That Illegal Kiss... – Chapter 9/Dance Date –
[Heya my people! So glad that this story has been getting such good feedback :D. So welcome to chapter 9, what is going to happen in this chapter I wonder? It's finally the date of the dance performance. Ikuto has been biting his tongue to keep to his promise with Amu and be kind to Kukai and teaching him the dance routine. Amu has also made Ikuto promise to try to restrain himself from kissing her until she had made up her mind to be with him or not. Please R&R/Fave/Follow. I do not own Shugo Chara! or the characters involved, only the storyline.]
P.S-I'm sorry for once again uploading later than Friday as I had originally planned...I've been having difficulties with my laptop which is extremely old and seems to be on its last legs (not so happy about it ... and to top it off I have also been undergoing some health problems. I would have uploaded sooner but I have been recovering from a procedure that I had done on Saturday. I hope you can all forgive me. I will try my best to not allow this to happen again. Thanks once again to everyone for your on-going support, it means sooooo much to me, you have no idea :) - Now to continue with the story! :D
Amu stood back stage, staring at her reflection, she breathed in a deep breath as she put the finishing touches on her makeup. She knew that this was going to be one of the biggest nights of her life. Her workmates and family were sat out in the front, they had reserved their seats. Ikuto had the smart idea of mimicking her look from work. She was wearing ripped footless tights and a one sleeved tight crop top, the waist on the right side was cut out showing her curves. She turned to the side as she stared at her breasts, they had grown and were just above average for someone her age. She sighed as she sat down at her beauty stand. She was flaring her eyeliner to give her smoky eyes a more cat like affect.
Her hair was wavy and she had a small plastic black cat ear head band. Another idea Ikuto decided to dedicate to Mistress Kitten. She only hoped that none of her fans were in the crowd, she was still keeping her identity a secret, Yuu was getting so many customers that some had to be turned away. Mistress Kitten was a massive hit, students from school were even managing to get in. She breathed in one last time as she could hear the crowd screaming down the hallway. Ikuto had added something within the last week, Amu and Kukai were to sing a duet together, Kukai wasn't the strongest singer in the class and this disappointed Amu, she didn't want Ikuto to ruin her chances of getting a talent agent to sign her up.
Ikuto was standing at her door and whistled slightly as she turned around on her seat. 'You look amazing Amu.' He smirked as he put a hand to her cheek, he stared into her hazel eyes as she blushed slightly. 'Is it finally time?' she asked as Kukai came in to the dressing room. 'Yes Amu, it's finally time for you to shine. Just remember that if anyone from the bar recognise you, just stay calm and continue singing.' He soothed as he took her hand and led her over to Kukai's side. 'Take care of her out there Kukai. I don't want you dropping her like in rehearsals.' Ikuto warned as they all began walking down the hallway. 'I won't, we've been practicing a lot Ikuto.' Ikuto gritted his teeth, ever since Amu let his name slip Kukai has been testing him every chance he gets.
'Can you two please not do this now? I am trying to stay calm!' Amu snapped at them both as she took her place on stage right behind the curtain. 'Ikuto you need to go and introduce us. I'll get everyone else into place.' She said calmly as Ikuto nodded and Kukai began to get everyone in to place. The girls followed Amu's lead and by the time Ikuto had gone on the stage with the microphone they were all ready.
Ikuto took in the faces and recognised some of the other guys who he met at the bar and bit the inside of his mouth, it would appear as if they were parents of the students here, he took in a deep breath as he brought the microphone to his mouth. 'Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen to this year's extreme dance showcase. The students in my class have been working hard every day to perfect their routines, they are very excited to prove to you all what hard work and determination really means.' He paused as everyone cheered and applauded. 'I would like to introduce to you, my students dance piece 'Forbidden feelings'.' With that the curtain began to rise and Ikuto walked off the stage clapping before rushing to the side of the stage and turning his microphone off.
