Lalala I'm really bored. Can you tell? XD
Anyway, I know I said I'd get this up on Wednesday….but obviously that didn't happen. And I am sorry about that. I had a really busy Wednesday. And I'm moving AGAIN, so I'll try and write out more and more sooner, but ya know, I have to pack up my entire room, which is not an easy feat, and then pack up some of the other stuff in the kitchen and then in the bathroom and blah.
I'm perfectly content staying where I am, but NOOOO my mother had to get a boyfriend and screw everything over for me. Oh and I'm getting two new stepbrothers living with me, it's that GREAT? Yeah no. One is older by a year and the other is younger by a year. I'm not going to be a happy person…
Anyway, sorry about the random rant. Heh, thanks to:

CHAPTER 7
Sunday brought nothing of importance but watching TV, doing homework, hunting with Hikari and being taught how to fly without Miki. When Amu awoke Monday morning, she got up and got ready for school. Miki was back in her cage and the window was shut. A knock on the door made her move fast. When she opened the door she found Nadeshiko waiting for her.
"Hey Naddy! Come in. I'll just be a few minutes."
She rushed around the house and got everything together then left with Nadeshiko.
"So how was the meeting?"
Damn…she remembered…well of course…she's Nadeshiko…. "It was fine. Not all that interesting."
"What was it about?"
"Photography!"
"Really?"
"Yep!" Amu laughed nervously. She was never one to be a good liar. "Like I said, really boring."
"I see…"
They walked in silence for a while. Amu was worried about what Nadeshiko was thinking. If she ever found out about what Amu was now, she'd freak out! Not that Amu could blame her. Vampires-or in her case, Vampiras- were considered monsters.
When they reached the school, Utau, Kukai, Yaya, Rima and Nagihiko were waiting for them. Rima looked irritated to be standing right next to Nagihiko, but he was just smiling at her angered face.
"Morning everyone!"
"Hi! YAYA HAS TO LEAVE NOW! BYE!"
With that, Yaya ran off into the school. Amu gave a questioning look."Don't ask, 'cause none of us know."
Kukai slung his arm around Utau's neck and smiled. "Shall we get to class?"
"You actually want to go to class? You sick or something?"
"No! I just heard something interesting was happening today."
"Yeah like what?"
"Well we'll have to go to class now won't we!" Kukai released his girlfriend and dashed off, "Come on slowpokes!"
Utau shot a glare after her boyfriend before speeding off to catch up with him. The other four sighed and walked towards their classroom. Nagihiko and Rima had a different class together, so they parted with Amu and Nadeshiko shortly after entering the building. Utau and Kukai had the same homeroom as Nadeshiko and Amu, so when the two girls got there, the couple were already there and out of breath.
"I won!"
"Did not!"
"Aw don't be a sore loser Utau. You know I won!"
Utau stuck her tongue out and everyone just laughed. Those two were just so perfect for each other. Rima and Nagihiko were perfect for each other as well, but they would just never admit they have feelings for each other. Amu sat down in her seat and Nadeshiko took hers. The other half of the class filed in and the bell rang. Their teacher came in, dropping all the books and papers. "Good morning class!"
Everyone was laughing, "Good morning Nikaidou-sensei."
Nikaidou chuckled and picked up his stuff. He set it on the desk then grabbed the attendance sheet. "Okay class, before I call attendance, I'd like to introduce a new student. He just moved here Tokyo. You can come in now."
The door opened and Amu's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Standing there was an EXACT Ikuto look-a-like, but without the cat ears and tail. He smirked at all the ooos and giggles coming from the girls. He walked up to the front board and wrote his name.
"My name is Tsukiyomi Ikuto. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Some girl fainted and was rushed off to the infirmary. Nikaidou rolled his eyes and looked around. "Let's see…you can sit by…Yamabuki-san, right in front of Himamori-san."
"It's Hinamori!"
"Right right Himamori-san. Anyway, go sit."
Nikaidou waved Ikuto off. Saaya was perfecting her already perfect make-up, probably trying to look good for Ikuto. Amu sighed and looked out the window. There was no way this was the same guy that she had met Saturday night. He looked the same, and he had the same name. But no cat ears, which meant they couldn't be the same.
