Recap:
Hunter and Chasidy's parent started calling them, they both scarfed down their ice cream at the same time and Chasidy said before taking off with her brother, "Bye Ikuto! Wait, before I forget, you should give me your number." I recited Ikuto's number as she put it in her phone, "Kay thanks bye!" Then she took off.
I had a lot of stuff to talk about to Ikuto when I call him.
(Ikuto's POV)
I tried my best not to slap Amu's charas silly, they kept asking me if something was wrong with me and that I'm not acting like my usual self, I kept ignoring them.
We reached the house and Amu's dad came out, he gave me a hug and said, "There you are!" I struggled to say, "Y-yeah, what do you need me for?" Tsumugu released his grasp and said, "I'm taking you and Ami to the mall with your mom because I am nice like that." 'Mall? Should I be excited for this?' He waited for my answer until I finally said, "Uh…Mall! Yeah, sure! I would love to go! Let me just uh…get ready." I walked past him and into the house and notice him raise an eyebrow.
In Amu's room, the charas were there waiting for me, hovering over my bed, I shut the door when I got in. I walked over to my full length mirror and sighed, 'I miss my body…' The charas flew over to me, Miki said, "Hey, what's up with you?" 'How do I answer this?' I was going to say something like, "Nothing," when there was a sharp pain towards Amu's… Well you know. "Amu! What wrong desu?" Asked a very concerned Su, something didn't feel right, 'What the fuck is going on?' I needed to check this out so I ran into the bathroom, when I pulled down my underwear and sat down, my eyes widened and I screamed like Amu would. But I wasn't thinking I was. Amu's underwear was now drenched in blood, could this be her menstruation? 'OH MY GOD!'
Somebody pounded on the door, "Amu! It's your dad! What's wrong?"
"I-I'ts umm…!" I blushed.
"What is it?"
"GIRL STUFF!" 'I never thought I'd ever say that in my life.'
There was a long pause, then Tsumugu yells, "MIDORI!"
"WHAT?" She yells back,
"COME TALK TO AMU!"
"WHY? WHAT'S WRONG?"
"UM..UH.. SHE'S UH…"
"BE RIGHT THERE!"
Soon afterwards, there was a knock on my door and Midori said sweetly, "Hey sweetie, you wanna let me in?" 'Should I?' I decided to go with it and said, "Yeah." She came into the bathroom and my charas quickly flew into the room before she could shut the door. The charas gasped, and Su fainted. In Midori's hand, there was what looked to be a pad, and a tampon. I blushed like crazy.
"I knew this day was going to come really soon, so now you have to use one of these every month. I'd prefer you'd pick the pad for obvious reasons." I nodded my head in agreement, 'There is no way in hell I'm sticking that think up Amu's-' There was a knock on the door, "A-are you guys done? Is it over?" Asked Tsumugu, "No dear, not for a while," replied Midori. I heard Tsumugu whimper.
"I'll take the pad…" I said quietly, Midori nodded her head and said "Very well then, I'll leave you alone for now, but I have to show you how to use the pad first…" She showed me how, then she left. I looked down at the floor to find Miki and Ran fanning an unconscious Su. "Miki," I whispered, she looked up at me, "Can you go back into my room and get me new panties please?" She nodded her head and left. Su woke up shortly afterwards, she jumped up and looked at me, "You're BLEEDING desu! You need Band-Aids!" Ran shook her head and whispered stuff into her ear, Su blushed, "Oh yeah…how could I forget…"
Miki came back in and handed me a pair of black panties, "Thanks," I said, "Yup!" She replied. I attached the pad to it, wiped, put my stuff back on and then flushed. "Oh my God… it's so painful…" I said as I clutched my lower abdomen region and let out a little whimper. "Do you think you can walk?" Asked Ran, I slowly nodded my head and opened the bathroom door. Midori was there with a pill in her left hand a glass of water in her right, "It's to help with the cramps," She said. I thanked her and gulped the pill down, after about 10 minutes later, the pain subsided.
