Chapter 14

We All Have Bad Luck

Amu swallowed a huge lump in her throat as she stared wide eyed at Tadase. He was fiddling his fingers around, waiting for Amu's answer. Amu looked down at the ground then back up at him. Why was it that when she was about to tell him about her and Ikuto, he had to confess? But, she already knew the answer to his question and, he probably wasn't going to like it at all.

"Tadase..." Amu began, looking him straight in the eyes. "Thank you for confessing but... the truth is that I don't love you... I'm sorry but you see, I pulled you out here to tell you that, me and Ikuto are dating."

Amu watched his expression. It started out as a frown but then turned into anger. She never seen such a look of hatred coming from Tadase before. It was kinda scary... She could tell he didn't know what to say so, she said something to break the akward silence.

"Y-You okay?" Amu asked in a studder.

What kind of question was that?

She watched as Tadase clintched his fist together, while narrowing his eyes down to the ground. Before Amu could say anything, he ran away in a quick second. Amu blinked, now looking at the empty spot that Tdaase was standing in. She turned her head and watched him run away. She kinda felt bad for braking his heart. She knew how bad it felt being heart broken...

Amu sighed before walking back into the Royal Garden. She narrowed her eyes up to see Kukai threatning to eat the last brownie and Yaya begging for him not to and Nadeshiko still drinking tea. Dang, she sure does drink alot of tea... Amu walked up to them slowly, making them all stop what they were doing. Amu blinked and looked up to find all eyes on her. She jumped a little suprised at first but then looked over at Nadeshiko who was eyeing her.

Amu frowned and shook her head, signaling Nadeshiko that he took it bad. Nadeshiko sighed before looking over at Kukai and Yaya.

"Kukai, Yaya, if you two want you can leave" Nadeshiko said, making Yaya stop her squelling and look up at Amu. She blinked.

"Is everything okay?" Yaya asked, making Amu turn to look at her. Amu shook her head.

"Tadase didn't take it good" Amu replied, making Yaya stand up from her seat quickly, knwoing exactly what Amu was talking about. Kukai on the other hand sat there dumbfounded.

"What about Tadase?" Kukai asked, stuffing the brownie in his mouth.

"That me and Ikuto are dating" Amu replied, a small blush appearing on her face at Kukai's reaction.

"HOLY SHIT! REALLY?!"

"Ugh! Kukai leave!" Yaya ordered, pointing at the door, glaring at Kukai.

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"How about you both leave" Nadeshiko butted in, making them both sigh in aggervation, picking up their bags and walking out, both talking about how Nadeshiko is rude. Nadeshiko sighed before facing Amu again. "The best thing to do Amu is to not worry about it. Tadase is gonna have to learn that not everyone gets what they want. If you love Ikuto, you love Ikuto. You can't do nothing about that and he can't either" Nadeshiko said, making Amu nod and smile at her.

"Thanks for the wise words Nadeshiko!" Amu exclaimed with a bright smile. Nadeshiko was probably Amu's closest friend, besides Yaya, so they understodd each other pretty good. Nadeshiko nodded before picking up her bag.

"See you later Amu" Nadeshiko replied with a wave before walking out the Royal Garden. Amu smiled to herself before picking up her bag and walking out herself. She started making her way home but was a little suprised to find Ikuto leaning up against a tree outside of her school. She blinked in suprise but walked up to him with a smile.

"What are you doing out here Ikuto?" Amu asked, making him smile at her.

"I can't come pick you up? Besides, I thought we would go walking around town today. Like a date" Ikuto explained, making Amu blush a little but smile. Her and Ikuto were going on a date! That sounds fun! Amu looked up at him and smiled brightly while grabbing onto his hand.

"Okay! Let's go!" Amu squeked joyfully, dragging Ikuto down the sidewalk to town square.

They reached town after ten minutes of walking, and they both smiled at the smell of freshly baked cake. Amu looked up at Ikuto, using the best pleading smile she could, trying to get Ikuto to buy her some cake. Ikuto narrowed his eyes down at the begging pinkett. She looked just like a puppy. Ikuto chuckled before nodding, walking over to the stand where the cake was at. Amu stood beside him and watched as he bought two pieces of chocolate cake.

Amu smiled brightly when Ikuto handed her one of the pieces of cake, him taking the other piece out for himself. Amu grinned like a child and took a bite out of her cake. When she swallowed, it seemed like her heart melted, it was so delicious. Ikuto on the other hand just ate his casually.

"That was good!" Amu squeked, after taking the last bite of her cake. Ikuto smiled at her before narrowing his eyes around, trying to find an intersting, sounding shop. He couldn't find any. He sighed before looking back down at Amu.

