Chapter 3: The Way You Make Me Feel

"Amu" someone said I looked around frantically. Ugh not this again.

"Pssst" I looked toward the window there he was. He tapped on the glass "hurry open it"

I struggled with the lock for a few seconds but managed to get it open. The window was like a miniature French door. The glass panels swung open and let out a screech that made my heart stop. On the branch Ikuto flinched. Our eyes met. There was nothing between us. Just him. Just me.

"I-Ikuto" I stammered

He smirked "it's been a while, Amu"

"I heard something this way, quick check on the girl" someone yelled

Ikuto's smile faded he grabbed my arm and pulled me out the window. I guess you don't have a good judge of your surroundings when your knocked out cause one second I'm on grey carpet in a room that seems to be on the second floor and then I'm on some twig about a hundred feet in the air, blowing in the wind.

Ikuto's arms were wrapped around me securely. Gosh he was warm. He looked down at me and grinned. I flushed.

"Ready Amu" He said

"Ready"? I said quizzically, still distracted by his grip around me

"Ready for Wha-Whaaaaaaaaaaaat"

I screamed as we plunged toward the ground. I started yelling and cursing at him. Then he character transformed and we landed on another building below. We were headed to my house. When we got there he changed back and we went inside.

In my room I comforted Ran who was crying and got scolded by Sue. Miki was sleeping totally oblivious to everything.

"Amu-Chan" Ran said. Shouldn't you tell Tadase and the other Guardians?

I shook my head. I didn't want to worry them.

I checked my cell phone to see if any of my friends had called. Just one. Tadase.

I blushed. I had to at least tell him about my abduction. But then I'd have to tell him how I escaped. And that was one conversation I could afford to miss. Ugh.

Why did Ikuto have to come and mess everything up?

Things are going so well between me and Tadase; I really, really like him.

But… a little voice started to say.

I tried to silence it but it continued.

He isn't Ikuto…

Stop

And what Ikuto makes you feel…

Shut up, shut up.

…isn't like what Tadase makes you feel.

I blushed crimson and began to hate myself for thinking it. I shook my head, trying unsuccessfully to shake away the unwanted conversation I just had with myself. To calm myself down I decided a shower was a must. I needed to wash away my mixed feelings and my horrible night with Easter.

On my way there I bumped into Ikuto who had made himself at home with chocolate in his mouth and a box of cookies in his hand.

"Guess I don't need to say make yourself comfortable, freeloader" I said it sarcastically, but I was really thinking about how it would taste to kiss him with the chocolate in his mouth.

Suddenly I was hot. And not just in the face, everywhere.

He smirked and brought his face down to mine.

–Badump badump- My heart beat kicked in to fourth gear.

"Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

-Badump badump- My heart kept beating. Why couldn't he hear it? Wait what did he say? Thank him. Thank him for what? And then I remembered.

He had saved me. –Badump badump-

I Blushed and murmured thank you

"I can't hear you" he said. He leaned in closer.

And with our noses only a few inches apart it was all I could do to mumble thank you again as I turned on my heel and ran into the bathroom.
