LOL'd on inkwolf22's song version...

Ikuti: Hey, I just met you...and this is crazy, be mine Amu and have my babies~

Amu: Keep dreaming you perverted bloodsucker.

Ikuto: I shall, though I don't know why when I know its going to happen, I mean who can resist...?

Amu: Hey, if you haven't noticed I can...

To be honest...I have no idea on the pairings in this fic. The only one - which is quite obvious - is KuKamu...lol, jk. Amuto, duh. *dodges angry Amuto fangirl mob* Well, the pairings shall just kind of 'fall' into place. Kutau? Rimahiko? Kima/RuKai/Kaima - honestly, I've never even looked at this couple...what's their usual name smashing? SOMEONE TELL ME. Who knows who shall end up together? (Seriously, I don't.)

And that curse? Ahh, Ikuto, don't think I forgot about it 'cause I know I didn't. That curse, you shall see. "What you cannot control is something you cannot handle; the pain of another hurts you deeply." (lol, pretty clever, eh? No? Whatever, it might have something to do with the story, it might not.)

Um. Amuhiko. 'Nuff said.

~LonelyButLovely

"Bring on the flaming fans!" were the last words of the poised authoress, last seen running from Amuto fans...

I'm so tired. So tired I can't even think. Wait, I'm thinking. Whatever, technicalities. And what the hell is a Monday? I don't even...

"Well, you look like crap."

I yawned. I don't think I'm in the right state of mind to be responding clever snips. "Ditto."

He chuckled. "Why so grumpy?"

"Don't bother me." I was too exhausted to argue today. Too tired to do anything. Maybe I should've just stayed in bed today. Ugh...

"Look on the bright side," Ikuto offered. "This the last day until Winter Break."

"I know," I held onto him, leaning my head on his arm tiredly. "I don't think I can make it."

He patted my head. "You'll be fine. You have me after all."

"Is that supposed to be a good thing?" I groaned. "Just kill me already."

Ikuto laughed. "I could just take a bite of you right now."

Through my sleepy haze, I can't even remember for the life of me what I said. But I'm here, in my bed, warm and cozy. I can't say I'm not thankful because I really am. I'm not even going to wonder what he did. Or what I did for that matter. I'll probably think about it later. Right now, I could just sleep. Forever. I don't even know why I'm so tired anymore. That group date was a couple days ago, it surely didn't have anything to do with this right? And I can't really sleep all day seeing as I have to go on that date tonight...
I sat up.

"D-date?" I shook my head. "Oh, gosh! I-I totally spaced...what time is it?"

Well, on the bright side, I had a little under an hour left. How long did I even sleep? How did I let Ikuto convince me to...

"Go ahead then."

A flash of surprise. Both of us stopped walking. "What?"

I leaned towards him, narrowing my eyes. "Bite me."

"You're kidding," he held me back. "You're just kidding, right Amu? Amu?"

"I'm not kidding, Ikuto," I tightened my hands around his arms. "Bite me, I mean it."

"You're just tired," he pulled me along. "Come on, let's get going. we'll be late - "

I dug my heels into the ground. "I'm not kidding you kidder. Just bite me. Come on, I'm offering. Just do it."

Ikuto looked at me for a long time. I tried the 'look.' He did it to me all the time and got precisely what he wanted. So why couldn't I? (Given I wasn't in the right state of mind...look everyone, don't lecture me, I regretted this all later) The longer I waited, the more I wanted him to. "Amu..."

"Please...Ikuto..." I whispered as if I were about to tear up. "Just this once."

"It's not something I particularly enjoy doing," he warned me. "Don't do this, Amu. If not for my sake then at least think about yours."

I shook my head and brought my hands around his neck. "I just...please..."

Ikuto sighed and closed his eyes. Opening them, "Okay."

Oh no.

No no no no no no no no.

NO! I brought my hands to my cheeks. I was a bit clammy and probably flushed like a cherry. I quickly went to my mirror. Oh, Ikuto, no no no. What kind of idiotic vampire would listen to my request even if I sounded desperate? Why would he let me say that stuff? Why would he listen to me? Why did he...

"Well I'm a genius," I moaned letting my head fall onto the mirror.

[Quite the contrary, I think you're rather idiotic.]

