Meeting the Team


"Amu, meet the team! Most of them you know already though." Ran told me.

"I'm Daichi, Kukai's younger brother. I'm in 9th grade." a boy with green hair said, shaking my hand energetically.

"Yo I'm Yoru! Nice to meet you! I'm the same grade as Daichi, and Ikuto's cousin." Another boy practically yelled in my ear. He had the same eye and hair color as Ikuto.

"I'm Temari. It's very nice to meet you. I choose the dance moves that the dance squad uses." A girl with long purple hair said shyly.

"Don't be fooled by her politeness. She has a short temper." Utau whispered to me. Ikuto snickered at this since he was right next to me.

"Sup I'm Rhythm! I help choose the song for the squad! I'm Temari's twin bro, but we're in different homerooms." A boy with similar looks as Temari hugged me. A girl with black and red hair was standing in the back, watching with cautious eyes.

"Hello. My name is Jordan Star. I was the newest member last year." She said, nodding at me. "And in case your wondering, no I didn't dye my hair. It's naturally black and red." Wow that's cool I thought as I smiled at her.

Nagihiko and Nadeshiko laughed in sync. That's what the twins do after all.

"Well thank you all for coming! Audition next year of you want another shot at joining the dance squad!" Ran said into the microphone.

"Wait you only let one person join each year? How come?" I asked as all the students started to leave the auditorium.

"We only accept the best of the best." Ikuto stated bluntly. I nodded. It made sense after all.

"Now then who wants ice cream?!" Ran and daichi proclaimed, raising a fist in the air as they did. Everyone agreed and decided on Baskin Robins. Pepe, Yaya, and Utau all went in Utau's jeep, Daichi and Ran left in their truck. Temari, Rhythm, Nadeshiko and Nagihiko all leave in their own cars.

"Want a lift?" Ikuto asked as he walked over to his motorcycle. I nodded and we rode to the ice cream shop.

Walking into the chilly shop, everyone waves at Ikuto and I as we enter. They were all looking at the flavors. Jordan however was already eating an ice cream cone. Ikuto goes to the cashier and orders a chocolate ice cream scoop in a bowl.

"Hi can I get a two scoop strawberry and chocolate sugar cone?" I ask the cashier. He starts getting my ice cream when someone hugs me from behind. "Hey let go!"

"Aw but why Amu? I haven't seen you in so long." An all to familiar voice said in my ear. I struggle to turn and face the person. Staring at me with pink eyes was Tadase. My face turns red. Not from embarrassment, but from the fact that I broke up with him.

"Tadase, I broke up with you weeks ago. Let go of me." I tell him sternly. He tightens his hug, telling me he wouldn't let go. Ikuto walked up to me, eyes filled with anger. The rest of his face was expressionless though.

"Tadase, let her go. She isn't dating you anymore." He said. Tadase glared at Ikuto, tightening his hug again.

"Make me Tsukiyomi. It's not like she's dating you." Tadase sneered. I elbowed him in the gut, making him let go of me. I ran and hid behind Ikuto before he could grab me again. "Amu, your dating him?!" He asked, dumbfound and hurt.

"No, but he's one of my closest friends." I say from behind Ikuto. I press my face to his back slightly as I watch Tadase.

"Tadase, she isn't interested in you anymore. Just leave." Ikuto pointed to the door. The cashier looked from Tadase, to Ikuto, to me and back again.

"If your going to fight, could you take it outside?" The cashier said. Tadase sneered at Ikuto again.

"I'll get you back Amu." He said before exiting Baskin Robins.

"Can I have my ice cream please?" The cashier gives me my ice cream. Leaving the money on the counter, I walk to an empty table.

"Amu-chii, you okay?" Yaya asked me. She took in a mouth full of her cotton candy ice cream.

"Yeah I'm fine. Ikuto want the rest of my ice cream?" I offer the remains of my ice cream. I ate most of it, only some chocolate ice cream and the cone remained.

"Sure." He smirked, taking the ice cream cone from me. "But are you sure your okay? You've been staring out the window for a while now." He asked, a hint of concern in his voice. I nodded, looking at everyone. Jordan was staring out the window also, eyes clouded as she thought of something.
After that, everyone that I didn't really know started telling me stuff about them. I found out that Ran and Daichi were dating, Rhythm and Temari were the cousins of Nadeshiko and Nagihiko, and that Jordan had moved here from Hawaii last year!

"Jordan used to have a long distance relationship until last week. They broke up because her boyfriend had seemed to loose interest in her." Pepe told me. That would explain why she seems so preoccupied.

When everyone finished their ice cream, we went to my house. My mom was surprised at how many teenagers were entering her home, but didn't say anything.

"This is my room. It should be big enough for us all to do whatever." I said, walking into my room. I picked up all of my bean bag chairs and put them under my bed. Ikuto lay on the bed, curling his body into a ball. It reminded my of a cat sleeping.

"Wow Amu, nice room. I can't believe I haven't been in here yet." Utau pouted. We all laughed at this. I took my ipod out of my backpack and was getting ready to put on a song when my mom knocked on the door.

"Amu, I need you to watch Ami tonight. Papa and I are going to a party." She said before Ami ran into the room.

"Onee-chan! Can we pway pwease?" Ami hugged my leg and looked up at me with puppy dog eyes. I sighed, looking at my friends for some kind of support.

"Okay Ami, but after we practice okay?" I told her, taking her arms and gently removing them from my leg. She nodded and sat on my bed.

"Ow." Ikuto said emotionlessly as Ami sat on his foot. She giggled as I carried her off of Ikuto's foot, mumbling a sorry to him in the process. After I set her down on the floor, I was pulled onto the bed by Ikuto.

"L-let go Ikuto." I said. My face turned 10 shades of red. Ikuto ignored me, as always, and buried his face into my hair.

"Your hair is so silky and smooth." He nuzzled my ear gently. I jumped, making both me and Ikuto fall onto the floor.

"Ow. Hey get off me Ikuto." I said, trying to get out from under Ikuto. He got off and looked away. I could have sworn I saw him blushing. Jordan helped me up before sitting herself down next to Ami. They started playing with some of Ami's toys which made Jordan smile. She must really like Ami I thought as I watched them for a few more minutes.

We talk about songs with good beats to dance to at the dance competition. At around 7:00 pm, everyone left. "How was your day Amu?" my mom asked during dinner.

I smiled as I said "It was great!"