Naikaido was taking attendance and Amu wasn't paying attention. Suddenly something slithered up her skirt right when her name was called. In response, she shrieked and jumped out of her seat.
"Okay, Himamori is definitely here. Sit back down please."
"Y-Yes sensei."
The class was snickering but Amu wasn't paying attention to them. She was listening to the person in front of her, who was also laughing but a lot quieter. "What's the matter, Amu?"
He spoke low enough for only her to hear. Her heart felt like it was racing, even though she knew it was still. "You jerk…was that you just now." she spoke in the same quick, whispered tone as he did. Too quiet for any human to hear.
" Maybe…was it something like this?"
The same feeling on her thigh caused her to look down. His tail was sliding up her thigh. "Pervert!" he chuckled and the tail disappeared, "You better be careful, or you'll get caught."
No response came from the boy in front of her. The class went on with nothing more said. Occasionally his tail would sweep on her thigh or on her leg. At one point she almost grabbed to it yank on it, but it disappeared before she was able to. Finally it was time for P.E and she walked out of the classroom.
"Hang on Himamori-san!"
"It's Hinamori, Sensei. What would you like?"
"Tsukiyomi-san was never given a tour, and he needs to get to his next class. Would you mind taking him to the gym?"
"Okay sensei."
Ikuto smirked at her and walked beside her. The other girls seemed furious that Amu was the one chosen to lead Ikuto around. They started walking toward the gym and Ikuto just looked forward with a stoic expression.
"So what are you doing here?"
"Curious about me Amu?"
"N-No…"
Amu had to remember to keep it quiet. If anyone else heard, it was over for her.
"Hm? Is that so?"
"Yes! You perv."
Ikuto chuckled softly. "Is that all you're going to call me? A pervert? I have a name."
"Fine…Ikuto. What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to come try out a human school. It sounded interesting."
"Okay…but why MY school."
"Because-" he stopped short when they got to the gym.
"Amu-chan! Come on-" Rima stopped and gazed at Ikuto. "Who's this?"
"New guy. I'm showing him where the gym is.""Oh. Hi. I'm one of Amu's friends, Mashiro Rima."
"I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
Rima seemed a little flustered, as Amu expected most girls would be. Ikuto was as gorgeous as gorgeous could be. Nagihiko came by looking slightly annoyed at Ikuto's presence. "Hello, my name is Fujisaki Nagihiko. And you are?"
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
"Nice to meet you. Now come along Rima-chan, lets not ogle the new kid and get to class.
Rima blushed and punched Nagihiko's shoulder before storming away. Nagihiko walked off towards the boy's change room.
"That was interesting. Was that that emotion called jealously?"
"Um…yeah…you've never felt jealous?"
"No. I've had no need to."
Amu nodded. "The boys change rooms are over there. See you in class." she darted off into the girls change room. As soon as she entered she had a group of girls gang up on her.
"Why where you with Tsukiyomi-san?"
"What did you two talk about?"
"Are you planning on dating him?"
"No you can't! He's going to be mine!"
"Like hell!"
Amu was able to escape as the girls fought over who was going to get Ikuto. Nadeshiko, Utau and Rima were sitting there laughing. Amu changed quickly and they walked into the guy together.
"Well Tsukiyomi-san seems interesting. Do you like him Amu-chan?"
"No."
"Ooo I think she does!"
"I don't. I don't even know the guy. We just met!"
"Oh love at first site! How sweet."
"You're one to talk Rima!"
"What?"
"Oh come on. You totally have feelings for Nagihiko!"
"I-I do not!"
"Haha! You're blushing! You totally do!"
Rima scowled at the floor as Nagihiko and Kukai walked over. Yaya bounded out of the change room and glomped on to Kukai. She did that a lot. They were childhood friends after all. He laughed and pulled her off. "Come on Yaya, my girlfriend might get jealous."
Utau flicked her hair behind her back, "As if."
"You know you love me!"
"Yeah."
"If you guys are going to make out, go somewhere else. No PDA!"
