Recap

He stared at me, his eyes burning into mine, and whispered, "I love you…" and kissed me again.

I blinked, shutting my eyes and my brow furrowed even more.

Ikuto..please..stop saying that…stop kissing me…stop it! Stop staring at me with those eyes…stop saying that with those eyes!

If you do…I might…I might…

I might give in to you.

Chapter 13: Unexpected Comeback

I snapped out of it once I heard a knock on the door. "Ikuto? Amu? Are you in there?" It was Rima.

I gasped and I pushed him away, my cheeks increasing temperature each second. Ikuto blinked, but even though it seemed he'd snapped out of it also, his breath was still shallow and his eyes were still wild.

"W-we have to go home!" I cried, trying not to sound affected in any way by his kisses. I grabbed his hand and felt his hand wrap around mine, causing me to blush as we walked out.

Rima raised her eyebrow. "So you're revived? How…exactly?" She stared at me, and I had a feeling she already knew what I did.

To my surprise, her mouth turned into a smile. "Anyways, Ikuto, you won."
My eyes widened and Ikuto smirked, turning to me. "How's that?"

I blushed. "UGH!" I yelled stubbornly, and we walked off to home, my heart still beating like crazy.

What he didn't know was that I wasn't entirely focused on the fact that he won. There was a question that was strong in my mind, and that I was dying, yet afraid to answer.

How did his kisses make me feel so…so…..good?!

Home

Without a word I set down my bag and immediately started going to my room.

"Amu-"

I shut the door.

I sighed and rubbed my temples as I slid down the door. This was so confusing!

Why did I feel sort of pleased when he kissed me!? Why?!

I sighed and slapped my forehead. Don't think so quickly, Amu, don't. That would just make this worse.

I frowned and collapsed into my bed, cuddling into my pink sheets and stared at the ceiling.

I did feel sort of sorry though, I had shut the door on him rudely.

I whimpered slightly and clutched my chest, and felt my heart pounding crazily still.

Ikuto…

My breath hitched; my heart started beating even faster when his name had entered my mind!

I blushed. Why!?

I sighed. No…no…it can't be!

I can't possibly respond that fast! I mean…it's too soon for me!

"Amu."
I gasped and I turned to hear Ikuto behind my door. My heart started beating a thousand times faster.

"You okay?"
I gulped. "Y-yeah…"

I heard him sigh. "If you say so…"
He walked away, and I blushed.

Was he…worried about me?

I whimpered and I grabbed my head as I shook it. No, no, no! Stop thinking crazy thoughts, Amu!

Ikuto's POV

I sighed as I walked away from Amu's door. Was she upset? I hope I didn't upset her…

I sighed again. I screwed up.

But there was a tiny hope inside my heart that she actually enjoyed it.

I smirked. Yup, she did look sort of like she liked it.

I ran my hand through my hair. Amu….whenever I'm around her now, the hormones are like one million times harder to control.

I seriously wanted not to control it anymore.
The phone rang and I walked towards the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Ikuto." It was Alice.

My eyes widened. "What is it?"

"Okay, I know what happened today, just so you know, and I need you to meet me at this Café. It's very important." She told me the café and I nodded.

"See you."

Since she said it was important, I guess I should go.

I walked to Amu's door. "Amu? I'm going to go out for a little bit."

"O-okay."

"Stay safe."

Silence.

"T-t-thanks."
I sighed and then I walked towards the café.

I went inside the doors of the café, and there was Alice alright.

She waved to me and patted a seat so I could sit.

"So what's this all about?" I asked as I sat down.

She sighed and averted her gaze from me, which made me suspicious.

"I'm happy about what happened today, Ikuto, but there is something going on that is more serious on the matter."
I raised my eyebrow. I haven't ever heard her talk so seriously before. But I nodded. "What is it?"

She looked at me straight in the eye and said, "You need to make Amu fall in love with you and confess soon."

