Hey guys, this is Katsura here :D I'd like to say thnx for the 4-5 reviews on the story. I will definatly continue. This chapter is unbelievably long, I think I got too carried away. Well i'm off to make some cheese on toast because I am STARVING! Please Enjoy -runs off-
''K-kiss you?'' I stutter, gaping at Tsukiyomi, still hovering my trophy over his head.
''Yes, it's sometime people do with their lips, it's li-'' Tsukiyomi says,
''I KNOW WHAT IT IS! But why do I need to kiss, you! Of all people!'' I scream, cutting him off.
''You wan't this back don't you? Now hurry up, my lips are chapping, let's get smacking.'' He replies in his 'matter-of-factly voice.
I gulp, it wont be too bad will it? I mean, i've never been kissed before, or even kissed someone myself, but if it's only on the cheek, it wont be so bad..
''Fine, hold still..'' I mumble, placing my hands on his broad shoulders and stepping upwards.
As I go to kiss his cheek, he spins his head back into place, and I end up kissing him on the lips.
I realise what happened, and cover my mouth with my hands.
~~~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~~~
Hehe, I knew that would work. Watching Hannah Montana with Utau was worth it.
But now I have to deal with the concequences. Amu removes her hands from her face and glares at me with the rage of 1000 tigers.
''Crap..'' I mutter, running down the path and through the forest like a mad man, taking the trophy with me.
''TSUKIYOMI YOU ARE SO DEAD!!'' I hear behind me, from an enraged Amu.
~~~~~~~~~~Nagihiko's POV~~~~~~~~~
''I'll be leaving first then guys, bye!'' I say to the guardians, reaching for the shiny handle of the guardians door.
''TSUKIYOMI YOU ARE SO DEAD!!'' I hear from outside.
I swing the door open to find Amu glaring at the trees, fist balled up.
''You ok, Amu-chan? You seem pretty fired up..I thought you left already? What happened, did Tsukiyomi Ikuto do something to you?'' I shot questions at her left right and centre.
She turns round and her face changes back to it's normal state.
''Oh Nagihiko, i'm ok, and no Tsukiyomi didn't do, anything..'' She twitches.
''Mhh, ok then, well i'm going to a dance festival in an hour, wanna come? They'll have toffee apples..'' I tease, I know how much she adores toffee apples.
Her face brightens up, and to my suprise, flowers, sparkles and the odd heart dance around her head.
''Can I? Seriously? Ok then lets go!'' She yells, grabbing my sleeve and pulling me off school grounds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got home, I flopped down onto my bed and put my violist case next to me. I put both hands behind my head gained sudden interest in the ceiling.
''I'm definatly going to get my ass kicked in by Amu tomorrow, but who cares, that was fun.'' I laugh.
She's differant, any other girl would have fainted right then and there. But not her, she was, angry, no doubt about that.
Riiing.....riiiing.....
I sigh and reach into my pocket for my mobile.
On the screen reads: ''Saaya''. I flick open the mobile awnser the call.
''What is it Saaya?'' I call boredly down the line.
''Yaaa Ikuto-sama, your so coold! I just wanted to ask if your busy tomorow!'' She coo's.
Dam this girl, dam her to heck. Why do I have fangirls phoning me every second!
''Saaya, who gave you my mobile number?'' I reply.
''Well that would be your sis, Utau, but back to the question, are yo-'' She says
I hang up. I really can't be asked to talk to fangirls right now.
I return my gaze to the ceiling.
''For christs sake, I only play the violion, it's not like i'm Super Juniors new member.'' I sigh.
Guess I should seriously give Amu her trophy already. But where in sam heck does she live?
I take my mobile back out my pocket and look through my long list of contacts and click 'dial'.
''Mushi Mushi?'' He says from the other end of the line.
''Hey Yoru, whats up dude?'' I reply.
''Oh Ikuto, ah not much man, girls, cars, tuna..'' He lists.
''Tuna..? Well nevermind that, you know that Cool n Spicy goddess of Seiyo high? I need to know where she lives.'' I reply again, in a bored tone, still laying on my bed with one arm behind my head.
''Hinamori Amu? Why do you need to know? Mmh, I know, trying to get inside her pants right? You frisky cat!'' Yoru teases from the other end.
''Ba-ka, I just need to return something, but i'll keep that in mind. Now gimmi the damn address furball.'' I retort.
''Furball?! Pft fine whatever, well she lives'''
~~~~~~~~~~~Amu's POV'~~~~~~~~~~~
''That festival was AWESOME!! The music was ok, but the food was amazing!'' I exclaim.
