Celebrity Punishment Chapter 10: The Hit Single, a shugo chara! fanfic

Hey everyone!

Next chapter up!

Hope you like it!

Ikuto was sniggering in the background as I stared at the mobile in astonishment. He seemed to be amused, and in a way it was funny, but just not in front of the guy I am supposed to be 'stealing' away from her. It's really odd how she misunderstood that quickly. Maybe they are having relationship problems? I don't know, and I don't care either. I just want to make it clear to her and to the sniggering Ikuto that I never ever planned to steal him. Ever.

"Erm, you've got it wrong," I started before she interrupted me.

"Don't try to hide it, I know you like him. I've seen you around with him. So don't lie Hinamori Amu," She then hung up abruptly as a beep-beep sound came from the mobile.

I sighed as I threw Ikuto's phone at him. He caught it with one hand and grinned at me. I didn't like that grin, I knew what was coming before it even came out of his mouth. He heard every single word that Utau said, unfortunately.

"Huh, I didn't know you liked me," he teased.

I thought so, I knew he would say something this. If he didn't then he just wouldn't be Ikuto. I looked away from him folding my arms. This was all Utau's fault, thank you very much Utau, note the sarcasm here. He sat on my bed and looked at me.

"I don't, your girlfriend's misunderstanding the situation," I said as I looked at him.

He raised an eyebrow, like he didn't believe what I was saying. I stood up and walked away from my bed.

"I think you should go,"

"Why?"

Did he really need to know that? But the reason why he was here was to help me on my lyrics. Which so far I have no clue about. Oh. Maybe I do have a little idea. Just maybe.

"Because if you stay here any longer it will give her more of a reason to think that I'm stealing you,"

He shrugged like he didn't really care. I rolled my eyes and tried to pull him up. Shouldn't have even tried, he's kinda heavy. I gave up as he stood up himself and walked to the balcony. Was he not planning to leave then? I followed him as I watched him jump onto it with cat-like grace. He smirked at me as he jumped off again as I leaned over the ledge to see him land safely on two feet to the ground. Wasn't that kind of dangerous? He should really be resting that arm of his. He waved up at me, a quick concise wave as he disappeared from sight.

I yawned loudly as I stared at the ceiling; I didn't have that many ideas now until I'd have to give in the lyrics. But the good thing was that I had mostly written it all, I just had a bit left to write. It was a Friday evening, and it had been a few days since I had last seen Ikuto or Utau. The week had sped by and Ikuto hadn't come to school. I don't why he didn't come because he's not doing any concerts or anything music related. So he should have been there. But he wasn't, he probably skipped it. But my week had been pretty eventful. As we were now approaching December we had to make plans for our Christmas Dance. And what to wear, that was very important. Rima and I had planned to go shopping later in December for great dresses. I couldn't wait! I just hoped that Ikuto would come to this dance, I wonder if he's been to one before. I shrugged as I sat in bed looking at my black TV screen. I can't be bothered to go to sleep, I'm just not tired. I guess it's just of the feeling of giving my lyrics tomorrow and actually recording it. I never thought that I would do something like this, but when I was younger I had always dreamed. I took my TV control as I pressed the on button as it switched on to a random channel. Utau was on it talking to some guy who was asking her questions. It seemed she was being interviewed. I leaned back resting my head against my pillow.

"So Utau how is your relationship with Tsukiyomi Ikuto," the interviewer paused for effect, "We have heard recently that he had an accident and broke his arm. Do you know anything about this?"

Uh oh. Why of all things did that interviewer have to mention that? The camera moved to Utau who looked like she was going to rip something. I really hope my parents aren't watching this.

"Amu," she murmured but the small microphone on her clothing had picked up what she had said.

"Oh, do you mean the new singer, Hinamori Amu?"

He had to mention it, damn; I know where this will end. It's not going to look pretty.

"That boyfriend stealer!" she yelled standing up making the interviewer stand up with her.

She seemed like she was on fire, she had to let it off. I put the sound down as I waited for the next thing she was going to say. She walked up to the camera and pointed straight forward.

"If you are listening Amu, keep your hands off Ikuto. Or you'll regret it," she warned as she marched off the set.

The interviewer chuckled watching Utau go, "Wow, Hinamori Amu seems to be quite an interesting character from what Utau has said. We would love to have you on the show Amu," I switched of the TV and threw my pillow at it.

This was going way too far. Something had to be done. I knew exactly what to do. I laid my head back as my phone suddenly vibrated. I rolled over and picked it up placing it to my ear. I clicked it wondering who it was.

"Hello,"

"Yo Amu," Ikuto said snickering.

Damn, he had probably watched that whole thing. But he wouldn't just call for that, or maybe he would. Nah, he wouldn't.

