Chapter Nine
"It tastes good." Ikuto said after swallowing a spoonful of beef stew.
I ate in silence, I had nothing to say. I looked down at my finger; the band-aid that Ikuto had so carefully applied was wrapped around perfectly. Trying to forget about my incident with the potato peeler, I continued eating. The sooner I was done, the sooner I would be out of here. Then, I could erase all of my ties with Tsukiyomi Ikuto.
Dinner ended quickly. I grabbed my duffel bag, along with the clothes that I had worn yesterday which were now clean, and left his apartment. He offered to walk me home, but since dinner had ended at only seven o'clock, I told him that I would be fine walking on my own.
When I arrived home, Ryuu-san, thank goodness, had not arrived yet. I was sure to clean up the mess I had made the previous night, and I wrote down everything I bought in the cash box and returned the extra money I had. I made sure the house was completely spotless; I didn't want Ryuu-san to know that my father had come.
Speaking of whom, I began to wonder what had happened to him. Ikuto had carried him down to the nearest park while he was unconscious once I had all of my stuff together. We both figured that once he woke up, he would think that it was all a dream and go home. I supposed that our predictions were right, for there had been no sign of him on my way home.
Once everything was in order I went into my room to lie down on my bed. As much as I hated to admit it, I actually had fun that day. My heart had twisted and turned, but the entire concept of it was still fun in some way. Yet, for some reason, I refused to return back to it. I whipped out my phone; it was my first step to forgetting Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I went straight to my contacts list and selected his contact. My finger rubbed gently on the erase button. Did I really want to do this? I shook my head; I did want to do this. Without another thought I erased his contact, along with Akatsuki's.
I closed my phone and stared up at my ceiling. Was I really doing this? I'd only met the guy twice and yet I felt like… I felt… NO!
I shook my head. No way! Now way! I was not attached to Tsukiyomi Ikuto! I continued to stare up at my ceiling. My eyes slowly drifted closed, allowing this hectic weekend to come to a close. I asked the heavens, God, what will tomorrow bring me?
I allowed myself to fall asleep peacefully. Although my hectic, fun, irritating, sad weekend was coming to a close, something I never would have expected was going to happen the next day, for while I was out having fun with Ikuto, I was practically digging my own grave.
The devilish sound of my alarm clock woke me up that morning. I hit the off button and stumbled out of bed. I was still in the same clothes I had worn all day yesterday. I groaned; I hated going to school. Due to all of my free time I had already memorized the material that we were going over, and I was already ahead of everyone in class. Sometimes, when the teachers caught me spacing off in class, they would send me over to the upperclassmen's classrooms so I could have a challenge for once. The days where I got sent to the higher classrooms were probably some of my better days.
I got changed for school, not wanting Ryuu-san to wait on me. I was ready within minutes, for some reason I was just in a huge rush today. I got everything together and checked the weather application on my phone. My heart almost skipped a beat when I saw the picture on my phone. Once again, there was a dark grey cloud with rain drops falling beneath it and a lightning bolt sticking out of the middle. It was going to rain today, and there was a chance of lightning.
I smirked. I didn't smirk for the reason you may think. Rain was what I needed right now, not because I missed Ikuto and wanted a small connection with him, but for quite the exact opposite reason.
Today, I planned on forgetting Ikuto and this past month completely, for all of my memories were going to be washed away with the rain.
Sorry it was so short, but I thought that this would be a good place to end the chapter.
So will Amu truly forget Ikuto? And what will await her at school that day? Look forward to chapter ten: And Here I Thought It Was Over. Until next time!
