CHAPPIE ELEVEN - - - - CONVERSATIONS OF THE EYES!

Souko turned around to look at Ikuto and opened her mouth to speak.

"Why would you do something like that, Ikuto?" She asked, frustrated, but continued, not letting Ikuto speak. "She loved you!" She sighed.

"You're lucky they are staying in town until the wedding is over."

Ikuto looked at his mother frantically.

"They're staying in the inn beside the bakery on the main street." Souko smiled, just as she finished a carriage pulled up.

"How did you –"Ikuto was interrupted by the carriage door slamming open.

"She didn't. Now hurry the hell up!" Rima and Utau yelled from the carriage door. Ikuto hopped into the carriage without a second thought. He settled next to Utau and across form Rima. After a couple moments the carriage hadn't started to move and Souko started to laugh.

"Well, are you going to tell the driver where to go or not?" Rima asked sarcastically.

"I thought . . ." Ikuto started to say.

"Yeah, Yeah. You thought just because the carriage came it would know where to go, but it DOESN'T! SO GET ON WITH IT!" Rima said rather loudly and impatiently. Ikuto nodded slowly before telling the driver the directions.

When they arrived at the inn Ikuto murmured a quick thank- you before he bounded out of the carriage door just as the driver opened it. Ikuto surprised the driver, making him jump and slam the door in Rima's face as she tried to step out of the carriage. Accidentally.

Ikuto ran to the front desk and saw Midori looking just as disappointed, if not more than, his mother. When Midori turned and saw Ikuto running at her, she smiled slightly.

"Well, if it isn't mister heart breaker himself." She said smiling. Ikuto frowned at the comment.

"Relax, boy! I'm just teasing." Midori laughed. Ikuto nodded and relaxed a little bit.

"Do you know Amu's room number?" Ikuto asked with a deep breath.

"205." She answered before Ikuto ran to the stairs.

"I don't know if you will be able to get near her!" Midori yelled after Ikuto.

However Ikuto didn't hear what she had said as he raced up the stairs. He got to the second floor and slowed to a walk, carefully looking at all the numbers, making sure not to miss number 205. He turned the corner and came face to face with a man just a bit tall than himself, dressed in black and had black hair.

"Um . . . could I please get by?" Ikuto asked the man who peered down at him with odd disgust.

"Name." The man said.

"I. . . Ikuto." Ikuto responded hesitantly.

"No." The man said.

"What?" Ikuto was confused at the answer.

"You asked if you could see the lady. Your name. She said not to let you in so. NO!" The man explained.

"Oh, relax." Midori said coming up behind Ikuto.

"Madame, the boy doesn't have the authorization to see her." The man said, but Ikuto caught a faint sound of almost pleading Midori to agree with him.

"Well, he's with me. Now let us pass." Midori told him with authority. He nodded and moved to the side letting them pass in to the room he was so strongly guarding.

When Midori closed the door behind them she said something about telling Amu to get a better guard and one who understood the rules. After she added,

"Amu might be in her room. I'll be leaving, so don't do anything to make her kick you out." Midori told him with a sigh, gestured towards Amu's room and walked out of the room. Before, Ikuto went to Amu's door he heard Midori arguing with the guard. When he realized he should get to Amu's room, he walked in the direction Midori pointed to earlier.

He made his way to the door, took a deep breath, and knocked twice. He heard shuffling followed by the door opening. Slowly, the door opened revealing dull yellow eyes. However, she slammed the door shut, or tried to, as soon as her eyes met blue. Fortunately for Ikuto his foot was caught in between the door frame and the door. Amu mumbled some nonsense about slamming the door hard enough to cause more pain. Ikuto ignored her, stepped into her room and closing the door behind him.

"What do you want?" Amu asked with her voice dripping with distaste.

"I want to apologize!" Ikuto pleaded. Amu quickly looked away, but Ikuto could see her reflection in the mirror near her and could see she was wavering towards forgiving him.

"Please, Amu! I'm so sorry. . . I just couldn't believe you were with for me weeks." Ikuto said, but instantly regretted it as Amu's face hardened and all traces of emotion were gone, except for anger.

"You know," Amu spun back towards Ikuto, "I was close to forgetting about what you did, and forgiving you, but I change my mind."

Ikuto frowned as he watched Amu turn back towards the mirror. Amu looked upset too.

"Amu. . . I love you." Ikuto whispered the last part, forcing Amu to listen. Amu whirled around swearing her ears were deceiving her and almost jumped off the chair she was sitting in.

"Y- You what?" Amu stuttered not believing him.

"I love you!" Ikuto said louder and surprised himself. Amu started to cry as she ran over around the coffee table and tackled Ikuto in a hug. She buried her head into his chest while Ikuto rested his head on her head. Ikuto sighed in relief to find that she still smelt like strawberries and wrapped his arms protectively around her.

Midori and Tsumugu walked into the room. Midori was smiling and Tsumugu was wailing about losing his little sparrow. Midori walked up to Ikuto and told him it was time to go. Ikuto frowned, but kisses Amu on the cheek. Amu turned a bright red and her golden eyes were brighten again as she waved goodbye to Ikuto as he rode away in a different carriage than before.

Amu frowned again and turned towards Midori. They had a conversation with their eyes.

"I know honey we'll have to find a way to deal with that trouble-making boy." Midori said finally speaking up.

"I just wish he wasn't invited to Ikuto's wedding as an attempt to settle the conflicts between kingdoms." Amu said sadly, and her frown deepened. They walked back to their room when Midori remembered something.

"Where's the guard from before?"' Midori asked when they were in the kitchen of their room.

"There was never a guard." Amu replied opening a cabinet.

"Yes there was, he wouldn't let Ikuto pass." Midori answered completely confused. Amu's eyes widened. Then Midori and Amu had another conversation of the eyes.