The music slowly started as the stage began to come to life. Amu still couldn't believe her eyes as she looked around the stage. There were soft transparent red and pink curtains hanging from the ceiling and covered the floor. He had the stage crew tape everything down so that they wouldn't slip on them. Ikuto had told her once before that he wanted to bring out her personality into the piece, she looked up to see some black crosses hanging from the ceiling, she looked over at him and blushed as he smirked at her.
The dance piece of their performance went off with a hit. The crowd were cheering as Amu and Kukai stood in the middle of the stage in their final position. Kukai was holding Amu close to him and their lips were just inches apart as they panted from the intense dancing. The lights were shut off and crowd began whispering before two of the stage crew ran onto the stage and slipped an earpiece microphone onto their ears. Before they were switched on Amu looked up at Kukai. 'Are you ready for this?' Her heart was pounding as she could see Ikuto behind Kukai in the position he hadn't left since they began their performance. 'Yes Amu. Let's get this done for you.' They smiled and nodded as they both stepped towards the back of the stage where two plastic boxes had been placed, they stepped into their boxes as some music was played to build up the tension. The crowds whispering stopped as they wondered in amazement.
Amu slipped her high heels on and then stood in position with her arms around the back of her head and her left leg bent slightly. Kukai stood in position as he had both hands in his pocket and looked down slightly after sneaking a look at Amu. Small bursts of light appeared on the stage slowly growing longer giving the audience a view of the stage. Amu and Kukai kept their places as the crowd began to scream in excitement. Most of them from Kukai's fan girls, he sighed as the music stopped and there were two spotlights, one on Amu and the other on Kukai.
Amu smirked as the music started and she began singing, Ikuto included a song that she performs at the bar a lot. 'Hush by Emily Osment and Josh Ramsay'
Amu began walking out of her box as she sang, her work colleagues eyes widened as they looked around the room.
You say that you're never gonna leave me
Well two times that ya tell me that ya need me
Well this line is mine, just think about it
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
Don't say you'll never find somebody like me
Well keep quiet baby, I don't wanna to hear you speak
The words you say, they don't mean a thing
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
She stood in front of Kukai's box and puts her back to it and brushed down it before coming up once more. Afterwards she walks down to the front of the stage and holds her hands out to the crowd.
Hush now baby don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt
Hush now baby don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt
She holds her hand to her heart as she thinks about her situation between Ikuto and Kukai and sings her heart out to really express her emotions.
You think I don't know
That you don't mean it,
That you don't mean it.
And you don't think it shows
That I still need it,
That I still need it.
You think I won't go
If you don't feel it,
If you don't feel it.
We fall in, fall out, follow
Hush, hush, hush don't say a word
Kukai walks out of his box and begins to sing as he walks towards the front of the stage as Amu holds her position on the stage. He walks over to her and goes to touch her arm before jerking his arm away and makes his way back to his side of the stage and sings out to the audience.
Hey you say I'm only hearing what I want to
But you don't wanna hear a word of how I need you
And I know we both don't hear a thing
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
So don't say I need to learn to listen to you better
You'll pull it away from me forever
I just can't get my head around it
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
The crowd begin cheering as Amu and Kukai begin singing together, Amu faces Kukai as they slowly walk towards each other, once they meet in the centre of the stage they touch each other's faces.
Hush now baby don't say a word (Hush now baby don't say a word)
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt (You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt)
Hush now baby don't say a word (Hush now baby don't say a word)
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt (You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt)
You think I don't know
That you don't mean it,
That you don't mean it.
And you don't think it shows
That I still need it,
That I still need it.
And you think that I won't go
If you don't feel it,
If you don't feel it.
We fall in, fall out, follow
Hush, hush, hush don't say a word (say a word, say a word, say a word, say a word, say a word)
Amu faces the audience as Kukai hugs onto her curves, she pushes him off of her as he chases her across the stage as they sing their lines. Before they switch and Kukai begins to walk in the other direction, Amu walks over to him and holds him around his shoulders before he shrugs her off.
