--Confusion, then the Truth--

It was the last class of the day and poor Amu couldnt take the thought of Tadase and Ikuto kissing her. The thought of it ate her alive. Whenever the teacher called on her she would just turn and answer the teacher calmly. When the bell rang she just quietly stood and made her way out of the school. Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia tried talking to her but she just wouldnt reply, she seemed too... sad. Why would she be sad you ask, she is sad that she does not know who she really likes, or maybe even love... shes confused, very confused. As she walked home these thoughts kept on floating in her head nonstop so she decided to go to the park and think some things out. When she arrived at the park she sat on a swing as he charas made their way to the slides. She was looking down at her feet thinking why, why her. She doesnt want to deal with these kind of things its, its just too much. A couple of moments later a tear fell down her face from the frustration and confusion she is feeling. Just then she heard a voice.

"Amu-chan" She looked up with her sorrowfull eyes and see's that its Nadishiko.

"Na-Nadishiko" She said as she wiped the tears off her face. "What are you doing here?" Nadishiko has been out to a relatives over the summer and he missed the first two days of school. He mustve came to school today but Amu musn't have noticed because of her little problem. Nadishiko told her about his secret and Amu was shocked, but it still didnt change the fact that theyre still good friends.

"Well, I arrived today from my relatives but i never got to see you today and i talked to Kukai and well, he told me that something was bothering you so i figured you came to the park." He then sat on the swing next to Amu and waited to listen to what she had to say. That Nadishiko, hes always there at the right time.

"Oh..." Amu responded with a sorta sigh as she looked down. "Im confused..." Amu said in a sad and weak tone.

"Why is that?" He said, looking at her as tears once again flowed down her face.

"Im confused because of... why... why me... why did Tadase-kun and Ikuto have to kiss me! I was glad, extatic even, for the first days of school and what would be comming my way but... why this? I know i like Tadase-kun, I always have but now... now i dont know how i feel about him"

"And Ikuto?" Nadishiko replied, Amu then started calming down, wiping the tears off her face.

"I-Ikuto..." She then blushed a bit.

"I-I dont know i never really had a liking to him but whenever he was around it was wierd. I dont think i like him because... its just too different from the way i felt about Tadase-kun. "Amu then turned and looked at Nadishiko.Nadishiko stared but then looked up at the sky.It was about 4 pm...

"You know Amu-chan, life isnt always the way you would like it to be. It always has something unexpected around the corner, but there is one thing you can do." Amu looked at him as she awaited the answer that she hoped would help her with her problem.

"You can either sit here and sob over how confused you are or you can really think of who tries there best for you, helps you, cares for you, risk their life even, for you. You might not know now who you really like but if you think about those kind of things then im sure you will relize the truth to who you like." Amu looked at Nadishiko with bright golden eyes, wide open, but then she closed them and said...

"Hmph Nadishiko you always know what to say." she said as she gave him a smile, he olny looked and smiled back. Then they started swinging.

"So Amu-chan" he said swinging higher and higher while she only swung back and forth slowly.

"Yes"

"How was your summer? Where things boring here without me?" saying this in a teasingly manner.

"Actually no, It was much quieter and peacefull to tell you the truth." She seemed to be feeling better because she started teasing. Nadishiko then stopped and looked at her then got up and stopped her swing, he looked straight at her. She then blushed but right when he saw her blush he cracked up.

"Ah! Why do you have to do that Nadishiko!" She then stood up, pushed Nadishiko out of the way and walked away towards the slide.

"No, no, Amu-chan please wait, Amu-chan!"He said chasing her still laughing his head off.

After about thirty minutes of playing around and talking to Nadishiko they parted ways and left home. One the way, Amu thought of what Nadishiko said "Think of who tries there best for you, helps you, cares for you, risk their life even, for you". She thought and thought on her way home, at cases Tadase always helped her in any way he could and since he told her he loved her then im sure that means he cares for her but when it comes to Ikuto, hes always there for her and does everything Tadase would but, better. It was just too confusing for her even if its obvious. Poor Amu shes just too oblivious. As she keeps on walking she see's Tadase in front of her house, seems like hes about to go in. She gasps and turns around until

"Oh, Hinamori-san." Dang he saw her. "Can we talk for a minute?" Amu then walks towards him.

"Yes, Tadase-kun?" She answers.

"Well i wanted to know th-that if you thought about yesterday?" He was all blushed out but for some reason Amu seemed calm and didnt blush as she occasionally would.

"Yeah, Ive been thinking alot about it..." She looked down, getting some air to be able to say what shes about to say.

"A-And?" He replied in antisipation

"W-Well Tadase-kun I-" She stopped. All of a sudden she sees Ikuto on top of a tree watching as theyre talking.

"I-Ikuto!?." She then blushed furiously and Tadase saw the reaction she had when she saw Ikuto. Tadase turned around and gave him a glare as Ikuto jumps down from the tree.

"Tskuyimie Ikuto" he said with anger. Ikuto looks at Tadase then turns to Amu.

"So Amu" She looks up with a blushed look on her face "Whats your answer?" he said standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Huh?" she replied confused.

"To Tadase's quiestion, what's the answer?" She looke at both. She didnt know what to say with both of them there.

"Ikuto, just leave, this is none of your business!" Tadase said very angry.

"Actually it is. Im sure you asked her if she liked you so i would like to know what shes going to say." He said staring at Amu. She knew. She knew the reason why Ikuto was really there.

"No, Ikuto, leave us alone! I wont have you listening to our conversation!" Ikuto just stood there waiting for Amu to answer. All of a sudden she felt a tear fall from her face. She had such sad eyes, Ikuto saw how this was affecting her. Tadase didnt even notice for he was only telling Ikuto to leave, then he turned and saw Amu, crying. Ikuto just sighs.

"Ok, then i guess Ill just see you later Amu." he turns around and leaves.

"Finally" Tadase says as he turns around and looks at Amu but she only kept on looking at Ikuto as he left. "Hinamori-san" Amu looks at Tadase and stops crying. Why does Ikuto always make her feel this way?

"Tadase-kun..." Amu said."I-Ill talk to you tommarrow." as she headed for her door and went in. Tadase was only left there, stunned, depressed, and confused. He didnt know what just happened. She just left without an answer. He then started walking home.

It was now dark. Amu has finished all of her work and things to do around the house. Tadase has called her a few times wanting to know what happened a while ago but Amu never answered his calls. She was tired of him doing this to her, he was just too pushy now. She then layed comfortably on her bed, her charas where already asleep. She closed her eyes and all of a sudden a picture of a blue-haired cat boy appeared. She felt calm and thought of when he would always help her when she needed it, like that time when they took Su. Also when he would always cheer her up when he did something bad, just like when he tricked her and took her to the amusment park. She also thought of every moment she spent with him, they always shared their most private thoughts for some reason, she just felt comfortable talking to him. All of a sudden a blush appeared from her face, she seemed to always blush whenever he was close to her, shoot she blushed when she thought of him. She then opened her eyes and relized something. She slowly took a deep breath and stood from her bed.

"I-I like Ikuto" She was amazed but then thought, "No that isnt it" she thought to herself. "I love him"
