Sora: Hey! We're back with Twisted Memories Ch 8! YAY! Oh yea, sorry for the REALLY late update. I haven't been able to get any ideas so I've been reading other fics to help me.
Ikuto: You people better be grateful!
Sora: Yeah! Oh and there's an OCXIkuto fluff moment below. Just warning you! Oh and of course amuto moments!
Amu: Lolz Sora doesn't own anything!
Amu POV
I jolted up from my bed and adjusted my eyes to match my surroundings. It clearly showed that it was the evening when I looked through the window. I carefully looked around the room confirming whose it would be. "This isn't my room." I said to myself. The walls were crimson red while all the furniture was black. I slowly got up and made my way through the door. As I quietly made my way downstairs I spotted a blonde female making dinner. Next to her was a man who strikingly looked like Ikuto.
I decided to leave and not cause any commotion but when I turned around I bumped into someone. I quickly looked forward and saw another blonde girl in front of me "Wait a minute," I said to myself. Then it all clicked. "UTAU!" I jumped up and hugged Utau the hardest I could.
"A-Amu, can't b-breath!" Utau gasped for air when I let her go.
"Utau! How have you been!" I excitedly asked her.
"I've been better," Utau smiled. "Now come on, let's go have some dinner!" she said dragging me to the kitchen. The two adults in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and looked my way.
"Mom, Dad this is my bestfriend Amu," Utau said introducing us.
"Hello, my name is Hinamori Amu. It's nice to meeet you," I smiled to the mother. However my gaze still lingered on the father.
"Why aren't you a cute little thing? My name is Tsukiyomi Souko and this my husband Tsukiyomi Aruto," Souka said pointing to her and her husband. All of a sudden Aruto yawned.
"Oh please excuse me, I just came back from Europe this morning and I'm a bit sleepy," Aruto said.
"That's no problem" I smiled. 'Hmm if I remember correctly Sora said that Utau and her, Ikuto, and Yoru aren't biological siblings under Aruto because Utau is the daughter of Aruto's second wife, Souko. Utau said before that Ikuto left her and her mother but she never told me what happened to her father. I'm guessing this is the time he went to Europe for whatever reason. Oh but Kazuomi told me that after Ikuto left, he became abusive? That's strange, he looks very gentle to me. Hmm, Yoru went missing after Ikuto left to go find freedom for himself after Sora left to become an assassin. If Souko and Utau were alone, how did Utau get a job as an assassin? Did Sora introduce her? No, can't be. Sora left when Utau was 4. I wonder if the parents know that all their kids are assassins? What if they were assassins when they were younger? I wonder why Yoru and Sora aren't here if this is there house? God, my brain hurts from so many question!' I thought to myself.
"Wait a minute, if I'm in the Tsukiyomi home shouldn't Ikuto be here too?" I accidently asked aloud.
"Ikuto? You know Ikuto?" Aruto asked suprised.
"Yeah she does dad, because they go to the same school." Utau lied.
"Yeah! I always hear about him from my friends." I added.
"Oh really? What do they say?" Souko asked.
"Um...They say he's a great guy that's good at sports!" I lied through my teeth.
Aruto raised an eyebrow and took a glance at Souka. Her eyebrows were raised too. I started to sweat hardcore while they exchanged glances. Then Souko suddenly smiled. "See I told you honey! Ikuto would be good at sports if we let him in those sports teams when he was younger!"
"Yeah I guess it all paid off." Aruto said forcing a smile.
I chuckled nervously, "Yeah. That is a good thing." I started to eat dinner quietly. Then as soon as Utau left I bolt out the door to the guest room.
"That must have been the scariest thing I have ever did," I said leaning against the door after quickly shutting it. Utau was looking at me nervously.
"What?" I asked.
Utau suddenly sighed and cradled her head in her hands, "Amu you baka, why did you agree to what they said?"
"What?" I asked still confused.
"They were testing you if you really know Ikuto and you failed! Even you should have known the answer!"
"I still don't get what you're talking about?" I said.
"You said that Ikuto was good at sports then agreed that it was because he went joined teams when he was kid. There's two things wrong with that Amu!" Utau yelled.
I just tilted my head in confusion. Utau sighed and raised her index finger.
"First thing is, Ikuto hated sports because my dad was never there to play with him because he left us," Then she raised a second finger, "Second, Ikuto wasn't in any teams as as kid because he left to join Easter!"
I facepalmed," Great! This is just great! Now they know I'm lying and think I'm suspicious!"
"And they also know you're an assassin," Utau quietly added.
"WHAT!" I yelled shaking Utau
"At first it was just assumptions, but when they asked you about Ikuto and about the sports, WHICH YOUR ANSWER WAS VERY WRONG! They knew that for a fact you don't know Ikuto even if you know him." Utau said before looking at the time. "It's already seven, you want to stay over?" she asked.
"I don't know, I mean your parents know I'm an assassin and it makes me a bit comfortable." I sighed scratching my head.
"You're my bestfriend so they won't hurt you...I think." Utau said.
"What was that last part that you said?" I asked arching an eyebrow.
