Chapter 3

Ikuto smirked, "I thought so," he kissed her again.

There was a knock at the door. Ikuto let go of Amu's lips long enough for Amu to say a quick who's there, then kissed her again.

"It's me," Ami said, before opening the door, she saw Amu kissing Ikuto with her eyes closed and her arms around his neck. Ikuto had his arms around Amu's waist, his eyes were also closed. Then he opened one to see Ami watching them and blushing.

"I see you like to watch," Ikuto said smirking, then licked Amu's lips and stuck his tongue in her mouth making sure Ami could see. Amu kissed back for a minute, then stepped back.

"Stop teasing Ami, Ikuto," Amu said, playfully smacking him on his chest.

He smirked and stepped closer to Amu, wrapping his arms around her waist, "Am I only allowed to tease you?"

"Yes," the smirk on Amu's face came a surprise to Ami. Amu playfully pecked Ikuto on his mouth.

"You act so different when your around him," Ami said, confusingly.

Ikuto smiled at Amu then turned toward Ami, "It's because she can let down her outer character and show herself when she's with me. Because when we met she tried being all cool and spicy and I saw right through it,"

Ami nodded smiling. "Since your dating Ikuto, can I have Kukai," Ami's face was flushed with redness.

"Um. Sure, but don't you think he's a little old for you?" Amu asked, as she sat down in Ikuto's lap. Ikuto had sat down on her bed, while he was talking.

"Age is just a number, babe," Ikuto wrapped his arms around her waist, laying his head on her shoulder, "You would know as all people," Amu smiled and nodded her head. She did know of all people he was older than her by a few years, but she didn't mind dating a guy older than her, they have always kind of secretly been dating. But not really she had always thought of him as more than a friend but a tad less than a lover, but now she knows exactly what to think of him. And now she knows what those heart jumps and speeding heart rate, meant. Why she would always blush around him, or stutter and never get out what she wanted to say. Ever. Amu doesn't know how, or why it took her so long to realize that she was in love with Ikuto. Then she remembered her crush on Tadase, it was his fault. She could blame her blindness on him, she thought he was the one she loved, till she saw what a player he was, and how he hurt every girl he touched, or guy at that matter. He would sweeten up to them, get them to like him, screw them, and throw them to the ground. He tried that with Amu once but when she refused he was going to force her, but luckily Ikuto was close by and herd her yelling for him. When Tadase ran off after Ikuto beat him up she realized that she loved him, that was why she couldn't let Tadase get to her, she had Ikuto waiting at home for her. No one has saw Tadase since then.

"Amu," Ikuto said, pulling her out of her thinking state.

She shook her head and looked at him with a smile, "What is it Ikuto?'

He laid down, pulling Amu with him, Ikuto sat up again to pull the covers over them, "It's getting lat, you should go to sleep."

Amu looked around and noticed the lights were off, Ami wasn't in the room and it was eleven. Ikuto laid by her, putting his arm under her head, and the other one around her waist. Then laid his head on Amu's shoulder. She smiled, then leaned her head back enough to kiss Ikuto lightly on his mouth. "Goodnight,"

"Night," Ikuto smiled and kissed her, then closed his eyes. Amu soon drifted into a pleasant slumber.

The next morning Amu woke up to see Ikuto changing into his regular clothes. There were three suitcases sitting on her floor. A single tear fell down her cheek, 'He's leaving today,'

"Good morning, Kitten, Ready to go to the air port?"

Amu smiled the best she could, "I'm as ready as I'll ever be," Ikuto nodded then turned his back, "What are you doing?" Amu asked getting out of bed.

"Waiting on you to change and tell your parents were your going, so we can leave," Amu nodded, she got out a black linkin park T-shirt and some skinny jeans. All Amu did with her hair is pull it up in a pony tail.

She ran and told her parents were she was going then went outside, when she got there Ikuto was already there with his stuff in the car, "Utua will be there, to bring you back home," Amu nodded then put her head down, trying to keep the fact that she was crying from Ikuto. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it, "It's okay to cry, Amu, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm going to miss you like crazy, but I have to be strong, so it wont hurt you more. Remember you will hear from me every night rain, sleet, snow, or hail, I'll call you. And as soon as I get some time I'll come see you." Amu nodded again, Ikuto pulled her into a half hug, then went back to holding her hand.

When they got to the air port Utua was already there. The walk to the place were you see people off to was the hardest walk in her life. "Can't I just keep you…with me?" Amu asked.

Ikuto smiled, "I wish you could, it would be a hell of a lot easier for me and you. But I can't," Amu nodded. The loud speaker came on and announced that Ikuto's plane was leaving. He leaned down and kissed Amu one long last time, "I love you," he said, with tears in his eyes.

Amu started bawling and hugged Ikuto, "I love you too," Utua pulled her off of Ikuto and hugged her. Amu looked at Ikuto's retreating form and heard one last bye Amu.

Utua took Amu back home and Amu called and told all of her friends goodbye, not having the strength to do it in person after seeing Ikuto go.

She packed her bags and laid down to go to sleep.

That's all for the night. I need some help describing the plane ride and stuff before Amu goes to her dorm room. Any sugestions? If I don't get some help it will probly be a long time before I get to update. 4 more reveiws.
