Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter guys, I loved each and everyone of them, although I didn't reply because there was this weird thing happening, it would show up as error =.=" But I really appreciate all the positive reviews and all the encouragement that you guys are giving me because these past few months, I actually considered quitting...

That's why I didn't update for months...and months...and-well you get it XD

Well read on and review :D

Normal POV

"Or in words you understand, Ikuto is mine and willl always be mine."

Lulu wanted to make sure that what she said gets absorbed into Amu's brain; she wanted to make sure that Amu wouldn't fall for Ikuto again so that she won't lose him. Lulu straightened herself, and looked at Amu, who seemed to have been stunned by a stun gun.

"I w-would never take him away from you, you're his f-fiancée already…"

"I hope so, Amu. I just hope so. Because the minute I find out you are seducing him," Lulu grabbed the pocket sized mirror that was in Amu's desk and broke it into pieces using her bare hand, causing her hand to bleed a little. "that is what will happen to you, I swear it. Do you understand?"

Amu stared at her disbelievingly. Lulu was sure a lot stronger than she appears, Amu's first impression of her is that she's a spoiled daddy's girl, which she is, but she never thought that Lulu would be more than that.

"Y-y-yes." Amu replied staring into Lulu's bleeding hand.

Lulu grinned deviously. "Good girl, Amu. Well, that is all, I'm…leaving, I have no more business here."

With that statement, Lulu made her way out of Amu's office, shutting the door with a loud 'bang'

Amu stood there frozen on the spot, as if still processing what happened in her brain. And what she didn't get was, when Lulu said that Ikuto belonged to her, Amu felt a sharp pain in her chest. She had no idea why that happened; she knew she shouldn't have felt that way. Could it be possible…that she was falling for Ikuto?

Impossible, Amu thought.

Amu felt like she needed to take a break, she grabbed her purse and left her office, Nadeshiko hasn't been seen all day, Amu assumed that she was absent so Amu needed to do everything alone today, no helping hand, no shoulder to lean on after her encounter with Lulu.

Amu was about to take the elevator when she felt a hand squeeze her shoulder, she looked back to see that it was none other than Ikuto himself.

"Where are you going?" Ikuto asked.

"To wherever I want to go." Amu replied irritated.

"We have a date, remember?" Ikuto reminded her.

The hell, Amu thought.

"I don't remember you asking me out."

"You told me to prove myself, and that's exactly what the date is for."

Amu scoffed. Ikuto rolled his eyes, guess he had to use force to persuade Amu. Ikuto lifted Amu and flung her over his shoulder. Amu struggled and squirmed out of his grip but he was too strong for her.

"P-p-p-ut me down, you pervert!"

"No. I'm taking you with me."

Amu couldn't do anything, if she screamed, that wouldn't work, and it would only cause a scandal. She had no other choice but to let Ikuto spirit her away to wherever the hell he was taking her.

Ikuto made his way in the parking lot, and headed to his car, he opened the front seat and placed Amu down and he swiftly entered the driver's seat and locked the car doors, preventing Amu from escaping, then he backed his car up and started driving.

"Hey! You stop right now! Where are you taking me?"

"Do you trust me?"

"What?"

"Do you trust me?" Ikuto repeated, keeping his eyes on the road.

Yes, that was the immediate answer that entered Amu's mind.

"W-well, you're decent enough."

She expected Ikuto to make another remark but no reply came. Amu was quiet while Ikuto was driving; this scene…seemed so familiar to her as if it happened before. [A/N: I'm referring to chapter 2...I think]

Amu turned her attention on her window, she stared out the city buildings as the car drove by. Then Amu noticed that the weather was soft and fair, not hot but not cold either just right, but the sky was slightly darkening.

I wish it would snow, Amu thought.

Amu snapped out of it when she felt the car pull to a stop. She looked around where the car had stop and saw that there was this really big house. Ikuto unlocked the car door and got out.

"Come on." Ikuto muttered.

"Is this your house? Wow! It's like 30 times bigger than mine! You live here alone?" Amu sounded as excited as a toddler on its first day of school.

Amu caught Ikuto smirking slightly. "Yep, it is. And yeah I do, I don't like any company...well...except for you, of course"

"Pervert!"

At least the odd atmosphere wore off, Ikuto thought.

Ikuto chuckled and grabbed her hand. Amu gasped as she saw the inside, it was as fancy as the outside of the house. Amu caught sight of a small emerald velvet box in the center table and wanted to ask Ikuto what it was, out of her curiosity but she decided against it, thinking that he would make a stupid remark.

"So...what am I doing here again?"

"I want you to spend the night here."

"Hell no."

.

Ikuto's POV

"Hell no."

For some odd, fucked up reason, I liked that answer. It was like she was challenging me, which makes it more interesting. After all these years, Amu still hasn't learned that I always win. And I mean always.

"Buuuuuut, Amu-"

"I told you not to call me in that tone!"

"If you spend the night...maybe I'll stop calling you that."

"Maybe?" Amu gave me a stern look.

I just merely smirked at her. I needed her to be here until tomorrow, or until Utau arrives, I called her again and she told me that there was a conflict with her schedule so she won't be able to make it today but she promised me she would try again tomorrow and that's enough for me. If Amu doesn't recognize me, maybe Utau's high pitched screaming will bring back some old memories that would trigger something in her brain and hopefully bring back something. Yes, I'm that desperate...

"Hey, did you hear me?" Amu asked as she waved her hand in front of my face.

