Chapter 3
Amu's POV
It was him!
It was him!
It was him!
My mind kept screaming that line. I didn't know he was still my age. God! He even looked more mature and older than me than in the past. I hoped he didn't recognize me. I'm still feeling stupid from the event from last night. I looked at him for awhile from head to toe and when I gazed back at his face, his eyes looked into me as if he was was venturing into my thoughts. It gave me a sense of uneasiness, which shocked me.
Third POV
Tadase stopped in the midst of introducing himself when he suddenly caught a glimpse of bright pink. It was her; the girl from before. The waitress that cried and ran away yesterday; he smiled to her and he saw the blushed that plastered the cutie's face. He walked to her taking a seat behind the amusing waitress. He saw the girl talk to her friend beside her, who has blonde haired like him, after she realized he was making his way towards them.
After her conversation, the teacher began to teach the lesson with a boring, mellow-toned voice. Amu didn't bother to take note of it seeing that the lesson, itself, wasn't for great importance. She felt herself slowly drift to sleep as she blocked out the lecture and let her surroundings slowly deteriorate. It wasn't long before she was engulfed in the dream world. She dreamed of all the wonderful things she remembered for before making her smile subconsciously.
"Amu..." She suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Amu..."
"Not now, I'm trying to sleep." Amu mumbled.
The sound of laughter suddenly made her realize where she was. Her eyes snapped open almost falling out of her chair. The teacher glared down at her, if looks could kill, she would be dead. The class seemed to drag on for hours after the incident when in actuality it was only forty-five minutes. She was ready to leave this class full of embarrassment.
When first period finally ended, everyone ran to the door wanting to get out to prepare for the second period of the day. Amu trudged to her locker and opened it, putting down her books and preparing to head out to the gym. She didn't need to change her uniform though, her gym teacher had been informed that she wouldn't be joining the class today. Instead, she needed to write an essay about the lesson she drowned out, her punishment. She was about to closed her locker until her phone rang. She took it out and saw the sender, her mother.
Amu, come home right now! Your father is in hospital. He's in coma!
-Mom
A gut-wrenching feeling of worry came over like a wave. Even though Amu hated her parents she didn't want to abandon them in a situation like this. Her friends didn't know about her family condition. They didn't know that she had been abused every chance her parents had. They just didn't know. She always wore long sleeved shirt and baggy jeans to kept her scars hidden. She would refused to go to the club, party, and mall, all because of her wounds. Her parents deprived her of her life with their constant abuse, but now, when they were hurt she couldn't leave them like they would always do. No, she wouldn't be like them. She had to show them that she was stronger, that she was capable of living. She wouldn't abandon them.
Amu ran to her home quickly and found her mother crying in her room making her stop at the doorway. She had never seen her mother this fragile, this weak. It made her scared all over again, but nonetheless she walked in and hugged her. Her mother froze from the sudden contact before shaking with rage pushing her away, beginning to hit her.
"YOU EVIL CHILD! ITS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU THAT HE IS IN COMA, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" She screamed as she continued hitting and kicking Amu in her stomach, not caring for her well-being. Instead of fighting her, Amu just sat there, waiting for her mother to calm down. It wasn't strange that she was mad, it was just her actions that were wrong, but was this outburst because of her? Was she really the cursed child? Was that why no one looked at her as if she mattered?
She was the abandon child, the one no one wanted, she just a cursed girl. Her step mother told her that all her life. Deep down in her heart, she knew that she really was the abandon child, she was the damned child, the child of Satan.
She always wanted to run away from this house, from her parents, from everybody. She wanted to be alone and disappeared where no one would find her so she could die in silent. Those were her hope, she didn't believe in love anymore. She didn't trust anyone anymore except her best friend. She couldn't tell anybody about her pain, about how she felt. Amu sighed turning her eyes to the sky. Maybe she was like her parents after all.
The time had arrived, the chance to go away, to feel free, to be happy, and to be love …
Two days after the news of her father, Amu had a chance to run away from her home. She found a small apartment downtown near the club she worked the day she knew she needed to leave. She wasn't expecting her chance to arrive so quickly, but maybe it a sign that this was the right thing to go. Finally, her freedom was right in front of her. Her mother left for the hospital that morning and wasn't expected to be home anytime soon. This was the best opportunity. She packed all her clothes and brought along with her purse which held all her small belongings. It was roughly three in the afternoon when she walked through the door and into her new life. Her story was just beginning.
