Thinking

"YELLING"

"Person saying something special or person thinking back to what another person said. You'll have to figure it out yourself :O"

Chapter 4: Superstars and Halloween

Narrator's POV-

"MOM! I'm going out!" Amu yelled as she rushed down the stairs and slammed the door before she could answer. Does a single month pass without that cat trying to runaway?! Maybe I should get an electrical fence. Amu ran down the familiar streets, looking for blue. It wasn't long before she spotted the familiar shade of blue. Huh? I thought his hair color was slightly lighter than that.

"IKUTO!" Amu yelled. "THAT IS THE LAST TIME I'M LETTING YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE!" Amu walked up to him and started to drag him back.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing? I'm talking to someone!"

Huh? That's not his voice. Amu looked up…to find that it was not Ikuto, although he does look familiar and a lot like Ikuto.

"Yeah! Hands off of him!" Another familiar voice scolded me. Amu turned to look at the girl yelling. Her face was slightly red from anger. She had short purple-black hair and purple eyes. Amu glanced up at the boy she was dragging.

"Eh?...OHMIGOSH! I'm so sorry!" Amu apologized quickly. "I thought you were someone else! I'm so sorry, Iru-san, Yoru-san! You must have been discussing a concert or something!"

"Um…no." Yoru said. "Hey, you're that girl from the other day, right? When I was with my other sister Utau."

"Y-Yes…"

"You were with Utau?" Iru asked. "Geez. She has way too much free time. I like to see her try and work herself off as both an actress and singer." (A/N: Utau is a singer and sometimes model. Iru is an singer, actress, and model. Yoru is both Utau and Iru's manager. Yoru is the oldest (16), Utau is the middle child (14) and Iru is the youngest (12).

Yoru turned back to discuss things with Iru. "We'll just have to wait till they show up. You three can go to the hotel together."

"Yoru-kun?" Another voice appeared in the conversation.

Huh. I feel like I'm watching a drama unfold. Amu thought as she stayed to see what will happen.

"Miki? What are you doing here?" Yoru asked in a surprised voice.

"Yeah, Miki." Iru said in a jealous tone. "What are you doing here?" Iru grabbed Yoru's arm and hung on tightly.

Oh…a brother complex

"I was just passing by." Miki said in an innocent voice.

"If you're just passing by, then get on with it!"

I hope there's no cat fight. LOL. It really is like watching a drama. Unfortunately, the scenery doesn't change.

-Amu continues to watch for another 15 minutes (LOL she totally lost the thought of finding Ikuto. So while she does this, we can see what Ikuto's up to ;P)

-Ikuto's POV-

I walked down an ally, unlike normal people who would avoid this place. It was like a place from a horror movie except it was in the day time. It didn't matter to me, the fear that I had experienced here was already over.

It's been a while since I've been here. This place is still as dreary as it was since I was last here.

The ally reached an end and I just stared at it. The place where I was standing at that night, where that horrible man stood and the frightened boy sat. I won't forgive either one of them. I turned to leave when I saw blonde hair flying as the wind blew.

I stopped walking but I didn't turn to look at her. "What do you want?"

"Oh. I'm just here as an informant." She said. She didn't do anything; she just stood there, as if waiting for me to react. When I didn't she continued. "You're closer to finding what you want. But, that also means you have less time left. You'd have to come back soon."

My eyebrows raised in confusion. "Come back?"

"Oh. That's right. You weren't informed." She muttered in a soft voice. She probably thought I couldn't hear.

"Informed about what?" I said turning to look at the girl with short blonde hair in a white dress.

"It's nothing to worry about." She said with a forced smile. And before I was about to say anything, she left, walking back to the end of the ally, vanishing in the darkness.

I sighed. Does that girl ever bring good news? And seriously, I can think of a better way to make an exit.

-Amu's POV-

After 15 minutes of the two girl's drama, a really long limo appeared.

"Ah. They're here." Yoru said.

"It's about time." Iru said, pissed from her conversation (Argument) with Miki.

And out stepped…The band Diamond! Ah! No way! I can't believe my good luck these days! I have to thank Ikuto for wandering around!

The twins Dia and Daiya stepped out. (A/N: Daiya is the x version)

"Iru. You should know better than argue with an elementary student." Daiya said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's just go to the hotel. I'm pissed enough today." Iru said and climbed into the limo. "C'mon, Yoru."

"Uh…I'll wait for Utau, too."

Iru scowled as Dian and Daiya climbed in to join her.

The limo left and someone new crossed the street to join the scene. From one direction, Ikuto, from the other, Utau.

