Recapture moment.
"Dad fainted again."
Amu was hand in hand with Yukito at the school. They both exchanged pleasant grins to each other and continued proceeding down the hallway. Then, everything went black for Amu.
"Yukito?" She called for him frightened.
She caught sight of him so she decided to make her way to him. She then paused knowing he was talking with Lily.
Lily grasped his arms and peered up to him with deep sadness. "It won't be the same without you."
Amu grew alarmed when Yukito was reaching out to stroke her face. "I'll go with you."
No…
"I'll promise to stay by your side." He implied gently caressing her face.
Yukito…
"I will forever promise to always love you." He said and began leaning in to kiss her.
NO! Yukito!
"WAH!" The shout of a guy quickly awoke Amu.
Amu jumped up a little startled and laid her hand on her chest. "Thank God it was a dream."
But then again, what about that scream?
Amu hopped out of bed and went downstairs to see what the ruckus was about. When she reached the guest room she figured she should have known all along.
"Good morning Onee Chan!" Ami greeted her sister happily wrapped in layers of blankets.
Amu looked to Shugo facing the wall and tapped her foot disappointed. "Did you attack Shugo again Ami?"
"NO!" Ami replied, but Shugo sprang up from his corner far from convinced.
"When I woke up you were right in front of my face!" He screamed.
Ami pouted and threw a tantrum. "I was just sleeping with you! And besides you had your arms all around me!"
Shugo flared a little red. "That's because I thought you were the pillow!"
Ami goggled eyes to Shugo. "You snuggle with your pillows at night?"
"No!"
"Well then can I be your pillow?"
"No! Now get out!" Shugo tossed Ami to Amu slightly causing her to waver.
Amu exited the room holding Ami and closed the door gently. Once they made it out of the room she threw her sister on the couch.
"Ami, you shouldn't be in a guy's room all by yourself." She scorned her and crossed her arms.
Ami took the matter lightly and shrugged. "But why? He knows he liked it anyways."
Amu darted the serious look to her sister. "I mean it, it's dangerous. Just have a date with him. Okay?"
"Fine." Ami sighed and hopped upstairs to get ready.
Amu ran upstairs when she heard her phone ringing.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Amu I can't pick you up for school this morning sorry." Yukito answered seeming he was in a hurry.
Amu smiled and replied. "Its fine Yukito I'll just see you at school then."
"Okay." He replied and shortly hung up afterwards.
Amu questioned what Yukito was up to? She even thought maybe her dream may play something in her life in the future, but quickly headed to get ready for school.
Once she was ready for school she headed downstairs to find Ami clinging onto Shugo.
"Ami." She alerted causing her sister to slowly back away from Shugo.
"Let's go." Shugo said and they all headed to his car.
In the car, Amu thought it was adorable how Ami and Shugo were giving off a quarreling married couple aura.
"Why can't you admit you're wrong and say that Justin Bieber is a good singer?" Ami pouted.
Shugo gripped onto the steering wheel a bit irritated. "Why can't you admit that I don't care?"
"About Justin Bieber or me?" Ami said wounded in the heart.
"Not about him! Idiot-ah just forget it!" Shugo said slightly angered and embarrassed.
Ami gasped appalled. "You can't even admit your own feelings."
Shugo flushed red and stepped on the gas pedal harder. "ABOUT WHAT?"
"About Justin Bieber!"
"Oh lord." Amu complained sighing.
Although she thought the two of them were adorable, the minute Shugo parked the car she practically ran frantically away from them. A few seconds later she found Yaya lovingly tugging Kairi's arm. "Hey Ami Chi!"
"Hinamori." Kairi greeted her and pushed up his glasses.
"H-Hey guys." She said breathlessly.
Yaya helped her friend stand straightly and giggled. "We're going to go out for some ice cream after Karate lessons. You can bring Yukito and it can be a double date."
Kairi sighed. "Yaya, for the thirtieth time we are not going on a date."
