THORNS OF BETRAYAL:
Chapter 6- Snapping
(Amu pov)
A week had passed and Utau and Ikuto had enrolled into high school. Rima was now one of my closest friends, Ikuto and I were friends. Though once in a while there were a few awkward moments. Utau and I went back to being good friends, and Kukai was once again like an older brother to me.
Everything seemed to be going good for the first time in a long time. I was over at Tsukasa's and I had just finished explaining everything what had happened. He smiled thoughtfully when I had finished. "I'm Glad you and Ikuto have come to amends, after all it would have destroyed you both and those you love." I knew very well he spoke the truth, in the end I knew things would have ended very badly if I did continue on the path of revenge.
A knock sounded at the door, Tsukasa went to answer it while I waited. When he came back he wasn't alone and I was very surprised by the person who came along with him. "N-Nagi?" I hadn't seen Nagi in over three years.
Jumping up I ran to my smiling friend, and hugged him. "Amu I missed you" I hugged him tighter to say the feeling was mutual. The last time I had seen my dear friend was when I was in Arizona. "What brings you to Japan?" I inquired remembering how he had vowed to never return to his home country.
His grin widened if possible and I saw something I couldn't decipher flash in his eyes briefly. "Well I heard a friend of mine was here, and so since I missed her I decided to take a trip here to see her. Despite my hatred of this place." I cocked my head in confusion.
He chuckled "When the time comes maybe you will understand." I looked to Tsukasa who had a knowing look upon his face, but he shrugged to say he wouldn't tell. I dropped the subject for now instead Nagi and I caught up on the last three years.
"I'm glad you let go of seeking revenge on Ikuto though I wouldn't trust the bastard." I sensed the bitterness in his voice, and couldn't help but wonder why it was there. "Don't worry Nagi thier only friends after all." Tsukasa reassured Nagi, for some reason I had a feeling there was something behind their words.
(Nagi pov)
I laid on the bed in Tsukasa's guest room. Amu had left a while ago, yet as always my mind was on her even when she wasn't around. The thoughts of Ikuto having her heart even after he had hurt her, caused anger to boil in the pit of my stomach. No!
I wouldn't allow him to have her. He would only hurt her in the end and that's something I wouldn't allow. He had never deserved her love, and I would not let him or any one ruin my chances with her. I felt rage and anger coursing through me, tomorrow I would enroll into Amu's school.
So I could prevent her from falling for that bastard again. I smiled a twisted smile, oh how I loath you Ikuto. I will be the death of you if you think you can have my Amu.
(Ikuto pov)
I had slipped into Amu's house, only to find her not there. Deciding to wait for her I laid down on her bed. Everything was hard now, I wanted to be more than friends but I knew I couldn't push her. I knew I had to win her back the only thing I didn't know how I was gonna get through just being friends.
It was as if my strawberry was two feet in front of me but I was chained to a wall, until she was ready to come to me. I nearly was ready to pull my hair out from frustration. "I see there is a trespasser in my bed." Amu's voice snatched me back to reality and I had to restrain from jumping up and hugging her.
"I came to see you but waited since you weren't here" I said stating the obvious. She didn't really seemed phased or surprised to see me in the least. I noticed how she moved around happily. Knowing I wasn't the one who put her in such a great mood made me jealous.
My jealousy grew when she seemed to forget I was there. " So what...or rather who got you happy?" I noticed how she flinched at my cold tone. "It really isn't your business, but if it bothers you so much you can just leave." I knew she was just mad about how I had asked and was just trying to show me how it felt.
However the fact that it really wasn't my business peaked my anger. It reminded me of the fact she wasn't mine, before I knew it a growl ripped through my chest and I lost control. In a second she was pinned against the wall, my face nearly inches from hers. Her eyes and face held fear as she attempted to push me away.
I was older than her, I stood as unmoving as a mountain. Being this close made me unable to prevent my self from doing something. I kissed her forcefully despite her attempts to stop me. I moved my lips to her neck licking her soft skin before hungrily biting down.
Greedily I drank her blood, making sure she felt the burning and draining sensation. Her whimpers of pain grew and my anger died away, snapping me from my trance. Quickly I pulled away catching her as she slid to the ground. What the hell have I done!
I grabbed her and she flinched back in fear, but I still picked her up and placed her on the bed. She wouldn't look at me despite my apologies. "Amu...I don't know what came over me." She was facing the wall and crying as I apologized over and over again.
I wanted to reach out but restrained from doing so. I was getting ready to apologize again when she spoke, "I...forgive you." She turned to face me sadness clearly on her face. Slowly I pulled her into my arms, scared if I didn't go slow it would scare her again.
I hated the fact I had hurt her, the fact I was the reason for her tears. Slowly I kissed her cheek and whispered my promise that I wouldn't lose control again. Drinking blood could be a pleasurable thing, but only when the one being bit is willing. With humans it doesn't matter because they are in a trance the moment are fangs pierce their skin. Vampires however must be willing or it causes them to feel as if they are burning from the inside out.
I held her as she slept relieved she forgave me but despising myself for hurting her. Why is it so easy to hurt the ones we love? I promised I wouldn't allow the beast in me to come out. I can't believe I went that far I kissed her bruised lips lightly then drifted to sleep with her in my arms.