"I know," I gritted my teeth knowing I was not in the mood today. My head throbbed already.

[Just to make sure you have yourself set straight.]

"Have you been there the entire time?" I turned on the water and splashed some on my face. "You could've done something you know, stopping me from being a complete idiot earlier."

[Learn from your mistakes, however, do note I did not enjoy the experience as well. I could not do anything myself as I cannot control you.]

"You did before," I pointed out.

[Possession takes a lot of energy that I do not have in order for me to do so.]

"Oh, really?" I huffed drying my face in a towel. "What do you want anyway? Why do you want to bother me so much?"

There seemed to be a moment of silence. [I am you and you are me.]

Great. So in other words, I'm talking to myself. Well isn't that just fantastic? In that case, conversations with myself are extremely irritating. I must take note of that.

[I beg your pardon; irritating? Me?]

"No, no," I quickly changed into a more casual and fitting attire. "The other voice in my head of course."

Was that a laugh? [Though it could be taken offensively, I find it too amusing to be offended.]

I harrumphed as I opened my drawer where my unopened makeup bag lay. It beckoned me as it sat there, all pink and happy. I sighed. Maybe it's time to use some feminine charm. I don't know, the closest thing to makeup I come to everyday is chap stick. So this stuff...well, if I look like a clown, blame my nonexistent feminizing skills.

I began applying silver eyeliner and hopefully it looked nice - Rima said it made my eyes pop out. I dusted on shimmery eye shadow and then put some blush on my cheeks and added a swish of lipstick. I frowned, then smiled, then pouted...I guess I was kind of cute. I wiped the make-up off. No. No make-up because I can't apply it for sh*t and you'd laugh at me for my attempt at being pretty. So...what to wear and what I have. That's difficult. I don't know how to dress nice. Honestly, I hardly packed any 'outing' clothes.

But I couldn't go wrong with a dress, right? I quickly pulled the light blue spaghetti strap dress on and then put on my white cotton sweater. This is well, kind of sexy right? Should I go for sexy or cute? Sexy is pretty bold so maybe I'll go for cute...

I quickly pulled the dress off and stood in my bra and underwear, rifling through my closet for anything to wear. I'll just go for cute. I don't want to be too overwhelming. But not too cute or else I'll seem childish. What do girls wear on dates again? Uhh...

I pulled out a t-shirt and stared at it. Plain. Simple. Too simple. I threw it behind my head and looked some more.

There was a knock. In my very distracted mind, I turned from my closet and opened the door in exasperation. Was he here already? I thought I had - he's early, oh god, he's early! He smiled at me then blinked. Repeatedly. I must've stood there for about a million years before I realized I was half-naked. Haha...

I slammed the door and turned around, blushing madly. I hit my forehead with my hand and groaned. Fantastic first impression. I looked on the floor, grabbing a dark blue knit cowl sweater dress, struggling into black leggings, tripping over my feet and landing on my bum. I quickly whipped my hair into a (hopefully) funky ponytail, patted my stray hairs down and slipped on my boots, grabbing my white jacket and swishing chap stick on my lips. That's the closest I'll probably ever get to applying my own makeup. Maybe I should've paid attention in high school. I took a deep breath and opened the door with a smile.

"I'm so sorry," I said stepping out. "Let's say we just forget what happened just now and begin our memories at this very moment, okay?"

Nagi laughed, holding out his arm. "Okay, okay. I'm here to pick you up...are you ready?"

I shut my door and slipped my arm through his. "Most definitely."

I'm not going to kid you. This has got to be one of the best days of my life. He took me to a park. A park. Like, I didn't even know it existed here. And let me tell you, it is the most wonderful park I've ever been to. A date in a park doesn't sound fancy enough for you? Well, you're missing out on a lot. First off, the quiet. This park is so quiet we're actually the only two here. It's so peaceful compared to my roller coaster ride of life with Ikuto; he was always giving me new surprises whenever I woke up on a new day or there to see me off good night. It was an exhausting day with Ikuto all the time, he kept me on my toes though. And it was kind of fun.

Second, we are the only two here - did I mention that? Well, it is such a good point I was just dying to tell you again. And, gosh, I love how quiet it is. I'm so tired of everything...it's like he can read my mind - which wouldn't really be that much of a surprise. I mean, come on guys, finding out your friend was a vampire? Really, what can top that? Nothing I know of.

