Chapter 14
Amu and Utau was walking into the courtyard for lunch when Saaya came over. "Amu Hinamori, I am coming to get my revenge, fight me." Amu snorted and kept walking until she felt Saaya pull her arm. She instantly flipped Saaya over, but Saaya grabbed her leg and almost took Amu with her. Saaya quickly jumped up, and tried to punch Amu. Amu easily grabbed Saaya's fist, and started to push Saaya back. Saaya tried to kick Amu but missed. Amu was not impressed, "this is what you call revenge? That's pathetic, if you're going to waste my time at least make it interesting." Saaya's face went red with anger, her green eyes flashing dangerously like an angered wild animals. Amu smirked, maybe this would make it more interesting.
"I'm going to hurt you Amu! Saaya screamed. Amu didn't say anything, but was just watching Saaya's moves. Saaya faked one way and punched another, but Amu saw through it and easily sidestepped it. Amu started to yawn, 'I was wrong, this is a waste of time.' "Come on Amu! Hit me! Or are you scared?" Saaya taunted, Amu didn't respond but ignored Saaya instead. It worked in making Saaya even angrier than she was before. "I hate you Amu Hinamori! You think you're so cool just because you're friends with Ikuto? Well, I am the President of Ikuto's fan club and his boyfriend. Yeah that's right, I'm his boyfriend." "Shut up." Saaya smirked, "what, did that strike a nerve?" "Yeah" Saaya smiled even wider until, "your voice is so shrill and annoying! Do everyone's' ears a favor and shut up!" Saaya's smirk feel into a scowl, "HINAMORI!" she flew at Amu with punches and kicks flying everywhere. Amu dodged them all, and then grabbed her arm before Saaya could throw another punch.
"Saaya, I'll warn you once, go away, before I'm forced to hurt you." Saaya's eyes flitted somewhere and she started to whimper, her lower lip began to tremble, a tear started to form in her eyes. Then the weirdest thing ever, Amu was ripped off of Saaya, "you won't hurt Saaya at all." Amu whipped around to see a cold Ikuto. Amu just shrugged and walked off, but not before giving Ikuto a look that showed a hint of betrayal but covered up with coldness. Ikuto didn't notice Saaya smirking, but Amu did. When Ikuto turned back to Saaya, she had already put up the poor distressed damsel act. Utau looked disgusted at Saaya and ran to go find Amu.
After searching everywhere else, she finally found Amu in the workout room, punching all her anger out into a punching bag. It kind of made Utau feel bad for the poor bag. "Hey Amu, do you need someone to talk to?" Amu was silent for a moment, not trusting herself to say something terrible in her moment of rage. Finally after a few more enraged, killer (literally) punches, she looked at Utau. "Actually, do you mind turning on some music for me? I think that's what I need right now." Utau looked at Amu then nodded, willing to do anything for her friend. She turned on Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale.
Amu slipped off her headphones, and started to move to the music. Putting all her emotions into it. It really was the perfect song for her mood. Amu's body quirked, jerked, and glided along with the music. Her style looked like contemplative dance. Amu spun, leapt, making her look like a beautiful but sorrowful angel. It changed though, as Angel of Darkness came on.
Amu's dances immediately became darker, she started to do leaps and pirouettes, her movements were more graceful, but still filled with a dark hate. Utau could feel the results of the wound that Ikuto had inflicted on Amu. Amu wasn't scary, yet.
'It's not fair, what did I do? I was just defending myself from Saaya, she attacked me. Of course Saaya would lie though, that's what she does best. She's just that type of person, I can't believe Ikuto would let himself be fooled.' Her thoughts became darker, her hatred fueled when Monster by Skillet came on.
Her eyes glowed pure contempt, the dancing brought relief to her, she knew dangerous hate was coming on, so she channeled that hatred into her dancing. Amu's dancing started to scare Utau, so she decided to change the song to something else. Earning a quick glare from Amu, but it didn't last long. My Demons by Starset came on.
The hatred died down, this song reflected her mind. A sickness was taking over, and Ikuto wasn't helping. Amu's movements were calming down, then suddenly she stopped, she knew what song would be perfect for the emotion that was starting to form in herself. Utau was a little confused but let her change the music. Amu picked Miracle by Cascada.
She let her world be wrapped up in the music. She realized that she liked Ikuto, enough to be hurt when he chose Saaya. She wanted Ikuto to look at her, every time she looked at him he only showed looks of brotherliness. She wanted to be noticed by Ikuto. She wanted him to give her a chance to love him. She couldn't help it, she knew it was wrong. After all, she wouldn't be there for long. She couldn't help it though, her emotions and heart had taken over her head. The song showed the heartbreak that Amu was feeling. Ikuto had clearly chosen the liar, he hadn't even looked at the situation closely. He had automatically assumed that Amu was the attacker.
Utau listened to the song, then looked at Amu. She had thought these were Amu's feelings before, but now she was positive. Utau looked at Amu with pity, 'my brother is such a clueless jerk,' she thought sadly. Amu truly looked beautiful now. This dance wasn't showing the shallow surface feelings of some of the earlier songs, this was Amu, deep down, all layers and walls taken away. This was Amu. Her inner voice was finally breaking out of its shell, if only it wasn't coming out for so sad a reason. Utau pulled out her phone and began to secretly video tape Amu dancing. 'Maybe I'll show this to Ikuto later.' Utau loved both her brother and Amu, and she would do anything to help them out.
When the song ended, Amu knelt down, she had forgotten that Utau was there, so she started to silently cry. Utau turned off the recorder after videotaping a bit of Amu's crying and rushed to her friend. She rubbed Amu's back then pulled back her hair, to see a white scar in the shape of a slash. It looked like a wound made from a bullet grazing her skin. Utau decided to wait to ask that, right now Amu didn't need questioning. Right now Amu needed comfort. Utau only wished that Ikuto had been there to soothe Amu, but her idiotic brother wasn't there right now, so Utau did the comforting. 'If only Ikuto knew what damage he did to poor Amu,' Utau thought remorsefully.
