The Meikyuu Butterfly
Chapter Seven: No Need
Normal POV
Amu anxiously strode into her house, gently closed the door, and slid down against it, holding her flushed, rouge cheeks. Her bright amber eyes zoned out until she abruptly squealed.
Suddenly, the smooth, wooden tiles of the floor creaked and pulled Amu out of her little it's-great-to-be-an-enamored-high-school-girl moment.
She gradually rose from her position and whispered to herself. "Shit, I might not have been home alone…" Amu snuck down the corridor and peered into her lovely living room. Her family spontaneously appeared behind her with glints in their eyes. Her mother lightly placed her hand on Amu's thin shoulder. "Hehe, Amu-chan~."
She yelped at the spur of the moment and promptly covered her mouth as she spotted her sly family. Amu immediately crossed her arms and kept an uptight expression on. "What?"
Pairs of large, round golden eyes ran through her family. Her younger sister Ami had a head full of light copper blonde hair tied into two pigtails with aqua ribbons. Her personality was extremely close to Yaya's. She grinned goofily. "Onee-chan kissed a blue-haired prince!"
"Kyaa! Yatta! ~ You finally have a boyfriend~." Her mom Midori paused and gave an enthusiastic thumbs up. "GOOD JOB!" With that comment, Midori embraced Amu and kept squealing. She had ash chestnut hair that was tied into a ponytail. Her personality was very giddy and outgoing.
Amu nudged her off. "Say whatever you want." She habitually flipped her hair.
Ami and her mom paused for a moment, then they suddenly hugged each other with gleaming stars in their eyes. "Kakkoii!"
Her dad Tsumugu had dark chestnut hair that was spiked up. His personality took on that of a typical overprotective father. His hands were balled into fists and under his chin as he cried waterfalls. "What? You can't have a boyfriend! You're too young! I'm not going to let those wolves eat my precious sparrow!" He held a fist of resolution for a few seconds, then burst into tears again and rushed up the stairs.
Midori called out to her husband as she trailed behind him upstairs. "Darlingg~."
"Daddy, I'm still here~!" yelled Ami as she followed her mother.
Amu sweat dropped, then she ran her slender fingers through her smooth pink locks. "How can they be so energetic at this time?"
She admired her bracelet from Ikuto and smiled with a small sigh.
Next Day
Amu ambled out of her room, down the stairs, and at the door in a white long sleeve shirt, a knit, ebony vest on top, a cherry plaid miniskirt, and a pair of onyx leggings. Her lustrous, carnation pink hair was styled into medium-sized curls, and her bangs were tied back with a hot pink, furry scrunchie. She frantically tried to slip on her gray ankle boots with a thin ribbon tied around the top. As soon as they were on, she tried to rush out the door. "Bye, Mom!"
Midori planted her hands on her hips and blocked Amu from the door. "You can't possibly step out in those clothes without freezing. It is winter you know." She helped Amu put on a tea rose overcoat with a glittery, black ribbon tied around the waist. Her mom wrapped an ivory, fluffy scarf around her neck, put matching mufflers on her ears, and put matching v-cable patterned gloves on Amu's hands.
As Amu opened the door in her new, adorable attire, she glanced back. "I could have done it myself, you know, but thanks, Mom."
Her mom beamed. "Have a good day, dear~."
Halfway To School
Amu nonchalantly strolled down the sidewalk as every man turned his head. Suddenly, a mysterious hand covered her mouth, and another hand dragged her into a deserted alley. Before she could react, Dark gazed into her glimmering amber orbs. "Did you really think that I wouldn't notice that you ditched me the other day? You think I didn't see you run off with another guy?"
He interlocked his hands with hers and pinned her against the wall. Amu did not respond, since she was too busy struggling and attempting to kick him in the… (A/N: As I hear people call it…) scrumdiliumcious.
Dark whispered into her ear with a husky voice. "I'll have to punish you." He unwrapped her scarf and left butterfly kisses all over her neck. Before he could stop, she kneed him in the stomach, but he only winced. "Nice try, Amu-chan, but you're not strong enough. Don't worry. I'm not mad. I like the feisty ones."
She shivered and shouted furiously. "Get the fck off of me already! You're freaking disgusting!" Amu kept trying to kick him as she closed her eyes. The sound of something thudding the ground made her open her eyes. She was free, and Dark was groaning on the cold asphalt.
Ikuto hooked Amu with his arm and planted his foot on Dark's back. "Keep your hands off of my toys, please~." He sinisterly grinned, then he clenched Amu's hand and swifty walked away until they were able to spot Seiyo High from far away. Ikuto released her hand and promptly turned around to face her. He parted her hair where Dark kissed with a remorseful expression. His head fell onto her neck as he draped his hands around her.
Amu shoved Ikuto away from her in frustration. "What the hell are you doing? You're so freaking cold. Are you human?"
He leered at her with a serious face. "Sorry, I couldn't save you earlier. I'll wipe his mark off of you." Ikuto grabbed the ends of her undone scarf and pulled her towards him. He heavily kissed her neck where Dark kissed as she flailed her arms around. When he finished, he wrapped the scarf around her and strolled ahead, smirking. "See you, Amu-chan~." He playfully waved back at her flustered face.