It was now time to go to the mall, the charas and I went downstairs to meet with the others. They were all in the car now, so I locked the door and closed it behind me after the charas got out. "MALL!" Ran shouted as she punched her fist in the air. I sat in the back next to Ami who was in her car seat, "SUPWER CHARWACTERS!" She shouted once she saw Amu's charas, "What?" Asked her mom, Ami pointed at the charas and chanted, "SUPWER SUPWER CHARWACTERS!" Her parents sweat dropped and Tsumugu reversed the car out of the driveway.
When we reached the mall, Tsumugu struggled to find a parking spot, "Damn it!" He cried, "Why can't I find a damn spot!" Once he said that, a red car drove out of its spot, "YES!" Tsumugu yelled and quickly parked the car. We parked in the END of the parking lot. "Really?" I asked, Tsumugu turned around and said, "It was the only spot!"
We got out of the car, and when we did, lot of cars backed out of their place in the front of the lot. Tsumugu grabbed his head and his face turned red, before he could start swearing like a sailor, Midori put her hand on his shoulder and he calmed down right away. We walked all the way to the front for what seemed like hours, I had to carry Ami on my back. "Amu, aren't you tired? You've been carrying Ami for a while.." Said Midori, "I'm fine, Ami is very light," I replied. She rose her eyebrow and said, "But just last week when you carried her, you said she was heavy!" 'Really Amu, really?' "Nah," I started, "She's actually really light."
Once we reached the entrance, Midori stopped and said, "Honey, I'm going to take the girls for a manicure, then afterwards I will give Ami to you so Amu and I could go have a massage." Tsumugu nodded his head and we went our separate ways. 'Manicure? I don't want no stinckin manicure! Wait, I'm in Amu's body so I guess it will be all right… I'll just pretend I like it…' "YAY! MANICURE!" Yelled the charas. We went into the salon and Midori ordered a manicure and pedicure. We had to wait on a comfy bench for a couple minutes because there were still a lot of people.
We each read a magazine, Midori was reading the furniture magazine, Ami was reading the fashion magazine (Well, looking at the pictures is a better way to put it since she's only in preschool) and the charas were hovering over her, looking at the pictures along with her, and I was reading the sports magazine. "Amu, why are you reading that?" Asked Midori as I turned the page to a picture of a professional snowboarder, "Um… I'm just uh… I'm interested in it?" She shrugged and went back to her own magazine, I let out a sigh of relief.
A woman who looked like she was in her late twenties came up to us and said, "We're ready for you," We all closed our magazines, Midori took Ami's hand and led her to her chair. On one of the chairs was a chara, she had short black hair and she was wearing a tight black shirt, dark blue skinny jeans and black high heels. Amu's charas flew up to her and said, "Hi!" Then they each stated their names, "And you are?" The chara with black hair flew next to them, "My name is Hana."
A girl who looked like she was my age came up to me, she had long brown hair in a ponytail and she was wearing her work uniform which was a red shirt and black pants. "You have 3 charas?" She said in a whisper, I nodded my head. She motioned me over to the comfy black chair, I noticed the charas getting a pedicure from Hana. "I'm Ana, what's your name?" Asked the girl, "Ik- I mean Amu, my name is Amu," I replied, she nodded her head and took a basket full of nail polish out.
"What color would you like?" She asked, "Choose for me, I am not the type to put nail polish on," 'Now that I think about it… I haven't really seen Amu wear nail polish…' "Would black with pink stripes be okay? I think that would look cute on you," I shrugged, "Sure."
"So,3 charas… The most I've ever seen was 2…" She said after she finished my right hand, "Yeah… but it's kindah hard to keep up with them, the pink one is sporty, the blue one is artistic, and the green one is a cooker, or something like that."
"Wow…" She said, then I just realized she had a slight accent and didn't look totally asian.
"Where are you from?" I asked,
"I was raised in France, my dad is Japanese and my mom is French,"
"That's cool."
