Courting

Author's Notes: This is just a dribble so I don't know if you guys will like it. Furthermore, I'm just following my err New Year's Resolution: write a literary piece at least three times a week. I know, that's like: IMPOSSIBLE. I don't have beta so bear with my errors. And English is like my third language. Moreover, read the manga because it's like a fanfiction came to life (or in drawing).
Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara! nor do I own the following music tracks:
Jai-ho by Ar Rahman and PCD (Pussy Cat Dolls)
Beautiful and Dangerous by Akon.
Thank you for waiting patiently and may I present to all of you (drum roll please!) CHAPTER 7!!!
Amu's Room
10:12 pm
Amu locked herself inside her sole sanctuary in the Tsukiyomi Mansion – her room which was, by the way, just across from his. Breathing haggardly, she palmed her heating and obviously blushing face. Agh! Damn it! I need a cold shower.
Ran, Miki, and Suu looked up to find their owner covering her face. Worriedly they asked, "Are you alright, Amu-chan?"
Amu couldn't look straight to her charas so she opted to stare at the seemingly interesting floor. "Ah, I'm quite fine. I just need err shower!" She hurriedly dashed to the bathroom and, for the second time, locked herself in.
The three sister charas blinked once or twice. Miki smirked and her eyes glinted with mischief. "Ran, Suu, what do you think happened?"
Ran casually floated on air and put her arms on the back of her head. "I don't know. Ikuto probably did something to her."
Suu squeaked and blushed a good shade of pink. "You don't think he-"
"-did THAT to her again," Miki cut in.
Ran stopped floating and her jaw dropped. "No way! And we weren't even there to see it?!?"
Suu lightly pinched her on the arm. "Hey! What's that for?" Ran burst, inspecting the pink spot on her skin.
"That's bad, desu!"
"Eh? You enjoyed watching them in the first time!"
"N-no! Of course not!"
"Yes, you did!"
"No, I didn't!"
While her two sister charas bickered, Miki frowned in thought. This is serious. Ikuto probably likes Amu-chan who might not have realized this. Ah, wrong. Ikuto obviously likes Amu-chan and Amu-chan is… oblivious? I know that she is not THAT dense so she might find out Ikuto's feelings sooner or later. I wonder what will happen?
"Ran, Suu," Miki called. "Do you think Amu-chan can fall in love with Ikuto?"
The pink-clad and green-clad chara stopped upon hearing their sister's question. A sad expression was present in their faces. "I think, desu. She did fall for him once, didn't she?"
Ran scowled and said haughtily. "She didn't fall for him. She just had a crush at him when she's still in elementary. Things are different now, you know."
An argument between Ran and Suu was about to erupt again but, thankfully, Miki stopped them this time. "You guys are annoying sometimes. But at any rate, whatever happens, we will support Amu-chan! Right?"
Her two sisters nodded happily and said in chorus, "Yes!"
Ikuto's Room
10:14 pm
Cold water greeted his burning skin, gradually dissipating the warm feeling in his mid-region. Ikuto sighed in relief. That was close. So close.
Thinking of Amu's creamy and smooth legs, the succulent taste of her lips, her taut nipples pressing against his chest and the wave of pleasure when he sucked one of them, the tantalizing friction when she rubbed him there, her cries of pure desire, and the way she said his name –
Ikuto groaned. He thought cold shower wouldn't help him at all to cool off even for a bit. Obviously, even if he went to North Pole as long as he thought of what just happened, he would probably cause a meltdown! He's feeling so damn too hot for comfort.
He groaned again. He was feeling a bit déjà vu. This is the second time in a week. If this keeps up, I think I can't hold back any longer.
That thought made him chuckle. That would be nice…
Amu's Room
10:28 pm
Amu's POV
That's a very long shower, but who cares? It didn't help at all. I can still feel his hands all over my aching and needy body. The way he caressed me with his wonderful hands, how his tongue did a dance with mine, his groans of manly pleasure, and the way he pronounced my name with his velvety voice. I can still recall in hazy memory when he sucked-
Oh crap!!! Don't even go there Amu! I slap my face. Hard.