"Ikuto!" I yelled. Ikuto turned to look at me. And I wish he hadn't. He looked so sad and troubled. He caught sight of Utau and he started glaring. I changed my mind. I rather have a sad Ikuto than a glaring Ikuto.

"Stop staring at Utau. Didn't I tell you that? She herself said she doesn't like you." Yoru said. "See you later Miki." Yoru said as he called for another limo.

"Let's go Ikuto." I said and started dragging him away.

"I can walk by myself." Ikuto complained. I tugged harder when I heard that. "Geez. Why are you so mad?"

"I'm not mad!" I whipped around and yelled at him.

"You are so mad." He muttered.

"I heard that!" I said. Then I sighed, let go of his hand and continued to walk. 10 minutes of walking silently. "Hey. Do you like Utau?" I asked. Why the heck did I ask that? He already said he doesn't. And I don't care either way.

He stopped walking. My question surprised him. "No."

"Then why do you always look at her so much?"

"She…reminds me a lot of someone."

"Who?"

He didn't respond and continued walking.

Ok…Landmine #1 is Tadase and landmine #2 is this girl…Geez I have to be careful of what I say each day, then.

When we reached our house, he said "She's like a messenger. She always brings either strange or bad news."

"Um…Ok." I said and then I noticed he was still a boy. "You aren't going to change back?"

"Oh…right. Just so you know, I didn't run away, today. I couldn't change back to cat form so I took a walk. That's when that messenger came and told me stuff I needed to know. Apparently, she wanted to catch my attention by not letting me turn into a cat. I use the back door, Ok?"

I nodded.

When I got to my room, Ikuto made it in there before me. He was already asleep. Geez, whether he's a cat or boy, he's so mysterious. I sighed. I want to ask him, but it seems if I do, our friendship would end right there. Everything is balanced out so carefully, like it's a seesaw. If I try to lean closer to ask him anything, the balance would collapse and he would leave. I sighed again and closed my eyes.

"Sighing makes your happiness go away." Ikuto said.

I opened my eyes. "Huh? Ikuto? Why are you in boy form?"

"You looked sad. And as a cat, I can only listen to your troubles. I can't talk unless I'm like this." He said and smiled. "So, what's wrong?"

"Um…I-I…One of my friends seem to be having a hard time. I don't know if I should say anything because he doesn't seem to want to talk about it…"

He looked deep in thought. "Well, I wouldn't push my luck with that. I'd try to cheer him up."

"Ok!" I said smiling. Then I frowned. "But…I have no idea how to cheer him up, though."

"Um…Well, why don't you make his favorite food or buy a video game or video for him?"

"I'll go with favorite food." Chocolate-favored Tuna. I ran down the stairs into the kitchen to find the right can of tuna.

Afterwards, Ikuto never brought up what happened that day. He seemed happier as if the events were fading away to an old memory.

Today was Oct. 27, 4 days from Halloween and the kids here are getting a little crazy about what we should do with the school. Our class chose to have the school decorated with ghosts and stuff but in reality, after you get to the furthest part of the school, you are invited to a party. Lame.

Luckily, another class had a better idea. A test of fear. Now that's more exciting. (A/N: No, I haven't forgotten she's afraid of ghosts) The student council decided to have that as this year's event. Last year's event was to open a spooky café. They had 5 customers max. Half due to the fact that the students ate most of the products and the other half was due to the fact that nobody would come to the school at night. And any trick or treaters coming for candy and food had to pay for the food.

On Oct. 31, Halloween, I dressed up as a vampire. I made Ikuto come along and wear a cat costume. He didn't look good in a cuddly and cute costume so I gave him a pair of fake vampire teeth so he'll look scarier.

"Ok, everyone!" the teacher yelled. "You'll be given two tickets each. One ticket for each pair. There are two trails, which is why you get two tickets.

I received my tickets and was about to drag him in with me when he said "I'm not going in. I'll wait outside."

"I need a partner. Come on!" I said as I tried in vain to drag him. Not even a centimeter.

"Amu-san!" I looked up to see Tadase.

"Tadase-kun?" I saw that he was with Ran at the entrance. I walked over to talk to him without bothering to drag Ikuto. "You're going in now? With Ran-san?"

"Yes." Tadase said smiling brightly. "Would you like to come with us? I mean with him." He said glancing at Ikuto.

"No. He's being stubborn." I said grouchily.

"Then, why don't you go with Tadase?" Ran suggested.

"Huh?" Tadase and I both asked.

"It's Ok. I can go next time." Ran said smiling.

"Um…Ok." Tadase said and Ran left. "Let's go, Amu-san."

The two of us entered the first trail and awaited the horrors to come.