"Yeah."
After she finished my left hand, she said, "How does it look?" I had to admit, it looked pretty damn cute.
"Cute." I said straightforwardly,
"You don't like it do you…"
"No! It's not that, I'm just not used to it, that's all."
"Oh, that's good, so what school do you go to?"
Before I said anything, I had to think about it since I was about to say the school I go to , "Seiyo Middle," I said finally.
"I go to Seiyo high, I'm a senior." Then I just realized she looked familiar, then a light bulb flashed above my head. I knew this girl. She's always quiet and doesn't talk to anybody, whenever I see her, she's all by herself. "So, you look like you're the quiet type…" I said, she nodded her head, "I don't seem to fit in anywhere…" It was silent for a long time.
"Well, there's this guy I like…" Said Ana quietly as she finished up my left foot,
"Really?"
"He's also very quiet and doesn't talk to a lot of people, but a lot of girls like him too, but that's just for his looks. Plus, they think he's so cool because he swears sometimes and ignores people and is occasionally a flirt, but, there's something about him… He has some sort of dark past, like me. But when he looks out the window, he's daydreaming of somebody, because he smiles and or smirks at times."
"What's his name? I probably know him,"
She blushed, "Well, if you do know him, please don't tell him I like him okay?"
I nodded my head, she took a deep breath and said, "Tsukiyomi Ikuto…"
My eyes widened and my mouth opened, "You know him don't you?" She asked, I nodded my head, "Please don't tell him…" After I calmed my senses, I said with a smile, "Don't worry." Little did she know she just confessed to me.
She finished putting nail polish on me, and I looked at my nails in awe, 'Not bad…' Midori stood next to me and said, "How cute!" Su flew next to me, "Look at my nails! They're GREEN DESU!" I smiled like Amu would. It was time to go and Ami kept pestering me about her new pink sparkly nails, I don't get how Amu can put up to this kid. I said goodbye to Ana and the charas said goodbye to Hana.
Tsumugu was right outside, and Ami jumped on him. "Ami! Don't do that or else you will ruin your polish!" Cried Midori, Ami quickly stopped moving and checked her nails. "Want to go on the merry go round Ami?" Asked Tsugumu, Ami's eyes lit up, "YES PWEASE!" Tsugumu took her hand and they skipped off.
Midori and I arrived at the massage parlor called: 'Masami's Massages' It was surrounded by glass. We walked into the room through the glass doors and smelt something so good. "Uh… mother? What's that smell?" I asked, Midori inhaled heavily then said, "That is lavender sweetie, do you like it?" I nodded my head. "Ah, you must be Midori, I'm Masami," Said this lady who was wearing faded green scrubs, Midori nodded her head and we followed the woman into a room. "This is where you will be, and as for your daughter, she will be in the room across from you," Midori nodded her head, then Masami turned to me and said, "Follow me, and someone will be with you shortly Midori."
I followed the woman to the next room, then she said, "Someone will be with you soon, then left." Before the door closed, Amu's charas flew in, "There you are Amu-chan!" Cried Ran, "Where were you guys?" I asked,
"We got distracted,"
"By what?"
"By a TV,"
"Oh, well then, why didn't you go with Ami and my dad?"
"You don't want us to be with you anymore?"
"No! it's not that! I just thought you might like going on the merry go round better than watching me get a massage!"
Ran put a finger to her chin and said, "Hmm… We haven't really thought of that…" She turned to the other two charas and said, "Let's go, See ya Amu-chan!" Then they managed to open the door, closed it, then left.
A man in who looked like he was in his late 20's came into the room wearing white scrubs. "Hi there, my name is Harou, and your name is?" I looked at him and said, "My name is Amu." He nodded his head and said, "I'm guessing you're new to this, but I will leave the room while you undress everything but your underwear, there is a sheet over there you can get into when you're finished." Then he turned around and left, leaving me feel very, very uncomfortable.
