Well then I feel inspired to update this story even though it is out of order. Things happen. Enjoy! Sorry for the spacing it won't let me modify it well.
Chess Obsessed Blondie
Kukai's POV
I can't believe I have to walk into the store Utau works at part time. It's a boutique for girls only. I'm a guy. Plus with my new hair dew I stand out even more. Amu was already in the store wearing a brown haired wig and a beach hat. I took a deep breath and stormed in.
"Hel—hello," the employee by the door questioned she looked at me with surprise. I sighed loudly causing everyone including Utau to look and see what was going on.
"Sorry I just lost a match against the Vice President of the chess club; he used an underhand trick I swear. Anyway I was dared to go into a boutique for girls and spend about 30 minutes in there so ignore me and go about your business.
"Is your hair dyed, "a girl beside Utau asked.
"Yeah, why do you think it is too much," I asked with an intense glare.
"No I just thought what an odd mix. A chess player and blonde hair, I mean it is not like you are foreign. I'm Tenada who are you," she asked.
"My name is Katsu Ueno do any of you want to play chess against me for fun? I can help you improve your skills," I said with arrogance. This was the skill I had to work on before I could meet Utau. I had to improve my chess skills so Amu actually hired a professional to lecture me on strategies' and the basics.
"You look kind of familiar, have we met before," Utau asked.
"No first time that I have ever seen you, nice to meet you," I said while setting up the chess board.
"Excuse me can someone help me find a changing room," the disguised Amu asked with a delicate voice she should not possess. Just what happened in Russia?
"Tenada can you? I've always wanted to learn how to play chess," Utau asked. Amu grinned, her eyes never visible underneath her long bangs and beach hat.
"I guess so," Tenada sighed, "However, I think he is my type!" Tenada giggled and left with Amu. So people find this type of guy attractive? I guess I'll never understand girls.
Utau sat down cross legged on the floor her white pants had bows at the bottom. Cute was all I could think. She stared at the set-up and fiddled with the pieces. I watched her and waited for her to ask questions.
"So I was wondering if you are any good at this if you could give me any pointers," Utau said.
"I was wondering if you have any skills by the time this is over I could help tutor you. I do it to help my own game of chess you see the basics and foundation are important," I smirked.
"I'll only take it if you are any good, but if you are good I would like to hire you," she smiled back slyly.
"Kukai its okay to let the real you show up once in a while like how I did with Ikuto. Just because we are refraining from letting them know who we really are doesn't mean we can't give hints," Amu lectured after one of my practices.
I smiled softly, "I'm good at any game if I put my best effort into it." Utau stopped fiddling with the knight piece and blushed lightly.
"Well then shall we play," she asked.
Amu's POV
Good Kukai was listening to all my instructions and just going with the flow of things. He seems to be having fun beating Utau. I bought two of the most girly outfits in the store then cutely bent in front of Kukai's face. "Brother it's about time your dare is up," I said as delicately as I could muster.
"Yes let's go Bochan. I need to practice my chess and get back at Ken that dolt. Well I had fun today ladies see ya around," Kukai said still keeping in character. He grabbed my arm and led me out of the store. We stayed in character until we got to the train station.
"You did a really good job Kukai better than I thought you would. So did she take your card with your number," I asked.
"Yes surprisingly everything worked out as you planned it would. Just what happened in Russia Amu," Kukai asked.
"It's a long story I am not willing to go into until we rescue Utau and Ikuto, although they have to do some of the rescuing themselves," I chuckled dryly. I relaxed my head on Kukai's shoulder as we waited for the train to pull into the station. All the stress this plan has put on me is beyond words I cannot fail. If I fail it will be the end of their niceness and Ikuto will fail to escape. I'm lucky that I even got the chance to save Ikuto in the process. My life really has been ruined by those who are controlling Ikuto and Utau. They won't get away from me at all. They are the ones truly trapped.
"Amu don't put too much stress on yourself you know I can handle at least half the things on your list," Kukai lectured while messing up the hair at the top of my head.
"Kukai, can I have you come up with a plan to blackmail the person keeping Ikuto and Utau after we meet him? You don't have to if you can't," I asked politely.
"No problem. Guys in sports teams like me have experience in that sort of thing," Kukai chuckled.
"Thanks and sorry for being so weak," I mumbled.
"Amu all of us become weak under stress you help me all the time so now I can help you. You are anything, but weak."
"You as well Kukai," I grinned.
Utau's POV
"No fair Utau you got his number! I thought I told you that I was interested in him," Tenada complained. I giggled she always went after the guys that were interested in me.
"You didn't play chess against him though, and he loves chess," I said stretching love out.
"Well I would've had you taken care of his little sister. She isn't really as cool as him. I thought if he were to have siblings they would be beauties," she complained.
"How can you tell you didn't even get to see her face? Besides I thought she was beautiful she has a nice aura about her," I said defending the girl.
