Title: Love to Live for

Chapter 16 (including the extras) – Why Now?

"Amu! Amu! I'm hungry!" Ran shouted.

"I'm bored." Miki said.

"Cheer up you sillies!" Suu said.

Dia groaned.

"Guys, listen to Suu." I smiled.

I looked at my door and saw Ikuto open it. I smiled and blushed as he came in.

"HI IKUTO!" Ran jumped.

"Uhm, hi." He said.

"Ikuto, who says you can randomly come in here!" I shouted.

"Myself." He smiled.

I yelled at him.

He just mocked me…again.

"Amu, I want to take you somewhere. So come on." He cooed.

"Wha-where..?" I blushed.

"It's a secret." Ikuto winked.

I think my heart just sank…

I jumped up and hurried as Ikuto walked out the front door and into the world that was just outside my house.

He and I walked for several minutes until we got to this fancy restaurant…where all they served was…chocolate!

"Chocolate!" I shouted.

"Chocolate!" all the charas cheered in unison.

"May I take you to a seat?" a waitress said; gazing at Ikuto.

"Yes, please." Ikuto replied.

"Right away!" the waitress giggled.

I wasn't too happy about this.

I saw the waitress flirting with Ikuto randomly while taking orders. I was pretty mad at the moment. Everytime she tried, though, Ikuto shot down every moment of flirtation. I blushed.

"Ooh, Amu!" Ran giggled.

"Huh! What!" I yelled.

"Are you alright, miss?" the waitress asked me.

"Yeah, just dandy!" I smiled the stupidest smile ever.

"Alrighty then." She turned away to get our orders.

"Ik-Ikuto…did you like that…that woman…" I blushed.

"Why would I? When I have you." He smirked.

Me?

I was deep red.

Right when he was nearing me; almost kissing me; the waitress came and shoved our plates in front of us.

"Here are your orders!" she smiled at Ikuto, then looked at me with an evil face.

I was frightened.

"Amu, open your mouth." Ikuto smiled.

"What?!" I yelled; shouting so loud my mouth was wide open.

He shoved the chocolate in my mouth.

Blushing, I ate the chocolate as fast as possible.

After we finished Ikuto left the check there and grabbed my hand. He turned into Black Lynx again; and we soared off; just like that other night. All I could do was smile and blush.

What's this feeling? So tingly…so sweet…I love it…yet…I don't know what it is…

We arrived at the balcony and Ikuto held my hands; looking right at me. He leaned in and kissed me. I was blushing so much, I just didn't know what to do but kiss back.

Ikuto…

Our lips parted and he smiled. I smiled back.

"Good night." He said; as he randomly took his shirt off.

"Don't do that!! You'll give me a heart attack!" I shouted.

"Should I remove my pants too?" he laughed.

"No thanks!" I yelled.

He went off to another room, and fell asleep.

The Next Morning

"Amu!" Ran shouted, "Where's Ikuto!?"

"What? Why are you asking me?" I said; still sleepy.

"Well Miki and I were on our montage of taking random pictures of him in the shower…UHM…did I just say that…no…no…I meant, I don't know!" Ran yelled.

"Okay…I bet he's in that room…" I said; but when I opened the door…no Ikuto.

I saw a letter on the dresser though. I opened it and it said:

Amu, I'm sorry…

I should've told you before but…I didn't. Amu, I'm off to Tokyo, on account of my step-dad. I'll always remember you.

Ikuto.

Tears were coming out of my eyes; trickling down my skin. I hurried and put my jacket on; running outside.

"Amu!" my charas all shouted.