"Ouch!"
My three charas fly to me within a sec and give me a look that clearly says 'Are you going crazy? Or you're already crazy?'
I nervously laugh and say, "I just ah forgot something. But it's ok now so let's sleep." I hastily turn off the light and throw myself on the soft bed.
"Neh, Amu-chan," one of my charas calls. "Are you really fine?"
I hide my face under the pillow, afraid that they will see through my lie. "Yes. I'm just tired and confused."
"You can talk to us, desu!"
"Yeah. We're always here for you, Amu-chan."
"So whatever is troubling you, tell us about it."
I smile sincerely and can't help but feel a little ease. Without Rima, Nagehiko, Yaya, Tadase, Kairi, and Kukai by my side right now, at least I still have Ran, Miki, and Suu. They're always here for me. "Thank you, Ran, Miki, Suu. I'm feeling ok now."
"No problem, Amu-chan!"
"Good-night to you three."
"Good-night, Amu-chan!"
Sensing that the three have already caved in their eggs, I remove the pillow from my face and give a sigh of relief. I touch my face and it's still warm. I don't need anyone to tell me that I'm currently blushing. Heck! My face is burning that someone might think I have fever!
What just happened in Ikuto's room is… beyond comprehension. I don't know what made him do it. I don't even know what made me do it! But one thing is for sure, I liked it. Or else I would have beaten him into pulp by sexually harassing me.
Agh! How could I possibly like what he did to me? Sure, Ikuto is hot – super over-the-scale hot. He's attractive – too attractive as a matter of fact. He's pervert – since birth might I add. He's kind in a twisted Ikuto way. He's caring when he wants to and that is very rare, I think. He's selfless – always putting others before himself, doing things for the safety and good benefit of the ones he loves even if it means endangering himself. He's… Ikuto.
Ikuto. The same guy I admired long time ago. The one who left for five years without bothering to say 'Good-bye'. The man who makes me feels weird things inside my body…
And heart.
My eyes widen in enlightenment. My heart is about to burst in surprise. My hands shake with the weight of this new found information.
I am in l-lov-ve with him?!?
Of all people?!?
Oh God!
My head suddenly feels lighter than normal. And the world is spinning in the wrong way. I think I'm going to pass out.
Tsukiyomi Residence
7:05 am
Aruto's POV
I know I am not the smartest man in the world and I don't need to read a psychology book to notice that something is wrong with my two best buds in the house.
"Good morning, Ikuto-kun!" I greet cheerily, my awesome smile is obviously blinding and no one can resist my charm.
And he just glares at me and growls. SCARY!!! He makes himself comfortable on a chair at my right side. I can see bags under his eyes. I wonder what had gotten to him…
An unseen bulb appears on top of my head. I know! I kind of interrupted them last night. I suddenly want to be succumbed with depression right now. My first grandchild, I'm sorry! I am such a bad grandpa for prolonging your process and birth!
My instinct tells me that Amu is approaching. With all my Tsukiyomi pride and charisma, I greet her, "Good morning, Amu-chan!"
Amu, who appears to be fine, smiles at me and returns the greeting. She's so cute! Her golden eyes flicker to the other occupant of the table and I don't miss the hitch of her breathing and the pink blush on her face. Hmm… interesting.
However, her reaction doesn't last long as she immediately schools her expression to look more normal. When my dearest Ikuto-kun looks up at Amu with this glint in his eyes, I think hell has broken loose. Is it me or I think it's getting hot in here? Amu has her eyes widened, her mouth a little agape, her chest rises a bit too fast, and her face all the way to her ears is red. Ikuto, on the other hand, looks like he's about to pounce on Amu. Oh dear God! These two are so… horny.
Hello? I'm still here you know! I cough. No response. Again, I cough loudly.
"Huh?" Amu breathes.
I smile at her. "Come on, Amu-chan. Take a seat and eat break fast."
She bits her lower lip and smiles sheepishly. "Ah y-yes."
