Rella: Hi! Aw! Ikuto! You're sooo sweet after Amu got raped!
Ikuto: Don't say that.
Rella: What Rape?
Ikuto: Yes that.
Rella: Why can't I say rape?
Ikuto: Rella!
Rella: Why can't I say rape? I wanna know why I can't say rape.
Ikuto: 'Cause it's a bad word.
Rella: Rape is a bad word?
Ikuto: Rella, please?
Rella: I'll stop saying rape if you tell me why it's a bad word.
Ikuto: I'll tell you later.
Rella: Mk! On with the story!
CHAPTER 7.
I awoke again in Ikuto's bed, but this time, I was kind of grateful to him. I didn't suspect him of being dirty, or sexual in any way, just...nurturing.
I remembered him singing me to sleep after...that. I blushed at the thought of him. "Ikuto..."
"Hmmm?" A voice answered restlessly behind me.`
I picked up my head and looked over. Ikuto was there, leaning his head on a balled fist.
"Did you get any sleep?" I asked wearily.
"No." He answered flatly.
"Ikuto, you have to get sleep. What were you doing up all night anyways?" I asked plainly, now getting out of the bed.
"Worrying about you." He answered seriously.
I looked over at him. He noticed me blushing.
Ikuto then got up and walked over to me, and....and then hugged me? He was hugging me. Tears were forming in my eyes, but...why? Why was I crying?
I suddenly remembered why I had the right to cry. I remembered. I sobbed in his shirt.
I heard Ikuto's breathing get jumpy. Was he crying also? When I felt the cold drops on my oversized shirt seep through to my skin, I knew it was a yes.
"Amu..Amu he's gone...he'll never come back...and if he does, I'll protect you...I promise...I love you too much to let you go like that." He declared.
I blushed."I...I...I have to go." I said hastilly as I pulled away and ran out the door. I heard Ikuto call my name. I ignored it, though.
I finally stopped at the town park, and took a break on the bench. I couldn't stop crying, and I kept whispering, "Liar...liar...liar..."
I was shivering, even though it was eighty-nine degrees out. Why did I feel so cold? Maybe it was because of the two hands holding my arm...
Wait..what? AHH! HANDS!??! HOLY FUCK! I looked up anxiously to see who was grabbing my arm. I sighed as I reconized the young blonde boy. Tadase.
"Hey, Amu." He greeted.
"Hi, Tadase." I answered him. I never really talked to Tadase anymore. Ever since he and Yaya started going out, we haven't really been friends. "How's Yaya?"
"Um...Big..." He answered.
"So all those sweets finally caught up with her?" I joked.
He laughed weakly. "No..uh..actually, she pregnant."
I gulped down spit hard. "P...pregnant??!! TADASE ARE YOU FUCKING HALF-RETARDED?! YAYA'S ONLY 12 YEARS OLD, AND SHE'S PREGNANT??!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HER?"
He frowned. "I didn't. Kukai did."
My eyes widened. "Kuk-"
"Amu I still love you!" He blurted out.
"What?" I asked.
"I still love you, but then you suddenly started falling for Ikuto-nii san so I just....I just fell for Yaya. But then she cheated on me with Kukai, and now...now she's pregnant...but I couldn't stop think of you.." He inished.
"I don't love you Tadase. In fact, I hate you. To the bone. I really can't tell you why, but there's just...just this feeling inside me that wants to kill you. I have to go." I said as I got up an walked away, not knowing where
I was going...
Rella: Amu! How could you be so cold to Tadagay?
Amu: You just said Tadagay...
Rella: Did not.
IKuto: Yea you did.
Rella: Rape.
Ikuto: NYA!!
Rella: KYUU!!!~
Amu: Heh...
Rella: ANYWAY! Watch out for more Hop, Step, RUN!!! Kyuu~
Ikuto: Grr...
