I am the worst person in the world… Amu, do the intro.
Amu: But I thought you got rid of this intro…
Me: It doesn't matter, since I'm a despicable human-being.
Amu: You haven't been gone for that long… It's only been a month!
Me: *sighs* Just do it.
Amu: darkerthannightskys does not own 'Shugo Chara!' or any of the characters, just the story that she is writing.
Ikuto's P.O.V:
When I sat up with Amu, she had shock in her eyes. I don't know what came over me! Whenever she talks about that stupid Usui something aches in my chest... Something just comes over me and makes me do stupid stuff!
"Don't worry Ikuto, your words are so sincere that I can believe you..."
She's so understanding sometimes. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I... Wait. Why do I love Amu? I mean, she's annoying, can act like a know-it-all, she likes teasing me and on top of all this, she has a boyfriend! I have no legitimate reason to like her. I'm a playboy, for goodness sake! I don't have these feelings... I can't just focus on one girl, it's just that I like teasing her! Oh great, now I'm trying to convince myself that I don't like her! What's gotten into me?! Now I remember something I told Kukai. What was it? Oh yeah, I completely forgot that I told Kukai I liked her! But again, why did I do that?
"Ikuto... Are you ok? You were staring off into the distance." I quickly turn to her
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." I reassured "let's just get you back to your room." I held out my hand to pull her up, she took it and we began walking to her room.
"Do you want anything to eat?"
"Oh… Sure! I'll make myself some porridge and-"
"No way in hell you are doing that! I'll be making all your meals for today!"
"But-"
"And that's that!" I cut her off; I always get annoyed when she does that!
"Fine." She turns over in her bed and faces the wall "Just go."
I turn around and leave… Always with the cold shoulder.
(Amu's Dream)
"You gotta be kidding Amu! I'm not an ostrich! Why would you say that?! I'm obviously an emu…"
"Whatever, ok Ikuto. Why are you dressed in all those feathers anyway?"
"Well, I like to look my best. I've got a monkey suit at home…"
"You should wear that, I could feed you bananas!"
"I hate bananas! I want seedcake and gummy worms!"
"Can I borrow your monkey suit? I like bananas and all kinds of fruit…"
"No way, Amu. Get a bird suit, like any other sane person…"
(The end)
"Yo, Amu!" I burst open the door, she was asleep. I slowly set the bowl on the side and shook her "Amu? Amu? Am- Oh, you're awake! The porridge is on the side, just eat when you feel like it."
"O-Ok… You know what? I just had the weirdest dream! You were there in an emu suit and I wanted to borrow your monkey suit."
"Did I hit your head when I was carrying you?" I start to feel her head
"Oh, shut up!" she smacks my hand away "Anyway, thanks for the porridge! You may leave, Jeeves." She says in a posh accent
"Yes, young mistress, right after I do this…" she was about to take a bite, when I took it for her "… Yummy, do you want some?"
"I-IKUTO! WHAT THE HECK?!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want me to feed you?" haha, I love teasing her!
"I hate you."
"I lo-like you too" whew, that was close… shit! She looks suspicious; I'd better change the subject! "So what do you want to do after you finish the porridge?"
"Well, I was thinking we could go Irish dancing, then go on a cruise around the Carrabin and to top it all off, go on a magic carpet ride!" she answers sarcastically
"Haha, very funny." I say jokingly "How 'bout we carry on with level 3 of GTA5?"
After she finishes off her porridge she chirps "Sure!"
(A few snacks, root beers and levels later…)
Amu's P.O.V:
After a few levels, he paused the game suddenly! "Hey! I was just about to kill that guy!"
"You…"
"What?"
"You really are something else…" could he be any blunter?
"Glad we have that noted. Now, why did you pause the game?"
"1. Because we need more root beers, 2. Because seeing how intense you were, you might've fainted again and 3. If you haven't noticed already, my phone is ringing." He gets up off the gaming beanbags and answers the phone.
(Ikuto's phone call)
"Hello?"
"Yo, Ikuto! Guess who?"
"What do you want kukai?"
"Well, Rima's asking everyone to come and meet this guy called 'Nagi'. You know, the who she's been on about all week!"
"I don't know… It depends on how Amu's feeling…"
"Well, if you're coming, then we're gonna meet up at the mall fountain at 4:00! See ya!"
"Later"
(Back to Amu's P.O.V)
"What depends on how I'm feeling?" I asked
"Well, Kukai says Rima wants everyone to come and meet that 'Nagi' guy. So they'll all be meeting at the fountain at four, do you want to go?" 'I wonder if Usui'll be there?'
