Chapter 10: The Kiss
Ikuto's POV
"Oh, and… hey I have another question…" she said twiddling her fingers "And what is that?" I said curious "Well…"..
"Well… how was our… first kiss?" Amu asked me fiddling her fingers and blushing madly "… Hey you look different, did you do something different with your hair?" I asked "Don't change the subject" she said flustered "Wow, you have the coolest furniture, where did you buy it?" I said looking around the living room "Oh, thanks, you know I bought them at a furniture store called…" she started to say until she realized something.
"HEY, don't change the subject!" she said "I did not, you changed it, you started to tell me about this interesting furniture store…" I said innocently "But… you changes the subject!" she said.
"I did not" I said
"Did too" she said
"Did not" I said
"Did too" she said
"Did too" I said
"DID NOT!" she said but then realizes what she said "I MEAN… DID TOO" she said "Nah, no, you said another thing" I said "JUST FORGET IT, and ANSWER MY DAMN QUESTION!" she said "Fine, fine… after a few problems were cleared, I was going to go find my father overseas, actually I took you on another date to tell you… I asked you out by a text message, which I think you didn't understand…" I said looking up while Amu makes the funny face again.
FLASHBACK:
Amu's POV
'The egg of dreams… The magical egg… Where did the Embryo…?'. I woke up saying "Embry…" while opening my eyes "Good Morning~~! Amu-chaaan!" said Su opening the curtains "Ack, bright!" I said covering my eyes from the sudden light "It's morning! Wake uppp! The weather is nice!" said Miki "Open-your-eyes-dance!" Ran cheered and then I sit up "Huh… the Embryo… a dream? Is this… my room?" I said rubbing my eyes. "What about Dia?" said Ran "She's still sleeping!" says Suu "Hmm, she's always going at her own pace" says Miki "After that…" I thought "That's right… I came home" I said remembering the director bowing to Ikuto, and also that Tadase and Ikuto became friends again.
"Even though we didn't find the Embryo…" I said relieved "It's over…" I thought then Ran breaks my train of thoughts "Amu-chan! You got a text!" she said holding my cellphone, and I grab the phone and check my inbox and see a strange address "…Who's this? I don't know this address" I said looking at the address, which is '19-10tsukidoto' "Hm? Wait a sec… spam?" I said "But the subject says 'To Amu'…" said Miki "One… nine… one… zero… that means… I… ku… to…[A/N: The translation por '19-10' are 'Ichi Kyuu Ichi Zero'. You can read 'Ichi Kyuu' as 'Iku' and the number '10' looks like 'To'… what do you get?]" I said but then freak out blushing madly "IKUTO!" I thought.
"Wai… what? From Ikuto? Ah, how does he know…" I started to say "Utau could have given it to him" Miki said "Calm down, Amu-chan!" Suu said "Y… yeah… that's right…" I said blushing "Ikuto…!" I thought while remembering some things "That was the first time I saw him like that… but… wh-why am I getting so excited?" I thought "Amu-chan, calm down!" Ran said "Why are you getting so nervous?" Miki asked "I… I know…" I said "It's just a text message…" I said opening the text:
To Amu,
It's nice out,
Isn't it.
"…What the heck…" I said staring blankly at the message "What's with that guy… ahh, man… I feel like I just lost…" I said "Amu-chan the three minute rule! [A/N: The 'Three Minute Rule' means you have to send a reply to a text in three minutes or your friendship is ruined!]" Ran said "Amu-chan breakfast!" mi mom said from downstairs "No, this is more irritating…" I said writing a message "… Sheesh…" I said sending the message.
MOMENTS LATER
I was outside the Royal Garden, relaxing "Ahh… such a nice weather today…" I said "Mm-hm…" Miki said "Desu!" Suu said when suddenly I receive a message "Ah… Ikuto again!" I said opening the message "J…jeez… what is it now?" I said blushing then I look at the message to look at an image of Yoru, but behind of him was a tea cup "…Tea?" I said with a blank face "Tea…" Ran said with a blank face "And this time, it's just a pic…" Miki said also with a blank face.
