A Shugo Chara! Fanfic

Summary:

Author's Note:
Again, testing of the waters and see how you people like it. This idea had been bugging me for awhile, since I've been listening to awesome music non-stop lately and I thought I'd give it a shot. Depending on how many reviews I get, I might hurry up with the next chapter because this story is very inspirational. I was going to make this a sort-of sequel to Hot Chocolate, but decided against it because this story may have the same age gaps of Amu and Ikuto, but everyone else is different. And since in Hot Chocolate, it mentioned Shugo Charas, I couldn't write this story without somehow involving them. So sorry. In this story, if I ever mention the Shugo Charas, they'll be human, obviously. Now, let's see how this story shall go, shall we?

And again, I had no one beta read this story for me so I hope my grammar is all right and not awkward. And if should any of the characters become out of place, please feel free to tell me so!

Oh, also, I intended that this story was going to get very steamy, but there's no details in the mature stuff in here. BUT, there's going to be PLENTY of sexual tension. -smirks-

Chapter One: Purple Cat

The pale-pinked haired female glared at the envelope before her. She was so eager and hopeful for when the letter would finally come, but after having been rejected from several different colleges already, this was her last hope. The Institute of the Artistically Sensational of Nevada was prestigious and no doubt, the toughest school to get in. Despite the fact that it was located in Nevada, it was actually in one of the most promising locations as it was set near California of Los Angelos, Las Vegas, and San Francisco as well as Hollywood. She was actually eager to go and explore a new place and meet new people. She was interested in seeing Las Vegas, as she heard that the place was the city that never slept and being as she was of legal age, she was able to go into clubs and such, but the only con of this is that she was under legal drinking age. She didn't mind though, as long as she get to see the city that never sleeps, next to New York City of course.

She sighed, again, still glaring at the envelope before her.

"Amu!" her mother called her, snapping her out of her glaring/staring contest with the envelope. Before she could answer, her mother popped her head in to take a look at what her daughter was doing. "Still glaring at the envelope?" she sighed. "You know, it's best to get it over with and find out if you made it in or not."

"I know… but the toughest part is that this is my last hope, my last school that I've applied at," Amu groaned. She did not like that this was her last option as well as her dream school.

Her mother sighed, aggravated. "If you don't want to open it, do you want me to open it for you?"

"Yes please!" Amu eagerly thrust her envelope into her mother's hands.

She sighed as she took it and sat across from Amu on her bed. Amu fidgeted on the bed as her mother fixed her glasses momentarily before she opened the envelope. After she did, she skimmed the letter before giving the letter to Amu.

"I-Is it good news?" she whispered, scared to take the letter.

"Amu… I don't have all day…" her mother sighed again.

Closing her eyes, she snatched the letter and slowly opened her eyes. When she read the first line, she jumped up from her bed and screamed out in joy. "YES! I MADE IT IN!" she shouted out in glee. Her mother only shook her head with a smile before watching her daughter dancing around.

"Congratulations, Amu," she said as she hugged her overly happy daughter.

"Oh, man, I'm so excited!" she hugged her mother back. "I'm so happy!"

"Well now, let's go prepare dinner for your celebration of getting in, hmm?"

Before Amu could answer, her little sister raced into the room. "Nee-chan, did you make it in?" Her little sister had bright eyes and a sparkling smile. She looked eager to find out if she had indeed made it in. At this moment in time, her little sister was only eleven years old; a long way to go before she catches up to her admired older sister.

Amu laughed, "Yes, Ami, I made it in!" As she spoke, she lifted up her little sister into the air and hugged her. "Now, let's go downstairs and celebrate!"

* * *

Now, here she was, at the college's grounds and boy, was the grounds huge! Well, she shouldn't be shocked as there were dorms in one area of the grounds and all sorts of studios all over the grounds. Deciding that she should check in with the dorms first, she walked in and found herself in a small lobby for the girls. On her left was a little sitting area with a large LED TV screen of 56 inches. There was two students sitting there before they decided to get up and put it away; she watched with slight awe as she watched it slide down into the cabinet below it.

