A/N: I own nothing…..This is a story that was just kinda there all of the sudden lol if that makes any sense….Please enjoy and review!!

Chapter 1

Amu stumbled down the street feeling very much depressed. She'd just come from a meeting with the other guardians and they had all voiced their opinions of her seeing Ikuto. Not like that seeing, but being around him. She flinched remember how angry Tadase had looked when she called Ikuto her friend. He's not your friend! His voice still echoed in her thoughts. How much she wanted to lie down and not get up again. She slowly had started to absorb her friends' words and now she painfully acknowledged the truth. Ikuto was only teasing, and had hidden reasons for always following her around.

Amu turned down the street leading to her favorite coffee shop. She feels cold inside maybe some warm coffee would make her feel better. She just couldn't get the voice out of her head and the painful feeling in her chest. She wished it would all just go away.

Upon entering the familiar coffee shop Amu's feelings started to settle as she found comfort in her surroundings. The plump leather chairs that would try to suck you in if you sat down to quickly. The glass tables with magazines spilled across the see-through surface. The soft music playing from the flat screen TV hooked up on the wall. But the most comforting thing of the coffee shop was the smell. Something Amu could never get enough was the sweet strong smell of coffee. She'd loved it ever since she was little.

"What will it be today Amu?" Another familiar thing about the coffee shop everyone here knew her. Though it depressed her to realize she had a coffee shop character just like her 'Cool and Spicy' character. This one was mellow usually quiet and isolated.

"I'd like a…"Amu's voice trailed off and her eyes blurred a little as she looked at all the coffees. Finally she took a deep breath.

"Large Mocha Frappe please." She gave the girl the money telling to keep the change. The girl thanked her and Amu went over to her favorite table in the corner out of sight of anyone that wasn't looking. Slumping into the chair she folded her arms on the table. During her wait for the coffee she had the unwanted time to think about Ikuto. She didn't want to believe the others but she just found it hard to keep her mind set on something when Ikuto was around. Amu heard the door open and a voice that surprised her.

Amu looked up from her seat and saw Ikuto standing by the counter ordering. Her face highlighted slightly as she watched him. He looked so handsome standing there, she shook her head wiping the thoughts from her head. She mustn't think like that. It was wrong, Ikuto had teased her and helped her a few times but Tadase was right, he was her enemy. She mustn't let her young heart get in the way of that. She grimaced at herself, she sounded like an eighty year old woman, young heart? Where'd that come from?

Amu looked up again as Ikuto turned away from the coffee counter and looked around the abandoned shop, she tried to duck out of sight but he saw her. He blinked surprised then smirked as he headed towards her table. She squirmed nervously as he approached and sat down across from her. She kept her golden eyes glued to the table her hands moving in her lap.

"Hello Amu." She didn't look up at him but answered despite her wish to remain cold and quiet.

"Hello." She whispered giving the air around them a sudden empty, cold feeling. Ikuto noticed this and frowned at her. She didn't see this of course.

"Amu, your Mocha Frappe is ready." Amu looked up as the girl put her coffee up on the counter. She got up and grabbed it returning back to her seat to see that Ikuto was still there.

"Is something wrong Amu?" Ikuto asked while Amu sipped at her coffee. Of course she'd gotten a cold coffee instead of a nice warming one like she'd wanted. But the chocolate and whip cream was sweat making her feel a little better.

"Why are you here Ikuto?" Amu asked her eyes trying to hold back the sadness she felt.

"I came for coffee." He grinned thinking that would gage some old reactions from her but she remained stony. He frowned again un-amused by her actions.

"What's wrong?" She ignored his question by sipping her coffee again.

"Why are you sitting here?" She asked more specifically avoiding his eyes now. Ikuto didn't like her mood at all and leaned against the table.

"Amu tell me whats wrong?" He demanded firmly. He saw Amu's eyes water a little but she dried them quickly before turning to him again.

"Ikuto why don't you just go away?" She'd said things like that before but this time it cut right through him.

"Did the kiddy king say something to hurt you? What did he say? Amu tell me." Ikuto's tone was serious and it was confusing Amu.

"Tadase has done nothing but tell me the truth." She snapped feeling her anger rise, but towards who? The one that had opened her eyes to a hurtful truth, or the one that had blinded her?

"What truth?" Ikuto asked narrowing his eyes at her. She bit her lip debating on whither or not to tell him, he would just tease her and make her believe him and not Tadase.

"He said that you were not my friend. You were using me basically." Amu's golden eyes turned to him challenging him to change her mind.

"And you believed him?" Ikuto asked his frown still showing on his face. Amu nodded looking Ikuto straight in the eye. His eyes were closed to her and she was unable to read his thoughts.

"Well I'll have to change your mind." Amu frowned now.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"You don't trust me, I understand that, but the kiddy kings got it all wrong and so do you. I can't just come out and say it cause you wouldn't believe me in this state. So I'll change you mind and prove that I'm not using you." Ikuto said grinning as his coffee was brought to him. He didn't look at the girl he kept his eyes on Amu and they opened just a little. He was telling the truth, he would change her mind. But what she couldn't see if he would change her mind for the benfit of being able to use her again or because he was really telling the whole truth about not using her.

"Ikuto it wont be easy." Amu warned shaking her head as she sipped her coffee.

"Your always teasing me so I never knew when you were serious if at all." Ikuto stood abruptly making Amu squeak as his chair racked back.

"W-what are you doing?" She stuttered as he walked around the table and leaned closer to her.

"You have whip cream on your face." He smiled as she blushed. He reached up with a napkin and wiped it away. She stared surprised at him, usually he would have tried something perverted…like licked it off or something. He put the napkin down and leaned against the table looking down at Amu's blushing face.

"Believe me yet?" He asked with a sideways grin. Amu glared and shook her pink hair.

"Didn't think so." He chuckled and went back to his seat sipping his coffee quietly as he watched Amu. Don't believe him Amu, I care more then you know, Ikuto thought silently watching as Amu drank her coffee, careful of the treacherous whip cream.
