Summary: "Ne Ikuto! Do you like Amu nya?" Yoru was pestering me again. How did I get stuck with such an annoying Chara? "Go away Yoru." I flicked him away. "Why did you do that Ikuto nya?! I just wanted to know if you liked Amu nya!" He flew off. Why does he always ask me the same thing? Do I like Amu? She's just a kid. But why can't I stop thinking about her?
Amuto duh with Miru! Everyone starts asking Ikuto who he likes nya!
Yuuki: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nya!
Ikuto: is this amuto?
Yuuki: do you even have to ask?
Amu: apparently he does…
Yuuki: I'm going to try something new nya! if this annoys you I'm sorry but I'm experimenting right now…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Shugo Chara!
CLAIMER: I claim the little poem type thing at the beginning and end nya!
Ikuto: let's see how long it takes her to write this!
Yuuki: oh so now I'm timed nya!?
Ikuto: yep! Today is…

Yoru: on with the story nya!

Chapter 1: Age is only a number
Ikuto's POV
I was walking through town. Doing nothing. Again. Yoru was somewhere. Not that I care.
"Amu-chan I think home's that way." I looked towards where the voice of Amu's blue chara came. Amu… My favorite strawberry to tease. She ran into the alleyway and I decided to follow. It's not like I have anything to do anyways.
There's someone at the end of this alley. I made sure to keep to the shadows, I don't want anyone to know I'm here.
Amu's POV
I was walking home and got lost. Again. Suu and Ran had stayed home with Dia and Ami. Miki had come along with me. I walked into the alley. Then I saw a man lying on the floor and smelled and overpowering smell of alcohol. I tried to walk past without being noticed but I am probably the most clumsy person in the world and tripped over…well pretty much tripped over nothing.
"Well what have we here? Hiccup. A pretty young lady? Hiccup." The man grabbed my ankle and pulled me over to him. I tried to push him off but he held me wrists above my head. I screamed.
"Now, now! Hiccup. The young one has such a lovely voice! Come, come! Don't worry! This will be loads of fun! Hiccup, hiccup." I shut my eyes and tried not to think too much. I'm scared. I heard a grunt as the man was kicked off of me. I opened my eyes and saw Ikuto. his face is so close to mine!
"Are you okay, Amu?" I nodded dumbly.
"Hey, young man! Hiccup. That was my fun! Don't go 'round stealing my fun! Hiccup."
"Stay away from Amu." Ikuto glared at the man and he fled out of the alley. When the man was well away Ikuto let go of me,
"You sure you're okay, Amu?" I nodded again.
"You can talk, cant ya?"
"Y-yes! Thank you for saving me! Arigatou!" He started to walk away.
"Ikuto…can you help me find my way home?"
"Follow me." I ran over to him and walked beside him. Ikuto always saves me…doesn't he have someone else to be with all the time…?
"Ikuto, do you have someone?"
"Huh?"
"Someone you like, Ikuto."
"Oh…not really."
"Oh…"
"You disappointed?"
"N-no!"
"You were hoping I would say yes then you would ask who and then I'd say you and we'd kiss and happily ever after blah blah blah?"
"O-of course not!"
"Yes you were. It's written all over your face with your blush." Darn that blush! It's not fair!
-Later-
Ikuto's POV
I had just dropped off Amu and was lying on my bed. Why can't I stop thinking about her question? Do I like someone? Nah…all the girls I know are like Utau. I shudder at the thought of dating Utau. But…Amu doesn't act like that…and I'm always around her…do I like Amu? I couldn't. She's only turned 13 this year and I'm going to be…what…17? I think it's 17…I haven't kept track. It must be. I have one year left of high school. That reminds me. My birthday is in three days. Not that it really matters. I don't celebrate anything. don't have anybody to celebrate with not that I'd want to. But if I could be with Amu…wait a minute! Again with Amu!? That kid has infected my brain! But 4 whole years apart. Does it really matter?
