Hello minna!

So I have a sunburnt again. And I have a headache great.

But I'm still really hyper anyway.

I think it was because the sun went to my head.

Well enjoy this chapter!

I have never been in such an awkward situation ever before. The silence is completely unbearable. I feel like I am practically suffocating. It's all because Ikuto and Tadase are in the same room as each other, and also, we'll be looking for props together. It's Wednesday, the day of my recording of the song, 'I didn't steal your boyfriend.' When Ikuto and I arrived at Easter they told us that they had forgotten some things so they were making us do it. I didn't mind at first, because it was only me and Ikuto, but when they suggested Tadase come with us, that was a whole different story. He had to come because he was an extra in it. I haven't got anything against Tadase. It's just when the two are together it's like another world war is going to start. I'll tell you, it's not pretty.

They're annoying me with their moaning and grumpiness. I know they both hate each other, for a reason I don't know, but couldn't they loathe discreetly. Just not so I get freaked out or feel uncomfortable. Especially as I am sitting in between them. They are glaring at each other like daggers as I shuddered. Seriously, can't they just stop? I really couldn't take it anymore. We've only been on this bus for 5 minutes and I am already at my wits end. I've had enough. At least we are nearly at our destination. Just one more stop and I can get off. I'll be glad when I do. I slouched in my chair trying to block out that hateful aura. God, don't they know that it's bothering me? I bet they're really unaware of this. They have no idea at all. The bus stopped at where we had to get off as I stood up and hastily ran out of the bus. Ikuto looked at me surprised as he followed me with a snarling Tadase behind him. He looked nowhere near happy. The bus drove off as I sighed. Even being off that bus the tension is still there. Tadase made a cursing sound.

"Shit, I forgot my bag," he cursed gritting his teeth.

The bus was already long gone. Ikuto snickered as Tadase looked at him narrowing his eyes.

"What are you laughing about?" Tadase glared.

Ikuto shrugged, he seemed to find Tadase's troubles amusing. He walked to me looking at me with a rather half amused half annoyed look. Is that even possible? Well in his case it did. He grabbed my hand as he pulled me towards the store that we had to get the props. I realised that it wasn't props that we needed to get but clothes. They were being a little unprofessional this time, clothes were very important in a music video. Maybe they wanted me and Ikuto to decide what to wear on our own. It was a quite good idea; because I'd rather wear what I wanted than let someone buy something for me that I didn't like. Tadase looked at our entwined hands as he strode forwards and cut through us making us both let go. I don't even know why I was holding hands with him anyway. So I didn't care. Much. We walked into the shop Tadase looking one way and Ikuto the other. I feel like I'm choking on intoxicating air. God, someone please clear it! Ikuto stopped as he turned around and looked at Tadase.

"Tadagay, can you go look for something, thanks."

He was obviously trying to get rid of him. Tadase raised his eyebrows realising that was what Ikuto intended on doing. He wasn't going to let him succeed. He didn't move a muscle but he was brimming with anger.

"Why don't you go 'look for something'?" Tadase snapped.

They were in full fight mode now. Before it was just simple scary glaring, but now they had moved on talking to each other venomously. I couldn't wait until we were out of here.

"You're the extra. You go," Ikuto said bluntly.

Right that's it.

"Shut up!" I yelled as they looked at me with shocked looks on their faces.

Serves them right, it was like they had completely forgotten my existence because of their petty disputes. What a bunch of idiots. I thought it was only Ikuto but now Tadase. The world has officially turned upside down. Tadase's expression calmed down and softened as his eyes became gentler.

"I'm sorry, Hinamori-san. I'm going to go over there," he said pointing to nowhere in particular.

Ikuto watched him go a smug look planted on his face. He looked so proud of himself, probably because he got rid of him, for now.

"Finally I was wondering when that Kiddy King would give in," he snickered.

I glared at him, seriously, how immature. It was so annoying; they should really learn to stop that. I slapped my forehead, of course they wouldn't. I walked away from Ikuto not wanting to hear anymore from him or Tadase. I have such a headache because of them; if I could I'd go home. But unfortunately, that's a luxury that I don't have. Today at least. Ikuto laughed, he could probably tell that I was mighty pissed. He grabbed me from behind wrapping his arms loosely by my neck. I stopped immediately. He's a bit close. He's way too close. Gahh, I'm having a spaz (inside my head of course) but please spare me the torture. He probably noticing my utter embarrassment and being freaked out from the blush that was spreading through my face. He smirked and leaned onto to me lowering his head down to whisper in my ear.

"You sure are acting weird."

I jumped the sensation of his breath in my ear too hard to bear. He smirked again obviously enjoying my embarrassment. But for what reason was I acting like this? Don't tell me...no, that's utterly stupid. Don't even think of thinking that. But still I didn't like the thought that Ikuto had noticed either.

"I am not!" I screamed at him as he covered his ears dramatically.

"Oh god my ears! You've deafened my ears!" he joked theatrically as I ran over to him hitting him with the closest thing I could find, which was a hanger.

He tried to shield my hits with his hands but couldn't stop laughing. He was so carefree, and a bit of a teaser. But I guess that was one of his lists of good points. But I'm sure that his bad points are much longer.

"Stay still so I can hit you!" I exclaimed finding myself giggling as well.

