My Captive Amu

I decided to go to school and he transferred…what a coincidence!

After 3 agonizing hours of lecture, it's finally lunch time, How thankful I was to hear the bell, but still, I think I forgot how boring lectures are, "It would've been better if I stayed home" I muttered to myself as I rest my head on my table.

Yaya then, out of the blue made her appearance and invited me, "Let's eat!" with her usual casual smile, how I missed that. I nodded and smiled back as I stood up and walked out with them to buy lunch.

As we all eat our meals quietly, "So," Rima started, "what do you think of the new student?"

"DELICIOUS!" Yaya shouted, delight was heard in her tone of voice while I choked on my food and immediately drank my juice, thinking to myself that she couldn't possibly...

"Amu?"

I laughed roughly, "t-the food was so good that I-I p-put all at o-once!" I reasoned her, faking a laugh, "H-ha-ha?"

Rima put on a weird face as she corrects my thoughts, "She meant the food, Amu."

"Hahaha, I knew that!" ...No I didn't,

I then continue to mindlessly shove my food with an upset look on my face. How could I even thought that! Yaya is a pure and innocent soul whose mind constantly thinks of cakes and sweet things!

And Ikuto is definitely not a sweet thing!

I noticed both of them staring at me. I responded their stares with a what? expression on my face as I look at them. Yaya smirked, "does Amu have a 'thing' for the new student?" Who are you? You are definitely not the innocent sweet loving Yaya that was my classmate!

I almost threw up my food at the impossibility of it all. How the hell could I have a 'thing' for Ikuto? Whatever that thing is...

Shrugging off and ignoring their question, "...Anyway, what happened while I was gone?" I asked trying to avoid their question. I then noticed Yaya's kill joy expression as her mouth curved into a disapproving pout and her eyes slant in a glare before muttering, "...no fun!"

I could only smile sheepishly at her...

"Well," Rima paused and looked at me, "your public confession was all around school," she said as she drank her juice, "It got Tadase's fanclub rushing to our room just to look for you. Not to mention how furious Saaya is over the matter," I flinched in fright at what she said and immediately thought about leaving school again...

"But, it came to pass as the days go by," Yaya continued

I smiled, "thank God!" but I can't deny that I'm still very much worried about the matter. Things like that aren't easy to forget, especially for me...

Both of them smiled in return as they reassure me, "but regardless of whether they have forgotten or not, we're here for you, Amu!" Rima said

Relief rush into me and happiness overwhelm me as Yaya continued, "Count on us!"

I felt tears at the corner of my eyes as I answer them back, "thanks, guys!" And launch myself at them for a group hug ignoring their attempts of freedom and complains...

I love these guys!

I slid the door open and I was greeted by the girls screaming "kyaaaaaah!" all around Ikuto. What a very noisy welcome. I sighed as I turn my head away from their direction and to my seat, grimacing as I go,"Annoying" I mutter to myself

Ikuto then glanced at my direction and winked at me that pissed me off a whole lot more.

I ignored his stupid playboy act as I change my mind about what I initially plan to do, Ugh, I don't like being here, I thought and walked outside and as I closed the door. As I shut the door, I noticed him stand up, excusing himself from the crowd from what I see. Is he going to follow me? Heh, then that would save me the trouble of taking him from his beloved fangirls... I don't want to be the center of everyone's hatred once more... I've grown traumatized from that.

I was heading down the stairs when he caught up to me, "Amu." He called me. Why is he even talking to me? How annoying is he? I stop and look at him, "why are you here? And a student!" I immediately ask him

He paused for a moment before answering me with..."Compensation,"

Compensation? Is this some kind of a riddle? "For what?"

"For everything you've done for me, so I'm helping you," he continued.

I still don't understand him. But I am quite happy he wanted to repay me but he doesn't need to go as far as to transfer here.

Seriously, should I be happy about that?

I was about to ask why when the bell rang, signaling that everyone should head back to their classrooms for class is starting. Walking passed me and descending down the stairs, "go back to class," he said to me, "I'll skip this one."