We walked side by side, not touching but close. I was enjoying this. It's not like most dates I've been told - or read - about. This is a really quiet, uneventful date; just my kind of thing. I was probably smiling as he chatted away. Hopefully I don't seem too stupid. Or quiet. Oh my. Look at that gorgeous thing. It's just...so fantastic.

Nagi paused then smiled a little. "Did you want to go on that?"

I looked at him then back at the bars. "Oh, I-I don't know. I mean, you know, but..." I can't even form a sentence. Seriously?

Nagi laughed. I decided I liked his laugh. It was kind of soothing in a boy-ish way. (Can a laugh be soothing?) "Well, it's a small park. We were bound to find it sometime. While we're here, we might as well..."

I like how he said 'we' and not just 'you.' It made me feel like less of a child and more of a friendly big kid. Whatever that means. "Yeah, we totally should."

I grinned to myself as I began climbing the metal structure. Oh goodness, I just love playgrounds. Don't you? I mean, the slides and swings and those twirly things...these places are so forgotten these days. They're so simple and perfect. Tell me, where was your first date? Was it perfect?

"Are you coming or not?" I was almost to the top now.

"I'm right here," he said from next to me.

I almost let go. He caught my hand and smiled gently. I blushed lightly. "I didn't even notice..."

Nagi chuckled to himself and we finished our journey to the top. Both of us sat on metal bars, swinging our legs freely in the air. Was I supposed to put my head on his shoulder? Err, would that be too forward? What if I fell in the process? Embarrassing. What should I do with my hands? Should I hold his?

"You know, Amu, you're really simple," Nagi commented.

"Good thing or bad thing?"

He held my hand. "Good thing; you're different. I like that about you."

"Different...how?" Was it because I lacked socializing skills?

"Well, for starters, when we ate earlier, you didn't order the food with the least calories," as he said that my heart pounded slightly. My hand...hopefully I don't sweat like crazy. "You wanted that because you thought it would be delicious, right?"

"Um, yeah," I nodded slowly. Was there a point to this?

"You know, most girls I've dated would've order a salad or something..."

I involuntarily made a face. "I hate salad."

"Not a vegetarian, I see," he squeezed my hand and looked at me.

"Not particularly," I turned my head as well. Looking at his lips to his eyes, I then began leaning in...was this too soon? It felt just right though...

He leaned in as well, our eyes slowly closing.

"Wah!" I slipped as I turned on the bar. What? Oh, god, just like I thought. I slipped of all things.

He began climbing down then held out his arms to me. "Jump!"

I let go and fell backwards through the air. My stomach flipped and caught in my throat as he caught me, stumbling back slightly. Maybe I should've laid off the pasta...

He set me down. I was probably red as ever now. I twirled a strand of my hair. "Hehe, sorry. I'm a bit of a klutz."

"No, that's alright," he patted my head. "It's cute. I just think you're cute and I'm glad I met you."

C-cute? "I'm happy I got to meet you too," I replied not sure what to say.

He looked at the sky as it began to just turn orange. We had already spent a lot of time together, didn't we? I can't believe it myself. I can't believe I missed out on our kiss though. Maybe we'll get a second chance. I don't know. Hopefully?

"I've got one last place to show you," he took my hand and led me to the bustling city streets again. Had we not been that far from here? I didn't hear any of this.

"Where are we going?" I asked holding his hand.

"A special place," was all he said.

A special place? Hmm. You know, I've never really been one for surprises. Then again, I've always been a romantic dork who believes that someday someone will sweep me head over heels like they do to the heroin in my amines, books and mangas. I really can't help but love my two-dimensional characters and wish they were real. I'm sure you've done the same...but maybe one day someone will love me in a way I can love them back.

True love really is just a fabricated fairytale, huh?

"Okay, close your eyes."

I closed them.

He squeezed my hand reassuringly and pulled me along slowly. Knowing me, I'd probably trip over air. Or a rock. You know, either or. The sounds of the city began getting quieter, the sound of my breaths getting louder. The cold air gently blew by, slightly chilling my legs. I felt the crunch of grass under my feet and could hear the small sounds of rustling leaves. Strange...I kind of feel as if I've done this before.

