Chapter Nine: Future Plans

"Ummm… what are you doing?"

He stands right in front of me smiling like a dweeb. He takes my hands in his and smiles, "Mind practicing with me as your prince?"

I look at him confused. I know I'm a bit tall for my age and actually working with someone that's a year or two younger than him and my brother.

I sigh, "No your hurt! Do you want me to let me to break it more?"

He goes completely stiff and I fall down laughing. He pulls out the towel that I had left on the floor and chucked it at me I glided out of the way and stick out my tongue.

I turn on the music again and start practicing again. He decided it was useless to try to talk me into letting me help me practice for try outs.

I stop to take a break and sigh. "Watching at how hard you practice and seem to becoming more one with your dance I think you'll become the youngest prima ballerina in history."

I shrug, "Oh did my brother tell you I may skip a grade or two all I have to do is go through prep courses after school and take a test every year to see if I'm understating everything."

He smiles and picks me up laughing, "Really I'm so proud of you Amu. This is great just think about how easy this is going to be. You always studied with me and your brother understanding most of the things we would work on. I somehow knew this was going to happen."

I laugh at him he had a huge ego for a junior in high school, things never change he'll always be glad of me.

(Ikuto)
She's just smiling like a fool telling me about her school plans and how she can skip a few years and be able to go to the dance art school that she wants to.

She was telling me that she was going to catch up to me faster than I thought, but I never would have guessed that she would be accepted to take the test for one of the top ranked schools.

I smile and can't help but to feel happy for her. I want to play one of my teasing games but she has gotten a real good arm. Also if she can't hit me she starts to play kick the guy anyone you can reach for a few days.

I sigh and just smile at her.

She starts her music again but this time it's the song 'Ava Maria' she didn't start dancing until it starts to pick up. I was surprised even though the tone of the song was louder and high noted it was smooth and slow.

She stayed serious and danced for as long as the song.

She seemed to love the composer because there was even more compositions playing after another.

When she looked back she didn't seem to realize how much she seemed to shine when she was at peace like this.

So I decided even with my bad wrist I want her to be happy, so I start to play at first it was really hard but after a while I got use to it and was able to maneuver better.

She seemed to relax when I got in control of my paying in her movements more.

It was beautiful.

She light up the room.

(Toshiro)

I was surprised when I saw Ikuto reach for his violin and started to play along with the compositions of Franz Schubert well my sister start to practice her dance piece for her entries to her new school next week that's if she passes the late entry exam.

Then she'll skip a grade or two counting by how high her grades are.

It's funny how those two act when they think no one is watching but I'm glad that Ikuto is keeping his hands off my little sister.

Everyone started to get loud when the song had finished and when my sister looked and saw us and Ikuto standing there still she fell silent but a smirk had formed on her lips.

When she saw Ikuto holding his violin even with his wrist cast up he was willing to play for her. Has she become his muse, his reason for playing again.

(Amu)

I was so surprised when I saw everyone standing behind me and I thought it was really funny but I was really worried when I spotted Ikuto holding his violin. I thought there was something different and more upbeat about the song

. I walk over to Ikuto and decide to do the unexpected for once I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him into a hug and smile up at him like when I was a lot younger, "Thank you Ikuto."

When I peeked into the reflection of my brother's reading glasses I see that for once Ikuto blushing.

YES! I feel so much better now.

I take his hand when I let him go and look at his cast, "Hey, Ikuto this thing looks empty how about letting everyone sign it and you can feel like people love you."

That made everyone laugh and Ikuto stared point blank at me and smirked, "Yea as long as you sign with love."

I smirked back at him mine more evil, "Oh really I don't know how I feel like writing with all my love or something."

Ikuto took a permanent marker and wrote with all my love on my forehead and smiled, "OK sign my cast I wrote all my love just for you."

I bet it looks like we are having a couples fight or something.

(Toshiro)

This is so funny my sister finally got some guts and started to tease Ikuto back for all those years he had spent teasing her when she was younger, but it seems to be a couples fight and even though I want them to be together because they are really close and rely on each other I see that with our friends there may be some problems.

(Ikuto)

This is kind of fun but I never thought that she would ever think about starting a teasing completion.

Still I think she'll be the one embarrassed by the end of this.

Wow she's been able to keep up with my antics for half an hour I never thought she would and even her friends are amazed that she is keeping her cool, but I know her I know that all I need is a little wind and she'll go toppling over.

So I lean over and kiss her on the cheek but close to the lips and she jumps back and touches where I kissed her…
