Chapter 14

"Ok…let's see. We're all on the second floor. Rima and Yaya, you're the first door on the left. Ikuto and Amu, second door on the left. Nagehiko and Tadase, first door on the right, and Kukai and I are on the second door on the right," Utau ordered as we headed up some stairs.

"What's the plan first Utau-chan?" Yaya asked eagerly.

"Well…it's about dinner time…so freshen up if you want, and come down for dinner. We can think about what to do after dinner later," Utau replied as she went into her room, along with Kukai. As Ikuto and I entered ours, I heard him shut the door before scooping me into his arms, bridal style of course.

"Ikuto!" I blushed, "What are you doing?!"

"I wasn't finished kissing you on the bus…" he replied seductively.

I squirmed before I felt Ikuto plant his lips on mine. As his supple lips kissed mine, I could tell he was hungry. Ikuto kissed me harder as he placed my feet on the ground. I tangled my fingers in his azure hair as his stayed firmly around my waist. I felt his lips move to the corner of my mouth, then to my cheeks, giving me spotted kisses. His lips traveled from my cheek to my nose, eyes, forehead, lips, anywhere his hungry lips could find. After pulling away for a breath, I laughed.

"Better?" I asked as I starred into his beautiful sapphire eyes.

"Mmm," he hummed as his nose touched mine. I pulled out of his arms then.

"We should freshen up…" I said, slightly reluctant to be out of his arms. He only smiled as I grabbed some fresh clothes and a towel. After we had both freshened up by taking a relaxing shower, we headed downstairs.

"Where's the kitchen?" I asked, my right hand in Ikuto's left.

"This place is…big…even for me," Ikuto replied.

"Let's ask one of these worker people…"

"Or we could explore for ourselves," Ikuto suggested as he began walking.

"Why don't guys like asking for help?!" I sighed in defeat.

"Because…we're guys"

"Hey!!!" Yaya called from behind us. We turned to see her waving her hand in the air, standing beside Rima and Nagi. We walked over as she asked, "Where were you two going?"

"We were going to explore," I responded.

"No need! We already did!" Yaya exclaimed happily.

"Did you know there's a game room here?" Rima said.

"And there's a candy machine in that game room, Yaya," Nagi said. I saw Yaya's eye twitch, but she quickly shook it off.

"There's also a movie room! It has like a massive TV, with a wall filled with DVDs, and couches, and a fireplace!" Yaya squealed.

"Hey Rima, do you know what's for dessert today?" Nagi teased.

"Hmm…I think it's strawberry cake," Rima added. Yaya's eye twitched again.

"Strawberry cake, hmm?" Ikuto whispered into my ear. I giggled slightly.

"Well, let's go! Dinner will get cold!" Yaya cheered as she dashed across the hall. Rima and Nagi walked with us as we slowly took our time.

"Amu, who gave you that necklace? It's very pretty," Rima asked.

"Oh, um…Ikuto," I answered shyly.

"It's very pretty…nice job Ikuto…"

"Um…thank…you??"

I giggled as Rima shot him a smile, along with Nagi.

As we reached the dinning area, I saw that everyone was already seated. We took our seats as the servers began to bring out trays of food and serve us.

"I could get used to this," I said as a very kind woman placed rice on my plate. At the same time a kind gentleman was pouring water into a glass for me. I heard Ikuto smirk as he saw the grin stretched across my face.

"It doesn't take much to please you, does it Amu?" Ikuto teased.

"Be quiet," I blushed.

Once the dinner had been served, we ate joyfully. Everyone was having a good time, even Ikuto, which surprised me because, not long ago, he didn't know any of these teens sitting with him. But now, here he is, laughing at Kukai's clumsiness, teasing Tadase, and talking to Nagi as if they were best buds since preschool. I was happy that Ikuto was enjoying himself. He had every right to. He tried to act nonchalant, but I could tell he was as happy as I was, but he didn't show it as clearly as I did.

After dinner, the servers brought out dessert; and just like Rima had said, it was strawberry cake. We all ate the cake, all except Yaya, who seemed to be hyperventilating in her seat. I sighed at her pained expression as I felt Ikuto suddenly grabbed my hand from under the table.

"This cake isn't as sweet as my little strawberry," he whispered into my ear. I blushed.

"Hmm, why are you guys always whispering to each other?" Yaya inserted, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

"They're probably talking romantic things," Rima said nonchalantly.