"Silly goose," Yaya smiled then whispered to Amu. "He's shy."
Kairi mumbled a few words then looked away. "I'll start heading to the office now so I'll just dismiss myself from you two."
"I'm glad he finally asked you out on a date Yaya!" Amu congratulated her enthusiastically.
Yaya toggled her eyes away from Kairi when he was out of sight and looked to Amu. "It's not; I made a bet if I can pin him on the ground he'd take me out for ice cream and I succeeded."
Amu countered to Yaya in amazement. "Yaya you can really pin someone on the ground?"
"No," Yaya responded with a snicker. "I paid the janitor to mop of the floors before we went."
Amu shook her head and laughed at her determined friend.
BRIIIIIIIING! The bell alerted them and the two headed to their classes.
Shugo marched out of his classroom and groaned. "The hell do you want?"
Ami gasped. "Is that any way to talk to your girlfriend?"
"You mean prete-." Shugo added, but Ami quickly shielded his mouth and giggled.
"Shugo dear, I think you're being way to chatty today."
"Ami I think you're way to chatty everyday." Shugo complained causing Ami to huff.
Before Amu said anything, she noticed Yukito heading into the library with Lily.
"Come on." She tugged Shugo alongside with her, and followed the couple.
Yukito and Lily sat down at the very back of the library so no one was in sight.
"You're taking way too much time to see me." Yukito said leaning on a nearby table.
Lilly's light brown eyes frowned. "But, you've been gone for three months. I missed you."
Meanwhile, eaves dropping a few feet over and hiding behind a nearby book case was Ami and Shugo.
"Did you hear that? She misses him!" She stirred up excitedly.
Her boyfriend cared less; practically slumped down on the floor. "So?"
"So," She scoffed. "She's clearly saying I love you."
He stared at her glumly. "That doesn't mean I love you idiot."
"Even so, I think you're just being a hindrance here. " Yukito spook firmly to her.
"B-But Yukito, I'm just here to say that you didn't hurt me that time I actually-." Lily stated, but was halted by Yukito slowly backing away from her.
He glanced at the clock, then her. "I need to go now. I'll be late."
Yukito dismissed himself; leaving a sad, cheerless Lily.
"I understand your pain." Ami peered from behind the book case almost bawling.
"Let's go now." Shugo complained and scooped her up; throwing her on his back.
Amu observed her spunky friend smash buttons, then growl once she stopped texting on her phone.
"Rima?" She questioned a little intimidated.
"Yes?" Rima replied softly with a smile; Thus, startling Amu.
She felt Rima's forehead to make sure she was fine. "Are you okay? You're not sick are you?"
Rima slammed her phone on the desk quieting everyone. "He hasn't texted me after I texted five times!"
Amu laughed nervously. "Rima, it's probably because he's busy with school work and his dancing."
"Or that bastard might be cheating on me with another guy!" She yelled atrociously.
The classrooms attention was all fixated on her. Rima didn't care. She didn't even regret she said those things. Then, she remembered Naghiko's text
I love you so infinitely much Rima!
-Nagi boo
"The hell are you all looking at?" She glared at them then sat down. "Love my ass Naghiko."
Amu decided to drop the subject and remain quiet the rest of the class. The next class she had to attend was physics. She had to admit she wasn't that hyped up than usual.
She took her seat and noticed Yukito's desk empty next to hers. That wasn't the only desk missing. So was Lily. Just where were they?
Finally, a minute before the bell rang Amu noticed Yukito walk in right before Lily. He took his seat beside Amu and gave her a quick smile as if nothing had happened.
"Students, don't forget tomorrow is your physical exam. All students are required to take the exam in order to advance to the grade. Thank you." A voice from the intercom spoke.
Great Amu sighed. What could get worse? She was already worried about the relationship between Yukito and Lily, but now she has to worry about some dumb physical exam.
"Now class pair up groups of three." The teacher clapped twice.
Amu's thoughts untwined when Yukito scooted his desk over to hers. "Earth to Princess, your Prince Charming has arrived."