During breakfast, Amu just holds her head down, avoiding any eye contact with Ikuto. My son, upon noticing this, doesn't like it one bit so he plays footsie with her under the table. This makes Amu look up at him. I smile inwardly and Ikuto smirks. Amu, on the other hand, scowls at him and kicks his legs with more force than necessary. Ikuto twitches visibly and Amu smiles in triumph.
Does that mean they're back to normal?
Normal POV
Inside the limousine, Amu and Ikuto sat quietly beside each other as they made their trip to Tokyo University. Ikuto remembered something very important just now and told Amu about it. "Hey Amu," he said, advancing towards her.
She recoiled instantly and made a face at him while trying to mask the blush on her face to no avail. "I-Ikuto! If you're going to say something, just say it. You don't have to co-mmph"
Ikuto interrupted her with a mind-blowing kiss. With a final lick, he let her go and said in a ragged voice, "I can't pick you up after your class. I have a business appointment till 5 pm. I'll just ask Sebastian to do it."
Eh? Perfect timing then! "You don't have to ask him. It'll just be too troublesome. I'll ask one of my friends to give me a ride," Amu said.
Ikuto frowned at the thought of other males giving Amu a ride. "No."
"Ikuto!"
"No."
"Come on! Please with cherry on top?" Amu begged with puppy dog eyes and pouting lips.
Ikuto looked down at his angel and couldn't resist. Amu. He unconsciously lowered his head and kissed her gently. Amu responded almost shyly. "Ok. Just make sure you get home," Ikuto whispered between their kisses.
Amu just moaned in agreement.
Tokyo University
9:25 am
Sukiya's POV
The class has been going for almost an hour now and the Amu bitch is still in daze. Truthfully, this is not the mood I am hoping for. Shouldn't she be upset? Down? Broken-hearted? But how come I can practically see flowers, hearts, and rainbow on the background?
"Hinamori-san? Please answer the next question." I ask so that I can get her attention, however, after three times of calling her stupid last name, I am about to explode.
"HINAMORI-SAN?!?" I yell.
The class shuts up and Amu bitch only says, "Huh?"
I am twitching awfully and I want to smash something on the wall – probably her face. "Hinamori-san, I've been calling you for the past minute. Yet you didn't respond. That is quite rude, don't you think? Please come and see me at the faculty room during lunch."
She glares at me dangerously for a second. And then she nervously laughs. "Yes. I'm sorry Anubo-san."
Did I just imagine that?
"Ah that's alright. But please pay attention form now on. And you still have to go to the faculty," I say somewhat dumbfounded.
"Yes."
Something is amiss here.
12: 02 pm
Normal POV
KNOCK-KNOCK
"Come in," Sukiya said on the other side of the door.
Amu entered with a smile on her face. "Anubo-san?"
"Please call me Sukiya," the professor insisted.
"Oh right. Sukiya, what do you want from me?" Amu asked, again, with a smile that suddenly freaked out Sukiya. The way Amu voiced out her question meant something else.
"Well you see, I thought you have a sort of problem because you're quite odd this morning. Is something bothering you?" Sukiya intoned.
Amu hid the expression of her eyes behind her bangs and said, "Sukiya, what do you feel when people lie to you? You see, I met someone and told me false things about one of my friends. I don't know if I should still talk to that person or just ignore that someone."
Sukiya tensed immediately. Cold sweat formed on her back. She is obviously talking about me. But just play cool Sukiya Anubo. Tell her the right thing. Pretend you know nothing. Sukiya took a deep breath. "I see. That is… sad. You should confront that person and ask him/her why he/she lied to you. You might not know that this someone has a special reason. However, that reason doesn't justify his/her action 'cause a lie is still a lie no matter where you look at it. Tell me Amu, who is this person you're talking about?"
Amu clenched her fist and forced a smile when she looked straight at Sukiya. "I don't think you have to know Sukiya. I don't want to bother you any longer. You've helped me enough. And thank you very much."
