I do not own the charaters of Shugo Chara!

Summary:

Amu is a fifteen year old girl who is just like any other teen, but with a few twists. She has guardians that hatched from an egg, and the same powers she possess in the anime. Ikuto is your average seven teen year old, attractive boy, who also has the same powers as he does in the anime.

Recently, Tadase just broke up with Amu, and while she is devastated, she has to admit that her heart wasn't too badly broken, being as it belongs to one man, Ikuto. While he only sees her as a young girl, whom has much to learn, her feelings for him are completely different. Every night, she has the same dream, over and over again. The one where she actually has the courage to tell Ikuto how she actually feels, and he ends up falling in love with her, for a happily ever after.

But, it isn't real, so when she comes across an elder, possibly evil, woman at the fall festival that claims she can grant you any wish you choose, could everything change, for the worse when Amu's dreams come true? Maybe Ikuto isn't husband material, and maybe Amu isn't fit for the most important job in the world, motherhood…

Romance, drama, and some occasional humor :)

Chapter one:

Losing to Win

Amu' POV

The days are long here…endless it seems. Daylight lasts for an eternity, and there is no darkness. There was no darkness to come, and there was no evil. Everyone loved, and you loved everyone in return, but I did not. I could not open my heart to another person, like they could. Why should I?

What has the world ever done for me, besides lived just the same? We live, we breathe, and we repeat this as long as the sun comes up. I wanted something more, something that no one else has ever wanted, and that was to hate. To balance out the world.

There needed to be evil, for love to actually matter, but there was no one too hate. Everyone was perfect. Nice. Caring. Everyone was gentle, or so I thought.

Two months before:

My POV

"Ikuto? What are you doing here, how did you find me?"

Aroused by the elegant dress she wore, that came just below her thighs, he was captivated, as he rushed up the hill, and smirked, "What do you mean? You're always up here," he reminded, causing her to sigh from embarrassment. She was very conscious that he knew this.

Spotting a growing daisy, he tore it from its steam, and gave it to Amu, as a kind gesture. "Here."

Her hazel eyes lit up, like the stars, as she took the flower. Blushing, she tucked her chin under the scarf she wore. The cool autumn breeze flew by, shaking the golden and red leaves off the trees. They fluttered in the wind, and landed softly in the grass. Choked on words, she stuttered, "Th-thank you…"

Moving in closer to her, she could feel his breath on her neck. The distance was unbearable, and she wished to take a step in towards his body, but was too timid to do so. Sweeping her cotton candy pink, hair to the side, chills ran up her back.

Brushing his hand over hers, he softly took the daisy from her grasp, and situated it behind her ear. Flinching, while she was unaware of what he was going to do, prior to this, she became relaxed. Gentling tracing along her jaw line, as he back away, she pinched the velvet like pedals, and grinned. Gazing at her, Ikuto purred, "Just when I thought that you could be any more beautiful, you go and make my heart skip a beat again.

She, too, was mesmerized, but not for the same reasons. He's never been this considerate…or sexual for that matter, towards me before. So why is he now? she asked herself, holding the stare they both shared. Something is defiantly not right here, but I am too scared to find out what it is. When all she simply wanted to do was enjoy the tension they shared, and get caught up in the moment, it was almost impossible.

The agony was biting away the beauty of this picture perfect scene, and slowly tore it into pieces. Turning away, she found that she simply could not contain it, and that she failed to be the person she yearned to be, yet again.

It's not that I want to lack social skills, I just do. I want to talk to him…to love him, hold him…be together…as a real couple, but I'm too afraid. Why? …What if…he breaks my heart? What if he breaks my heart like Tadase did?

"Amu, darling? Is everything alright?" he worried, using a deep tone.

Finally, the chance to prove him wrong, to prove everyone wrong. I can do this, I know I can. Don't worry about anything, but you, and him, because that is all that really matters right?

Biting her lip, she spun around, doing what she had sought to do since the first day she'd meet him. "No! No, I am not okay! I have never been okay, not okay with us just being friends! I wanted something more, and I know that you don't care for me the way I care for you, that isn't the issue! Th-the issue is…that finally, when you actually act like you too may have deeper feeling for me then I thought, I can't believe them, because you might just be tormenting me on purpose!" she cried, as the tears began to roll.

"I-I-I always loved you, and if you don't love me back then…how can I…love? I can't love with all my heart, if you don't feel the same. You're…you're the reason I can't open my heart to anyone.." Covering her face with her hands, she sobbed into the sleeve of her woolen jacket.

Pausing for a moment, he was astonished and gaped at her. Amu had never done anything as amazing as this. Normally, she kept everything inside, and when she finally chose to let it out, it was clear to him. Everything made sense.

Approaching Amu, he tightly grabbed her elbows, and before she could protest, and snatch away, he pulled her to his chest. For a moment, everything paused, and when the play button was hit, it was as if everything was going in slow motion. Cupping her face, he smashed their lips together, and moaned.

Banging her fist at his shoulder in anger, she stopped, and soon realized what he was doing. She breathed out suddenly, into his open mouth. Exhaling as he gave her enough room to do so, before crashing back in for another round, his tongue managed to swirl around hers. Moving his fingers, behind her head, he pressed them together as hard as he could, and finally broke the fervent kiss.

