Chapter 6: A Secret Room & Secret Lovers

Amu's POV

"Come on." Ikuto scooped up our clothes and threw them at me. We both got dressed and walked into his room. "Your bed?" I was confused. We walked right by his bed, his closet? He stopped and pushed some of his clothes aside. He moved his hand over the wall slowly and then part of the wall slid open. "Okay a secret hole in the wall. Not what I had in mind." Ikuto laughed and pulled me inside. "This 'secret hole' leads to a whole other room that nobody else knows about." The wall slid shut behind us. There was a faint glow that was probably about ten feet away. Ikuto stopped again. This time a red light crossed over his face. "What was that?" I asked as I heard the locks on the other side clicking open. "A retina scan. It checks my eyes, it's sorta like a password." He led me throught the open doorway. The room was gorgeous, black silk covered the bed, a curtain of black velvet surrounded the bed. A silver rope was hanging next to the curtain. "What's the rope for?" I asked climbing on to the bed. Ikuto sat next to me, "Maybe if you pull on it you'll find out." His voice was teasing. I pulled the silver rope and the black velvet enveloped us and made sort of a wall. I pulled it again and the curtain slid back in place. "So what do you think?" Ikuto asked gesturing to the rest of the grand room. I saw a bar on the far side of the room, it was well stocked with bottles and liquor. On the other side of the room was a stereo system with speakers the size of small dressers. A wide leather couch was pushed against the wall. A small chandelier hung from the ceiling. It's amazing, but, I wonder; what's with the black rectangle things on the walls?" Ikuto raised an eyebrow, "Oh those. They make the room soundproof so no body can hear what's going on in here but we can hear what is going on out there." I nodded my head. My thought wandered to the bar. Ikuto seemed to be able to read my thoughts, "You know beer before liquor will make you sicker." I looked at him with a 'please explain' look on my face.

"If you drink beer and then liquor you'll have a killer hangover, if you dringk liquor and then beer you won't." "Oh, that makes sense." I said. Ikuto was behind the bar with two glasses. He poured rum and Coke in one of them and then took a drink from it. "What can I get you?" Ikuto asked looking at me. "Do you have Malibu?" I asked. Ikuto smiled, "You drink already?" I looked down, my clothes stuck to me. My body temperature rose, "No…yes…maybe a little." Ikuto let out a throaty chuckle. He grabbed a white bottle and poured it into the other glass. "You know we could get in a lot of trouble." I said drinking from my glass. "We won't leave until we're sober." Ikuto said smiling. Ikuto was already pouring himself another drink, I drained mine carefully and hiccupped. He looked at me, "Another one." I said. I felt my body lean to the side. Ikuto smiled and ggrabbed a bottle from the shelf. He tipped the bottle over my glass. It was clear that he could hold down his liquor better than I could. It wasn't long before I was dancing around. Ikuto turned the stereo on, but I couldn't tell what song was playing but I started dancing with Ikuto. I started grinding against him, my arms hooked around his neck. I moved up an ddown his body. His lips caught mine and his arms wrapped around my waist. His lips were gentle against mine, "Amu," Ikuto's voice was soft. "Hm?" "Nothing," Ikuto sighed and I laughed. I heard some one else's voice other than Ikuto's. "Have you seen Amu or Ikuto?" We both stopped to listen. "No, not since last night." I identified these voices as my mother and Ikuto's mother. "Maybe they went out." Ayame (Ikuto's mom) said thoughtfully. My mom snorted, "Yeah right, like that would ever happen. That is highly unlikely, Amu is always so hostile when ever Ikuto is brought up. Haven't you ever noticed that?" Some one sighed, "That is true." "Do you know why she acts like that?" my mom asked. She wasn't completely aware of what happened the last time we came here. "You remember the last time you guys came over for Christmas?" Ayame asked. "Yes, did something happen?" my mom's voice was concerened. "The day after Christmas when you and your husband went out Ikuto was in the living room tuning his violin." It all came back to my in vivid flashes.

Amu's POV

He was still tuning his violin. I walked towards the living room, if I don't do this know I won't do it ever. "Ikuto," He looked up from the strings. "Thanks for the new one, my other one was getting pretty old." I nodded, "I thought you would like it." I sat down across from him on the couch. I can't say it, it's just to embarrassing. Ikuto leaned toward me and put his hand on my forehead, "Amu, are you okay? You look a little sick." I took a deep breath, "I wanted to tell you," I stopped, my breath was caught in my throat. "What did you want to tell me?" He asked, he was sliding closer to me now. He was kneeling in front of me. I was screaming at my self on the inside. Just say it already dammit. "I …love you." I choked on my words as they flew out of my mouth. I looked at Ikuto, I'd never seen him look so befudled.

ShugoPrincess: Yep that's it folks…..