"What the heck… is he making fun of me? Oh, you numbskull! Treating me like an idiot!" I said frustrated "That's just…" Ran said "Amu-chan" Tadase said "Waugh!" I squeaked out in surprise "Ta-tadase?" I said surprised "Oh… sorry. Were you on the phone?" Tadase asked "No! Uh… this is, um… I just got a text from Ikuto! Isn't that stupid? Right?" I said showing him the picture "Amu, that's too desperate" Ran said "Cos she hid things from him" Suu said.
"I also got a text from Ikuto-nii-san. Something about him having fish for breakfast" Tadase said showing Amu a picture on his phone of a fish "Looks like the cell signal was dropped" Kiseki said "Ah… you got one, too? Huh… I see" I said "Why the heck? Wait- why the heck?" I thought "So hectic" said Ran.
"There's only a little time left in the third semester… we'll finally graduate" Tadase said "Yeah…" I said "After April, we'll be Middle Schoolers, huh… doesn't feel like it at all to me" I said "Same here" Tadase said "I wonder how it'll feel to be a middle schooler. Surely we'll change in many different ways" I said "That's right. We're… changing" Tadase said looking at the sky. "Amu-chan" Tadase said breaking up the tension "I love you" Tadase said looking at me "Wha—you- you're still saying that so suddenly?" I said surprised, blushing "And there it is for today!" Ran said "Oh god!" Miki said "Those feelings will never change… but, back then… when I was looking at you two… I understood something" Tadase said "Huh…? Tadase… what is he trying to say?" I thought "I won't lose to anyone who likes you. But… I realize that it's not about winning or losing. At that moment… I understood Ikuto-nii-san's feelings…to be proud to protect you…" Tadase said remembering the previous night. "Amu-chan, I'm always…right here for you. That's why you should choose your own path. Always follow… your 'would be' self" Tadase said.
Then I start to walk home "What are these feelings… why I couldn't say anything…" I thought "I wonder… it's not like I'm never gonna see him again… deep in my chest… there's a pain…" I said looking at the sky "So you've got gas?" a familiar cat-boy's voice said "Ikutoo!" I said looking up, finding him standing up in a wall-fence "Am I wrong?" Ikuto said with Yoru at his side holding a bad "N-no… I didn't say my stomach, I said my chest! Wait, what are you doing up there?" I said looking up at him "Ah… this place… that amusement park…" I thought.
Then inside the amusement park we sit on a bench eating taiyaki "Goodness… what was with you this morning? All that spam! About the weather, about the coffee…" I started to say "Huh… after seeing that, wouldn't you come here?" Ikuto said grabbing a taiyaki "What?" I said "Stupid! That teacup totally represented the amusement park! Right, Ikuto?" Yoru said "Yeah" Ikuto said biting his taiyaki "If you pieced together the messages, it said 'It's nice out, isn't it, do you want to go to the amusement park?' Duh!" Yoru said "What a weird way to ask…" I said "A code?" Miki said.
"Ikuto really doesn't change, does he… He still eats them from the tail end, too…" I thought looking at him, smiling, then he finished his taiyaki and gets up "…Alright" he says while I sit there confused and he grabs my hand "Wanna play?" he said looking at me while he drags me somewhere and I blush "Whaaaat?" I thought. Then he takes me to the horses and we get on… the same horse "Wai… why this?" I said "Huh… because, the teacups are too cramped" he said "Not that! Why are we on the same horse! And this is cramped, too!" I said then he suddenly gets closer to me "Can't I be the prince for a while? Just like this. Nah… I'm not the princely type, huh" he said "Hey… you're too close! Stupid!" I said "Amu-chan…" Ran said "It's all going at Ikuto's pace…" Miki said "As usual" Suu said "If I'm too far away, you'll fall off" he said "Th-that's why… wait… stup…" I started to say but start to fall of the horse.
"Gyah!" I exclaim while Ikuto catches me "See what I mean? You fell off. You're such a damsel in distress" Ikuto said while I blush madly. Then we get off and Ikuto takes me to the 'Haunted House' "Eh… we're doing… this next…? A haunted house? We… we're going in?" I said panicked "Yeah… what, you scared?" Ikuto said smirking at me "What! A-are you kidding?" I said.