Amu ran as fast as she could. It was an hour before her shift in the nightclub and a week since her disappearance from her home. No one filed a missing persons report, so they knew she was gone for good. Now her only problem was Ikuto. She hadn't encountered him nor his friends for a while making her feel safe.
She arrived at her small apartment not bothering to unpack anything as she quickly grabbed her extra clothes and ran to the club for work. She told Utau that she moved out but she didn't tell her the reason. She just wouldn't understand.
Amu sprinted towards the back door of the club and slipped into the dressing room. When she walked out from the staff room, she saw him, the perverted-midnight blue haired boy. She tried to go unseen so he wouldn't spot her but she was too late, Ikuto has caught the glimpse of pink and started to make his way towards her, a smirk plastered on his face. He failed last time but not this time around, no. Today, he came with Tadase since Nagi has to practice his dance moves and Kukai was still training, while Kairi wanted to practice kendo.
As he approached to her, he saw her adorable, shocked face. Of course, he knew that the pinkette wanted to ran away, he could see it in her eyes. When Ikuto finally appeared in front her, he quickly slipped his arms around her waist slowly leaning near her to whisper sweet words into her ear. All the eyes were trained on them, some jealous others curious, but no matter who was watching, his gaze was locked on her.
"Hey babe, miss me?" Ikuto asked her and started to nibble on her earlobe
"No!" Amu yelled, "Let me go" she demanded him to release her, but he just kept his smirk and called 'the boss' again. He just gave Amu the same orders, no need to work just to accompany him. This irritated the pink-haired girl, but for the sake of money, she went along with it. Amu sighed in defeat as she followed him to his table and saw Tadase. She blushed suddenly when she saw him give her a soft, gentle smile.
"Hi Amu-chan, it's ok for me to call you Amu-chan, right?" Tadase asked
"It…It's ok. Can I call you Tadase-kun?" Amu questioned, a blush still painted on her cheeks. Ikuto didn't like this scene. They seemed too familiar with each other and it was getting annoying. He cut Tadase off.
"Amu-chan..." Ikuto called her with a seductive voice.
"Stop it, it's Hinamori for you" Amu said to Ikuto abruptly causing a smirk to form on Tadase's lips. Ikuto swore he never wanted to rip a smirk off of anyone's face so badly before.
Flashback
"Hey Ikuto." Tadase greeted him.
"Yo" Ikuto didn't pay much attention to him as he looked around to find the pink haired waitress. He hoped she was here.
"Looking for Amu-chan I assume" Tadase said with a knowing smirk. The sound of Amu's name caught his attention making him turn around and face his friend.
"Amu-chan? Where the hell did that come from?" Ikuto asked him.
"Oh, we're in the same class" Tadase replied calmly with a wave of his hand as if he was glutting.
"I see" Ikuto replied him. They were silent for a minute as the two scanned the room nonchalantly.
"Want to make a bet?" Tadase asked him with a mischievous grin bringing his eyes back to his dark headed friend.
'What is that?" Ikuto asked. He was always up for a good bet.
"Easy, who can fuck her first is the winner and the loser has to do whatever the winner says... for a month." Tadase smiled.
Ikuto grinned, he wouldn't lose this bet.
"Deal" Ikuto replied. "Get your gloves ready, my room is a hell hole."
End of flashback
That's right, the game has just began and he was positive he wouldn't lose to this stupid kiddy-king. He was determined to make Amu fall for him, get her in bed and be done with it. It was a simple task for him.
"Amu, let's play" Ikuto stated with a playful tone.
"No" was her short reply.
He smirked, if she didn't want to play with her own will, he would make her play whether she liked it or not.
"Amu, let's play a game, just once." Ikuto pleaded in a comical way.
"I said no!" she refused.
Tadase felt a bit annoyed, he didn't want Ikuto to win this game. He had his pride on this bet this time and he couldn't lose it, not to Ikuto not to anybody. He asked her to bring him a drink as she gladly accepted it and rushed to get his order. As she walked away both boys gave one another a hard glare before going to their respective 'corners' to plan their next attack. Tadase was already concocting a plan while as Ikuto was simply going off with his boyish charm. He needed back up.
Ikuto texted Kukai about his bet with Tadase and asked him if he had any ideas to help. Kukai would definitely him. True, he and Tadase were friends but his world domination and king act was really testing his nerves making Kukai side with Ikuto. There was no doubt in his mind, Ikuto had to get laid.
Soon after, Ikuto received Kukai's reply causing a smirk to form on his face. He thanked Kukai for his advice, now being sure of his victory.
Prepare yourself Hinamori Amu because our game has just begun.