Sukiya bit her bottom lip from growling impatiently. "O-okay. If that's what you want."
"Thanks for understanding, Sukiya," Amu said. "Can I go now?"
"Ah yes," Sukiya said and managed to form a smile on her face. When Amu's back was on her, she scowled despitefully. You bitch!
"Anubo-san," Amu said, her voice was cold and cryptic, when she's at the door with her back still on the professor. "I hate liars. I hope you're not one of them." And she closed the door behind her.
Sukiya glared at the innocent door and grit her teeth in frustration. That bitch is surely going to regret for challenging me.
3: 59 pm
Amu's POV
Phew. Class is over. And what that does mean?!? PARTY!!!!
"I am so excited!!!" I shout on the hall way. The girls giggle and the guys just smile at my expression.
"Say, Amu-chan, have you told to Aruto-san about the party this evening?" Nagehiko asks suddenly, making my merry dance stops.
Oh damn! Because of the Sukiya-Ikuto ordeal yesterday, I totally forgot to tell Aruto-san!!!
I nervously laugh and scratch the back of my head. "Well, you see, I err forgot."
"WHAT?!?"
I'm screwed, aren't I?
"B-but don't worry, I still have to go back to the mansion anyway. I'll just tell him there if he's there in the first place," I insist. "Neh, who can give me a ride to Ikuto's mansion?"
"Ikuto is not going to pick you up today?" Rima asks.
I shake my head. "He's got business appointment or something."
"I'll give you a ride then," Tadase offers.
I beam at him and hook my arm to his. "Thanks, Tadase-kun! You're a life-saver."
Kairi coughs and suggests, "If that's the case, why don't you just get the clothes you're going to wear and come along with Tadase to the apartment so that we'll go to the club all together?"
That's brilliant!
Yaya flings herself at Kairi who turns into a good shade of pink. "You're so smart, Kairi!" After letting him go, Yaya approaches me with puppy dog eyes. "Mou Amu-chan, please go to the apartment! We miss you!"
"Alright."
4:12 pm
"Hey Amu-chan, are the Tsukiyomis treating you right?" Tadase asks me during the right.
"Yes," I answer absent-mindedly. The plan is this: I am going to tell Aruto-san about the party; get my outfit; go to apartment; change clothes; go to the club together with the Guardians; and PARTY ALL NIGHT!!!
"…taking advantage of you?"
"Yes," I mumble distractedly.
And Tadase hits the break all of a sudden, taking me by surprise.
"Tadase-kun!!!" I yell at him. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Amu-chan!" Tadase raises his voice, his face is pained and I don't know why. "Leave the Tsukiyomi Mansion and stay with us."
"Huh? What?" I reply somewhat stupidly.
"Didn't you say Ikuto is taking advantage of you?" he asks, his hands gripping tightly the steering wheel.
I flush a bit. "N-no! Of course not!"
"But you said," Tadase stops, then sighs. "You weren't listening, were you?"
I smile apologetically at him. "My bad."
He sighs once again and accelerates the car. "What are you thinking anyway?"
"I'm just organizing inside my mind the things I have to do for this night," I answer.
If my plan is full-proof, Ikuto won't be able to stop me from partying! Hell yeah!
Tsukiyomi Residence
4:20 pm
"WELCOME HOME, AMU-CHAN!!!" Aruto-san greeted.
Amu and Tadase just sweat dropped upon being welcomed by none other than the master of Tsukiyomi Mansion, Aruto-san.
The said master of the house noticed the blonde guy beside Amu. He feigned a shock expression and said dramatically, "Oh my pour heart! I thought it's going to be a happy-ending for my darling Ikuto and Amu. But why, oh why, must there be obstacles on the way. Fear not my soon-to-be-born grandchild, I will make sure you will set foot on this wonderful land!" After his monologue, he pointed an accusing finger to Tadase. "You! Young man with blonde hair, state your name and relationship with Amu!"
During one of Aruto-san's antic, Amu quietly slipped inside the mansion and to her room, leaving poor Tadase with the man who awfully looked like Ikuto. Is this really Aruto-san? It's been so long since I've seen him that I forgot what he was like. Tadase thought.
