Chapter 5: A Cheesy Chapter Where Nobody Gets Mad
Ikuto struggled to keep the small sized crown on his head while he dragged a skateboard he'd got for cheap at a garage sale on his way to Amu's house. He had found the kiddy king and told him to come to Amu's house. Ikuto's genius plan went like this
1. Set Utau on Kukai. Not only would this get Kukai out of the way, but Utau might also get the hell off of his back =0
2. Buy a crown like the kiddy king's and something sporty -.-
3. Challenge the kiddy king to come to Amu's house
4. Show Amu that he could be Kukai, himself, and Tadagay all at he same time ;)
5. Win Amu's heart :3
6. Laugh at the kiddy king during Ikuto and Amu's wedding (MWA HA HA HA)
Although step six may have to come a lot later in life, it was better than waiting and letting someone else get his strawberry.
When Ikuto reached Amu's house Tadase was already there. Well it was the kiddy king who was multitasking now was it? Was it?
But wait…oh Snapple sticks!
The kiddy king was wearing a set of cat ears and a cat tail!
"What are you supposed to be Tadase?" Ikuto asked curiously.
"You," Tadase replied casually.
"You don't look anything like me!" Ikuto said absolutely horrified. Did he actually look like that…?
"Well what are you supposed to be?" Tadase growled back in a pathetic attempt to change the subject.
And as pathetic as the attempt was, it worked.
"I'm going to show Amu that I can be you, your clown friend and myself all at the same time," he said smugly.
Tadase blinked.
"I see," he said. Ikuto mustered up his courage to do possibly the most humiliating thing imaginable: act like the kiddy king. Ikuto straightened his crown and took a deep breath.
"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL OVER AMU! MWA HA HA HA!"
Nagihiko, Rima, and Yaya watched this show from a nearby tree and covered their mouths to stifle their laughter.
"We're too late Amu-chan!" Ran's high-pitched voice cried in defeat.
"Ikuto, what've you done nya!" Yoru half-sobbed when he saw what a low level his owner had sunk to.
"Amu! Amu you gotta help me! Utau's gone insane!" Kukai yelled as he came running up the street.
Amu stood outside of her house, wondering when the neon pink elephants in tutus were going to come around the block dancing. That was the only thing this party of insanity was missing, after all.
"Ikuto why are you dressed—Tadase why are you wearing—what are you three doing in a—wait what's wrong with Utau?" Amu struggled to asked a million questions at once. Unfortunately, Amu isn't the brilliant multitasking maniac that Ikuto is so she failed miserably.
"Utau is trying to get me to marry her!"
"I'm proving that I can be three people at the same time."
"You seem to have a cat fetish…"
"Who the hell would pass this show up?"
That was the day Amu learned that four answers at the same time is pretty much the same as no answers at all.
"Ikuto, why are you trying to be three people at the same time?" Amu asked incredulously.
"Remember what Rima and Nagihiko said to him?" Miki reminded her.
"Oh yeah!" Amu said.
"So that's why," Ikuto said with a smirk. Did he honestly not realize how sad he looked? Or maybe he didn't care? Maybe he loved Amu so much that he was willing to look like a total dumb piece of cat crap to impress her. If that was the case….Tears of something foreign started trickling down Amu's cheeks. Tadase and Ikuto's eyes both grew in alarm.
"Wh-why're you crying?" asked Ikuto worriedly.
"She saw your face up close for the first time," Tadase said.
"Either that or she realized that you're gay for that long-haired purple guy," Ikuto put in.
"Purple…haired…?"
"Nagihiko," Amu corrected.
"You should know that I like Rima, not Tadase," Nagihiko cried in protest after jumping out of the tree.
"You…do?" Tadase sniffled, his heart slowly breaking in two because Ikuto was right: Tadase was secretly in love with Nagihiko.
"You do?" Rima asked in shock.
"Man and I thought my confession was pathetic," Kukai snorted.
"You confessed?" Amu asked surprised.
Kukai walked over to Amu and bent down lower so he could whisper in her ear.
"She was gonna kill me and I somehow ended up with her agreeing to marry me!" he hissed.
"Why would you do that?" Amu hissed back.
"Because she was gonna kill me damn it!"
"How'd you get her to agree?"
"I told her it'd make Ikuto jealous," Kukai said with a shrug and Amu fake-coughed to hide her hysterical laughter.
"What's so funny, Kukai-koi?" Utau purred.
"Nothing, nothing," Kukai said, shaking he was so scared.
Small tears began dropping from Utau's eyes.
"First Ikuto now you!" she sobbed. "Why is it that every guy who I start to love ditches me for Hinamori Amu?"
"You really love me?" Kukai asked.
"Of course I do!" Utau sniffled and everyone watched in amazement when Kukai took the crying girl in his arms.
"I love you, too, Utau," he whispered. (A/N corny love moment with a really weird couple!)
All the charas swarmed together and made a disfigured heart around the happy couple.
"Wait, so if Kukai loves my sister and Tadase is gay…then why am I wearing this stupid crown?" Ikuto demanded.
"Because that author told you to," a voice from the sky called. And it wasn't just any voice. It was...the author's voice!!
"…"
"But you can take it off now," the voice added. "Your plan kinda worked."
"So Amu is in love with me?" Ikuto asked the sky.
"Don't ask me dip shit," the voice said darkly. Everyone sweat dropped.
"I'll love you forever, Ikuto…especially if you take off that outfit," Amu said.
"HELL YES!!"
"I guess there really is someone for everyone," Amu said softly.
"Except for Yaya!" Yaya cried.
"Yo Hinamori Amu! Yo left me for some other dawg!" Kairi said miserably as he appeared out of no where wearing baggy pants and a shirt with a silver necklace.
"What happened to you?" Yaya asked.
Kairi shrugged.
"I tried to pimp myself out," he said in his normal voice putting his glasses back on.
"Yaya sees," Yaya chirped. "Yaya now has a true love!" she added.
"What?" Kairi asked.
"No," Tadase growled. "He's mine!"
Because naturally, Tadase has to be the love rival of someone. And so the battle for the unwilling heart of Sanjou Kairi began.
