Chapter 15: Love Burns; Someone Returns
Ikuto stared wide eyed at her. Amu looked at him, her eyes lowered and her face red. "I-I mean it Ikuto. Every single word," Amu said, her voice stern. His eyes lowered and his hand caressed her face. "We're not done with our kiss yet," Ikuto whispered, and before Amu could react, he pressed his lips against hers firmly. Amu's eyes widened but later they lowered-and her blush deepened. Her hands reached around his neck and he fell on top of her.
Their lips moved in rhythm-but now Amu's lips were moving back. Amu panted and blushed more and felt his tongue nip at her lip-and she happily opened her mouth for entrance. His tongue explored her mouth. Amu suddenly let out a moan. She blushed as he smirked. Then, his hands roamed her body. "A-ah!" Amu moaned. His hands were about to unbutton her shirt when the shed opened.
"Ah, here's the ball-" Kukai said, and his eyes widened and he slightly blushed at their position. Utau was next to him, and their hands were entwined. Utau's eyes widened and she was blushing too. Ikuto had a frightening aura around him. Amu sighed. "D-did I interrupt something..?" Kukai whispered, afraid. "No. Not at all." Ikuto snapped at him with his teeth clenched. Utau shuddered. "L-lets get out of here…b-before he kills us," Utau whispered into Kukai's ear.
When they arrived at the hot springs, Harmony looked at her suspiciously. Amu sighed. "W-we got together…" Amu answered her question without her asking, embarrassed. Harmony's eyes widened and her smile became massive. "YES YES YES YES YES!! FINALLY!" She screamed, and embraced her. Amu laughed.
When the went to their rooms, Amu blushed when she saw Ikuto there. They brushed their teeth. Ikuto smiled and kissed her again, and Amu kissed back. "Time for bed, Amu," He whispered into her ear. Amu blushed and nodded. They got into bed and Ikuto cuddled to her. "Ikuto..you're such a cat," Amu sighed. Ikuto chuckled. "That's because I am one.." He whispered. Then he kissed her cheek. Amu blushed.
"Night."
"Good night."
The Next Day
"Okay, everyone! We're going home now!" Harmony called. "Yeah!" The group yelled. They wanted to go home. Amu laughed. Ikuto's arm was around Amu's shoulder as they walked onto the train.
Amu gasped at the beautiful lakes speeding by. "Beautiful…" Amu whispered. Ikuto laughed and whispered into her ear, "Not as beautiful as you."
Amu blushed madly. "S-shut up." Amu whispered. Ikuto chuckled.
The train stopped after a while of the crew sleeping. They woke up and headed home. "So this is good bye guys! See ya at school!" Harmony called. Then, they nodded and said goodbye.
After a drive, Amu and Ikuto arrived home. Ikuto dropped his suitcase and completely embraced Amu.
Amu gasped and blushed madly. "I-Ikuto..w-what are you doing?" Amu stuttered. "This is too good to be true…to actually have you…" Ikuto whispered into her ear. Amu blushed and hugged him back. "Well, I'm here. I'm sorry it took so long for me to realize it…Ikuto."
"Koi."
"Eh?"
"Add koi to my name."
Amu sighed.
"I love you…Ikuto-koi.." Amu whispered. Ikuto's eyes widened, but later they lowered. "Say that again."
"I love you. There, I said it-I have no fear of saying it any more," Amu whispered, obviously dead serious about what she said.
His hand caressed her face and then he smirked. "Aw, Amu, you love me so much don't you?" He teased.
Amu frowned and blushed deeper. "N-no.."
Ikuto's smirk dropped. "But you said it yourself.." He whispered, but then he turned his back on her. "Guess it was too good to be true," He scoffed.
Amu's eyes widened. "N-no! I-Ikuto!" Amu cried, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "No..Ikuto…I didn't mean that..the 'no' part. But Ikuto…I really do love you…" Amu whispered, and turned him around.
"So, please..believe me." She whispered.
Ikuto's lip twitched. "Do you promise?"
"Yes, Ikuto-koi."
He smiled and hugged her. "I'm glad," He whispered, and pressed his lips against hers.