Too any shop clerk or customer they would think that we were a pair of giggling idiots. Which we were, nonetheless. But it had destroyed the awful mood that was in the air before from Ikuto and Tadase. So I felt much more relaxed than before. Even if I was chasing Ikuto and trying to hit him. Ikuto ducked a hit as he charged away from me. I followed him still spouting nonsense like, 'Get back here!' at him. Though he did not stop. He wasn't actually looking where he was going. He ran into a closet as I ran after him. There was nowhere else to run, it was a dead end. VICTORY! Ikuto laughed awkwardly already noticing that he couldn't escape.

"Let's call it a truce?" he suggested.

I shook my head as he pouted. A creek came from behind me as the light disappeared from my eyes. Uh oh. I span around towards the door, no light was emitting and it was completely shut. I gasped, oh god, was this I thought it was? Ikuto walked up to it as he tried to open it. No such luck. He banged against it. Didn't work. I put my hands up to my mouth the truth revealing itself. No. No!

"We're locked in!" I cried.

He looked at me, a look that said, and 'are you stupid?' He sat down and pressed his back against it. He didn't seem very bothered. But on the other hand, I was freaking out.

"We're never going to get out of here; we're going to stay in here...and...and rot!"

Ikuto snickered, he thought that was funny? I bet he thinks this situation is a real laugh. Well I don't. Not one bit. I feel claustrophobic in here, and if I don't get out, it will only get worse.

"Calm down, we'll get out of here," he reassured me.

Right. That's what they all said, I bet. I took a deep breath. He was right; I really needed to calm down. Everything would be all right. It will be alright. At least there's a plus side, I'm not on my own, even if it is Ikuto. But I was dying to get out anyway.

"I don't like it in here! It's so dark!" I moaned.

Ikuto pulled me now and held me tight on my waist. Trying to move from his grasp would have been hopeless as he was gripping to me tight. I sighed was this his way of trying to comfort me? Well, I guess it's working, but only a little.

"Amu, I need to ask you a question, and you have to be as sincere as possible," he ordered.

I nodded, why wouldn't I be sincere? I looked at him questioningly. What could it be that could make him have such a serious face like that? I guess I was going to find out.

"Do you..."

The door opened as I jumped up in joy. Ikuto had let go and was now staring blankly into space. He had a confused and troubled expression. How did the door open? Was it just pure luck? For my case it was but for Ikuto it was far from it. We walked out of the room as I turned around to Ikuto.

"So what were you going to say?" I asked.

He shook his head and smiled, "Nothing. I was just wondering if you were still coming with me to Xmas Dance,"

I nodded even though I could tell that wasn't what Ikuto was trying to say. But I wasn't going to ask because soon everything would fall into place and I would discover what he has been hiding. The secrets of Ikuto to be unlocked, the book to be read. Pfft, sounds odd. I smiled, everything was best like this; I wanted it to stay the same. But you can't get everything you want. Tadase came over to us with two bags. He gave one to me and threw the other to Ikuto.

"They're the clothes you're going to wear. You were taking too long so I decided to get them for you. As we need to go, like now," Tadase said as he shot Ikuto a quick look.

I couldn't tell what it meant, but I knew Ikuto could. I looked in my bag seeing that the clothes Tadase had picked were rather good. I walked up to him a huge grin on my face.

"I really like these, you made a good choice," I complimented him.

He smiled back seeming to be glad. I really couldn't understand why Ikuto hated him, Tadase was so nice. But if it wasn't about personalities, then it was something about the past. That was one thing I was right about. Tadase looked at me a hopeful look on his face.

"Hinamori-san, can I please call you Amu. I feel really strange calling you that now," he requested.

I nodded a little shocked that he had asked that. He smiled again.

"What made you want to call me Amu?" I asked.

Tadase shrugged, "Something's changed, that's all,"

When he said this he seemed down but there was a hint of hope. Even if it was terribly small. Ikuto looked with a blank face, but his eyes were different, they were full with jealousy. He put his hands in his pockets and looked away from Tadase and me and down to the floor. He didn't want to look. It wasn't just Tadase that had changed but Ikuto well. They had both changed in the same way. His face was retorted in a snarl. He seemed to not like the idea of Tadase calling me Amu. I looked at him; though he was unaware I was watching. If only I had the key to his heart, then I'd be able to know exactly what he was thinking. But the question is do I want to know? I shook my head, stop being so serious; it's bad for the brain. We walked out of the shop as I felt a huge drop of water splash on my forehead. I looked up as rain soaked me from head to foot. My phone suddenly rang as I picked it up immediately.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hello Amu-chan. It's Ran. I'm sorry but the music video has been postponed for today. So tell the others that they can go home, Ok?"

She hung up as I was left with the loud BEEP BEEP BEEP sound ringing in my ear. Now to tell the news. Ikuto and Tadase were looking at me wondering about the phone call.

"We can go home. The music video has been postponed," I told them.

Tadase sighed seeming to be annoyed at this. It was now raining heavily now, so I was kind of glad that we were going home. Ikuto turned around as I remembered that he had once told me that his house was the opposite direction to mine. He twisted his head and looked at me.

"See you tomorrow at school Amu," he then walked away his hair becoming saturated in the rain.

It might have just been me but he seemed a little depressed. I bet he would be as right as rain tomorrow. I turned around seeing an umbrella towering over my head. Tadase was holding it with a shy expression. I smiled as I held it and walked away from Ikuto.

Ikuto turned around and watched us go as he sighed.

"I wish I asked."
