Morg: Heyo! Bet you weren't expecting another update for your birthday Mi-chan! Well you get one!

Ikuto: This is why we avoid you.

Amu: We don't avoid her. We just ignore her.

Morg: Shut it you two.

Ikuto: Say something Amu.

Amu: Eh? Must have been the wind you heard.

Morg: You're lucky I don't own you!

~Alone With You~

They had too many close calls over the two days they were trapped down in the bunker. One of the workers just wouldn't give up the notion of starting to track them from the shed. Several times, Ikuto had to signal for their silence. Amu complied each and every time. She knew the consequences of being caught. Her life would go back to being how it was before the bet of a summer ago. Playing the role as the perfect daughter was not what Amu wanted anymore. Her mother needed to let her go.

Ikuto wasn't about to be separated from his pinkette ever again. Try as they might, his father and her mother would never succeed in splitting them apart. Even if they tried to hide Amu on a different planet, Ikuto would find her.

They sat facing each other while Ikuto watched the monitor while the same man once again looked through the shed for any evidence as to where the couple he was after had gone. Several times, Ikuto had thought that the man had found the door. If he did then he never showed it.

Amu stared hard at the man in front of her. Never once had she questioned whether or not she'd made the right decision by swearing to go with him wherever he went. Her life had been nothing but one dull party after another and now it was filled with adventure and love, the physical and emotional kind. While studying his face, Amu prayed that she'd never have to remember it so perfectly because Ikuto wasn't there beside her.

Feeling her gaze upon him, Ikuto sent Amu a playfully evil look. He enjoyed making faces at her when they were supposed to be silent. The pinkette had gotten fairly good at laughing silently or just smiling when he did so. Although, sometimes her smiles put a glint in her eye that he knew pretty well. She would pay him back for his teasing one day when he least expects it.

On the third day of their imprisonment underground, the man didn't show up. Ikuto and Amu stared hopefully at the cameras all day long before Ikuto finally sighed with relief. "I'll go check it out. Stay put."

Amu nodded and hugged him quick. The man didn't smell too bad considering they were trapped in a hole together. She probably smelled a lot worse than he did.

The shed was empty. The yard was empty. Ikuto even stood outside the door of the shed in plain view for a full minute before he went back for the pinkette. She handed him the bags before climbing out herself. They snuck through backyards until they got to a car they had parked four blocks away and didn't stop driving for hours.

When Ikuto finally pulled over, Amu was sleeping. He'd found a small shabby looking motel that looked as though it could never have rich people wanting to stay at it. The place was perfect down to the dead tree out front. After talking to the clerk, Ikuto drove them around back to where the door to their room was. He carried Amu inside and laid her on the bed before he went back for their bags. With one last look around, he shut the door and bolted it with all four locks.

Amu woke up to having her hair washed. She sat in front of Ikuto in the bath tub, completely naked, while he washed away their time in the hole. "Ikuto? Why didn't you just wake me up?"

Ikuto sighed but didn't pause in his scalp massage. "I tried several times but you're a heavy sleeper when you're exhausted so I just went ahead and put you in the tub."

Amu felt her face heat up slightly, but tried to shake it off. It sounded like it wasn't that big of deal so she shouldn't make it one.

Ikuto felt her relax against him again. He knew that she hadn't gone back to sleep, which was a very good thing too since he'd been holding himself back while she was asleep. "So now that I no longer feel as though I'm molesting an innocent child…"

Amu almost moaned at the feeling of his lips brushing her bare shoulder as he spoke. Then his words sunk in. "You think I'm an innocent child?"

"Only when you're sleeping."

Amu turned her head to stare into his eyes. Ikuto looked completely serious. She didn't know if that was a good thing or not, but so far she wasn't liking the sound of that. "I guess I have two options." His quizzical face almost made her laugh but she held onto her serious expression as she continued. "I can either prove that I'm not or I can play the role perfectly."

Like a kitten in a cage just begging to be taken home, Ikuto looked as though he was pleading silently for option one. He didn't outright say anything. On some deep level he understood that she was teasing him and that what he wanted to happen was also what she wanted to happen.