"What?! Rima! Yaya!" I exclaimed as the blush spread on my cheeks.

"Calm down Amu-chan, you know she's only teasing," Tadase assured.

"Yeah…" I took a quick glance at Ikuto, who seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter.

"What do you guys want to do next?" Utau asked.

"Yaya doesn't want to change…I'm too comfy and tired," Yaya herself said before yawning massively.

"Me too man, that trip was tiring," Kukai said.

"Isn't the whole point of coming here to relax?" Utau asked.

"There is more than one way to relax," Ikuto said dully.

"Utau, we could always relax in the springs later," I offered.

"Ok…fine with me…" Utau agreed.

"So what? A movie?" Nagi suggested.

"Hmm…movie is cool with me," Rima agreed, causing Nagi to grin. Oh yeah, there is something definitely up.

"It's ok with me too," Tadase added. Ikuto only shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. I nodded excitedly.

So after deciding that a movie would be better than all the hassle of changing for the spa, we all went towards the movie room. As we walked, we saw someone enter through the front door.

To me, he looked somewhat similar to Ikuto. His hair was white, but he wasn't old. It was shiny, like silk lay upon his head. It was messy, like Ikuto's, and came slightly past his eyes. He was tall and slender, just like Ikuto. His eyes were the most peculiar. They were a deep forest green. He wore a simple pair of black pants and black shirt as he entered the spa house. Even though he was similar to Ikuto, he wasn't nearly as sexy as Ikuto. I'm not obsessed, I told you the term in madly in love. No one can beat Ikuto's amazing-ness…and sexiness…

Suddenly all workers nearby bowed to him and greeted him with respect.

"Utau-chan, who's that?" Yaya whispered as we stood watching the unknown man come closer to us.

"He…seems…familiar?" Utau whispered back.

"Hello, Hoshina Utau," he said as he greeted Utau.

"You know me??"

"Of course…the director of Easter is your stepfather," he said like it was obvious.

"Who are you?" Kukai asked.

"I'm Kureno Saiga. The manager of this spa house," the man told us."Kureno Saiga…why does that seem so familiar to me?" Utau thought to herself.

"I am the son of a board member at Easter," he told.

"Saiga…Saiga…OH! I know! Hi!!!" Utau said as it finally clicked.

"I'm surprised you didn't recognize me. You too, Ikuto-kun," Kureno said as he turned his attention to Ikuto and me.

"I did," Ikuto replied darkly while grabbing my right hand with his left, intertwining our fingers and pulling me closer to his side. Kureno looked puzzled, but quickly shook it off.

"I see you are here with friends. Making the most of your holiday I guess," Kureno said to Utau.

"Yes, we're here for the entire week," she replied. "I don't understand one thing though…"

"And what's that?"

"Why are you the manager of the spa house?" she asked curiously.

"Well someone has to look over it. And I enjoy the serenity of the mountains, so what could be better?"

"But you're so young! What about college?" She asked.

"I only watch this place for the summer. In fall, I go back into the city for school," he explained.

"Ah, I see…"

"Utau, you must introduce me to your friends," Kureno said as he shot a smile towards my direction. I felt Ikuto's grip tighten.

"Yo! I'm Soma Kukai!"

"HI HI! I'm Yuiki Yaya, but you can call me Yaya!!" I heard Pepe giggle as she floated close to Yaya's shoulder.

"Hello, Hotori Tadase, nice to meet you."

"Mashiro Rima."

"I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko, nice to meet you."

"I'm Hinamori Amu," I said with my cool and spicy attitude, "Sup?"

Sup?!?!? Who says sup?!?!

"You already know who I am," Ikuto said darkly.

"Ah yes…Ikuto-kun. Long time no see!" Kureno exclaimed. "Well hello everyone, Kukai, Yaya, Rima, Tadase, Nagihiko, and Amu," he greeted as he looked at our large group. When his eyes met mine, I saw a smile crawl onto his face. I also felt Ikuto stiffen beside me.

Suddenly I felt Ikuto release my hand only to wrap both of his arms securely around my waist. He shifted himself so that he was standing behind me, his head directly above mine, his arms snaked around my waist.

"I forgot to tell you something, Kureno," Ikuto said with fake enthusiasm. "Amu's my girlfriend," he said with a hint of evil in his voice. He tightened his arms around me, causing me to blush as he brought his lips to the top of my head. Ikuto's being very protective all of a sudden…

"Really?" Kureno asked as if he were really surprised.

