I DON'T OWN SHUGO CHARA OR THE SONG LET LOVE BEGIN BY DEE ROBERTS XD

THORNS OF BETRAYAL:

Chapter5-Don't save me if I'm drowning pull me down again.

(Amu pov)

I sat there talking to Rima during 2ND period. Kukai had kept asking what had happened between Ikuto and myself, I would reply the first step. Then I would walk away leaving him confused to have him come back and ask later. Rima and me planned to go to the mall and meet Utau there.

I was a bit worried about introducing Utau to Rima...they both can be a bit stubborn. Rima had said she wished to introduce me to someone as well. Rima had to leave early but promised to meet us at the mall. So I was left alone during lunch...Kukai had to go to a soccer meeting.

Once again for the 12Th year in a row he was a captain of a soccer team sure he wasn't always on the same team due to the fact we have to move alot. So here I sat under a cherry tree, trying to catch the beautiful pink petals that fell. I hadn't realized I was being watched yet I should have. I suppose it's the fact I wasn't alert or looking. Without realizing it I began to dance around and whispering parts of the song let love began.

From the first time your eyes met mine

I felt a flutter of butterflies

And when u touched me you moved me inside

Like thunder crashing in the still of night

I danced and sang this song, it was the song me and Ikuto danced to on our first date. I smiled I had to force him to dance.

Skin on skin you got me trembling

And I won't fight or deny what's happening

Let the love begin, oh I know it's never gonna end

It's a real thing I'm feeling, all the others will pretend

Let the love begin, now it's time to dive right in

Don't save me if I'm drowning, just take me down again

My whispers grew slightly louder, I remember how he would always ask me to dance while he played violin. The memories were less painful now that I let go of my revenge.

Shooting stars at night, all around our heads

Like heaven was smiling on the night we met

Deep as the oceans and truer than blue

I never felt this way until I found you

Here I stand giving you all that I am

For eternity, just you and me, let's take a chance

Let the love begin, oh I know it's never gonna end

It's a real thing I'm feeling, all the others will pretend

Let the love begin, now it's time to dive right in

Don't save me if I'm drowning, just take me down again

Take me down again

Take me down again

Take me down again

Crash into me, we'll be complete

Cover me with kisses like the air I breath

Don't hesitate, don't be afraid

But sometimes you just got to do it

Surrender yourself to it

Let love begin, oh I know it's never gonna end

It's a real thing I'm feeling, all the others will pretend

Let the love begin, now it's time to dive right in

Don't save me if I'm drowning, just take me down again

I didn't even finish because at that moment I twirled into someones arms.I found myself wishing to snuggle further into his arms. So instead I took a step back, and stared up at Ikuto. I saw his eyes glint with amusement as a smirk formed on his face.

Uh-oh that's never a good sign. "Aww my little Amu-koi can't keep out of my arms can she?" He meant it as a joke, and if I were alive I would blush but I'm not and can't. For once being a leach had its good points.

"pshh Oh of course cause I'm the on that grabbed you" He stared at me in a new light. "And don't call me KOI!" I yelled the last part. He smiled a sad smile, "You really have changed... then again in ways you haven't."

I shrugged yes at one time long ago I would have been sputtering nonsense at him and blushing like crazy. "Ikuto you didn't really think after everything I could remain exactly the same did you?" I smiled slightly an air of melancholy surrounded us. He caught a petal that had drifted down from the tree.

"I guess not...just seeing you dancing reminded me of happier times." When he finished he stared in my eyes and once again I felt as if I were drowning in blue. I ripped my gaze away, "so what are you doing at my school?" I awkwardly asked to try to have a normal conversation with him.

Also to distract myself from the fact that I wanted him. He looked at me as if he were just now remembering why he had come. "Oh... ya here." He handed me a box and I immediatly recognized it. I opened the box and pulled out my mothers ring.

She had given it to me for my 15Th birthday I had left it behind after... The blue sapphires glistened up at me, I had always loved this ring it had reminded me of Ikuto once before. It still did, but it also felt nice to have a part of my mother with me. I stared up from the ring to Ikuto, "I went and got it so one day I could give it back to you... I knew I would see you again someday I just...just didn't know when." He had a sad look in his eyes as he spoke.

Slowly I took his hand in mines and squeezed gently, he smiled up at me. " Ikuto... let's start over and do everything the right way ya?" He nodded and I smiled. "So...friends?" He asked me and I nodded ya friends...Things cant change but maybe things can get better.

We would be friends and see where things went from there. I suppose only time would tell, but till then we will slowly mend are relationship. And start again as friends, there may be hard times but together we can make it through.