Amu slid her tongue across her lips before she twisted in his lap to face him. With bent knees, she straddled him before using his shoulders as leverage to lean her upper body back so she could dunk the top of her head in the water to get all the soap out. Knowing that her breasts were perfectly on display for the man in front of her, Amu took her sweet time.

Ikuto did his best to hold back. He knew that she was stretching out in front of him to test him, to see if he could handle being with her and not always molesting her. Oh God how he wanted to run his hands over her slick body and feel her around him once again.

Believing that all the soap was now gone, Amu sat back up and stared into Ikuto's lustful eyes. "Did I get it all?"

Ikuto had to force his eyes to the top of her head to check for any signs of remaining soap. "I think-"

His words never made it the rest of the way out of his mouth as Amu crushed her lips against his. Her hardened nipples pressed against his bare chest, making her moan at the friction their breathing caused.

Ikuto shifted down so that she could sit on top of him rather than in front of him. Four days was a long time to wait, they'd gone longer before, but four days was still a long time to wait. Especially when every moment of those four days is spent together. Now she was pressed against his body as if not even a hurricane could rip them apart.

Amu held his head between her hands as she tilted it back just enough to have the perfect angle to shove her tongue into his mouth. They battled for a little while until Amu gave up and allowed the tease under her to do as he wished. Ikuto took her sign of obedience as a signal to let his hands do as they wished as well.

Skimming up her sides, they came to rest on her shoulders before brushing their way softly down her arms. His fingers traced patterns across her stomach and swirled up and down her back before leaving burning paths around her thighs. He was purposely avoiding her most sensitive areas but lighting a fire throughout her body despite that fact.

"Ikuto."

He smirked into the kiss as she growled his name. So the pinkette had finally caught on to his little game. With the use of her hips, he pulled her closer so that her breasts were firmly planted against his chest.

Their kiss broke as Amu gasped for air. She stared down into his eyes before slowly lowering her body. She felt his hard erection slide right into her. Together they let out moans of relief. Neither one made any moves to carry on with the activity they were involved in. For the moment it was enough just to feel each other.

Then Amu flexed her muscles around him and Ikuto almost came right then and there. She'd paid him back and he knew it. Using the grip he had on her hips, Ikuto began lifting her up and letting her slide back down on his shaft. The friction was wonderful even if the water slowed their movements down a little.

Amu started out with her hands on his shoulders, but then she realized the same thing he had. The water in the tub was a hindrance. Thus in Amu's mind, it hand to go. Using what was left of her working mind, Amu figured that the drain was behind her so she let go of Ikuto's shoulders and leaned back on her hands, creating a new angle and giving her the chance to find the blasted plug and release the water.

Ikuto dipped his head down to lick and kiss her beautifully displayed chest laid out in front of him. Amu moaned at his touches but didn't give up her search for the damn drain. Her fingers moved slowly across the bottom of the tub in the direction of where she thought the drain was. The worst part was that she was quickly running out of length to use. She couldn't move away from the delicious feeling that Ikuto was creating by pounding into her but the water was in the way. She was just about to call a time out to get the damn water out of the tub so that Ikuto could fuck her properly when her fingers brushed against the small chain hooked to the plug. So this was an old bathtub that needed something like this.

Amu didn't even think before she yanked the chain and released the water. It drained quickly so Amu let herself land on her back. Her arms were just inside of Ikuto's legs and his thrusts didn't halt. She felt him shifting a little to get a better angle before he settled back into a steady rhythm. His legs were no longer next to her but rather under him so that he had the full force of his body at work.

"Yeah…. Mhmmmm…. Ikutooooooooooo!"

She squeezed around him causing a chain reaction to occur as he released deep inside of her. They panted as they rode out the waves of pleasure coursing through their linked bodies until Ikuto finally removed himself from deep inside her. He watched as his come leaked out of her rose pink slit. "Hey Amu, how come you haven't gotten pregnant yet?"

Amu stared up at the man that had just royally fucked her good in surprise. He was only thinking about this just now? Good thing she was responsible. "Back when we were staying in the house, Rima and I went to a pharmacy and she bought me about a year's worth of birth control. Actually I'm about to run out so we'll need to get more unless you want to start wearing condoms."

Ikuto tried to hide his surprise but he knew that he failed. She'd planned that far ahead and been right in her judgments. "How come you didn't tell me before?"

