As soon as the final bell rang Amu was already out of her class headed for the main office with Rima, Yaya, and Nadeshiko at her heels. Amu ran in Tsubasa's office and noticed it was unusually quiet. They all walked to the private room and opened the door all four girls couldn't help but burst out laughing. Amu noticed the humiliated look on Ikuto's face and made her self stop laughing and bent down to take off the Baby outfit he as stuck in. After he was free Ikuto hopped on her shoulder and whispered, "We are never doing this again!"
Amu nodded and waved to Tsubasa who was reviewing his work, "Thanks so much Tsubasa-san. We're going now."
"Bye Tsuba-sama!" Yaya chimed.
"We'll see you on Monday."
"Good day."
Ikuto slipped in the bag and curled up happy to be safe with Amu again.
Amu walked out of the school and headed down the road to her house she noticed the other three following behind her. She turned around to them with a confused look on her face.
"Amu-chii you didn't forget did you?" Yaya scolded.
"It's Friday Amu, its sleep over night." Rima said dryly
"It's your turn to host." Nadeshiko added. Amu stared at them with a shocked look on her face. I completely forgot about that what if they find out the truth about Ikuto and freak out or maybe they will make him do dirty things .Ikuto already had a day with Tsubasa-san I can't imagine what his night will be like with these three.
Yaya waved her hand in front of Amu's face, "Earth to Amu-chii!"
"Huh?" Amu said snapping out of it.
"Amu your sweating is there something going on?" Rima asked with a suspicious look in her eye. Amu shook her head, "N-no just I feel bad for forgetting!" What am I going to do?
"Okay it's no big you always forget Amu-chan." Nadeshiko said walking to Amu's right, "Plus we have to help you with Ikuto."
Amu gulped and laughed nervously. The rest of the walk Amu was quiet while Nadeshiko and Yaya chatted about something and Rima walked quietly besides Amu.
When they got the house, Amu noticed that her dad's car was in the drive way. Eh? He's home early
Amu and the rest walked in to the delicious aroma of baked lasagna.
"Mm! Tsugu-tan's baked lasagna!" Yaya sang, "Hey Tsugu-tan, guess who's here!"
Tsumugu leaned out of the Kitchen, "Yaya-Chan, Rima-Chan, Nadeshiko-chan, Amu-chan! Welcome girls dinners already in the oven so you guys just settle in Amu's room and I'll bring it to you."
"Okay!" They chorsed. Ikuto lifted his head out of Amu's bag and settled on her shoulder. Tsumugu saw him and, before either Amu or anyone else could react, had Ikuto on the table, "So this is the patient you wanted me to look over." Tsumugu carefully looked at Ikuto making sure everything was there Ikuto seemed a little uncomfortable but didn't really do anything but sit and bear it.
"Uhh Dad I'm sure he's fine… ummm…."
"Yeah he's perfectly fine!" Tsumugu said handing Ikuto back Amu. Amu petted ikuto and looked at her dad with a pleading Look on her face, "Can I keep him?"
Tsumugu scratched the back of his head, "Well someone has to be looking for him Amu-chan and even if no one is we have to talk to Ren-san about it."
Amu sighed, "Okay."
Nadeshiko looked around, "I just noticed where is Yamabuki-san?"
"Yeah I just noticed Saiya hasn't come and annoyed us yet." Rima pointed out. Tsumugu sweatdropped, "Uh Well she went to a sleep over at one of her friends for the weekend. So you four …er, Five can have a bickering free night. You can actually enjoy your Friday night."
Amu sighed again and absently petted Ikuto's ears, I would have enjoyed it more on a late night date with Ikuto…. Wait what am I thinking he's a cat! Ikuto purred happily as Amu continued to scratch his ears.
"Awe, Well I guess we have to have a prank free night once In a while." Yaya sighed shrugging her shoulders as if she were being a martyr. Rima and Nadeshiko nodded in agreement Amu just sweat dropped, sometimes they scare me
Amu stopped scratching Ikuto's ears and he meowed in protest Hey! I liked that! He hopped on her shoulder and bit her ear, "Ouch!"
"I guess he's hungry I'll make him a plate too," He walked in the kitchen, "By the way how was school?"
Yaya was the first to Answer, "It was a blast Amu-ch-"
Rima and Amu covered her mouth and dragged her down.
"Huh? What was that?"
"Oh Uh, Tsubasa-san was gracious enough to Kitty-sit for us." Nadeshiko finally said.
"Oh that was nice of him, He really is a good person but I Have to protest on his fetish with the "Cute Animal Photo Auctions" It's not healthy"
Ikuto meowed, No kidding
Amu laughed nervously, "Well I guess we'll settle in my room now thanks dad"
Nadeshiko grabbed Yaya's legs and they dragged her to Amu's room.
"You five be good okay?"
"Of course!"
They shut the door and dropped Yaya down on the floor, "That was close."
"Sorry Amu-chii I got carried away heh." Yaya said nervously.
"Well what shall we do now?" Nadeshiko asked gliding to a seat cushion.
"Well How about we start our homework instead of putting it off until the last minute." Amu said as she let Ikuto down on the floor. Yaya and Rima ignored her and began reading Manga.
"Hey!"
"Awe but Amu-chii that's so boring!" Yaya whined.
"It is kind of the reason we have these sleepovers." Nadeshiko pointed out. Yaya and Rima pouted but still took out their books.
