-Recap-
''I see. Well if you need anything, I'm here for you.'' He gave me a quick hug and walked away.
I can't believe he did that! Was it actually the real him or is he teasing me? I looked at give shocked and he just gave me this tiny smile. I looked away and waited till Rima and Nagihiko came back. Suddenly, my head started spinning and I felt really hot. Then my vision blurred and I started swaying. Rima and Nagihiko were running at me screaming my name and then everything turned black.
-End of Recap-
Amu's POV
I woke up and found myself in the Nurse's office laying on a bed. I looked around and saw Ikuto, Rima, and Nagihiko with nervous expressions. They all smiled when they saw me wake up.
''Ms. Kichi, Amu-chan has woken up,'' Nagihiko called out.
''Ah Amu! It seems you have fainted in class because you had a slight fever. Did you happen to do anything out of the ordinary this morning?'' Ms Kichi asked.
''A-ano... I did walk to school this morning..'' I replied hesitantly.
''Idiot! It was raining!'' Ikuto said out of nowhere.
I gave him a cautious look and sighed. ''Well that's the reason I live so close to the school.''
''Okay, well this fever is nothing to worry about! All you need to do is rest in here today and you'll be fine! Don't worry about missing class because I've sent a pass to all your teachers saying that your sick and to please count you present,'' The nurse cheerfully said.
''O-Okay. Thanks for staying with me Rima, Nagihiko, Ikuto,'' I murmured and nodded at them.
Rima and Nagihiko smiled and walked out. Ikuto stood there for a bit in a quiet manner before muttering, ''Get well.'' and strolling out without another glance back at me.
Ikuto's POV
Amu suddenly fell to the ground and her friends and I had to help her go to the nurse. She woke up about 10 minutes later and I found out she had a little fever by walking to school in the rain. I thought that was weird but then again, she did live about 3 blocks from school. I strayed back a bit to watch her then did something I haven't done before for awhile. I actually said a caring sentence to her with no teasing or taunting meanings. Well she is an interesting girl. I smirked to myself.
Amu's POV
-After school (I'm sorry for all the POVs)-
I grabbed my backpack, slinging it around my shoulder, and walked outside. Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia had tried to keep me company while I was in the Nurse's so I decided to do something special for them next time. I barely turned at the gate when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I glanced up with alert on my face which softened when I saw Ikuto, but he was smirking at me with that irritating little face of his.
''What do you want?'' I sighed.
''I'll walk you home so you don't do anything rash.'' he answered.
I rolled my eyes. ''Whatever.''
The walk was silent except for my charas and Yoru talking. When we were about a block from my house Ikuto decided to finally say something to break the awkwardness.
''I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7:30.''
''W-why? I can walk by myself with my charas!'' I retorted.
''Who knows what you'll do if you can't wake up right. Besides, too much sleep is bad for you and you can get tardy,'' His said in a monotone voice.
''Okay whatever then Mom.'' I laughed. ''See ya later and thanks for walking me home.'' I gave Ikuto a quick smile and opened my door. He smelled somewhat.. nice. WAIT what? Why did I just think that?
Ikuto's POV
Amu gave me a smile for walking her home? Hm..Maybe I should walk her home more often, hopefully I can upgrade.. to a hug.. a kiss.. I smirked. Oh Ikuto, this is so you.
''Ikuto nya, I like that Miki person!'' I chuckled at what Yoru said and flicked him lightly.
''Do you like Amu?'' He asked curiously.
''Maybe.''
She was pretty amusing and smelled like strawberries. I wouldn't mind getting close to her and-Wait.. Maybe I am perverted like she says. Oh well, what have I got to lose?
Normal POV
-Next day-
Amu woke up the next morning to her alarm clock and groaned. She went to the bathroom and got ready for school. After she got out of the shower and dried herself, she put on her uniform. She added some silver cross earrings that dangled from her earlobes and a black ribbon around her neck that had a cross also. Amu rummaged through her drawers and found black stockings and slipped them on, looking at her mirror above. She took her hair that reached halfway down her back and put it in a side ponytail by her right ear. Amu took a hair tie that had a skull clip on it and tied it neatly. She plugged in her straightener and waited for it to warm up. Suu floated from upstairs and held out Amu's breakfast.
''Amu-chan eat up, desu!''
''Thanks Suu! This looks delicious!'' Amu smiled animatedly.
She quietly ate her eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit salad while staring at her reflection. Suu started going on cooking healthy foods for Amu so she would stay in shape. Of course Amu would cook here and there but she rarely felt like it or had the time. Amu picked up her straightener and trapped the bangs surrounding her cheery face. She then divided it to either sides and glanced at her clock. 7:25. Amu walked downstairs and slipped on some flats. Opening the door, she was surprised to find Ikuto was waiting outside right there.