I know we can't make life make new again
Well I know you wanna back track and start again
I think you know I'm worth fighting for
I think we should hush, don't say a word
I know we can't make life make new again
I know you wanna back track and start again
But I know you think that I'm worth fighting for
I think we should hush, don't say a word
Hush now baby don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt
Hush now baby don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt
You think I don't know
That you don't mean it,
That you don't mean it
And you don't think it shows
That I still need it,
That I still need it
You think that I won't go
If you don't feel it,
If you don't feel it
We fall in, fall out, follow
Hush, hush, hush don't say a word
Amu looks over at Kukai who has Ikuto standing behind him behind the curtain, she pours all of her emotions into her words as she softened her tone and began to walk back, Kukai followed as they once again switched up their lines.
Change my mind
I thought we were fine
This is goodbye
Just one more try
Won't change my mind
I thought we were fine
This is goodbye
One more try
Hush, hush don't say a word
As the song finished both of the teens were off of the stage and out of sight. The curtains fell to signal the end of the show. Amu and Kukai heard their mics switch off as the stage crew came over to them both and unwired them before everyone went onto the stage for the final bow.
The stage crew came onto the stage and bowed before the boy backing dancers, followed by the girls and finally Kukai followed by Amu. The crowd were screaming out and cheering as Amu and Kukai took their bow, Ikuto walked out from behind the students with a bouquet of roses and handed them to Amu. She looked up at him as he smirked down at her so that she could see the small card in the roses.
'Dinner? Xx'
She looked up at him as she blushed and nodded as she kissed his cheek to show appreciation. One of the dads stood up and pointed up at Amu. 'MISTRESS KITTEN!' Amu's attention was brought back to reality as she saw his eyes wide with recognition. She looked back at the other students in her class as some of them realised the truth as well, she sighed as she hugged her roses to her before some of the other parents and students in the crowd jumped up and tried to get on the stage. Amu's work colleagues jumped up and acted as security for her as the curtains closed.
'Shit!' She shouted as she got back to her dressing room and placed her roses on her counter. She felt as if her world was going to come crashing around her before she heard some gentle knocking on her door. 'Who is it?' She asked feeling like her head was about to explode.
'It's me Amu, I have some people who want to meet you.' She tilted her head as she heard Ikuto's voice through the door, she opened the door to see Ikuto stood at the door with Kukai, Utau and two men in suits. 'Can I help you?' She asked with her cool and spicy attitude.
'This is my agent and this is my record producer. They want to talk to you about a possible contract.' Utau stated as she let herself in, Amu noticed how Kukai kept his eyes on Utau's slim figure. He blushed slightly and she thought she saw him bit his bottom lip slightly. Amu sat down on her high chair as Kukai shut the door after following everyone.
'Amu, after watching your performance we weren't going to take any chances of letting the other talent scouts coming in here and grabbing you first.' Utau's agent began to explain as Ikuto stood behind Amu and put his hands on her shoulders, she put a hand over his and looked up at him as he smirked down at her slightly before she looked at them once more.
'So we want to offer you a contract within our company. You can be included in Utau's shows to begin with before making your own way in the world.' The record producer finished off.
'I'm not sure. I still have school and work here. I don't want to be travelling if it affects my studies.' She explained as Utau looked up at Kukai and blushed slightly before giving him the cold shoulder and looking back at Ikuto and Amu. She then stood up pushed her brother back and took Amu's hand to take her to the centre of the room. Amu stood still as Utau circled her slowly. 'What are you looking at Utau?' She asked before feeling her poke her breasts, she jumped back and covered her chest. 'What the hell Utau!?' She yelled before Ikuto took a step forward. 'They've gotten bigger...and they're real...' Utau mumbled before her gaze shot up at Ikuto who had anger written all over his face. 'Interesting...' She smirked as she sat down and Amu walked back over to Ikuto who let her sit back down.
'I just wanted to see what type of girl she could be.' She smirked again as Ikuto put his hands on Amu's shoulders protectively once again. 'Didn't you hear me? I don't want to be a part of your tour. I can't just abandon my studies.' Amu explained as she felt annoyance building inside of her.
