Itazura Na Kiss

Chapter: Secret confession

Strawberry Cake With Yaoi: Hello! Some of you may know me. I'm Strawberry-kun/chan. Yes my name has yaoi on it. Ignore that.

From now on, I will be updating stories from Lollipop's profile, but with her writing the original chapters/story, while I'm just editing it and updating it with this account.

Yes, I'm not Lollipop-chan, but it's because she is thinking about quitting Fanfiction for a year. ): so she won't be back with most of her wonderful Amuto stories. I'm a Takuto fan, but don't worry, I won't ruin her stories with Takuto(because she's so damn amazing when it comes to Amuto ==").

Lollipop says she's very sorry that she can no longer update and she forgot about her account password, which was so hard to retrace, but we got it. ^ ^

Here's the chapter that's never been updated until today. Please enjoy it!

In the early days that began to set, Amu and Ikuto got up ready for school. In the morning, it wasn't awkward but Ikuto's head was buried against Amu's chest when Amu woke up this morning. She was bright red when she woke up. Ikuto, though, when he woke up he didn't react at all but only to say, "Wow… You sure are a flat-chest. What size are you?" He asked, not trying to 'hurt' her feelings.

Amu was looking very pissed though and she growled at him saying, "GET OUT." Ikuto laughed and got out from the bed. But somehow when he did, before he left the room, he gave Amu a kiss on the cheek. Which made her wonder if Ikuto did love her or if he was playing with her heart… She just wasn't brave enough to ask him that question again…

'Aren't you engaged to Utau?' Was he? Or was he just playing around with her? In a trap… Amu forgot about it after that and headed to the bathroom where she took a quick shower.

Ikuto was as usual, taking his time eating his mother's morning meals, and Amu, trying to get herself ready for school. She was in her room, looking at herself in the mirror. She was looking very, 'cute' today. She tied her hair in cute pigtails with red ribbons to stand out.

Her eyes shined. She blushed brightly, and she could definitely see herself going red. I wonder what Ikuto will say if he saw me like this… She thought, deeply in her mind. Yesterday, Ikuto stayed with her on her bed at night. It sounded funny, but Amu loved it every little bit. Her heart jumped when she thought about him once more.

There wasn't any time stuffing down all her emotions in her diary, or is there even any more time for her to stare at herself in the mirror any longer. She got her bag and opened it, making sure she had everything. She beamed. "OK! I'm ready!" She got out from her room and saw someone outside. It was Yoru. He was also going to school, yet you could tell he just got out from bed. His hair was still a mess and his eyes looks dead tired. Amu smiled. "Morning Yoru-kun! Didn't you sleep well yesterday?" She asked politely, in a cheerful voice.

Yoru waved at her and yawned loudly showing that he didn't had enough sleep from last night. He headed downstairs without even giving her an appropriate answer. Amu looked at him and giggled.

She got down the stairs as well. Yumoi was in the kitchen cooking. "Ah! Nii-san! Don't eat that food like a wolf would!" She said, telling Ikuto off. Ikuto ignored his mother's words and ate it however he would eat it, like a messy eater. Amu giggled. "Good morning!" She cried out. Yumoi looked up. "Ah good morn- Wah! Amu-chan~ I love your hair today! So cute, it shows your inner-self!" Yumoi cried out. Ikuto looked behind. Yet, when he did, you could see that he was showing a shade of red on his cheeks. Amu blushed brightly, but she didn't realize it. "How—How do I look Ikuto…?" She asked, shyly.

Ikuto coughed a little when she asked that. He was looking for the words and finally said, "Cute… You look cute." He looked away and began eating his food. Amu was going bright red now. Yoru though, got on the couch and fell asleep. Yumoi came over to wake him up, slapping him gently on his cheeks. "Now now~ it's your fault for sleeping in late. I told you so." Yoru though didn't woke up and fell asleep.

Amu got to the front door and called out to Ikuto, "Oi! Hurry up! We need to go to school!" Ikuto quickly ate his food and left the table, with the messy food on his plate. Yumoi sighed yet she smiled. "Have fun at school today!" Ikuto nodded and got to the front door. Both Amu and Ikuto wore their shoes and headed outside. It was still snowing, but everything seems to be a lot more beautiful when it's covered in this sheet of white snow…

Amu and Ikuto walked down the road they go to school. Ikuto yawned. Amu looks at him. She blushes. "Ah~ Ikuto~ It's so nice today isn't it?" She said, as she breathed out loudly. It was certainly cold. She could feel the cool breeze creeping up to her legs and making her shiver.

Ikuto smiled. "Yeah. It's nice out." He said. Amu smiled. The both of them fell in silence, yet they loved each other's company.

When they reached school, Ikuto looked at her. "Hey. You. Leave me again like you usually do, I'll kill you. Even though yesterday I had to wait for you." He said. Amu giggled. "OK! OK! I won't~" She said. Ikuto chuckled. "OK see ya."

"Bye." Ikuto left her after that. Amu sighed under her breath. It was so freezing cold. She got in to class and saw Yaya and Rima. She sat to them and chatted. Yaya giggled, "Amu-chi! I love your hair! It's adorable and special~!" She said. Amu blushed. "Ah! Stop making me blush!" She cried.