''Glad you enjoyed it Amu-chan, ja ne'' Nagihiko smiles while standing at my gate.
''Ja ne!'' I reply, waving. I turn around and put my key in the door and grasping my toffee apple in my mouth.
When I get inside, Mama and Papa are watching TV and discussing Ami's next recital.
''Back'' I call, while walking upstairs, in my Cool n Spicy tone.
''Oh Amu, welcome back, dinners in the microwave.'' Mama calls from downstairs.
I wander up the stairs and nibble at the apple.
When I get into my room I sit on the chair by my desk and open my laptop, and turn it on.
When everything uploads, I visit the school homepage, and click on ''recent news''
The page reads:
This years Artist of the year was decided, and Hinamori Amu stood proud at the stage. We have posted her portrait in the link below, for those of you who wish to look at it.
Hinamori-san was awarded a trophy and recieved praise and appluades from the crowd.
''Yeah, a trophy that Tsukiyomi held for ransom, then didn't give back! Stupid cat!'' I mutter, still eating my apple.
''Amu-chan, you have a guest!'' Mama calls from downstairs.
Guest? I'm not expecting anyone..
I hop downstairs to find Papa shaking on the floor, Mama looking like she just won Mum of the year, and Ami tugging on something.
That something happened to be Tsukiyomi Ikuto, the trophy theif!
''Amu, this boy says he's here to see you. Shall I leave you to talk in your room?'' Mama gleems.
''N-no! She's far too young Honey! Besides, I don't approve of him!'' Papa cries, his heart breaking.
''Onee-san has a boifriendo!'' Ami exclaims, still tugging on Tsukiyomis uniform.
Mama drags Papa off, who is still ranting about my age. And then she scoots me and Tsukiyomi up into my room.
''But Mama!'' I cry as she sits us down on the bed.
She shuts the door, and footsteps are heard walking downstairs.
''Your family is bonkers..'' Says a voice beside me.
''Tell me about it..'' I reply, still not realising the situation.
ECK! Just my luck, Mama shuts us in here, where no one can hear my terrified screams for help! And HE'S in here!
I jump off the bed and sit on the floor opposite Tsukiyomi, but at a safe distance.
''What do you want? Suddenly coming to my house unexpected?'' I ask him, putting my cool n spicy act on.
He grins.
''To return this.'' He says as he pulls my trophy out from behind him.
He extends his arms out, and I snatch it from him.
''What, not going to say thanks?'' He smirks, still sitting on my bed.
''Ofcourse, not. Why should I? First you kiss me, then you run off with my trophy!'' I retort, sticking my tongue out.
''Hmph, no big deal right? Not as if that was your first kiss.'' Ouch, he hit the nail right on the head.
''H-hehe, course not, I've had tons of!'' I laugh nervously.
''You..'ve never been kissed before?'' He stares at me.
Theres a defening silence bouncing off the four walls.
I hang my head in shame.
''No, but it's only because I was waiting for my prince charming! But YOU ruined that dream! You cold hearted killer of romance!'' I screech, pointing my finger at him.
He lifts his hands in the air in defence.
''By prince charming, you mean Tadase, am I right?'' He grins.
''W-what, no I don't, what gave you that idea? Haha..'' I reply, hiding my blush with my bangs.
''Don't play innocent Amu, I've seen you gawk at him with hearts in your eyes.'' He replies defiantly.
''Who said you could call me by my first name?'' I glare at him.
''Why not, Amu, I feel pretty close to you right now. I mean, i'm already on your bed..'' He teases, leaning in.
I scoot backwards and blush.
''That's only because my Mum put us here! Like you said, shes bonkers!'' I yell in desperation.
''Anyway, you've returned my trophy, now can you please leave Tsukiyomi?'' I say as I regain my posture, standing up and putting my gold shiny trophy on a shelf, next to tons of others.
''You can call me Ikuto. And how many trophies have you got? Talk about unhuman.'' He gapes.
''Oh and as if you don't have twice as much!'' I retort, with my hands on my hips.
''True, well i'll be off then, Amu'' Ikuto calls, from the balcony, balancing on the railings.
''What the hell are you doing Ikuto, get your ass down from the balcony!'' I scream.
He jumps down and lands gracefully on his feet with the skill of an olympic athlete.
I look down over the railings and see him walking off and into the darkness of the gloomy streets.
''He's so weird, but interesting..'' I mumble, still looking to where he was.
~~~~~~~~~~Tadase's POV~~~~~~~~~
I was sitting with the other guardians in the Cafeteria, chatting and eating lunch at a table.
''Ah, Amu's here!'' Yaya calls, beckoning and making hand gestures.
Amu runs over to the table and sits beside Yaya, opposite me.
