Aya: OMG!! I'm allowed to have some time on the computer!! YAY!! and PLZ DON'T GET MAD AT ME FOR STARTING ANOTHER STORY!! it's because, my other stories, since they are somewhere in the middle chapters, I prefer the chapters to be long. And since my punishment is that I can't stay on the computer for too long, and to write long chapters take me a while..so I'm sorry. (this punishment won't last forever…don't worry)but since it's the first chapter of this story, I actually can kind of make this a little shorter than my regular ones.

Ikuto: Wow. That is like, the lamest excuse. Ever.

Aya: (death glare at Ikuto) Do you want me to go Shion mode on you??

Ikuto: NOOO!!

Aya: lol, okay. enjoy! and I do not own Shugo Chara or it's fellow characters!!

Stuck Together: Chapter 1

Setting: Amu and Ikuto are in the same school. I am explaining this so there won't be any confusion.

Amu's POV

The alarm clock made a loud beeping noise the second it was 8:00 A.M. I groaned and slammed my hand against the "off" button. I sighed and sat up. I stretched and yawned. I looked lazily at the clock.

OH NO!!!

"I'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!!" I shrieked, and immediately pulled on my uniform and looked at myself in the mirror. I groaned and fixed her hair and quickly pulled up the "X" clip on my pink bubble gum hair and fixed the hem on my skirt. (the uniform is the same from the anime. Same uniform from Ikuto's school. utau's uniform is like Amu's)

Finally, I was ready. I ran downstairs with my bag in my hands. "Oh, honey, your late," My mom, Midori called. I groaned. "I know that mom!" I shrieked, and then stuffed toast into my mouth and hungrily chewed it. I shut the door and ran out into the morning air.

My eyes widened when I saw the guy that I despised, that happens to live near me and goes to the same school as me.

And his name was, Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

Yes, THE Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

His midnight blue hair glistened as he turned to me. Ah, he had that stupid smirk plastered on his face again. He waved to me, with the dumpty key dangling from his wrist. I, too, had the humpty lock in my palm. "What the hell Ikuto, you were supposed to give me that recording last night," I groaned. Yes, I loved that show. And apparently he had broken his promise. His smirk immediately fell into a frown. "Oh, I came her all this way to walk you to school and this is how you treat me?! Well, you FORGOT to give me the notes from school!" Ikuto snapped back. Oh?! Well, if he gave me the recording I would've GAVE him it!

I glared at him. "Well, it's not MY fault your such an idiot!" I shot through her teeth. "You're the one who's the idiot here!" Ikuto hissed. We continued fighting like that, over stupid things. This was usually happening every morning. We seemed to disagree on everything. Ugh, he was wearing me out! He's so stupid!

Miki, Ran, Suu, Dia, and Yoru were desperately trying to make us stop, but I kept on fighting with Ikuto. I felt a little sorry for them, but this was the perverted idiotic cat I was talking with. It was pretty hard to deal with him.

Then, all of a sudden, the dumpty key and lock glowed. "What the-" I whispered, and all of a sudden, the dumpty lock and key reached forward to each other on their own.

"W-what is happening.." Ikuto whispered, and the chains tightened around our wrists like bracelets. "What is this?!? Are they trying to trick us or something?!" I groaned, but to my greatest surprise and fear, something unexpected happened.

Oh, and it was VERY unexpected.

The humpty lock and dumpty key were slammed shut together on the back side, causing our bracelets to attach to each other. "WHAT THE HECK?!?! L-LEMME TRY TO TAKE THIS OFF!" I shrieked in immediate panic, and desperately tried to rip it off the dumpty key. But, it didn't work! It was like it was a part of it! "How come the key and lock are acting like this!? I'm sure this has never happened before…but…I guess…we'll have to live through it at school…" Ikuto whispered.

I groaned and sighed, my cheeks were probably flustered red right now. We'd have to be stuck together for the whole day? Or even LONGER?!!? This was so going to cause trouble!

"Um.."

"WHAT DO YOU WANT, IKUTO!?" I snapped.

"…..It would look awkward if the students saw us with a chain on our wrists, right? Like we've been arrested." Ikuto suddenly suggested.

"Hm…I suppose that'll be werid.." Yes, it would be. Our reputations would be shot at first, and everyone would spread rumors.

"So…shouldn't we hold hands?"