"Anyways, nobody's in there and the haunted house is just a house!" I said panicked "That's right… but, even if there's nobody in there, there are things that pop out at you. Scary, huh…" Ikuto said while I stay silent "Well… if you go, you'll understand" Ikuto said dragging me while smirking. When we enter Ikuto Is still grabbing my hand and dragging me "Somehow, I'm… I'm going along with Ikuto's pace? But… I wonder why… I'm just a little… relieved" I thought "Wai-i I-It's pitch black in here!" I said "Because your eyes are closed" Ikuto said "Even if I opened them I couldn't see anything! I'm not a cat!" I said while we are walking through the haunted house when suddenly Ikuto grabs my squished my hand tighter trying to reassure me "It's fine, I'm here" Ikuto said while I blush a little the suddenly… "RAAAWR!" something from the shadows growls and I get freaked out and panicked "NOOOOOOO!" I scream and starts to run towards the exit while dragging Ikuto "Maybe I overdid it a little…" Yoru said walking out of the shadows.
"Hey, Ikuto" I said still grabbing Ikuto's hand "Yeah?" Ikuto said "This place… It'll be demolished soon, won't it?" I asked "Yeah… after April, it'll be gone" Ikuto said "I see…" I said "By the time you enter Middle School… all the shadows and shapes you see here will be gone" Ikuto said while I glance at him "It's kinda sad… so many things happened here…" I said "…Yeah" Ikuto said "But, I won't forget them. I'll probably always remember… looking at this scene with you" Ikuto said while I blush "Even if a lot of things change, his hand will surely always be this warm… if… if I could be by Ikuto's side…" I thought when suddenly he lets go of my hand "…Eh…?" I said confused "Amu. Listen Up" Ikuto said looking at the other side and then he turns to face me "I won't ever see you again" Ikuto said.
"I won't see Ikuto ever again…?" I thought shocked "…Wh… wh… why…?" I asked confused and shocked "I'm going to find my father. I've decided. Up until now, I've turned my eyes away from the whole thing, so I've got to face it now" Ikuto said.
"Long ago, I had a chat with my dad. He was in a band. He asked me, 'When you graduate High School, would you become my apprentice?' I've always been excited about that possibility. I'm finally determined to…" Ikuto said "That band, where is it now…? Far away…?" I asked kind of sad "I dunno. Wherever the wind blows, I guess? They travel all around the world, performing" Ikuto said "So you're going on a journey to look for your father…?" I asked sad "Yeah… but it's not exactly how you make it out to be. Seven Seas Treasure… when I Character Transformed into that, I felt the presence of another egg. It was uncontrollable form created by Easter, but even so… I understood something. That presence was my father's true feelings, buried deep within the violin. That old violin… it used to belong to my father. I'm bound to Easter , just like my father, and I'm also tied strongly to music… and that disgusted me. But… I couldn't throw away that violin. While I was yearning to be free, I locked my true self away. I put a lid on my true feelings… I turned my eyes away from my father's true form…" Ikuto said [A/N: WOW Ikuto… that was a LONG talk -.-'].
"Ikuto… I know that Ikuto's songs sounded so beautiful and painful because he loves music… and he loves his father. But, please…don't go!" I thought "…That's why, I'm leaving to find my real father… to find my own answer" Ikuto said while I start to look very sad and clench my hand tightly "You… you decided to do something so important by yourself? That's… but you've always been away from your father… you'd be leaving your mother behind again, wouldn't you? I, I'm just…" I start to say tearing up while Ikuto is really surprised and shocked "No! I didn't mean to say that…" I thought "Idiot! Don't ever come back!" I said running away leaving a surprised Ikuto behind.
End of FLASHBACK
"Oh, I remember that day… that was the longest Flashback ever, so your mother… what happened to her and that Easter's director?" Amu asked "Oh that… well my mother didn't apply the marriage application, neither the divorce application… so she was married still to my old man, and never married that man…" I said "Just like me, huh?" Amu said quietly, but not quietly enough because I heard her… but preferred not to ask "So what happened after that?" she asked "Oh well I was going when you arrived at the airport…" I said and Amu made the funny face… I think I will draw a mustache in her face while she remembers, I thought of that while I ran off to search a marker…
FLASHBACK:
Amu's POV
"Jeez! The first terminal, the second terminal, this airport is so confusing! I'm totally lost!" I said panting from all the run and finally arrive with Tadase and Utau waiting for me "Hurry, hurry!" Ran said "You're late!" Miki said "Amu-chan!" Tadase said "You're late! Ikuto's already gone!" Utau said "What…?" I said confused "He's probably going through security right now?" Utau said and then I ran off trying to find Ikuto.
