Nagihiko's Pov:
I was trying to sleep at around 11:30pm but I couldn't get the hip-hop music out of my head, now that I am an assistant dance instructor I keep hearing the same beats all day long! So I decided to go for a walk, I was walking down a busy street thinking about how much easier life was when I was Nadeshiko, I was Amu's best friend, dancing wasn't as challenging. But I guess if I were Nadeshiko, it'd be a little awkward that I like Rima, and she won't accept she likes me too. I suddenly snapped out of deep thought when I heard a scream of help. It was too familiar, that voice, Amu! I ran towards the screams and found, just as I thought, Amu about to cross a busy street, screaming for help, I ran and pulled her back onto the sidewalk before she did anything she would regret. When I pulled her back, she lost balance so I carried her to a nearby bench. She was fast asleep in my arms. Was she sleep walking? I didn't know her home number, or her parents cell's either. I called Ikuto, he was an authority to Amu, in some way….i think?
Amu's Pov:
My feet were still cold on the hard street floor, I woke up to find myself in Nagihiko's arms, I hopped up in shock, "Nagi! W-what's going on?" He looked happy, "Well at least your conscious now!" He explained everything he knew that happened, I was so confused. "Amu, I have made arrangements for someone to take you home, so don't worry!" I stood up and reassured him, "I don't need anyone to take me home! I am fine!" He looked at me with a sad face, "Amu, you're barefoot, you probably don't have your phone, and it's 12am, it would be wrong for me to watch you go home alone, and I can't take you because I live on the other side of town." All of it was true, my feet were so cold, my phone wasn't in either of my pockets, I looked down and suddenly someone picked me up bridal style, it was so fast, and my head was already spinning, I didn't understand who it was until Nagi said, "Ah! Ikuto-kun! Thanks for coming, I knew you didn't live too far, and I didn't think this would be too much of a bother!" My face turned so red, my heart randomly started beating so fast (How can Nagi watch this happen and act as if it is nothing?), "You know Amu is never any trouble for me. Well I know you live on the other side of town, I can handle things from here." "Thanks Ikuto-kun, see you around!" I saw Nagi wave and run back down the street. Ikuto then sighed, "Man, you are a very troubled princess!" I didn't say anything but, "Ikuto, why did you come?" he looked me in the eyes and said, "Nagi called me, he didn't know any other authority to call, and why not? Well, I know how much you wanted to spent another long day with me, but young girls like you must go home and sleep!" He started walking down the street carrying me, we got to my house and he put me down so my feet wouldn't be cold, on the door mat. I opened the door to find my parents staring at me, papa had tears in his eyes, mama holding all of the phones we own. "AMU!" they both ran over to me and hugged me so tight, I couldn't breathe! They released me and invited Ikuto in.
"Amu, why were you out late, and with a boy!" My face slightly pinked up, but before I could say anything Ikuto said, "I had nothing to do with this outing; I was called to bring Amu home." Ikuto then explained everything to my parents. After, my dad told me to go upstairs to my room.
Ikuto's Pov:
I didn't want Amu's parents to think of me wrongly, I would never do anything to harm Amu, or her family. Her father sent Amu up to her room, and he then sighed and rubbed his forehead, his wife the began. "Ikuto-kun, we know you wouldn't ever harm Amu, especially after what's happened in the past, but we had planned a surprise trip to Okinawa this coming week, it is going to be winter break after all, and well, we know we can't have Amu sleep walking in a different town." Her husband then stopped her, "What's happened before? Midori, do you know something I don't?" I saw his wife jump at that, she did promise to keep me being taken in by Amu when I was sick, a secret. "No, papa! I wouldn't keep a secret from you! But this boy is a friend of Amu's, he always watched out for her!" she sweatdropped hoping that what she said was a good enough answer. He ignored and turned to face me, he said strongly, "Ok Ikuto-kun, here's the thing, Amu is 16 now, and girls at this age can get a little, well known (He quoted with his fingers) with guys, I don't believe Amu is like that. But while we are gone to Okinawa, can Amu stay with you? I believe you're a responsible Adult now, and I am pretty sure you have a little sister that's close to Amu." I couldn't believe what he'd just said, it took me a second to comprehend his words, I nodded my head, and he pointed a finger at me, "Now if anything were to happen to Amu that was caused by you, I will say this once, something will happen to you." I sat back in my seat and said, "I wouldn't allow anything to happen to her." He then got up and went to tell Amu that she'd be staying with me for a week, I could hear her scream WHAT! without straining my ears. Her mom then winked at me and said, "Thank you Ikuto-kun, my husband is just really conscious about his daughters! Oh, and what time do you want me to drop off Amu?" I stood up and said, "I take her to school anyway, I can just bring her now, it is Friday, and you guys will be leaving tomorrow night, right?" She nodded and ran upstairs as well.
~3rd person perspective~
Amu freaked out and packed, soon after Ikuto and Amu went to his house. They walked in to find the apartment trashed and Utau talking on the phone with Kuukai. It is 1am and snowing outside.
Utau's Pov:
Ikuto had left in a hurry earlier, he didn't tell me why, so I got on the phone with Kuukai and we talked, and talked, and talked! But it's so boring not to talk to him, right when I hung up with Kuukai I heard the door opened and shut. I ran up to go see if it was Ikuto, sure enough it was, but he was covered in light snow and Amu was next to him. "Hi Amu, why are you here in the middle of the night, she sat down on the couch next to me and told me everything, after that I helped her bring her stuff into my room. And soon enough we both dozed off on my bed.
