Chapter 6

Normal POV

Amu woke up the next morning in total bliss, she didn't bother opening her eyes while she was enjoying the warmth that surrounded her. She had a nightmare yesterday but when she heard someone whisper in her ear that she would be okay and no one would hurt her, she felt so secure. She snuggled into her pillow but instead of soft and fluffy, she got hard and defined muscle – like a chest.

Wait, my pillow doesn't feel hard! She started panicking! She was in more disarray when she felt a strong hand lingered on her waist and pushed her towards a mysteriously hard area. She felt the warmth again. She thought that the pleasing heat was from the sunshine. She felt another breath in her face and she shot her eyes open.

She couldn't see anything at first, soon she realized that is was because her face was buried in the person's neck. She inhaled the scent and found it relaxing before her inner voice screamed at her that she could have been kidnapped by someone. She struggled inside the strong gripped of the person and managed to break free.

She lifted her head and saw a midnight blue-haired man lying on the bed with her. She looked around her and found that she wasn't in her house. Wait, where was she? She turned her head and looked the man again once again, it was her boss!

Then her brain recalled the event that had happened yesterday. She was chased by her step father and he hit her. But, how could she have escaped her step-father? Then she remembered Ikuto was screaming and helped her run before he brought her to his house. She also recalled Ikuto had talked to her after she gained her concious yesterday and he knew her condition right now.

She lifted from the bed slowly, trying not to wake up her boss. She walked towards another door and finding that it was the bathroom as she walked inside and proceeded to strip from her clothing after closing the door behind her. Taking an inspection of the room she found a walk in shower and smiled, stepping in and turning on the water she sighed. The running water, though cold for only a few short minutes, felt good on her tired body.

She also noticed that the wounds on her body hadn't closed and it burned when the water hit her body. Quickly forgetting about it she continued to wash her worries away.

Ikuto woke up and saw that the pinkette had dissapeared from his sight. Panicking he fumbled out if his bed and looked around frantically. As he walked up to the bathroom door he sighed. Running water could be heard from inside and quiet humming also found its way to his ears, making him smile.

Returning back to his bed, he remembered that she had promised him something. They were going to play a game soon. He hadn't bothered to play his with anyone. Never finding a reason to. He was going to find out the pink-haired girl's secret. Today.

As he was thinking on his bed when he heard the bathroom door open to revealed his bed mate. She wore nothing except a small towel that hardly covered her small yet sexy body. Ikuto smirked when he saw the pinkette blush. Hell, it made her look irresistible.

He couldn't wait much longer to taste her hot body, to see her withering underneath him in ecstasy. He erased the thought from his brain as he walked towards the pink-haired girl. Even though scars covered her skin she still looked so beautiful. Nothing could compare the pink jewel that not stood in front of him .

"Tsukiyomi-san,..." Amu began to say when Ikuto approached her.

She was blushing not only because she wore nothing but a small towel but also because ofIkuto's half naked form that stocked towards her. He wore nothing except boxers, she could she his well built body and his muscular arm – not to mention his toned stomach.

"Like what you see, Amu-chan." Ikuto said to the pinkette letting his hand find its way to herwaist.

"N-No!" Amu said but her face was completely red. Ikuto chuckled at the pinkette shy form, itwas like a light switch for him, making him feel hot and bothered.

"Tsukiyomi-san,..." Amu tried to say again but she was cut off by Ikuto.

"Ikuto. Call me Ikuto, Amu." Ikuto told the pinkette. Amu's face redden once again.

"Ikuto, can I borrow your clothes?" Amu asked the midnight blue-haired man.

"Sure." Ikuto letting his hand fall from her waist, as he walked towards his dresser and took one of his shirts out before throwing it to Amu.

Amu ran towards the bathroom and changed herself. Not long after that, she opened the door and stepped outside. She wore Ikuto's big shirt that ended up an inch below her butt. She let herself walked into the bedroom once again and met Ikuto's gaze.

The man was so pleased to see her wearing one of his favourite shirts. When she stretched her arm he could see her panties. He smirked at the sight but he managed to turned his head away. The pinkette wasn't aware of his action as she walked towards the man and said thank you.

Ikuto excused himself and walked towards his bathroom to take a cold shower. She had absolutely no idea what type of effect she had on him.

Soon after Ikuto left the bedroom, Amu let herself wondered around his house and she found her destination – the kitchen. She walked inside his kitchen but stopped by a maid.

"Amu-sama, do you need anything?" The maid asked Amu.

"Nothing." Amu said as she began to walked away but suddenly an idea popped in her head as she spun on her heel and walked towards the maid.

"Actually, can you help me do something?" Amu asked the maid.