"Ha-ha." Amu laughed dryly. "You're hilarious."
Yukito's warm hand hit Amu's forehead. "Are you feeling okay what's wrong?"
Amu's face hit red. "E-Eh it's nothing! It's just the weather."
Amu looked away when she could tell Yukito wasn't buying a word she said. She fixed her gaze on Lily, who was all alone and glancing their way.
Although she didn't think it was the best idea. Her conscience was telling her other wise.
"We should invite her in our group." Amu suggested with a smile.
"We don't have to." Yukito rushed a little bothered.
Amu's brows rose up. "Why not? She's your childhood friend. What's the problem?"
Yukito sighed. "Nothing. Fine, if you really want."
Amu strolled over to Lily with a smile. "We'd like for you to be in our group."
"R-really?" Lily questioned.
"Yeah," Amu replied back with a wider grin. "Come on."
The minute Lily sat down Yukito crossed his arms and leaned back into his chair.
"So," Amu said breaking the silence. "How long have you two known each other?"
Yukito remained sitting in his same posture silent. Lily decided to speak up. "Ever since we were three. When did you and Yukito start dating?"
Amu played around with her fingers feeling a bit embarrassed and happy. "Four days."
"Four days," Lily exclaimed excitedly. "That's great!"
"We should start working now." Yukito butted between the two girls rudely.
Amu grimaced upon examining the assignment. "Looks complicated."
Yukito took the paper and examined it himself. "Not really, the basic principle of this is to find the specific heat used in the equation."
"Me no comprende." Amu replied confused
Lily snapped her fingers. "Oh! And for this one we determine different contact that comes between the specified objects."
"SAY WHAT?"
Although Amu had no idea they were talking about they all had fun. She realized she was wasting her time worrying about Lily all along. She liked Lily; she was very easy talk to and had no problem being paired up with the two.
"Yeah, I'm surprised because I never really get along with people this fast like you." Amu said smiling to Lily.
Lily gasped. "Really? Me too! I get all self conscious when meeting people!"
Amu laughed and noticed a band on her arm familiar to an anime character she had watched. She hesitated to ask, but asked anyways. "Do you by any chance love Fruits Basket?"
Lily's smile deepened and she giggled. "Yes I do!"
Amu exchanged another warm smile. "Okay, now on the count of three name your favorite character. One…two…three."
"KYO!" They both screamed and linked hands together happily.
A lone Yukito was still set in the same posture. "You two are so alike it's creepy."
BRIIIING! The bell rang dismissing the rest of the class.
"Give me your number Lily!" Amu said taking out her phone.
Lily didn't hesitate to answer and replied back with a warm smile. "XXX-XXX-XXXX."
Amu saved her number and shut her phone. "I'll text you right after school. We could hang out later."
Yukito swung Amu's bag around his back and glanced at Lily. "Probably not, don't you have something you need to do after school Lily?"
Lily's bright smile faded into a tight frown. "You're right."
Before Amu could question Yukito was heading out of the room. "Later then. Come on Amu."
She turned back to Lily who was half smiling. "Bye Amu, I'll see you tomorrow."
After school ended, Kairi had a debt to pay with Yaya at the ice cream shop.
"I take it that you fancy sweets?" Kairi concluded while looking at Yaya almost devouring her half.
Yaya stopped eating the ice cream and wiped her face with a napkin. She shot him a look. "Yeah, but what about you?"
"I'm not very fond of sweets." Kairi responded dully.
"Boring!" Yaya cried out and shoved a spoon full of ice cream in her mouth.
Kairi looked to this girl appalled. "What?"
Yaya inserted another spoonful in her mouth and pointed her spoon to him. "Loosen up! No one can understand you when you're talking like you're a walking dictionary!"
"Loosen up?" He questioned. "Define the manner of loosening up?"
He grew shocked once again as Yaya was giggling at him. "There's no definition silly. It just means be yourself."
"Let loose." He repeated and looked to her in awe.
