Come

Psalm 7: I am with you

Pic added is a scene I love from an anime called Shugo Chara, in which a scene similar to it is in this chapter. The guy, Ikuto Tsukiyomi, is the basis for Ikuto Flute. Some of the best scenes he does are in this chapter. Dedication to authorchild, who told the name of the girl, Amu. Carrying on!

Isaiah 41:10 NIV

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

"Hey Ikuto!"

It was two days later, and Reiji had just came into the room, grinning. Speaking of Ikuto, I haven't heard anything since then, but that didn't mean that it was over.

We all stared at Reiji, waiting for him to break his news too Ikuto. I could tell Reiji was holding back his laughter. Ha ha ha. I say that it's not nice to laugh at friends, but this is an accepted circumstance.

Wait, was that Daichi? But before I could think anymore about it, Reiji finally said, "Daiko's here!"

Anubis snorted as Reiji kneeled to the floor, laughing. But I could see Ikuto, who was very pale and looked quite scared.

"IKUTO!" We all suddenly all heard a very high pitched squeal, the kind a girl would do when she's talking to a baby. Ikuto yelped, then turned into a cat and ran out of the room.

A woman older than me opened a different door than the one Ikuto ran out of. Her long blonde hair was in pigtails, and she looked very excited. "Where's Ikuto? I want to dress her up!"

Her? But Reiji and Anubis, still smiling, pointed in the direction she came from. She thanked them and ran back the way she came from.

That's when Anubis snorted again and Reiji kept laughing.

They looked at the rest of us, in which- we don't know what's going on.

Wait, that was Neutron. Great, the reading of minds was back again.

Reiji wiped a tear from his eye. "Oops! I probably should explain. You see, we've known Daiko since we were kids. But she never met human Ikuto; she's met his cat form. And she likes to dress things up. And crazy as she is, she thinks Ikuto's a girl cat. So any time she comes over, she tries to dress him up in a pink frilly dress! She'd only caught up to him once before, and the memory has stayed stuck in our minds."

I then imagined a black cat wearing a pink dress while looking very pissed off. Or did I get that from someone's mind? Either way, I started to giggle, seeing full well why they'd laugh.

Reiji put a hand on my shoulder. Then he put one on Vlad's. "Anyways, Ikuto won't appear until Daiko's gone, so let's practice without him!"

We did, but it wasn't the same without Ikuto.

It was after dinner. I went up to my room in order to practice my singing by myself.

When I opened my door, all I could see were two glowing eyes staring right at me.

I don't know about you, but I found that creepy. I started to scream, but someone covered my mouth.

It was Ikuto. He put a finger up to his lips. He then dragged me inside, closed my door, and put on the light.

He sighed, and took his hand off my mouth. "Sorry I scared you like that. But Daiko found the hiding place I had used for years, which was on the roof. In order to escape her, I went into the first door I could open. Sorry; I thought it was Vlad's."