My eyes widened.

Okay, first of all; I was not expecting that.

"Huh?! Why?!" I demanded, my brain panicky.

She sighed and averted her gaze again. "I sense something strange coming. Something really bad and twisty is going to happen. That's why you have to try harder so that would prevent that bad thing to stop happening!" She reasoned, furrowing her brow.

I sighed and laid back, running my hand through my hair.

There was a long silence.

"Well?" Alice said calmly, but her voice was clear about what she wanted to hear from me.

I hesitated, but then I sighed.

"I'll try."

She sighed in relief and smiled. "Okay, Ikuto."

"Anyways, do you know what this 'oh so terrible' thing actually is?"

She shook her head. "Sadly, no. I wish I knew. But I can't tell the future. I can only sense it but I can't get a clear picture of it. I can just feel the vibes." She shuddered. "And this one's going to be way out of nowhere."

"I'm confused, but I'll still try."

She laughed. "Okay, get back to Amu before she gets worried." She smiled.

I sighed and grinned. "Alright. Wish me luck."

She nodded and watched me as I walked out the door.

Normal POV

Meanwhile, five girls were having a slumber party at one of the girls' large mansion. They were all styling their hair and putting make up on.

Among the five girls, there was one with red wavy hair and emerald green eyes, and she was in a very bad mood about something.

"What is it, Saaya?" One of her friends asked as she tied up her own blonde hair in a curly ponytail.

Saaya groaned and stood up. "I. Have. Not. Stopped. Thinking. About that kiss. Ever." She screeched through her teeth, clicking her tongue in irritation as she racked the comb crazily through her hair.

"I know, me neither! How can a girl like that," One of other Saaya's friends, a brunette, groaned; "receive the insanely hot Tsukiyomi Ikuto's attention?! I'd like to know how she schemed it, that liar," She scoffed, padding pink blush on her cheeks.

"But you know the rules of our club. No messing with his girlfriend," Another groaned grumpily, smoothing pink lipstick on her lips.

Saaya stomped angrily to the middle of the room and propped her hands in her hips, admired her polished fingernails for a moment, and then remembered what she was about to do and raised her head to make a proclamation.

"Who cares about rules this time?! This type of girl is absolutely unacceptable. We have to get in their way. I have to." She screamed, her cheeks flushing red in anger.

Most of the girls nodded in response.

"Saaya, you're the president of the club. You have the best ideas. So we'll leave it to you."

Saaya smirked and nodded, raising her chin up in the air arrogantly. "I won't give up that easily! Just wait, Hinamori Amu, I'll make you never return to Ikuto's side!"

Amu's POV

I sneezed. "Ugh. I feel like someone's talking about me…" I sighed, wiping my eyes. I opened the door and I stiffened as I saw Ikuto step inside and look at me.

I gulped as I felt my heart accelerate.

"Amu," He started.

"Y-yeah?" I stuttered, feeling my blush deepen it's color.

He stared at me still, his eyes piercing into mine, but then he closed his eyes and sighed.

"W-what is it!?" I demanded, irritated at his silence.

"You haven't said anything of what happened before. Is something wrong?" He asked, his brow furrowed.

I winced. Of course something's wrong, idiot! You kiss me and all of a sudden my heart starts pounding and I'm more confused than ever!

But I wasn't going to say that.

"N-no, but since you w-won, I guess c-congrats." I blushed. I couldn't believe I was saying this.

His eyes widened.

"So…you mean congrats to making you fall in love with me?" His eyes twinkled with excitement and his mouth curved into a grin.

I blushed and furiously shook my head. "W-what the-n-no way!" I insisted, glaring at him.

He sighed, and walked over to me, his stare once again serious.

I backed away.

"W-what is it-ah!" I gasped as I realized I bumped into a wall.

I gulped as he pinned me to the wall, his body intensely close to mine and his arms trapping me from escaping.

