---

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori was soon laying on her couch, looking ready to conk out. She did snuggle up just a little bit to her best friend, an arm hugging hers and... yup, still no development. Still though, Amu got really close during the scary scenes and didn't get nervous at ALL when she was allsnuggled up to Nades. A complete 180 from Nagi.

However... she was, after a bit... "Nade-chan. What if love really is a pie?" she asked softly, in the midst of having her face buried in Nade's back during a scary scene.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
It had been a quick change, literally. As soon as Nagihiko had settled Amu on the couch and requesting some movie watching snacks from Aunty, he'd changed out of his slacks and slid on a nice pair of pants with legs so wide and billowy it looked like a skirt when she walked.

She'd be lying if it didn't sting a part of her at Amu's drastic differences in behaviors to the two sides of her. After all, self discovery is still an ongoing process for Nadeshiko. But she much prefers that mild, almost non-existant sting to the heartache of a few months ago.

Right now, she's somewhat pushed forward as Aunty comes in and sets up a tray of snacks for them, and Nades thanks her, and then the older woman leaves. Fortunately, if the older woman heard any pie talk, she didn't let on.

"I think, if it is like pie, you need to figure out if only one flavor at a time is fine with you. But you should probably also know that some different flavors are okay with just being looked at."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori sighed and nodded. "But... but I keep hurting Tadase-kun. We had another fight and... and what if he's right? What if I don't love him the way he loves me? I thought I did, but what if the reason I don't love him and only him is because I don't love him as much? What if I love him and Kukai and Ikuto and Naji and Eilam and--" Oh my gosh girl, get a list! "almost as much because I haven't given him my full heart? What... what if I CAN'T love someone like that? What kind of horrible person does that make me?" she asked with a little whimper. Then, in a very soft voice. "Is the werewolf gone?"

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
She scowls a bit as she listens. "Yeah, the werewolf's gone."

It's a quick shift, and she has Amu snuggled against her, petting her fingers through comparatively short pink hair.

"For some people...monogamy is their way. For other people, loving more than one person is their way. It doesn't make you a horrible person. You may be hurting him right now, but maybe he's also hurting you."

She sighs and clarifies something. "And I'm not saying this because of how Nagihiko may or may not about you. If he does, I don't think he'd be able to bring himself to do anything about it. He loves you both too much, and everything's just all confusing, is't it."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nodded. "yeah. and..." she blinked and then. "I keep forgetting that you two are... I'm sorry," she whispered. "Nade-chan, I just... I don't... what if... what if I am only capable of this? what if all I can do is hurt Tadase-kun? Over and over and over? H-how can... how can I ever d-deserve someone so amazing if this is what I am?" She shook her head. "Why can't I just like one boy? Why can't I just get all of my emotions in line and MAKE them work properly? I love Tadase-kun and I just... I want to love him only. But then... there's so many other boys who are just... so... wonderful." She closed her eyes and leaned against her, little tears in her eyes while she watched the movie.

"How can I not be a horrible person if... I keep hurting someone I care about so much?" She then sighed again. "I mean, at least with na.. with... you, it's easy. You're like me, you just like boys. So I know nothing could happen there. But then I'll see Ikuto-kun, or Eilam-kun will kiss my cheek and I just... I freeze up and I imagine being with them instead of Tadase-kun and it's just... gahhhhh."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
"We're both young, Amu-chan. We're figuring out who we are." Heh. "Emotions never work like you think they should. There's nothing wrong with you."

She sighs. She has a couple crushes, but most are in their circle. So she goes for the one she isn't, figuring it's safer. "It's like...okay, Kunzite? He makes my heart flutter. I dunno why. I tried to maim him the first time we met. Not that it worked, mind you. The guy's very agile, even when he's trying not to be..."

She drifts off in thought for a moment before shaking herself. "What I'm trying to say. I get fluttery in the heart. And he's one of the few people I won't flirt with to make Kukai jealous when I'm in a mood. Because Kukai may not know about Kunzite, but he knows I like...more than one person. But whatever fluttering thought goes through my mind, I don't see tomorrow with Kunzite. I see tomorrow with Kukai."

