Title: A Love to Live For

Chapter 8 - Festivals and All

Flash Back...

It is said that every year at this festival, Amu dear, whenever you meet someone there and know you want to spend the rest of your life with them, that person always hears bells and the sounds of glass shatter.

Present...

"Hey, Amu!" Yaya yelled.

"Oh, hi Yaya, have you seen Tadase lately?" I said, "I want to thank him for something."

"Amu-chan." Yaya said, "Don't you know he's out of town?"

"Out of town!" I yelled.

I'm so stupid.

"No I didn't..." I sighed.

"Mmm, too bad. You couldn've gone wih him to the festival tommorow." Yaya said.

"The festival?" I asked.

"YEAH! All the couples are going to the festival. And well, I got Kairi to come and go with me." Yaya smiled.

"You and Kairi?" I asked.

"Yeah!" she yelled.

"I wonder what he gave you to make you infatuated with him." I said.

"It wasn't chocolate!" she yelled.

Figured.

"So, who's Kukai going with?" I asked.

"Utua." Yaya said.

"And Nagihiko?" I asked.

"Rima!" Yaya shouted.

"Sigh, I have no one to go with." I said.

"Too bad, Amu-chiii." Yaya said, "Gotta go!" and she ran.

Well there is someone in mind. Nah, what am I thinking?

"Amu-chan! Who will you go with?!" Suu asked; sadly.

Miki held a picture of Ikuto. Ran did also. Suu was glaring at them.

"No! Not Amu and Ikuto!" Suu rawred.

"What?" I asked.

Miki and Ran snickered.

I walked around the park, where the festival would be held, and thought of how I'd be able to show my face there without someone with me. I'd be a laughing stalk!

"AMU! JUST GO WITH IKUTO ALREADY!" Ran yelled.

"Nice way to put it, Ran..."Miki smirked.

"But he's like, twenty! I'm only fifteen! They say this festival is where people find their true loves there. He can't possibly be the one..." I sighed.

"Well, then, go alone." Miki said.

"I'll have to..." I said.

I went back home; getting ready for the festival. I wore a cute black and festive dress with a gold trim. I fashioned my hair into two wavy and short pigtails.

"Cute!" Suu said.

I giggled. Dia applied some makeup on me.

At least if I didn't have anyone with me there, I'd at least look good.

"Ami wants to come too!" Ami shouted.

"You're going with Mama and Papa, Ami." I said.

"Mmmmmmmmmm...fine!" she yelled and ran off to Mama and Papa.

We walked to the park and everyone was enjoying icecream, eating candy, and playing games. I was so bored and everyone was staring at me.

"Too much attention, Amu-chii..." Miki said.

"I actually like it." Dia said.

"No duh." Ran replied.

"Ooh! Teddy bears!" Suu said.

While the charas went off to have some fun, I decided to wait in a corner, since I had nothing else to do.

"You look different tonight." said a voice behind me.

"WHAT?!" I was frightened.

"It's just me." Ikuto smirked.

I heard a table crash and saw all the glass cups shatter.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Beats me."

"Uh, Ikuto...what are you doing here...are you with someone?" I asked; blushing.

"Not really." Ikuto said.

Really?

My bell ring tone rang.

"Who could this be?" I asked.

I answered the phone.

"Hello?" I said.

No one was there.

"Aren't you here with someone?" Ikuto said, "You didn't just get dressed up for nothing."

"Well, I am alone, actually...I didn't know who to go with..." I sighed.

"Follow me." Ikuto said; walking already.

I followed him like a dog followed his or her owner. Everyone was looking at me funny. I didn't want t hem to think Ikuto owned me! Quickly, without thinking, I held Ikuto's hand.

"Ik-Ikuto." I said while he turned around and looked me in the eye.

His eyes were beautiful and filled with compassion and...love. Yes, love. Could he be the one...I heard the sound of bells.

Could he my...mine?

Ikuto smiled at me. I stared at him.

"Aren't we going to go to where I told you we were going?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah." I said; holding his hand and walking with him.

Stop blushing!

We finally got to this high mountain, with a beautiful scenery. The mountain top was covered in flowers. Ikuto wrapped his arms close to me.

What is he doing?

Ikuto kissed me. He kissed me. Is this a dream? Am I hallucinating? Can this really be?

Oh stop thinking and close your eyes already!

I closed my eyes and kissed back. Wow! This was so...so...amazing. It was beautiful. Ikuto and I...can we be...but...I can't love him...He...he wasn't the one who gave me that note...or could he?

I pulled away and let a tear rolled down my cheek.

"Ikuto, I'm sorry, I got to go." I ran down; crying still.

Why? Why did that note have to haunt me? Why did I have to move! Why couldn't Ikuto and I...Ikuto and I be together...Why?

"Amu..." Ikuto said while I ran down. I saw a sad look in his eyes.

Side Note: Awwwwwww D: Don't worry my friends, she LURVES Ikuto XD as much as I LURVE L from Deathnote. I lurve him VERY much. But at the end, she will know she can be with Ikuto because we all know, but she doesn't. Sigh, poor stupid Amu.