My eyes widened as I felt my cheeks redden and my heart beating even more quickly as I stared into his piercing eyes.

"Amu," He breathed once again, making me blush even more as I felt his breath tickling my cheek.

"W-what is it?! Get off of me!" I demanded, but he didn't move.

"I don't plan on rushing things Amu, but I've decided. Go out with me."

My eyes widened and my face turned as red as tomato.

"What the-?! Huh?! I can't tell you yes right away! I-I mean, I'm not even in love with you!"
He sighed, and winced, his eyes instantly filled with pain which made me slightly regret I'd said that.

"I know that. I just wanted you to know how determined I am."

I twitched as he gently touched my chin and lifted it towards me.

"I won't forget or stop trying to be with you, Amu. Remember that."
And I felt my cheeks burn as red as ever as he leaned in closer to me, and I shut my eyes, but instead I felt his lips press softly against my forehead.

"I'll wait." He whispered, and pressed his lips again against my temples.

I slightly opened my eyes and felt blush creep up my cheeks. W-what was with this guy!? He was so different from before, when I first met him!

T-that doesn't mean anything, right?! I-I can't answer that quickly, I can't believe him that quickly!

"I-Ikuto!" I stuttered and pushed him away.

His eyes widened and he sighed. "Sorry."

"H-hmph!" I turned to my room and shut the door.

I sighed and covered my face with my hands.

There was so much going on!

I grabbed my cell phone and I was desperate. I clicked the contact I wanted to call and put the phone against my ear.

"Hello?"

"Rima! I'm so overwhelmed!" I whined, closing my eyes in frustration.

Rima sighed. "Tell me everything."
After I told her, how I felt and all about what happened, about how my heart started beating so fast, I heard the most unexpected response.

"Well, isn't it obvious? You're in love with him."
My eyes widened.

"WHAT!?"

"Well, I guess you're denying it. But you are in love with him."

"No way! To me, loving someone is actually admitting it! I'm not in love with Ikuto!" I insisted.

"You're going to admit it sooner or later." Rima sighed.

"NO I'M NOT!" I screeched, groaning.

"Okay, okay, calm down, I won't say any more, but this is you're choice, Amu. Ikuto's doing his best for you. I'm not suggesting you be with him because you feel sorry for him. That's just terrible."
"I don't feel sorry for him…" I muttered.

"Oh? So you're purely in love with him?"
My eyes widened and I blushed. "NO! How many times do I have to say that?!"

She sighed. "Okay, whatever, be confused. I'll leave this to you. I can't rush anything to make you suddenly realize anything."

"Huh?" That didn't make sense to me.

She sighed again. "Bye, Amu."

She hung up and so did I.

I groaned and I was even more confused.

My eyes widened as my phone vibrated and I got a text-

From Tadase.

Amu, I was wondering if we could go out together tonight. If you can, meet me at the Café.

"Amu-" Ikuto said once more as I came out of the door, furrowing my brow and blushing crazy as ever.

"I still like Tadase!" I insisted, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"I still like him! I can't switch feelings that fast! But I do like Tadase, I do! So that probably won't change! Tadase's sweet, kind, and I really, really like him! To cut it short, I have a huge crush on him!"

I shut my eyes, hoping he wouldn't care since I sort of tried to believe he didn't love me, but instead, I heard his footsteps moving forward.

I opened my eyes and I stood face to face to a very annoyed Ikuto. "Okay, now I'm pissed." Ikuto growled.

My eyes widened.

"Why is it always Tadase?! Is there no room for me!? I know it sounds selfish, but come on! Tadase's irritating me to death-"

"I'm going to go out with Tadase! He invited me somewhere, and I'm planning on confessing that I like him!"

His eyes widened in surprise and he narrowed his eyes.

"Goodbye!" I growled as I tried to shove past him, but then he swiftly grabbed my back and lifted my legs up so I was carried by him.

My eyes widened and I blushed. "I-Ikuto!?"