Amu's Pov:
I woke up to something that smelled good, I saw Utau laying down next to me, she was snoring and drooling! I had to hold back my laugh! Soon after I heard Ikuto talking on the phone, "Yes, I understand that you need a violin player for smooth jazz night? I am Tsukiyomi Ikuto, I was told I had a segment with some others, I just wanted to know my practice times." I saw him writing down something on a little notepad, "Only 4 days a week? I heard 6?" I didn't know Ikuto was looking for a place to play. I knew he already had set concerts, then he hung up the phone and shrugged. He walked towards Utau's room and I pulled the covers over my head so he'd think I was sleeping. "Amu, just because I can't have Yoru to chara-change with doesn't mean I couldn't hear or see you already awake." I sat up in shock, I noticed my long hair was a mess and Utau was still snoring, Ikuto smiled at me, but it didn't seem normal, even his smile was perverted! He then looked at Utau and clapped twice. Utau instantly jumped up and gave Ikuto a really scary look. He pointed at the clock and I sweatdropped. "Amu, what time is it?" she said in a harsh tone, "around 6:30, we should get ready for school, don't you think?" She turned to face me and I swear I almost peed my pants!
Ikuto's Pov:
I loved watching Utau blow up, and she really blows up when I wake her in the morning for school. But because Amu asked her to get up she is gonna hurt Amu. I smirked and went back to the kitchen and pulled the eggs and bacon from the pan, "Utau, if you get up you can have bacon and eggs for breakfast!" It was silent for a moment.
Utau's Pov:
I really wanted to go back to sleep, but when Ikuto said bacon and eggs I sprung up out of bed in my shorts and tee and ran to eat. He put the plate on the table and said to be ready in 20 minutes, I growled at him. Amu walked over and sat across from me and ate her breakfast as well. "Utau, if you eat breakfast at home, why are you so hungry when Kuukai brings you breakfast too?" she asked innocently, Ikuto is a great cook, but he never cooks, and breakfast from him isn't normal. I flipped my excessively long hair and said, " I usually don't eat breakfast." Short and sweet, Amu looked at me a little confused; sometimes I wish she would just catch on that Ikuto is head over heels for her.
~3rd person perspective!~
Utau, Amu and Ikuto all got ready that day and Ikuto went out to the car, Utau pulling Amu along. Ikuto dropped them off at school. Amu was so tired from the awful night before that she could barely keep awake during class. During lunch period, Everyone but Tadase gathered and ate. Amu didn't eat much.
Kuukai's Pov:
Amu's been acting really slow today, and Utau has been holding her tongue about it too. I knew about Amu staying at the Tsukiyomi's apartment and all but still. We didn't talk much. After lunch me and Amu usually walk to the gym together, because I go to soccer practice and she has gym, but today she disappeared, I looked around for her and found her sitting on the sidewalk, leaning against the wall, napping. I walked over and tried to wake her. But she was fast asleep. I had to stop and stare for a minute, was Amu always this cute? I guess it's because she's sleeping but wow. She looks so innocent. I remembered when I was in elementary school with her, I had a small crush on her, but Ikuto and Tadase beat me to it, so then I met Utau and well, that's it. But, no one was around, she was sleeping, and it was my responsibility to get her to gym class. She then yawned and stretched her arms and her legs out. She opened her bright golden eyes and looked me in the eye. "Good morning Kuukai…" I laughed and helped her up, "Amu you're late for gym." She rubbed her eyes and said sorry, I don't know why she did…
Amu's Pov:
I had such a nice nap! Kuukai helped me to my feet, it took me a minute before I heard him. "WAIT, I AM LATE FOR GYM!" I jumped and ran to the locker room to change, and sprinted to gym after. I got yelled at by Coach Yasuko and had to run an extra mile today. Then I got carried away in thought, why was Kuukai staring at me before I woke up? Maybe he was trying to wake me up or something…? I then remembered 3 years back when Ikuto told me what a pervert was, "A pervert is someone who stares at people while their sleeping" my face shot up red and I shook my head in denial! Kuukai was dating Utau, they were the biggest love birds in town! Why on earth would Kuukai be staring at me?
~AFTER SCHOOL~
Utau ran off and gave me the key to the apartment, I don't know where she went but she said she'd text me need to know's, whatever that means. Kuukai and I decided to walk to his house, I felt weird because of earlier, he started babbling on about some soccer player he suspects is gay, I laughed a little, I really don't mind gay people but they always make Kuukai so annoyed! I stopped walking and he looked back, "Amu, are you ok?" I tightened my fists and let it out, "Kuukai, I need to ask you something." He came over and smiled, "Ok ask." Before I woke up today, before I went to gym, did you watch me sleep?" He folded his hands across his chest, "Yes, Utau had told me what happened last night, so before I went to practice I decided to look for you. I found you sleeping and had to debate with myself whether I was going to wake you up or not." I looked up into his eyes, "Why?" He laughed, "Why are you making this seem like a big deal? Sigh, I debated because I knew how tired you were, and that you've had nightmares, I didn't wanna wake you from what may be you're only good dream!" I softened my harsh stare, I guess I thought about it too much! I smiled and smacked him on the head, "Just making sure you weren't cheating on my best friend!" His face seemed enlightened, strangely. "You thought I would cheat on the perfect girlfriend, for one of my best friends?" "No, but it is a little weird when you wake up to someone staring at you!" My face turned a little red after that, then my phone rang, it was a text from Ikuto, "where are you?" Kuukai looked at the text and smirked, "Oh I see! You were worried that you're boyfriend would get jealous! Man you work fast, already live with him." I blushed and stuttered, "Kuukai come on, my parents are out of t-t-own and I don't have any other ch-choice!" Kuukai laughed as loud as he could and pointed at me, "JEEZ KUUKAI!" I punched him in the arm and texted Ikuto back, "Hanging out with a friend, y?" I looked up from my phone to Kuukai holding a coffee, "You went to get a coffee but didn't get me one!"
