Chapter 2: The Soft Haired Kitty

She couldn't stand him anymore! That perverted blue haired freak always had something sexual and sarcastic to say to her. He followed her around school and would walk her half way home, well more like stalk her half way home.

"Ikuto, how many times do I have to tell you to FUCK OFF! I hate you, I can't stand you, and on top of that you disgust me," Amu yelled after almost a month and a half of Ikuto annoying the crap out of her. Ikuto couldn't help but smirk like usual. "Amu...stop lying to yourself. We both know we share something and that's the urge to have s-" Ikuto said before Amu punched him in the stomach. "Once again Ikuto leave me alone," she yelled as she ran away from him.

Ikuto couldn't help but smile as he watched the temperamental pink head walk away. "Stop smiling you look like a freak," Ikuto said to himself. Ikuto shook his head and snapped out of his trance as he headed home.

As Amu walked home she couldn't help but think of that special someone who had stolen her heart after only a month of being friends. Tadase was always so kind to her, and always had something intelligent to say; unlike that perverted bastard Ikuto. Amu rolled her eyes as she thought of the pervert. "Ikuto needs a life," Amu thought to herself. As she opened her door to go inside her room Tsukasa yelled at her from the kitchen, "Amu someone's here to see you." Amu looked around her living room to find someone she never expected in her house.

"Sorry to pop up out of random Hinamori but I need to talk to you about something important," a sugary sweet and polite voice said. Amu's face couldn't help but turn a light shade of red as she approached Tadase. "Ummm no it's ok Tadase. What do you need to talk about," Amu whispered. Tadase was so used to having Amu whisper when she talked to him so he was never surprised when she would lose her voice. "It's about Rima," Tadase said.

Amu's eyes widened and she couldn't help but get scared and wonder if her best friend was in trouble. "What's wrong with Rima? Is she ok? Please tell me she's ok," Amu panicked. Tadase smiled and said in a calm voice, "Amu she's fine. I just need some advice." Amu relaxed at hearing that Rima was ok but her heart skipped a beat and began to hurt as she heard the rest of his sentence. "How...can I help you," Amu's fragile voice whispered. "Amu i'm sorry to maker this weird and awkward for you but I think I'm in love with Rima," Tadase said while looking at the floor. Amu's heart broke in two as she heard Tadase confess his love for her only best friend. "oh...well Tadase, I don't know what to tell you since i'm not Rima," Amu said monotonously. "You should confess to her, i'm sure she wouldn't turn you down. I'm not sure who she has feelings for but it doesn't hurt to confess," she said emotionless. Tadase smiled and responded y saying, "Thanks for the confidence boost Amu. I'm glad we're good friends. Well I guess I'll get going see you tomorrow," Tadase stated. Amu watched as her crush that had just crushed her own heart walked out of her house.

Unknowingly Amu began crying. Tsukasa panicked as he saw his little girl crying on the floor in fetal position. "Amu! Amu whats wrong," he yelled with panic ringing loudly. Amu didn't answer but just kept crying. Tsukasa couldn't help but wonder if Tadase had anything to do with Amu's tears. After a while of letting her cry he checked on Amu and found that his adopted daughter had fallen asleep. "Amu whatever Tadase did to you don't let it get to you. I'm sure you'll find someone better who will love you more than you can imagine," he whispered as he picked her up and carried her into her room.

Amu woke up with a head ache and her eyes the size of golf balls. "Fuck my life I look terrible," Amu said to herself. As she rummaged her closet for clothes to wear Amu couldn't help but wonder how she got to her room and what had happened yesterday, since she only remembered Tadase leaving. Leaving and telling her indirectly that he wasn't interested in her. Amu's world once again came crashing down as the pain in her heart that was numb began to sting.

At school she avoided Tadase and Rima. She didn't want to see her best friend even if it wasn't her fault that Tadase fell in love with her. As she walked out of class and ran to the grassy field she couldn't help but start crying again. She felt alone, unwanted and unloved. " Why did I even think Tadase would ever like me? He probably finds me annoying. Or he just simply never saw me as girl friend material. I should stop talking to myself people might think i'm insane when they see me making faces for no entire reason," Amu thought. Suddenly as she neared a tree a pair of warm hands grabbed her from behind and held her close. "Not today Ikuto please leave me alone," she said quietly. Ikuto was shocked that Amu automatically knew it was him. "Oh, so you memorized my touch already Amu," he said with a smirk on his face. "Ikuto...please not now, please," Amu whispered as she began to cry. Ikuto got scared as Amu's voice began to break into sobs. "Why are you crying? What's wrong," Ikuto softly whispered into Amu's ears.

"Stop acting like you give a shit about me Ikuto! Get a life! No, better yet get a girlfriend already and leave me alone," Amu screamed as she pushed Ikuto's arms away from her and while tears ran down her cheeks. Ikuto stared at her and then with out any warning grabbed Amu and hugged her tightly. "Tadase did this to you didn't he," he asked. At hearing Tadase's name Amu began to cry even more. As her sobs got louder Ikuto hugged her closer to him. "You deserve better Amu. Don't waste your tears on him," Ikuto said with a hint of anger and jealousy in his voice. Amu didn't say anything she just kept crying into the one person she hated the most's arms. For some reason his tight embrace calmed her down a lot and made her feel loved. No one had ever hugged her the way Ikuto had.

After she calmed down and had realized that she had missed all her classes of the day, Amu looked up at Ikuto who just kept his eyes away from Amu. "I'm really sorry for crying on you," she whispered. Ikuto nodded and patted her head. As Amu tried breaking they're hug she was surprised to feel Ikuto resist. She looked up at him and gave him a "What's wrong" look. He smiled at her and said, "This is the first time you've ever hugged me back...i like it." Amu blushed and felt embarrassed. As she once again tried breaking away from him Ikuto only hugged her harder. "Amu...don't cry anymore. You look ugly crying and on top of that your honey colored eyes don't go well with red," Ikuto whispered. Amu laughed and simply said, "Thanks for calming me down Ikuto." She patted his head and gasped as she felt his soft hair. "You have really soft hair. It's soft like my kitty's fur," she exclaimed as she began playing with it. Ikuto blushed and looked away from her. Amu just kept playing with Ikuto's hair as Ikuto stared at her soft smiling face. Suddenly out of no where Ikuto pulled her close to him and with out thinking softly kissed her pink lips, which hungered for warmth.