'We're not asking you to join right now. You are going to need to train and rehearse first. We want you during your holidays, that way you can still study and work, just know that we know you will be a massive hit.' Utau's agent began explaining as Amu felt Ikuto's grip tighten slightly.
'You can't just make the decision on your own. She still has more productions coming up later this year. Besides I am tutoring her in English and maths at the moment. You can't deprive her of the progress we have made so far.' Ikuto protested as Amu put a hand over his to calm him down. 'We aren't going to take her away from you, don't worry Ikuto. You trust us with your sister so why not your student as well?' The two men smirked at him with snake like smiles, Ikuto could feel rage building up inside of him.
'I don't mind doing a trial run at some local events I suppose. But only on the condition that I can finish school if successful and that I pass all of my grades.' Amu suggested as Ikuto felt as if a brick wall had hit him. 'Are you sure that this is what you want Amu?' He asked slowly.
She nodded and looked up at him. 'It is what I am studying to do among other things. I wouldn't want to throw that opportunity away now would I?' Her eyes widened as she looked back to the two men. 'One more thing, Ikuto is my tutor and performing arts teacher. I want him to come with us on the local tours. I don't want a different choreographer or tutor.' She said as she felt Ikuto's grip loosen back to normal and him let out a small sigh of relief.
'What about me?' Everyone looked up at Kukai who had his arms crossed over his chest. 'What about you?' The agent asked. 'You asked me to come along as well, so tell me why am I here when you seem to be giving only Amu a contract.' He demanded, the frustration clear on his face. Amu and Ikuto looked at each other before Ikuto walked over to Kukai and put an arm over his shoulder and turn him around.
'Are you feeling ok Souma?' He whispered as Kukai looked up at him, Ikuto sighed as he saw Kukai's eyes calm down. 'Yeah, sorry, just a little wound up that Amu might be taken away I guess...' He whispered back before they both turned back. Ikuto made his way over to Amu along with Kukai.
'We do want to sign you up as well Kukai. But just as support for Amu. She has real talent but you are more support than upfront.' They explained to him, Kukai looked over at Amu then back at the two men. 'I suppose that's better than nothing. She is my best friend after all.' Kukai said with satisfaction.
'Very well then, Amu study hard. We will be back in a few weeks with your paper work to settle everything. Ikuto has already given us your number so we will be in touch.' They stood up and made their way to the door. 'Very good work, Amu.' Utau said as she followed them out, slipping her hat and shades on to hide her identity. 'I'm going to go and give them my number...I'll be right back.' Kukai said as he chased after Utau.
'I think he likes her.' Amu said as Ikuto closed the door behind Kukai. 'I'd have to agree.' He smirked as he locked it shut and walked back over to Amu. She turned around and looked at him with curiosity. 'Did you just lock the door?' She smiled slightly. He had been doing really well every time that they were alone together, they hadn't kissed or hugged like a couple in just over a week.
'You need to let your parents know that you are going to be back late.' He smirked as he stood in front of her and looked into her eyes. 'I...I do?' She stuttered as he leant over her to take the card from her roses and flipped it so the message was facing her. As he stood up straight once more she breathed in his scent slightly and blushed at the masculine yet sweet scent.
'I meant about taking you out tonight Amu. I want to take you on a date, tonight.' He pleaded with his eyes, she felt her cheeks burn slightly as she looked away, she wanted to keep their agreement, to decide after a few months before dating. 'I don't know...we did agree to make up our minds after several months Ikuto...I don't want us to just break that agreement...' She felt his arms snake around her waist from behind as he bent down to her ear and breathed on it gently causing her body to shiver from the pleasure he gave her.
