Gothic: No idea why this took so long…oh well, I'm gonna do better so enjoy and hopefully I'll have a new chapter by Sunday.
It was going to be a long night…
"And so the drama begins," Rima said, taking a sip of her drink.
"I was surprised to see he asked Saaya out though," Tadase said.
"It's to get back at Utau," Ikuto shrugged, making Amu frown.
"You could at least act like you care. She is your sister," She said.
"I'm neutral in this," Ikuto stole some of Utau's nachos that were left alone.
Utau came back over and sat down with a self-satisfied smirk.
Kukai, who came back over with Saaya, looked annoyed. You could feel the tension so Tadase said,
"So, um, who wants to go next?"
"Amu."
"Amu."
"Hinamori."
"Amu-Chi."
"Amu."
"Wh-What?" Amu stammered. "Wh-Why me?"
"It's been decided, Amu-Koi," Ikuto smirked.
"Don't call me that!" Amu blushed.
"Aw, why not?"
"Be-Because I don't like you-"
"Liar."
"Am not!"
"Yup."
"No I'm not!"
"Will you stop stalling and go," Utau rolled her eyes. These two were impossible sometimes.
"Fine! But he goes after me!" Amu pointed to Ikuto before stomping up to the stage. Right behind her was Utau, Rima, and Yaya, all three having grins on their faces. After she picked her song the boys saw the three whisper something to the DJ.
"What are they up to?" Kukai, despite himself, was curious.
They watched as Utau went up to Amu, whispering something in her ear, laughing as Amu's face went red.
"UTAU!" she screamed. Utau ignored her, grabbing the mic from her.
"Hey everyone, let's put it up for Hinamori Amu, whose gonna sing a song for her boyfriend."
The people cheered and "aw"ed at her.
Amu looked like she wanted to hit something. Utau winked at her before going back to the table to sit down.
"Utau-Chan, really?" Nagihiko shook his head.
"Hey, it was Rima and Yaya's idea. I just picked the song."
(Strawberry Kisses, Nikki Webster)
I've been missing wishing missing ya strawberry kisses