''Hey Amu.'' He nodded.
''Hi. Can we walk to school now? I want to walk around the school..'' Amu asked.
''Sure, whatever. Lets go.''
The stroll was pretty quiet except for the chatter between the 5 charas. As soon as Amu and Ikuto reached the school, everyone turned to look at them.
One of the fan girls screamed her head off. ''Look! Hinamori Amu and Tsukiyomi Ikuto are dating!''
Everyone turned to the two and soon hearts and sparkles appeared in their eyes, not to mention the fiery aura surrounding others who were filled with jealousy.
''Geez, look what you did by walking me to school Ikuto!'' Amu snapped harshly at him, forcing a blush back.
''Not my fault. It's the reputation we have, being popular. And stop hiding that blush Amu-koi,'' Ikuto whispered into her ear and smirked.
''S-Shut up!''
Amu's POV
He knew I was blushing? Wait since when was I his girlfriend? What an arrogant bastard. Okay well I'm sort of excited that he called me that but it doesn't seem right. He is just teasing me! ...Right? He probably doesn't even know that I sort of like him back and gave up on Tadase a few years ago...
X-x-Flashback-x-X (Normal POV)
''H-Hinamori-san, will you like to go out with me? I've learned that I don't like just Amulet Heart, but you.''
''S-Sure Tadase-kun!.''
Amu smiled at the memory and was on her way to visit Tadase when she heard giggling around the corner and stopped. She peered around and found the source of the noise. A couple. Suddenly she saw familiar faces. It was Tadase and the new girl at school, Dani. Amu and Rima thought she was a slut because she always tried to flirt with Kukai, Nagihiko, and Tadase but failed miserably to impress Kukai and Nagihiko. Her heart immediately dropped into the pit of her stomach as she quickly whipped her head back to the wall and listened.
''Oh Tadase-koi!''
''I love you Dani-chan.''
''But what about Amu?''
''Oh don't worry about her. I'll tell her tomorrow.''
Amu gasped quietly and peered over to find them kissing. Her heart broke at the scene and she ran away crying. Amu just sprinted to wherever she could but suddenly she bumped into someone not a few meters away from the spot. She looked up with tear-filled eyes to find Ikuto looking down at her with worry written in his eyes.
''What's wrong Amu?'' He whispered quietly.
''You can see for yourself after Tadase asked me out!'' She muttered and pointed to the corner.
Ikuto sauntered over there and turned around to see what happened. Clenching his fists, he spun back and walked to Amu.
''Amu you don't need to date him, after all, don't you think he was using you to get to see Ran's side of you? Or even the lock?''
''I guess he used me...'' Amu looked down shamefully to the ground when she felt arms wrap around her.
Ikuto was hugging her. ''I'm still here Amu.''
-Next day at school-
''Hinamori-san! I have something to tell you!''
Amu walked up to Tadase and slapped him across the face. ''That's for cheating on me!''
Then Ikuto appeared next to Amu and smirked. ''She sure taught you.''
''Theiving cat!''
And from then on, Tadase and Amu just remained friends but didn't talk to each other much except for important things.
X-x-End of Flashback-x-X (Amu's POV again)
''Amu, Amu, AMU!''
I looked up to find Ikuto shaking me slightly for zoning out.
''What were you thinking about? Me?'' Ikuto smirked
''No I was thinking about what a bastard Tadagay was.'' I replied angrily.
For a moment, Ikuto looked slightly taken back but he remembered the memory too. He just chuckled and led me into school. He dropped me off at my first period but leaned over to whisper something in my ear. ''If he touches you and hurts you again, tell me.''
I was filled with a bit of giddy and said the first thing that came to my mind. ''Thanks Ikuto I love you! ...F-For always being t-there for me!'' I added quickly with a blush, catching my major mistake. But for a second, I swore I saw Ikuto smiling. I ran quickly into class and sighed. I did slightly love him though, he was always there for me in those years.
Normal POV
Amu zoned out during first period but she was lucky because all they were doing was talking about an upcoming test to see what they knew. The bell rang for second period and Amu's new friend, Momoko, walked up to her and griined, ''Ready for second?'' Amu nodded and walked to her locker quickly to get her Samsung Gravity (Aqua) out. Together, they headed to class and sat down in the assigned seats the teacher put them in. Mrs. Miyuki put Amu by Ikuto, Nagihiko, and Rima, with just her luck. Rima and Nagihiko started hanging out more and everyone thought that something was up with them. Sadly, Rima would always vehemently deny it and Nagihiko just changed the subject.
''Hey Amu!'' Nagihiko and Rima greeted.
She beamed. ''Hey guys!''
