Katsura: Cranberry cookies and bran muffins!!!
Amu: It's Katsura on sugar, woohoo!
Ikuto: Why is chapter 6 here already?! You just did 5 yesterday!.
Katsura: Yeah I know, weird right? I'm in an uploading mood :)
Yoru: Why did you change your pen name Katsura nya?
Katsura: Oh because I thought AmutoxXx was too plain, no offence Beth. And StrawberryChocolatexXx sounds awesome. And you know why people ;)
Ikuto/Amu: o.0..
Katsura: Miki do the disclaimer!
Miki: Katsura does not own Shugo chara, or cranberry cookies, or bran muffins. Who likes bran muffins anyways? ¬¬
''Still asleep huh..'' He mumbles, putting the book down and facing me.
''She looks like sleeping beauty when she's like this. One little..kiss can't hurt?'' He murmurs, closing the space between us and kissing me softly on the lips.
I can feel my cheeks burning up, I squeeze my eyes shut and try my best not to move.
He quickly moves back, and I feel the weight leave the matress.
''What am I doing? Stupid Ikuto!'' I hear him mumble, and smacking himself.
''What if..I am in love with..Hinamori Amu..?'' I hear him say in a whisper, barely audable.
My mind is going crazy!! He couldn't of said that, could he?!
He opens the bedroom door and goes downstairs.
I sit up furiously, and pant madly.
''Holy potatoes! Did Ikuto just kiss me and say he loves me?'' I whisper/scream, putting my hands on my cheeks.
I swing my legs over the side and run down the stairs.
Ikuto is at the freezer, getting a pack of ice. He spots me standing at the bottom of the stairs.
''Oh, A-Amu.. when did you get u-up?'' He stutters.
Ehehe, so he DOES stutter around me!
''Just now actually, you wern't there.'' I assure him, trying not to tell him that I was actually awake.
''Oh'' Is his only reply. But he does look relieved.
''Oh Hinamori-san, Ikuto didn't do anything too rash to you, did he?'' A woman with long blonde hair asks me, a slight smirk on her features.
Must be his mum. She's so pretty, woow! She looks just like Utau!
I blush.
''No, not at all.'' I smile, scratching my head.
Trying to forget it myself actually..
''Hinamori-san, it's getting late, would you like Ikuto to walk you home?'' She asks.
''Hm? Oh..no that's ok.'' I smile weakly.
I'm about to open the front door and leave, but then Ikuto grabs my hand and walks out with me.
He drags me along the footpath and around the corner towards my house.
''U-uhm, Ikuto...I said you didn't have to.'' I tell him.
''I know. But who knows what could happen if I let you.'' He replies, still looking forward and pulling me ahead.
I think i'm blushing. Ikuto's still holding my hand!
''Ne..Ikuto, do you have someone you like?'' I ask him, looking down at my feet, still walking.
It catches him off guard, and he stops to face me.
I look up at him innocently.
''Well, uhm, I don't know, I think I do..'' He mumbles, looking off in the distance.
''Tell me about her'' I ask, smiling at him.
~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~
How can she be so dense not to know that it's her??
''Well, she's smart, she's really pretty, she's got lots of talent and always cheers me up'' I smirk, trying to give her hints.
''Oh..what's her name?'' She asks me.
She really doesen't get it does she?
''Her names A-''
''Amu, good your back, can you help me clean please?'' Says her mother from the house door.
When did we arrive here? I didn't even notice us stop here.
''Right, cleaning, ok. Bye Ikuto, see you at school tomorrow.'' Amu calls, looking slightly disapointed.
I wave, close the gate and shove my hands in my pockets. Time to go home then.
~~~~~~~Saaya's POV~~~~~~~
I'm so furious! Not only was Hinamori at Ikuto's house, but they held hands on the way home!
I start kicking cans around the floor and cursing her name.
I can see now that they are both falling for eachother, and that is bad, I can't have that now can I? Seems my plan will have to go into action tomorrow.
I step inside my limo that was waiting behind some tree's while I was stalking Ikuto and Hinamori.
''Step on it Hayate'' I call to the chauffeur behind the black screen.
''Yes ojou-sama.'' He replies, starting the car and speeding off towards my mansion.
~~~~~~~Amu's POV Next morning~~~~~~~
I awake to the sound of horrendous singing, excited screaming and giggling.
