Recap
She turned back and smiled. "That, I'll tell you later. In time, you'll understand."
Then she continued heading up the plane.
Chapter 3
Apology leads to a tragedy? (part I)
Ikuto got up 7:00 in the morning and made sure everyone was still asleep. Then he changed into some jeans and hoodie and scribbled down a note.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hinamori,
I will be gone for a couple hours, in case if you were wondering where I am. No worries, I should be back at around 9:30 or 10.
Soon to be son in law,
Ikuto Tsukiyomi
.::xTxTx::.
For the rest of the morning Ikuto went to didn't shops to look for the perfect bouquet of roses.
Then he went to a different amount of pastry shops and to his surprise met his good friend, Kairi Sanjou, who happened to be helping his girlfriend, Yaya Yuiki decorating the cakes.
Ikuto chatted with them for a while, and then left with a strawberry cake with chocolate shavings.
After all the shopping he ended up getting a bouquet of pink and yellow roses with a apology card attached to it, the strawberry cake with the chocolate shavings, a choker with red and black crisscross pattern and a clover shaped pendant in the middle. (A/N- Like the Humpty Key, except just the clover part.)
At the jewelry store, he had also bought an engagement ring for Amu.
I hope this will be enough to get her to accept my apology. Ikuto thought. But just in case, that doesn't work I'll invite all her friends over. Rima, Utau, Yaya, Nagi, Kukai, Kairi…I think that's it. Oh and of course, I forgot, Kiddy King and Lulu. He grimaced.
.::xTxTx::.
At 9:46, Ikuto and the group of friends and Tadagay and Lulu and Saaya arrived at Amu's house. Why is she there? I don't know. Saaya just happened to be with Lulu at the time and said she just had to come. (A/N- this is narrator's pov…)
Ikuto rang the doorbell.
"It's Ikuto."
"Yes, hurry in! Luckily, Amu went out to go shopping with Utau. She'll be back in an hour, so you better hurry." Midori said and winked.
So that explained why Utau wasn't there, when I called her and Kukai's house.
Utau and Kukai had just married approximately a year ago and have been living together ever since.
He pushed everyone in the house and then called his sister to let her know of the plan.
"Utau?" He asked.
"Yes, what is it? I'm shopping with Amu right now!" You could clearly hear the impatience in her voice.
"Is this on speaker?" He asked, suspiciously.
"No" She answered.
"Good, now listen…" Ikuto started.
"Well it better be important!" Utau snapped. "Or else, I'll hunt you down and make you die, a slow painful death!"
Ikuto sweat dropped.
"Remember how I told you, that Amu is arranged to be married to me?"
"Yes…"
"Well, we kind of got in a fight yesterday and I want to apologize…"
"Go on,"
"Me and the rest of the group are at her house decorating it and setting it up, you know that stuff?" He paused.
"Yeah, and?"
"We need about an hour, so-" He got cut off.
"You want me to keep her busy at until you guys finish?"
"Exactly, we'll be done at around 11"
"Anything else?"
"Nope"
"Okay, see ya"
"Bye." Ikuto closed his phone and smiled.
"Let's get this show on the road." Kukai said.
.::xTxTx::.
"Utau," I whined. "Is it time to go yet?" I asked for the 10th time. This shopping spree turned out to be a horror. She dragged me in every shop that we passed by, and we haven't be able to rest at least one bit!
Man is she hyper today! If I'd known, I would have never told her there was a big sale today at Easter Plaza. It included all our favorite shops. Which were, Hot Topic, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Hollister, you know those… shops. (A/N- They're living in America, I think…Ikuto- wth? You made up the story! Cecil- so? Ikuto- people are so dumb these days! Cecil- Me? Dumb? How could you call me dumb! I'm in all the advanced placement classes in school and you call me dumb? Ikuto- o.O Cecil- Now on with the story)
"Yes, we are." She answered.
"Yay! Finally! That was like a living nightmare!" I exclaimed, noticing what I had just said a second too late.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Utau roared. A dark aura surrounded her and you could see the flames in her eyes and the dark purple color surrounding her body. I backed up a bit.
"Whoopsies?" I asked. That didn't work, but she did calm down after a couple minutes.
"Do you mind if I come over?" She asked, breaking the silence.
"No, not at all!" I quickly answered, afraid to rouse her evil aura again. Then I smiled and turned to Utau.
"What are you smiling for?" She snapped. "Let's go!"
"Stubborn as always" I muttered hopping off the bench we were sitting at and walking to my car.
We talked about our childhood memories on our way to my house.
"Remember when we pranked called Saaya Samabuki in 7th grade?" I asked.
"Yeah, and her face when Nikaidou-sensei told her to sit down?" She giggled.
"I almost fell off my chair, I tell you."
"But I can't believe she'd think Kukai would actually ask her out on a date!"
"I know right?"
"Oh we're here." Utau said her expression turning serious. I wondered why. I shrugged it off, nothing to worry about.
But when we walked in the front door, I stood there with my mouth hanging open and my eyes wide with shock. The front door leads to the living room and the living room leads to the dining room, just so you know.
A banner was hanging from the wall draped across the room. It read,
"Forgive me?"
