Keep reviewing minna. Arigato. ^^

The possibilities of what actually happened are endless. If there's one thing for sure, Amu didn't kiss him. He must have made a sneak attack on her. Heartless Bastard.

I've got to forget about it because Christmas is tomorrow. Maybe I could use this as an advantage to approach her with the topic.

I inhale deeply, then sigh; my face solemn. To no avail am I able to ignore these troublesome conflicts. Bad luck is a magnet towards us. To my own surprise Amu walks downstairs, and placidly sets herself next to me on the soft couch. I look curiously at her face; it's fairly flushed. My irritation increases, yet again.

"Hey Ikuto." Amu says with her face still flushed. "Hi." I say in an almost inaudible voice. "Christmas is almost here. Are you excited?" her face is focused completely on mine as she awaits my response. "Kind of, but not really." I respond coolly. "Oh I see." She answers, with an obvious load of disappointment. I frown sadly, feeling a load of remorse possess me as well. Amu looks so affected by my harshly rude words, that mistakenly seemed to escape my mouth.

"I'm curious to see how you'll like my gift." I say with a shy smile. Amu smiles beautifully while saying, "same here". She's almost too easy to impress. The silence is broken between the two of us when Ichiro walks downstairs quickly. Amu's smile fades as soon as she notices him.

"Amu-Chan, Ready for our date?" He quickly grabs her hand, then swiftly changes his other hand to around her waist. Amu has a grim look within her flawless face as she sighs, and nods. Shit. My life is so damn complex.

The end of this chapter for now. More coming. Review please.