"Yes."

"Oh."

For a moment it was complete silence as Ikuto and Kureno had a 'stare-off.' I was beginning to feel that Ikuto didn't like Kureno very much.

Why you ask?

Ever heard of the phrase if looks could kill?

Ikuto was glaring at Kureno like he was some demon straight from hell. Both had smirks on their faces.

"Well as much as we would love to stay and chat, we have to go," Ikuto spat as he broke the silence.

"Of course," Kureno said as he gestured for us to take our leave. Ikuto turned around then, wrapping an arm securely around my waist as we walked in no apparent direction. After the others said their goodbyes to Kureno, they quickly caught up to us.

"That was weird," Rima said dully.

"I know…" Yaya said, slightly dazed.

"That guy doesn't seem to be much older than you, Ikuto-san," Kukai said.

"He's not," Utau interjected, "he's the same age."

"Actually, he's a year older," Ikuto said as he tightened his arm around. I kept my fingers together, fidgeting with my thumbs, trying to figure out what had just happened.

Why was that weirdo staring at me?! Could he not tell that I'm not interested?! Weirdo.

"Amu," Ikuto whispered, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…hey Ikuto…how do you know him?"

"I met him once…while I worked for Easter…he's very…obnoxious…"

"Really?"

"Yeah…"

"Did you see his hair?" Rima asked.

"Yeah! It was white!!" Yaya said.

"Is that natural??" Nagi asked.

"Who cares," Ikuto said nonchalantly as we entered the movie room. As Utau and Kukai scanned the wall of DVDs, Ikuto plopped himself down on a love couch, seating me beside him. He placed an arm around my shoulders as I cuddled into him. I heard an "aw" escape from Yaya's mouth, but I disregarded it. After the charas had taken their seats close to us, I heard Ikuto sigh.

"What's wrong Ikuto?" I asked quietly.

"Nothing…"

"Liar…"

"It's just…I never really liked that guy, and now he shows up here of all places," Ikuto grumbled.

"He's the manager, so he'll be busy anyways. You shouldn't care so much…" I said, trying to reassure him.

"Yeah…but did you see the way he was looking at you?"

"Are you getting protective?" I teased.

"You're mine. Of course I'll be protective," he whispered into my hair before kissing the top of my head softly.

Awwww!!!!!!!

"You're so cute when you're like this," I teased.

"Amu…never call a guy cute…"

"…how about romantic?"

"That works…speaking of…I can be very romantic…if you want…" he mused in my ear.

"Huh?"

"we don't really have to watch this movie…"

"Ugh…what do you mean?" I asked innocently. What's he getting at??

"We could always sneak away, to our bedroom, to the hot springs. Whichever you want," he whispered seductively.

"Um…" I blushed like crazy.

"I prefer the bedroom…"

"Ikuto! Stop being so perverted!" I exclaimed quietly.

He laughed as he tousled my hair slightly.

"Have you two decided on a movie?" Ikuto asked Utau and Kukai.

"It's between horror and comedy," Kukai said.

"I really don't care," Rima said as she sat next to Nagi.

"Yaya is bound to fall asleep anyways," Yaya said, talking in third person as usual.

"Then we should definitely watch horror," Utau cheered.

"What?! What's wrong with comedy?! Laughing is better for the heart!" I exclaimed.

Ikuto chuckled before whispering, "Are you scared?"

"Um…I'm not a fan of horror movies," I admitted shyly.

"I'm here," he reassured, using his free hand to hold one of mine, "besides…it's just a movie."

"Just put it in," Rima groaned.

"So you won't get scared Rima?" Nagi teased.

"No."

"Ugh…ok…" Nagi looked confused. Suddenly Rima leaned her head against Nagi's arm, causing him to blush. "Rima-chan?"

"I'm tired…don't bother me," she said quietly.

AWWW!!! That's so cute…

After Utau put in some random scary movie, she shut off the lights before taking a seat next to Kukai. I was scared out of my nerves as the ominous music ascended to a loud tone. Did she have to choose The Ring?!?! Soon I was burying my face into Ikuto's chest as his arms wound securely around my body. Ikuto better not do anything perverted…or I'll punch him.

"It's just a movie," he whispered. But the ear-piercing scream said otherwise. I clutched onto his shirt as the screams continued. Suddenly I heard a bang and the power switched off. Everything was black.