Must be Ami singing, and Mama and Papa squeeling like always.
I slip out of bed and unhook my uniform hanging on my wall.
I think I'll mix it up a bit today.
I replace my usual belt with a black pac man belt that has lots of yellow pac mans trying to glomp those little things, and stick a cross like Ikuto's on my shirt collar.
After putting it on, I look myself in the mirror.
''Perfect, leave it to Pac man to spice it up a bit.'' I smile, ajusting the belt and brushing my candy pink locks.
I put my hair into two pigtails that reach down to my shoulders with two yellow X clips, but leave some hair to fall down beside my face, and for my bangs to stay in place.
I feel pretty cool wearing this, hopefully I look the part too.
I bound downstairs and grab some toast from a plate on the side.
''Bye mama, papa, Ami!'' I yell, shutting the door with my school bag in my other hand.
I turn the corner and see Ikuto leaning against my fence with his Ipod in his ears.
I tap him on the shoulder and he opens his eyes, takes his headphones out and looks me up and down.
''Pacman theme today? Nice, I like it. And what's this? One of my crosses on your collar?'' He smirks.
''Thanks, and yeah, you left one at my house a few days ago, so I thought I'd use it. Is that ok with you?'' I ask
''Yeh it's ok, you can keep it, I have a ton more.'' He smiles, as he starts walking ahead.
I smirk and catch up with him.
He hands me one of his headphones and I slip it in.
The first song that comes on is Pokerface by Lady Gaga (Do not own)
I start humming the first bit.
I look at Ikuto, and we grin.
We instantly start singing.
I wanna hold em' like they do in texas, please
Fold em' let em' hit me, raise it baby, stay with me
Luck and intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked i'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what i've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what i've got
As we turn the corner and start walking up the hill to Seiyo High school, the chorus comes on.
We sing really loudly, attracting lots of attention, some people even join in.
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she`s got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she`s got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
We're interupted by someone yanking the headphones out of the ipod.
We turn around to see Saaya swinging it around proudly.
''What the hell Saaya, give it back!'' I yell at her, trying to swipe it from her.
''Uh uh uh'' She coo's ''No ipods in school.''
I stare at her blankly.
''Saaya..'' I say boredly.
''Yes?'' She replies, putting her nose in the air.
''That's not mine. It's Ikuto's.'' I grin.
She looks down at the headphones and turns red.
''Oh i'm sorry, here you go Ikuto-kun, ja ne!'' She squeeks, placing the headphones in Ikuto's hand.
''So she would confiscate yours but not mine, huh?'' Ikuto grins.
I pout and slap him.
''That's only because your Saaya's toyboy!''
He grins and grabs my hand and pulls me through the gates and under some Sakura trees.
''Carry on with the song?'' He smirks, handing me a headphone.
I return his smirk and put it in my ear.
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love, if its not rough it isn't fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what i've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what i've got
I tap my fingers to the beat on the grass, and Ikuto bobs his head with his eyes closed.
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she`s got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she`s got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
As lots of kids walk by, I hear them say stuff like 'are they going out' or 'is that poker face?' and sometimes 'I like her belt'.
Hehe, I knew they would.
''Here comes my favourite part'' Ikuto says, smirking.
I won't tell you that i love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause i'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying
I'm just stunnin'
With my love-glue-gunning
No wonder it's his favourite part, it mentions ''muffin''. Pervert..
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand 'cause i'm marvelous
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she`s got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she`s got to love nobody
x3
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
x3
When it ends, the bell rings a while after, and I hand Ikuto his ipod and we make our way to first lesson, english, uuuuhhh!!
When we get into class, lots of people stare at us and have hearts in their eyes.
''The two most popular people in school in one class, so cool!'' Someone calls out.
I rolll my eyes and take my seat by the window at the back, and Ikuto sits next to me.
Through the lesson we notice that Tadase and Saaya have been passing notes for quite some time.
''Hey, do you think their dating?'' Ikuto asks me, nudging me to get my attention.
''What? No way, she likes you remember? Besides I think Tadase likes that girl in third row with the brown hair.'' I reply, pointing to the girl called Hitomi.
He just nods and keeps drawing crosses on the desk.
I draw hearts spades and clovers on mine, and add a few diamonds.
''Still thinking of poker are we?'' He grins, tracing over the spades.
