Overcome

Chapter Two

- Breakfast? -

*Yawn*

Ikuto couldn't help but stretch out his arms and legs before turning round to lie on his side, his head probbed up with his hand. He stole a sneak peak at Amu's bed only to find it empty; bed all made up.

"Ohayo Ikuto-san." Sang Yuro, as he popped in front of Ikuto's face.

Ikuto turned back round to lie on his back; ignoring the cat-like creature. He stared up at the ceiling with his hands behind his head for a few moments before acknowledging his friend.

"Yuro, where's Amu?"

"Oh, yeah, she left a note."

Yuro flew over to her bed, then picked up a piece of paper from her pillow.

"Here Ikuto." Said Yuro, popping back in front of his face again.

Ikuto took the note from him and rubbed his head in thanks. As if on cue, Yuro began to purr. Ikuto smiled at Yuro's reaction before looking down at the note Amu left.

Ikuto

Left for school.

There's some left over tuna in the fridge. Don't make a mess!

Love Amu

Ikuto noticed the scrolled out love and couldn't help but give a giggle.

'She's so cute.' He thought.

"What's so funny Ikuto?" Questioned Yuro, looking across Ikuto's shoulder to the note.

"Ahh, tuna!," shrieked Yuro, "come on lets go!"

Ikuto watched Yuko fly out the door; screaming as he went. But then Ikuto remembered something important.

"Wait, baka!"

Ikuto scrambled off the floor; throwing the blanket and the note on the floor in a hurry. Rushing out of Amu's room he suddenly remembered that her parents and sister could still be in the house. However, when he reached the entrance to the living-room, there was no-one there.

Ikuto slowly walked into the living-room looking all around him for any signs that someone might just come poping out. When he reached the kitchen area he could see Yuro trying to open the fridge door, with no success.

"Ah, Ikuto, it's in here." Yuro said, pointing at the fridge whilst licking his lips.

"Baka, what if Amu's parents where at home?" Ikuto leaned against the kitchen entrance and folded his arms glaring at his companion.

"Hehehe, they can't see me Ikuto, remember?"

"Yes but her sister can, remember?" Ikuto remarked.

"Oh! forgot hehehe" Yuro scratched his head with a smirk.

Ikuto just sighed at Yuro before advancing towards the fridge door. Inside the fridge where what seemed to be leftovers of last nights meal; a bowl of rice, some miso soup and finally the bowl of tuna. Ikuto took out the bowl of tuna and placed it on the counter-top before turning back to shut the fridge door.

"Hey, leave some for me."

Ikuto had turned round to see Yuro devouring all what was left of the tuna. But Yuko had carried on eating as if he hadn't spoken.

"Guess I'll have the soup then."

Yuro glanced up at Ikuto and noticed what he was wearing, or in fact, wasn't.

"Umm... Ikuto?"

"Hm?" Was all he said as he began to heat up the soup in the microwave, watching it go round as if fascinated with it.

"Aren't you gonna put your top on?"

With that Ikuto looked down at himself and saw that indeed he didn't have anything on to cover his chest.

"I fell into a pond Yuro, remember?"

"So... wouldn't it be dry by now?" Yuro flew over to where Ikuto was standing, hovering by his shoulder.

"So... it will be smelly and damp feeling... I'll wash it before I leave."

"Ooooooh... ok... what can I do?"

*Beep*

"Whatever." Ikuto took the bowl out the microwave and sat himself down at the table.

"Oh, ok."

When Yuro saw that Ikuto really did look like he didn't care he flew away back up to Amu's room.

"Uhm, what can I do?"

Yuro was flying back and forth across Amu's bedroom when something on the floor caught his eye. He went down towards the garment that lay on the floor next to the screen door.

"I'll wash this for Ikuto-kun! Now that's something I can do." He smirked.