''Hey guys'' She says, getting a black sketch book out of her bag and flipping a few pages, and landing on a fresh one, and getting out a newly sharpened Derwent Pencil.
I gazed intently at Amu, concentrating on her paper. She was...very attractive right now.
Get ahold of youself Tadase! I screamed as I mentally slapped myself.
I've liked Hinamori for a while now, but it seems as if she isn't interested. That book of hers keeps her occupied too much..
Maybe if I got rid of the thing, she might pay more attention to me instead.
Two arms slither their way around Hinamori's neck, and a chin is placed on top of her head.
''Ikuto!'' She gasps, switching her attention to the thing clinging onto her.
''The one and only. Wanna come to the music room, listen to me play for a bit?'' He asks her.
''Sure..if you say so.'' She says as she stuff her book into her bag, slinging it over her back.
''Seeya guys'' She waves, walking off with Tsukiyomi Ikuto.
I really, hate him. Why is he getting close to myAmu?
~~~~~~~~~~~Amu's POV~~~~~~~~~~
When we reached Music room 1, we walked inside, it was empty, just full of instriments being watched by security cameras.
''You go sit over there, let me get my violin out.'' He tells me.
I nods and makes my way to a desk in front.
He lift my violin to my chin and glides the bow across the strings.
When he starts playing, a beautiful melody arises from the instriment, it's heavenly, pure and flawless.
His eyes are closed, and he stands tall like he is the king of 100 countries.
I shut my eyes and take in the sound of the violin.
After what feels like a long time, the sound stops.
My eyes flutter open.
''That was...I don't know, awesome, cool, beautiful..'' I blush.
''It's no suprise that you win so many awards and are adored by lots of people.'' I smile.
''Your not falling for me, are you Amu?'' He coo's, placing his violin in the case, zipping it up and hanging it over his shoulder, walking towards me.
''N-no way hosay!'' I choke.
''Who's this Hosay person?'' He jokes.
We both laugh. He reaches his hand out for me.
''Come on, lunch ends in 3 minutes, and you've got Art next'' He says as I grab his hand, and he pulls me up.
''Oh yeah, wait, how do you know I have Art next? AAH STALKER!'' I scream, assuming the fatal position.
''I'm not a stalker, I just happen to know a thing or two'' He replies cooly.
''That's a thing too much!'' I pout at him.
''Your so cute when you pout like that..'' He stares at me.
My eyes widen, did he just call me, cute? I swear if he says that again, i'll turn into a puddle.
''Amu..your going white, are you ill?'' He says. I snap back to reality.
Ikuto has a worried look on his face.
''No, i'm fine, never better, oh look at the time, gotta go, ja neee!!'' I shout down the hall.
~~~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~~~
She's so cute when she's embarrassed.
I only knew she had Art because she had her school planner on the cafeteria table.
Well lucky me has PE, but I'm awesome at that too, no one beats me in basketball.
As I walk out of the music room with my violin still with me, I catch a glimpse of blonde, but it soon fades.
''Random..'' I mumble, shugging, and heading towards the changing rooms.
As I pass the girls changing rooms, I feel the urge to take a quick look inside, but for some reason, the urge isn't as...urgent?
I walk straight passed it, which isnt like me.
~~~~~~~~~~Tadase's POV~~~~~~~~
When I finally got to art, late, I sat in my usual place beside Hinamori.
''Hi Tadase-kun'' She says, then resumes listening to what the teacher is saying.
This is the perfect chance to win Hinamori and make sure that thieving cat never lays a hand on her again..
I slide her bag under my chair using my feet, and open the latch. There shining is the binder of the sketchbook.
I pull it slightly out, then all the way. I then stuff it into my bag.
I close the bag and push it back to Hinamori's feet.
When the lessons over, everyone but Hinamori leaves.
''Sensei, i've done some new sketches, would you look at them and give me some feedback?'' She says, holding her bag to her chest.
The teacher nods. Amu opens her bag and looks through the books, she knows it's not in there.
''One sec'' She says to the teacher, while tipping her bag upside down and shaking the contents out.
She sives everything out franticly.
''It's not here..my books not here!'' She cries, staring blankly at the empty bag.
This is my time to shine.
''Uhm..Hinamori, I could of sworn I saw Tsukiyomi with a black book, alot like yours, coming out of music room 1, but h-'' I fake my princely voice, twiddling my fingers like an idiot.
''Tsukiyomi did?! Oh that cat is roadkill!!'' She yells, putting everything in her bag, grabbing it and running out.
~~~~~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~~~~
Aah, that was good, a nice shower after basketball.