"I'm going to take a shower. My room is in the North wing, go though the left corrider, it's the second last door on the left." Utau said before leaving.
I nodded then procceded to walking down the corriders of the Tsukiyomi Mansion. I carefully eyed my enviroment, memorizing my surroundings. When I finally came up to the North Wing, a maid stumbled upon me. The teapot on the tray she was holding spilt all over my clothes.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She apologized while bowing a million times.
"It's alright. Here let me help you," I said grabbing a stack of plates and the teapot then putting them on the tray.
"Thank you so much! " The maid said.
"Umm yeah can before you go, can you tell me where Utau's room is? I forgot which way it was." I asked.
"Mistress Utau's room? Just go through that corrider. It's the second last room on the left." The ditsy maid pointed.
"Oh thank you very much!" I smiled.
"No problem," the maid blushed before walking away and tripping..again. I chuckled to myself before walking throgh the corrider that the maid pointed to. As I came to the second last door I twisted the doorknob slowly and entered the dark room. I closely examined the room. Strange I didn't think Utau liked blue? As I spotted drawer, I speed walked there in search of some clothes.
The top drawer I found, was filled with men's shirts. I raised an eyebrow and looked into the second drawer which was filled with men's pants. "Does Utau dress like a man sometimes?" I said to myself before opening the third drawer. I slowly lifted up some boxers in shock.
"My, my I seem to have an underwear pervert in my room." A deep voice chuckled.
Normal POV
The pinkette's head shot up to meet sapphire eyes. Ikuto was at the doorway casually leaning on the casing with crossed arms, smirking at Amu.
"Ikuto!" Amu cried, "What are you doing here?"
Ikuto chuckled, "This is my house, is it not?"
Amu then noticed Ikuto's attire and blushed red like a tomato. "W-why are you only wearing a towel?"
"That's cause I just took a shower," Ikuto said simply. "Like what you see?" he smirked.
"N-no! I don't know what you're talking about," Amu stuttered.
Ikuto strode towards her and lifted up her chin with his index finger and thumb, "I suggest that you leave before anything happens that you'll regret." he smirked.
Amu blushed and quickly ran out of Ikuto's room. A few minutes later, Ikuto came out in black skinny jeans, and a grey and white stripped long sleeve shirt. They started to walk aimlessly outside of the mansion. (clothes on profile) "So do you need clothes or are you going to walk around and have everyone see your underwear?" Ikuto asked while smirking. Amu looked down and blushed. She used her arms to cover her chest area and immediately collapsed on the floor.
"You pervert! Where do you think you're looking!" Amu yelled embarrassed.
"At nothing. You want clothes or not?" Ikuto shrugged.
Amu heard the hidden insult but brushed it off. Ikuto went back inside of his room and brought out a pair of black basketball shorts and a rather long, skinny white t-shirt. Amu quickly changed inside of Ikuto's room and came out in the obviously oversized clothes.
"Cute," Ikuto complimented. They started to walk around the mansion, occasionly being greeted by the maids and butlers. They laughed and shared funny stories with one another about their groups and past experiences. They then decided to walk outside even thought it was a bit late in the night. At around ten in the evening, was the time when assassins start their missions so both individuals had to be careful.
"So um Ikuto..." Amu started.
"Yeah Amu?" Ikuto said.
"Well aren't you worried that somone might see us together? Ya know because we're enemies and all? " Amu asked.
"Not really, I mean just because we're enemies, doesn't mean we have to hate each other outside the job, right? There haven't been any new missions to compete in, and I think both of us need a break from being leaders anyway." Ikuto answered her coolly.
"Well I guess..." Amu trailed off. 'Oh my god, this is so awkward! I can't believe I'm talking to Ikuto normally!'
"Then let me ask you a question Amu" Ikuto said, his face becoming serious. Amu tiltled her head. "Why were you walking alone in the middle of the night yesterday?"
Amu groaned, "How many times do I have to tell you Ikuto? It's none of your business. Why do you care anyways?"
"Cause I worry about you.." Ikuto said quietly.
"What?" Amu asked suprised.
"Duck!" Ikuto said dodging a bullet. Amu followed his actions.
"Tch come on let's go Amu," Ikuto said grabbing Amu's hand and running away. Amu blushed hard at the sudden contact. They started to run away from the attackers. When they reached the nearest building Amu noticed it was Easter but pulled Ikuto inside anyway. They quickly ran past everyone inside so no one would notice that their enemy was inside their building. They were so fast like a blur unseen.
Finally when they reached Amu's room, Amu opened her door, pushed Ikuto in, then slammed her door shut.
"I think we lost them," Amu panted out falling on her bed. Ikuto looked around Amu's room.
"Nice room," He commented.
"Thanks. So Ikuto what did you say earlier?" Amu asked curiously.
"Why were you walking in the middle of the night yesterday?" Ikuto asked.
"No after that." Amu said.
"Nice room?" Ikuto asked.
"No before that." Amu said furrowing her eyebrows.
"Duck?" Ikuto asked.
Amu groaned, "Nevermind."