"Wanna go home or do you wanna keep looking around?" Ikuto asked, making Amu think for a few minutes, tapping her chin with her index finger. She then narowed her eyes up to his.

"We can go home. I wanna try to get home before mom does anyways" Amu exclaimed. Ikuto nodded before grabbing hold of her hand and leaving town square, heading towards the direction to her house. The walk home was kind of silent so, Amu decided to brake the silence.

"Thanks for buying me the cake" Amu said, looking up at Ikuto who shrugged.

"It wasn't that much but your welcome" he replied. Amu smiled before looking up ahead of her. She nearly gasped when she saw tadase sitting down on a bench infront of her house. What was he doing at her house? How long was he sitting here? Amu gulped when Tadase looked over at her but then his eyes narrowed up to Ikuto. Tadase then stood up, pointing a finger at Ikuto.

"You! What are you doing at Amu's house?!" Tadase asked angerily, making Ikuto yawn and eye the blonde boy.

"I should ask you the same question" Ikuto replied casually, making Tadase frown.

"I asked you first!" Tadase yelled, making Ikuto chuckle at him.

"I live here with Amu... Is that the answer you wanted?" Ikuto asked, watching Tadase nearly gasp at what he just said. Tadase then looked over at Amu who was trying her best to stay out of it. Tadase swallowed a lump in his throat and began to speak.

"Amu... I-Is that t-true?" Tadase studdered, eyeing Amu who nodded, fiddling her fingers around. Tadase frowned, looking down at the ground. It was quite for a few minutes... So finally, Tadase looked back up at Ikuto.

"Take care of her..."

Amu's eyes widened as both her and Ikuto looked up at Tadase. "W-What?" Amu managed to ask while Ikuto was a little shocked himself. He was waiting for Tadase to want to fight but, he wasn't expecting this... Tadase swallowed before replying.

"Take good care of Amu... " Tadase said again.

Amu smiled brightly as Tadase looked over at her, a small smile on his face. He nodded at her before turning on his heel and walking away. Amu watched him walk away, a small smile on her face. So, Tadase did kinda understand.

"Wow... Was that really Tadase?" Ikuto asked, making Amu giggle. Ikuto smiled at her before looking up at the sky. "Amu..." Ikuto began, making Amu look at him.

"Yea Ikuto?"

"Thanks..." Ikuto said, making Amu look at him a bit curiously. Ikuto smiled at her. "Thanks for letting me stay with you."

Amu smiled at him brightly. "No problem!"

"IKUTO!"

Amu and Ikuto both jolted around at where the voice was coming from. Amu blinked a little suprised while Ikuto eyed the blonde girl. He then sighed.

"Utau, what are you doing here?"

"Ikuto! Why are you hanging out with her?!" Utau asked bitterly, walking up to him, while glaring over at Amu. "You don't need to be hanging out with her! If father found out you've been hanging out with her then she'll-"

"That won't happen Utau!" Ikuto interrupted her, a bit of anger showing on his features. Amu eyed him. What was Utau talking about? What was she about to say? Utau sighed a little before glaring at Amu.

"What's so great about her anyways? Why do you like her so much?" Utau asked, narrowing her gaze up and down at Amu, trying to figure out what was so great.

"She understands me... Something that mom and dad can't do" Ikuto replied, making Utau look up at him in a little bit of shock. She then sighed looking down at the ground.

"Ikuto... Father is looking for you. He told mom the other day that he saw you and Amu at the mall" Utau explained, making both Ikuto and Amu look at her. "And he also said that you will be coming home soon but, I didn't know what he ment by that" Utau added, looking up at Ikuto. "That's why I came here. To tell you to be carful. I knew you would be here because when father said you were with someone with pink hair, I knew exactly who that was" Utau said, flashing Amu a glare.

"I'm just worried about you Ikuto and I don't like you hanging out with her!" Utau began, pointing a finger at Amu who took a step back. Ikuto sighed before grabbing Utau's hand, pulling it down.

"Utau, you need to be worried about yourself. Why are you still living there?" Ikuto asked, making Utau narrow her eyes down at the ground.

"Because of mom... I can't just leave her with that bitter guy" Utau explained, making Ikuto sigh. He knew what she ment. But, mom would not leave that mans side. He had no clue why either.

Utau then sighed, before looking back at Amu. "I won't lose!" Utau began, making Amu eye her. With that, Utau turned on her heel and walked away. Ikuto sighed before looking back down at Amu.

"Sorry about that Amu."

"It's okay" Amu replied, looking up at Ikuto. She then narrowed her eyes to the ground. "Ikuto... You'll be okay, right?"