"Aruto-san, do you not remember me? I am Tadase," he said at the man who was still looking at him suspiciously.
Tadase… How come that name is so familiar? Aruto looked closely at the young man who to take Amu home. His eyes widened a fraction and a big goofy smile was plastered on his face. "TADASE-KUN!!!" And he scooped him in his arms.
Oh the horror Tadase felt when Ikuto's father took him into a bear hug. The man was practically stranger to him! "A-aruto-san, I c-can't breath."
"Oh sorry!" Aruto-san immediately released him. "Please come inside my humble abode."
"Thank you," Tadase replied with relief. He studied the inside structure of the mansion and he couldn't help himself to be amazed.
"Tadase-kun, how are your parents?" Aruto-san asked, the playfulness in his voice suddenly vanished.
Tadase looked down and said quietly, "They're alright, Aruto-san."
"That's good to know." His tone was sincere. "Tadase-kun," he began, his voice was once again lively, "are you still waiting for Amu?"
Tadase nodded. "Yes. Actually, she's coming over to the apartment."
Aruto-san looked horrified. "Why? You're not taking Amu away, are you? Are you going to keep her in your apartment and we will never see her agan? Please! Don't take her away! Take me instead of her!"
Tadase was beginning to get scared for his life. He briefly wondered how Amu could possibly live in here. Probably reading his thoughts, Amu entered the living room while carrying a bag. "Anou, Aruto-san, please don't harass Tadase-kun."
"I am not harassing Tadase-kun," Aruto-san insisted. "Right, Tadase-kun?" he even managed to pout.
"Y-yes."
"See!"
Amu could only sigh. "Tadase-kun, have you told Aruto-san?"
"Partly. I figured you should tell him about it," Tadase replied.
"Ok."
Aruto-san seemed a bit lost. Tell what? He tried to assess the situation. Tadase, an ex of Amu, was here. Amu, carrying a bag, was coming over to the apartment. Oh no!
"You two are going to elope?!?" Aruto-san burst, fake tears falling from his eyes.
"W-what?!?" both said in unison.
Geez… This is harder than I thought. Amu walked over at a wailing old man and patted his back. "Aruto-san, I am just going to visit my friends. And well, there is this party in this club this evening so a friend suggested that we go there all together."
Aruto-san immediately relaxed but the evasive information didn't miss his rational mind. "So Amu-chan, what is this party?"
Amu smiled a little. "It's a party to celebrate the winning of me and the others in the competition."
"Ah! I see! So where is this club?" he asked, his face was depicting curiosity. But in fact, his intention was to get the details just in case.
Amu bit her lip. She was hesitating. If she told him, he might tell Ikuto. But if she wouldn't, would it not offend Aruto-san? "It's In the Corner Club."
"In the corner? Please be more specific Amu-chan," Aruto-san pled.
"Ah what Amu-chan meant was that the name of the club is In The Corner," Tadase supplied.
"I see. Then what time in this evening is the party?"
Amu and Tadase looked at each other for a brief moment. "Well, the party starts around 7 but we plan to go there around 8."
"That's kind of late Amu-chan. What time are you going home then? Do you want me to ask Ikuto to pick you up?" Aruto-san suggested. Ikuto must definitely know this.
"N-no!" Amu answered too quickly. "I mean, one of my friends will give me a ride home again. I'll probably be here around midnight or something."
"Oh ok then. Please take care on your way!" Aruto-san escorted them to the front door and bid them good bye.
Tsukiyomi Residence
7:46 pm
Ikuto's POV
I am tired. Damn tired. All I want now is a warm bath and soft bed – an Amu on it is a bonus.
But Sebastian said that father is asking for my presence in the living room. Geez. What does the old man want this time?
"I'm home," I greet him and settle on a chair across him.
"Welcome home," he replies. His expression is different – not the playful and annoying father he has come to accept.
