A/N:

Ikuto: Who the heck are you? *looks confused*

Angie-chan: Hey everyone! I'm a new author here at so please don't be too harsh on me… This is my first fanfiction and it took me a couple of weeks to write this chapter. But I will need some ideas… and YOU the all mighty Readers will help out! Please? So if you have any suggestions just PM me or leave it in the reviews please! Also, this will be an AMUTO I refuse to write TADAMU. Frankly they make me sick. Bleh bleh bleh. There might be some Tadase bashing but I'm not sure yet. I have an idea of where I want this to go but nothing definite. I don't plan things out. I just write. So I'm just as surprised as you guys are when you read this. I hope you guys will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed typing it!

Ikuto: That was long… you talk too much.

Angie-chan: . . . WHAAT? *gets evil glint in eye*

Ikuto: … *sweatdrops* uhh…

Amu: Ikuto! Baka Neko! Urusai! That is not nice! She's a new author here!

Angie-chan: Thanks Amu! You're so nice! And I really didn't want to do this… but I just might… actually *giggles* I do. So HAH! *brandishes catnip and tosses it to a surprised Amu.*

Ikuto: What the heck?... *sees catnip and chara changes*

Amu: *catches catnip and looks dumbfounded before noticing Ikuto's cat ears and tail and get s evil glint in eye as well.* Oh Ikuto… come here you sweet little Neko!

Ikuto: *follows Amu out room to adjacent one, purring and meowing.* Nya Nya…

Angie-chan: *gets sparkles in eyes* Kawaii! Too cute! *smacks self* Nuu! I need to work! So work I shall. Oh! And before I forget Ikuto is very out of character for this chapter. After this one he won't be aqs much character, so gomen for that. Also… I'm on spring break! Yay! So that means I might actually be able to update faster! After spring break… I make no promises… I have a lot of school work to do so yeah… I'll try my best! Now… ON TO THE STORY!

Ikuto: *pops head out from other room and deadpans* Gosh you're loud….

Angie: …. You're going to regret saying that…

DISCLAIMER: I Angie, do not own Shugo Chara or any of its awesomeness. Peach-Pit does. But If I did, It would be all Amuto, all the way :)

Chapter 1: To Jump of Not to Jump? That is the Question

I sighed as my alarm clock rang, signaling me to wake up and get ready for school. Truth be told, I hated this. All of it. My father was killed in an accident, along with my younger sister; and not being able to stand the grief my mother moved us. I was starting school in mid-October and I didn't even know anyone here in the small town of Seiyo. I was devastated. Well I guess it's time to pull out the old Hinamori Cool & Spicy façade. I loved my Papa very much and I hate my mother. Ever since he died Mama has gone evil. I sighed again, I needed to get dressed, and out of here before that witch wakes up.

I walked over to my closet pulling out the red plaid girl's uniform. Pulling it on, I adjusted my red armband and legwarmers. I had to wear it every day so why not apply it to my style? Last but not least, I brushed my now dry pink hair and put in two black x clips into my hair, holding my bangs messily back. I sighed once again as I remembered times from before Papa and Ami died. A single tear slid down my cheek and I let it fall. I had left my friends back home in Tokyo and I missed them terribly.

Picking up my schoolbag, I walked out the door. I groaned internally, thinking of the job I'd have to go to afterschool. I had a job to help support out home. I really had no choice about it. It was either get a job "or else" as my mother had put it. When I reached the school, a wonderful solution presented itself as I gazed up to the roof. In fact it was the solution to all of my problems. I entered the building and walked to the office to pick up the necessary paperwork and such.

Walking back out, I found the stairway I was looking for; the one that lead to the roof. I opened the door, making sure no one saw me as I climbed up the spiraling stairs. I admired the view as I walked over to the ledge and sat down, my legs dangling several hundred feet in the air. I wondered aloud, "Would anyone even miss me if I jumped off? Probably not since nobody here knows me… Hah! My witch of a mother would probably throw a party and dance on my grave once I was gone. It would probably be better if I jumped off and died." The sadness in me threatened to overflow into tears and I sniffled hard to prevent them from coming. Suddenly one of my favorite songs popped into my head and I began to sing [A/N: This song is called Miku's Rain and it's by Vocaloid I think… anyways, DO NOT OWN IT English meaning to each line is next to it lyrics and translation I got from Youtube!]

Miku's Rain

Hi no hikari, usshinau tame no hi ~ I lost the light of day and the sun

Kurushii no nanimokamo suteta noni ~ It's painful when everything has abandoned you

Omoidasu anata no kodou ~ I can remember your heartbeat

Kie nakatta wasure nakatta ~ I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to forget

Aishita koto o ~ Since I loved you

Anata wa watashi o dakishime ~ You would hold me close

Aisu watashi o ~ Since you

Aishita ~ Loved me

Nanoni anata doko e? ~ So then where did you go?

Ame de nagashi te~ The rain is beating down on me

Keshite, kiete ~ I'll vanish, I've vanished

Wasure sasete hishii no ~ I want to forget everything

Ananta no koto o ~ Even you

Mou nani mo ira nai ~Now there's nothing left

Kono ame de ~And this rain

Nagashite ~Will continue to pour

I was so caught up in my singing, I didn't even notice when the door opened and someone gasped. I didn't hear the footsteps coming closer to me either. What I did hear was this, "No it wouldn't." said a deep, husky voice from behind me. I tensed up and pulled in a breath. "AAAAAAAHHHHH!" I screamed and jumped straight up and backwards. I grabbed by bag and blindly ran towards the door. Instead, I managed to run into a wall. A rather warm, comfortable wall. I tensed up yet again and took a step back, blushing wildly. I was so embarrassed. Now I really felt like dying. I looked down, stuttering nonsense and moving back towards the edge until a hand stopped me.