"Ok, We'll go… After we beat these guys to a pulp!" And then my phone rings! "One sec"
(Amu's phone call)
"What is it?!"
"Urmmmm… It's me?"
"Oh, Usui! Sorry, I didn't see the caller ID!"
"Where were you today?"
"Oh, I fainted, so I had to be taken back home."
"You fainted?!"
"Yeah… Didn't Kukai tell you?"
"No… Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to go out somewhere tonight."
"Urmmm, actually, me and Ikuto were about to head out to the mall to meet everyone in a bit."
"Oh, with Ikuto? Did anything happen between you two?"
"What?! No?! We just played GTA5, had snacks and root beer!"
"Oh… Sorry…"
"No, it's fine. Anyway, you can come with us if you want to! We'll all be meeting by the fountain at 4:00 in the mall if you want to come. Hope to see you there!" I hung up the phone quickly
"Who was that?" Ikuto asks
"U-Usui, it's fine… Let's just go…" he grabs my arm as I start to leave
"What did he want?"
"He just wanted to know if I could go out tonight…"
"But that's not it, is it?" Shit! He knows I'm hiding it! Why am I hiding it?
"Don't worry about it, let's just get going." He tightens his grip before letting go. I feel like Usui doesn't trust me… I wouldn't do anything that's untrustworthy!
"I'm just worried, is all…"
"Don't worry… It's just something Usui said. Please, just leave it."
"Fine then, let's get going!"
(At the mall)
"Yo" me and Ikuto say in unison
"Hey Amu! This is Nagi!" she points to the boy with long indigo hair
"Nice to meet you." The boy states
"Hey, my name's Amu Hinamori, but you can call me Amu and this pervert is Ikuto Tsukiyomi." I hold out my hand and he shakes it
"My mane's Nagihiko Fujisaki, but you can call me Nagi."
"Ok, if I'm anything, I'm a playboy!" Ikuto interrupts and I glare at him questioningly "ok, and I guess I'm a bit of a pervert…"
"A bit?"
"You want me to be a pervert? Ok." He starts chasing after me and then I feel something grab my hand and pull me back
"Do you want her to faint again" of course it's Usui! Wait… Why do I feel disappointed?!
"Ok, I think we should all spilt up and meet in an hour!" suggests Rima "I'll go with Nagi and Kairi, Kukai goes with Utau (A/N SHE KNOWS!) and Ikuto, you can go with Usui and Amu!"
'This is not good…' Is the first thing I thought
"I need to do something, so I'll be going somewhere else and meeting up with everyone again." Says Ikuto, so everyone goes their own ways.
Usui and I are in a café when he suddenly gets a call, afterwards he says he needs to leave due to family issues, so I go to the music store. When I get there I find Ikuto… But with another girl! She was Tall, with blonde hair that curled at the bottom. They were laughing and flirting. I felt tears welling up…
'Why? Why do I feel this way when I see him with another girl? I'm so confused!' Just then, Ikuto turned and saw me. At that moment, a tear trickles down my face and I start to walk away as I (quietly) burst into tears. I feel a hand on my shoulder that was obviously Ikuto's. He turns me around to see my crying face and immediately speaks up…
"Amu, it's not what it looks like!"
"So, you flirting with a girl and laughing isn't what it looks like?"
"Why would you care?! You have a boyfriend!"
"I don't know why I care, OK?! It shouldn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you!"
"What shouldn't matter to me?!"
"That I saw you doing that! Aren't I just another one of your play-things that you like to tease?! Why should a boy-slut like you care what I think?!"
"Boy-slut?! Maybe I should show you how much of a 'boy-slut' I can be?"
"FINE WITH ME!"
We both storm off in opposite directions and I go home and run up to my bed. I scream into my pillow and shout, "WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY? WHY DO I CARE ABOUT THAT SORT OF STUFF?! HE'S A FUCKING PLAYBOY FOR GOODNESS SAKES!"
Wow! Well, that's the end of that! What was Ikuto doing with that girl? Why did Amu get so upset? What happened after they all went home? Find out in the next chapter! And again, sorry for updating so late! And I thought, along with the chapter, that I could give you the ages of everyone:
17: Ikuto, Utau, Kukai, Saaya and (later on in the chapters) Tadase.
16: Amu, Rima, Nagi, Usui.
15: Kairi and (later on in the chapters) Yaya.