''The songs stuck in my head. And for some reason, I really like diamonds now..'' I whisper back, tapping my pencil and reading other bits of graffiti left by other bored students.
'Bored to death. Add name to list if you agree.'
I etch my name into the circle surrounding the sentance.
As if on cue, Ikuto writes his down beside mine.
~~~~~~~Tadase's POV~~~~~~~
''Are you sure you got the plan?'' Saaya asks me, twitching in excitment.
''Yes, for the 8th time, i've got the tape recorder and the guardian meeting is next.'' I reply, sighing.
We are at the back off the school where no one can hear us or see us.
''Right. Now go to the guardian meeting and get. those. samples!'' She yells, shooing me off.
''Fine fine. Sheesh.'' I murmur, shoving the tape recorder in my pocket and walking off to the royal garden.
I get in before everyone else, and that gives me more time to set myself up.
All I have to do is get samples of Hinamori-san talking, so i'll record everything she says in the meeting. And i'll keep talking to her to get more out of her.
''Tadase-kun!'' Yaya calls, running up the steps and sitting in the Ace chair.
''Afternoon, King'' Nagihiko smiles, sitting in his place.
Rima and Amu come in a bit later and take their seats.
''Well, let's start the meeting. Hinamori-san, anything you want to bring up?'' I smile, pressing the tape recorders button in my pocket.
''Uhm, well, the flowers are looking..fine, a bit parched though? And uh, well the lower year swimming competition is in a week so..'' She says, not knowing what else to say.
''Hm, shall we arrange transportation for the lower years to get to the swimming pool 10 minutes away?'' I reply innocently.
''Yeah ok, well, I think coaches would be best, their parents might not want to take them. And we can water the flowers in a minute?'' She says, smiling.
I think i've got enough samples with just two sentances.
I turn off the recorder and stand up.
''Ok then, lets grab a watering can each and get watering!'' I cheer.
We all fill the watering cans up and drench the flowers in the hot sun.
After we are done, I grab my stuff and make my way to music room 3, if i'm late Saaya will kick my ass into the next century.
~~~~~~~Saaya's POV~~~~~~~
I dismissed my club ages ago, where is Tadagay?
He comes bursting through the double doors, panting, and he hands me the tape.
''Good good, now, lets get to work.'' I grin, plugging the tape into a computer and clicking around a bit.
''Why did you want me to get samples of Hinamori's voice anyway?'' Tadase asks, looking over my shoulder.
''Because, then I can use her voice and make it sound like she's saying something completely differant!'' I gleem, mixing up words and sounds.
''Why would you want to do that for?'' He replies. Jeez he's so dense!
''Theres a senior competition coming up soon right? And I know that Ikuto's going to be in it, and win. So all I have to do is make sure Ikuto hears this conversation between Amu and you. Fake conversation though.'' I smirk deviously.
''But what conversation?'' He asks dumbly.
I play him the first sentance.
''I don't know why Ikuto won, must be rigged'' Computerized Amu says.
Tadase gasps.
''Wow, it really sounds like that was her saying it! Could you make her say she loves me?'' He squeels.
I mix things around and click play.
''I love you, Hotori Tadase'' Computerized Amu says again.
Tadase faints.
''Dork..'' I sigh, kicking him in the ankles and poking him.
~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV 3 days later~~~~~~~
I am so pumped! Senior competition for intrument players is in 10 minutes, and i'm sure i'm going to win!
Not to sound to confidant or anything.
I feel sorry for the losers.
I stand behind the stage curtain while the crowd gathers in.
''Ikuto!'' A voice calls.
I turn around to see Amu running towards me with her arms out.
I open my arms out, and she tackle glomps me.
''Hello to you too..'' I smirk, returning the hug.
''Your going to win right? Riight'' She smiles, jumping around. ''What song you going to play?''.
''Tsukiyo no violinst.'' I reply, taking my violin out of the white leather case and checking if everythings in order.
''Oh..'' She mumbles, looking disapointed.
''What were you expecting?'' I ask her curiously.
''Nothing, nothing, good luck out there.'' She smiles, giving me thumbs up and a quick hug.
I think I can feel her breasts on my arm...So big!
I mentally slap myself for my perverted thoughts.
''We will now start the Senior Musical Competition. There will be 25 competitors, but one winner. Let's get started with Tsuruga Meiko's flute!'' The announcer calls over the microphone.
