Okay, no author's note. I'll go straight to the story :) Enjoy, R&R!
Chapter 14
Recap:
I turned it and backed away immediately (precaution, 'kay?). I guess it was a good choice. Because standing there wasn't the Easter people, but Tadase (wouldn't he be considered part of Easter now?)
End of Recap
Amu's POV:
"The heck…?" I stood there, dumbfounded.
Tadase decided to take that as a 'Welcome!' and let himself in. I snapped out of my trance and caught up to him.
"Hey, you! This isn't your house! Get out!"
He looked at me and raised one eyebrow, "Hey, you. This isn't your house either. Get out."
He got me there. "Well, at least I have permission to be here."
"Hm…" he tapped his chin thoughtfully, "True…"
He sat down on the couch, "It's a pretty nice place for that thieving cat…"
"GET OUT!"
He sighed pitifully as he raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, I'll leave. I guess you don't want to know why I'm working for Easter."
I shut the door, ignoring the little part of my mind screaming that this was a trap.
I settled down at the opposite side of the couch. "Well?"
Tadase gave me a smug look, how much he changed over the years…
"Well, then. Why? Because….because…I guess it's because of you. The moment you stepped in, everyone's love and respect towards me, were all taken away and given to you. I felt some love and respect towards you too, I do admit. You had that…that power to help everyone around you…not just your power of the Humpty Lock and 3 charas…"
I got bored. This is pretty much what Rima told me. "And…?"
"And well. At one point, I guess my hate grew pretty strong. I dunno what it is with Easter but they can sense negative stuff or something. So they sensed me and invited me over to the company. I would get my ranking back, and also, it'd benefit them too because you'd be going down."
I clenched my fists, "Well what about after? What would happen after you guys gained the Humpty Lock? Would you just go back to everyone and apologize? Would you think all peace would be restored?"
Tadase shrugged, "Yeah."
I stood up, "Well if that's how you think, then…too bad!" I pointed to the door.
He held his hands in surrender again, "I'm leaving. At least I told you the reason. Oh and, don't you tell Easter any other this. It'll be better for both of us." He walked to the door and went out.
He thinks he's all nice now because he told me something supposedly helpful.
"Hi-yah!" What?
I'm about the go outside to see what's happening when a tied up Tadase is thrown into the house followed by Rima, Nagihiko, and Yaya.
"Fear not, Amu-chi! Tadase was about to go into Ikuto's house and capture you again! But we managed to arrive and stop him before it happened!"
I mentally facepalmed. Nice, Yaya.
"I appreciate it. But he already came over and was about to leave."
…
…
…
A huge argument starts between the three of them about who attacked Tadase first.
"CALM!" I shouted.
They stopped. I sighed and beckoned them all in, "Bring Tadase too, but don't untie him. But take the duck tape off his mouth."
Where did they get rope and duck tape anyways?
A loud scream filled the air as the duck tape came off. Ouch.
Ikuto's POV:
I woke up, rubbing my head because of a headache. I remembered how there was poisonous gas around the gate of the school. I hope Amu made it home safe.
I walked around until I found a teacher.
"I feel fine now, so I'll be leaving."
"Okay! Take care!"
I walked out of the school building. Walk, walk, walk. I held my breath as I passed the school gate, just precaution.
Walk
Walk
Walk
As I got closer to my house, I saw a little blob of dust near the door. I shrugged, Probably just my headache.
Then, after a while, a loud scream fills the air and I'm pretty sure it was from my house. I ran, hoping Amu was safe.
Amu's POV:
"So." I sat down. "Why don't we explain-"
"Yes, Amu, why don't we explain why so many people are in my house?"
Shoot. I slowly turn my head towards the door. Dang it.
"Hi…Ikuto…?"
Dun dun dun, Ikuto's back! Hope you guys liked the chappie, bye!