'What? I'm not going to let him touch Amu's body inappropriately! No way in hell!' A head peeked through the door, it was Masami.
"Your mom told me you might not change, do you not feel comfortable with Harou massaging you?" She asked, I shook my head, "No. Is there any way you can change the person to a female?" Masami nodded her head, "Yes, but I just want you to know that the massage therapists here are not perverted in anyway." I shrugged, then Ana came into the room wearing pink scrubs. "Amu?" She asked in surprise, I was surprised myself.
"What a coincidence!" She said with a smile, Masami smiled and said, "I'll take it you're okay with this change?" I nodded my head and Masami left the room. I asked Ana not to look while I got undressed and got under the sheet, she was okay with it. Then she finally started massaging me.
" How many jobs do you have? And how are you able to get this jod?" I asked
"Just these two, my mom is Masami. I like my job at the salon better though,"
"Wow, you must work pretty- Oooh my god…"
Ana giggled, "I take it that feels good?"
"Oooohh yes… by the way… where's Hana?"
"She saw your charas and joined them on the merry go round,"
"Oohh…Ahhh…" I closed my eyes and accidentally fell asleep.
I woke up when I heard someone go, "Amu, AMU!" My eyes snapped open and I was face to face with Midori, "You fell asleep!" She said, "Hurry up and change before your sister gets really impatient!" I sat up and wiped drool off the side of my mouth, "Wow…" I said quietly. "Your clothes are over here," Said Ana as she gestured to my neatly folded clothes. I got dressed in no time.
"I feel amazing!" I told Ana as I walked out of the room, she smiled and said, "I'm glad to hear that, well, I guess I'll see you around?" I nodded my head and left the mall with Midori, Ami, and Tsumugu. When we arrived back at the house, Midori started making dinner, and Tsumugu turned on the TV and watched it with Ami and my charas. Amu's phone started vibrating in my pocket, I looked at the caller I.D and it said, Ikuto.
I quickly went up to my room and shut the door, I flipped the phone open and said in a flirtatious tone, "Yes my love?" There was a pause, then Amu said in a flat tone, "Don't ever do that with my voice again," I sighed and said, "You're no fun. Oh, I have some pretty intense news to tell you… I don't know how you're going to take this-"
"I have some pretty intense news too."
"Really?"
"Yup, you go first."
"No, I bet my news is more intense I'll say it last."
"Whatever. Anyways, I met this girl named Chasidy and her brother Hunter today."
I raised an eyebrow and sat on the bed, "Who?"
"Chasidy and Hunter,"
"I don't know them." I said flatly.
I heard Amu sigh, "You met them in Ireland."
'Oh wait… I remember now!'
"I remember now, what did they look like? Does Hunter still hate me?"
"Chasidy is very pretty, Hunter is cute, they both have charas, and yes, Hunter still hates you. May I ask why he hates you?"
"They have charas?" I said, avoiding the subject on Hunter.
"Yes-" In the background, I heard Yoru go, "Ikuto-nya! Is that Amu you talking too? Is Miki there? IKUTO!"
I guess they were fighting for the phone, out of annoyance, I hung up. The doorbell rang, someone answered the door, then Midori called, "AMU! IT'S RIMA!" Rima was Amu's best friend, so I had to put on a big grin and run down the stairs to greet her, right? I'll just do that.
Ninjakat: Done! Holy crap, I'm so sorry for the long wait. You can all slap me if you want.
Everyone: *Slaps Ninjakat*
Ninjakat: Alright, now that you are all satisfied- OW! *Touches face* That hurt!
Everyone: You told us to slap you.
Ninjakat: *Sigh* Next I'm going to be working on the next chapter of There's Always Hope. By the way, I got myself a Fictionpress account, so after I finish writing There's Always Hope, I will start putting a story up there on the website. I'd put a summary of that story here, but I haven't thought of it yet.
Anyways, I know this is a bit late but I hope everyone had an amazing Halloween. I was the grudge and it kicked ass!
R&R if you care!
