Amu: Wow, you're in a good mood.

Ikuto: Mood swings, hmm. Is it that time?

ShellyCullen: WHAT?! NO! I'm gonna bring Kaya to kill you if you say that again.

Ikuto: Alright, alright. I'm sorry.

Chapter Five:

Paranoid

Tadase's POV

"Hey, how are you?" I asked into the phone. The answer came out breathless, like she had been running around all day.

"F-Fine Tadase-kun." She stated, taking gasps of air. I smiled.

"So, uh, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the beach today? Its great weather for swimming and the sun's still up so if you wanted to go?"

She paused. "What do you want, Tadase-kun?" I laughed nervously while rubbing the back of my head.

"Its just...my friends haven't offically met you yet, so I wanted you to come back with me. To Japan." I whispered while biting my lip.

She didn't speak again and I was getting anxious. I spoke again. "I-Its alright if you can't go. I only wanted you to meet them. And it would only be for a week or two or the summer." I started rambling on.

"Tadase-kun!" She said, silencing me. I waited. "I...don't know." She whispered and hung up.

Amu's POV

So, here I was stuck in this stupid house because of a stupid bet I agreed to with Ikuto. What was I doing now? Hiding.

I sat on the bathroom toilet, hoping to avoid Ikuto for two weeks. Which seemed almost impossible, and if we didn't do anything who KNOWS what punishment we'd receive.

But what could I do? If I can't avoid him or be more passionate in the way he thinks, he wins. And heck no am I going to be his slave for three months! A knock on the door made me jump and heart race. Who else would it be?

I walked up and opened it a crack to see Ikuto looking down at me, frowning.

"We're supposed to be together all day." He said casually. My cheeks heated up.

"Well, I have to use the bathroom! So, Shoo!" I yelled to him, closing the door all the way and locking it.

"If you don't come out soon, I'm dragging you out." He said and I could hear the smirk on his face. Blood was rushing to my head.

"Just give me a minute, okay?!" I yelled to the door, but there was no reply. Did he leave?!

I started biting the tip of my thumbnail and pacing around the room. The nasty habit I thought I grew out of had come back shortly after meeting Ikuto. I hated this.

But I NEEDED to win this bet! What was I going to do, if I were to seduce him?

Yesterday, after being rudely interrupted with my research for passion, I hadn't figured anything out. All they showed was something about pick up lines and types of kissing. That was NOT going to help me.

Ikuto said my idea of passion wouldn't work on him, or my friends for that matter. If that was the case, what am I to do?

AHH! I'm in deep shit! Great, now I'm swearing my head off! Damn this stupid bet!

I opened the door, sighing forgetting about the cat on the other side. He smirked as I came out, making my face feel like someone had thrown a match at me. This is pure torture I tell you! Who can save me?!

"Ready?" Ikuto asked as his smirk grew. A strange vibe ran through me as I felt like jumping out the window. Sadly, this was only the second floor so the jump wouldn't kill me.

"R-Ready for what?!" I stuttered, mentally smacking myself. God, I'm going to get it now! I closed my eyes, squeezing them tight as I locked my body so it was still. I waited for something to happen, anything his weird mind could have thought of. The seconds went by.

I opened my eyes as cloth was thrown onto my head. I took it off, questionably and stared at it. It was a bathing suit. A one piece that had black and pink stripes running through the whole thing diagonally. I looked at Ikuto, raising an eyebrow.

"You seem a bit tense. It isn't fun to tease you when you're expecting it. So why don't we go for a quick swim?"

He smiled lightly as me and I stared back wide eyed.

"Who are you and what did you do to Ikuto?" I asked. Why was he being so nice and pleasant about this?

"Its still me, I just happen to be in a good mood. Of course, if you don't want to swim we could always do other things." He gave me a wink as I flushed again. I raised a hand.

"To the pool!" I declared.

Ikuto's POV

Amu put on the swimsuit and I couldn't quite staring. Sure, she wasn't fully developed or anything, but she still looked real good. Plus, this was my first time seeing her in a bathing suit.

She was in the water, splashing around and laughing. It was really quiet, mostly because her charas would start cheering or something. But, of course, none of them were here.

I waited by the edge of the pool, standing in a bathing suit myself. That long haired girl actually didn't have bad tastes in guy clothes, surprisingly. The blue shorts fitting perfectly.

Amu turned to me and blushed again as she caught sight of my bare chest. She still couldn't get the fact that I wasn't wearing a shirt, even though she had seen my stomach so many times while I was transformed.

I smirked at the memory as she swam over to me. I squatted, looking down at her wet form.

"Why aren't you swimming?" She accused. I frowned.

"This is to help you, not me." I said. She didn't buy it.

"I don't care! Just get in the water!" She demanded whiled placing her hands on her hips. I smirked at her.

"Oh, didn't know you wanted me wet, Amu." I said as her face turned crimson.

"Y-You Pervert!" She screamed and splashed water at me.

"I'm not the pervert, you are. Your only thirteen and you actually know what wet means." I said and chuckled. She splashed some more water, but I was already out of the way.

"T-That's only because of you!" She stated, running out of the pool and glaring at me. Her figure was dripping wet, running down her creamy thighs. Whoa, I am a pervert.

She pointed to the pool with her index finger. "Get inside!" She said as I stood there, amused.

"Ah, that's okay. You already get a point of passion from me." I stated, still seeing water run down her body. She blinked.

"For what?" She asked, confused.

"Never mind." I stated, shaking my head. She still looked confused. Man, I have to remember how young she is. She's still so innocent.

"Well, that doesn't matter. You're getting in that pool!" She said determined and stomped towards me. I stood still, unafraid.

She started pushing me with her arms toward the pool, not even budging me I laughed.

"This is NOT the way to get me into the pool." I teased as she pushed harder. My back was wet from her hands.

"Well, what am I supposed to do?" She asked, giving up and looking at me. I leaned down towards her face, making her cheeks pink again.

"Guess." I whispered, staring into her golden colored eyes. Her mouth opened.

"PERVERT!" She yelled again and took a few steps back. I laughed.

"Wow, you thought THAT was bad?! Wait till you see what I have in store." She suddenly looked terrified as she continued to walk backwards. I sighed.

"I'll make you a deal." I said as she stopped. She came towards me, slowly.

"What?" She asked me, a few feet away.

"You show me how passionate you can be and I'll get in."

ShellyCullen: I liked this chapter! Went better than the last, I think. Hmm, Ikuto sounds like a child molester or something! Run away!

Ikuto: I am not!

ShellyCullen: Dude, your 17 and hitting on a 13 year old girl. How much lower can you get than that?

Amu: I agree! We should stop writing this story.

ShellyCullen: Hey, I didn't say THAT!

Amu: You were implying it.

ShellyCullen: That's it, you know what! I'm making the next chapter even worse. No dodging a bullet there.

Amu: NOOO! I'm calling in sick!

ShellyCullen: You can run, but you can't hide!