Amu giggled and kissed back. Amu panted while they were kissing. "Iku-to…y…your just a ……little…kid..aren't you…" Amu whispered against his eager lips. (A/N: btw, the dots mean that they're kissing in between her words)
He smirked and gave a little peck on her nose and let go. "No I'm not. I'll show you," He whispered, his nose against hers, and he crashed his lips against hers again.
"Ah-Iku-" Amu stopped and moaned in delight when his tongue barged in through her lips and their tongues battled for dominance. His tongue licked the side of her mouth and Amu moaned as Ikuto's hands slid to her hip and he kissed her from her cheek to her shoulders. They backed up until a "thud' was heard on the wall and Amu panted while blushing madly. He pressed his lips against hers again, obviously wanting more.
Amu giggled softly, kissed back, and put her hands on his cheek and their tongues touched softly.
"Iku..to.."
Amu's eyes widened when his hands slid down her hip and slid under her skirt and was about to enter her underwear.
Amu gasped and pushed him away. Ikuto stared at her, surprised, and hurt. He was confused. "Amu…could it be..you don't like it?" He whispered. Amu blushed and looked at the wall as she covered herself. "I-It's not that…I'm just..not ready yet.." She whispered.
Ikuto stared at her for a moment, and blinked. He put his hand to his forehead. "I'm sorry.." He whispered.
"N-no, Ikuto-"
"I know, Amu. It's not that I think you don't love me. I'll try to control that part of me," He smiled. Amu blushed.
"Oh, Amu?"
"Hai, Ikuto-koi?"
"Your breasts have grown bigger, even though they are still kind of flat.."
Amu's eyes narrowed and she growled at him. She panted and got as force as much as she can and screamed at the top of her lungs,
"YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEERT!!!"
Ikuto laughed as Amu stubbornly tried to hit him. He dodged them perfectly. "W-why you….STUPID CAT!" She screamed, but she was slightly smiling.
"Neko."
"AH-MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW!!" Amu laughed and petted him happily. The cat snarled and bit her hand playfully. Amu blushed and sighed. She held him up in his hands and kissed the furry lips. In a flash, Ikuto became free of this form-but this time he was in his clothes. Amu sighed in relief.
He growled playfully. "That wasn't very nice.." Ikuto teased. Amu laughed. "It seems like everything is just perfect for now, isn't it?" Ikuto asked.
But then, Amu stopped and looked at the floor as she remembered a horrible flashback.
"But what about…Lulu?" She whispered.
Ikuto's eyes narrowed and his teeth clenched. His hands were balled up into fists. "I'll take care of her. Don't worry, Amu," Ikuto said the first part through his teeth, but at the last part, he spoke to her gently.
Amu closed her eyes and opened them. She smiled softly. "Okay."
"We have the whole day to ourselves. What should we do?" Amu asked.
Ikuto was deep in thought for a moment. Then he smirked.
"My option: Stay alone together in the bedroom."
Amu's eyes widened and she blushed. "E-ee-ee-ee-ee-EEEH?!?! I-I TOLD YOU I-I'M NOT READY FOR THAT!!" Amu screamed in embarrassment.
Ikuto chuckled and ruffled her hair. "I was kidding. Let's go on a date." Ikuto said suddenly. Amu blushed. "A-a-a-a-a-a-a date?!" Amu stuttered. Ikuto smirked. "Yes, a date. Now hurry up and change! Before I do it for you…" Ikuto threatened.
Amu blushed even harder. "Y-Y-YES SIR!" She cried, and rushed to her bedroom.
After Ikuto waited a while, his eyes widened when he saw Amu. She was blushing. Her hair was tied up in a half ponytail and had a black purse on her arm. She had a jacket that reached under her chest and had a short sleeved pink and black shirt. She had a black skirt that reached little above her thigh and had blue high heels on.
"I-I tried to dress casually on a date.."
Ikuto was still speechless.
"So I was a little nervous..hopefully I didn't dress up too much?" She asked. Ikuto blinked and he smiled. "It's perfect," He whispered into her ear. Amu blushed as she followed him outside.
"Um..where are we going?" Amu questioned as they walked into an unfamiliar street. He smiled and turned around to look at her puzzled look. "You'll see," He hinted, and walked on with his hands in his pockets. Amu sighed.
