Morg: Heyo! Time for more confusion!
Ikuto: Why are you doing this to the readers?
Amu: She must get some kind of sick pleasure out of it.
Morg: You know I do. I really do. I love the reviews of people that are on the fence about whether it's Ikuto or Tadase. They make me smile.
Ikuto: You are sick!
Amu: At least she doesn't own us.
~Killed With Kisses~
Shit! His boss was going to need a report soon and the creator of both experiments had nothing to tell him. In fact, he had yet to receive any sort of conformation from the second of his two creations. Said scientist had no idea if the boy he had created had caught up with the girl yet. Probability was against the human like creature, but the scientist wanted to hear from the man himself as to whether or not he'd found the pinkette. Silly boy was taking forever. He had programmed the second one better than that.
The door to his lab sounded and the scientist knew that his time was up. "Hello, sir."
"Report."
"I'm afraid I don't have anything for you yet. I didn't place a tracking device in this one since Amu would be able to sense it. He is completely capable of completing his task. The boy's every strength is her weaknesses."
"Get me results."
The scientist bowed as his boss left without waiting for a reply. He seriously needed to find a new job. The stress of this one was going to end up killing him. That or his boss would if he failed.

He was close to making her relax around him completely. If only he could do the same around her. Everything about the pinkette was attractive to him. Granted, that was the way he was programmed, but the nonhuman man knew it had to be something more than that. If the pinkette could void her own programming to escape this way, then maybe he had the ability to find her and possibly other human girls attractive.
The only problem was, whenever he looked at other human girls he compared them all to her. Hinamori Amu. The mission was to capture and return her to the base so she could be programmed correctly. The urge to do just that was strong within him. So badly he wanted to take her by force and feel her struggle against him as he made her to submit. Those thoughts were his undoing. He wanted to feel her. Not just when he captured her, but in other ways that confused him to no end.
XXX
Suppose he had made a mistake. The scientist went over his notes on his newest male creation again. All the proper hormones were pumping in the almost human body so that Amu wouldn't become suspicious, but just what if the new male decided to act on those hormonal urges. That would spell trouble for the pinkette.

Amu refused to back down. Kukai wasn't upset when she beat him before, why was he making such a big deal out of it now? Especially in front of all of their friends and most of the school.
"What say you, Hinamori? Do you have it in you to lose?"
Amu sighed. If it was a dramatic rematch the energetic boy wanted, then that was what he was going to get. "Sure, Kukai. I'll kick your ass in soccer again."
"YOU WISH, HINAMORI! I've got Ikuto on my team this time! Choose your teammate wisely."
Amu looked around at all the kids that went to her school. Now, if only one of them had the same amount of energy as Kukai. "Wait. Can I choose anyone in the world as my partner?"
Kukai scoffed before pointing his finger at her nose. "ANYONE!"
Amu smirked before asking Rima for her phone. The shorter blonde handed it over without comment. Dialing the number from memory, Amu waited for the person she was calling to pick up. "Hey, it's me. I need some help. No, nothing that bad. I'm stuck in a soccer match against some boy at my new school and he picked a rather good teammate and told me I could choose anyone. You in? Okay then, see you in a couple of hours."
Amu returned the phone to Rima before turning to face Kukai. "You're on, Souma. My teammate will be joining us for dinner tonight. The match is tomorrow."
Walking away as cheers broke out from the other students in the school, Amu allowed herself to smile. Kukai certainly did make everything so much more exciting.