Amu stomped. "Hey, get back here, perv!"
Utau pushed her dramatically. "Onii-chan, wait up! I couldn't find you earlier. Don't ditch me~!" She glimpsed back and stuck her tongue out. "Watch where you're going, btch."
Amu got up and dusted her uniform off. "Geez, what a btch. At least I don't have a freaking brother complex." With that comment, she continued walking in the chilly, winter air.
Later At Lunch Before Hosting
Amu was at her locker with her host club uniform in a plastic bag.
Nadeshiko nimbly stole her bag and replaced it with another one. "Here's your new winter uniform for hosting~. You'll definitely bring in money with this, Miss Number One." She did her signature wink.
"Ehh, why? I liked my uniform," Amu complained.
"Well, no one wants to wear those outfits in the winter. Anyways, I'll see you at The Meikyuu Butterfly!"
Amu sighed.
Before the Meikyuu Butterfly
Lulu was in a tight, black dress with puffed sleeves that hugged her curves and emphasized her s line. A v-cable patterned, gray beanie was on her head, and she was wearing matching thigh high socks that were scrunched near her ankles. Lulu stunned everyone in the hallways with her shiny, ebony stilettos.
She stopped as soon as she spotted a certain blue haired boy, smiling to himself with his hands in his pockets. "What's with your disgusting smile? You get a boner this morning or something?"
Ikuto walked over and leaned in on her face. "Yep, you gave me a boner."
Lulu habitually gagged and held her mouth. "Gross, get the fck out of here!" She looked away and made a shooing motion with her hand.
He chuckled. "Just kidding. Why would it be you?"
Lulu was quick to give him a nice, hard slap on the back. "Haha, then tell me what's really going on."
"There's no need to continue the plan."
Her eyes widened, and she clenched Ikuto's shoulders. "HONKI NANO?" (A/N: Are you serious?). She's finally dating you? I'm free?"
He shook off her hands. "Saa dou kana?" (A/N: Who knows?). Ikuto strode off.
Lulu sprinted to The Meikyuu Butterfly and broke through the doors.
Nadeshiko, Yaya, and Rima looked up in surprise at the ecstatic Lulu.
"AMU'S DATING IKUTO! HE TOLD ME THAT THE SCHEME IS OVER!"
"So Amu finally listened to her teenage hormones, huh?" Rima casually remarked. Rima was in a layered dress with mauve tights and a pair of zip-up, gray boots that went up to the ball of her ankle. The boots had little, lacey ribbons on the sides. The dress that she was wearing on top was knit and pale pink. Its puffy sleeves stopped at her elbows and at the bottom of her torso. The silver dress underneath had tight, protruding sleeves, and it reached the middle of her thigh. A lace fringe was on the bottom of the second dress's sleeves and its bottom.
Nadeshiko sweat dropped. "You know, there's a more decent way to word that. Anyways, that's great! Amu and Ikuto are the cutest couple." She smiled casually. Nadeshiko was wearing a palatinate purple beret, a bunch of black pearl necklaces, a pale plum sweater dress with a turtleneck, a pair of black lace tights, and a pair of over the knee suede boots. The ebony boots had buckled straps on the heels.
"Yay! Way to go for Amu-chi~! Yaya's happy for her~!" Yaya was wearing a furry, knit cap that had pale aqua and white stripes and a white puffy ball on top. She flaunted a cornflower blue baby doll dress that reached the middle of her thighs and a knit, short-sleeved, navy blue jacket. She sauntered around in ivory tights and a pair of knee high, light blue boots.
Suddenly the door opened. "Ne, what are you guys talking about?" inquired Amu. She was wearing a black v-cable patterned beanie, a black shirt, a pair of gray shorts, and above the knee, ebony boots. Below her chest, her shirt flowed out with layers of sexy, sheer lace that stopped at her waist. A solid colored bow was tied below her waist near the top of her shorts, and the bottoms of her shorts were folded up with buttoned straps keeping it up.
Lulu, Nadeshiko, Rima, and Yaya beamed at each other, then they answered in sync. "Nothing much."
Next Day at Homeroom
Everyone was in their seats, and Nikaidou was ready to make an announcement at his podium.
"Everyone suggest and vote for a school event to do before the holidays," instructed Nikaidou as he passed out slips of paper to all of the students. "Actually vote for something fun. I'm just a teacher, but everyone has to go to this event. You're only going to screw it up for yourselves if you don't try."
Amu tapped her mouth with the tip of her pencil and pondered what to suggest. "Hmm, what to do, what to do…"
Nadeshiko and Rima flicked Amu to get her attention. "Wouldn't it be fun to do a Christmas dance or something?" Nadeshiko brightly smiled.
"Come on, Amu. It's the least boring thing to do," commented Rima with her usual stone expression.
'Well, there's my answer,' thought Amu as she nonchalantly scribbled down "Xmas ball."