Walking passed the girls changing room to go home, I didn't at all feel the need to look in...weird.
When I get out of school grounds and into the park.
I'm about to get my violin out, and I hear Amu shouting random stuff and getting closer.
She appears from the trees, and looks like she's been to hell and back.
''TSUKIYOMI!'' She yells, standing at the bottom of the concrete stairs.
''I thought I told you to call me Ikuto, and calm down, i'll walk home with you tomorrow'' I smirk.
''Don't play dumb Tsukiyomi, we both know what you did! Hand it over!'' She screams, running up the stairs and sticking her hand out.
I look at it, as if processing what to do with it.
''No i'm serious, I DON'T know what I did.'' I reply calmy.
Tons of veins I never knew existed, appeared on amu's forehead.
''You must seriously hate me if you went so low as to take my sketchbook when I wasn't looking! Just when I thought we were getting along!'' She growls.
''Look, I never took your sketchbook! Why would I want it?! It's not just your family that are bonkers, but you included!'' I retort.
We stand there with sparks shooting between us.
''Hmph, I know Tadase-kun wouldn't lie about you having my sketchbook. I'll be back Tsukiyomi, and you will give me my sketchbook tomorrow!'' She calls, jumping down the steps three at a time, slinging her bag over her shoulder.
When she is out of sight, I sit down on the step and sigh.
''She's lost it if she thinks I took that thing. Wait.'' I mumble
''I know Tadase-kun wouldn't lie about you having my sketchbook'' Goes over and over in my mind.
''Tadase caused all this? Brat..'' I mutter.
~~~~~~~~~~~ Amu's POV~~~~~~~~~~
I sit on my bed with my knees up to my chest. I bury my head and grumble.
''Why would he want my book for. I thought we were on first name basis now.'' I mumble.
''Amu-chan, you have a guest!'' Mama shouts up the stairs.
Oh great, Tsukiyomi's here again.
''Tell him I'm busy!'' I yell back.
''I'm sorry Hotori-kun, she's busy ri-''
''COMING!'' I yell, running downstairs.
Tadase stand there, with the same situation going on around him. Papa crying, heartbroken, and Mama looking proud, and Ami..well..tugging on his uniform.
''Tadase-kun, what are you doing here? Not that i'm not glad..'' I ask him.
''I was going to ask if we could talk, somewhere?'' He blushes.
Before I could reply, we were scooped up into my room and in the same situation as last time when Tsukiyomi was here.
''Hmh..what did you want to talk about Tadase-kun?'' I ask him, sitting on the bed beside him.
''Well, for a long time now, i've..liked you..so if you would please accept my request..would you go on a date with me next tomorrow?'' He blushes, staring me right in the eyes.
''Uhm I-i guess so, I mean, i'd love to, actually.'' I stutter, looking down at my feet.
''Great so i'll tell you the details another time? Okay?'' He smiles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV, Next day~~~~~~~~~~~
I gotta proove that i'm innocent, cuz, well, I am! I never took the dam book!
Grr, this is so frustrating. She wont look at me at all. She ignores me whenever she see's me, and she gained alot more interest in princey-boy.
When lunch arrives, I think up of a plan.
She says Tadase told her right? Well that must mean he took it. He never really liked me.
''Yoru, I gotta get something, I want you to distract that table over there, where Tadase sits.'' I say to Yoru while sitting on a table on the other side of the Cafeteria.
''Ok, I don't know why your so interested in Hinamori Amu, but i'll do it.'' He replies, getting up and walking over to the table where Amu, Tadase and the guardians are sitting.
''Hey Tadase, I heard someone trashed the Royal Garden just now, better go check it out.'' Yoru fakes a worried voice.
''Oh no, really? Come on guys follow me!'' Tadase says, jumping up and running out the door with everyone following behind him.
''What a dumbass, Tadase left his bag. But that was what I was hoping for so i'm gonna stop complaining now and look inside.'' I ranted on.
I took the bag from out under the table and opened the latch and put my hand on the sketch pad.
''Wait a second guys I forgot my bag'' I heard Amu call, coming into the Cafeteria.
She catches a glimpse of me with Tadase's bag and stomps her way to my table.
''What do you think your doing with Tadase-kuns bag!'' She yells. ''Your so..wait, what's that in his bag..?'' She mumbles, putting her finger on the binder.
I pull it out, to reveal the black sketchpad that she had accused me of stealing.
She gasps and her she starts to look guilty.
''Ikuto..were you, getting that back for me? Did Tadase take it in the first place?'' She gasps.
I nod and hand her the book.
She smiles and looks at me.
''Thanks. I'm sorry for shouting at you, and accusing you, when you really had nothing to do with it.''
