Ikuto- Aya doesn't own Shugo Chara or the characters.
CHAPTER THREE ~ Beating 'Round The Bush ~
[Amu's Pov]
I could not find him but I sat through a boring first period. It was... strange. I felt as if people were watching me.
The school here is so big. In no time I was completely and utterly lost. You would never hear me admit that to anyone but myself.
Geez! Where the heck is that dang principals office? I've passed this hallway at least three times. Ugh! I'm so lost! Everything looks the same! Gah!
"Uh, are you lost Amu?" I swiftly turned around. I was facing the boy who sat behind me.
"No. Don't use my name in such a friendly way." I let the silence drift. He'll go away if you be your usual sarcastic, quiet, loner self. He was still standing there. Now I started to glare at him. My rude comment forgotten, he continued. Either not seeing my glare or he just plain didn't care.
"Where are you headed? I can probably help you. This school is rather big." Again, more silence from me. He doesn't look as if he's gonna bug off any time soon. I have no notion why, but he is somehow pissing me off with his nonchalant expression.
"Mind your own business will you? I said I'm not lost." Shit! I fixed my gaze to an empty far out look. Erasing all emotion from my face. Stone, calm rivers, lakes, skies. Be empty! NO FEELING!...never again.
The boy seemed unnerved by my rudeness. Though he saw my hands clench at my sides. It was only for a brief second but I knew he had caught it.
"If your looking for your second period class its that way." He pointed to the stairs leading up. He may be trying to help, but I'm tired so my brain is generating his helpfulness into a complete nuisance.
"I'm skipping second period." The boy bobbed his head up and down with understanding. He seemed to remember something.
"So, where's your chara?" The look on his face was brimming with genuine interest.
"Wha-" Just then Tsukasa-sama walked up to me. Placing a hand on my shoulder he said,
"You wished to speak to me right right Amu-chan?"
"Yea. Its important."
"Yes of course it is. Shall we go to my office?"
"Yup." We left the boy in the hallway.
We entered his office and he started to make tea. His leather black chair was pushed in behind his cherry-wood desk. Behind his desk was an amazing view of the garden, and front part of the school.
All around the room were pictures of a kid with midnight purple hair, and purple-blue eyes. Deja vu. I feel like I've seen this boy someplace... I cant seem to remember though...
Tsukasa-sama must have seen me looking at the pictures.
"That's my nephew Ikuto-kun." He watched for my reaction, but I could not give one. Honestly I don't think I have ever heard that name before.
"The very popular Tskuyomi Ikuto?" There was a tad bit of disbelief in his voice.
"How about his one? The kid we left in the hallway?" My lips parted in an O.
"That kid." Tsukasa-sama chuckled at my answer.
"Tsukasa-sama?"
"Yes my dear?"
"I came here for a reason. I came to ask why you invited me to your school. Why were you running an ice-cream stand also? And I wanted you to tell me of this thought I had... Meeting you there was no coincidence, was it?"
"Amu-chan, everything happens for a reason, it was no coincidence. I invited you to this school because you are special."
"How so?"
"You will find out soon enough. The reason I was running an ice-cream stand, was because the stars told me to." Okay, I'm starting to think that Tsukasa-sama may have a few loose screws if you know what I mean.
Then I recalled something.
"What did Tsukiyomi-san mean before? What was he talking about when he said 'Where is your chara?' What is a chara?"
"You will see soon enough Amu-chan." Quit beating 'round the bush pretty boy! Though I cant exactly say that to the principal. This is my only chance to go to school. It wouldn't make Yukari very happy to see me on her front door step expelled from school on my first day.