With all of her friends, including that creeper Tadase, sitting around her table, Amu waited for her teammate to show up. It had been close to two years since Amu had spoken to the girl and now she couldn't wait to introduce her to the other people she'd managed to befriend. A knock sounded at the door, causing all of her guests to instantly stop talking and turn with expectant eyes as Amu got up from her chair and made her way to let the person in.
Kukai shot to his feet and managed to scream out two words before he fainted, landing flat on his back in the middle of the floor. "HOSHINA UTAU!"
Amu stared at the lump that was her opponent before turning around to the friend from her past. "Utau, good to see you again. How's the career going?"
"Amu! I'm number one now. Don't you listen to the radio? Like ever?"
Rima narrowed her eyes at the other blonde in the room as Yaya waved her hands like crazy. "Utau-chan! Utau-chan! Yaya is a big fan of yours! Yaya is also friends with Amu-chi! Amu-chi is friends with Utau-chan which makes Yaya a friend of Utau-chan!"
Kairi sweat dropped before he tried to calm the frantic girl down. "Yaya, I don't think it works that way."
Utau cut him off with a wave of her hand. "Whatever, its fine. We can be friends, Yaya."
Amu grinned as she shut the door and ushered Utau further into the apartment. "That lump on the floor is the boy I mentioned on the phone. I had no idea he had such a crush on you."
Nagi snickered from his seat beside Rima. "Amu, he claimed that you were the perfect girl for him and that he'd go after you if he wasn't already in love with Hoshina Utau."
Amu rolled her eyes before motioning for Utau to take Kukai's now vacant chair. Ikuto watched everything happen with an amused look on his face. Leave it to Amu to surprise them all this way. "Any other famous friends we should know about?"
Giggling, Amu waved her hands in front of her as she stared straight into Ikuto's eyes. "Of course not! And Utau was my friend before she got all popular."
Utau snorted before giving Amu a disbelieving look. "More like we used to play in the same park for money and became friends that way. When I was approached to become a singer, so was Amu, except she refused and I didn't. Then the darn girl up and disappeared."
The past should stay in the past, especially if it was Amu's past they were talking about. "Whatever you say, Utau. Let's eat."
To everyone's surprise, Kukai, who had been passed out on the floor just seconds before, was the first one with his plate filled and eating. His eyes never left Utau as his fork moved from his plate to his mouth. Most of the time it had food on it.
Amu watched with an amused expression before sending Tadase a death glare to let him know that he needed to stop staring or leave. He was really starting to get on her nerves but there was little the pinkette could do about it considering that he was now supposedly one of her friends. Yelling at the boy in front of everyone didn't seem like something a friend would do. She'd tried talking to him about in private but the kid just wouldn't stop. Amu sighed as she supposed that she'd just have to endure it. Eventually though, she might just leave because of him.
Ikuto narrowed his eyes at the blond boy that didn't seem to be interested in anything else beside the pinkette. If it was bothering Ikuto it had to be killing Amu. There was no way that she hadn't noticed the continuous eye rapage that was going on. "Dude! She's not going to disappear. You could at least blink every once in a while."
Tadase flushed a brilliant shade of pink before staring down at his plate in embarrassment. His words were muttered so softly that only two people in the room heard them. "I'm sorry."
Amu sighed again before she started eating like nothing happened. Utau watched everything that happened. Making a mental note to ask the pinkette at a later time, she continued eating as if nothing happened as well. The rest of the table followed suit.
Clinking of forks and spoons against plates were all that was heard for about five minutes before a major realization smacked Kukai right in the face. "WAIT! I CAN'T PLAY SOCCER AGAINST HOSHINA UTAU!"
Utau stared up at the boy in shock. She'd only heard him speak twice and both times he was screaming at her. "Why the hell not?"
Using all the strength he had to not faint again due to the fact that the love of his life was speaking to him, Kukai managed to grin. "Because I'll beat you and then you'll hate me. That doesn't bode well for our future together."
Stunned beyond belief of the words that had come out of his mouth, Utau opened and closed her mouth several times as she tried to come up with a suitable response. "First, what make you think we have a future together, and second, WHO THE FUCK SAYS THAT I'LL LOSE?"
His heart literally almost stopped beating. "I SAY YOU'LL LOSE! I'M THE GREATEST SOCCER PLAYER EVER!"
Utau pushed back her chair and jumped to her feet. Her finger instantly found its way to pointing at Amu. "THEN HOW DID SHE BEAT YOU?"
Kukai leaned back in his chair with a smirk. "Beginners luck. No way she'll beat me again."
Knowing that she had to stop this before her friend exploded all over her biggest fan, Amu pulled Utau back down into her chair. "Save it for the match, Hoshina."
Ikuto smirked at the simple way Amu got Utau to focus. Kukai still had his smug look on his face and Ikuto just couldn't leave it there. "Souma, do I need to remind you of the fact that you've been begging me for weeks to be on your team so that you could beat Amu? You said you couldn't possibly challenge her again without someone like me to help you beat her. Why do you look so confident? What if I fall down the stairs tonight when we leave? Then you'll have to find someone else for the match tomorrow."
Just as Ikuto predicted, Kukai's smug face instantly disappeared. "Take it easy man! We don't want you getting hurt."
The table broke out in laughter and even Kukai grinned despite his embarrassment.

Oh God, her smile was so beautiful. Yes, Hinamori Amu, laugh and feel at ease around me. I'm just another one of your normal human friends. Ignore the fact that I'm genetically enhanced to be able to do one thing and that is to be able to take you down. I'll catch you when the time is right. You'll submit to me because you'll see that there is no other option.
I'll be in control and you'll be forced to pay attention to me. No more ignoring my attempts at getting closer to you. Tomorrow is the perfect chance for me to do just that. The soccer match will provide the perfect opportunity for me to see you in action. I can't wait my sweet pinkette. I can't wait.

Morg: So we got to see inside 'his' head.
Ikuto: I really hope that's not me.
Amu: How creepy!
Morg: I hope you guys are enjoying and if you have a reason for believing it one way or the other then let me hear it!
Ikuto: It's obviously me because I'm awesome.
Amu: You just said that it was too creepy to be you! I bet its Tadase! He's going to take me away so we can be together forever.
Morg: Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth.
Ikuto: Yep, definitely going to be me. I'm the one that gets to take you.
Amu: Oh just review!