Snapping herself out of her awe, she walked over to the office on her right and entered the small office. Inside was a small desk with a woman sitting behind the desk as she looked at some papers and a computer on her left. When Amu entered, the woman looked up and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, welcome to Dormitory B of the Institute of the Artistically Sensational," she greeted as she stood up to shake hands with Amu. "I'm Koko, and I'm the supervisor of this dorm. May I have your name please?"

"I'm Amu Hinamori," Amu said, walking forward.

"Ah, you're new this year," Koko noted as she skimmed through the contents on the computer screen. "Hmm… I'll be printing out your dorm room information as well as some information on your roommates." Amu vaguely heard the sound of something printing somewhere… "Here you are." She handed Amu a slip of warm paper with numbers and information on it. Before Amu could really look at it, Koko also handed Amu her room key.

"Don't lose that, because we rarely make new ones for lost ones… of course, should that happen, please report to me." Koko had walked back to sitting behind her desk. "It's suggested you put it around your neck at all times, so that you don't lose it."

Luckily, Amu only carried two bags, one was on a rolling suitcase that held her dancing gear and clothes and the other bag which was on the handle of the suitcase, was filled with other miscellaneous things that Amu felt that she needed.

"Yes, okay," Amu nodded. "Is that all?"

"Hmm… everything seems to be in order… yes, after you've set your belongings down, go check in at the school's front office so that you may get your class schedule. Other than that, classes do not start for another two days, so you can enjoy yourself at the centers we have. There'll be a map for each student here in their dorm room so that you don't get lost. If you have any other questions, just ask me here, or call me through extension xxxx. All right?"

Amu nodded and said, "It was nice meeting you, Koko."

"The pleasure was all mine, now please, go ahead and enjoy yourself."

After that, Amu left the office and decided to begin heading to her dorm room. Let's see… Amu thought as she looked at the sheet of paper:

Dormitory B

Dorm Room: 431

Roommates: Yaya Yuiki, Rima Mashiro, Utau Hoshina

Yaya Yuiki: Age 18

Dislikes: Snobby People

Utau Hoshina: Age 18

Amu laughed nervously in spite of herself. They sure are interesting people, Amu thought as she headed out of the elevator and entered an empty hallway. Now that she noticed, was she early? After all, Koko had said that classes didn't start for another two days. Hmm…

She walked down the emerald green carpeting until she came to her room. She slid the key into the lock and opened the door. Amu grinned when she found that there was a small sitting room with a small closet on her right side. She walked toward the bedrooms and was relieved to find four beds in the room, three of them already decorated of a comforter. One was of ducks, the other was of cute clown designs, and the last one had music notes all over it with blue in the background. Amu found that the window bed was the only one not decorated on yet. She dropped off her bags at the foot of the bed, where rested a small chest where she could place her clothes inside it. She looked out the window and found that they had a balcony. She was on the second floor and as she looked out, she could see a rather nice view of a nearby lake. She blinked. She wasn't expecting that.

She turned around the survey the room. Four full sized beds were placed around the room, two on each side. Each of them had a dark cherry brown wood of a nightstand with a white lamp on top of it with an alarm clock. One of the nightstands had comedic gag books stacked underneath the drawer of the nightstand, the other had a stuffed duck, and the other one had a basket that was unable to be seen through. There was a wall that separated the bedroom from the rest of the dorm room and Amu walked forward to find what else was in here. To her left was a small sitting room with another LED TV screen of 37 inches. Underneath had a couple of DVD players, but she recognized one of them to be a Blu-Ray DVD player. She grinned. She really applied to the best school ever! There was a glass coffee table and two wing chairs and a loveseat of red with pale green carpeting. She turned around and found herself in a kitchen. There was a monochrome fridge, an under mounted single bowled sink, a microwave, and a toaster. There was loads of cabinet space. There was also a breakfast nook for them to sit and have their breakfast, should they decide to have one.

She walked back to the bedroom and paused, and turned toward the bathroom. Inside, there were two under mounted sinks of white pearl. Three toothbrushes sat in a single cup in the corner of the counter space. Next to the sinks was a door to the toilet and a bathtub that also served as a shower. The bathroom had blue-oceanic tiling with waves on the curtain. As she headed back, she saw a mirror cabinet on the wall, and inside, she found a several perfume bottles as well as lotion and other miscellaneous things girls need to use in the bathroom.