'Just think of it as a congratulations dinner for how wonderful you performed. I want you to feel like a princess until tomorrow, today has been all about you Amu.' He sighed into her ear, she felt herself shudder again as he tightened his grip around her waist. 'Please?' He purred into her ear as he breathed on her neck, she shivered once more before coming to a decision. 'Fine, but this isn't a date, it's just you taking me, your student out to congratulate me on my excellent performance.' She concluded as he brushed his lips against her neck, she tilted her head back against his chest as pleasure began to build inside of her.
'You really don't want this to be a date?' He whispered seductively in her ear as she closed her eyes and gripped onto the sides of the seat. 'I...I'm sure...I want to stick to our agreement...' She whispered back as he moved away from her neck to stand up. 'That was mean Ikuto...' She muttered annoyingly. 'Hey you were the one who made the second agreement. You didn't want me to act like we were dating.' He smirks as she stood up and hit him playfully. 'That means no teasing me like that! You really can be mean sometimes, I thought you were going to kiss me again...' She said as he caught her hand as she went to slap him again, he looked into her eyes with that lustful love look that he done so many times before.
'So you want to kiss me?' He teased as he saw her cheeks begin to glow. 'Maybe I miss it a little...but I don't want you to cloud my judgement by kissing me all the time we are alone. I want to have a clear head when deciding if I really want to be with you or not...can you try and hold out just a little longer?' She replied as he hugged her around her waist and brought her close to him once more.
'Can I just have one last taste?' He purred as they touched noses, she was still blushing as he kept creeping closer and closer to her lips. 'Just one last time...' She whispered as she raised her arms up around his neck and began to kiss him back with as much passion and love as he was kissing her with. They stopped abruptly when there was frantic knocking on the door, they looked at each other before Amu made her way over to her makeup chair and sat down before Ikuto opened the door.
'Is Amu in there?' 'Where's Mistress Kitten?' 'Can I get an autograph!?' Amu jumped up as she heard everyone screaming for her. 'She is not talking to anyone right now. She will need time to get ready to go home. I'm sorry but you are all going to have to leave.' Ikuto said as he tried to shut the door, she could hear the crowd getting restless and placed a hand on his back gently, he looked at her with weary eyes.
'It's ok Ikuto, I'll sign some autographs for them.' She smiled up at him as he sighed and opened the door to let her through. 'Everyone form a line or you won't get an autograph!' Ikuto shouted as everyone made an organised line down the hallway. Amu smiled up at Ikuto as he was taking authority, she really did feel like a princess around him.
'I didn't realise that there was going to be so many of them, let me just get changed and then we can go ok?' She made her way to the wardrobe in her room and shut the door as she got a tight chequered dress on which matched her black high heels and ripped style tights.
Ikuto's POV
When I looked at her I shut the door and bit my bottom lip slightly before walking over to her and put my hands on her hips. 'You have no clue how much I want to caress those curves of yours right now.' I groaned as I stared at her outfit. It hugged onto her curves perfectly, it was a tight dress and made every inch of her look amazing. Her hips, her stomach, her waist and her breasts, I bit my bottom lip once again as she looked up at me blushing.
'I wasn't trying to make you horny. Promise.' She said innocently before smirking slightly. 'How can you do this to me? I promised that I was going to stop kissing you and looking at you like girlfriend material so that you can have a clear mind, but then you come out wearing something like that! How the hell do you expect me to not want you?' I said seductively into her ear as I began to run my hands up her body.
'I...Ikuto...' I heard her moan out gently as her body shivered slightly from my touch, I smirked as I ran my hands back down to her hips and pulled her closer to me. 'After tonight, I will keep to our agreement...but I don't think I can stick to it today.' I smirked at her as I pushed her against the wall gently and begun to kiss her neck, I felt her hands reach up to my neck before I began to nip gently against the skin of her neck. She gripped onto part of my hair and moaned out gently.
I felt a bulge beginning to grow in my pants as he wrapped her arms around me and I continued to run my hands up and down her curves, I felt her body freeze for a little while as she felt my bulge against her, she pushed off of me slightly and I stopped to look down at her for a second. 'What's wrong?' I asked panting slightly.
