"…Why can't you love me? Why?" – Tell Me Tell Me Baby [N'Sync]
One Month Later
Ikuto's P.O.V.:
I rolled over, glaring out my window…
Flashback:: After the Dance
"Ikuto! Ikuto! Guess what?!" Amu giggled loudly, almost tackling me.
Standing in front of my bike, I chuckled: "Careful… Or else we won't be able to…" A lump appeared in my throat the moment I glanced over my shoulder.
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto." His voice; I could practically taste the venom dripping off of it.
"Chibi King." I kept my face collected as I turned back to my bike, biting my lip to keep me from saying anything else.
"Anyways Ikuto… Could you let my mom know I'll be home a little later?" I gripped my helmet tighter as her question slipped past her lips.
"F-Fine!" I stammered, hiding it by sliding my helmet over my head.
Before she could say anything, like thanking me or something, I added: "Do whatever you want. I'll cover you like I always have done!"
I drove away quickly, mainly because I really didn't want to hear her response nor Tadase's sly grin.
Flashback Over::
"…Amu…" I let her name slip from my mouth.
I clenched my hands; Dammit! Why must so hard?!
"Ikuto! Didn't you hear me? Ms. Hinamori and Amu are here." My mother whispered, rubbing my arms.
"Not feeling well…" I lied, hiding my face into one of my pillows.
"Ikuto… Please. For a few moments." My mother begged.
I bolted up, not actually meaning to yell what came out next from my mouth: "What's the point?! Why does she even bother coming over?! She has that prick Tadase!"
My mother seemed taken back by my comment; I glared laying back down glaring out the window again.
"So that's what has been bothering you?" She had to be smiling. AT MY PAIN!!!
I felt my bed shift before I heard my mother voice again: "You don't have to come down… I'll let them know you're not feeling well."
I heard my door close, followed shortly by footsteps getting softer; a part of me felt bad that I had yelled at my mother who had done nothing wrong but the other felt relief. I groaned, realizing that Amu would probably never return my feelings.
Amu's P.O.V.:
Kya~a! My first date with Tadase-kun was amazing!!!!
My mother had brought me over to Ikuto's house for another friendly dinner; we were waiting in the living room for Souko to return from getting Ikuto. I couldn't stop the smiles that kept appearing on my face; I'm pretty sure my mother noticed because I heard a soft chuckle but before I could ask her about it: Souko returned. Ikuto-less.
"Aah! I'm sorry but it appears Ikuto isn't feeling well today so it'll just be us." Souko explained to us.
Ikuto isn't feeling well… That's strange… He looked okay in school today.
I shrugged it off and followed my mother into the dining room; "I have an idea, Souko… How about Amu brings Ikuto something like soup?" my mother's suggestion received a shocked expression from me… and Souko?!
"I-I d-don't t-think that's a good idea… W-we wouldn't want Amu g-getting s-sick." Souko struggled with the right words.
"I'll be right back… I'm gonna go use the bathroom." I excused myself quickly from the room.
I checked my surrounding before I snuck up the staircase to the second floor; "Now… Ikuto's room should be here." I mumbled, slowly opening a door.
I poked my head inside; 'definitely a boy's room' I concluded, stepping inside the room. I crept around the room, even though no one was inside; I ran my fingers over the wooden dresser before realizing that this was Ikuto's room, at least from my window's point-of-view. I stood in front of his desk to see an IM'ing window still open; debating on whether I should actually read it; my eyes scanned the screen but stopped when I saw my name! I sat down in the computer chair reading the whole IM.

Alley_Cat:: No, shithead! Hate her guts… Fuck yes
Soccer_Star:: Don't take your sexual frustrations out on me.
Alley_Cat:: Dammit!!!!!!!!! How did you win her over?
Soccer_Star:: No way
Alley_Cat:: What
Soccer_Star:: No offense to Amu… but she was a bit of an easy girl
Alley_Cat:: JACKASS
Soccer_Star:: Hence why I added no offense to Amu… shithead

****************
My hand somehow found its way onto my mouth and before I realized what I was doing I bolted downstairs, heading straight for the garage. If Ikuto wasn't in his room…. And Ikuto last message to Kukai was only ten minutes ago…. He couldn't have…. I opened the garage door, standing in the kitchen my knees gave out on me and I fell to the floor in shock: No Ikuto but what was worse was… No Bike.
"Amu-sweetie." Souko's voice barely could be heard over my pounding heart. Why is it beating so much?!
Suddenly a loud knock at their door caused me to jump off the floor; Souko left me to answer it.
"Oh! Kukai-kun---"
"Where's Ikuto?!" I could hear the pain in his voice.
Somewhere in my body, I felt the strength to stand up and walk over to them; I made it there just as Souko answered him, "He's in his room."
"N-No… no. he isn't. I was just up there." My voice came out monotone and distant.
"Hinamori! Wait! Ikuto isn't in his room!" His voice rose alarm in Souko; at least that was my guess by the way here eyes were acting.
"His bike is gone too."
"Shit! Dammit! Ikuto! I'm gonna kill that guy!" Kukai swore, spinning on his heels and heading back to this truck.
"K-Kukai! Wait! I'm coming too!" I ran after him, worry flooding my body.
"Don't. In case he calls… You should be here." He glanced back at me, with a small smile.
I nodded my head then watched him leave; speeding off to look for Ikuto. I re-entered the house, where I knew I would not be able to look at Souko until Ikuto came back.
Kukai's P.O.V.:
Fuck-tard! I swear Ikuto… If Nagi, Utau, or Rima don't find you first I'm going to beat the shit outta you!
I bit my lips, trying to come up with places Ikuto might go; I had already called Nagihiko and Kairi, knowing that they would be calling for more help: Nagihiko would be calling Rhythm, his cousin while Kairi called his cousin, Musashi. I drummed my fingers on my steering wheel, pouting as my mind raced through so many outcomes… none pleasant.
"Dammit! Kukai! Stop! Calm Down! Ikuto… he isn't one to act like this…" I growled out loud.
I looked back up to see the light turn green; I drove further down the road, hoping that Ikuto was alright… So I can feel better about beating the shit outta him!!!!!
Kukai & Amu's P.O.V.:
"Ikuto… Where are you…?"
"Why can't you love me? Why?"
Me:: Finally I added some angsty-angst to the story!!
Kukai & Amu:: Now where the hell did Ikuto go?!
Me:: *ignoring them* Thank you Amu Tsukiyomi for returning him…
Kukai & Amu:: DON'T IGNORE US!
Me:: *scratching head* Umm, to answer a question I received in one of the reviews [whitefirewolf09]: Their Charas are going to be people that are related to them. Rhythm is Nagihiko's cousin; Musashi is Kairi's cousin… For the other charas, I'm afraid you'll have to wait…
Me:: Reviews!! Fill my need!!! XD