"I'm sorry! I never knew that you felt that way. I always thought that you were this cool heartless girl, that wanted nothing to do with a guy like me, but now that you have vented your feelings, in such a well-mannered, and appropriate way, I can see that you were all I ever wanted! The truth is, I do love you, Amu, and I always ha-" Interrupted by a loud beeping sound, they glanced around. "What was that?" he asked, as it went off again.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep," the alarm clock sounded off.

Whacking it with her fist, it broke into, as Amu turned over in the bed. Stretching her arms out, she yawned, and made an effort to open her eyes. The lights shinned brightly in through the window, ruining her vision. Screaming, she nuzzled her head into the pillow, and huffed.

Taking a minute to cherish the warmth of the covers that fell over her, she had nothing to look forward to besides school, which failed to be tempting.

Why does it seem like I am the victim to every comic book that excites? Either that, or the villain…where's the happy ending that all the girls claim to actually be real? Lying bitches.

Su hovered above Amu, with a disappointed face. "Well, it looks like we need another new alarm clock," she breathed.

"Alright! A new clock! Go, Amu-san! Go, Amu-san, go, go! Today is another beautiful day! One to be thankful for, yaya earth! Go earth, go, go, go earth!" Ran cheered, bumping Su with her bottom, causing her to soar across the room. Covering her mouth, she gasped. "Opps…sorry!"

Leaning up, Amu slowly got out of bed, annoyed at her guardians. "Shh, ugh, it is so hard to fall back to sleep with all that noise!"

"But, Amu-san, it is already seven thirty! If you don't hurry up, then you are going to be late for first period!" Ran explained, holding her pompoms close to her chest.

Slipping on her house shoes, as she messed with her hair, Amu glanced up, "That's the idea." Better yet, not even going to class. Tadase is going to be there, and I don't even want to look at him, much less talk to him…if only there was a way to become invisible. Invisible in his eyes.

Desiring to stay at home all day, and just watch the T.V she knew that she couldn't, and had to face another usual, typical morning. Tadase had broken up with her that prior Friday, and praying that Monday would never come, it did, and she had to go along with it.

Walking into the bathroom, she sat down on her stool, and looked at the reflection that gazed back at her. Opening the draw, she reached in to get the comb, so she could get all of the knots out. Dragging the bristles through her hair, the brush got caught. As she tried to pull on it, it couldn't come out, so she yanked, and tugged.

Finally, it was free, but took an ample amount of strands with it. Biting her tongue to hold in the pain, she yelled inside. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! This wasn't supposed to happen! Look at me! This is the worst, friggin, day ever!" she cried, imagining that the small, almost unable to be seen, gap was much larger than it was.

"This is just awful," she wept.

"Aww, Amu, it isn't that bad, really! I can hardly even notice!" Miki swore.

"Yeah, and the only way you can see it is if someone is all up in your scalp, eww, dandruff…someone needs a new conditioner…yes, let's hope that no dares come that close." Ran covered the sparse area up with a few other locks from the back.

Whipping away a tear, she objected, "No! It isn't just that, it is…it is…it's everything!"

"Oh…I see…" Miki, and Su moaned, both unsure of what to do, or how to cheer her up.

Ran put her hands on her hips, upset of how ridiculous everyone was acting. Getting up in front to them, she raved, "Hey! Yeah, you three! That's right I am talk to you! What is the matter with you guys? You're going to let these few little minor details bring you down? I don't think so! I think that it is about time that we set some positive attitudes in this room-"

"But-" Amu began.

"There are no 'buts' in the game of life! Every fiber of my being, I will not sleep, hence, I will not awake, not until I see some major mood swings! We live, and, we take on task after task, and we fight, oh by golly, we fight, and we will fight until our little innocent body cannot fight anymore! Now, I want you to get out there, and put your heart and soul into it! I want you to get angry! Get angry! Get positive! And go, search, to get me some pride, so our team will succeed! Let's move, move, move!" she coached, but no one responded. Opening an eyelid to see why she didn't hear any movement, Ran sighed.

Cocking a brow at her, Amu admitted, "That makes me no less motivated than I was before you wasted sixty seconds of my life…"

Getting up, she wandered over to her dresser, and picked out a faded blue jean skirt, and got crimson and black stripped socks from the bottom draw. Striding over to the closet, she found the shirt that would match what she had just gotten out. Slipping into a simple black shirt, and a tie that matched her stockings, she grabbed the red coat, and backpack that hung at the end of her bed.

Plopping back down to the mattress, she placed her slippers at the foot of the bed, and put on a polished pair of black ones. Peering over her shoulder, at the picture of Ikuto she kept on her nightstand, she picked it up.

"Maybe someday I will have the guts to actually tell you how I feel…instead of just dreaming about it," she mumbled, kissing the glass, where his cheek supposedly was. "Someday, I'm sure of it…just not today."

Okay, it was short, but the next chapter won't be! I promise! I just thought that was a good way to end it Hope you enjoyed!