"You're waiting for me?" I ask. I look around and notice that everything here is perfectly fine. I wonder what Amu is doing right now in her room.
"Ah yes. Ikuto, Amu isn't here in the mansion," father begins.
My eyes widen in horror and, in my disbelief, I stand up abruptly. "Where is she? Was she kidnapped?"
"Calm down, Ikuto. She's with her friends, partying at In the Corner Club," he informs.
I glare at him. "And you didn't stop her?"
Father glares back. That's a first. "I don't have the right Ikuto. And by the way, I met Tadase-kun this afternoon. He gave Amu a ride home."
Ok, I'm pissed! "Damn it!" I loosen my tie and remove my Armani tuxedo. I'm about to dash out of the mansion when father shouted "wait!" I turn around and glare at him again. Can't he see I'm going berserk here?
"Don't worry. I've got a plan," the way he says that creeps the hell out of me especially the evil grin on his face. He grabs his phone from the table and dials some numbers. I can hear a faint ringing until it's picked up. "Aruto Tsukiyomi here."
"Oh Tsukiyomi-sama, to whom do I owe this pleasure of hearing your voice?"
Father chuckles. "No one. I just want to ask you a favor, is that fine?"
"It will be honor, Tsukiyomi-sama."
"Good. I want you to put my son's name in the guest list with VIP Pass. Now."
"Oh ok. Anything else, Tsukiyomi-sama?"
"That is all. Thank you very much."
"No problem, Tsukiyomi-sama."
My old man gives me the thumbs up. "Ok, now that is settled. You can go to the party without causing trouble. And before you do that, take a bath and change."
I stare at him in a new light. Who knows that he can be helpful from time to time? "Ah thanks?"
"Don't mention it. This is to make up for what I interrupted last night," he admits. "But there's one thing that I ask of you."
"What's that?" I ask suspiciously.
He looks at me with teary eyes and pouting lips. "A grandchild?"
It's good while it lasts. "Stupid," I mutter under my breath. "Don't worry; you'll have one sooner or later."
In The Corner
8:47 pm
Normal POV
A tipsy Amu – clad in black khaki studded vest, gray shirt, punk rock pleather dog skirt, and demonia shoes, with black skull earrings and 24 piece glitter bangle set as accessories – danced in the tune of Jai-ho with a random orange-haired guy. Around her were some of her friends and classmates who were either drunk or tipsy too. This was the first time Amu went to a club party. She and the others usually celebrated this kind of occasion all by themselves. But this time was different since it was a collaborative effort of all the winners in the competition.
After a while, Amu got tired of dancing and went to their table to rest. Since she was alone in their table, she didn't have anything to do except to watch people go wild and make a fool of themselves with hazy eyes or to drink more liquor. She did both so she ended more drunk than ever with one thought in mind: enjoy every moment of this night.
9:09 pm
Ikuto's POV
I didn't imagine the line would be this long. There were so many Tokyo U students outside the bar and are still waiting to get in. Thank God I'm in the guest list with VIP Pass to boot. Not wanting to attract any unwanted attention, I cover my head with the hood of my gray shirt. I casually walk toward the bulky men positioned in the entrance. They are a head taller than me so they have to look down at me with their supposedly scary eyes.
"Name?" one of them says.
I don't bother opening my mouth. Instead, I present him an I.D. The other guy whispers something to him and they both bow down before me.
"I'm sorry, Sir. Please come in," the one with arrogant tone earlier utters with regret.
I only wave him off.
Upon entering the spacious club, I immediately search for Amu. Fortunately, I ask one of the assistants of the club who accompany to look for her table. He directs me to a secluded table with a good view on the center of the room where a group of teens are dancing. He also takes the initiative to get me a drink.
"Ikuto-sama, the table of the student you're looking for is there," he points an empty table and I nod at him in gratitude for his effort.
"You can go now. I no longer need your help," I say to him.
"As you wish, Ikuto-sama."
When the assistant is out of sight, I relax a bit. I am still tired from my business trip but this is nothing if something bad happens to Amu.
