Chapter 11: The truth reveals itself

"Amu…will you be my girlfriend?" Ikuto asked staring straight into my innocent golden eyes.

Ahhh!!!!! Take a breath Amu!!! Ahhh!!! I cannot believe he is asking me this!!!!! Wait! What should I say? Yes, no, yes, no, yes………Thoughts whizzed through my head as I stood there dumbfounded the older teen's request. I just shook my head slowly up and down.

"Is that a yes?" Ikuto asked bringing his face closer to mine as I blushed and nodded once again.

He chuckled and whispered, "great…" as he kissed me once again. So…there we were…making out on top of a hill/mountain (still have no clue as to which one it is) when he broke away. I heavily blushed.

"You know…you're cute when you blush." He said smiling a real smile.

I blushed even darker at his words and mumbled 'pervert'.

To this, he responded, "Hey, now you're dating a pervert." I liked the sound of that…not the pervert part but… 'now you're dating…' It sounded so nice. I am dating Ikuto. Ikuto is dating me. Ikuto and I are dating. Ikuto and I are a couple. I can't believe this is happening. I guess I really do like him, and I guess he really does like me. He quickly brought his lips upon mine again. Eager much? Well… whatever…I like it. I kissed back gladly as he protectively held me. I hesitantly pulled away as he nuzzled my face.

"What time is it?" I whisper.

"Uhhh…..12:45." He responds.

"Ahh! I only have 15 minutes until my parents get home. I scrambled out of Ikuto's grasp and started running to my house. Much to my haste, Ikuto picked me up and chara changed with Yoru. (where did Yoru come from?)

He flew across the buildings from rooftop to rooftop again and we were outside my house yet again.

I saw that my parents' vehicle was not yet in the driveway, so I decided to use the front door. After unlocking the door, I invited Ikuto inside for a while until my parents got home. Unfortunately, once I walked in the door, I was clomped by a certain young child.

"Onee-chan!!! (is that right?)" the child said.

"A-Ami!?"I asked dumbfounded.

"Oh Amu-chan! Who is this?" My mother asked walking past me and pointing to Ikuto.

Crap! What am I going to tell them!!! Ahhh!!!! Oh no! Oh no!

"Hello, Mrs. Hinamori. I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto. And I am Amu's boyfriend." He answered politely.

And I am Amu's boyfriend…and I am Amu's boyfriend…and I am Amu's boyfriend….crap… this can't turn out well. Those words kept replaying in my mind.

"Oh! When did this happen?" My mother asked me delightedly. She's happy…well I guess she should be…she's been asking me whether I have a significant other for a while now.

"Umm…… a little while?" I answered, more like a question.

"This is soo wonderful!" My mother exclaimed.

"My little Amu-chan is growing up!" My father burst into spontaneous tears.

"Um…papa…" I tried to butt in.

"WAHHH!!!!!" he cried.

"Uh Papa! We made lunch for you! Just for you guys! To congratulate Ami on her performance!" I intervened.

"Who's we?" my mother pestered.

"Amu and I did." Ikuto answered for me.

They all went over to the table to look at the food. It was beautiful. (if food can be beautiful).

"Oh Amu-chan! I didn't know you could cook…!" my mother said.

"Umm…I can't." I squeaked out.

"So Ikuto-kun can cook!" she said.

I nodded my head in an embarrassed manner and blushed at the thought of me burning the food.

"Onee-chan?" Ami asked in that cute little voice of her.

"What is it, Ami?" I asked back.

"What happened to your hand?" she asked.

I made a confused look and took a glance at my hand. Oh…it was the burn.

"I had a little accident cooking, and then I just got a little boo-boo." I put it in her type of words. Words that she could understand and not ask any questions about. Ami asked too many questions. It's good once in a while to give her an answer that could not rise any more questions.

"What kind of boo-boo?" she asked. Leave it to Ami to find another question. I thought what I said was question-proof.

"A little burn. But don't worry about it." I ended our conversation.

"Well, everyone, I hope you like your lunch. I'll just be going now." Ikuto said as he headed for the door.

"Wait. You helped make this lunch. Shouldn't you eat with us?" I asked. It's true…he did help a lot.

"I'm not so sure. You should spend time with your family." I made puppy dog eyes at him and he finally gave in, "fine."

He sat next to me at the table and held my hand underneath the table cloth so nobody could see.

Ikuto was such a gentleman. I didn't know he had such nice manners. He was so sweet to my parents and always passed the food before he helped himself to any. Also, he came up with conversation topics so the lunch wouldn't be boring. Wow…there is so much more to Ikuto than I had initially thought.

After lunch, both Ikuto and I went up to my room.

"Heh, it's nice to be invited into your room for once." He said sitting on the bed.

"Um Ikuto I have a question." I asked nervously.

"Shoot."

"Did you really mean it when you asked me to be your girlfriend?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I meant it. Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know, but I'm glad you meant it."

"Oh Amu, falling for me?"

"Hmph!" I said and turned my back to him.

He snaked him arms around my waist and sat me in his lap. There, he softly whispered to me in my ear.

"Amu, you really are one of a kind…" he said.

He then gave me a sweet kiss. He tasted like our ice-cream dessert.
