A Test of Courage Chapter Two
A Test of Courage Sequel
Sarah: Ok..people requested there to be a sequel/second part to this story so I decided to make one ;).
AMUTO
Amu held the bell in her hand, rolling it around softly, Ikuto's words ringing through her head.
No matter where you are Amu just ring that bell and I will protect you always
Protect you always
Protect you always
Protect you always
She dove into her pillow feeling as if her heart was about to burst. Ikuto had came for HER, rescued HER, wanted to protect HER. She giggled, she was feeling great. Much better then Tadese has ever made her feel.
Ikuto's kind words…I know he meant it...maybe..he..
She squeezed the bell hard holding it close to her.
Maybe he loves me too…
She rolled around in her bed anxiously, it has been a whole week after the school event and nothing bad has happened for her to be protected yet! And Ikuto hasn't been making his usual late night meetings to her balcony either. She looked at the gleaming bell with the piece of ribbon it was sewed to.
I wont give up! Ikuto will come soon..I know it..I can wait it out!
The next day she woke up to her charas' noisy "good-mornings" she picked up the bell and tied it around her neck. She looked at it hoping that maybe today she wouldn't have to use the bell to get him around. She put on her uniform, brushed her hair and teeth, and walked off to school. Right when she got to the opening gates there was a short blond haired boy waiting for her. She looked up in disbelief, she and Tadese had talked this past week due to Guardian duties but besides that he was avoiding her ever since she said that to him. He looked angry.
Oh no… Amu thought as she walked up to him nervously.
"Ummm Hi Tadese-kun!" She said trying to sound cheerful. When she looked at him all he was glaring at was her neck. (more like what was on it)
He walked up and looked her straight her in the face and said eyes a blazing
"Why do you even think kindly of that thieving cat? Don't you remember he tried stealing your lock?! He's OUR ENEMY HINAMORI-SAN!"
She looked down looking hurt
No…You…Tadese…you…you are wrong!
She looks up pissed off and says angrily "Tadese shut up, you don't know Ikuto the way I know him. You cant tell me who I can and who I cant be friends with, so just stay out of it!" And she storms off, leaving Tadese hurt but angered at once.
Her charas came out of her bag and said altogether: "Amu.."
"I'm fine I'm fine you guys just mad at Tadese. He should let me be friends with who I want to be friends with!"
For Amu classes that day were very slow which made her anger towards the blond prince build up even more. By the time the final bell to end school rang, Amu felt like she was about to explode. Not only was Tadese acting stupid, but no one was coming to hurt her so she couldn't be protected so no Ikuto!! She knew there was a Guardian meeting today but she didn't care, she didn't want to go she just wanted to leave school. Too bad for her the guardians were waiting for her out in the front.
She looked at them annoyed: "What do you guys want?"
Her charas looked worried.
This is not good Amu-chan… Ran thought.
All of them had concerned looks on their faces. Amu noticed that even Kukai was here. (he had graduated to middle school T.T)
"Amu..we need to talk." Tadese said softly.
Amu tightened her grip on her bag.
"We know that you are friends with Ikuto.." Kukai began "But we are your friends too and you should also think of us."
There was a silence for a few minutes then Tadese said:
"Amu we are just worried about you…"
"Yeah we are friends!" Yaya added in.
Amu was silent.
"Were not saying stay away from him Amu but remember your guardian duties"
This ticked her off majorly. She clutched her fists then said trying to keep her 'cool and spicy' look:
"I have to go see ya later guys."
Even though she tried to stay cool she broke into a run tears filling her cheeks as the sun was setting lower and lower. She ran so far that she was in the main parts of the city, where all the stores were. She walked with her eyes burning and red just wanting to hang out with Ikuto and be able to be a guardian at the same time.
I guess that's not possible without some arguing…
She saw a store painted all pink and white with the name of
Cute and Pink!
She ran to the window and looked inside to see tons of stuffed animals, notebooks, and all sorts of pink and cutesy things.