She sheepishly rubs the back of her head. "Heh. That probably doesn't make much sense, does it?" And then she jerks a bit, stills, and her face turns red. "Just...? Um..."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nods and sighs. "I... I guess. But sometimes. Sometimes I wonder if like..." she hugged herself. "It'd just be easier if Tadase-kun and I broke up." !!!!!! "I... I keep hurting him. And he could be with someone so, so much better than me. A hundred, a thousand times better. Someone who liked him and only him," she said with a shake of her head, laying against Nade with a sigh and closing her eyes.

"But I only see tomorrow with..." Then her cheeks turned red. "Oh my gosh I'm the worst! I-I can see tomorrow with tadase and ikuto and and--" and then, scary monster and she buried her head in Nade's chest with a shriek.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko blinks in surprise. "Break up with...?" Wow.

And then suddenly she's ranting, then shrieking and her face tries to work its way into his chest cavity. Nadeshiko turns a deeper shade of red.

"I-I-I um."

It takes a moment for his innergirl to take back over.

And she sighs and holds Amu close. "You're not...the worst. I spend too much time inside my own head figuring things out."

"As for the other thing?" She chews on her lip. "Talk to Tadase-kun about it. Because I'm betting the hurt you're feeling is worth it, right? He may feel the same in that regard."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori shakes her head. "NO! I-I can't! Last time I told him... I told him about my crushing and about europe and... and..." Tears welled up in her face as she looked up at Nade and, unfortunately for her, she sparkled.

"I-I can't. You should have seen his face. H-he was so sad. He was crying. I-I made him cry! Again! I-I never, ever want to see him cry but I just keep doing it!" She whimpered and laid against her. "I-I just... I just don't know how any of this works. I just want my heart to stop fluttering every time I meet a cute guy. Ugh, why can't all the guys in my life be awful monsters and jerks? Then I'd stop liking them! Like that stupid prince!"

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Her vehement response caused Nadeshiko to jump a bit. And that sparkling doesn't help anything. Twitch, twitch.

"Ah...heh heh..."

And she tries to make a light joke as she hugs Amu. Mostly to get away from the sparkle. Okay, mostly to comfort, too. "Unfortunately, the Fujisaki gene that makes us gorgeous also makes us nice. Everyone around us is doomed."

Then she sighs, opens her mouth, and pauses. Blinks agan. "Prince? The one from today? Or Maoru-kun? I get the feeling with the latter, I mean, sure, he comes across as a grumpy sort, but I'd say that's more introversion reacting to the necessity of interaction than anything else."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori shakes her head and makes a face. "Ugh, no. While I was in europe, this prince came to the school I was at. Apparently he was buying a castle or something diplomatic. His father was nice, but he was the rudest, most self centered guy I'd ever met. He even told me to marry him and gave my parents an elephant, I mean, really!"

She shook her head. "I didn't see him for long but he was just the rudest person I'd ever met! Ugh. Nothingl ike tadase-kun."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
"An elephant, huh?" She strokes her chin in thought. Then she shakes her head. "Nah. Even if I can convince him I have girl bits, Temari'd probably get me arrested for murder."

"Well, you know. There's a difference between a person who is a prince through and through and someone who just has a title and doesn't see a reason to earn it."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nodded with a sigh. "Yeah... And no killing him. He's a jerk, but his dad was really nice. Hopefully he rubs off on him. Dad took pictures of them meeting with the prime miinister. Well, okay, the prime minnister's bird." She was still in Nade's chest, looking up at her. Her eyes were closed a bit and she nestled in. "You're always so warm..."

"Uh oh..." Miki said.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Twitch. Twitch, twitch. Twitch. "I-It's genetics!"

Suddenly she's lurching forward for the tray of snacks, takinga grape soda and downing most of it in one swallow.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori eeped and fell off. she looked confused, but that at least managed to wake her up. She cocked her head to the side. "uhhhh... Nade-chan? Are you okay?" She picked herself up off the ground and sat back down, yawning.

"Nade-chan... can I..." She chewed on her lower lip. "If I tell you something... important... can you promise not to tell anyone? Especially not Kukai-kun or Tadase-kun?" She looked off to the side. "And... and promise you... won't try to stop it? as long as I'm careful and... don't do anything to put myself in danger?"

