~~~Chapter 12: Prank Wars!?~~~
(Amu's POV, the next day after the night swim)
Ah... Today's Saturday.
Which means... The day to pull pranks on Yoru and Ikuto...
I was laying on my bed,and I looked over at Utau.
Our gazes met, and we both nodded.
Prank 1: Start.
Here's the first prank Utau and I agreed on.
On Saturday, which is today, we would get up a little earlier than everyone else.
Next, Utau would go and buy lemon juice from the nearby dollar store.
If you have never tasted lemon juice, lets just say... It is EXTREMELY sour.
When Utau arrived back from the store, we would go in the bathroom, and squirt a load of lemon juice on Yoru's tooth brush.
So when Yoru wakes up in the morning and brushes his teeth, he will be in for quite a surprise.
After Utau went shopping and entered the dorm, Amu and Utau exchanged smirks, and they silently tip toed into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Utau opened the overhead wooden cupboards that stored everyone in the dorm's tooth brushes, tooth paste, etc.
Utau found Yoru's toothbrush, pulled it out, and laid it softly on the gray linoleum bathroom counter.
She took out the bottle of lemon juice, and squirted a loud of it onto Yoru's tooth brush.
Quietly, Utau put the toothbrush back in the cupboard, closed the cupboard, and we headed back to our beds as if nothing had happened.
Almost as if on cue, Utau and I heard Yoru yawn loudly.
I pretended to be asleep and closed my eyes, and I heard Yoru's soft foot steps as he waddled into the bathroom.
I held back a giggle...
The sound of the wooden cupboards being opened reached my ears.
A few second later...
"NYAAAAAAA! IT'S SOUR!"
I tried to hold in my laughter, but I couldn't help myself...
I suddenly bolted out of bed, and started laughing so hard that it hurt my jaw.
Seems like I'm not the only one, Utau burst into laughter as well.
"Hey~Nyaa!" Roared Yoru. "Not cool! Did you guys do this?"
Utau and I nodded while still laughing.
All the loud laughter woke Kiseki up.
"Shut up commoners!" Kiseki ordered loudly.
After about 5 more seconds of laughing, I regained myself, and stopped laughing. But I still had a grin on my face.
Utau stopped laughing shortly after, and she slowly pulled the denim bed covers over herself.
Kiseki shook his head, and muttered something about having crazy dorm mates, and went back under his covers to go back to bed.
Yoru shot me one last evil look, and went back over to his bed.
I went under the covers, and moved some of the blanket out of the way until I could see Utau.
Of course, Utau wasn't sleeping. After all, we still have to prank Ikuto, and what time would be better than early morning when everyone is asleep?
Okay, here's the plan that Utau and I agreed on.
Utau and I would sneak out of our dorm, and go over to Ikuto's.
We would knock on the door softly, and then Ikuto would wake up and answer the door.
Utau would be hiding around the corner so when Ikuto answers the door, he will only see me.
I will then distract Ikuto, and lead away so that Utau can sneak into the dorm.
Next, Utau would go in the bathroom quietly, making sure not to wake up Ikuto's dorm members, and would take out a small pack of ketchup that you get at fast food restauranteur.
Utau will fold the packet over a few times so that it gets smaller, and then she will poke a hole in the packet, quietly lift the toilet seat up, and place the ketchup packet on the toilet seat.
Sense the ketchup packet is white and very small, it's very unnoticeable. So the next time Ikuto takes a crap...
He will be squirted up the butt with ketchup...
Utau smiled at me mischievously.
We carefully got up, left the dorm room, and headed down to Ikuto's dorm, which wasn't that far away.
I nodded over to Utau as soon as we reached Ikuto's dorm, and she hid behind a wall.
I knocked lightly, and a groan soon followed after I knocked.
Footsteps could be heard coming to the door, and suddenly, I panicked.
I don't know what to say! How am I going to distract Ikuto?!
The door opened, and reveled Ikuto.
He was wearing long, dark blue and gray plaid night pants, and a black tank top, which was obviously his sleep wear.
"Amu...?" He asked groggily, still rubbing sleep from his eyes.
I'd never seen him like this...
Suddenly, it's almost like Ikuto's brain turned on, and he went back to his old self. "So Amu... Why you at my dorm? Let me guess... You finally realized you undying love for me."
I rolled my eyes. "Course not..."
Crap. I don't know how to distract him and get him away from here so Utau can sneak in...
"Umm... Ikuto... How about we..." I wracked my brain for an idea.
Ikuto raised his eye brows at me slightly. "How about we...?"
"Uh... How about we... go somewhere alone together?" I blurted quickly.
Wait... What the **** did I just say to Ikuto?
Ikuto smirked. "Sure thing, Amu."
"I'll lead the way..." Ikuto purred, and grabbed my hand firmly, leading me in the opposite direction of Utau thankfully. I wouldn't want Ikuto to see Utau. That would just ruin the whole plan pretty much.
~~~Utau's Point Of View~~~
After I saw Ikuto and Amu leave, I tiptoed into Ikuto's dorm.
The door was unlocked, so I silently opened the door, and closed it without making a peep.
I saw Nagihiko sleeping on the bed, with his mouth wide open, and he was snoring loudly of course.
I find it kinda weird that both Nagi and Ikuto have dark blue hair and they share a dorm...