Amu took out her phone and started texting her cousin, Kiko, in Tokyo. She was sad when she heard the news that their house had burned down but kind of brightened up when she heard that she was going to move in with Amu and complete her school year at Amu's school. Kiko was a senior so Amu hoped she'd get classes with her. Amu's great grandparents were famous singers and had a lot of money. When they died, all their wealth was divided up between their grandchildren and each one received about $500,000. Kiko and her family had only bought a small house because a big house would have been too much to take care of. Plus, Kiko's parents were magazine editors and worked busily all day.
''Any trouble?''
Amu looked up to see Ikuto sitting at the table and was leaning casually back in his chair. ''No, not yet.'' Amu replied and returned to her phone. She received a text message saying that Kiko was going to bring her whole wardrobe and makeover stuff because she wanted Amu to be in the higher popular status besides her 'CoolnSpicy' one. Amu sighed in typed in this:
OK, OK watevr u say... But my CoolnSpicy attitude is good enuf isnt it? I mean ur my best cuzin so u should understand everything! I mean come on! We did everything 2gether when we were little!
Amu slid her phone shut and bit her lip. Suddenly, Mrs. Miyuki got up out of her chair to make an announcement. ''Class as you know, the Fall dance is coming up and this year, the theme will be casual and a little dressy.'' Faint murmurs traveled around the class and then Mrs. Miyuki resumed her position. ''Please turn your books and study the history of Spanish. This short activity will be the only thing to do today.'' Amu and her group finished in 5 minutes and they got bored so they started talking about the dance.
''Rima-chan would you like to go with me?'' Nagihiko asked shyly.
''I guess.''
Amu was shocked, a goofy expression on her face before blurting, ''Are you guys dating or something?''
''Now we are,'' they both said at the same time. Rima and Nagihiko looked at each other with a faint blush on their cheeks.
Bzz, Bzz, Bzz. Amu looked down to find a text message from Kiko.
Amu's POV
I slid my phone up sideways and read the message. OK watevr Amu-chan lolz. Im coming to ur house dis weekend! Im so xcited! xD And i looked at ur skool page and a dance is coming up rite? I will so b there to give u a makeovr! I laughed and started clicking away on my cell phone. Ok Kiko-chan. I bet ur gonna get sum hot guy to ask u out alredy when u get here! i cant wait till u visit. I need help with problems... Besides u can move into my apartment with me! i have an xtra room. I closed my phone and looked up to find Ikuto looking at me.
''What?''
''Nothing Amu-koi.''
Rima and Nagihiko smiled coyly. Rima stared at me knowingly. ''So you guys are dating?''
''HECK NO!'' I snapped.
''Not yet but we will soon.'' Ikuto said smirking.
Lunch and the rest of my classes went by fairly quickly except for English. That class I had with Kukai, Yaya, and Tadase. Tadase kept glancing over at me which sent shivers down my spine. After school, Ikuto waited by my locker and walked me home.
''Ikuto! I don't need you to walk me anymore! My cousin is coming to live with me soon!'' I complained. Besides, this ruins my reputation. I added mentally.
''Amu give me your phone.'' Ikuto said, completely ignoring my comment. I blew my bangs out of my face angrily and huffed. ''Here!'' He took my phone and held out his iPhone 3G. Whoa, he sure is rich. Ikuto typed stuff in my phone for a moment and called his phone before finally handing me back my phone.
''There, you have my number.''
I muttered a couple of harsh words before stomping the rest of the way home. Little did I know Tadase was following us, about 5 meters away.
Ikuto's POV
Damn. That bastard Kiddy King is following us. I leaned down to tell Amu that we were going to go a different way since someone was following us. She quickly nodded and followed my path. I lead her through the park, into an ally, and back onto the street of her house. Kiddy King was finally gone and I sighed.
''Tadase was following us Amu.''
She looked scared for a moment and then returned to a calm facial expression. ''Thanks for walking me home Ikuto. Who knows what he might have done..'' Then she bent her head down. Somehow this made my body want to react. I had to show her I was here for her!
Amu's POV
I found out that Tadase was following us.. Oh perhaps stalking. Now I guess these walks with Ikuto are somewhat useful. Suddenly we were at my door and I took out my key. ''See you tomorrow, Ikuto.'' Suddenly he did something out of the blue. He reached out to pull me into an embrace and quickly kissed me on the forehead. ''See you tomorrow Amu-koi. Call or text me if you have any trouble.''
I felt immense heat rising up to my cheeks, my heart fluttering inside my body. ''O-okay.''
And with that, he walked away.
I took a minute to ponder what just happened. Shaking my head, I turned to knob to the door. Suddenly I saw something unfamiliar about the place.
Queenie: There is everyone happy! My fingers and eyes hurt! I went to sleep at 4:00 AM today and woke up at 9:30 AM! So sorry my brain can't focus. This chapter was probably just something out of my mind... Oh and if you all find mistakes please tell me! =D