"What?"

Amu rolled her eyes. "I said, I'll stay with you but you have to promise me to keep away from me in the office."

"We'll see."

"I need a yes, Ikuto. Not a we'll see."

I smirked at her again.

"WHAT?" Amu asked, frustrated.

"You called me by my first name..."

Amu covered her mouth. And turned her back on me. "Just show me where I sleep tonight."

"With me, of course. In my bed. Together."

"Hell no. By doing that, I'm probably asking to be raped by you. " Amu snapped.

"You wanted me to rape you?" I smirked again.

"No! You..I...-damn you."

After that, the lighting in my house went a little dim, then it shut off completely. The blackout, just in time.

"Oh my God! I can't see anything!" I heard Amu shouting.

I reached for her in the darkness, then I grabbed something. I squeezed it...what are these? Twin balls or something? Before I could squeeze it again, someone kicked in in the place where men don't want to be kicked.

"Shit." I muttered.

"You PERVERT! Are you trying to molest me or something? Grabbing my chest like that!"

Then the lights went on, I looked at Amu, her face was flushed from either embarrassment or anger, I couldn't tell. Then she started to storm off, making her way to the door.

"Wait! Amu! Wait! I-OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

.

Amu's POV

"Wait! Amu! Wait! I-OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

I turned to look at him. My anger was immediately replaced with concern, Ikuto stumbled causing him to grab the huge vase for balance but then the vase went down with him above it causing it to break into pieces and pierce his shirt, injuring his chest. I dropped my purse and helped him up, then I settled him on the sofa.

"I'm calling a doc-"

"No," he gripped my hand. "all I need is you."

"But-"

"Stay." he cut me off again.

"Okay, but I'm treating that."

He let go of my hand and I went to the kitchen. I opened the drawer and found a first aid kit. I'm not very good at this but at least I have enough knowledge. I poured some alcohol on the cotton ball and dabbed it at his chest, I felt Ikuto wince, then he started to back away.

"Hold still." I told him.

He did as he was told for once, after that he didn't say anything, causing an uncomfortable silence between us...yet again, an uncomfortable silence and a strained atmosphere.

"Amu?"

Thank God, he spoke.

"Yes?"

"Do you care about me?" Ikuto asked.

I could hear the eagerness in his voice, the Ikuto in front of me is different from the Ikuto who's always playing around.

"Of course, you're my boss and-"

"Not that," he cut me off. "I mean do you care about me? Like you really care not just because I'm your boss."

The look on his face made my heart trip. Yes, my heart tripped. What's this feeling? A feeling I can't explained formed inside me. This felt so wrong yet somehow it was right. But that couldn't be, how can something so wrong be so right? From experience, something wrong is never right.

"I don't know, Ikuto."

"How can you not know?"

"I just don't. And besides, it doesn't matter, I'm no one to you, just another one of your producers, nothing more than that." I stated.

"You're more than that to me."

"No...just no."

We came face to face when I looked up at him.

"I told you that I loved you."

"Sure you do." I replied quite sarcastically.

"Yeah I do."

"Do you even know what sarcasm...-mfff."

It took my brain a minute or two to realize the situation. I was cut off because he kissed me. He kissed me. Even when I realized, I didn't pull away, I couldn't. Pulling away from this kiss is like asking the sun to never shine anymore, yes, it was that wonderful. Somehow, this kiss from a stranger was familiar, I don't know how, but...it's familiar. When I snapped out of my reverie, I realized that I was kissing him back. Before this lead to something else, I pulled away.

"Stop. This is wrong." I said breathlessly.

"It's not wrong if your heart thinks it's right." Ikuto replied.

"Stop! Just stop! You're twisting me, manipulating me into liking you! You're manipulating me to like you, a total stranger."

Ikuto stared at me, as if he was reading my facial expressions, as if he was trying to find a hidden meaning there somewhere. But what I said was true, he was a total stranger to me but my heart said likewise, and I even enjoyed his kiss. If Lulu ever found out what was happening between us now, I would be roadkill.

"That box, hand me that." Ikuto pointed at the emerald box I saw earlier.

I stood up and picked the velvet box up then handed it to him, Ikuto opened it revealing a diamond engagement ring, and by the looks of it, it must have been the most expensive one in whatever store he bought it from.

"This is why what we're doing is wrong. Because you and Lulu are-"

"This isn't for Lulu, Amu," Ikuto interrupted me. "it was for you."

I stared at him as if he lost his sanity.

"F-for me?" Hey, I could have heard wrong.

"Yes, for you." he replied softly.

I could literally feel my cheeks burning up, and I'm guessing it did. Ikuto wrapped his arms around my waist and this time, I didn't stop him, maybe I was just too caught up in the moment, no, scratch that, I want this. Ikuto leaned down again, I know he was going to kiss me again, and I made no protests this time.

When our lips were so close that I could feel his breath, we're only inches apart, but then the main door burst open, stopping our actions, I whirled around to see a someone dragging a suitcase into the house, I couldn't see the face but the body figure belongs to a woman, so she's a girl, when she pulled the suitcase again, I saw a flash of blonde, and I only know one blonde.

The blonde I never wanted to see again: Lulu.

There we go, I updated...finally XD

The ending felt a little rushed but whatever, I'm too lazy to redo it and I left another cliffhanger, yeah I'm that evil :P

Give me encouragement, you guys, because I still feel like quitting :l

Well, as usual, review :D
