Chapter 5

Ikuto had finally released Amu when she stopped crying and pull away from his chest. He waited with his cool calm as she regained herself. Her face held the tint of a rose but she looked determined. The golden brown colored eyes held his face and he felt bad for the red lines beneath her eyes.

"What did I do Amu?" He asked again softly. She lowered her eyes, holding her hands in her lap. He saw them fiddling with the ends of her skirt nervously.

"That day you gave me the bracelet the others saw us…They didn't want me to be around you anymore, they said you were using me." He heard the quake in her voice as she continued. He wanted very much to reach out and comfort her again, but he held still.

"I thought they were wrong, and I was so set on proving them wrong." She stood up from the bed suddenly. Ikuto followed her movements with his dark eyes as she walked across the room. Her hugged herself tightly willing the tears go away. She didn't want to cry anymore. Ikuto had used her; she had to accept that. He…he was not her friend, he didn't love her. That little fact sent her heart into an icy grave. He was only here to try and gain her trust again. She wouldn't let him.

"Amu…" She felt his arms wrap around her trembling body. His breath tickled her ear as he whispered her name. Her heart raced and her mind screamed at her.

"No." She pushed away from him again. She turned to him her eyes full of tears that she refused to shed. The usual calm wall surrounding Ikuto was falling away as she stared, but she didn't trust herself to believe it. She wouldn't play in his games anymore.

"Then you came and I asked you if you were just using me." Her voice cracked her emotions overflowing her voice. She wanted to crawl in a hole and pull the earth over her. She wanted this pain to go away and never came back. She wished she didn't love Ikuto so much.

"You said you were!" She shouted as her vision blurred. He became nothing more then a blur of dark colors blotted amongst bright light.

"You said you were using me the entire time. You just wanted the embryo! I-I was so stupid to believe that you were actually my friend. I thought you were good and I-I…" She turned away from him her hands balling at her sides. I thought you liked me, She whispered silently and sadly in her mind.

"I-I want you to leave Ikuto." She whispered those words bringing pain to her heart.

"I want you to leave and never come back. I won't be used anymore!" She closed her eyes hearing his footsteps, but she thought that he was walking away, not towards her.

"Amu you've got it all wrong." He slid his arm around her waist and pulled her against him. Her face heated again as he leaned in close to her face.

"You shouldn't believe everything the Kiddy King tells you." His voice was like milk that she couldn't get enough, she drank in his words throwing all her doubts and caution to the wind all for the sweetness of his voice. She didn't want this embrace to end, she wanted those dark eyes on her always and filled with such tender emotions, just like they were at that very moment. He's never looked at me like that before, not truly like that.

"But you admitted it." She stammered forcing herself to remain calm under the weight of his gaze. She struggled for control again. He chuckled releasing her. She stepped away her face glowing in embarrassment, as she felt disappointed for the absence of his arm around her.

"I'm always teasing you Amu. You should've known I was teasing then as well. I'd never use you." He titled his head and gave her a warm smile that made her heart race.

"Besides," He grabbed her wrist and slid the bracelet off her wrist. "Would I give you something that says that if I didn't mean it?" Amu's eyes widened to the size of plates when Ikuto flipped the bracelet over so her chara colors were facing down now. On the back of the beads three words were spelled out with symbols.

"I…heart…. U." Amu whispered her mouth hanging open as she stared at the bracelet. That had been his plan along. He gave her the bracelet guessing she would take it off eventually and see the back of the beads. Her eyes snapped away from the beads to Ikuto as he stood there a little nervously to her eyes. His smile was still there warming her for an entirety.

"I love you Amu." He spoke the words she thought she'd never hear from his lips. The three words that sent her heat soaring and made her dizzy. Tears welled quickly again as Amu threw herself at Ikuto. He stumbled but regained his footing. He smiled wrapping his arms around Amu's tiny form as she clung to his chest.

"I'm so sorry Ikuto." She whispered.

"Its alright." He whispered stroking her head lovingly.

"So that was the secret?" She laughed lightly from his chest. He smiled and nodded.

"Yep."

"Ikuto?" She looked up at him. He looked down the sweet smile lining his face.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I love you too." She smiled through her blush a smile filled with love and happiness.

"I thought as much." He chuckled capturing her lips with his.