The whole room was decorated with banners and apologies. What was even better was when I walked into the dining room, all my friends we're there. Wait not just my friends. Why was Saaya there? On the table laid a present was neatly wrapped in pink and had a honey colored ribbon. Beneath the ribbon was a card.
I stepped forward to take a closer look. I brought the present up so I could see it and carefully removed the card first. I gasped when I saw the cover. It showed a picture of me and Ikuto when we were dating in 6th grade.
Did I tell you that? Yes, we had been dating in 6th grade until we had gotten in a major fight. I forgot what we we're fighting about, but it was important to us back then.
Its funny how you think something was important years ago, but now you can't even remember what it was that you'd thought was so important.
"Miss me, Amu-koi?" Ikuto said wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me to his chest. I blushed and looked away only to see Rima and Nagihiko whispering furiously and glancing at me and Ikuto every so often.
"So you missed me Amu-koi?"
I blushed and stuttered. "No! I-I-In your d-dreams!"
"Aww, so my little strawberry does miss me! You're so cute when you blush" He whispered in my ear.
"OKAY! ENOUGH LOVEY-DOVEY YAYA WANTS TO EAT CAKE!" Everyone sweat dropped. I sighed. Yaya's still same as always. She was a candy freak in elementary and middle school. A brownie freak in high school and now she's a cake freak.
After we ate the cake, I finished reading the card and opened the present. It was a beautiful choker with a clover pendant on it. I had hugged him by accident from all the excitement and then he teased me about it.
It is 12:11 in the afternoon, and everyone is having fun. I thought Saaya would cause some trouble but I guess I was wrong. She fit in along with the rest of us. She changed a lot over the years. Saaya was now more like Lulu and they both had developed a friendship in the last couple years.
Everything is turning out to be great.
"So do you forgive me?" Ikuto asked.
"Yeah, I guess so." I said and then quickly defended myself. "Well mainly for the choker and the great food. Not to mention for bringing over all our friends."
"Still stubborn I see." He teased.
"You want to watch TV with us?" Rima asked.
"Sure" I replied and walked over to the couches where Kukai, Utau, Yaya were watching Rima's favorite comedy show.
After a while, I got bored, so I decided to look for Ikuto. I hadn't seen him since I had accepted his apology.
I walked around asking if anyone had seen him. Most people ignored me and some were asleep in their lover's lap.
I went upstairs and knocked on his door. Nobody answered so I assumed he wasn't in there. I searched the other rooms to see if he was there. My parents and Aruto had gone out for the night so we could have the house to ourselves.
I opened to door to my room in defeat. And guess what I saw? I saw Ikuto and Saaya making out on my sofa. WHAT? My head screamed. This was unbelievable.
I dropped the cup of juice in disgust forgetting that they didn't know I was there. Ikuto pushed Saaya off due to the sound of breaking glass. His eyes widened as he saw me.
Some of the glass had scraped my hand causing it to bleed and the glass made me bleed in some other places too.
I bet I was a bloody mess, but I didn't care. I fought the urge to scream and run away or let my tears spill over the rim.
"S-sorry!" I stuttered. I heard Ikuto say "Wait! Amu! I can explain! It's not as it looks!"
But I ignored him. I ran down the stairs leaving a trail of blood. I saw everyone turn and gasp when they saw me.
"Amu, what happened to you?" I heard Utau say. I ignored her and everyone who was asking me if something was wrong. I simply didn't care. After I was out of my house, I ran even faster then I had before.
All I could see were blurry blotches of color. Many people I passed by were staring at me. Probably thinking, "What's with her?"
The feeling inside, it was not describable. The tears kept coming and never came to a stop. The truth itself, it was unbearable.
I clutched the place where my heart would be and dropped to my knees. The pain, it was hurting me, more than the cuts from the splintered glass. I had a gash on my right arm and several smaller cuts on my other arm. My knees were bleeding and I felt a sharp pain coming from a gash in my left knee.
All these cuts could heal. But my heart, that was something else. The wound Ikuto left me; it would take years and years to heal. And in some cases it would be there forever. A scar left inside you, hurting you, yet it's invisible to those around you.
I stayed at the amusement park for some time and then I decided to head back. It was getting very late.
I was walking across a big street when I saw Ikuto, Utau, and Yaya walking around the corner of the building. I froze when they saw me and then I felt the tears streaming down my face again.
I turned and ran back to where I was. But before I did, I heard a screeching noise from around a corner. It was out of control. And it was coming towards me too fast.
The last thing I remembered was the intense pain in my side and the screaming of people all around me, shaking me to wake up. Sorry, I thought. I'm too tired. I just want to sleep. Then I drifted into unconsciousness.
Then I drifted into unconsciousness.
Cecil: Did you like it guys? And Ikuto's so mean!
Ikuto: -scoffs- You're the one who made this story
Amu: I think it was pretty good.
Cecil: Sorry if there were any grammar mistakes. Everytime I go back and erase something. If I add anything it'll erase the words after it. You know what I mean? I'm also sorry if this chapter was bad. I'm not exactly good with drama scenes I don't think. I mean like how to write it and describe it.
Amu: Oh and the first 5 reviewers (not anonymous reviewers), will receive a chibi Utau doll.
Cecil: I want 30-40 reviews or 40+! Please, with a cherry on top?
If you add some criticism please don't be too harsh! I take a lot of criticisms seriously! So please! Sorry for the long wait!