She put the book in her bag where it clearly belongs.
''Wanna be friends again?'' She says, blushing slightly.
''We can be more then that if you want Amu...'' I smirk, whispering into her ear.
She blushes like a tomato and slaps me on the arm.
''P-Pervert!'' She screams.
''Come here..'' I smile, pulling her in for a hug.
''Ikuto..'' She whispers.
Everyone in the Cafe claps and cheers, and a few whistles are heard.
Amu pulls out of the hug and blushes like a cherry.
''Ikuto can you come with me to the Royal Garden to clean up the mess?'' She asks, standing up
''Amu, there was no mess, I told Yoru to say that so I could get the book back'' I laughs.
''Fair enough. Want some pocky?'' She asks, pulling out a box of Strawberry Pocky.
''That is so random, but ok'' I reply, taking out 2 sticks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Amu's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''Seems the tables have turned..guess it wasn't Ikuto who took it. But I don't understand why Tadase-kun would take it. He knows how important it is to me'' I sigh, looking through the pages, finding a new one and taking my pencil out.
After 20 minutes of sketching, I hear a knock on my balcony window.
I set the book down on the bedside table and turn my attention to the glass doors.
There in the rain stands a drenched kitty, otherwise known as Ikuto.
I run to the door, slide it open and pull him in.
''Why the hell are you on my balcony, wet?'' I ask him, grabbing towels from my bathroom.
''Because I wanted to see you, and because it's raining.'' He smirks.
''Very funny smart ass. Heres some of my Papa's close and a towel, go change in my bathroom'' I reply, shooing him into the bathroom.
''I don't think I can, i've suddenly lost all feeling in my arms. Help me?'' He grins.
''BAKA NEKO!'' I scream, slamming the door in his face.
''Your so cold Amu..'' He calls from the other side.
After a while he opens the door and comes out wearing a almost sea through flanel shirt, some ripped jeans, and a towel round his neck.
I think my mouth is open..
''Amu, close your mouth, spare the flies'' He grins.
I slam my mouth shut and sit on bed with my laptop.
I turn on some music, and put my headphones in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is she humming? What is she listening to..
I look at the screen from over her shoulder. BoA Amazing kiss.
I sit on the bed, behind her. And look through her sketchbook.
''Amazing kiss~'' She sings quietly.
I flip a few pages and find one of me, a recent one.
''Precious in my love, dudududu yeah'' She sings again.
She continues singing phrases, still oblivious that i'm looking in her book.
The picture she drew of me is alot better then the first one, more detail, more shading. But i'm smiling again. God sake..
''Hey Amu, i'm smiling again, I told you no- Amu?'' I tap her shoulder.
I turn her around and she is in utter shock, eyes wide and mouth open.
''Earth to Amu, what's wrong?'' I call, waving a hand infront of her face.
''Tadases coming to take me on a date any minute now! What do I do?!'' She screams, jumping off the bed and leaving her laptop on the bed.
''Tadase asked you on a date?'' I reply.
''Amu-chan, you have a guest.'' Mama says while shutting the door downstairs.
''This is De Ja Vu all over again..'' Amu moans
I hear footsteps, and I look at Ikuto.
He gets up and stands next to me.
''Follow my lead Amu, trust me, this is for the best.'' He whispers.
What is he on about?
''Oh Amu, your so sexy.'' Ikuto shouts loud enough so that Tadase could hear him.
I look at Ikuto. ''What the heck do you think your doing?!'' I whisper.
''Giving him what he deserves'' He replies.
''Your so wet Amu.'' He shouts again.
Here goes nothing.
''Aah Ikuto, no don't touch there!'' I scream.
The door flings open to reveal a shocked Tadase, holding two umbrellas.
''Tadase, were you listening this whooole time? I'm ashamed of you!'' I pout, putting my hands on my hips.
''Yeah Tadase, what were you thinking, easedropping on us?'' Ikuto says in the same tone as me.
Before Tadase could reply, we shooed him out the door.
We both laughed and hi-5ed.
''We should do that sometime Amu'' Ikuto grins.
''That?..Eww, no chance in hell you drowned cat!'' I yell, lobbing a pillow at him.
''Well i'm off, see you tomorrow at school then. Nice picture you drew of me by the way,'' He says, opening the balcony, jumping off and disapearing.
''He saw my picture?'' I turn around and notice the book is open. ''Talk about rude.'' I mutter.
I lay on my bed and roll over onto my side.
''Come to think of it..I havn't seen Saaya for a while..she'll be pissed when she finds out that her chosen one is hanging out me'' I mumble.
Hope you enjoyed.
