips to hers when...
RING RING RING RING!
Dammit.
I pull away before our lips meet. Amu's eyes flutter open, surprised and a little frustrated maybe?
RING RING RING RING!
I sit up and pull my cell phone out of my pocket. I flip it open, "Hello?"
"Oh Ikuto-san! It's Yamabuki Saaya! How are you? Oh, I wanted to ask you something! Are you free today?" She is talking so loudly, I'm positive Amu can hear her. I glance at her and see her glaring at me. Was Amu jealous?
"Oh, yeah hi. Um, I'm a little busy right now." Great. The moment is ruined.
"Aw, that's too bad! Sorry if I'm interrupting anything!," she giggles, "Well, another time, definitely! Um, is it okay if I just call you Ikuto?"
"Um, I'd prefer you don't."
"Alrighty then," she giggles again, "I'll call you later, Ikuto-san!" she hangs up.
I blink and flip my phone shut. I look back at Amu who has her face turned away from me.
No.. That moment, that beautiful, sensual moment is gone.
I lean in toward her again, hoping she would forget about it and just let me kiss her, but she pushes me away, "Get off of me, Ikuto."
I stare at her, shocked. Get off of me, Ikuto. I blink a couple of times and try to describe the pain in my chest.
I slowly lean back and sit up.
That damn Saaya girl! I hate her! Why does she have to come in and ruin everything! That's the first time she's called me, but by the way she was talking, it sounded as if we have been calling each other all the time. That must be what Amu is thinking, "Amu, it's not what it seems," I start, but stop when Amu stands up, looking down at me.
"Let's go home," she says coldly, clearly trying to mask the hurt in her voice. I feel like my heart has just been stabbed. Amu was all happy, and now I have made her sad. I can only do what she asks.
I nod and stand up as well, leading her out of the park and down the street.

I stare up at the ceiling as I lay on my bed, my hands resting behind my head. My mind has still been thinking about the events that occurred earlier.
After we arrived home, Amu turned to me, a half-hearted smile on her face, "It was fun," then turned around and headed up the stairs.
I stare at the ceiling. I was sad, but now I'm angry. Angry at myself for making Amu upset.
Amu was acting differently today. She was acting closer, today. She was acting like we were actually on a date and we were actually a couple. It's what I've always wanted, but of course it had to be ruined by that damn girl! I should have not picked up. It wouldn't make the mood the same, but at least Amu wouldn't be sad.
I have feelings for Amu, and I'm pretty sure Amu has feelings for me, but it's more complicated than that. She doesn't always allow me to lean that close to her, and one of the times she did, the moment was ruined.
It had to be then.
I sigh and roll on my side. Amu, please forgive me.
Amu's P.O.V.
I bury my face in my pillows.
I admit it. I am jealous. I am jealous of Saaya, and I suspected that she liked Ikuto from the moment she hugged him.
I was jealous, so I thought I would get Ikuto to kiss me to make sure that he didn't have feelings for that witch. To think that I felt sorry for her when we were locked up together. I crinkle my nose in disgust.
I was jealous when Ikuto gave her his number. He gave her his number like it was nothing! I kick the air furiously.
I wanted to make sure Saaya knew that I have feelings for Ikuto, and she could not interfere. So, I basically asked Ikuto out, who gladly said yes. I knew I was acting differently. I guess when I noticed that someone else liked Ikuto, I realized my true feelings for him.
I was acting differently because I felt happy to be with Ikuto. All my cares had gone away, and he was going to kiss me, but when that phone started to ring, all my cares returned.
Why can't anything go right for me!
First I loose my family, then I loose my memory, then I get kidnapped, and now this girl was trying to ruin my happiness with Ikuto?
I screamed into the pillow which thankfully muffled the sound.
All the anger I bottled up about my family, my memories, being kidnapped, Saaya, and Ikuto was all coming out at once.
Why? Why is all this bad stuff happening to me?
~Chapter End~
:( Awww... Poor Amu.. Dx
Well that was a dramatic chapter, don't you think? I hate Saaya. Always getting in the middle of things and sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Arg...
Anyways, what did you guys think? The chapter was sweet until that evil witch called. Every time I say witch, I want to say it with a B, but.. you know. *Shrugs*
Well, please review and tell me what you think! I surprisingly wrote this chapter extremely fast so I'll probably be able to fit another one in before I go on my vacation, but no promises! XD Please R&R! :D
Thanks!
