"W-what?!" yelled Amu. "You heard me." said Ikuto. "You'll never, and I mean ever, get my eggs!" yelled Amu. "I don' want your eggs." He said. "Then what do want, and what are you doing here?" she said. "I just wanted to talk. Since the only one I really talk to is Yoru most of the time." "I'm sorry, but I'm kind of busy right now. I have to run some errands. "Then why don't I tag along? Kiddy King isn't with you, right?" "He is, but he's just getting something." "Then let's go and ditch him." "I-I can't just lea- '' then Ikuto silenced her with a kiss. Amu started to turn crimson. Ikuto carried Amu bridal style and character changed and grew cat ears and a tail then started to jump roof to roof. "Hinamori-san?" said Tadase. "I sense that the thieving feline was here, Tadase." said Kiseki. "Character Transformation!" Tadase then began flying to find Amu. "PUT ME DOWN!" yelled Amu. "But you might fall." Said Ikuto "RAN!" she yelled.
Meanwhile…
"GAH!!!" said the three charas in unison. "DOLLIES!" yelled Ami. The three, Ran, Mikki, and Su were flying away from Ami like she was godzilla. "Save your selves!!!" yelled Ran. She was caught by Ami, apparently.
Back at Seiyo Market Square…
"Were are we?" asked Amu. "We're going to go shopping in this department store." said Ikuto. "I barely have any money left…" sighed Amu. "Well, you know if you're an employee of Easter, then you get a credit card to pay for your living space, right?" Ikuto grinned. "You said that you were tagging along in my shopping, didn't you???" said Amu playfully. "Besides, I'm just teasing you. I think instead I'll go window shopping." said Amu. "Then let's go shopping together." said Ikuto. He grabbed her hand and they walked into the store together. "What are you doing?" "Holding your hand." They started at the clothes department. "It's almost Christmas, right?" "Yes." "Well, why don't I buy you something? It's the least I can do since your always willing to hangout with me." he said. "Are you sure? I don't have any money to get you anything… hey what's that?" asked Amu. Luckily, she found a 5000 yen bill. "You were saying?" chuckled Ikuto.
"Well, I'll go look for your present. Call me if you need me. You have my number, right?" "Yep. See you later, then." Then Amu started to walk off. She came across a violin that came with a bow and a case. "I'll take this one, please." Is what she told the cashier. It came out to be 3800 yen, so she had 1200 yen left to spend. "Please come again." said the clerk.
Back with Ikuto…
"I'll get these, please." Said Ikuto. He had gotten Amu a short ruffled black skirt, a half black jacket, and a yellow tube top that shows her belly a little. "Thank You for shopping here. Please come again." Then Ikuto called up Amu. "Were do you want to meet?" "At the food court for early Christmas Presents!" "Okay, see you there, then. Bye." "Bye!" then Amu hang up. As she was walking to the food court, she bumped someone. "Hinamori-san?" asked Tadase. "Tadase-kun?!" exclaimed Amu. "Kiseki said that he had sensed the feline's presence here." said Tadase. "What's this?" said Tadase while picking up her bag. He peered inside it and saw a violin case. He was shocked. He thought that she had liked him, but had went and got his worst enemy a gift. And first of all, he was with her and then that thieving feline had taken her away from him. Tadase was growing angrier by the second just looking at it. He then character changed and then smashed the violin into the ground, as he realized at what he had done. It had all the stroking chords misplaced. The case was all squeaky trying to open it. The bow was all cracked, and the last part was that the violin was in-half. "Why…" whispered Amu. "What have I done wrong!?" she yelled. She broke into tears and dashed away to the food court. "What have I done?" he asked himself. As Amu was running, she ran into Ikuto's arms as he was also heading towards the food court. "What's wrong?" he asked in an almost concerned tone. "I ran into Tadase because he said that Kiseki had sensed that Yoru was here. But when he had found the gift I bought you, he smashed for some reason." she said while sniffling. "Kiddy King was here?" asked Ikuto. "Yes." "How 'bout I buy you some chocolate. I heard it's the best food to cure a women's heart." said Ikuto. "Thank you, Ikuto. I'm glad that we're such good friends." Happily said Amu. Ikuto smiled happily back. "Oh yeah, here's your present." "I'll wear it on our next little date." she said playfully Then they started heading to the candy shop. "What find of chocolate do you want?" asked Ikuto. "Can I get the chocolate covered strawberries? Please?" she asked. "Fine. But you and I have to share." Ikuto said playfully. He had purchased them and went they went to the nearest bench nearby. They sat down and as they were he started to unwrap the chocolate. "Say ah." He said. "Ah!" she said. He put the strawberry in her mouth. He smiled and chuckled. "What's so funny?" she asked. "Well your just acting like a child the way your eating it. Oh wait, you have some chocolate on your face." He said. He licked off her face and finished it off with a kiss. She kissed back. That was the moment that they both knew that they liked each other, but the other refused to admit it until the time was ready. Anger right now was all Tadase knew. He was walking by until he saw Amu, but Ikuto was blocked by a stranger. "Hinamori-sa-'' said Tadase, but then he paused. He saw Ikuto then kissing Amu. He then walked off with a smirk on his face, because he knew what to do. 'I willmake you mine, Amu Hinamori.' thought Tadase walking away.
" Please. We should stop, Ikuto-kun." said Amu. "Since when have you started to call me Ikuto-kun?" said Ikuto in a playful tone. "Since we're good friends. But I don't want to rush our friendship." said Amu. "I'll wait until your ready." said Ikuto. Amu sent him the warmest smile he had ever felt. It was the first time that Ikuto had blushed. It was a fairly light shade of pink. 'I think this is the first time I've ever seen him blush.' thought Amu. "Let's go home." said Ikuto. "Ok." Said Amu in agreement. As they walked home, Ikuto went and dropped off Amu at her house. "Good night, Amu." said Ikuto. She gave him a peck on the cheek. Ikuto then began to walk off. "Where were you, Amu-chan?" asked Papa. "Nowhere, really." she said. "Cool!" said Momma and Papa. "Goodnight." She said as she went upstairs. She changed into her pajama's and went to bed… "AMU-CHAN!" yelled Ran, Mikki, Su while flying into the room. ".Bed." said Amu in a cold but calm tone. "O-O-Okay." They said. Amu fell into a deep sleep…