Amu walked back into the bedroom and began to unpack. When she finished, she decided that she'll go and head out and explore the campus, taking the map with her.

She looped the key around her necklace that was around her neck.

When she headed out, she wore a v-neck t-shirt that had a graphic design of a strawberry on a black background. She wore comfortable dancing pants that looked like jeans. She wore her dancing sneakers, never knowing when she might go for a dance should the occasion come up.

Deciding that she ought to go check in at the front office, she headed toward the school lobby. When she got there, she found that the lobby was beautifully decorated. (Really, I'm too lazy to explain the itty-bitty details, so here's a link to follow: .) Along the railings were all sorts of art, paintings, and drawings, that it astounded Amu. There was even a few that were pictures of Dancers and Musicians at their work.

Amu walked into the sleek office: . and found herself amazed. It was so sleek and… clean! Before she even realized she was staring, a nearby office worker looked up and noticed her.

"Ah, new student?" she asked.

Amu nodded.

The lady at the desk chuckled. "Yeah, a lot of students act the way you do before they get used to it. This is the office; would you like me to help you with anything?"

"Um… yeah, I'd like to check in and get my schedule?"

"Name?" the lady asked as she typed on her keyboard.

"Amu Hinamori," she replied. She wondered mildly how many times she was going to have to introduce herself before she gets tired of repeating her name all day.

"Ah, the scholarship student," she chirped, sounding surprised.

"Wait, what?" Amu turned to look sharply at the lady. She didn't remember…

"Ah, it says here that since you were the millionth student to register, everything is now for free! Oh, lucky aren't you?" She paused as her eyes perused a bit more. "Ah, wait, it says that you won a competition to get the scholarship… Huh, you must have been really something if you won a scholarship."

Amu nodded. That sounded about right.

"Printing…" she announced. Then in about a few seconds, she handed Amu her schedule with an envelope thick of pamphlets and information. "The envelope is full of stuff that you'll need to know… or not know whichever is in your case."

Amu nodded before tucking it under her arm. "Thanks."

"No problem and welcome to the Institute of the Artistically Sensational!" she called as Amu left.

"Well, now that I've checked in, let's go check out the dance studios!" Amu mused aloud before her stomach rumbled. "Or… I'll grab a snack before I go dancing." First, she ran back to her dorm room to drop off the papers before heading to the cafeteria.

When she got there, there was only a handful of people there, quietly talking amongst themselves. . After grabbing an energy snack, she sat down and pulled open the map.

As she perused, she noticed that the music studios were on a different part of the grounds from the dance studios, but were practically next door to one another. She also noticed while perusing that the buildings were separate, depending on what kind of student a person was.

Students who studied in music, which were students who sang or played instruments, have their classes in Building A and the students who studied in dance were in Building B and students who studied in anything else art related were in Building C.

After finishing up her small meal, she grabbed her water bottle and headed out to the dance studio. When she got there, she bumped into a brown-orange haired female with two pig-tails.

"Sorry!" Amu gasped. She turned to face the girl she bumped into. She had brown eyes and appeared to be fair skinned with a petite body. She was shorter than Amu was.

"It's okay, I wasn't watching where I was going," she grinned in an apology. She blinked, "Are you new?"

"Yeah, I am," Amu said. "I'm just got here awhile bit ago. I'm Amu Hinamori, a dance student." She held out her hand for a handshake.

"Cool, I'm Yaya Yuiki," she shook her hand.

"Hey, I just met my roommate," Amu said with a grin. Yaya grinned back when she noticed.

"Awesome, so you're the last one?" When Amu nodded, Yaya began to explain about their other roommates. "Rima and Utau are music students, but Rima plays an instrument and Utau sings. I'm the dancing student so I wouldn't see them often… but since you're also one, I'll get to see you more!"

"Oh, right, since Music students go to a different building, right?" Amu asked, making sure.

"Yep, but you can see them during lunch, since we all share the same lunch because we're in the same dorm, you know, Dormitory B." Amu nodded, making sense of the situation.

"Let's go and see your moves, Amu-chi!" she exclaimed as she began to drag Amu along. Mildly, she wondered if that was suddenly a new nickname.

