A/N: Hello to you all! I have recently become addicted with Shugo Chara, and am disappointed by the lack of fanfics with the pairing Nagihiko/Amu. (my #1 pairing) So I made it my goal to write one!

This will be a collection of one-shorts, feel free to suggest something. And in the mean time, I'm writing a long story, using Nagi/Amu and Kukai/Utau as the main pairing.

So please enjoy and review!

Love, Amethyst

Chapter 1: Liar

Amu, Rima, Yaya, and Utau all sat around a table in a small restaurant, chatting about random things as they did every month.

Being a Guardian and a popular singer is a fairly busy job. Leaving little time for the usual hanging out time with girls and such. So when the four girls all get a day off, they like to spend time catching up.

"Ok, who else has an interesting story?" Yaya asked. All the girls looked at each other to see if anyone wanted to speak up, when no one did, Yaya spoke again. "Well, we know Utau will just go Kukai this and Kukai that," Utau rolled her eyes and took a bite of her salad, "And Rima will just be 'this is a pointless meeting'," Rima ignored her, "So that just leaves you, Amu-chi." Yaya said, giving Amu a sly look.

Amu raised an eyebrow at Yaya. "What?" she asked.

"How are you and Nagi doing?" Yaya asked that sly look still on her face.

Amu rolled her eyes sarcastically. She stuck her fork into a piece of her chicken and quickly replied. "It's not like that Yaya." She stuffed the chicken into her mouth. Chewing somewhat violently.

"Lier!" Yaya said dramatically. "You two have been hanging around each other even more lately. And you guys go out to eat at least four times a week."

"You guys have been on a flirty level lately." Utau piped in.

"I would rather she spend her time with Hotori." Rima murmured.

Amu shot a death glare to everyone around the table. "I'm telling you guys," she said a bit steamed, "we're just friends."

"Me and Kukai were just friends," Utau said.

Amu ignored her since Rima started to talk. "Ok, so who's your best friend? Me or Nagihiko?" Rima asked.

Amu didn't hesitate. "Nagihiko."

Rima shot her a disbelieve look, mouth hanging open. "WHAT?"

Amu huffed and grabbed out her wallet. She started to pull out some cash, thinking of how much her chicken had cost.

"Oh come on Amu-chi," Yaya laughed at Amu's stubbornness. "We're only kidding," she giggled again.

Amu shook her head, a smile playing at her lips. "I'm not leaving because of you," she shot everyone a small glare, "I promised to help my mom," she told. She laid the money down next to her plate and stood up. "See you guys later." She turned around; ready to walk off, when Yaya spoke up.

"Have fun with Nagi!" Amu could just hear the smile in her voice. And the bitterness in Rima's voice when she yelled something like 'I won't lose to him!'

She said nothing, and just left.

Amu sighed. So what if she and Nagihiko hung out a lot? So what if she considered Nagi her best friend? So what if they knew each other better than anyone else? It didn't mean anything. It didn't... Did it?

She didn't like Nagi more than a friend, right? The pounding she felt in her chest every time she saw him, just meant she was happy to see him, right? It didn't matter that every time he complimented her, she blushed, right? And when she was at home alone, just thinking to herself, it didn't matter that he consumed all of her big brained capacity... right?

Or...

'Why am I thinking like this now?' she thought, 'Stupid, stupid Yaya for making me question things that are better left alone!' she cursed.

She didn't like like Nagi. She didn't. No matter what anyone else thought or said, she didn't.

At least, that's what she kept saying to herself.

"I don't..." she whispered as she headed towards the academy without even noticing it. Tears came into her eyes. She jumped and started to wipe them away. Why was she crying? What was there to cry about? Everything was fine. It was. It really...

More tears gathered in her eyes, and before she could try to wipe them away, they escaped down her face; falling to the ground. She grew frustrated with herself. She stomped her feet on her tears and more hot angry liquid ran down her face. She violently wiped them away. Her throat was swelling up and started to sting. She felt her eyes go red and puffy. Her breath came in short gasp and she started to sound like an asterisk person. She pulled at her hair and stomped her feet: more angry tears spilled over.

Why was she acting like this? She didn't know why she was so sad, yet so mad, yet so clustered at the same time. What was wrong with her?

She squatted down, her hair still clutched in her fist. She started to sob. She felt so weak, so stupid. She bit her bottom lip, trying to make herself stop. Everything became a blur around her. All that she noticed was the tears falling to the ground.

"Amu-chan?" she heard a comforting voice say. The voice's owner placed his hand on her shoulder. She turned to see his handsome face staring at her with deep worry. "What is it Amu-chan?" He crouched down to be level with her. She didn't even notice that she reached the school ground where he usually played basketball.

Amu didn't know what she was doing, but she quickly wrapped her arms around Nagihiko's neck and hugged him tightly. She was such a liar.

"Shh..." he tried to soothe her. "It's okay... Calm down..." he said.

She clung to him tighter. She was a stupid, terrible, idiotic liar. And yet, she knew she would just keep lying.