I froze and my cheeks deepened in it's blush. I pulled away, but the dumpty key and lock held me back. "W-what?!!? Are you serious?!" I screamed. No, this cannot be happening to me!

Ikuto sighed. "I know, rumors will start, but, it does seem like the only loophole without suspicion," Ikuto explained.

I sighed, still blushing. Aw man, I definitely had no choice. "F-fine, then. I guess I have no choice.." I whispered. I didn't move my hand for a while, so Ikuto decided to take the initiative and suddenly grabbed my hand as we approached school. I blushed deeper and had no other choice but to grip his hand too.

His hands were warm and soft…it felt amazingly comfortable. I blushed even deeper at the thought.

To meet my fears, people were actually staring. They were whispering things to each other. I bet it was gossip.

I sighed as we approached class. Oh nooo! Ikuto's sister was coming with a smile on her face when she saw Ikuto, but that smile suddenly fell as her eyes were on our hands. I've always knew that she had a crush on Ikuto, which was totally gross, since they were blood related. I wonder why she always came to school early, but that was probably because Ikuto is always kind of late like me. But, strange enough, Ikuto didn't seem to know.

But, Utau, when she's mad, it wasn't going to be pretty.

"Hi Ikuuto!! I was getting worried, you were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't wake you up..so I was started to regret that," Utau whispered, using her ever-so-fake-cute voice. (Don't get me wrong, I love Utau! I just needed someone for..something) Ikuto sighed and patted her in the head.

"It's alright," and Utau blushed and giggled. Then, she turned to me, a serious look on her face. And she was slightly glaring at me. "Um..why are you guys holding hands?" She whispered softly. I had a feeling she was struggling to be polite.

"It's a long story, Utau," Ikuto insisted. Utau sighed and looked at me, and smiled an obviously fake smile. "Well, I hope you guys have a good day!" She called, and ran to her class.

I grunted in disgust. "Hey, Amu, could it be that you don't like Utau?" Ikuto asked, confused. I looked at him as if he was dumb. I sighed and didn't answer, but said, "Ikuto, you really need to wake up." He stared at me in a strange way, and then we walked to class, and we had to sit next to each other. I inwardly groaned at the people whispering something, definitely about us.

"Oh..are those two together?"

" I don't know..but they look really good together!"
"….I can't believe she's acting like that with Ikuto, the hottest guy in school!! She has to pay.." Oh shoot. A girl was pretty much creating a hate group. I hope they don't beat me up after school…

I looked at Ikuto, and it looked like he thought it was nothing. What was wrong with him!?! He, actually, looked perfectly normal. And here I am, my face flushed, our hands entwined, and me in a nervous state.

There was something definitely wrong with him.

Ikuto's POV

I haven't been this nervous in my life. I kept my face cool and calm, but Amu pretty much didn't seem to have a good job. While she was looking away, I took a quick glance of her. Her face was blushing madly, her lips pursed, and her eyes were looking irritated. Her hair was falling slightly on her face, but she didn't take notice. Her bubble gum pink hair reached up to her shoulders.

I got to admit, for an annoying, stubborn, dimwitted girl, she was pretty cute.

Amu's POV

I gulped hard when the teacher came in. Nikaido-sensei was shuffling his paper, while he was staring weirdly at us. He looked like he was about to say something about us.

I felt awkward when Utau was sitting on the far corner, glaring daggers at me. Plus, the threatening glare of the girls that like Ikuto were making me far more nervous. And the stare that our teacher gave us. Oh, boy.

Oh, how convenient. I happen to be stuck together with the guy that I simply despise and hate the most, and even doing so, the girls at the school will seem to hate me. This wasn't going to be pretty.

It seems that, again, I'd be stuck together with this idiot. For today? Or even longer, I suppose?!

This was obviously, going to be my worst day ever.

This was definitely going to be a long day.

Aya: Okay, sorry there wasn't much Amuto, but I promise that I'd put more in the next chapter. I hope I didn't anger any body. Please tell me what you think. This story is most likely going to be 6 or 7 chapters, or at the most, 10. I hope you like it!

Amu: So yeah…please rate and review! and enjoy!

Ikuto: AND DON'T WORRY! WHEN SHE HAS THE TIME, SHE'LL UPDATE HER OTHER STORIES! (which is probably going to be any time soon)