Then, Amu's eyes widened when they approached the nicest looking restaurant she had ever seen. It was in front of a large, sparkling blue lake and the building was large. It was like a beach house, except bigger. Ikuto came up to the clerk and murmured, "A table for two, please. Something private," He whispered. The clerk happened to be a girl, and she giggled and agreed quickly. But she looked at Amu and glared at her. Amu winced; the girl was a looker. She had straight, shiny strawberry blonde hair that reached to her waist. She was tall..and her chest was definitely 10 times larger than hers. She had a slim body and while she walked she had a graceful composure.
Amu stared after her in slight jealousy. "Here's your menu," She whispered, and smiled mainly at Ikuto. Ikuto didn't look at her, but said "Thanks."
He passed the menu to Amu. Amu smiled at him. "I can't believe you knew such a nice place like this. It's absolutely wonderful," Amu noted. Ikuto smirked back. "Of course. I thought you'd like it," Ikuto noted as he rested his chin on his hand. "I guess I should order then," Amu said after stirring her straw in her drink, and opened up the menu.
Amu's eyes widened as there were so many choices that she wanted to choose.
"Okay, what do you want?" Ikuto asked.
"Strawberry cake, fudge cake, cheesecake, chocolate cake, chocolate taiyaki, chocolate ice cream, and cookie special," Amu requested. When she looked up Ikuto had a sweat drop on his face.
"Um..Amu…this is lunch. Order something more healthier before dessert," Ikuto sighed. Amu blushed. "F-fine. Then I take the Fettucini Alfredo pasta with….number 2 on page 5," Amu said reluctantly. The last one she couldn't pronounce. Ikuto sighed and decided his order. The waiter finally came. It was a girl again, except this time she had curly brown hair and a slender body. Her chest was even bigger than the last one, and she smiled kindly at Ikuto.
Amu sighed. Ikuto looked at her without expression and told them their orders. She nodded and smiled. "Right away," She smiled.
"So..for what reason did you bring me here for?" Amu asked curiously. Ikuto sighed. "To tell you about what's the reason for Lulu and where my step father came from." Ikuto whispered.
Amu's eyes widened, but she didn't reply.
"When I was five, I was chained to this company called Easter. I had to do whatever they asked, because they told me that I needed to repay my real father's debt when he belonged to this company. Ever since he abandoned us on that day…" Ikuto started, his eyes clearly hurt.
Amu looked worriedly at him.
"So I got a step father and he married my mother; who is currently deranged right now and worried sick about my father, even though he married her. But the only reason he married her was to get connections with me so me and Utau, so we can pay for our debts for our father. Even though he helped me a little with Lulu on that day, he's not as kind as you expect. He tried to make a trusting impression on you, that's all. Instead, he supports the plan of trying to make us fail as much as possible. I didn't want to bring you into this." Ikuto continued, his hand curling around Amu's.
"But one day, they seemed to hear of my relations with you and you living with me. So my stepfather's clients, I think, brought Lulu, but I'm not sure why she agreed to do this, but she was ordered to marry me and have the company become richer since Lulu was filthy rich. And they disliked you, which I am not sure why. It's a dirty, cheap way to get the company more money. Also, they wanted a girl like Lulu with me. Before they resisted on putting any projects on me now, because there wasn't any recently. But now, they've told me on the phone..but I've rejected every single one. But this time, they're threatening me with dangerous things. So please Amu..caution yourself around me. Don't lose your guard," Ikuto finished, grabbing Amu's hand. Amu blushed, but looked sadly at Ikuto, and nodded.
The waiter finally came and got them their food.
Amu's mouth watered. She clasped her hands and happily called, "Itadakimasu!" and stuffed her mouth. Ikuto sighed and held his laugh when she was eating. Amu looked at him with an irritated look on her face, but her cheeks were full. Ikuto couldn't hold it any more.
"Pft…pft….pf..Hahahahahahahahahhaaha!" Ikuto laughed maniacally, pounding his fist on the table. "Shut up," Amu growled at him. Ikuto stopped laughing and he was still smiling widely. "It's not my fault you eat so unhealthy," Ikuto laughed. "Hmph!" Amu grumbled, and stuffed a ravioli in her mouth.
Ikuto laughed again, but it was softer this time.