'You're...growing.' She said shyly, I smirked before I tilted her chin up towards me. 'I know...' I swooped back down to claim her lips as mine once more, she gripped on to my shirt slightly as I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her closer to my body. We stopped as we heard people walking down the hallway, I looked at her with annoyed eyes as my bulge slowly disappeared I held my hand out to her and led her to the door, as we opened it her mother, father and sister were standing there.
Amu's POV
'Hi mother, father, Ami.' I said with a slight annoyance in my voice. 'Good evening.' Ikuto said after me as he quickly let go of my hand. My family looked me up and down then at Ikuto. 'Going out are we?' My father asked me ignoring Ikuto. 'I am taking everyone out for a meal to celebrate the show being such a great success.' Ikuto said as he stepped outside of my dressing room, shutting the lights off and locking the door.
My father looked from Ikuto to me and back to Ikuto. 'What time will we be expecting her?' He asked with extreme caution. 'I'll get her home to you at midnight, 1am the very latest.' He replied, I looked between my father and Ikuto feeling a tension build up, 'Just make sure she is safe, I don't want any perverts near my daughter.' My father grunted before I said goodbye to them all and watched them all leave before turning back to Ikuto.
'That is why I asked us to keep the arrangement of no couple stuff until I make up my mind, my father looked really suspicious...' I said as his eyes instantly locked with me, he grunted slightly before putting a hand on my back and began leading me out of the school. Once we got outside we saw Utau and Kukai sitting on a bench just outside of the entrance. We looked at each other before he led me to his car and open the car door for me, after I got in he shut the door for me before getting in his side. We got our seat belts on before Ikuto drove down the street towards one of the more posh restaurants in our small little town.
Ikuto's POV
As I held out my hand to help Amu out of the car I watched as her eyes lit up with amazement before looking at me and smiling. We walked towards the doors as I held her hand gently, as if holding on too tightly would break her. As we got to the doors the two door men opened them for us and we bowed to thank them. I walked over to the seating desk where a woman was standing, she smiled as she saw us.
'Yes may I help you?' She asked taking a double take on me holding Amu's hand, my eyes narrowed as I coughed slightly causing her to look back at me. 'I have a reservation. Mr. Tsukiyomi, table for 2.' I said as she glared at Amu, I sighed. 'Is there a problem miss?' I asked causing her to jump and Amu to look at the women with confusion.
'No not at all sir. Yes I have your reservation right here, you requested a table out back near a window?' She asked as I slide my arm around Amu's waist, the woman frowned slightly. 'Yes that's right, for me and my date.' I said as I looked down at Amu who blushed up at me slightly. 'Very well, if you be so kind as to follow me.' The woman began to lead us to the back, the table I had picked out was at the highest part of the building, we looked out the window and could see practically the entire town.
I watched as Amu lit up once more, I held the seat for her as she sat down then took to my seat. 'Can we have a little while before ordering? Thanks.' I said and answered before she even had a chance to answer my question, she sighed before bowing and making her way back to her position at the front desk.
'Do you like it Amu?' I asked her as she looked up at the ceiling, she looked back at me with small tears in her eyes, my expression changed from joy to worry as I put a hand to her cheek. 'What's wrong? Did she upset you? Hurt you?' I asked as she shook her head and smiled at me. 'You are just so sweet...no one has ever done something like this for me before.' She wiped the tears from her lash line before they had a chance to spill over and down her cheeks.
I smiled as I stroked her cheek gently. 'You deserve it Amu.' I smiled as she shook her head slowly. 'What?' I asked as she looked at me. 'You didn't do all of this just to try and get me to fall for you more did you?' She asked, I frowned and sighed. 'That is partly the reason why but also because I want to show you how nice life can be for you in the future. I want you to know how it feels to be a princess even if it is just for today.'
Her eyes swelled up as she stood up and kissed me, shocking me. As she pulled away she hugged me and I hugged her back carefully. 'Thank you Ikuto.' She whispered in my ear before taking my hand and sitting opposite me once again.
