A/N: No I'm not dead. My computer didn't crash. I didn't update because of pure laziness… On the bright side I decided to do so today… ^_^

Recap:
"One, two three…" Ikuto started to count. I really don't want to go out with him, I'd much rather go out with Tadase since he's so sweet and kind. "Five, six, seven." By this time everyone was gone and I was the only one left standing there. I quickly dashed for the stairs.
-End of Recap-
Amu POV
I decided to go to the third floor since it was the farthest from Ikuto…no way I'm going out with him! As I was running up the stairs I heard faint noises coming from behind me causing me to glance back. To my relief there was nothing there and I continued. I reached the final step on the staircase and proceeded ahead into the hallway. I started walking down the hall and heard squealing coming from one of the classrooms. I fastened my footsteps, faced the classroom door and slowly slid it open.
"Hello?" I whispered while looking around the empty classroom expecting something to jump out at me. Wind came rushing in through the open window which made me shiver.
"Utau I was here before you."
"Yaya was here before Utau and Rima!" I took a step into the classroom and the voices stopped immediately. I had no idea what Utau and Rima had to do if they were found first since Ikuto whispered it to them...it even made them blush!
"Yaya, Utau, Rima…you here?" I questioned out loud already knowing the answer, I saw Yaya pop out from under the desk eagerly with a smile on her face.
"Is Amu hiding here too?" Yaya whispered. I shook my head.
"No, I don't want all of us to be found together." I answered quietly. Yaya sighed loudly and looked up at me with a determined look.
"Yaya's going with Amu then!" Yaya cheered while pumping a fist in the air.
"If you're going to come with me then you have to be quiet." I warned the girl who quickly nodded her head.
"Good, she's been making noise all this time!" Utau snapped as she peeked through a crack from the closet. "There's no way I can do what Ikuto wants…not yet." Really what was Ikuto's request?
"Alright let's go." Yaya said while approaching the classroom door, she slid it open with so much force the door nearly broke off and started running down the hall.
"Maybe giving up candy won't be so bad for her." I sighed as I followed Yaya down the hallway. She was running so fast I couldn't keep up…what makes her so hyper it can't be candy alone? Or can it? I stopped running and rested my hands on my knees. There was really no point in keeping up with her; she was in her own little world.
I searched for a place to hide since Ikuto would probably look for me first. I came across a closet…janitor's closet? I tried to go in but the door wouldn't open but it wasn't locked instead it was jammed in some way. I gripped my hand firmly on the doorknob and pulled as hard as I could. Unfortunately thanks to Newton's third law I ended up falling backwards onto the hard floor. (A/N: at least I think so O.o)
"Amu?" I glanced up to see ruby eyes gazing at me. "Are you alright?" Tadase offered his hand
"Yea, I'm ok." I mumbled as I took his hand and he helped me up. Wait! This is the first time I've ever spent alone with Tadase! I could feel myself blushing. "So…how's life treating you?"
"Everything is okay." Tadase smiled. "But are you alright, I heard about what Ikuto did to you yesterday."
"Oh, that…" I focused my attention on the ground.
"I don't think that Ikuto is fit for you." Tadase took a step closer to me."You deserve someone better than that." I was lost for words; I didn't know what to say. Was this a confession? It couldn't be. Tadase was at such a close distance I could feel his minty cool breathe making its way onto my face. He then removed a strand of hair from my face and leaned in closer. I closed my eyes slowly waiting for the gap between us to be closed. Seconds later I felt his soft lips upon mine and a sensation was built up inside of me. I didn't resist at all, the kiss was gentle unlike Ikuto's. He pulled away with a surprised look on his face while looking to the right. I glanced into the same direction to see Ikuto standing there looking emotionless.
"Fifteen minutes is up, it's time to go back downstairs." Ikuto said nonchalantly as he walked down the dark corridor as moonlight shone on him through the windows. Both Tadase and I followed silently not saying a word to each other. Shortly we met up with the others…most of them looked relieved except for Rima and Utau.
"So who's the unfortunate one that has to follow Ikuto's orders?" Kairi asked while pushing up his glasses. Ikuto simply pointed to Rima and Utau, it didn't seem like he was satisfied.
"Yaya's glad she decided to leave you two in the classroom!" Yaya chimed in.
"Damn it." Rima and Utau muttered in unison.
"Okay who's the seeker for this round?" Kukai asked excitedly with a grin.