"Don't you ever think those things. No matter how much our lives may suck, suicide is never the answer. I'm sorry about your mom being so mean and terrible. Trust me, I know exactly how you feel. My step- father's a monster. But let's put that behind us. Look at me." As much as I didn't want to, his beautiful voice compelled me to look at him. If his voice was that soothing what would he look like, I wondered? Blushing harder, I slowly looked up into his eyes. I gasped quietly but he still heard it. A small smirk reached his lips but I ignored it. His eyes were so beautiful, so alluring and mysterious. They were all shades of blue; specks of azure, cerulean, indigo, violet, amethyst, navy and royal decorated his eyes. Yet, I could see right through it. I could see all the pain and tiredness he held there. He has suffered much in his life. I could tell. My eyes widened slightly as I stood there, he was actually letting me read all of what his eyes had to say. They told a sad tale of suffering and hopelessness. Blinking, I explored the rest of his face as he held me there. His hair was an amazing shade of midnight blue; it was like he carried a piece of the night sky upon his head. His hair was perfectly messy. He was hot, sexy, beautiful. But nobody would ever hear me say that.

"Well? Are you going to tell me your name, or are you just going to stare at me all day?" he smirked at me, causing me to blush even harder. "Not like I would mind anyways. You're more fun to be around than everyone else, and I've only just met you. "I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto, you can call me Ikuto-sama, Ikuto-koi, or just Ikuto is fine with me" he said with a wink. Immediately my blush receded and my Cool& Spicy façade returned. I sighed internally in relief, glad the blush was gone and that it was there to put him in his place.

I hmphed and put my hand on my hip. "Don't put your hopes up Tsukiyomi-san. I'm not that easy to win over. The name's Hinamori Amu." Ikuto chuckled, "Come on Amu. We both know you're not really like that. Drop the act; you can be yourself around me. In fact, let's make a deal. When we're alone with each other, we both have to remove the masks and facades we hide behind. Deal?" Wait, first I called him Ikuto, since when did I get so familiar around him? And second, he saw through my façade? I started freaking out internally and soon it rose to the surface. Ikuto simply smirked at me, causing me to blush yet again. What is up with me blushing so much all of a sudden? I never blush. Too embarrassed to respond, I simply nodded my head and shook his outreached hand.

"You're new here right? Believe it or not, I'm supposed to show you around the school. And I'm not totally sure but I think you're in all of my classes. Let's be friends okay?" He extended his hand towards me and I shook it once again. I nodded in defeat and handed over my schedule. He compared mine with his and a smirk crept its way onto his face. We had every single class together for the whole year. I was somewhat relieved. At least there was one person I knew in all my classes. Feeling much better, I suddenly hugged him, burying my head in his chest. He was surprised, that much I could tell. He had tensed before his arms managed to snake their way around my petite waist, pulling my small body closer to his tall, lean one. "Th-thanks for r-reaching out and b-being my friend. Y-you s-saved m-me from m-m-myself. I hope we can grow to be great friends s-someday." I whispered into his chest. I looked up to find him actually smiling at me. So I guess he heard me. I blushed a bit and ruffled his hair before grabbing my bag. I walked back over and stood next to him. Smirking at me, he fixed his hair and said "Let's get to class now shall we? Oh and I should warn you; I suggest you hold on to my arm when we reach the door downstairs." I gave him a questioning look to which he simply replied, "Fangirls. They follow me everywhere and try to rape me…" My look of shock remained for longer than I wanted it to. But then again, Ikuto was the only person who I could actually be myself with. We opened the door to the roof and descended down the stairs. Before he opened the door I asked, "Do you want to come over afterschool today?"

A/N:

Angie: Phew! That took forever for me to type! SO many interruptions! As well as the fact that my mother switched internet providers so I was without internet for a couple of days… Sorry to keep you guys waiting!

Ikuto: Again. That was long. You talk too much.

Angie: You keep ticking me off like that and I just might have to change this to a Tadamu… *shivers* ugh!

Ikuto: *eyes widen slightly* What? You wouldn't actually do that would you? Uh, I mean Gomenesai

Angie: That's more like it!

Ikuto: Will there be any lemons in this story?

Angie: …. Well, for now it's rated T. There are no lemons in T stories. But maybe in much later chapters there might be… So I just might change this to an M. I just don't know yet…

Ikuto: Ugh! So indescicive…

Amu: Angie-chan… we're friends right?...

Angie: Of course Amu-chan.

Amu: Then why are you doing this to me? Why must you torture me with Ikuto, and future lemons! Why?

Angie: ... ummmm…It's not torture because-

Ikuto: Because you know you like it. You know you love me and can't get enough of me and my sexiness. You said so yourself in the story *smirks*

Amu: *blushes and stutters nonsense* S-See Angie-chan! Look what you've done! You just boosted his ego! And on top of that- mffff

Ikuto: *takes Amu by the waist and carries her bridal style to the adjacent room* That hurts. You were naughty Amu. So I'm going to have to punish you… *smirks once again*

Amu: Get away from me you Pervert! *kicks and punches to no avail*

Angie: can somebody…

Ai: I'll do it! Hey guys! You don't know about me yet, but if you guys hit the button and review, you'll know exactly who I am and how I help bring Amu and Ikuto together!~Nya See ya later!~Nya