They quickly finished their food and they ordered their check and got out of the restaurant. "Where should we go next?" Amu asked. "Oh, I have another place nearby," Ikuto smiled slyly. Amu's eyebrow raised. "What do you mean?" Amu asked. He smirked. "Just follow me," He whispered. Amu sighed and she seemed to follow him into a row of stairs that reached below the street. "Where does this lead to?" She asked curiously. Ikuto didn't answer, but she followed him anyways. On the walls there were flyers every where, and then finally, on the door, there was a gold sign that said, "Jazz Club"
"Jazz….club?" Amu whispered, and then Ikuto opened the door.
Amu gasped. It was a little café with a large stage in the middle, and she saw instrument players tuning their instruments. "Sit here," Ikuto instructed and pointed to a table. She reluctantly obeyed and saw Ikuto in confusion, walk upon the stage.
Her eyes widened when he was in center stage, near the microphone, with violin in one hand.
"W-wait! It couldn't be-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Ikuto spoke in the microphone.
"All you people here tonight, I dedicate this cover of this song to my girlfriend, sitting on table 10." Amu's eyes widened and she blushed slightly when the crowd cheered.
Ikuto nodded at the other people and the trumpets blared and the piano played quickly, the song was quite catchy. Then Amu instantly recognized the tune. It was the same tune as jazzy as Michael Buble's version of "Sway." (A/N: Listen to it! If you want to hear what song Ikuto sings :D)
Then his voice instantly sang out to the crowd. Amu's eyes lowered and listened closely to his wonderful singing-he was as good singer like Utau. His voice unexpectedly fit the song and his voice was low and quite sexy.
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
When he finished the first verse, his infamous sexy smirk slowly came across his face. Mostly girls screamed at that part, but Amu was staring at him, speechless. He sang the next part, and his voice was like silky velvet and his voice was never out of tune.
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
When it came to the pause with all the music playing, he started playing the violin and added a sweet, catchy, sexy tune to it. Amu sighed in delight.
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
He started playing the violin as he sang this part, and it entranced her even more. His voice was perfect and his voice echoed in the room, and the people in the room cheered him on.
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
When he was done, he got off the stage and went to Amu's table and kissed her full on the lips. They clapped and cheered. Amu was clearly embarrassed and was blushing more than she ever was.
"Did you like it?" Ikuto asked as the crowd cheered.
Amu blushed. "Of course," She mumbled. Ikuto smiled. They got out and Amu blushed madly. "I-I really appreciate that Ikuto..that was the sweetest thing you've ever done.." Amu whispered. Ikuto smiled and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
A girl in a black, large hat covered her eyes but you could see the bottom part of her face. Her face was creamy peach and her hair was light yellow and was curly at the end. She was wearing a white coat and black high heels. As she saw a guy in midnight blue hair and a girl with strawberry pink hair, she took out her cell phone and dialed the number.
"Moshimoshi?"
"Gozen-sama, I've seen them. The plan's in action."
"Roger. Meet you there."
"Bye."
She smirked and flipped back her cell phone.
"This is going to be fun.." She whispered.
When Amu and Ikuto arrived home, Amu embraced Ikuto and pressed her lips against his. He smirked under her lips and kissed her back. Their hands entwined together and Ikuto dived his tongue into her mouth and Amu gladly opened her mouth. Amu moaned and they let go and looked at each other seriously. "I love you," Ikuto whispered.
All of a sudden, the door opened and Kai and Harmony walked in. "Hello!! We're just visiting-" Harmony started, but her eyes widened.
"S-sorry if I interrupted.." Harmony whispered. "No, it's okay! Come in!" Amu reassured them. Ikuto sighed.
They talked for a bit and teased each other.
All of a sudden the door opened again.
Amu's eyes widened in fear.
"LULU?!" Ikuto whispered. Harmony's eyes widened. "So you're that stupid French girl that I've heard about! See, if you do anything to their relationship, I swear you bitch-" Harmony screamed, but Kai covered her mouth and whispered something into her ear. Harmony sighed but kept on glaring at her.
Lulu glared at her back, her eyes cold. "Brave words for such a pathetic person," Lulu scoffed.