"Sure Amu-sama, what do you need?" The maid asked Amu.

"Please, just call me Amu." Amu told the maid.

"As you wish." The maid bowed towards Amu as Amu told the maid what she needed.

Ikuto finished his shower and walked into his bedroom but found no one. He he chuckled knowing that the pinkette has wondered around his house letting her curiousity get the best of her. He changed himself before walking out of his bedroom to go looking for the pink-haired girl.

He found her sitting at the dining table with a breakfast served on the table. She didn't eat anything as she waited for the man she had worked so hard for. When she saw Ikuto she stoodand walked towards him before she pulled him to the dining table and let him sit at the head of the table. Some of the maids giggled at the sight, their master never let a woman controlled him yet he didn't do anything and let the pinkette do as she pleased.

Amu pulled Ikuto towards the table and she served him his breakfast. Ikuto ate the breakfast when he noticed the pinkette gazed at him. He raised his eyebrows towards the pinkette and the girl spoke.

"Do you like it?" Amu asked the man.

He nodded because this was one of his favourite dishes – blueberry pancake with hot chocolate.

"I'm so happy you like it!" Amu exclaimed as she ate her own breakfast.

Ikuto looked at Amu in confusion

"Today breakfast was made by Amu-sama, Young Master." The chef spoke up.

Ikuto smiled, he knew that the taste was off, but it tasted better than what his chef had ever made.

Amu was so happy, she wanted to returned the favor to Ikuto because he had saved her. She knew that she needed to tell him the whole story and she couldn't run away any longer from her past. So after the breakfast, Ikuto led Amu towards his private study room. Amu sat at the couch and patted the seat next to her, and Ikuto complied. She knew that Ikuto had tons of questions that he wanted to asked her.

"Amu, how about we play a game?" Ikuto asked the pinkette.

"What kind of game? Don't tell me it is 'Truth or Dare'!" Amu exclaimed.

"No, its called "Tell Ikuto the Truth". He said in all seriousness. "I'll ask you question and you'll asnwer it honestly, same goes to me." Ikuto explained.

Amu nodded she had expected this, Ikuto knew her condition after all. So she agreed.

"I'll start." Ikuto said as Amu nodded her head in approval.

"First, you're living on your own right now?" Ikuto started.

"Yes, I ran away. Why do you help me?"." Amu answered.

"I don't really know, I guess it call instinct. Your real family had died?"

"Yeah, in a car accident. You're an only child?"

"Yep! Would you tell me your story, Amu?"

Amu was hesistate at the fisrt but she couldn't help herself to trust the man beside her. So, she told him all of the pain she had felt, how her step parents abused her and why she ran away. She cried while she told him her story and Ikuto unconciously wrapped his arm and hugged the pinkette. The girl felt secure once again.

Amu lifted her head and looked at Ikuto's azure eyes. Ikuto slowly closed the distance between his and Amu's face, kissing her slowly. It was a soft kiss at first before Ikuto nipped her lower lips and made Amu gasped. Ikuto took the chance to slipped his tongue inside her mouth battling for dominance. Amu surrender at let Ikuto explored her mouth completely. The part away to breath before Ikuto claimed her lips once again. The kiss soon led onto something futher. Ikuto hold Amu's petite body as Amu lingered her feet at Ikuto's waist and let the man brought her to his bedroom without breaking their kiss.

Once they were inside his bedroom, Ikuto slammed the pinkette on his bed and he positioned himself above her. He let his elbow support his figure so he wouldn't crashed the small body below him. He kissed her again and again. He nipped her earlobe and earned a moan from the pinkette. He let himself to kiss futher down the pinkette.

From her lips down her neck and he didn't forget to nipped at her neck to mark her. He slowly roamed his hand inside her shirt and let his big palm cupped her breast. She moaned when she felt his hand slowly squeezed her breast.

"I..Ik..Ikuto!" Amu managed to say as the man squeezing her breast.

Ikuto stopped to looked down at the shivering and saw the girl was crying. Ikuto controlled himself once again as he hugged the pinkette.

"Amu, I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." Ikuto told the pinkette and he rested his head on her shoulder.

Amu shook her head.

"It's okay, I love you..." Amu said without thinking.

The two were shocked when Amu let the words slip. Ikuto didn't take too long to proceed the words as he slammed his lips down on hers once again.

"I love you too, Amu." Ikuto whispered to the pinkette .

"Please Amu… If you would let me I want to be by your side, to be there and to protect you. I love you so much, I want to be with you…please accept me into your heart." Ikuto asked in a pleading voice, completely forgetting about his idiotic bet with Tadase. He really loved thisyoung woman underneath him and he would be calling it off soon.

Amu shakily said "No" and moved from underneath him.