"Yes," Yaya replied and gave Kairi a spoonful of ice cream.
Yaya giggled amusingly as he grew shocked and had a brain freeze.
"What is this tingling sensation? Why am I feeling the chilling impulse reaching to my very brain?"
Yaya busted out laughing and the two enjoyed eating ice cream together.
"Shugo do you think I'll make a great Mom?" Ami said peering up at him.
"What? Why?" Shugo yelled disturbed.
She chuckled at how he was getting so worked up about the conversation. "It's because in Health Class we were learning about natural instincts and we watched a video about a woman and her baby."
Shugo relaxed his arms and started the car. "Oh good, at one point I thought you were wanting to have a-."
"I do want a baby!" Ami exclaimed leaving Shugo tense again.
"ARE YOU CRAZY YOU'RE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL?"
She patted him lightly and calmed him down. "Not now. I'm just saying in the future. And I'd be glad to have it with you!"
Shugo shot red and coughed. "What makes you think I'll be in your future?"
"I'm just hoping." Ami giggled and rested her head on his arm.
As much as Shugo was embarrassed, shocked, and a little scared he didn't budge at all. He thought it was nice to be like this for awhile and had to keep his cool at a time like this. Of course he lost his cool when Ami brought up another statement.
"And, you already have my parent's blessing." Ami giggled.
Shugo swerved a little turning red again. "Don't say unwanted things idiot!"
The following morning Amu woke up to a pleasant day. Once she was ready for school she met her sister cuddling with Shugo.
"Hey guys." Amu greeted them.
"Good morning Onee Chan!" Ami responded while still hanging onto his arms.
Amu felt a buzz in her pocket and almost dropped the phone when reading the text.
STUPID PHYSICAL TODAY! FML! :/
-Rima
Amu dashed upstairs to find her tennis shoes and missed a step downstairs tumbling for the ground.
"And you're safe!" Yukito grinned while catching her in his arms.
Amu nearly fainted catching her breath. "T-Thank you Yukito."
"No problem Princess." He replied and kissed her softly on the lips.
After the kiss, Yukito smirked at the two watching them. "You've reached second base yet?"
"No!" Shugo said quickly turning around.
Ami linked arms with him and headed outside. "We will soon though!"
"Ami!" Shugo remarked making Ami and Yukito laugh.
On the way to school, Amu ruffled her hair frustrated. "Ugh, I don't' want to do the physical exam!"
"P-Physical exam?" Yukito questioned tensely.
Amu examined his worried expression. "Why what's wrong?"
"I-it's nothing, it's just that she might-."
"Who Lily? Why what's wrong with Lily?" Amu asked trying to seek the truth from Yukito.
"Nothing, it's nothing. You shouldn't worry, and I shouldn't either." He implied raising his voice a little.
Amu was baffled. What was wrong with Yukito? She even thought at the time that he might really care for her.
He gave her a goodbye kiss and left without saying a word. Amu was puzzled and had this gut feeling something would go wrong. She had to get to the bottom of this.
By the time it was around 10:00 the eleventh grade students headed outside to take the physical. Swarms and swarms of groups were surrounding the wandering Amu.
"Last name A-H line up at the stating place!" The coach said blowing the whistle.
She noticed Lily walking up to the line and headed towards her. She was cautious about wanting to come strong, but she was frustrated and tried most of all.
"Lily I have to talk to you about something."
"Hey Amu, what is it?" Lily said pleasantly.
"What happened between you and Yukito?" Ami questioned nailing Lily right on the spot.
She noticed Lily's expression changed and watched her speedily make it passed some people.
How is she sick, but she can run like a marathon runner?
Still as determined as Amu was, she caught up to her and ran along her pace. "Lily please tell me about what happened between you and him."
"I can't." Lily stated sadly and tried surpassing Amu.
Amu watched as time slowly passed as Lily suddenly dove into the ground fainting.
LILY!
MLK DAY! WOOT WOOT! :DD