Amu pulled out her history notes from earlier, "Okay we have to choose one of the events we talked about in class and write a three page essay on it. What about you Rima?"
"The same, I think the entire school is doing this." Rima said flatly.
"Well what should we do?" Amu said rereading the notes then something caught her eye, the story about the disappearance of an entire royal family the Tsukiyomis. She remembered Sanjyo-sensei saying that the old legend said there was a curse or something. She didn't catch the rest because everyone was bugging her about the code blue.
"Hey does anybody have the rest of the notes on the Tsukiyomi family?"
They all looked at her blankly.
"None of you do!?" Amu stated bewildered.
"Well I was trying to talk to you at the time." Nadeshiko laughed.
"Yaya didn't take any notes."
"I fell asleep in class."
Amu sweat dropped, "Great."
"We could do some research on it later lets do a prank call!" Yaya whipped out her cell phone and dialed a number. Ikuto jumped on Amu's shoulder with a troubled look on his face, Tsukiyomi? Why does that sound familiar?
The phone rang and Yaya gave it to Nadeshiko and whispered something to her. A loud high pitched shrill voice answered on the other line, "Hello? Who calls me the fabulous Saiya Yamabuki."
"Hello," Nadeshiko was impressively impersonating her brother Nagihiko, "This is Nagihiko from the Seiyo Boy's school basket ball team My friend Kukai Souma from the Soccer team really likes you and was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with him this Saturday night,"
Amu, Yaya, and even Rima were muffling laughter. They had never met Nagihiko or Kukai except for Nadeshiko so they really didn't know too much about them but it didn't stop them from using them to prank call Saiya who was madly obsessed with Kukai but too proud to ever agree to a date.
"Well if it was not for my large list I would go out with Souma-senpi but unfourt-"
Nadeshiko coved the receiver and everyone burst out laughing Ikuto fell off of Amu's shoulder but landed on his feet he looked at the four giggling girls and wondered why they were so… well, giggly he pushed Amu's forehead with his paw, "hey Amu what's so funny?"
It grew quiet and all you could hear was Saiya's rambling voice in the background. Nadeshiko shut the phone and all three of them stared at Ikuto bewildered, "D-did Ikuto just speak…?"
Amu shot up and panicked not knowing what to say all of a sudden Nadeshiko, Rima, and Yaya let out a scream and grabbed Amu and ran out of Amu's room shutting it and holding the door closed, "Amu where did you get that cat!?"
"Off the street but let me explain!"
"Wha! Scary monster!" Yaya screamed.
"Amu you should really not pick up stray anything!" Rima scolded.
Ikuto heard all this and his ears dropped the thing that hurt the most was the "Monster" comment from Yaya. For as long as he could remember because of what he was he was called monster or demon and chased away with a broom stick or a pitch fork. Up until recently he hadn't heard that, but now it opened old wounds from the past, Maybe Amu thought I was a monster when I first spoke to her too,
"Wait a minute guys! Ikuto is not a monster. He's just a poor cat under a curse!" Amu explained the situation without letting them know he was actually a human and somehow they all understood.
"Geeze Amu-chii, why didn't you just tell us before?" Yaya said in a bored voice.
"It was his secret." Amu protested.
They walked back in and all of them petted his head, "Sorry Ikuto about earlier we can keep secret's too."
Ikuto smirked and nodded and jumped on Amu's shoulder. "Well it's a relief not having to keep quiet around you anymore. It was annoying."
They froze and stayed shocked. Nadeshiko was the first to break the silence and just chuckled nervously, "Its going to be a little weird getting used to that."
"Defiantly." Yaya and Rima Chorused.
"Dinner!" Tsumugu sang as he entered the room, "Well what was that scream about just now?"
"Well…. We saw a spider but Ikuto caught it." Rima lied.
"Oh yeah spiders," Tsumugu shuddered, "maybe having a cat around isn't such a bad idea after all."
He left the food on the table. Five plates with a large slab of Lasagna right in the middle with garlic bread and a salad, Tsumugu really knew how to cook. Everybody preoccupied them selves with the food that no one noticed the sun going down over the horizon that is until….
"Amu, pass the garlic bread."
"Sure Ikuto." She handed him the plate still happily munching on her own garlic bread. It took her a couple of seconds of silence before she realized that she was staring at Ikuto's pale porcelain skin.
"ACK!"
"Oh so we were right." Rima mused the other's weren't really all that shocked but they had a smug look on their faces. Amu gulped, I knew it…
Ikuto looked around oblivious, "Was the bread too hard?" He bit on the bread and munched contently not really paying attention to the fact he was human again.
"Um Ikuto…."
"Yeah?"
"Look in the mirror…."
He looked at Amu's mirror and nearly choked on his garlic bread.
"Amu-chii you were holding out on us!" Yaya mused sneaking up behind her.
"I bet Amu wanted to be alone today." Rima said staring at Ikuto.
"Er…"
"G-guys cut it out! It's not like that."
"Really…" All three sang. Amu blushed and Ikuto shrugged and decided since they weren't freaking out it was okay for him to act normal, "Well we have just met." He had a contented smirk on his face.
"True, true." Yaya said, "But now that we know about Ikuto-kun this might make things a little fun."
Nadeshiko and Rima nodded.
Ikuto felt a slight chill run up his spine. Amu felt it too. And both of them were thinking the same thing, What are they planning?
Heh Cliffy Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter and Keep an Eye on the whole Tsukiyomi curse thing