"Great! Just when the movie was getting good!" Kukai whined.

"It's the curse of the movie!" Yaya exclaimed, "We watched it and now bad things are going to happen to us! It's going to creep up and eat our brains out!!! YAYA IS TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!"

"Yaya-chan, calm down," Tadase said as he laughed nervously.

"What made the power go out anyways?" Rima asked.

"There's a storm outside," Nagi answered, "I guess the power's out…"

"ANOTHER STORM?!" I exclaimed as Ikuto situated me in his arms, back to our original position.

"It's the curse!"

"Yaya, be quiet," Utau ordered. Soon, all the charas were panicking as the floated closely to their owners. It was pitch black, I couldn't see anything. I could only feel Ikuto's arm around my shoulder, his hot breathe against my ear.

"Amu, are you ok?" Ikuto asked sweetly.

"I-I'm f-f-fine," I stuttered like a buffoon.

"Dude! We need light!" Kukai exclaimed. Suddenly the door to the movie room swung open, banging loudly against the wall. There stood a lean figure silhouetted against the dark entrance, holding a candle in his hand.

"Is everyone alright?" A familiar voice asked. Kureno

"Hey man, what happened to the lights?" Kukai asked.

"There's a thunder storm outside, and something struck the power. The mechanic is trying to fix it as we speak. I came to help you reach your rooms safely."

"Thank you Kureno-chan!!!" Yaya exclaimed, "No stupid monster is going to eat my brains!"

"Well, if you could just follow me. Walk in pairs so no one trips," he said as he waited by the door. After a few stumbles, we finally reached Kureno who began to lead us down the hall with his dimly lit candle.

Oh how I envy the charas…the can fly…no falling, no tripping, just safe floating.

"Ikuto," I whispered as something clicked in my brain. His hand held mine as we made our way to our room.

"Hmm?"

"Does…Kureno…have a shugo chara?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yes…he's not even aware of their existence, or anything to do with them…"

"Did he lose his?"

"I don't know…and really don't care," he replied sternly. Soon we had reached the foot of the staircase.

"Make sure you don't trip," he said as he allowed us to go ahead of him. He handed the leader an extra candle so we wouldn't be stuck in the dark.

"Be careful Amu," Kureno whispered as Ikuto and I passed him. Ikuto stiffened before scooping me into his arms, bridal style.

"No worries," Ikuto growled, "She's safe with me…"

"Make sure you don't trip, Ikuto-kun…we wouldn't want her to get hurt, now would we?" His deep voice responded.

"I don't need your help," Ikuto spat in return. Once we had reached the second floor, we each scurried into our own rooms.

"Good night," I heard Kureno say before Ikuto slammed the door shut with his foot. He sat on the bed's edge, with me still in his arms.

"Ikuto…is something bothering you?" I asked stupidly.

"He's bothering me! He's always had an eye on what's mine…that low life," Ikuto growled. I sighed as I situated myself in his arms so that my legs were wrapped lightly around his waist as my arms hooked loosely around his neck.

"Ikuto…calm down…I'm yours…and always will be," I said as I ran a hand through his hair.

Ikuto suddenly grinned a very seductive grin as he placed on hand on my right thigh and the other around my waist.

"You know…Amu…we're all alone now…we can do whatever we want," he mused in my ear as his hand slowly trailed up and down my thigh.

"Ikuto, stop being so perverted!!" I exclaimed as I tried squirming out of his hold, but he was too strong. "Ikuto I mean it!"

"What?" he asked seductively as both his hands wound around my tiny waist.

"No more perverted-ness!"

"That's not even a word Amu…"

"D-Don't try c-changing the s-subject!" I whispered frantically as both his hands slid down to the hem of my shirt. "Ikuto!!!"

He finally chuckled as he released me and placed my body beside his.

"You ruin all the fun Amu," Ikuto fake pouted.

"Whatever…let's go to sleep. And by sleep, I mean sleep, nothing else," I teased as I slipped into the sheets. Ikuto sighed as he followed, wrapping his arms lightly around my body so I could rest my head against his chest. He kissed the top of my head as I yawned.

"Sleep Amu, you must be tired," he mused into my hair. I nodded lightly as I buried my face into his chest.

"Good night Ikuto…remember I'm yours. There's nothing to worry about."

"I know," his husky voice replied.

But there was still a bit of edge hidden in his deep, velvet voice.

Ok…so that turned out longer than expected…