Utau and Kukai blushed and sat down. Rima and Nagihiko were snickering. Nadeshiko was giggling lightly and Amu was watching the hordes of girls crowded around Ikuto. He was calmly talking to each on of them until the teacher told them to sit down. Ikuto was pulled by Saaya to sit with her group. Ito-sensei explained that they would be doing soccer. They walked outside and he picked the teams, Ikuto and Amu were on different teams.
"I'm guessing we can't use full speed."
"That's right."
"Can do. And I'll still beat you."
"You're on!"
The game started and Amu's team got the ball first. Amu raced to get the ball and shoot it in the other team's net. Ikuto stole the ball from he before she could shoot it. Thankfully Amu had Kukai on her team and he was able to steal the ball from Ikuto. Kukai shot it to Amu and Amu kicked it in the net.
The game continued on. Amu's team would win one, then Ikuto's team would win one. Eventually when the game was over, Ikuto's team was the winner, as they has exchanged goalies and there was a female on Amu's team. She was like putty in Ikuto's hands. All he had to do was wink at her and she fainted, allowing him to shoot the ball in with no problems.
When everyone had gone back to change, Amu felt something slide under the back of her shirt. "Looks like I win. Do I get a reward?"
"Like hell."
Amu was able to grab his tail, but it disappeared in her hand. She stormed off into the change room. All the other girls were exhausted.
"Jeez Hinamori, it's like you're inhuman or something! Aren't you tired?"
"Yeah, I'm just good at hiding it."
Rima was slumped over on Utau's shoulder. "That wasn't fun."
"You say that about every sport in PE."
"'Cause sports aren't fun."
The girls laughed and got changed it was lunch next but the others were getting lunch at the cafeteria. Amu made her way to the usual spot, as Yaya had dragged Nadeshiko off with her to the cafeteria. When she got there, Ikuto was leaning against the fence, smirking at her.
"Why are you here?"
"To see you."
"How'd you know I would be here?"
"Your scent is here."
Amu felt the need to blush, but she knew she couldn't. "You never answered my question. Why did you come to my school?"
" Because-" he got up from the fence and captured her chin with his fingers. He tilted her head up and looked right in her eyes, "You interest me."
Amu couldn't help but feel like she was melting, staring into those smouldering blue eyes. Her body started reacting on its own and she moved slightly forward.
"What are you doing!"
The sound of someone climbing on chainlink and the thud of feet on the ground snapped Amu out of her trance. She turned her head to see Tadase glaring at Ikuto.
"Ah, Hotori-san. Nice to see you again."
"Shut up Tsukiyomi."
"Tadase! What are you doing here?"
The three turned to see Nadeshiko with Yaya, who looked extremely confused.
"I came to bring you your lunch." Tadase shoved a box into her hands, "You forgot it."
"Oh. Thank you Tadase!"
He nodded and glared at Ikuto.
"Keep your hands off her Tsukiyomi."
"Are you going to make me?"
Tadase kept glaring until the Utau and Kukai arrived. He sighed and looked over at the girls. "You guys still wanting to go camping this weekend?"
"YES!"
"Alright…I'll see you then."
With that, he climbed back over the fence and walked away. Everyone just kind of stared after him.
"He seemed like he was in a bad mood Naddy."
"Yeah…I wonder what's wrong."
"He seemed really mad about Tsukiyomi-san being with Amu-chan. Do you two know each other Tsukiyomi-san?"
"No. I've never met him before. I wonder why he didn't like me."
"Maybe he's jealous about you being with Amu-chan!"
Amu shot a death glare at Yaya.
"Did you invite him for lunch Amu-chan?"
"Huh? Oh…yep!"
"Alright!" Kukai high fived Ikuto, "We needed some more testosterone in the group! Glad to have you man!"
Soon everyone was eating their lunch and chatting. Ikuto had some sushi so he and Nadeshiko talked about the different sushi dishes they enjoyed. Suddenly Yaya stopped eating, which was rare for her. "Where's Rima and Nagi?"
Everyone looked around but didn't see a single sign of them. They shrugged and kept eating. Soon, the two in question appeared. What made everyone stare was Nagihiko's arm around her waist and Rima's flushed face.
"YOU FINALLY ASKED HER OUT!"
"Yep! She's all mine now."