"Okay - "

"Open them?"

"No, watch out for the uneven ground," he laughed quietly.

"Oh," I felt my cheeks flare in embarrassment.

We walked for a few moments more in quiet then he stopped. "Now open."

I opened.

"What do you think?"

I observed the surroundings. Let's see...tree, tree, tree, bush, oh! Is that a - never mind, tree, tree...was I missing something here? I looked at him in confusion. He was looking up. I followed his gaze to the opening in the trees and gasped. Stars...stars appeared on the darkening sky. Except, the stars were moving...and the stars weren't stars. The tiny lights began descending and started surrounding us. I widened my eyes as the lightening bugs began twinkling their lights and began filling the area with their light. They seemed to create a ring of light around us - like magic. It was breathtaking really.

"Wow..." was all I managed to say. I mean, really, I can't seem to think any complete sentences at the moment.

[Amu?]

It's just so beautiful. My heart warmed.

[Amu.]

"Nagi, it's..." what? Wonderful? That just doesn't seem as powerful...

Nagi smiled at me leaning down, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"B-beautiful?" Oh my gooshiness, have I told you how much I love his smile! It's just so wonderful and sexy. Not like Ikuto's sexy smirk, no of course not, but a kind and tender kind of smile that just sends my heart a flutter. "I...it's..."

"You don't like it?" He asked genuinely surprised.

"No! I love it!" I quickly told him. "I can't even describe...how this makes me feel..."

"Well, how about this..." he took my face in his hands (no, I don't mean he ripped it off) and planted his lips on mine.

[Amu!] her voice faded along with my thoughts as all I could think about was his kiss. It was like fireworks going off in my head and a warm flame starting in my heart, warming my insides. I slowly brought my hands around his neck and tangled my fingers in his silky hair. He brought me closer, circling his hands around my waist. My heart sped up as my face flushed. Was this how far you went on a first date?

He kissed my neck tenderly.

Ah, what the hell right?

I tightened my hands slightly, enjoying this very much. I'm feeling so fuzzy...hehe, I've never made out with anyone with such passion before, you see. If this is what's it's like, I think I'd like to do it more often.

Amu, stop. Amu. Are you listening? Stop it now.

Eh? Ikuto?

Stop what you're doing.

Ikuto...Nagihiko...ah...I'm so happy.

I can't reach you. Stop what you're doing.

What I'm...doing? I was pressed against a tree while Nagi warmed my body with his. A date? A simple date turned into this? Eh? That might seem like too much...

"N-ne...h-hold up..." I stammered pushing him slightly. "This...this is too much. Hey, stop it."

Nagihiko pulled back slightly, licking his lips and gazing at me through half-lidded eyes. It kind of made me want to throw myself on him again. He looks so enchanting...I mentally shook my head. He slowly dropped one of his hands. "Is something wrong?"

I shook my head slowly. "It's just...don't you think this is a bit much?"

"Are you uncomfortable?" he drew back a little.

"I-I...well, um, it's weird 'cause..." I tried to come up for a plausible explanation. "I've never done this before."

"Is that so?" He pulled away and looked at me curiously. "I'm sorry; that was rude of me. I didn't know that."

"No, it's kinda my fault too," I laughed nervously. "I just went along with it. But...um..."

"Wanna grab some ice cream?" He held out his hand.

"In the winter?" I grabbed his hand. "Definitely."

When I got back to my dorm, I found one very unhappy person.

"H-hi," I squeaked.

Ikuto narrowed his azure eyes at me and rose. "Do you know how worried I got?"

"It was j-just a k-k-kiss..." I stuttered feeling like a teenager getting scolded.

"I thought you'd still be sleeping when I got back from shopping buy apparently you weren't," he crossed his arms and stopped in front of me. "I couldn't find you either; Nagihiko blocked your signal and masked your scent. That worried me. I could barely find you until you entered some kind of barrier and a certain someone contacted me."

I looked down. Did I cause that much trouble? Ah, jeez.

He surprisingly wrapped me in his arms. "I was just worried, okay?" he whispered softly. "Don't go with him alone again, okay?"

I exhaled slowly and wrapped my arms around him to reassure him, closing my eyes. "Okay."

"Promise?"

"I promise."