Utau, Ikuto, Kukai and I were in Biology class and we were currently working in pairs of two for a lab activity. Utau was with Kukai and I was paired up with Ikuto. Ikuto wasn't being himself since last night, he wasn't teasing me or anything…not that I like it!
"Um…what's wrong?" I asked as I placed my goggles over my eyes. He didn't even look at me; he was pretending to read the directions from the textbook. "Hey!"
"What?" He replied obviously annoyed. I positioned my hands on my hip and restated the question. He raised an eyebrow a t me and sighed. "It's nothing you should be concerned about."
"Oh, look I got mine to turn blue, can you do that?" The troublesome red head known as Saaya yelled out disrupting everyone.
"I could do that with food coloring." Kukai joked, Saaya glared at him causing him to stop his laughter."Geez the girl can't take a joke, always saying 'look at me and what I can do!' Damn it's annoying." Hearing this from Kukai made me giggle.
"Can you go get more materials from the teacher?" Ikuto questioned as he focused on the beaker in front of him. He noticed I wasn't moving and he finally looked at me. "Are you going?"
"Not unless you tell me what's wrong." I crossed my arms over my chest, Ikuto walked away heading for the materials on the other side of the room. He came back with three small packs of sugar and continued working. "Fine be that way."

"Oh guys, I've wanted to ask this for some time." I stated while laying down on my bed in the dorm. "What was Ikuto's request?"
"I'm sure he would tell you himself if you asked him." Rima replied as Utau nodded in agreement.
"The thing is he won't talk to me unless absolutely necessary." I frowned. Rima and Utau smiled mischievously at each other/ "W-What is it?"
"This has happened countless times to other girls. These girls use the weirdest and craziest methods in order to get Ikuto to talk to them." Utau explained. "But only one method was successful."
"Okay…what was it?" I asked nervously.
"Seduction." Rima smiled evilly while patting me on the back. "You don't want to have an awkward date with Ikuto tonight do you?"
"No but there's no way I can s-seduce him…he's a playboy!" I blushed furiously.
"Exactly! He's a playboy so he'll enjoy it. Plus this way we all have to do something we don't want to do by tonight." Utau grinned.
"N-NO WAY!" I dug my face into a pillow.
"If you don't who knows what kind of things will happen to you tonight." Rima said in a scary tone.
"Rima is capable of doing terrible things." Utau admitted seriously. After what seemed like hours of debating I gave in. "Now would you rather be a bunny or a cat?"
I don't think we have anytime." I mumbled as both girls stared at me with aggravated faces.
"And why is that?" Rima queried stubbornly while gazing at me with intimidating eyes.
"Uh…well…We have to get ready to go out like right now." I said nervously.
"You're right." Utau sighed and gave me one last look "But don't worry we'll make sure that you'll do it later on tonight."

Normal POV [For the first time :O]
The three girls left their dorms looking absolutely beautiful while earning some stares from both males and females. Amu was wearing a bubble dress that stopped at her mid thigh, the upper half was white while the bottom was black, there was a pink belt wrapped around her waist and she wore black open-toed high heels. Rima had on a simple peach dress with a black belt and black flats. Utau was wearing an elegant scarlet red dress that stopped at her mid-thigh with black high heels.
"Where's Yaya?" Utau asked suddenly.
"She's probably spending time with Kairi…again" Rima answered abruptly. "Who would of known those two could get together…a candy freak with a super computer."
The trio arrived at the restaurant on campus within minutes. Amu gaped at how fancy 'Golden Olive' seemed. The girls walked pass the glass doors and entered. They searched for their dates for a few minutes until they spotted four handsome men standing in a corner.
"I don't want to go through with this." Rima muttered as they approached the group of boys. The purple haired boy greeted Rima with a smile but the blonde completely ignored him.
"We're not sitting together." Kukai stated while rubbing the back of his head. The trio of girls stared at him intensely. "The dates are separate." Amu glanced at the brunet surprised, fully knowing that the atmosphere would be even tenser between her and Ikuto.
"Let's go then." Utau ordered while examining the disheveled brunet. Kukai did as he was told and lead Utau away to a table. Nagihiko and Rima soon did the same leaving Tadase, Ikuto and Amu.
"Maybe we should get going." Tadase suggested as Ikuto walked ahead towards a table next to the window. Bothe the blond and pinkette followed him with worried looks. They all took a seat quietly and silence fell upon them. The atmosphere was surely uncomfortable but Tadase and Amu didn't expect what came next.
"So, I saw you two kiss last night."

A/N: Ikuto seems a little OOC to get mad over a kiss…anyway ALL IS WELL! Gosh I'm such a procrastinator :D