Nagihiko kissed the top of her head, causing Rima to blush deeper. "Knock it off Nagi."
"Whatever you say, Rima-koi."
If Rima's face could have gotten any redder, it did. Nagihiko looked pleased with himself and they sat down together. Lunch continued on and everyone was bugging Rima about finally admitting her feelings. When the bell rang, everyone parted their ways and went to class. Everyone had a different elective in this period.
"What elective do you have Ikuto?"
"Music."
"You play an instrument?"
"Would I be in music if I didn't?"
"…S-Shut up!"
Ikuto chuckled and Amu showed him the music room. He slipped inside and Amu walked into Fashion Design. About half way into class, a girl came running into the classroom yelling, "YOU ALL HAVE TO COME TO THE MUSIC ROOM! LIKE NOW!"
All the girls got up and ran to the music room. Amu just slowly made her way there. As she got to the music room she heard the most gorgeous sound in the entire world. She gathered it was a violin. But she was too far back to see into the music room, even with her vampire eyes. Girls were ooing and awwing and eventually Amu rolled her eyes and gave up. She walked back into class and continued on with her work. Some girls came back in all smiles.
"He's so amazing! Isn't he?"
"The best! No one can compete with him!"
Amu looked over at the girls, "So who was that?"
One of the girls looked at her. "You can't tell?"
"Only the GOD of the school."
"We have a god?"
"Yeah! He just transferred in! Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
The girls giggled and Amu shook her head. But she smiled lightly. So Ikuto plays the violin eh? He's really good…the sound was so beautiful.
Amu continued on with her work until the bell rang. She gathered her things and met up with her friends at the front of the school. They left together, all talking about Ikuto.
"He's so gorgeous!"
"And he's really taken a liking to you Amu-chan!"
"Yeah yeah…"
"So are you planning on asking him out?"
"No! We just met!"
"So maybe next week?" Amu cuffed Utau lightly-and she had to make sure it was very very lightly- upside the head. She laughed and ran off down her street with Rima. "BYE!"
Kukai went down his street with Yaya. Then it was just Amu and the twins. Nagihiko was all smiles, which was normal for him anyway, but he seemed extra happy.
"So how'd you get her to admit her feelings for you?"
"Well my dear twin, that is a secret!"
"Aw come on, you're not going to tell me?"
"Well…lets just say actions speak louder than words."
"So you two made out?"
He blushed causing Nadeshiko to pat him on the back. "Good job Nagi, good job."
Amu laughed and Nagihiko was silent the rest of the way to Amu's house. Tadase was waiting for them, looking as grumpy as he had at lunch. Nadeshiko caught on to it right away and said goodbye quickly. She dragged her brother off and then the car sped away. Amu looked off after the car. She wondered if Tadase was mad at her, or if he was mad that Ikuto was around.
When Amu got up to her room, she found a note on her bed.
Dear Amu,
I'm sorry but I've been called away. You'll have to go hunting yourself.
~Hikari
Since it was only about 3:30, she had to wait. She did her homework and then settled down to read until it was dark enough for her to leave. When it was, she changed, grabbed Miki and opened her balcony door. She was about to leave when someone grabbed her from behind. She turned to attack whoever it was, but saw that it was Ikuto, smirking at her.
"Relax Amu-chan. It's just me."
"W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"Ouch, no need to yell."
"Sorry…but why are you here?"
"I went to pay a visit to Hikari-sama, but Hotori-san was there, he said she was gone, so I came here. Would you like to go hunting with me."
Amu stared at his face. No emotions were present. He was gazing up at the half moon.
"O-Okay…B-But I'm not good with flying…"
Ikuto jumped lightly and hovered a few inches above the deck. He extended a hand to her, smiling lightly. "I'll help you."
Amu took his hand, not looking at him and was lifted into the air. He started moving towards the forest. He still had a hold of Amu's hand, so she pulled it away. "I-I can fly by myself. I-It's just the take off…"
"Isn't Hikari-sama teaching you?"
"Yes…but it's just not clicking."
"So you need a little extra practice, I can help if you'd like."
"You're being awfully nice."
"Would you rather me be a pervert?"
"No! No, that's fine. Nice guy is good."