When they entered a studio, Amu fell into awe, again, at the awesomeness of the studio. Along one side of the wall were mirrors that could be shown for the dancers to make sure that they were dancing right. In one corner of the room was another LED TV that hung from the ceiling with a DVD player, VCR player, and anything else needed underneath. It was probably for viewing new moves and such. Along the wall of the mirrors were some railings of different elevations. Amu guessed it helped in stretching and balance the first time. The other side of the wall that was opposite of where Amu faced was also a mirrored wall.

Before she could really look at the room further, Yaya popped in a song and Amu immediately found the beat. It was Gee by Girl's Generation. And since there weren't enough people with them, it was hard to perform all of the moves without looking incomplete. Immediately, Amu felt extremely… girly then. Maybe it was the dance, but by the time she finished, Yaya applauded.

"I hadn't been expecting you to know how to dance to that song!" Yaya complimented. "I just put that on shuffle…"

Amu shrugged. "I just know the song is all and knew how to dance to it is all." Amu grinned but she was beginning to feel the lag from traveling. "Really, now I would rather just go around and explore, if you don't mind."

"Sure, I could show you some places you would like to see," Yaya sang, as she began to walk out the door. Amu turned to follow her after picking up her water bottle.

When she walked outside, she heard music being played from somewhere. She paused to listen and to try and make out the sound of the music. But to no avail. When she looked to find where Yaya went, Amu sighed when she realized she lost her when she had paused to listen to the music. Deciding that it was better than nothing, she began to venture toward the source of the music and found that it came from a dance studio. She peeked in and found that there was a male inside… a very TALL male inside. He had midnight blue hair and a very… as much as she didn't like thinking that way, nice build. She even found herself blushing when she looked him up. And it didn't help matters when she noticed that he was also very handsome.

Great.

He's great looking and…

She jumped when his sapphire eyes looked her way. She muffled a squeak that came from her. However, he already heard her in spite of the music and walked over, opening the door. When he did, Amu could see that he wore a black tank top with loose pants that seemed appropriate to dance in. He wore dancing shoes, making him seem taller than what he would probably be normally.

And dear god, he was hotter up close than she expected. But… something about his face seemed familiar…

"You know, spying isn't a very nice thing to do," he said with a deep, rich voice that Amu found herself thinking of strange thoughts. He smirked and immediately, she felt that she was going to hate that smirk. "Or were you just merely trying to catch a peek at how hot I am?"

"D-Don't flatter yourself!" Amu stuttered, blushing vividly.

"Who said I was?" he merely replied. "Come, if you were curious about the music, than surely, you must be curious about how I dance, right?"

"S-Sure… whatever," she grumbled.

He turned on the stereo and instantly, Amu recognized the song. It was Rainism by Bi Rain. She found it to be one of the greatest dances… not to mention, one of the sexiest songs she's heard.

He smirked, "You're getting a free show, so be happy."

"L-Like I would!" she flushed.

When he began to dance, her mouth dropped. He danced so… so… well that she couldn't even put words to his dance. He danced so perfectly… so wonderfully that she found herself squirming in her seat when she found how seductive his dancing was. It was different from Bi Rain's dancing in the music video, but it was much better… as if he improved it. Even if Amu found that to beat Bi Rain to be almost impossible, this guy proved that you could beat impossible; that it was to be better than impossible.

When he finished, he was breathing evenly, albeit slightly ragged from the serious dancing he just did. She had to admit it… he looked really sexy right now, what with the way he was breathing, the way he was dressed, and the way he looked at Amu… right before he smirked and ruined it.

"So? What'd you think?"

Stubbornly, she crossed her arms across her chest, "I-It was… a-awesome…" She managed to admit it, but she will not say what had crossed her mind about this guy.

"I'd like to know the name of the girl I performed for… what is your name, my lady?" he asked as he bowed, as if he had heard the invisible applause.

She blinked, but she knew he was teasing her. "I'm Amu Hinamori," she huffed, not going to admit that he was a really, really, really good dancer. Not to mention, also very sexy. At the word, she flushed a bit.

"I'm Ikuto Tsukiyomi, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said as leaned close and kissed her.

Right on the lips.

Please remember to review please so I can know if I should continue or not! I hoped you enjoyed this bit of my experiment!
