Bonus Chapter: One Month

It was a scorching day. Ugh! Why does it have to be so hot! Ikuto and I were at the beach. (This can't go well now can it?) He came up from behind me and sat me in his lap. Ahhh Ikuto without a shirt on! WAIT! Maybe he's thinking, 'ahh Amu in a swimsuit.' Well! Better knock those thoughts right out of his head!

"Thinking pervy thoughts?" Ikuto questioned me.

"WHAT?! NO! YOU ARE!" I objected.

Oh and did I say? Ikuto and I have been dating for….one month now? Yes! Exactly one month now. I guess the reason we were even at the beach without any of our other friends was to celebrate actually going out for a month. A month. Una mes. Hitotsuki. One whole month without getting on each other's nerves. One month without throwing a chair at Ikuto for thinking something perverted then turning it into something strange to make it look like I was at fault to begin with. We were at bliss. Oh? I forgot to mention, I finally gave into Ikuto calling be contradictory. I suppose I am kind of…

"YOU ARE THE ONE THINKING PERVERTED THOUGHTS!" I screeched.

"You see how easy things so once you've realized you're contradictory?" Ikuto beckoned as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I turned around and stood on my knees. I brought my arms around Ikuto's neck as his grip around my waist tightened. I looked into those translucent midnight blue eyes. I could just swim in them. Swim? That sounds like a good idea. But not before this…. I caught Ikuto off guard and kissed him…..passionately. Before he could respond and kiss back, I pulled away and snatched out of his grip. I started running towards the ocean evading all the other people out here on this damn hot day. I jumped in and started swimming.

Here is a fun fact….I thought Ikuto, being a cat and all, would be afraid of water. (He is a CAT, lol, he clarified that nicely to Tadase in one of chapters. I'm glad you guys liked that. I got a lot of reviews about that part.) But not Ikuto, NOOO, he's not afraid of water. He dived right in. The thing is, YORU is the cat part of Ikuto. YORU is afraid of water. But, now, Ikuto has not chara changed with YORU at this point in time, therefore the water phobia part of YORU will not come out. Ikuto quickly caught up and grabbed me, both of us tumbling around in the water. Everyone around us just smiled at the cute couple. Lovely. After our little fit and outburst of laughter, Ikuto and I stood up. He had once again retrieved me by holding me around the waist. He was about to, I repeat ABOUT TO, kiss me when a stupid crab bit me on my big toe. My eyes watered.

Ikuto worriedly asked, "Amu? What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"A…A….a….." I started on the verge of tears because the crab was NOT letting go, yet pinching even tighter.

"A…what?" Ikuto pushed. He really wanted to make me feel better.

"A CRAB IS ON MY TOE!" I yelled running towards the beach in attempts to get the crab off of my foot.

I had no luck as the crab was still on my foot as I got back to the little area Ikuto and I had claimed for the day on the beach.

Ikuto was still in the water….sweatdropping.

"She was freaking out over a little sand crab?" he whispered to himself… he let out a small unnoticeable smile, "girls…" he muttered as he started trudging towards me.

I was whimpering, not wanting the touch the crab to get it off, but wanting the crab to leave on its own. Ikuto came by, leaned down, and gently pulled the crab off. He then dug a small hole with his hand a couple of feet away, put the crab in, and covered the hole. (No, the crab wasn't dead…-__-)

When Ikuto came back, he saw me nurturing my toe. I then stated, "I'm not going back in the water for a while…" with a stubborn look on my face.

He chuckled at my fear of crabs. "Well then. For saving your life from the oh so scary crab, you need to pay your bill."

That was the last thing he said before coming down and kissing me. He leaned over me and was supporting himself with his arms as I was leaning back supporting myself with my arms. We went into a deep make out session and I really hoped people weren't staring. Then again, I hoped that people WERE staring because I wanted everyone to know that Ikuto was mine, and only mine. (Greedy much?)

After a couple of minutes of that, Ikuto pulled away. We built sand castles for the rest of the day, snagging kisses from each other.

There was this one castle that Ikuto and I built that was just about the cutest little thing ever.

"This would be our house…if we ever were to get married." He said. Of course we couldn't think about this yet, but it's fun to dream isn't it?

"And this," he pointed to the back of the castle/house. (Ikuto's wealthy…he can afford a castle) "is our pool." I looked at the little groove he had dug. I didn't know Ikuto could build sand castles too! Wow….how perfect can a guy get? "And this…" he continued, "is our pet crab…named Hermy." I slapped Ikuto playfully on the shoulder. Forget I ever thought anything about his perfection.

"Ow, that hurt." He fake pouted.

"Hmph, well that's what you get for making fun of my fear of crabs."

"You're going to have to paaayyy!!" he whistled into my ear. He then spun me around at pecked my lips.

"Let's go get some dinner." He said while getting up and extending an arm to help me get up too.

(they're staying at a nice hotel…. Just pretend…that ummm Amu's parents are like out of town with Ami)

At the hotel:

I picked out the dandiest little outfit and Ikuto came out with dress pants, a polo shirt, and dress shoes. (They were both in separate rooms…don't get any ideas!)

"That looks cute on you." He said giving me a little kiss.

"Thanks! You look great too!" I said ecstatic.

We went to a great restaurant and ate dinner. Afterwards, we walked the boardwalk, admiring all the nice scenes. We came to a stop at the railing of one part of the boardwalk. I was gazing at the almost gone sun. (It's around 9….it's summer remember? The sun goes down pretty late I think) My eyes were entranced with the beauty of the sun that I didn't notice Ikuto come up from behind me and wrap his arms around me…wait no. He put something around my neck.

I looked down to see just the most beautiful white gold necklace with a small heart pendant at the end of it shimmering in the lingering light of the setting sun on my neck. I turned around, exasperated, "Ikuto!" I hugged him tightly.
"Happy one month anniversary." He whispered into my ear so only I could hear.

Now this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

We headed back to the hotel. It was around 1 AM. I crept into bed and closed my eyes. A half an hour had passed…darn I can't sleep. It's now 1:30 and I was wide awake…well I KNOW I'm not going to fall asleep. I'll go see what Ikuto's doing.

I lightly knocked on his door. Out came Ikuto, he was in only pajama pants and had a towel around his neck. I blushed at this as he smirked.

"Can't sleep?" he asked.

"Nope…" I agreed.

"Well then…" He flicked on the TV, and popped in a nice romance/comedy movie. "I brought a movie just in case this happened."

He sat down on the couch in front of the TV and I sat next to him. I curled up into his chest as we started watching.

By the time the movie was over, I was fast asleep. Ikuto picked me up, brought me to my room, and laid me down in my bed as he too went back to his room to get a good night's rest…
