Title: A love to Live for

Chapter 18 – A love to live for -End

Ikuto, Yoru, Miki, Ran, Dia, Suu, and I were back at my house. Yesterday seemed crazy…and I was so…happy and sad at the same time. Now I was completely happy. I was excited actually! Ikuto would be with me…and he didn't have to go. Best of all, he was here to enjoy my birthday.

I heard my phone ring. It was…Yaya.

"Hi, Amu-chii! We have to go shopping! Tonight's your birthday party and we need to buy you an outfit!" Yaya said.

"We?" I asked.

"Rima and I, silly!" Yaya shouted.

"I…I don't know…" I said.

"Please, Amu!" Yaya cried.

"Alright…fine….fine." I answered.

"Yay!" Yaya cheered; hanging up.

I walked into the room Ikuto was staying in. He was in the bathroom currently, and I found his cell phone. I had quite an evil idea.

I quickly took his cell phone and changed his ring tone.

Oh joy.

I grinned.

Ikuto came out of the bathroom; seeing me fully dressed.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Going shopping." I smiled.

"Happy birthday." He replied.

"You…remembered?" I was so happy.

"Of course."

This totally made my day.

I and my charas ran out the door; awaiting Yaya at the mall.

"Amu!" Rima shouted; hugging me.

"Hey, Rima." I smiled.

"Heya, Amu-chii!" Yaya yelled.

"Hi, Yaya." I replied.

"Aren't we going to go shopping or what?" Yaya gasped.

"Let's go." Rima whispered.

We went to this store filled with pretty dresses and tuxedos. It looked quite fun to be in, but I wonder why we went shopping here.

"Amu, wear this!" Yaya said; handing me an off-white and sleeveless dress.

"Alright…" I said; getting into a dressing room.

Rima also got herself a red dress with long sleeves. Yaya bought a sleeveless pink dress.

"Ah! You look so cute, Rima!" Yaya shouted, "You too, Amu!"

"Thanks, Yaya, but why did you get three tuxes?" I asked in suspicion.

"You'll see." Yaya smiled evilly.

When we got to my house, Yaya had told me to stay out for a while until she got my house ready for the party. I was very impatient; especially since she made me wear the dress in the mall til' we got here.

"Ta-da!" Yaya shouted; opening the door.

Wow, it looked so beautiful. Everything was covered with roses. I saw Nagihiko and Tadase dressed up in tuxedos too. Wow, they looked really good in those.

"Good day, Amu." Nagihiko said.

"Uh…you too?" I replied.

"Happy birthday, Amu." Tadase smiled.

I smiled back.

"Thank you."

Out of no where, there came Ikuto; wearing a tuxedo as well. I had to say…he was the most attractive guy there. I was stunned…well…until his phone rung.

"What the hell…" Ikuto said.

"Ikuto, why is your ring tone constantly saying 'My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard'." Tadase said.

I giggled.

"My bad." I cracked up.

"Good one, Amu!" Yaya laughed as well; high-fiving me.

Out of no where, I saw Utau walk in; wearing a beautiful purple dress with gold accents.

Wah…she's way too pretty…

"Happy birthday, Amu!" she said; hugging me.

"Tha-thanks! You're choking me, Utau!" I said; gasping for air.

"So this is the theme of my birthday. Get random guys in tuxedos and all the girls in dresses." I giggled.

"That was pretty much the point." Yaya smirked, "Music time!"

She turned the music on. It was…hip pop. So didn't match the theme. Even though, Nagihiko and Rima started dancing with each other. Yaya danced with Pepe, while the charas ate some nachos. Utau and Ikuto were talking too.

"C'mon, Ikuto! Please! One kiss?" she pleaded.

"No." he replied.

"Please!"

"No."

"You're always like this!" she yelled.

I laughed.

The music turned slower. Rima and Nagihiko danced again, but this time, they were slow-dancing. Yaya sat down, and Yoru and Miki were talking again.

"Amu." Ikuto started, "May I have this dance?" he smirked.

With that smile and that tuxedo…I just couldn't resist.

"Of course." I blushed.

We danced, once again, just like that night at Utau's birthday party. But now…it had more meaning to it. I was just too happy here…here…with Ikuto…

The music finally stopped.

"Let's play spin the bottle!" Yaya suggested.

"This doesn't seem to fit the theme right…" I scolded.

"So what?" Yaya smiled stupidly.

We started spinning the bottle and the bottle landed on Rima and Nagihiko. Figures. I just laughed when they were forced to do it in front of us. Yaya took pictures. Not that cool. Next, the bottle landed on me and Tadase, but before anything happened, Kukai came in randomly wearing a tuxedo.

"How about you know first!" I yelled.

"Happy sixteenth birthday, Amu!" Kukai laughed.

"Kukai!" Yaya and Utau yelled out.

Utau and Yaya were going to start a cat fight soon.

Yay?

"Now's our chance." Ikuto whispered as he took my hand; running up the stairs with me.

"What…what are you doing, Ikuto?" I laughed.

"Do you love me, Amu?" he asked me in the most velvety tone ever.

"Why are you asking such a question?" I laughed, "Of course I do, Ikuto."

"Prove it." He smirked.

"Well then." I smiled.

I kissed him. I could tell he was surprised. But you know…this was the first kiss that I thought was true and pure…I really did love him…Being near him for so long made me fall for him. He loves me and I love him. That was just it. I finally realized…I do truly and deeply love him.

Ikuto…

"I knew you two liked each other." Yaya said; interrupting us; holding a camera.

Miki and Ran took pictures as well.

"Guys!" I yelled.

"Amu and Ikuto sitting in a tree…k-i-s-s-i-n-g!!!" Yaya shouted.

I chased after them; yelling angrily. I heard Ikuto laugh. It made me smile as well. So it's true. It'll be final. I love Ikuto, no one can take that away from me. I love him.

Epilogue

Ikuto and I started going steady. He'd always pick me up from school. We'd either go to my house or stay at his house if my parents were at home. We loved each other passionately. He would hold me in his arms; just wanting to kiss me once again.

"I love you, Amu." He whispered in my ear.

He pulled away at looked at me.

"I love you more." I said.

And we both sealed it with a kiss.

The end.
