Anyways… I really like this chapter, it's cute. I think. Well, hope you like it too xD And please review\comment!

"HELP! Too much at once"

"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." Andy Warhol

I did as he said and took a seat on one of the two armchairs that were in the room. Then he played for me.

The melody that reached my hears was filled with an overwhelming felling of emotion. I closed my eyes. Love. Pain. Happiness. Freedom. Desire. Everything. It was so nostalgic. I was sure had heard that melody somewhere before. A long time ago. Yes. A boy saved me twice and then gave me his scarf. He promised to play for me again. My first love.

When the music stopped I opened my eyes and said in a whisper:

"It's you." I said. "You're the boy that saved me that day… the scarf… I..."

"…Hey." He chuckled.

I was speechless. It was just too much to process.

So he's the kid from before? It has to be… how could I forget that melody... so pure. I get it now. Why father and mother are so fond of him. They're just grateful. And yesterday… I probably blushed hard thinking about what I confessed to my mother the day before. I glanced at Ikuto. He was staring at me. "I think he was my first love." Those words just kept repeating inside my head. I blushed.

"So…you finally found your feet." He said smirking.

"I…I… When… How...? Oh God. I have a headache." I hid my face with my hands. He laughed and came closer.

"Oisashiburi…nee Amu?" he said smiling kindly.

"You're embarrassing." I pushed his face behind with one hand. "Just shut up." I was blushing.

"heh… so sly." He said.
"Shut up…"

Can't believe it's him. My memories are so blurry but, the feelings are still strong. Heh I'm glad I was able o meet him again, but I will definitely make sure he doesn't find out. It's too much… just too much. A week ago I didn't even remember of such stuff, tha…wait did I told my mother that HE was my first love?

I glanced at him.

"What now?" he asked lifting one eyebrow. I blushed.

"Nothing!" I answered pushing his face away –again.

"Hey you—" he started.

"Stop pushing!" We both turned our heads to the door. Someone was eavesdropping.

"Who is that?" I muttered and Ikuto sighed. He stood and walked to the door and then opened it. Three people fell on their faces and there was a fourth person wearing glasses that was about a meter apart from the others.

He didn't eavesdrop?

"Outch?!"

Ikuto took a deep breath with his eyes closed and then shouted angrily:

"What the hell are you doing?!"

~Time skip~

"We're sorry, so sorry…"

There were three people –that I recognized from the «Harem Group» one of tem being Utau-chan, Ikuto's little sister- bowing endlessly to Ikuto.

"Why do they keep bowing?" I questioned in a whisper.

"That would probably be due to their fear towards Ikuto-kun." I jumped in surprise. The fourth guy was sitting on the chair next to mine –casually- drinking tea.

"O-oh… is that so? Ha...haha… WAIT, Their what?"

"Fe—"

"I heard you alright…but why? Ikuto is a stupid and careless guy that simply thinks that the worlds spins for him only and apart from that he also is..."

"Ahem…" the guy pointed with a finger to the top of my head.

"Wha…?" I looked at the table top and noticed a third shadow. "Oh…" I turned slowly and smiled at the shadowy Ikuto behind me." Y-yo!"

"You filthy little brat…"

He wrapped my neck with his right arm and then he ruffled my hair violently with his left fist.

"Outchoutchouchoutchoutch…"

~time skip~

"Say it one more time."

"I am deeply sorry."

"I won't forgive you. Again."

"You…" I started angrily but he glared at me. "…kind, kind person… won't you forgive me?" I faked a smile and tried my best to look cute.

This is hell... what kind of Ikuto is this? I didn't know this side of him at all. Now I get it why they feared him.

"Poor Amu-chan." I heard Utau mutter.

"What a strong woman that one his. To call Ikuto an idiot after listening him play." The guy beside her replied.

Oh, so this is what it is about.

I sighed and looked up. "I'm sorry."

"OK." He said, and then he smirked.

"Huh?! Whaa…?!" I blushed. "You only wanted to make me feel bad about it?"

"Yup. It's good for you once in a while."

"Haa?! That doesn't make any scene…"

He patted my head and then smiled.

"It makes to me. Anyways…" He turned to Utau and the other two. " I still can't believe you were eavesdropping."

"What's the big deal? People do it all the time." I said.

"Well I don't like it, not when I'm playing and defetly not when I know they're doing it because they expect something to happen." He glared at them and they laughed nervously.

"Huh? I don't get it at all."

"W-well anyways." Utau jumped to my side and then said almost singing: "Let me introduce you to them. The guy over there with the messy hair and sporty style is Kukai."

"Yo!" Kukai winked and then smiled showing his teath.

"The little one over there is Yaya."

"Pleasure." Yaya had a small voice and big eyes. Heh cute.

"And last but not least…"

"I am Sanjo Kairi." The guy that previously sat by my side was now politely bowing in front of me.

"Hu… P-pleasure." I bowed too.

"We still have to fix that awkwardness of yours, and it feels more awkward without your glasses." He cleaned his throat and slightly blushed while going back to his seat and drinking his tea. Utau chuckled. "Well, we're missing two people here."

An awkward silence had his way into our conversation. They all looked at each other.

"What…?" I asked.

"Nothing really." Utau said sighing.