"Whatever. So just when are you going to call him and invite him over for lessons. I wouldn't waste my time some other girl might snatch him from you," Tenada smirked.
"Yeah and if that did happen I would bet money it was you," I glared.
"What can I say? I like guys with an interesting story," she grinned. I sighed finished cleaning up and left toward home. My cellphone rang as soon as I got off the train.
"Yes," I answered angrily.
"Oh how interesting, my fiancé actually has emotions in her voice. Where is my monotone sweetie," he said patronizingly.
"What do you want? I'm already on my way home you dumpster," I growled.
"That is no way to treat me," he said pretending to be hurt.
"Well that's what you should've been prepared for when you trap a bear in a corner," I said nonchalantly as people passing by tried to listen in.
"Isn't supposed to be a mouse," he chuckled.
"Was I ever a mouse?" Silence. I didn't wait long and clicked off. I opened the gate hopped up the stairs happily and bumped into someone. Crap, please don't let it be that dirtbag I am marrying.
"Utau," Ikuto's voice rang out with uncertainty. I lifted my head up grateful he was holding my shoulders otherwise I would've slipped.
"Well who else would I be," I asked calmly. He smiled.
"Something good happen to you today?"
"Not really," I said walking past him. When my ear was next to his mouth he whispered, "Lair."
Kukai's POV
"This week we will be focusing on career options after high school. For many off you it may be college, but there are many other options out there. I will now have Saaya pass out your goal sheet it is due next week on Wednesday so fill it out carefully after some research," the homeroom teacher said handing the stack of papers to Saaya who pouted.
"I don't mind helping out teacher, it's just that today I'm feeling queasy," Saaya wavered.
"Go to the nurse's room, Ken take over," the teacher said.
"Why is it always me," Ken complained picking up the stack and passing the papers out hastily. Amu received hers first and read the cover with a bored look then paled. I looked over in concern, but I can't really do much being in the back of the classroom.
"Here take it," Ken moaned. I woke out of my trance and read the cover. The cover explained what we were doing by day and time. I didn't see anything suspicious, but they had some pretty cool guest speakers coming in. Can't wait for that! Wow they have a professional athlete trainer! The lunch bell rings.
"Hey so what do you want to do Amu," I grinned.
She pulled out her bento and set it on the table before answering, "I'm thinking about going into communications." My wig was itchy and I scratched my head.
"I don't know it doesn't sound like something Amu would be interested in," I sigh.
"Well it's not definite I still have time to figure it out! I'll be doing some research," Amu's forced smile said she was not going to enjoy this.
"So for Kukai I know its sports, but have you decided on one specifically," she asked.
"Well I can't decide between soccer and baseball," I sighed, "In both sports I've got the best talents for."
"Yeah sounds like you've got a tough decision as well. I hope you find out what it is as well," Amu smiled with her head bent down and pulled a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Guess we should eat," I offer.
"Eh look its Amu eating with Kukai again. I can't believe she hogs him all to herself. She doesn't even have any other friends at school," A group of gossiping girls whispered as they walked past.
"Amu—"
"Ignore them," she interrupted and then went back to eating her lunch.
Amu's POV
"I'm home," I shout just for the feel of it. I lazy kick my shoes off only to pick them up and properly put them away. Ring ring. My cell phone is ringing I wonder if its Ikuto he hasn't called in a while. I look down at the caller ID and smile.
"Hello," I answer.
"Hey Yukino the company I work for is throwing a formal event I was wondering if you would like to go along with me," Ikuto asked.
"Will there be free food," I asked staying in character.
"Why of course," he laughed.
"Then I will go with you," I smiled.
"Okay I'll send you the details through your email. Is that okay with you," he asked.
"Yep then I'll see you there, Ikuto." I turned my computer on and looked at the email. He says he will be wearing a blue tie and that I should try to match. He even sent me a picture of it so I know the tone of the color.
"Good it seems that you are close to one of the targets," a man's voice said. I froze. My back rose with surprise and slowly I turned around. It was him. My face paled.
"Shouldn't you be using the door instead of breaking in," I answered back coldly in Russian.
"So you have not forgotten then language," he said taking note of it.
"Of course I have to understand it to understand scum like you," I spat.
"Newbies are always so spiteful, but their spirit dies in the end and they become exactly like the scum you describe. You too will be no exception," he answered coldly.
"You're right I probably will turn into scum sooner than later," I answered calmly, "but until then I reserve the rights to hate you."
"Have you done as I asked?"
"Yes I have done everything you asked, but if you mean something specific and it is that something I have done that as well."
"Good to hear it wouldn't have been good for you if you had forgotten to create an alias that a girl your height could get away as being her. Tell me the details," he ordered and took off his leather black gloves.
Ah not much words but lots of pages. I feel like I need to describe more, but not what I am describing. Thanks for reading, please review and leave your comment. Hope you enjoyed. Review!