"I'm not letting you."

"Huh!?"

"I'm not going to let you go to him." He said through his teeth, his eyes determined.

"Wha-Ikuto!? Let go!" I demanded, but he kicked open the door to his room and locked it.

"Iku-"

My eyes widened as he pressed his lips against mine roughly his hands twisting through my fingers and gripping them tightly as he pushed his tongue through my lips, making me whimper.

Ikuto…stop doing this!

Why are you so determined?!

I gasped as we fell onto the bed as he kissed me more deeply, leaving me even more breathless then before.

He stopped suddenly and wrapped his arms tightly around my body and pressed his lips against my forehead.

My cheeks were turning redder than a tomato. "I'm not going to let you go."
I whimpered. "Ikuto…!"

He gripped me even more tightly and buried his face into my hair.

"Please…don't go."

My eyes widened as I heard great sorrow and pain in his voice and he gripped me even more tightly.

"Don't leave me."
I furrowed my brow and I stopped trying to get away from him.

I guess, at times, he can be like a kid.

"Ikuto…."
He pressed his lips against mine, making me blush and he let go, his eyes staring desperately into my eyes, making my heart almost stop.

"Stay with me."
Looking at those eyes, listening to his voice, I stopped trying.

I closed my eyes and I wrapped my hands around him, giving up.

And I guess I do sort of admit…

I sort of…cared for him.

I felt my blush redden as I let go, looking away stubbornly from him.

"O…kay. I'll stay only if you stop doing that," I muttered, and my heart suddenly felt happy when his expression lightened.

He smiled and he pressed his lips against my forehead, leaving my cheeks as red as ever and my heart beating quickly. "Thank you," He whispered.

My eyes widened as I stared at his smiling face.
Ikuto can be cute if he was more like this.

I sighed, and I secretly promised myself I was never going to say that in front of him because it'll embarrass me for life.

The Next Day

Ikuto's POV

I grinned to myself as I walked to school.

Yup. Big development. I was able to get her to stay with me instead of going with Tadase.

I lowered my eye lids. But I did mean it though. I seriously didn't want her to be with Tadase.

I smiled to myself. Heck, I didn't even care if I was a tiny bit selfish. I wanted Amu to be mine. She was precious to me.

"Ikuto!"

I sighed and I turned to see the girl I haven't seen in a week, Saaya Yamabuki.

She sighed and pouted and walked towards me. I stepped back. "What do you want?" I asked cautiously, but she looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Ikuto-kun! I love you! Please break up with that girl and go out with me!"

My eyes didn't change. I was too used to these confessions.

"No. Sorry Saaya, but I'm not going to change my mind about her."

She muttered something to herself and she narrowed her eyes, looking desperate. "If-if that's what you want, Ikuto…"

I rolled my eyes. It was obvious she was faking.

"I won't give you up to her, Ikuto! I won't give up!"
I sighed. "Yeah, yeah, sure."

The End of School

Amu's POV

I was walking stubbornly to find Ikuto. I just apologized to Tadase for not going since it was Ikuto's fault!

I sighed and blushed as I remembered yesterday.

I shook my head. There's no feelings for him in here, I swear!

Ikuto was walking towards the footsteps and he smirked, making me blush, and he waved at me.

I was walking towards him but then I stopped in surprise as I saw Saaya running like crazy with tears in her eyes.

What the hell was Saaya doing here?!

Seeing Saaya was unexpected, but what she did next was unbelievable.

"Ikuto!" She whimpered and the students stared at her with shocked eyes as she jumped on Ikuto and wrapped her arms around him.

His eyes widened in shock as she pressed his lips against his, tears falling down her cheeks.

My eyes widened.

Saaya was kissing Ikuto.

No!

I stepped forward without thinking and started running towards them.

There was only one word resounding loudly through my mind.

Ikuto….!

Aya: CLIFFHANGER. :3