"You watched Utau's little announcement?" I questioned.

I heard him chuckle. Yeah, that proved it. He had seen it. I rolled my eyes.

"I should thank her though, without her I wouldn't know what to write for my lyrics,"

I had to admit this, even if she had probably made everyone think of me badly. But still, she had helped in some way.

"You've finished your lyrics? What you write about?" he asked.

I smiled deviously, "That's a secret,"

"Well, I'll find out tomorrow won't I?"

He was going to be at Easter tomorrow? I didn't know that. I wonder if she was coming. I was right she was. Ikuto said that he was taking Utau along as well before going out for lunch, or something. A few minutes later after talking about school this week he hung up. Tomorrow was sure going to be interesting. I can't wait!

Next morning

I was in a lift in Easter with Ikuto beside me and Utau beside him. No one had talked since we met each other outside of Easter Headquarters. I don't even think Utau had acknowledged me. The lift felt much smaller than normal and for once I felt claustrophobic. I usually don't get like that in lifts, but this time was an exception. The lift stopped moving as we arrived at the floor to the recording studio. I stepped out with them both behind me as I saw Tadase. I smiled, thank god, someone I can talk to without feeling awkward. I waved at him as he waved back but then stopped halfway seeing Ikuto behind me. He narrowed his eyes as Ikuto stared at him menacingly back.

"Why's he here? Isn't he supposed to be injured?" he enquired looking at Ikuto's broken arm.

That's what I've been wondering. I nodded; I guess I didn't escape the awkwardness after all. Ikuto looked at Tadase smugly.

"Still gay Tadagay?" he said snidely.

I stared at Ikuto in shock. How could he say that? Tadase's face was retorted in a snarl.

"I am NOT gay. And I see you're still trying to keep that fake facade as usual,"

Facade? What did Tadase mean by that? Ikuto snorted ignoring him as he pushed me forward and nudged Tadase away as we strode into the recording studio. Yep, definitely not awkward. Ikuto stopped pushing me as he left me in the recording booth. He stepped out of it as he pointed to the earphones near me. I placed them on.

"Amu, you got your lyrics-nya?" Yoru asked as I nodded, "And you're background music?"

I nodded again as he smiled and started to play the music. I had stayed up for a while making this and writing the lyrics so hopefully it would all go well. Utau was watching me her arms crossed. She was standing further away from Ikuto who was standing near Yoru with headphones on. He signalled for Utau to come stand next to him and asked her to wear the headphones. She sighed and put them on; she didn't seem to want to be here. Yoru then started to do a countdown as I got ready to sing my heart out. 1, 2, 3. GO!

Boyfriend by Ashlee Simpson

Ha, Ha, Ha,
Ha, Ha, Ha,

Whatcha been doin'? Whatcha been doin?
Whoa, Whoa,
Haven't seen ya 'round,

How you been feelin'? How you been feelin'?
Whoa, whoa,
Don't you bring me down,

All that stuff about me,
Being with him,
Can't believe,
All the lies that you told,
Just to ease your own soul,
But I'm bigger than that,
No, you don't have my back,
No, No, HA

Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you face what's goin' on,
Cause you really got it wrong,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,

Well I'm sorry,
That he called me,
And that I answered the telephone,
Don't be worried,
I'm not with him,
And when I go out tonight,
I'm going home alone,
Just got back from my tour,
I'm a mess girl for sure,
All I want is some fun,
Guess that I'd better run,
Hollywood sucks you in,
But it won't spit me out,
Whoa Whoa, HA

Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you face what's going on?
Cause you really got it wrong,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you look at your own life,
Instead of looking into mine,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you're leaving me alone,
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend,

Whoa, whoa, whoa ha
Whoa, whoa, whoa ha

Please stop telling all your friends,
I'm getting sick of them,
Always staring at me like I took him from ya'

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha,
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha,
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend

I finished as I breathed in gasping for breath. That was really fun. I totally enjoyed it. I hoped it was good enough. I looked up and saw Yoru clapping as everybody in the studio did the same. Except for Utau and Ikuto. Utau looked completely speechless and her mouth was as wide as it could ever go. Ikuto on the other hand looked a little displeased. I didn't know the reason, but I knew from the look in his eyes. It was what I was feeling and it came from my heart. So there's nothing wrong about it. I did my best, but even so I just don't like that look.

"Amazing Amu. I think you've got yourself a hit single-nya!" Yoru said hugging me.

I took off my head phones and looked at Utau she looked a bit apologetic.

"Sorry," she mumbled as she walked out.

Ikuto didn't follow her but instead looked at me with a stare that I couldn't look away from. I walked up to him and titled my head.

"I guess you cleared the misunderstanding," he said as he followed Utau out.