"Ikuto! Wait! I still haven't…!" I thought while running "There are too many people…! How am I gonna get through?" I said and then stop, take a deep breath and… "IKUTO!" I screamed "There's something I have to tell you…" I thought "Man… how much metal do you have on you?" a security said with the metal detector on hand, checking Ikuto "…That voice…" Ikuto said looking my way and then see me jumping "Ikuto!" I said jumping up, the highest I can "Amu!" Ikuto said realizing who I am and then I walk to him "Ikuto! You know… it's a contest now! I'm sure your father is out there! And I'll definitely find my true self! So let's have a contest… to see who finds it first!" I said while Ikuto looks surprised and finally smiles at me… not a smirk… A SMILE!
And Ikuto finally walks up to me and I was there panting "…I've also got something to tell you" Ikuto said "Huh…?" I said "I've already given in. Because, I love you" Ikuto said leaning his face closer to mine "Huh…?" I said blushing and finally Ikuto kisses me on the lips [A/N: I know that on the manga he kissed her close to the lips… but this is my story so I will change that he ACTUALLY kisses her on the lips] and when he pulls away I blush FURIOSLY and also the people around us blush a little "Wha… WHAAAAAAAAAAA? WHA-WHA-WHAT DID…" I exclaimed blushing furiously "J, Just so you know, it's n-not not as if I… li-li-like you, Ikuto!" I said blushing.
"Th, that's right! Anyways, I don't even know where you're going!" I said stubbornly "Well then, I'll bet you something, too. I'll definitely make you fall in love with me. So prepare yourself" Ikuto said a few inches away from my face, while smirking, and while I blush "Alright, dude!" a random guy from the crowd said "Go for it!" another one said "Y-y-you've got it all wrong! Hey Ikuto! Be careful" I said while Ikuto waves his hand goodbye while walking away "Heeyyy!" I said.
"Jeez. Annoying right up to the last second…" I said blushing and then I smile looking up at the sky "Ikuto…! See you later!" I thought while looking at the plane take off.
End of FLASHBACK.
Before she woke up from the flashback, I drew a mustache and glasses on her face with some of her lipstick, since I didn't find any markers and quickly sit back on my seat and right when I sat down she woke up "Oh… I … remember now…" she said blushing, but with the drawing she looks so silly I couldn't resist so I burst out laughing and she looks confused by the sudden outburst.
"What's so funny?" she said while I keep laughing "S-s-stop laughing!" she said but I didn't stop, I wanted to, but I couldn't "What are you laughing at?" she said pouting which made her look even more ridiculous, but I stopped laughing, it was rude "It's… nothing" I said resisting a laugh but I managed to resist it "Well… let's go to sleep, the guest room is though the hall, on the left" she said and she walks away and came back with some clothes, Tadase's I supposed "Here are some of Tadase's clothes, he doesn't wear them anymore…" she said handing me some clothes and by the looks of it, she cleaned it "If he doesn't wear them, why did you wash them?" I said confused "Well… on Tadase's birthday, I went to the mall, and Akari went with me, she knew it was his birthday, so she told me to take her someplace and she grabbed some pajamas, which is the one you're holding, but Tadase stopped wearing them for a reason, but I figured. If I were to throw it out, or sell it, Akari would feel bad, so I kept them so that someday Tadase would wear them again, but the other day, I found this pajamas on the trash can, or at least beside it…" she said.
"Wow, are you sure Akari is only three years old?" I said surprised then she giggled… that giggles, I missed it a lot, I love that giggle it sounds like angels singing "Yeah, she's really smart, and really nice… she got it from her father… but I wish I knew him…" she said smiling "Well goodnight" she said walking to her bedroom when suddenly I heard… "IKUTO!" Amu screamed coming running at me "What the hell is the matter with you? YOU DREW ON MY FACE?" she said running towards me while I run away "Well… you looked like a fine victim" I said then suddenly start laughing while running away from her.
So yeah, we spent 1 hour running around the house.