Rima didn't say much about Amu's hair yet said, "Cute." Amu blushed.

"Cute… You look cute."

She smiled. "Thanks Rima-chan~" She said in a very happy mood.

::oXooXo::

It was after school, Amu waited for Ikuto. It was getting colder as the sun was about to go down. She sighed. "What's taking him so long…?" She said to herself. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. She instantly looked up to see if it was Ikuto. Wrong… It was Tadase.

His eyes looked sad. "Amu-chan…?" He asked. Amu looked at him and began to look away. She ignored him. She could hear him sighed sadly, but Amu resisted. She didn't even give him a bit sympathy. "Amu… Listen. I don't understand why you're like this… Can't you tell me? I want to know what I did wrong." He pleaded.

She looked angry. She faced him with fear eyes and glared at his very soul. "You want to know? OK. Fine! I'll tell you! Remember on Christmas when you're suppose to spend your time with me, you had to go ahead and kiss someone I don't even know on that day! You jerk! You're so mean! You don't even remember and I had to tell you! You're so stupid! You should know that yourself!" Amu cried, chucking all her madness at him. Tadase looked shocked. "What- What do you mean by that Amu? You know I wouldn't do that to you!" Tadase cried back.

Amu now, had tears in her eyes. "I had it with you! Go and be with your stupid girlfriend! I don't want to face you!" She cried. Tadase looked shocked. He tried to comfort her, but she pushed him away. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She cried. Tadase heard it… Yet this time, he looked down. Not facing her.

He didn't say a word, and left her in the cold. She started sobbing. Tadase tried to look back, he would if he could. He could win her back, yet maybe it was too late. He didn't even know what happened on that day.

But, he could remember a woman calling his name… "Tadase" she whispers. Her cold lips placed on his. Her warmth being transferred through to his cold body. But who was she? Did Tadase knew who it was?

Obviously not.

Ikuto finally came, but he heard tiny sobs. He ran out to the entrance and saw a pink-haired girl, washing her tears off. Ikuto looked surprised. He came close and hugged her. Amu looked surprised, but this warmth was familiar. She knew who it was. She began to cry more. "Iku-*hic* Ikuto…" She said, while still crying.

"Hey, don't say anything… I'm here. No matter what happens." He whispers near her ear.

He sounded like a friend now. Not a lover. Yet it seemed like both to Amu, but Ikuto has to be her friend, since she can't fall in love with him. They're meant to be friends.

"Come on, let's go home." He said, as he supported her weight, trying to hold her in his arms. Amu knew that she was welcomed in these warm arms. She felt safe.

She loved it.

They got back home and Ikuto took out his shoes as Amu did the same thing. Ikuto looked at Amu's face. It was cold and wet. She still had tears pouring out. He smiled. He washed a tear that was about to fall down her cheeks. She looked up to see his face. They're eyes connected. Deeply, they're both lost into each other's eyes. His eyes, beautifully glinted while hers, were shining brightly for attention.

Ikuto coughed when he realized he was staring too long. He smiled. "Come on. Get changed and head up to the room. I'll warm up something for you." He said. Amu blushed and nodded. She got up the stairs and changed her clothes to Yumoi's old clothes.

She sat down on the floor after getting changed. She looked at her diary and smiled. She took it and started writing something.

::oXooXo::

Ikuto knocked the door. "Amu. I'm coming in." He opened the door with his right hand since his left hand was bringing up a bowl of warm porridge. When he opened it, he sees the pink-haired girl sleeping on the floor. He chuckled.

It could be a chance for him to do something to her.

But surely not today, it wasn't a good time.

He places the bowl on the floor and sees the girl hugging her diary. Ikuto looks at it. It was open. He pulls it out slowly away from her secured arms. When he had it, the diary was open to a page, not quite filled. He smiled. He began reading it.

Dear Diary,

Today, Ikuto said I looked cute when I had my pigtails. It was amazing though! I thought he would say something mean and unexpected. Haha, must be just me. Ikuto is such a good friend though. But. I feel as sometimes that I want to tell him about how much I love him… I wonder if he will accept it…

Well. I'll save that for the future, so wish me luck!

And also, Tadase came to see me… I didn't know why, but I threw all the things at him. The things I wanted to say to him. It felt bad, but pretty good. I don't feel that heavy weight on me anymore. It felt good. I had to agree.

Well, at least Tadase will have a good time with that woman. Whoever she was…

And one last thing! Ikuto hugged me in his arms. It was so warm and perfect~ I remembered what he told me…

"Hey, don't say anything. I'm here, no matter what happens." Kyyaaa! I feel so special that I just can't write anymore! I love Ikuto! Wow! If he saw this, I would feel so embarrassed!

Ikuto stared at that page. His face was going bright red. It was something he doesn't usually do, but wow, getting a confession from a book was certainly BIG. Ikuto coughed again. He seems to be doing that recently. He then closed the book not trying to ruin the rest of it. He smiled when he saw the pink-haired girl. He stroked her hair and picked her up. He places her gently on the bed and smiles when he gets to see her sleep in a cute way.

He chuckles once more.

"I'm glad." He says quietly.
