Ok, for this one Amu's going to be in it, though I have no clue how old she would be for I do not know how old Ikuto was when Yoru first hatched, but I know that she'd be at least 5 to 7, though I'm not entirely sure... But, anyway, she's coming here on a vacation with her parents [[which because I'm not sure of her age Ami's not going to be born yet]] and doesn't know anyone..... --congrats for Natsuya801923 for saying something to make me think this up! Yay! [keep sending in ideas, I need them XD]

Yoru's Lesson Number Two! Stealthy Stealing!

Ikuto stayed in bed, his head buried in his pillow. Luckily, he hadn't heard of those stupid lessons since the jumping incident, that made him pretty happy. He smiled to himself, and today was Saturday so he wouldn't have to get up early. Sadly, he was still sore on his back and legs, so gym was a killer. He sighed, though it was muffled by the pillow, he would just have to relax and....

"IKUTO, NYA!!!" Yoru screeched at the top of his lungs in Ikuto's ear, making him jump sideways and hitting his head on the wall.

"Ow!!" Ikuto yelped and rubbed his head, having a sour look upon his face. This couldn't be good...

"Ikuto, I have given you a few days of grace since your last failure, but now it is time, nya!" Yoru said to his companion, who was obviously dreading the second part of his torture.

"T-time for what?" Ikuto asked, this was going to be bad...

"Your second lesson, duh! Today's lesson is to........... steal something!" Yoru announced with a smirk upon his face.

"What?! It's not like I want to be a burglar when I grow up!" Man, that would be some chara...

"You're not going to steal something of major worth, besides, this is more of practice for the future when you need to get something back of yours that somebody stole from you," Yoru said, crossing his arms. [major foreshadowing]

Ikuto pouted. He had a point, but he didn't want to steal something from somebody, it wasn't his nature. "Ugh... ok, but let's not make Tadase or Utau a target, I don't want Tadase more mad at me than he already is and Utau is just.... Utau."

"Fine! Come with me and we'll find a target. Maybe someone that has never met you. I have heard somewhere around here that there is a family vacationing here, let's go find them! They even have a child!" Yoru said and flew out the window, Ikuto regretfully followed.

They traveled around town, most of the people knew Ikuto around some of the houses, but none were the vacationing family. "Are you sure they're here?" Ikuto asked tiredly, yawning slightly.

"I'm sure....Hey! What about that family!? I've never seen a girl with pink hair here!" Yoru said happily, pointing to a family of three, a little girl with short pink hair holding onto her Mom and Dad's hands. This made Ikuto's chest ache for a moment before Yoru snapped him out of it. "Hey! Ikuto! Steal something from the little one!"

"What!? I can't do that, that's just cruel...," Ikuto said, glaring at Yoru.

"Well then... fine! Prepare yourself to steal her diary..... tonight!" Yoru said devilishly, replacing the bad idea with the worst idea.

"Diary!? Tonight?! But wouldn't it make more sense to steal it when they're not home? Besides, how in the world am I suppose sneak into her house without waking her up? Let alone her room? And what will I do if she wakes up or I get caught?" Ikuto continuously asked, a shocked expression on his face.

Yoru chuckled and sighed. "No, because then it would be no fun, nya! Besides, if they have a two story house and the girl is in a room on the second floor then it'll be easy," he said, Ikuto having a 'WTF' look after he said that. "If she wakes up you shall play the violin! That always calmed down Tadase and Utau when they were squabbling, so it should work on her! She looks to be Tadase's age anyway. If you get caught? Simple, you won't."

"But, if I play my violin then her parents will wake up, right?" Ikuto asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"No! Not if you play it silently, at least," Yoru said with a cunning expression. "Now, go prepare yourself, nya!" he ordered, pointing toward his house.

Ikuto confusedly nodded, going back home in a hurry.

[At night]

Ikuto gulped. "A-are you sure this is her house?" he asked nervously, trying to buy time.

"Yes! I saw her and her parents walk in, and I know which room is her's! It's that one!" Yoru answered and quickly pointed up to the second story of the house, it also had a balcony.

"How am I suppose to get up there?" Ikuto asked, rubbing his hands together.

