New chapter! I'm running out of ideas! He he...but I'll figure it out sometime. Anyway, new chapter! Yay! Fifth chapter! I decided to revise every chapter carefully from now on, so it might take a few more days to update. Let's get started now! I don't own Shugo Chara!
Ikuto comes everyday to visit me despite my warning. He never knocks on my door, and he doesn't inform Mrs. Yumori that he had come for a visit. So nowadays, Ikuto comes into my room alone, while Mrs. Yumori doesn't even know Ikuto is in my room. The only reason I don't make Ikuto get out of my room, is that he plays the violin for me, every time he visits. I try not to look like I'm enjoying the music, but I think he already knows that I do. I think Ikuto plays the violin just to rub in the fact that I like to hear the sound that his instrument makes. Ikuto always teases me too. He comments on how childish my book is or how I still like to play with stickers. At one point, it got so annoying, that I pushed him in my closet, locked it, and forgot to let him go until the next morning. So day by day, it went on like this, until Hoshina Utau came for a little talk with me one day.
I was lying on my bed, my eyes closed, and it was about 6:00 A.M. That was when loud footsteps outside my door rudely woke me up from my peaceful sleep. I heard the door of my room bang open, and someone's footsteps echoed through the silent room. I sleepily opened my eyes, slowly sat up on my bed, and saw Hoshina Utau in front of me. I thought I was dreaming, so I lied back down on my bed, pulling up the covers for warmth.
"Is your name Amu?" asked Utau, her voice sounded confident.
That was when I realized that this wasn't a dream. I sat up in my bed immediately, and stared at Hoshina Utau as if seeing a large lion in front of me.
"What's wrong with you? Are you deaf?" asked Utau, glaring down at me.
"Are you Hoshina Utau?" I barely managed.
"Isn't it rude to ask people what there name is before telling your own?" said Utau, still glaring down at me.
I slightly frowned. I had overcome my shock, and I had calmed down a little.
"Um, I'm Hinamori Amu. Are you Hoshina Utau?" I asked again.
"So, you're Amu. I came here to tell you to stay away from Ikuto. Nowadays, Ikuto doesn't come to my concerts. He used to come at least once a year. It's been four years, and he still didn't come to my concert. Not even once. I believe this is because of you, right? Ikuto was too busy looking after you to come to my concerts. I'm sure of it" said Utau, ignoring my question.
"Excuse me? Ikuto started visiting me two weeks ago, and I don't think all this is because of me..." I said. My confidence was failing me the more I looked into Utau's eyes.
"Now you're lying to me" said Utau, looking straight at me as if she could see what was in my heart.
"You don't have any evidence!" I said firmly, trying not to tremble at her glare.
"Well, I do. Ikuto keeps on coming home late, and once he didn't even come back home. I thought something was going on, so I asked one of my managers to investigate what Ikuto did everyday. My manager told me that nothing was out of ordinary except for the fact that Ikuto kept going into the hospital. At first, I thought he was sick, so I asked my mother about him. She told me that there was nothing to worry about, and that Ikuto was just visiting a girl named Amu at the hospital. Well, that had me staring at the ceiling and worrying about Ikuto all night. I couldn't sleep even a little. Four days ago, Ikuto didn't come home until it was morning, and that was the last straw. I tried to come and talk to you about this matter, but I was too busy to. Now I finally came here, Amu. Just what did you do to influence Ikuto this much?" said Utau, not looking like she was out of breath at all.
"Look, I can explain everything. I personally don't need Ikuto to visit me everyday. I-" I managed to say before Utau interrupted me.
"Ikuto visits you everyday? He doesn't even look at me until I go to his room!" said Utau, glaring at me even more.
"Okay, like I said-" I said, before Utau interrupted again.
"Look Amu, I don't need any of your explanations. I just want you to stay out of Ikuto's business, and never ever meet him again! Get it? This is my last warning!" shouted Utau, before she left the room, and closed the door with another bang.
I just stared at the wall in my room, before I started to analyze what had happened just now. This person who was obviously Hoshina Utau had come for a visit. Utau had warned me not to meet Ikuto ever again. What was Utau's relationship to Ikuto anyway? Then it hit me. Ikuto wasn't lying when he had said that Utau was his sister. Utau was Ikuto's sister. That was why she was so worried about him. I felt dazed, as if I had been hit by a shooting star. I lied back down in my bed remembering to talk about this incident with Ikuto, and ask him exactly what was going on. I closed my eyes, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
That was the first day I had met Utau in person, and she was one of the people I was going to have to deal with starting from now on as my life got more and more complicated.
"This is just not working! Forget it!" I said throwing the delicate violin across the room for the sixty-fifth time.
Ikuto was teaching me how to play the violin, because I had insisted, and my lesson with Ikuto was not going so well.
Ikuto caught the violin in mid-air, and laughed at me...again.
"I thought you wouldn't give up so easily, and yet you always surprise me" said Ikuto smirking.
"Who said I gave up? Give me the violin! I know I can do it this time" I said, as Ikuto handed me the violin.
I raised my arm to play, and as soon as the bow touched the strings there was an eerie noise vibrating all through the small room.
"I never saw anyone who couldn't play a note on the violin after this much time of practice" said Ikuto, looking at me with challenging eyes.
"Whatever! I'll just try next time. My condition is not very good today!" I said as I ignored Ikuto's look and gave the violin back to him.
There was silence in the room as Ikuto put away his violin.
"Ikuto, remember you said Hoshina Utau is your sister, right? She came to visit me yesterday. She said never to meet you again. What was that about?" I asked as Ikuto closed his violin case.
"She does that all the time. If I get too close to any girl she threatens that girl to stop meeting me. It's a pattern" said Ikuto as if this kind of question was asked everyday.
"We're not close, though. We've only met each other a few months ago. So why did she say those kinds of things to me?" I asked Ikuto.
"That's sad. Saying that we're not close after we've been together every day for almost two weeks" Ikuto said, getting closer to me.
I knew it was a joke, but I couldn't help blushing. Of course, Ikuto laughed...for the twenty-sixth time. I sighed. Ikuto was still laughing as he went out of my room, holding his violin case in his hands. Why did I have to always blush in front of Ikuto?
Chapter 5 finish! Does this story make sense? I personally think this story might not make sense to you. Well, you can always tell me if this doesn't make sense! Tell me which part doesn't make sense though! Am I too repetitive? Well, please review, and tell me what you think about this story! Thank you!
