Ikuto's POV:
"However, I think I will hurt his feelings sooner or later." Amu continued softly.
I was astounded by what Amu just said. What did she mean by saying that?
"But you'll hurt him very soon, you say... Why is that?" I asked, while mimicking and rephrasing her statement. She didn't budge nor answer.
"Amu, hurting someone is a bad thing to do, you know?" I replied with a tone of mockery. She just continued to stare at me with her honeycomb eyes. She is blushing and her hands are gripping.
"I don't like him!" She shouted and she was raising her feet up high, trying to reach my level but she failed. I snickered. She returned to her normal position afterwards and she closed her eyes tight. "...because I like you." She continued, and this time she is whispering.
"Who wouldn't like me?" I replied in a teasing tone but her serious look didn't change. I sighed.
"Now that my father is back, what are you planning to do?"Amu asked, changing the topic. Maybe because I was teasing her while she looked so serious.
"I don't know. Settle the misunderstanding that Utau-san and I married, I guess..." I answered back and her expression showed confusion. Obviously, she didn't understand what I told her.
"Misunderstanding?" She asked, baffled by what I have said.
"Alright, I'll tell you something interesting." I said in a convincing manner and slowly, her tense expression softened. I motioned her to come closer and she did. "I didn't marry your mom, okay? It was all just an act." I told her but she didn't give a happy expression like what I was expecting. Instead, she showed irritation and even hit my arm continuously.
"Ouch! Hey! What was that for?" I shouted irritatingly. She didn't have to be that mean. And who would have thought that Amu could hit me this hard. It really hurts.
"How could you lie to me? And here you show irritation after I hit you!" She shouted, with a more obvious irritation in her voice than what I had just a while ago.
I really tried to control it, since I don't want to ruin the mood but-
"HAHAHAHA" I laughed with the highest of my voice.
"What's so funny?" Amu asked but I just continued to laugh. I couldn't say a word right now.
"Ikuto!" She pouted. I stopped after hearing her cute pout.
"I don't know what's funny. Maybe it's you!" I grinned at her and she blushed. I can't believe that up until now, this girl is easy to fluster.
"BAKA!" Amu countered.
"Sorry, sorry." I apologized 'sincerely', if you call chuckling while apologizing sincere.
Amu's POV:
And a while back, I was confessing my feelings. How did it turn out to be like this? In fact, it was even foolish of me to confess, considering the fact that he was the one who didn't trust that our relationship would last. Maybe Ikuto is just trying to be nice, hoping not to turn me down flatly. He is still like the Ikuto I've known. Always caring.
"Aww, Amu... Don't show such a gloomy expression. And just a while ago, we were both having fun." Ikuto teased once again. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he really didn't care about my confession. Maybe he didn't really care for my feelings. Maybe he really just wants to make fun of me.
I sighed. But didn't make any comments.
"If this would lighten up your spirits... Our feelings our mutual... Happy now?" Was he trying to tell me that he also likes me?
"So... Ikuto... You also, like me?" I asked hoping a 'yes' for an answer.
"You really are such an idiot." He said and ruffled my hair. "I just hate cheesy confessions." That's right. When Ikuto asked me to be his girlfriend before, he didn't say any corny and cheesy words. He maintained his cool expression... always. How fun it would be to break that cool side of him. And someday, I will.
...+ +...
Normal P.O.V.
(a/n: So Utau finally told Kukai the truth, which you all know already. Just don't want to type them anymore... I'm too tired and too lazy to do so.)
"That's just so sweet Utau." Kukai told Utau as he embraced his wife.
"And you were overreacting." Utau countered but returned the embrace anyway.
"It's because you didn't tell Amu the truth!" Kukai defended and unintentionally, he broke away from the embrace.
Utau chuckled and for a little while, Kukai didn't say anything. But sooner, Kukai chuckled with Utau and there you have it, a happy reconciliation.
...+ +...
Amu's P.O.V.
"But what about Koneko? Aren't you going to tell him you like me? Or you just don't want to hurt the man whom you've shared a kiss even just for a short time?" Ikuto said, but I couldn't sense any jealousy in his voice. Just a blank expression is plastered on his handsome face.
"Until now, you're still so mysterious..." I softly mumbled, not wanting him to hear me. "I'll meet up with him." I said in my normal voice this time.
"Why? Do you want to know how and what I feel from time to time?" Ikuto teased and then smirked. So my attempt not to make him hear what I said failed.
"I-it's not like that..." I defended, but stuttered. I don't know why but I felt a little embarrassed. I'm not sure if I was blushing but I could feel the sudden rush of blood on my cheeks.
