CHAPTER SEVEN

"Amu! Hi, I want to talk to you," Tadase paused. "Can I come in?"

Amu was a bit stunned for a moment. How dare he come back after what happened? She felt a barrier between them and she felt her defenses go up.

"What the hell do you think you're doing back here? If you want to talk, you wouldn't have run off after you broke up with me, you sniveling little wuss." Amu spat out angrily.

She didn't who was more surprised, Tadase or herself. Amu was always very gentle and was not the aggressive one in their relationship. It felt good to get some of her anger out. It had been kept inside of her, bottled up, but now the cork has popped off. Tadase backed off a little bit, "I just want to talk. I know I made a mistake, please! Give me one more chance to make it right. I still love you."

"You. Fucking. Lier." Amu said, her voice trembling. "I saw you with your new girl today. I saw how you were kissing her, don't lie to me Tadase. I know you don't actually love me. You expect me to believe all this bullshit you're spitting out?"

"Amu, come on baby. Be reasonable, can't we go inside and talk?" Tadase spoke up timidly.

"No. We're gonna stay out here. Actually, you can stay out here by yourself. I'm done with you, get out of my sight." Amu spoke with such ferocity and her golden eyes were so cold, it actually scared Tadase.

You see, Ikuto was still in the shadows listening intently. He never knew this girl was so feisty and she sure told the girly sounding guy named Tadase. So this was the guy who broke Amu's heart. The bloke who caused the depression and the scars on her wrist. It made Ikuto angry and hell was about to break loose if he got his hands on Tadase. Wait. Why did he care so much? This was really confusing Ikuto now.

Amu was about to slam the door in Tadase's face when he blocked it from closing with his foot.

"Come on now Amu, I know you are still in love with me. Admit it and stop being so stubborn." Tadase said smirking. He forcefully pushed the door open a bit more. It was easy since Amu was so frail now, she barely had the strength to close the door.

"You mean I was in love with you," Amu said angrily. "You misused my trust and lied right in my face. You never loved me, go away and leave me alone!"

"I never meant to, now come on Amu. Stop fighting and let me inside." Tadase said while trying to get the door open.

It took all the energy Amu had to try to close the door. "Leave me alone! Please just go away, I never want to see your pathetic face ever again."

"Don't be like that come on-"

"The lady here said to go away and leave her alone." Ikuto said stepping out of the shadows.

Amu would have busted out laughing at the sight of Tadase's face when he saw the mysterious guy step out. If she wasn't so angry right at that moment, she was sure she would've laughed her ass off.

"Who the hell are you? This doesn't concern you, I'm trying to talk with my girl here." Tadase said, regaining his macho stance.

"It seems to me that she doesn't want you here and you are not her boyfriend," Ikuto said with a smirk. "So hop off little kid, you're nothing special. Stop wasting your time and her time."

Tadase looked at the newcomer with an indignant expression on his face that turned to anger. He charged at the guy, lashing out with his fist as he got close. Ikuto caught his puny little fist and bent it back until Tadase was howling with pain.

"Now leave. Please." Ikuto said quietly in his face.

Tadase ran off, glancing back several times to see if he was being followed. Amu stood at the door still trying to figure out what happened. This random stranger just stepped in and helped her. Was he stalking her?

"Are you alright?" Ikuto asked her. Amu jumped, not expecting him to be so close to her.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," Amu stammered. "Why did you save me? And why were you in the shadows? Are you stalking me? What the hell is going on?!" A stream of questions came pouring out.

Ikuto was taken back with all the questions. Dang, this girl had a lot of things to ask. "Whoa there, slow down with the questions. The name's Ikuto."

So what do you guys think? :) Don't be shy to review! This is my first story ever, so no bashing please. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. ^-^