Your first day of school and you skip classes? I turn towards him, "hey!" I called. But he responded my calling with a faint smile on his face as he reminds me, "You're planning on catching up to lesson right? Then you should go."

How did he...?

Feeling the slight heat in my cheeks as I turn my head, "suit yourself then!" I said as I quickly run to class... Dismissing my thoughts of worrying about him...

..

Well, I did say I was catching up, but in the end, I didn't really listen to the teacher discussing the lesson, instead I only looked outside and back to my empty note, followed by a bored sigh. Then I noticed Saaya Yamabuki, the student I know hates me like hell, looking around with an uneasy look on my face.

Must be looking for Ikuto, I thought as I stare at her. I need to remind myself to get away from that woman for all my life, who knows what will happen to me if that girl cross paths with me. I let out a sigh and- immediately turned away from her when she noticed me looking at her, I shivered to my seat, hoping she didn't notice me.

Oh please make it so!

For the rest of the lesson, I could only stare at the teacher and try my hardest not to move my head very much since I still feel the aura of her glare at me... It made me rate her hate for me as 10 out of 10, or maybe even higher than that! Through the rest of the minutes remaining till class is over, I silently stayed on my seat, feeling myself melt not only from the heat the sun is emanating, but also the deathly glare I was receiving not only from Saaya-sama now, but also from her comrades on the Tadase fan club... Did I mention that she was in that club and also formed the Tsukiyomi fan club just after seeing Ikuto...

Sigh...

I should really change class...

...

..

DING...DONG...DING...DONG...

"Sorry to make you wait guys!" I apologize as I ran towards them. Both of them just smiled at me, "let's go then!" Rima urged as she lead us out to the gate listening to my and Yaya's conversing about how my school shoes always ended up in the garbage and my table always turn backwards during the days I was gone. Not to mention the death threats in my locker...

I question myself if I should really be listening to this...

And as if she couldn't shift it to a whole new troublesome topic, "Hey, hey! Amu did you hear about the mysterious thief in the news last night?" ...then she does that... I sighed to myself.

"No, sorry,"I said walking faster from her. Geez why does she always have the luck of going through topics that I hate discussing?

"It is said that the mysterious thief no longer steals things ever since he stole that violin 3 days ago," Rima said that seemed to caught my attention. Three days ago... was the day I found Ikuto right?

No, No that can't be...

But then again, when I found him, I did saw that he was holding unto a violin... But that can be a coincidence!

I stopped in my tracks. But what if it wasn't and he really is the thief? I shook my head violently, refusing to believe this sudden idea of mine.

"Amu?

Well, I tend to over think this, so maybe it really was it...

Snapping back out of my thoughts, I turn to them, "I think I'll go home for today," I excused myself to them as I run ahead. I need to find him and ask him directly about this. I never really did know anything about him and what he was doing before I found him...

So please... please say it isn't so...

Ikuto!

Going for a turn, I accidentally bump onto someone, "Oh s-sorry," I apologized as I look up to the face I just collided with and immediately recognized him from the smirk plastered on his stupid face as he chews on a taiyaki, "What are you apologizing for? Stupid!"

I pushed myself away from him, "forget I ever said that!" I said crossing my arms over my chest as I glance at him, "what are you doing here?" How suspicious finding him in a place like this!

Flashing his bag of Taiyaki in my face, "...duh."

Well, it is my first time seeing him in a market. I ignore him attempt on provoking me as I ask him directly what was bugging me, "...Ikuto," I hesitated continuing but still, I have to know...

"...where's your violin?"

He stopped eating his fish like food for a moment and looked at me quizzically and answered, "I gave it to someone."

And who is that someone, I wonder? "you're a really mysterious guy." And for a moment, I saw him smirk darkly at me, "...w-who are you...really?"

It is then that I notice the atmosphere around him grew dark and cold like a back hole dragging everything else along with it. I reflexively stepped back from him as I brace myself to what he was about to say...

"I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto," he smiled darkly that made me shudder in fear, "but known to the public as the infamous mysterious dark thief,"

Uuu...that was certainly what I didn't want to hear from him...