A loud applause is heard, and a girl with black shoulder length hair and brown eyes runs onto stage with a flute.
After 24 competitors have done their piece, it's my time to shine.
Always save the best til last right?
''Last but not least, Tsukiyomi Ikuto with his Violin!'' The man cheers over the mic.
I make my way onto stage with my violin, and set it up on my shoulder.
''U-uhm, don't you need a music sheet, Tsukiyomi-san?'' The man says.
I shake my head.
''I've got it all up here.'' I grin.
Lots of girls in the crowd scream with delight, reaching their hands out. But only one girl catches my full attention.
A girl with pink hair and golden orbs. Otherwise known as my little ichigo Amu.
She cheers and waves to me, bouncing up and down in 1st row.
I wink at her, leaving the surrounding girls to send glares at her. Hehe.
I glide the bow across the strings, and the melody fills the hall.
Everyone goes silent, listening inticingly to the music.
I look around the room to see people whispering to their friends, teachers to their colleagues and Amu to herself.
I smirk, and play for a bit more, enjoying the music without any screaming or cheering.
It's a sad and depressing song.
My life story turned into a song.
Short, strained and sad.
Nobody knows that though, and they never will. Not even Amu.
Amu is gaping at me, I wonder why she was disapointed when I said I was playing this song.
I get to a sad part in the song, the ending, and lots of people start to look amazed, but at the same time confused as to why it's so painful.
I streach the last note out for dramatic effect, and to signal the end.
No, not the end of the world.
Everyone snaps out of their trances, and clap madly.
''A-amazing!'' The announcer stutters dumbfoundably.
I put the violin back in the case when I get backstage and smirk.
''It's decided, the winner of this years Senior Musical Competition is....'' The man says over the mic.
You guessed it.
''Tsukiyomi Ikuto!''
I run out from the curtain and bow, flashing smiles at all the girls.
The head of the music department comes on stage and hands me a trophy.
It has 3 golden pillars with a hint of dark blue striping up the sides, and silver musical notes on the top of the pillars.
That's another award for my collection.
''Woohoo go Ikuto! Yeeaaah!'' I hear from the crowd.
Amu.
She grins and slaps her hands on the stage, making loud noises.
After everyones left, Amu says she has to go home to take Ami to the park.
A while after she leaves, I go into the toilets and fix my hair and my uniform.
I walk out and are greeted by someone I least wanted to see.
''What is it Saaya?'' I stare at her.
Her lips turns into a frown.
''I just wanted to warn you that Hinamori-san is bad mouthing you in the languages department!'' She sobs, pointing towards the section.
''As if. She wouldn't bad mouth me. Besides she went home.'' I reply, walking away.
''I'm serious! I'll show you! She's talking to Tadase!'' Saaya cries, tugging me the other way.
I go along with it and stick my ear to the door.
''I don't know why Ikuto won, must be rigged'' A voice says.
A-Amu..?
''Theres no way that un-talented playboy could win. Right Tadase?'' She says.
''H-Hinamori-san! What are you saying! That's so unlike you!'' Tadase replies from inside the room.
I can't believe my ears..
I don't want to hear anymore!
I run away from the door, and from Saaya.
I don't care where i'm going, but I just want to run!
I've been decieved.
All this time I thought Amu might have liked me.
Wrong, wrong, WRONG!
I run out into the road outside of school, and i'm too torn up to notice anything around me.
I hear a horn, and I look to my left, and I see a car driving towards me.
I have no chance of getting away, so the best thing I can do is shield myself.
Flying over the car and land on the asphalt was really, really painful.
I start coughing up blood, and everything blacks out from there.
Ikuto: Ouch, I'm injured! MEDIC! -lays on the floor with ketchup all over-
Amu: Omfg ketchup! -grabs some chips and dips them in ikuto's 'blood'-
Katsura: Well what a scene this is. And reviewers, please don't kill me for getting Ikuto ran over o.o
Ikuto: YOU #####! YOU GOT ME INJURED! -chases Katsura-
Katsura: NUUU Getting chased by the ketchup kitty! Amu help me!
Amu: Your on your own...-continues eating the chips-
~ Deep in the night, I am looking for some fun, Deep in the night I am looking for some love ~
~ Oh u touch my tralala, mhh my ding ding dong. ~
Touch the button and review! Or the ketchup kitty gets chu!