"Aww. That hurts Amu." Ikuto fake pouted as he suddenly sat down on the floor. "Come on, Amu. Sit beside me." He offered gently and I was mesmerized by the gentle aura in his voice. Out of instinct, I did as told. Ikuto shoved his phone and punched a few numbers.
"Here..." he said as he gave me the phone. "Tell Koneko to come over. He must know the truth as soon as possible." Ikuto somewhat ordered but he didn't sound superior.
"Eh? You want me to call him now?" I answered somewhat complaining. He didn't answer back but instead we had a staring fight. Somehow it feels like this happened before. We had a staring fight followed by me being captivated by his midnight blue hair, and sapphire eyes.
"I-I'll call him now, I guess." I said and stood up grabbing the phone from him as fast as I could.
But what am I supposed to tell Miru?
After two rings, I shut the phone, without waiting for Miru to answer.
"The line was busy. I'll try to call him again later." I told Ikuto in a bored tone. I did that so he wouldn't sense that I was lying. "Why don't we just enjoy this day together?" I offered, while smiling. I stretched my hand to help him stand up although I know he doesn't need my assistance. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the floor with him. It didn't hurt, fortunately. Maybe because I landed on the top of him. What?
I fell on top of him and our face is just a few inches away from each other.
...+ +...
Miru's P.O.V.
What the hell? What does Tsukiyomi-san want to talk about? And at this time to, while I'm having a nice conversation with an interesting girl. He didn't even bother waiting for me to answer. Is he that angry when I kissed her beloved daughter? Come on! It was just a kiss. And it didn't seem to be interesting for my part since it was obvious that Amu was thinking of something else while we were kissing.
"Who was that?" Yaya asked. Her brunette hair in two ponytails matches her auburn eyes. She is shorter than I am and she is so childish. She claims that she is 18 but she acts like a two year-old little girl.
"Oh, a friend. But he hung up on me." I said and gave her a warm smile afterwards.
"That was rude! But it's fun." Yaya said cheerfully. "I remember when I was a little kid, I punch numbers in random and I tease those who answers my call." She continued and gave me one of her worth-treasuring smiles.
At last. I finally found a girl, the right girl, to bestow my love.
Definitely, I, Miru Koneko, 20 years old, will surely have her as my girl...
But for now, I'll just enjoy her company.
...+ +...
Amu's P.O.V.
I landed on top of him and our noses were touching. I was about to get up but didn't have the courage to do so.
Ikuto smirked and I realized the position we were in. Anyone who would see us (fortunately we are alone), would think of something perverted. As I was about to get up, he pulled me again and this time, he was the one on top of me. (A/n: like on Shugo chara, episode 3 where Ikuto was on top of Amu, exactly like that.)
"You suggested that we enjoy our time together, right?" Ikuto grinned and I just nodded. He slowly leaned his face closer until our noses were touching again. But I didn't focus on that. Instead, I concentrated on his eyes, his azure eyes. I don't know why but I'm easily captivated by his eyes.
Finally, he brushed his lips into mine and afterwards locked them together. The kiss we shared was sweet and gentle. It felt so... great! It seemed like we could kiss forever... But unfortunately, that is impossible because after a minute or two, we pulled away from each other, gasping for air.
He lied down on the floor beside me.
"Amu... It was foolish of me to break up with you before, don't you think?" Ikuto suddenly asked, and I wasn't sure how to answer.
"No, I disagree." I firmly answered back, and then sat down again. He did the same and I noticed a glint of interest forming in his eyes.
"Why?" Ikuto asked.
"Honestly, I experienced being in different relationships after you left. And I have to admit, it was fun." I said and grinned afterwards.
"I didn't experience being with other girls besides you." Ikuto said and he had that disappointed look in his eyes.
"I was just kidding. The reason is... Even though I did experience being with the other guys, I am fed up after a week or so. Unlike you, secretly in my heart, I was hoping to be yours again." I blushed as I said these words. "And honestly, you didn't go out with anybody else?" I continued.
"I didn't." Ikuto simply stated.
"As if I'd believe you..." I defended, but secretly, I was touched by what he said.
Ikuto crept closer to me and then...
"Want to try again?" Ikuto smirked. I blushed and nodded.
And there, our lips were locked together once again...
End of Chapter... End of Story.
For the first time, I managed to finish a chaptered story! I'm indeed so proud of myself... I hope you'll continue to support me and well here are two questions...
(1) Should I make a sequel?
I have been fighting with myself now whether to make a sequel or not. And up until now, I can't decide. So what do you think?
(2) Should I rewrite this story?
Many ideas have been running through my head right after the story is rearing its end. I'm somewhat disappointed that I wasn't able to insert them. So, what do you think?
Review?