Anyways, I went in the bathroom, ketchup packet in hand.
I brought a pen with me to poke a hole in the packet, but first, I took out the pen and wrote something on the ketchup packet. If I'm lucky, Ikuto might see it later.
On the packet, I wrote-
You got pranked by Amu and Utau Sucker
I grinned poked a hole in the packet, and lied it on the rim of the toilet seat.
So not long from now, Ikuto's gonna get ketchup shot up in his Netherlands...
As I left the dorm and headed back to my dorm, I wondered,
Where's Amu?
~~~Amu's Point Of View~~~
Where the heck is Ikuto taking me?
After about a minute of walking, Ikuto finally stopped in front of a door.
On the door, there was a yellow sign that said on bold black letters,
Janitor Only
This must be the janitors room.
Ikuto opened the door, and it was completely dark.
Ikuto closed the door, and pulled me in the room.
"Hey! Ikuto! What are we doing in here?"
"Well..." Ikuto said. "You said you wanted to go somewhere alone, right Amu-koi?"
I growled. "Don't call me Amu- koi."
I sensed that Ikuto must have smirked right then.
Suddenly, I heard a tiny squeak, and shortly after, I heard shuffling after, almost like a tarantula's legs patting against the floor...
Tarantula's squeak like that...
I started to shake, as memories of Kukai came back, and how he had gotten bitten my a tarantula and how he was still in the hospital today because of it.
~~~Ikuto's Point Of View~~~
I felt Amu start shaking next to me.
I poked her. "Amu?"
She started to shake even more, an I grabbed her shoulders. "What is it Amu?"
I couldn't see because it was pitch black, but if I could see, I'm pretty sure Amu's honey colored eyes would be filled with fear.
"S-S-Spiders..."
I started to shuffle my shoes more on the ground. What the heck is wrong with Amu?
As I continued to shuffle my shoes on the ground, one of the shoes squeaked, and suddenly, Amu screeched, literally dragged me out of the janitors room and out into the hall, and threw her arms around me in fear.
"Amu? What is it?" I asked, squinting a little because I had gotten used to the darkness of the janitors room, and now it was pretty light out in the hallway.
"I heard a squeak that sounded exactly like a tarantula's..." She managed to say.
I patted the back of her head. "Relax, there's no tarantula's in Japan, much less a common school. And that noise was probably me sliding my shoes on the ground."
Amu looked up at me, and slowly, I slowly put both my hands on both of her cheeks and held them.
"Ik- Ikuto what are you doing?" Amu stuttered, and she flushed, and the heat from her cheeks was felt by my hands.
I leaned down, and slowly lowered my head more, so I was facing Amu head to head.
I leaned in more, and when my lips were about to touch her hers, we were interrupted by a loud and obnoxious scream.
Amu jumped back from me, startled by the scream.
"You stupid commoner! Stop rolling on my side of the bed!"
The scream was so loud that I could hear it from down here. And I think that's Kiseki who's making all the racket.
"I wasn't~nyaa!" Another voice screamed.
I think that is my cousin Yoru's voice.
Amu looked around nervously. "Umm... I better head back to my dorm...
Before I could say anything, Amu ran down the halls and back to her dorm.
Wait... What was I just doing a moment ago!?
Why was I trying to kiss Amu?
Amu is merely an item I'm using to beat Tadase in a popularity contest. All I need is to date her, not kiss her! And after I have dated Amu for a bit and my popularity gets higher than Tadase's, I can just dump Amu.
Sure, I don't hate Amu or anything, actually, she can be pretty cute sometimes...
I mentally slapped myself. Stupid Ikuto!
And besides, I don't really care about how popular I am, I just want to beat Tadase.
After what he did to me a year ago, he really deserves it, after betraying me.
But you do love Amu! A voice in my head exclaimed.
What the...? I didn't think that thought.
Your right, you didn't think that. It's me who's talking in your mind.
WTF?!
Yori:I'm Yori, your subconscious that is in love with Amu and hates doing bad things.
Yoro: Shut up Yori! I'm doing the introductions.
WTH... I'm hearing two voices in my head?! I must be going crazy or something.
I'm Yoro, your other subconscious that is super perverted, mischievous, and flirty.
Yori: You don't have to be such a jerk Yoro!
Yoro: Oh well, who cares.
Seriously, WTF.
Who the hell are you guys?! I thought
Yoro: I already told you, I'm Yoru, your subconscious that is perverted, mischievous, and flirty.
Yori: And I'm Yori, your second subconscious that is in love with Amu and hates doing bad things.
Oh well, I must be imagining things from lack of sleep. I better head back to my dorm.
When I got in the dorm room, I felt this sudden urge to take a crap.
I headed into the bathroom, pulled down my pants, and sat on the toilet.
However, when I sat down, something cold squirted up my butt.
"AHH!" I screeched.
I bolted up, and looked at the toilet seat.
There was a packet of ketchup on the seat, and I swiftly grabbed it.
I flipped it over, and I saw some small text.
You Got Pranked By Utau Amu sucker.
Rage boiled inside me.
I'm definitely going to get them back for this.
Phew! That was a long chapter... 2000 words. I typed the whole thing at once, too.
Sorry if the whole 'subconscious' thing seems a little strange, but they are kinda like Shugo Chara and you will find out more about them later.
Please review :)!