C'Mon

Oh-Oh

Yeh-Yeh
Her face was bright red already.
verse 1:
from the bottom of my heart boy
I've gotta tell you this
since the day we've been apart
you're the only one I miss
I'm like a tree with no roots
I just can't live without you, yeah yeah
Thought we were just a summer romance
nothing but a passing fling
Seemed my heart had other plans
now i'm a puppet on a string
Don't leave me dangling out there
boy can't you tell how much
I care still see the sunlight in your hair, oh, oh
chorus:
I've been missing
your stawberry kisses
cuz nothing's as sweett
he taste still drives me crazy
I've been wishingmy strawberry kisses
could fly through the wind
to you from me
verse2:
There's no question at all
boy, your tops on my list
I'm falling head over toes
at the thought of your lips
I know you're no Cyrano
can't write those pretty words to show
me how you feel deep inside - but oh-oh
chorus:
I've been missing your stawberry kisses
cuz nothing's as sweet
the taste still drives me crazy
I've been wishing my strawberry kisses
could fly through the wind to you from me
I know what I'll do
once I find you
you're gonna make me your girl your gonna be mine
even if I gotta search this whole world
chorus:
I've been missing
your stawberry kisses
cuz nothing's as sweet
the taste still drives me crazy
I've been wishing my strawberry kisses
could fly through the wind to you from me
By the time Amu finished the song her face was bright red and was glaring at Utau, Rima, and Yaya, who were laughing.
"I hate you guys," she said.
"Aw, you don't mean that Amu-Chi," Yaya grinned.
"Well, at least Ikuto goes next," Amu cheered up.
"Nope,"
"Huh? Why not, you said-"
"Actually, you said I had to go after you. I never agreed to it," Ikuto smirked.
"JERK!" Amu started hitting him on the head and pushed him off the bench.
"Ow-Fine," Ikuto rubbed his head.
"This should be interesting," Kukai smirked.
"Yeah," Tadase was hoping his enemy would just make a fool of him self.
"Don't be fooled guys, most of the girls here come for either Utau, or her brother." Josh had come over. Kukai when he saw how close he stood to Utau.
"Why? He's nothing a pervert," Amu muttered. Utau smirked.
"Don't be jealous Amu," she said.
"Why I would be jealous?"
"Shush, Ikuto's gonna sing." Everyone turned as Ikuto went up to the microphone.
He sent a smirk to Amu and began.
(All U Pretty Girls, Stereos)
All you pretty girls throw your numbers at me
All you pretty girls throw your numbers at me
I just wanna see what your working with, and maybe we can meet again after this now
Amu's mouth fell open.
'He picked that song?' she thought.
All you pretty girls throw your numbers at me
All you pretty girls throw your numbers at me
I just wanna see what your working with, and maybe we can meet again after this now
He jumped off the stage and walked over to a table with a group of girls that were starring at him dreamily.
Stop things wow, what's your name?
I bet you think all boys are the same
But I can do it better than them
And I'm feelin' that you know I do
The girls looked like they were about to faint. Amu looked like she wanted to hit something again.
Oh whoa oh-oh
Everybody else in here
Wanna get with you wanna make it clear
That they can be what you need
But I know what they ain't right for you
Oh whoa oh-oh And all I gotta hear you say
Is that you wanna roll with me
Then I'm get your digits and we'll see
All you pretty girls throw your numbers at me
All you pretty girls throw your numbers at me
I just wanna see what your working with, and maybe we can meet again after this now
Ikuto put the mike back on the stand and walked over.
"So?"
"Your really something Bro," Utau shook her head.
"Sure is," Josh agreed.
"What did you think Amu-Koi," Ikuto sat down next to her.
"I still think you're a jerk." she snapped.
"Why? Because I didn't sing a song about you?" he teased. When she didn't say anything he said, "Alright next time I will."
"Shut up!"
Everyone laughed.
"Hey Josh, when's your shift done?" Utau asked him.
"Uh," he checked his watch. "In ten minutes actually.""Great, then you have enough time to get me more nacho's since Ikuto ate them all."
Josh sighed. "When you're here I feel more like a slave then a waiter." he said darkly.
"People don't tip slaves an extra $15, remember that."
"So more coke and nacho's for my favourite customer," Josh's tone brightened. "You guys want anything else? It's on me."
"Wha- Are you sure?" Amu said, shocked.
"Yeah, your friends with Utau, and I wasn't kidding about the sunglasses being worth more then my pay checks," Josh said.
"I'll ask the manager to give you a raise," Utau said. "I'm surprised you haven't gotten one yet."
"Same. So what'll it be?"
"Fries."
"Nacho's."
"Ribs."
"Wings."
"Coke"
"And Kukai?" Josh asked him.
"I'm good."
"'Kay, be back soon."
When he left Nagihiko looked at Utau. "Extra $15? A raise?" he asked.
"He's helped me a over lot the years," Utau said. "And he's saving money to open his own restaurant."
"That's cool," Tadase said.
"Yup," Utau stood. "I'm gonna get some air, someone come get me when our orders are here."
Kukai watched as she walked to the door.
'Why does she have to be so friendly with him like that?' he thought. 'Wait, why should I care? She broke up with me'
"Kukai-Kun? Wanna dance?" Saaya tried to smile sexily but ended up looked like a sick cat.
"Uh, maybe later," he said. The only reason why he asked her out was because he was hoping to get his mind off of Utau and ended up running into her. He had a feeling Ikuto somehow planned it.
"I'm gonna go get Utau," he said when he saw Josh coming through the kitchen doors.
He found her leaning against the wall of the building, away from the people passing by, a cigarette in her hand.
"Since when do you smoke?" he said, eye brows raised.
"Since when do you care?" she countered, throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stepping on it.
"I've always cared about you Utau. You should know that." the words were out of his mouth before he could stop them.
A pained look crossed her face. "And you should know why I can't believe you." she said quietly.
Kukai ran his hand through his hair, sighing in frustration.
"I know. I was a jerk. We got in a fight and I hurt you and I hate myself for it-"
"Obviously not enough," Utau interrupted. "Your out with Saaya!"
"Because I was tired of thinking of you, I needed a distraction-" Kukai froze, realizing what he just said.
'Ah shit!' he thought.
"A distraction huh?" Utau was looking down, her bangs covering her eyes. "Why? Am I that annoying that even thinking about me bothers you?"
"NO! Utau, I didn't mean it like that-"
"Then what do you mean Kukai?" Utau looked up, confusion and hurt in her eyes. Kukai's never seen her this vulnerable before.
"I wonder what's taking Utau and Kukai so long," Amu wondered, looking worried.
"Maybe she killed him and is hiding the evidence right now," Rima said. Nagihiko sweat dropped.
"Um, I don't think so," he said. Rima only shrugged.
"You sure you won't get involved Ikuto?" Josh asked, who was sitting down with them. Yaya and Tadase went to dance (More like Yaya dragged him) and Saaya went off somewhere but no one really cared where. "Utau is your little sister."
Ikuto sighed. He took a bite of some nachos before answering.
"I didn't want them going out in the first place," He admitted. "Kukai was a playboy like I was-"
"Was?" Amu said, disbelief in her voice.
"Yes Amu-Koi, was. Anyway, I told them if something happens leave me out of it. Kukai's my best friend and Utau's my sister. They need to work things out on their own."
"That's…mature of you," Amu said, clearly surprised.
"No need to be so surprised," Ikuto said, insulted by the comment.
"Ikuto mature? There's a first," Kukai returned, his hands in his pockets.
"Thanks Kukai," Ikuto said dryly.
"No problem," he shrugged. He would sit down but if he did it meant that he had to sit beside Josh.
"Where's Utau?" Amu asked.
"She just had to go to the washroom," Kukai told her. He didn't add the fact that she wanted to try to get the smoke smell off her clothes.
"Did anything happen?" Rima asked. "I thought she'd killed you."
"Well, yeah actually," Kukai rubbed the back of his neck. "We've decided to get together tomorrow to talk about things."
"That's good," Nagihiko said. Honestly, for a second he thought Rima was right about Utau killing him.
"Yeah, I-" Before Kukai could finish, a familiar voice interrupted him.
"Kukai-Kun! There you are sweetie!" He turned at his name automatically. A pair of arms wrapped around his neck and a pair of lips crushed against his.
He pushed Saaya off of him and looked around frantically, hoping she didn't see.
But she did.
There, in the middle of the restaurant was Hoshina Utau, and she looked like she was about to kill.
'Shit'
Gothic: Doesn't that song just scream "Ikuto"?
DeeDee: Yup!
Gothic: Anyway, R&R and again sorry about the super late update
