Chapter 2

"Ne Amu wake up Nyaa~" the small blue cat chara said nudging the cheek of the sleeping pinkette. Amu rolled over and swatted Yoru away causing him to drop the letter he had been holding.

"It ain't worth it!" he yelled before flying back out the window. Amu snuggled under her blanket not even realizing that there had been a small intruder in her room.

"Amu hurry up and get out of bed, I just found out what Ikuto is going to be doing today we need to get you ready" Rima said as she walked into the room. On the floor she saw a white envelope with Amu's name written on it. She picked it up and slipped it into her back pocket.

"Jeez Rima what time is it?" Amu asked, seconds before she literally rolled out of bed. She sat up and struggled to get untangled from the blankets. Rima chuckled and pulled her to her feet.

"Now the guys are going to hang out at the mall with Ikuto today… they plan to you know catch up or whatever. While their all hanging out you and Keito are going to show up on a "date". The story is you and Keito have been dating for almost a year now. Keito is playing the role of a bad boyfriend. In other words he's going to be rather rude to you in front of Ikuto… to see how he handles it. You just take whatever Keito throws at you. If Ikuto askes about you saying you still love him tell him that you do but you moved on a while ago." Rima said as she searched through Amu's closet looking for a suitable outfit.

"Can't I just wear the black dress?" Amu said staring at her friend.

"No to simple you need to wear something more oh I don't know sexy" she said. Then she clapped her hands together and walked out of the room. Amu put her head in her hands dreading what her friends had in store for her. But at least she would be able to get back at Ikuto. No matter what he said she was sure that he had to have some feelings left for her.

"Amu I got the outfit for you" rima said coming back into the room.

"Please don't let it be anything to bad" Amu muttered to herself before looking at the clothes Rima held.

Rima was holding out a white corset with black straps and a matching white mini skirt that didn't even reach her knees. She also had white and black boots. Amu groaned and snatched the clothes from her friend.

"If you weren't my best friend you would be dead for even thinking of this" she growled pulling the clothes on. Rima just smiled evilly and took out her camera. When Amu was dressed she made her pose a bunch of times for pictures.

"Why the heck are you taking pictures?" Amu yelled tackling her friend and trying to take the camera from her. Utau stormed in to the room and grabbed the back of both their shirts lifting them off the ground.

"What have I told you two about waking me up before ten" she growled giving them both a death glare. The gulped, scared. That is until they noticed a shirtless kukai standing behind Utau rubbing the back of his head.

"What are you two laughing about" Utau yelled blushing. Amu escaped her friend and hid on the other side of the room.

"It seems like you and Kukai have made up. How sweet. Did you two stay up all night doing H stuff?" Rima asked with a completely straight face. Utau looked ready to kill, until Kukai laughed and put his arm around her.

"Come on Utau calm down. I'm sure they'll be a lot quieter so you can go to sleep hon." he said kissing her cheek. Utau blushed then stormed out of the room. Kukai laughed, winked at the two girls then followed his flustered girlfriend.

"Hmm Utau could learn a thing or two from kukai" Rima said with a smile. Amu nodded then came out of her hiding spot.

"So I guess I should go meet with keito huh" she said fixing her to short skirt. Rima walked over and let Amu's hair down.

"There now it's perfect" Rima said. Amu just sighed and walked out of the room. Rima followed closely behind her, explaining what the plan for the day was.

"Ok ok Rima I get it. Keito acts kind of possessive, bossy, and jerk like. I act like I'm acting like I like being with him when I'm obviously miserable but to afraid to end it with him."

"Yes and if Ikuto has any feelings left for you he should do something about it. The girls will make sure that chick doesn't show up and mess anything up" Rima said handing Amu her purse and car keys.

"Hmm I have the strangest feeling that girl will be having doubts about marrying Ikuto after she spends a day with Utau" Amu said laughing. Rima chuckled and pushed Amu out the door.

"Remember your meeting Keito outside hot topic at ten. The guys will be walking by at the time so you can't stop acting at all." Rima said as Amu got in the car and put her sunglasses on.

"Oh come on Rima I got it don't worry everything will go as planned." Amu said smiling evilly.

"Oh and Utau says not to get anything on her clothes" Rima said before closing the car door cutting off whatever Amu had been about to say.

"Great something else to worry about" Amu muttered under her breath before driving off.

[10 o'clock]

Amu took a deep breath before she walked across the crowded hallway to where keito stood leaning against a wall looking angry. There was a green streak in his hair and he had all his piercings in. He was wearing tight black pants and a black button up shirt with a red tie. Out of the corner of her eye Amu could see Ikuto, Tadase, Kukai, and Nagihiko walking towards them. Ikuto looked up and saw Amu.

'Oh god I hope this works' amu thought as she reached Keito. She leaned against the wall next to him. Keito placed his hands on the wall on either side of her glaring. Amu looked down, looking sorry.