"Use your first lesson, but this time you're jumping up," Yoru explained, putting his paws at his side.

"But, remember, I failed the first lesson," Ikuto mentioned, pouting.

"This is different, unless you want me to show you how to do it...," Yoru muttered, putting his paw on his chin as if thinking.

"Please do," Ikuto mumbled, looking fearfully at the balcony, dreading the moment he either got there or fell off.

Yoru nodded. "Ok then, away we shall go, nya!" he said and took control of Ikuto. He climbed up a tree and onto the electric line, trailing all the way to the top of the girl's house and sliding down the roof to land on the balcony, all done very quietly. "See? Easy as eating pie!"

"I-I suppose so..," Ikuto mumbled, putting his hand on the sliding glass door. "She probably has it locked, so let's just go home-"

"No! Children are forgetful, and even if it was locked we can still pick the lock, nya! Now try it," Yoru interrupted, pointing a claw at Ikuto as a threat.

Ikuto gulped and grabbed onto the handle, sliding the door open... huh, it was unlocked. Yoru had told him a while before this that once they were inside, they shouldn't talk. So he was on his own now. He quietly stepped inside, hoping not to trip over anything, which sadly he did... He tripped on his own tail that was swaying back and forth behind him. He fell on the worst place possible, the bed. His luck was just really bad, no wonder some people called him the 'Black Cat'. His cat ears perked up when he heard the girl stir from her sleep, so he quickly stood up and urgently searched for somewhere to hide, but to no avail.

"Hm..?" the girl asked sleepily, rubbing one of her eyes. She blinked a couple of time and almost screamed when she heard a beautiful sound... She sat up and looked at the person in her room, and they were playing some pretty instrument...She smiled and got out of the bed, searching for the source of it.

Ikuto stopped playing the violin, strangely the girl was gone.. had she went to tell her parents some strange person was in her room? If that was the case he'd better get out of there. He turned to leave until he felt something grab his hand, making him turn to see who it was, slightly frightened. He relaxed when he saw it was the girl, but there was something about her eyes that were reflected by the moon light... He couldn't stop himself from looking into them, they looked as if they the stars themselves...

"Hey, that was beautiful... c-could you play it again?" she asked sweetly, also staring into his midnight blue eyes.... it reminded her of the night sky.

"I-I" is all Ikuto could say, he was quite stunned that there was a stranger in her room, that and her cute expression and honey-glazed eyes. He knew if he saw a stranger in his room he'd be quite terrified.

She tilted her head and smiled. "My name's Amu..., what's yours?" she asked kindly, still holding his hand.

Ikuto blushed.... he didn't blush much, he only remembered one other time he blushed and that was when his... butt was stuck in the can.. His blush deepened just thinking about that, man it was embarrassing. "Uh-, um..., my name's.. Ikuto."

"I-ku-to, right?" Amu asked and giggled, "I like it..," she stated and closed her eyes while smiling, why'd she have to be so cute?

Ikuto just nodded, holding his violin case tightly. He couldn't steal anything from her.... "H-hey, um, I've got to go...," he said and tried to pull his eyes away from hers.

"Hm? Really? Aw~, will you come tomorrow? I'm going back home in a few days so..," Amu said, still holding his hand tightly.

"W-well, maybe not in here but... I could meet you at the park maybe...," Ikuto said and finally just shut his eyes, still blushing.

"Eh~? Ok! I'll meet you there tomorrow!" Amu said happily, finally letting go of his hand.

Ikuto nodded and quickly left, shutting the door quietly. He jumped down from the balcony, actually landing on his feet harmlessly. He might be getting the hang of this.. He walked home and slung his violin case on the floor.

"What was that, Ikuto, nya!?" Yoru yelled. "You could have gotten it easily while talking to her!" he explained and sighed. "I suppose you fail lesson two... will you ever pass you!?" he said despairingly.

Ikuto didn't respond, sighing along with him but for a different lesson. He slid into his covers and buried his head in his pillow. What was that feeling he got when she was holding his hand? Huh, so weird....

---End of Lesson Two! Yoru is thoroughly disappointed, but supposes the next one shall be easier for the little 'Black Cat'.---


Please R&R and Lesson Three shall come your way!