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
It's been awhile since her voice broke, but it chooses to do so now. "yEah, I'm goOd!"

Well, that's embarassing.

For some reason, Nadeshiko sits on the floor, legs crossed as she looks up at Amu. Her eyebrows furrow a bit.

She knows, for some reason, that she has to answer carefully. "If you're careful. And cautious. And if whatever it is is something I think I should be there for, I think I could keep the secret so long as you're in no danger. But the moment you are, would be the moment I can't."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nods and then hugs her knees to her chest and... "Are you sure you're okay? Don't choke on it," she said with a smile. Miki just gave a knowing nod. Then Amu sighed.

"I've been letting Lacrima-chan feed on me. Don't get upset!" she said quickly. "I've been very careful, she has made sure not to draw too much, just enough so she doesn't need to feed on anyone else. And I've been out of commission because of my arm, so it's not like i need to fight!" No wonder she's been not fighting lately. And been willing to wear the cape on occasion.

"But I just... this way she doesn't have to track anyone else down, right? No attacking people. And I swear I've been careful. But if Tadase-kun or Kukai-kuun find out they'll get... mad," she mumbled, before giving another yawn. "So... don't tell them... I promise Lacrima-chan I wouldn't tell them because Kukai-kun will get really mad but... you're my best friend and I know I can trust you with anything, right?"

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Her heart just sort of stops.

She hasn't been around Lacrima that often. The only time she remembers vividly was the fight Sky Jack and Beat Jumper got into with her.

Nadeshiko's opinion of Lacrima...isn't all that high.

Then again, Amu's is.

And it's a bit of a conundrum, and there's a brief moment where her eyes flash a 'that's not fair' as the best friend card is used.

"I want...to be there when it happens. A few times, maybe all. And I want you to tell me after if its exactly the way it normally is, or if she's going easier because she has an audience.

Then she points at Miki, meaning all the charas. "And if something even tastes like it's going south and I'm not there, one of you will call or come get me immediately, is that understood?"

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nods and grins and then hugs her. Tightly. "Oh, thank you Nade-chan! I knew I could count on you! I knew I could, I knew I could!" she says all too happily. "A-and don't worry. I usually... well, it's a bit tiring, but the effects wear off pretty fast. And it's a lot easier than chasing x-eggs. It hurts a little bit but... I mean... just doing this lets me stop her from having to hurt other people. That's good, right?"

She gave her big, sparkly grin and, sadly for Nade, she's right up close to her again. "I'll call her up and let her know, okay? It's just temporary, too. I'm sure we'll find others she can feed off, too." There was a look of sadness in ehr eyes when she said that.

Then she hugged Nades tighter and buried her head in her shoulder. "I... I just... I just keep thinking about if... if something l-like that had happened to o-one of us. If we'd... if we'd become... something like that. W-what if you o-or Tadase-kun o-or Kukai-kun had become... that and... and I just... I just..." Was... was she crying? She wa laying limp against the other girl.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
It's a good thing Amu's hugging her that tightly. That means, aside from the small smile of affection, it's very clear from Nadeshiko's expression she isn't nearly as happy about this as Amu. "You're a good person."

She sighs and pets Amu's hair, letting her cling. "I don't think any of us would. But if one of us did, the others would find a way to bring them back."

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nodded, closing her eyes. "What if they couldn't be? I'm not... I'm not a little girl anymore. I know... I know things don't always work out. No matter how hard we try, no matter... no matter how much we want it... sometimes... there isn't some good, happy ending. Everyone doesn't always get along. You don't always get what you want."

Her charas were looking at her with solemn expressions. "Sometimes... sometimes bad things happen and there's nothign you can do to stop it no matter how hard you try. No matter how much you hate seeing people get hurt..." She clutched nade's back, giving a little sob. Laying a bit more against her.

However, after a bit, the sobbing would stop, her hand would loosen and she'd be breathing very softly in nade's ear. Had... had she fallen asleep?

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko sighs. "It's true. There's never a guarantee. But I do know that whoever is left will do their best to try to make one."

Eventually, Amu falls asleep. Nadeshiko's tempted to wake her, decides against it, and eventually and carefully she's on the couch, Amu snuggles against her, and she's happily watching realy bad horror movies.