What in the world is she thinking anyway? Going to a place like this, she could get herself rape by strangers. Geez. Why does she always make me worry? And why do I even worry? Oh right. It's damn obvious.
Now, where is Amu?
9:26 pm
Normal POV
Amu really enjoyed the party. She danced with anyone who asked her, be it gal or guy. It's not out of kindness or generosity, but her rational mind was fog with too much alcohol that corrupted her to say yes. Nevertheless, her body was still moving expertly.
A good remix was being played by the VJ. The songs were Akon's tracks.
That girl is so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, yeah
(from Dangerous)
She danced, swayed her hips, and touched her body provocatively and sexily, as he lurked in the shadow with predatory eyes. She didn't know she's being watched nor he was there. All she did was dance and get loosen up. The expression on her face was seductive with her half-lidded eyes and slightly parted lips. And so he watched.
When I see you,
I run out of words to say
I wouldn't leave you,
Cause your that type of girl, that makes mistakes
…
I see you in the club, you gettin' down'
I wanna get with you
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
That wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, So damn beautiful
Said your so beautiful, So damn beautiful
You're so beautiful...
(from Beautiful)
What made him move his legs or stride toward her was still unbeknownst to Ikuto himself. When he 'woke up' from his trance, he was already in front of Amu with his hood still covering his face. Amu, who was clearly drunk but still strikingly beautiful more so because of her rosy cheeks, took him for another stranger who just wanted to dance with her. The others around them continued with their own pace while the two stood there.
Slowly, Amu reached out to remove his hood. And in doing so, her breath hitched when she recognized him. Instead of getting embarrassed or putting up a fight for getting followed, she laughed throatily and said in a somber tone, "Damn. I'm imagining Ikuto even in this condition." She smiled seductively. "But you really look like him. At least, that's what I think." She began grinding against him, earning a groan from Ikuto.
"Come on, cat boy, dance with me," Amu encouraged. She came up behind him and waved her flexible body all the way down as if he was a pole.
"Amu," Ikuto warned, his control gradually snapping.
Amu swayed more and ground her body against his while laughing melodiously and teasing him. However, when she glued her full front on him, snaked her arms around his neck and said, "Let me tell you a lil' secret." She leaned closer and pulled him down to whisper something in his delicate – and super sensitive – ear. "I think I'm in love with him." And she had the courage to bit his ear.
That's when Ikuto finally snapped. He snaked his arms around Amu's body and hungrily kissed her. "I want you, Amu."
She could only moan at the sensation. Blindly, he led her to his secluded table to continue what they're doing.
Maybe father's request will come earlier than expected…
To be continued…

To all reviewers:
I can't continue further! I have to stop for now. I'll continue next week. This chapter is supposedly not over yet, however, my eyes already hurt (since I've spent straight 8 hours on my laptop after arriving from school) and I think this chapter is way too long.
By the way, thank you for all the reviews I got from chapter 6!!! I am so happy that many people find Courting as addicting and cute.
As for this chapter, what do you think? Not much lemon? Too long? Review people! Reviews are welcomed and recommended! 30 reviews are ok!!!
Questions:
Will Ikuto and Amu finish what they started – the process of making Aruto's grandson?
Of course. No argument there. XD But not now… tehee.
How can Ikuto be so sure it's going to be a boy (grandson)?
Err it runs in the family? Haha Well, Ikuto is the first child and he's a boy. Not really. It's my fault. 'Grandson' should have been 'grandchild'.
Is Sukiya going to die?
If that happens, will I be accused of murder? XD
Does Aruto frighten you?
No. I personally love him even though I never encountered him in anime or manga. I think he's actually cool and funny.
Will there be more lemons?
Yes, just don't think of me as pervert though. I don't know where I get my inspiration from writing this kind of stuff (probably from watching too much shounen-ai like Jonjou Romantica and Loveless).
How many chapters do you think Courting will have?
Mhmm… I am still thinking about it. I'm targeting for less than 15 chapters 'cause beyond that number is just way too many, I think. What do you guys have to say about this?
