Chapter 14- Not your onii-chan

"She has befriended that Hoshina Utau…" Ikuto looked at Amu and Utau who were sitting under the tree. They were laughing so happily, having so much fun.

"Ikuto is my onii-chan. And I bet he treats me as his imouto-san." These words kept repeating in his mind. He just couldn't forget what Amu had said.

"She only treats me as her onii-chan…!" He bashes his hand onto the wall hard, clenching his fists so tightly that his veins can be clearly seen. Ikuto stumped when he saw what he was doing and loosen his grip. "What am I so angry about? Isn't that what I have always wanted to know?!"

The answer about his place in Amu's heart was clear to him, but he didn't want to accept it. He wanted to hear it himself from Amu. And he had finally realized, he love Amu, not as his imouto-san.

The whole day, he couldn't concentrate himself. He kept staring at Amu making her feel uncomfortable.

"I can feel it. I know Ikuto is staring at me, but for what?!" Amu was sweating all over, she was trembling from head to toe.

..

Ring. Ring. The bell rung and it's the end of school.

Amu immediately turned around to confront Ikuto, but he had disappeared. 'Iku-... Eh?! Where is he?'

'He went out immediately after the bell rung…' Utau was sad as she didn't have the chance to talk to Ikuto for the whole day.

'Oh. Well then, see you tomorrow Utau-chan.' Amu packed her bag and walked out of the class.

..

Amu walking on the streets on her way back home. Her mind was focused on what she had said to Utau, the memories of how she and Ikuto first met. It was strange, a sweet boy like Ikuto could change so much, right after that awful accident. (I'll tell you what this accident is... next time :x)

Ring. The bell of a bicycle sounded. It was heading towards Amu, but Amu didn't hear it.

When the bicycle was going to crash into Amu, she was pulled into a corner suddenly, into someone's chest. 'Oi. Watch where you walk' Ikuto said coldly to her, his hand tightened on Amu shoulders. He let go of her when Amu had no reaction at all, and walks away, ignoring her.

Amu stood there stuned before coming back to reality. She chased after Ikuto immediately when he walked away. 'Wait! Ikuto' She held onto Ikuto's clothe. Ikuto looked at Amu in surprised. 'I have something to ask you.'

..

The two of them walked quietly on the street. A drizzle was starting, but they continued to walk on the street.

Amu was wondering how she should asked Ikuto about Utau. Ikuto was getting impatient from the silence treatment he was having. 'If you are not going to say anything, I will go home now.'

Ikuto was about to walked away in another direction when Amu called him. 'IKUTO! I-I want to ask you about…'

Ikuto stopped in his track and turned to look at her, full of expectation of what she was going to ask.

'About how you feel of…' Amu's face turned red. Ikuto looked at her in amusement, his heart beating faster. 'What do you think of Hoshina Utau?!' Amu looked straight in the eyes of Ikuto, her heart beating rapidly. Ikuto was stumped that Amu asked him about Utau, he felt depressed.

'A bug' He said without hesitation and without much thinking.

'Eh!? Bug? What do you meaning.' Amu was stun by Ikuto's answer. "How can Utau-chan be like a bug?!"

'A bug that keeps pestering you and wouldn't get off once attached to you. No matter how many times you push her away…'

Amu was sweating when she heard his answer. "How am I going to tell Utau that Ikuto thinks of her as a bug!?" 'That means you don't like Utau…?'

'Tell her to give up.' Ikuto walked towards Amu, he was feeling all motivated to ask Amu about her feelings towards him too.

'But… But Utau will be so heartbroken…' Amu looked at Ikuto with "pleading" eyes. 'You don't know her well yet so you feel that way. How about going out with Utau for a start? Maybe then…'

'WHAT ABOUT MY FEELINGS?!' Ikuto burst out what he thought he was thinking in his mind. He immediately averted his face away from Amu when he noticed he said that out loud. His face was getting hot.

'Your feelings…' Amu noticed that she had been neglecting Ikuto's feeling from the start of their conversation. 'Sorry… Ikuto I...'

Ikuto pinned Amu to the wall and looked at her emotionally, like he wanted to say something important to her, or kiss her. Ikuto placed his hand onto Amu's cheek and pushed her head up to look at him straight in the eye.

'Ikuto… What are... you doing?' Stuttering and trembling all over her body. Amu starts to blush madly, and getting scared of Ikuto at the same time. 'You... are acting weird!' Amu didn't dare to look into Ikuto eyes. She could feel her face burning up.

Ikuto moved closer and closer to her, so close that she could only see his eyes and nothing else.

'Amu… I…' Ikuto flinched away from her when he remembered what Amu had told Utau before. 'I don't want to be your onii-chan.' He said to the shocked Amu before he left, not a word of goodbye. When he walked away from Amu, he whispered softly to himself. 'I love you...' and clenched his fist.

'Ikuto…' Amu was left standing beside the wall, looking daze and puzzled. The rain had gotten heavier, raindrops wetted her whole body, but she didn't budge from the wall.

She bowed her head letting the rain mask her tears. She whispered 'I don't want to be your imouto either...' She started to think about the meaning of his sentence. Yet she was confused. 'I can't leave the relationship we had to ruin… I must talk to him!'

..

Amu stood in front of the gate to Ikuto's house. She nervously pushed the bell.

Ding Dong. Ding Dong. No answer. Amu waited for a while, then pushed the door. As expected, the door creaked opened. She entered the house, scanning the house for Ikuto, but he was nowhere in sight. Amu took off her wet coat and threw it onto the nearest chair. The rain reached her skin and she was all wet.

As Amu climbed up the staircase, she felt a slight headache. When she reached in the dark hallway, the power fell and there was no light. She spotted Ikuto's door slightly opened and decided to come in.

'Ikuto?'

His eyes got wide open seeing her then and there, and her face turned red, because she found herself staring at his bare wet chest. The water was slowly dripping from his blue hair straps and reaching on his strong shoulders. A lighting stroked roughly and she flinched.

'What do you want?' Ikuto said, not trying to cover himself.

Amu approached him slowly and looked deeply in his eyes. 'I want the truth… Tell me what do you meant back there?' She clenched her fists scared of what he will answer.

'It doesn't matter anym-' He averted his face from Amu.

Amu interrupted him. 'It does matter. Dammit!'

She was dead serious and Ikuto couldn't control his emotions anymore. She was way too cute all wet and serious. It made him wonder about her own feelings.

'Okay Amu… I'll tell you' He was feeling nervous, and so was Amu, in the air being a breathtaking tension they both could feel it.

'Amu… I...' Boom. The thunder roared, deafening the ears.

Amu couldn't hear what Ikuto said, but she was scared by the loud noise, and step backwards. She felt the sudden headache again and clapped her hands onto her head, and kneel down on the floor. It was not long before Amu fell unconcious.

The start of Ikuto's confession. Hehe (:
