Chapter Three
Costume check
Amu's POV
"Since you two are the reason for switching to comedy you can stay here longer and come up with idea's" The teacher said.
"Come on Mr, don't do this" I whined.
"This is suppose to be a punishment remember" He said before leaving the room. Kanon, Jane, and Fumi were right behind him.
I let out a sigh and turn toward Kukai.
"What a pain" He muttered.
I sat on the floor cross legged, Kukai joined me.
"So what's our play going to be about?" I asked.
"How should I know" He yawned.
We sat there in utter silence for about maybe twenty minutes before Kukai got bored and went to fiddle around backstage. I got frustrated about how he was slacking off so I decided to say something about it.
"Kukai we need an idea!" I shouted.
"I know, what do you think I'm doing back here!" he shouted back "oh and I just love it when you say my name" He joked.
I laughed a little and walked to the back of the stage curiously. blushing like crazy I closed my eyes and turned away quickly.
"I'm sorry I didn't know you were changing" I said quickly.
I blushed at he sight. Kukai was trying on the costumes and didn't have a shirt on yet. He was fit I'll tell you that. There wasn't one sign of access body fat anywhere. He had a good build and his back was beautiful and looked good when it met his small waist.
I stood there waiting for him to tell me when he was done. A hand came down on my shoulder and patted it. I turned around to see Kukai with clothing on.
"Hey, so you saw a little skin oh well" He shrugged it off happily "It's okay for guys to show off like that, right?"
"Yeah, your right" I admitted. Guys always walked places shirtless why did I overreact like that.
I finally noticed that he was wearing a orange tuxedo, I chuckled. The suit was huge, too big for him.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm trying to have some fun until we can get out of here, what do you think?" he asked holding his arms out to the side.
"You look ridiculous" I answered honestly.
"Just jealous" he said.
I took a seat and watched him try on a bunch of other costumes that looked stupid on him. The stupid costumes included, a sailor, and chef, and a police officer. We had a bunch of laughs at the police one, It was poorly made.
I waited as kukai changed into his next costume. He came back with a pirate outfit on, but this one didn't look silly on him at all. He looked...handsome.
He wore a white dress shirt that had the sleeves cut off, revealing his muscular arms. His pants were green and ripped at the bottom and only went a little below his knees. The color of the pants went well with his light brown hair and green eyes. Of course he had an eye patch on which kind of ruined the cool outfit. Knowing Kukai the eye patch was probably the whole reason he chose this outfit.
"What, too silly?" He asked pulling the eyepatch off his eye.
"Yes" I lied.
He looked at me for a while and I started to feel self conscious.
"What?" I finally asked.
"You should try something on too" he said.
"No" I refused quickly.
He ignored me, put both of his hands on my back, and pushed me to the back of the stage.
"I don't want to" I complained.
"Come on, it'll be fun, just pick a random costume" he said as he pushed me to the costume box.
I let out a sigh and dug inside the box. I could feel Kukai's eyes on my back as I pulled out a big black robe. I took it out, pulled it over my head and turned around. He stared me down and started laughing.
"What are you suppose to be?"
"I'm a vampire" I answered.
"It doesn't look like it, it looks like a dress on you" After a moment his eyes became more amused "You look like a little princess, is it a dream come true for you?" He teased.
"Heck yeah" I played along.
He held out his index finger. "Wait here" he said as he ran toward the craft box. Only seconds later he came running back with a sparkly pipe cleaner in his hand.
"What's that for, your pirate sword?" I joked.
He laughed a little and made it into a circle, a halo shape.
"It's your tiara" He placed it on my head, it fit perfectly. "There now your even more beautiful" He smiled.
I turned my head in the other direction. "Whatever"
I was about to look in the mirror when my feet were swept up from under me. I was scared that I was going to fall but my back hit something lightly.
"Kukai!" I yelled.
"What?" He chuckled.
"You really scared me, I thought I was going to fall" I explained, still a little breathless.
He had one of his arms supporting my neck and his other supported my legs.
"Like I would drop you" He snorted, cradling me against his chest.
"Yeah your macho, now put me down" I grumbled.
"Nah, come on princess lets go on an adventure" He flashed me a smile and ran onto the stage, still carrying me.
"Kukai aren't we a little old for pretend" I frowned as I tried to squirm out of his arms.
"Come on just play along, it wouldn't kill you" He said.
"hmpt"
My heart thumped and I tensed up when I was suddenly flung in a circle.
"Oh my god a tornado!" Kukai laughed spinning me around.
"Stop! your going to drop me!" I shouted but laughed at the same time.
After a few more spins he placed me on the ground. I was very dizzy and unbalanced so I let myself fall to me knees. Still dizzy I closed my eyes.
"What's this, your not going to pass out on me are you?"
"Maybe" I mumbled, my eyes still shut.
"Well I guess that's my cue to give the princess the awake kiss"
My eyes flew open and Kukai's face was only inches away from mine.
"No, Im awake!" I said urgently.
"You could be sleep talking" He smile deviously, pinning me to the ground.
My heart started to thump wildly. Something was different about Kukai, He had a fiery, passionate, aura to him.
"See look totally awake" I pointed to my eye.
"Your probably just being delusional" His eyes narrowed, the same smile was on his face.
I acted quickly and rolled to my side knocking his arm so he fell to the ground. His fell face first to the ground.
"Amu you meat head!" he yelled.
When I got to my feet I laughed at his expression, it was anger meets annoyance.
"Besides isn't it the prince that wakes the princess" I stated putting my hands to my waist. "Your a pirate"
He got up to his feet too, his expression full of mischief.
"You better watch that mouth of yours before this pirate decides to kidnap the innocent princess" He snickered while he launched at me.
a little faster than him I ran to the very end of the chairs, while he mad a grab for my waist. "Kukai stop it" I giggled. He didn't catch me and I got all the way to the other side of the chairs.
"C'mon Amu, pirates are way better than princes" He moved to the side, so did I.
"Really now?"
"One kiss Is all I ask" He said and then changed his tactics. "I have an idea for our play" he smiled while he walked through the isle of chairs.
"Really, about what?" I asked raising one of my eyebrows.
"Well your the beautiful lonely princess" As he walked closer to me I stayed where I was and waited for him to continue. "And im the handsome traveler, or pirate if you prefer, anyway I have too much time" He babbled.
Soon he was right in front of me and had his arms raised out to his sides. "And were madly in love" He said enthusiastically.
Before I could so anything smug he caught me in his arms. His arms were tight around my waist and he put his head on my shoulder.
"So what do you think?" He breathed in my ear.
"I think you have a really big imagination" I said pushing him away.
He didn't seemed bothered at all about my reaction.
"Come on darling let us run away together on the great sparkling blue sea" He said raising his arms outward.
I folded my arms across my chest and watched his performance.
"We can look at the beautiful scenery, which will never compare to your shinning face that warms me more than the sun itself"
He finally got me laughing. "Kukai you goof"
He smiled warmly and walked toward me again, placing his hand on the side of my face. I thought this was more of his act, but his face became very serious.
"Now let's seal it with a kiss"
My eyes widened. He grabbed my chin in one of his hands and his mouth came down on mine. His lips were hot moist while they moved against mine. My body became numb and it was as though my brain had shut down. My body was weak enough that his lips forced mine open and I could feel his breathe inside my mouth.
Kukai opened his eyes in a way that almost made me faint. It was adorable how he looked upward when his eyes were only half open, his thick lashes towering over them was the finishing touch. They were intense, like I would melt just being near.
"It's a rule that you close your eyes while being kissed" he stated breathlessly.
I said noting and put my hand to my mouth in shock. Kukai's eyes went from fire and slowly melted to normal.
"Im sorry" he said blushing. "I probably scared you"
"No, you surprised me is all, im not frightened" I assured, my voice a little shaky.
He attempted a half hearted smile and we stood there in the akward silence.
Authors note: Lol i got really shy when i wrote the kiss scene. Kukai is so cool, just had to say that.
I'll try get the last chapter up soon. Again, please Review and maybe tell your fanfiction people about it. I haven't been putting many stories up but the reason why Is Im finishing the whole story before putting them up. I am currently working on a Kiba and Hinata story and a Rin and Shessomaru story.