"You never asked."

He couldn't argue there. Although, the thought had crossed his mind a time or two during their time together, he'd never really spent any brain power on the mystery. "We can pick some up when we get to France."

Amu let out a small giggle before she sat up. She could feel the stickiness of their sex on her skin. "I just had a bath but now I need a shower."

Ikuto moved to his feet before he pulled her up and turned the water on. "I think I can help you out."

Amu smiled as he moved to kiss her. Strange how Ikuto was so willing to help every time she needed to shower or bathe. It didn't bother her in the slightest, although sometimes she wanted to do things herself. "I think I can help myself this time lover boy."

Ikuto pretended to pout but gave her space so that Amu could wash her body properly without any extra feeling or touching. He didn't mind in the slightest when she asked to do things herself, although not touching her was difficult. Especially the way she moved the soap slowly across her skin. Her movements made him want to pin her against the wall and force her to allow him to do everything for him. Someday he might actually give in to that temptation, but for now he was bound and determined to remain strong.

Amu knew exactly what she did to him. Not only could she see it in his eyes and expression, but his little self was standing at full attention. Purposely, Amu dropped the soap. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to hold back, she got on her knees to retrieve it. With the slippery item clasped in her hands, she looked up at him through her full lashes. That's when Ikuto lost it.

His body seemed to thrust forwards on its own accord, but Amu was not only willing to accommodate it, but also expecting to do so. She took him deep into her hot mouth and swallowed around him before sliding him slowly out across her tongue. She licked and sucked and kissed and nipped all around his erection before she swirled her tongue across the tip.

Ikuto wasn't certain how his legs were still holding him upright. He dug his hands into her wet hair to hold himself steady while Amu went to town. He'd always joked that practice makes perfect but this was ridiculous. Amu knew exactly what to do to make him go weak at the knees. If this continued for too much longer, he was going to buckle and she very well knew it too. "Oh God Amu!"

Amu couldn't very well let the man just fall down so she did the next best thing. She made him come. Taking him all the way into the back of her throat, Amu swallowed once. Twice. Three times and on the fourth was rewarded with his hot come sliding down her throat. She drank it all before licking him clean and standing up with the soap.

Without a word, she finished her shower and left him there still in a daze. She'd paid the man back in full for his teasing in the shelter and from when they were in the house. Point proven, Amu could also put Ikuto in a daze where he didn't realize that she wasn't there anymore.

Ikuto knew very well that she'd planned most of that; he also knew that he was going to have to think up something else to do to her to make sure that this scenario happened again and again.

XXX

"Don't you think that we've gone far enough? I want to sleep in a bed tonight and not the backseat of this tiny car."

Ikuto tried to hold back his own crankiness. There wasn't a hotel for them to stop at nearby. If she wanted a bed then she'd have to wait. If she wanted to sleep then the back seat was still open. "Sorry honey, but either you wait or take what's available."

Their drive through Germany had been beautiful and Amu had made certain to take plenty of pictures of everything. Now she was ready for some different scenery but first they had to get to France. "You know who is still in Paris, don't you?"

Ikuto kept his gaze out the windshield. "Tadase."

"Yep! Are we going to try and see him?"

Ikuto about pulled the car over. "What makes you think that he's changed at all since we sent him away? What makes you think that he isn't already working for your mother and just waiting for us to show up so that he can turn us in?"

Amu got a kick out of Ikuto's reaction. She'd thought that maybe he was still a little jealous about the things that had happened back in the beach house but this was ridiculous. "Something tells me that he's a changed man by now. I mean we did give him a rainbow mohawk. I doubt we have to worry about him."

Ikuto still wasn't convinced. He didn't like the sound of meeting with someone that they knew had connections with Midori, but maybe they could risk this. It would be nice to see how the little twerp had changed if he had at all. "Alright fine. We'll look him up when we get to France."

Amu only smiled in response. Tadase wasn't someone she particularly wanted to see, but it was probably better that they did just in case he could become an ally of theirs during their life on the road.

.

Morg: Oh snap! Do you think Tadase is really going to help you out?

Ikuto: Probably not.

Amu: You never know! He's a good guy.

Morg: -.-

Ikuto: Not at all.

Amu: Whatever! Review please!