"WHAT DID YOU-" Again, Harmony was interrupted. "Lulu, what are you doing here?" Ikuto asked her, his voice filled with rage. Lulu smirked. " I'm just going to tear you and Amu apart. Now, Ikuto, marry me!" She demanded.
"No way that's going to happen!" Amu cried.
"Amu-"
"You hear me?! NO way will I allow that!" Amu yelled. Lulu smirked wider. "I won't Lulu." Ikuto said sternly to her.
Lulu sighed and beckoned a man to come over to her.
"Ikuto's step dad?!" Amu whispered. He smirked and stared at them. "Oh well. I guess I have no choice."
Lulu took out something black and shiny.
Everyone's eyes in the room widened. It was a gun.
"If you won't accept my offer, then," Lulu said, pointing the sentence at Amu.
"I'll just kill you and take Ikuto as my own."
Amu's eyes were horrified and her eyes widened. But before Harmony could gasp in horror and Ikuto's eyes widen; she pulled the trigger.
(DO NOT STOP READING AT THIS PART. THIS LAST PART IS SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT. READ 'TIL THE END OF THIS CHAPTER.)
A shot was fired, and Ikuto's eyes widened in horror. "NO!" Harmony cried, tears running down her face. Amu's eyes were open and shocked, and all of a sudden, her eyes closed and she fell, with a "thump" on the floor.
A pool of red liquid formed near her.
"NO! HOW COULD YOU KILL AMU?!" Ikuto yelled, a tear running down his face. Lulu smirked. "Marry me."
"NO WAY!"
"Oh really? You want the same fate for your friends..?" Lulu whispered, turning to Kai and Harmony.
Harmony shuddered as Kai protectively hugged her.
"F-fine…" Ikuto whispered.
"I-Ikuto! Y-you can't-" Harmony cried, but Ikuto shook his head. "I can't let you all die…" Ikuto whispered.
Harmony was silent after that.
As Ikuto walked out the door, Harmony's weeping could be heard. Ikuto winced and memories of Amu appeared in her mind. He couldn't help it, tears fell down his face.
Meanwhile…
Lulu glanced behind her as she saw a sorrowful Ikuto. She smirked at Gozen walking beside her. "This will totally work."
"Good thing I came up with it. If Ikuto thinks Amu is dead, he'll eventually come to you and marry you." Gozen noted.
Lulu smirked. "Anyways, what did I really do to Amu?"
Gozen smirked. "Our scientists came up with an experiment. The bullet in your gun was actually a small needle filled with a medicine that injects into someone's body and let's them sleep for a while until the needle is pulled out. It gently pierces the body, and to fake the death, red paint spills out from the hole." Gozen explained.
Lulu nodded, clearly surprised. "Impressive," She whispered slyly. "Now all we have to do is make Ikuto eventually come to you since he thinks Amu is dead. If he doesn't…he might be willingly to sacrifice himself for her sake, but you musn't let him do that. Maybe threaten him with his friend's lives." Gozen finished.
Lulu smirked wider. "Brilliant."
Back to Harmony and Kai
While Harmony was crying, Kai got out of her embrace and looked suspiciously at the pool of red liquid. His hand swiped it out of the floor, and he sniffed it.
Harmony wiped her tears and looked puzzled at him. "Kai…what are you doing?" She whispered. Kai's eyes widened. "This..isn't blood. It's paint!" Kai whispered.
Harmony's eyes widened. She immediately put her head against her chest and heard a heartbeat. "She's alive!" Harmony whispered.
Kai turned her over and found a little needle on a shoulder. He carefully plucked it out and Amu's eyes instantly opened.
"I-I'm not dead?"
"No, your not Amu! But this is an urgent matter!" Harmony warned.
Amu looked at her in confusion.
"Ikuto is officially getting married to Lulu!"
Amu's eyes widened.
Ikuto, Lulu, and Gozen in the Car
Ikuto was in handcuffs while Gozen drove the car and Lulu was in the front seat. Ikuto still had tears on his face. "While we set up the wedding, you'll be our prisoner for the time," Gozen instructed. Ikuto winced and kept silent.
Amu's POV
As Harmony and Kai explained, my eyes widened.
My eyebrows furrowed and my teeth clenched.
The only thing that appeared at my mind this time was;
We'll save you this time, Ikuto.