"Your late" he growled. He seemed to be really enjoying the role he was playing. Amu muttered an apology looking the other way. She seemed to be avoiding Keito's eyes to everyone around but she and keito both knew that she was really looking to see Ikuto's reaction. Ikuto had stopped walking and was staring at her. He turned and said something to Tadase. Suddenly he turned back towards Amu almost catching her eye. But before he could Keito forced Amu to look at him.

"Don't look away when I'm talking to you" he said his voice a bit louder than necessary. Ikuto's eyes narrowed and he looked like he was about to do something.

"I'm sorry Keito-kun I couldn't find the shirt I wanted. I thought you would like this one best so I was looking for it." Amu said sheepishly. Suddenly Keito kissed her rather forcefully. Amu hesitantly put her hands on his shoulders. He forced his tongue into her mouth. Amu made it seem like she was trying to pull away. Suddenly Keito was yanked away and someone stepped in front of Amu blocking her from seeing Keito.

"Ikuto, what the hell!" Amu said making Ikuto turn around. He looked down at her, his eyes showed his hurt.

"I was helping you Amu! That guy was all over you!" he said. He seemed surprise that Amu wasn't thanking him.

"Well that guy happens to be my boy friend. And I happen to enjoy him being all over me!" I yelled at him, before running over to keito to see if he was alright. Keito glared at Ikuto.

"Amu who is this jack ass" Keito growled. Amu looked at Ikuto whose eyes seemed to be pleading Amu to get away from Keito.

"He's just a guy I used to like" she said before turning away from Ikuto. Keito smirked at Ikuto, silently challenging him. Ikuto accepted. He stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Amu's waist lifting her up.

"Hey let me go you perverted cat!" Amu yelled pushing him away. The other mall goers stared. Amu struggled to get away from him.

"Amu stop!" Ikuto said. Suddenly Keito jumped forward and pulled Amu free of Ikuto's grip then jumped at him. Ikuto grabbed Keito's fist and twisted his arm behind his back.

"Nice try kid but I'm a lot stronger than you" he said before pushing Keito into the fountain. Amu ran over to keito and helped him out.

"Leave him alone for crying out loud, Ikuto. Why do you care anyway?! It's not like you like me anymore!" Amu yelled before leading Keito away. Keito glanced back at Ikuto and smirked. Ikuto glared at Keito.

"Amu didn't you read the letter?" Ikuto called out. Amu looked back confused.

"What letter, I haven't gotten any letter from you other than the one announcing your engagement." She said before walking off.

"I think that went rather well" keito said when him and Amu where a good distance away. Amu nodded and looked over her shoulder.

"I feel kind of bad doing this to him" she said looking down. Keito put his arm around her shoulders. Amu looked up at him to see that he was grinning.

"Come on if what Rima told me about your situation is true then that guy deserves it. Although with the reaction he had I'm not too sure he deserves what he's going to hear about me from those other guys. Oh yeah Amu you ever thought about acting? You were really good back there. Hey maybe we could both audition for a drama or something." He said excitedly. Amu giggled at his sudden hyper personality. He smiled at her.

"Ah so I finally get to see your smile. I can see what that guys see's in you. Hey I know why don't you forget about that guy and go out with me instead?" he said before kissing Amu's cheek.

"Eh um well uh" Amu stuttered as she tried to think of something to say. Keito started laughing.

"Nah don't worry Amu-Chan I'm just joking. Actually it may be hard to tell right now but I kinda roll the other way" he said smiling. Amu tilted her head.

"So you're…?"

"Gay? Yup, so don't worry you don't have to worry about me falling for you. Hmm but I might just try to steal that guy he looks tasty." Keito smiled as he walked into a clothing store. Amu followed him.

"No way Ikuto is mine you nerd" Amu said playfully shoving him. He laughed and grabbed some dry clothes off the rack.

[Ikuto's pov]

"Damn it!" I yelled kicking an empty soda bottle out of my path. Is Amu stupid or something! What the hell is she doing with that kind of guy? I can't believe she stood up for him even after he did that to her in public. She looked really upset; it was natural for me to help her, but what if she didn't get the letter like she said. I need to get her away from that ass hole. Why, damn it. I need to talk to her but while she's with that guy there's no way I'll be able to.

"Oi Ikuto, earth to Ikuto" kukai said running his hand in front of my face. I glared down at him.

"What do you want Kukai, I'm obviously not in the mood to talk." I growled ready to hit him.

"Aren't you going to do something about Amu and Keito?" he asked. Right after he did, he stopped walking ducked down and covered his head. I stopped walking and thought for a moment.

"yeah I am going to do something but not yet" he said smirking. Kukai looked at him confused.

"sometimes you scare me… what are you thinking?"

"don't worry you'll find out soon" his ears appeared on his head and he jumped off.

hope you liked it. R&R please =D