"She's at it again isn't she?" Kukai asked.

"Probably."

"What can we do? Yaya is afraid something bad may happen again." Yaya started in a cry. Sanjo-kun went to her side and pated gently her head.

"Nothing will happen. Nagi's with her... probably?"

What the heck is happening? I glanced at Ikuto, he was staring at me. I glared at him –trying my best not to blush.

"It's getting late." He said. "I'm taking her home."

"Aww so soon?" Yaya said.

"S-sorry." I tried to smile.

"Man, time sure goes by fast. Come now shorty." Kukai patted Yaya's head. "I need to take you home too. You guys comin'?" He looked over his shoulder to Utau and Sanjo.

"Wha... we were supposed to do homework!" Utau said angrily.

"Oh right. I had forgotten." Kukai scratched the back his head, embarrassed.

"I can take her home, Soma-kun." Sanjo interfered.

"Thanks. Hey, didn't I told you to not address to me so formally?"

Sanjo sighed and then him and Yaya left. Utau and Kukai went to study in the living room and Ikuto took me home.

"So?... Any thoughts?" He asked casually.

"Hum... many… too much to process." He chuckled. "First: You're friends are quite…"

"crazy?"

"Fun." I said.

"Really? I got the feeling that you were a little bit embarrassed by them."

"That's not it. I'm just not very used to that kind of environment."

"Right."

Should I ask about that weird moment? What happened to those two anyways? I looked at Ikuto. Guess not. Right now, I won't ask.

"Oh right." I started." How come you're that boy?"

Ikuto stared at me with one eyebrow lifted.

"Still doubting?"

"Not…exactly. More like… adapting, I guess. You were waaaay cutter back then. What happened to the cute little Ikuto?"

"Hmm…?" He smirked. "What do you mean? What to hold hands like before?" What a surprise attack. I blushed hard.

"Th-there's no need!" I faced to other way. He chuckled.

He's so not the Ikuto I met before. He's rude, and a pervert. Not kind at all. Then I glanced at Ikuto, something had strike me.

"Ikuto…" I took his hand "I remember." He looked at me with those amazingly beautiful eyes. We stopped walking. "You were looking for them that day weren't you? You were looking for your parents."

After a while he answered: "Yes." In a whisper that only I could hear.

"I…'m sorry."

He pulled a kind smile. "For what?" He asked.

"Because… That day, was so nice to me."

"Haha... that day you were attacked by a dog and almost fell off a bridge. How could that have been any nice?"

"You saved me twice. And showed me such a beautiful melody, besides…" blushed. "I…I…felt comfortable when you held my hand, it was so warm, and your touch was so kind. How could I ever realize that you were so desperately searching for your parents?"

He kissed my forehead.

"Whaa… What was that for?!"

"Amu…" he showed me that perfect smile that always made my mind go blank. "Thank you."

"W-why?" I wasn't even thinking anymore. I only asked that out of instinct.

"Because. Now," I was still holding his hand, which I realized when he gripped it. "Let's go."

"Wha-wha…let go!" I screamed embarrassed, my cheeks were so hot.

"What? You were the one who grabbed my hand." He said innocently.

"D-don't play dumb on my stupid Ikuto! Let go!"

"Haha…Don't wanna."

"Why you…" He lifted the arm and lowed his head to kiss my hand. My mind was all blank again.

"Are you sure you want me to let go? Princess?" He smirked.

This guy... He is IMPOSSIBLE! How can he enjoy so much making fun of me? I really…

"I hate you!" I said furious. First he blinked a few time –shocked- then, he laughed , probably because I was blushing really hard. "What? Stop it!" I cried.

"Sorry, sorry but" He smiled again. "even if you say you hate me your face turns you down right away, so I know you actually mean the opposite."

"What? D-don't speak non-sence. I really do ha—" He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead –again. "aaaa…"

"Fufu… see? You're face is bright red, Amu." He said with a kind smile.

"Tha-that's only because you are doing such embarrassing stuff."

He laughed and gripped my hand again.

So warm… I guess he really is him. Being with him again… He somehow manages to light my world…

"Thank you." I said without thinking. I cover my mouth right away. He looked at me confused.

"Why?"

"Erm...Well... No reason, really…" he stared at me. "Actually, thank you, for playing the violin to me."
Sigh... what a relief, I managed t find an acceptable excuse… well I am grateful…

"Hmf…anytime." He smiled and a moment later he said in a hurry. "Well not ANY time; it may e that I'm not felling kind."

My eyes went wide-open. He was slightly blushing; I could see it under the moonlight.

"Pff…hahahahaha" I bursted into laugh and he blushed harder.

"W-what?"

"I think I saw little Ikuto again." I said smiling. He looked up and ahead.

"Good for you, because that won't…" He stopped walking and I could feel his body stiffen. He grabbed my hand tighter, like he didn't want me to get away.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Amu."

Ikuto hadn't call for me. It was definitely not him, but I was also familiar with that other person. I knew who it was even without looking at him. A voice that I never wanted to hear again. A face that I never wanted to see again. I slowly lifted my look, my memory hadn't fail me. Of course I knew who it was.

"Tadase."

This time, it was no mistake. It was him.

Sooo? How was it? And it keeps getting better xD! Please review\Comment!