"Kawaiii!" she exclaimed and went in. She was in there for a while checking out all of the items they had. Her charas were having fun too, playing with the doll house that was on sale. The doll house is what Amu liked best. Instead of people all the characters were animals and it was all brightly colored. She enjoyed looking at it then suddenly realized that she had been there for a while now.
Oh no I'm so late!!
She ran out of the store into a large crowd of busy people on their phones or talking with their friends and was pushed and bumped into a lot until she finally got to the crosswalk. She crossed and stood under a lap kept trying to use her cell phone but it was out of battery so she wasn't sure what to do. She was scared of her parent's anger and worry, but also scared of being alone in such a place like this at night. Not only that, but she had the feeling she was being watched. Trying to ignore the feeling she went and got a map of the city trying to figure out the best route to get home by, when while walking she bumped into a group of 20ish year old guys who were having a night on the town.
"Eehh whos this kawaii girl?" one of them said.
"Just bumping into us like that, this girl must want to have some fun!"
"Yeah!" the last one added in.
Amu pushed herself off them and said
"No!! I was just reading and bumped into you I'm sorry I have to go!"
She tried to get passed them but one of them grabbed a hold of her hand.
"Let me go!!" she cried out and her charas crying out together:
"AMU-CHAN!"
She struggled to get herself free but then the leader said:
"Comon girlie lets go were gonna take you to a nice place."
"NO I WANNA GO HOME!" she squeled and squirmed trying to break free but then she remembered
The bell!! Ikuto!!
She used her free hand to take off the necklace and ring it as hard as she could.
"IKUTO!! SAVE ME!!" She called out with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Then out of nowhere a navy blue haired cat eared figure jumped down and beat them all til they were on the ground.
Amu looked up to find that it was Ikuto. He had saved her once again. She was so happy to see him that she just ran and hugged him crying into his shirt.
"Ikuto…I was so scared..I didn't know what to do I" she babbled on and on talking through her tears and him holding onto her listening. He held her and whispered
"Amu everything is fine now, I'm here and I wont let anyone hurt you even your friends."
Amu looked up at him and asked:
"What are you.."
"I saw your friends and I saw you running off. It was because I had been with you right?"
Amu couldn't believe what she was hearing:
"You..you have been watching me?"
"Yeah for the past week actually, I've been waiting for you to miss me so much you would ring the bell" he said with a smirk.
Her cheeks burned red and she pushed off of him and said "N-No! Why would I miss you?"
Then Ikuto bent down and looked at her straight in the eyes and said "Well if you didn't why did you stick up for me? Why have you been wearing the necklace everyday?
Amu said face burning up even more now "Well…I…."
Ikuto still close to her face as ever said: "Yes?"
Amu held the necklace in her hand tightly and cried out
"I did those things because I wanted to be protected by you Ikuto! I wanted…you to be with me…"
Then Amu was about to run after realizing the words she had just said but Ikuto grabbed both of her arms forcing her onto his chest and kissed her. The kiss sent tingles surging all through her body, loving the sensation of his tongue going in her mouth his mouth locked onto hers. They were held like that for a seemed to be never ending minute and he finally released her.
Amu to her that was a fantastic wonderful feeling that she would love to have happen to her again and again it was so overwhelming that she ended up fainting in his arms. He and her guardian charas took her home and he tucked her in bed kissed her on the lips again and said:
"Amu I will protect you always because I love you."
Amu said in her sleep
"Ikuto I love you too.."
With that for Amu the next day she was in a daze. She had completely forgiven the guardians and Tadese and was fine with them not liking her be with friends with Ikuto. Because no matter what they said or did, she knew that whenever that bell is rung he will come to her aid, and he will always be by her side.
-END- Omg I want to ask my readers something :O is it bad that I keep making Ikuto carry her? I mean who wouldn't want to be carried by him right? Tell me please if it is too repetitive. Thanks for reading!