Ikuto smirked and then he was shooting in front of her. She took that as a challenge and shot after him. They raced as fast as possible, just making a circle around a patch of forest, at one point, he circles over her and shot down into the trees. She followed him and was caught before she hit the ground. They toppled down to the ground and landed with a loud thud on their backs. Well, Amu landed on her back, Ikuto was hovering over her. They stared at each other for a while before Amu tore her eyes away."Get off me."
"You're not in any pain."
"Get off me anyway!"
"Hm, but I like it here."
Amu shoved him off and sprang up. He stood up gracefully, a smirk plastered on his face.
"Let's go find some deer."
They ran off to find their prey. It didn't take very long and they each took one down. But Ikuto had to take another one, and was finished that before Amu was finished her first. Amu wiped off her mouth and stood up. "Why two?"
"I've never had to be around so many humans and NOT kill them."
Amu laughed nervously but went and patted Ikuto on the shoulder. This surprised him. "You did a good job Ikuto. I was impressed."
He stared at her in shock before smiling lightly. "Thank you Amu."
Amu smiled up at him but then felt something slide up her skirt. She covered her mouth so as not to scream out loud and backed away. She blinked and he was gone.
"Ikuto?"
She heard him chuckling and looked up. He was laying on a branch with his tail and ears out in full view. Amu looked at his swishing tail, itching to pull it. "So what's up with the cat features?"
"You wanna know?"
"You said you'd tell me on Saturday!"
"Ah but that was Saturday. This is Monday."
"Fine! I didn't want to know anyway!"
Amu stormed off into the forest, what she gathered was towards town. Ikuto followed behind her, leaping between the trees. "Aw come on Amu, don't be so cold."
"Shut up! Go away."
He chuckled and swooped down and picked her up. She crossed her arms and pouted as he carried her up into the treetops. He sat her down against the trunk and sat down on the same branch. "Would you like to know about the cat features?"
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Yes."
"Fine."
"Well, I won't tell you unless you ask."
"But you said-!"
"I'm waiting~!"
Amu scowled. "W-Will you please tell me about your cat ears and tail?"
"Alright. And that wasn't so hard, was it?"
"Shut up!"
"Now that's not very nice."
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Fine fine. So you met my 'dad' right?"
"Yeah…Kazuomi-san right?"
"That's him. Well in truth, he's not really my father. He's my stepfather."
"Oh…so your real father…"
"Is a cat demon. Tsukiyomi Aruto. Kazuomi took on my father's last name when he married my mother."
"How does that even work."
Ikuto shrugged. "Anyway, so my mother is a vampira and my father is a cat demon. So I'm a half breed."
"Oh…so is your father…"
"Dead? No. He left. I don't know where he is, nor do I care. He left when I was really small, and it made my mother have to remarry that idiot."
Amu just closed her eyes and nodded. She felt saddened by Ikuto's story. She didn't know what it was like to lose family…but she knew in a few decades, all her family would be dead. "Have you ever thought about finding him?"
"No…it's not worth it." they sat in silence for a while before Ikuto jumped off the tree and started to hover. "We should get going."
Amu nodded and was about to call Miki over, but Ikuto covered her mouth with his tail. Amu shot him a glare.
"Try it by yourself."
He moved the tail away from her mouth. "WHAT?"
"Just lightly jump off the branch and concentrate. It's not that difficult."
Amu stood up and looked down. They were really high up. She knew that if she fell, she wouldn't die. But still, she'd rather not fall out of the tree. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and jumped off the tree limb.
Yes, I'm leaving it right there! I was going to leave it at: 'Someone grabbed her from behind'. But I decided that would be mean and there needed to be some Amuto bonding time! XD
Oh and if you didn't get it, the slanted talk was talking so low and fast that only vampires could hear it. If it's got quotation, it's vampira speak, if not, it's someone's thoughts, mainly Amu's. Just making that clear!
Anyway, uh…review please? I like reviews, they make my day.
And how was this chapter? Good? Bad? Ikuto a little too OOC? I'm sorry if anyone is….I'm basing them off people in my book and it's hard to fit in personalities and stuff…bah.
In any case, review are much appreciated! Thanks for reading!