Ikuto inwardly smiled, "Whatever you say Amu". Ikuto went to Amu's bed and plopped on it. He was lying down beside Amu and stretched his limbs out like a cat. Ikuto looked up and noticed something in Amu's hair. He got up and climbled on top of Amu. His long arms kept him stable while he towered over her.
"What do you think you're doing Tsukiyomi?" Amu asked irratatedly.
"Really Amu? Back to last name basis? Anyway, I'm trying to get something out of your hair." Ikuto said taking out whatever was in Amu's hair.
Now to them this is nothing but from someone else's point of view...well let's just find out shall we?
Suddenly Amu's door swung open and in came Yoru.
"Amu! I just heard you came ba-..." Yoru stopped. His golden eyes bulged. "What is he doing here!" Yoru yelled, pointing at Ikuto frantically.
Ikuto looked up at Yoru calmly, "Yo" he said.
"Amu! You're too young for this! You're being tricked by this bastard!" Yoru cried.
"Yoru calm down! I'm only hiding him here because we were attacked!" Amu said.
Yoru immediately stopped his rant and his jaw dropped, "What? Wait, so you weren't doing the unspeakable?"
Amu blushed, "N-no! Of course n-not!"
Ikuto sweat dropped, "Jeez Yoru, you're such a perv.!"
"I'm not!" Yoru protested. "Anyway who attacked you?"
"I don't know but all I know is, they're not assassins from Halloween or Easter. So please don't tell anyone Yoru!" Amu begged.
"Alright I'll keep quiet but only if he doesn't cause any problems for us," Yoru sighed pointing to Ikuto.
Amu sighed in relief, "Alright" she looked at both brothers "Do you guys want something to eat?"
"Chocolate taiyaki" They both said at the same time. Then glared at each other.
Amu sweat dropped, "You guys really are brothers."
Ikuto POV
As Amu exited the room I quickly began a conversation with Yoru.
"So how have you been, Yoru?"
"Great until you came," Yoru sneered.
I sighed, "Look, I know that things haven't been great and dandy between us two but I want to change it."
"Oh really? And why would you want to do that?" Yoru asked sarcastically.
"Well, I was talking to Sora a few weeks ago and this is what she said.."
(Flashback)
Sora and I had just come back from a mission and we decided to relax by sitting outside, eating our favourite chocolate cake. She start to stir her drink slowly while resting her head against her knuckles.
"Ya know what Ikuto?" Sora asked gazing at the sunset.
"What?" I asked.
"I really wish our family was back together again," She sighed drinking her milk. I stayed silent letting her continue. "I guess it's really my fault to begin with." Sora smiled sadly then started to sniffle."If I didn't leave in the first place, then all of us would still be a h-happy f-family." There were tears flowing down her stricken face.
"Dad would've still been a good man, Mom would still be her optimistic self, Utau wouldn't of had to learn the horrors of realilty at such a young age, and Yoru wouldn't of had to grow up killing people instead of being loved by his parents." Sora sobbed.
I quickly rushed to my sister's side and pulled her into a comforting embrace.
"Shh..it's alright. It's not your fault. You're not to blame." I soothed her.
"B-but the family felt apart b-because I l-left," Sora cried.
"No, it wasn't because of you, it was because of me.." I confessed.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" Sora asked me.
"After you left, I was envious of your freedom and decided to leave the family also. What I didn't know was that this changed our parents drastically and affected Utau and Yoru too," I admitted.
Sora gasped. "Really?"
"Yeah," I said quietly looking down. I felt a hand touch my cheek reassuringly. I looked back up to see Sora staring at me with gentle eyes.
"Ikuto, I have decided! Both of us will try to get our families together so we can be family again! Are you with me?" Sora said holding out her hand.
I took her hand and nodded. "Definitely," I smiled.
(End Of Flashback)
"Onee-chan really said that?" Yoru asked on the verge of tears. I nodded. "Jeez now I feel bad not accepting her proposals to join you guys" Yoru sighed.
"That's why Yoru, please ignore the conflict between us and be my brother again. Sora would be really happy." Ikuto said.
"Alright," Yoru smiled.
"Give me a hug why don't you?" Ikuto asked.
"Sure." Yoru said hugging his brother after many years. It really was a heart warming moment. Especially for a pinkette who was lingering by the door. Amu giggled a bit before entering the room.
"My, my what a cute moment you guys are having with the hug." Amu giggled.
"Amu! Its' not what you think!" Yoru said embarrassed letting go quickly.
"Ya! I'm actually straight!" I yelled.
"Are you calling me gay!" Yoru yelled at me.
"Oh so you finally figured out?" I smirked.
"Why you...!" Yoru started.
Amu sweat dropped, "Boys will be boys I guess"
Sora: Hey! Thanks for reading! This chapter I guess you could say was one of my most dramatic out of all the other chapters.
Ikuto: Haha Yoru's gay
Yoru: You're the one who wanted a hug! So you're the gay one!
Sora: Alright! Shut up! Cheese and rice man! You two bicker like an old married couple!
Ikuto and Yoru: HEY!
Amu: Please R&R! ^_^