Ikuto looked down at Amu and smiled, cupping her cheeks, pulling her closer to him. "I'll be fine Amu" he replied. He was about to kiss her but, Amu's cell phone started ringing. Amu giggled as Ikuto sighed, letting her go. Amu pulled out her cell phone and flipped it open.

"Hello?"

"Amu! D-D-Do you have time to t-t-talk?"

Amu blinked at first at the person crying on the other line. "Who is this?"

"I-It's Yaya... M-My mom just found o-out about the b-baby and she's k-kicking me o-out... Amu I have nowhere to g-go!"

Amu frowned. Jeez... Yaya's mom always seemed so nice... She guesses she was wrong.

"I'm on my way" Amu replied before shutting her phone. She then looked over at Ikuto who blinked. "I gotta go help Yaya, wanna come?"

Ikuto nodded, making Amu smile. They both made there way down the street and to Yaya's house. On the way Amu got scared to death by a dog poping out of nowhere, a car splashed Ikuto, and they both got lost twice until finally arriving at her house. Amu looked to find Yaya sitting on the ground with two suitcases beside her, full of all of her belongings. Jeez, her mom was quick to kick her out.

"Yaya" Amu said, making Yaya look up at her. She got up off the ground slowly and smiled.

"Thanks for coming Amu and you to Ikuto" Yaya managed to say through tears. Ikuto nodded. Amu looked at her suitcases then back up at Yaya.

"Where are you going to stay?" Amu asked, making Yaya shrug.

"I don't know. I asked Nadeshiko but she said that she didn't have enough room in her house" Yaya replied. Amu sat there and thought about the time of her spending the night there. She shivered at that thought.

"You wouldn't want to stay there anyways, I didn't even last a day" Amu replied, making Yaya giggle.

"What about soccor freak?" Ikuto asked, making them both look over at him.

"Hell no! I don't trust him taking care of Yaya!" Amu replied bitterly, making Ikuto chuckle. "I would let you live with me but, Ikuto is alot of work to take care of" Amu joked, grinning over at Ikuto who frowned back at her.

"I could live on the streets I guess..."

"NO!" Amu yelled back at her.

"Just let her stay with the soccor freak. She's already pregnant. What's the worst that could happen?" Ikuto asked, making Amu blink. He had a point... Amu sighed then looked at Yaya.

"Come on!" Amu said, pulling Yaya along while Ikuto carried the two suitcases. They made there way to Kukai's house.

"I don't think I wanna stay here" Yaya began, standing outside of his house. Amu shrugged before banging on the door. She grabbed the two suitcases from Ikuto and waited. They all looked when the door opened and Kukai stood there in his boxers.

Ikuto started to laugh while Amu eyed him and Yaya blushed.

"I-its okay Amu! The streets are fine with me!" Yaya began, making Amu glare at her before throwing her suitcases at Kukai.

"Yaya got kicked out because her mom found at she was pregnant. She has no place to stay. The reason she got kicked out is because of you so, your taking care of her. She's all yours" Amu stated, shoving Yaya at Kukai. Kukai blinked a little suprised at first but grinned.

"O-Okay?" he said, making Yaya stare wide eyed at Amu. Ikuto chuckled until looking over. His eyes widened when he saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road.

"K-Kazoumi?" Ikuto whispered to hisself. Amu looked over at him a little confused.

"Ikuto? You okay?"

"U-Um, hey guys! W-We should all play a g-game or something" Ikuto studdered, pushing Amu into Kukai's house. They all walked inside a little confused while Amu eyed Ikuto. He then looked down at Amu worried. "Kazoumi's here..."

"I guess I should go get a shirt on... Here Yaya I'll show you your room. My parents and brothers won't be here for a couple of days so It'll just be us" Kukai said with a bright smile leading Yaya upstaires. Amu then looked at Ikuto.

"How do you know he's here?" Amu asked suspicioulsy. Ikuto then pointed out the window.

"That car is his... I don't think he saw us though but if we leave, he might will" Ikuto replied. Amu started to worry. She didn't want Kazoumi to find Ikuto so, there was only one thing to do, which kinda sucked... Kukai and Yaya came back downstaires as Amu looked up at him.

"Hey Kukai? Do you mind if me and Ikuto stay for the night?"

Kukai grinned happily.

"Sure!"

That was kinda a long chapter! Soooo did y'all like it? What will happen next? A sleepover at Kukai's house? Did Kazoumi see them? Is Tadase really okay? Will Utau tell Kazoumi about where Ikuto is? Thanks for reading and please review! Next chapter will be out soon.
