Okay this is my first story!! it's a two-shot. Part two will come soon, so be patient.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara!

BEGINNING:

Amu sighed, being sick really sucked. She had missed one day school already and she was sure she was going to miss at least one more (not counting today). Of course there was a bright side, she didn't have to act 'Cool and Spicy' and all her friends had decided to come over and do an after school sick visit. In the meantime, Suu was making her some chicken soup, and Ran and Miki were keeping her company. Mostly they just worried about her, and asked her if she was okay though, so it was annoying. She was confined (quarantined) to her room, so she was especially bored. Her parents were going to be out today and they were taking Ami with them, her friends would arrive shortly after they left. Perfect, I can get away with walking as soon as they leave. Amu thought.

Ikuto had skipped school again, and was really bored. He wandered aimlessly until he thought, I could go spend time wi. . . . . . I mean bother Amu, man where did that come from? He began walking in the direction of her house. Soon he came into view of her house, she had left her balcony door open. Bad idea Amu.

Nadeshiko, Yaya, and Kukai were all there. Tadase, however was missing. Amu hid her disappointment well, however her blush she couldn't. Nadeshiko told her Tadase was coming later, probably after everyone else left. All three of them began asking Amu about her condition, did she need anything, all that stuff.

"So what kind of bug is it?" Nadeshiko asked.

"Nothing special, it just makes you really weak and you feel sick in your stomach.

There's also a headache that comes and goes. The only thing keeping me from going to school is the weakness……. Why are you guys staring behind me?"

Behind Amu, just as she had started talking Ikuto appeared. He figured he'd let the three stare and let Amu realize what was making them before saying anything. It was just then that Amu remembered she left her door open to get some air circulating in her room. I swear if Ikuto's behind me, I will KILL him! She thought as she slowly turned her head. He was there. Her friends must be thinking…odd things. He was dead. He. Was. Dead.

"Hey, Amu. Did you skip school? Fake being sick?" Ikuto said teasingly, completely ignoring the others all together. Nadeshiko, kukai, and Yaya were all waiting for Amu to freak out, scream or do something. What she said wasn't what they were expecting.

"Ikuto, I'll have you know I'm actually sick!! What are you doing here anyway?" she demanded, eyes full of anger. The three onlookers were surprised that Amu didn't seem too surprised, or really surprised at all.

Ikuto walked over to Amu, sat on the bed next to her, cupped her face in his hands and said " Isn't it obvious Amu? I'm here to visit you." He said. Amu blushed a deep red. She was about to ask if he was being serious, when she snapped back into reality.

"Wait, a moment ago you didn't even believe I was sick!" Amu yelled angrily at the perverted cat.

"shhh," he said pressing a finger to his lips, "yelling like that will catch the attention of your parents, and they'll come running up here and stat asking questions." He warned.

"I can yell as much as I want, my parents aren't even home!" Amu screamed at him. Just then Ran and Miki came floating in. Ran was first, as she was the fastest.

"Amu-chan! Is everything okay? We heard yelling and…" she stopped in mid-sentence when she saw Ikuto.

"Oh, was that it then? So it was just Ikuto, I told you that you should have closed the door." Miki said plainly as if everything was normal. Just then Nadeshiko spoke up,

"Amu what is going on here exactly? Does that thieving cat come here often? It, just seems like…" then she trailed off waiting for an answer.

Amu had totally forgotten that Nadeshiko, Yaya, and Kukai were there. Now she realized what they must think. "ummm, no you see, he's only been here a few times…and he ummm, well he just. This is the first time I've let him in my room, although he kinda just came in. You see well, it's not what you're thinking, so yeah." Amu's blush got redder and redder the more she talked.

"Blushing like that isn't gonna make them believe you, nyaaa" a voice said from behind Ikuto. Yoru popped out from behind his head smiling.

"Yoru is right, Amu. So they still don't know about us?" Ikuto said suggestively, with a smirk on his face, just waiting for the blush to darken.

"What do you mean us?" Amu questioned angrily. The argument so far had caused Amu to lose a lot of energy and she was already breathing heavily. Ikuto just smirked, though somewhere in the back of his mind he thought, out of breath already, I would think it would take a lot more for that to happen. "You stupid cat," She continued, "Always teasing me, why can't you just leave!?" she yelled almost as loud as she could.

Ikuto stuck his tongue out and said "Make me." in a childish way. Amu had enough, despite her failing strength she jumped out of bed, ran, and pushed Ikuto as hard as she could. She got him out on the balcony (he wasn't that far away from it to begin with) then she grabbed the handle of the glass door, ready to close and lock it, when her strength failed. Her legs buckled and she began to fall, she tried to hold on to the handle and it did keep her up for a few seconds, but her arms lost their strength as well and she fell to the ground. With all her strength gone, she fell unconscious and lay there.

This is my fault, I should have realized, she's sick, but that sick? I'm the one who got her angry. These were Ikuto's thoughts as Amu collapsed. Nadeshiko, was the first one to her, she was shaking her shoulder, trying to wake her up, "Amu-chan, Amu-chan, You have to get up, wake up! Amu!" she said loudly.

"Is she breathing, is she okay?" Kukai kept asking over, and over.

Yaya just cried and said "Amu-Chan is dead!! Amu-chan is dead!!" Miki and Ran had gone to get Suu, who was down in the kitchen, cooking something to help Amu get better. Ikuto, on the inside was panicking as much as the others, mostly because it was his fault Amu had collapsed, on the outside he remained cool. He bent over and picked her up, bridal-style (If you say that out loud like I just did, it kinda rhymes, oops I just ruined the mood huh? Sorry.) walked over to her bed and laid her down. The three hysterical people stopped talking at once and watched.

Just then, Suu burst in, angry and looking as if she might kill someone. " Who. Hurt. Amu.?" she questioned. Temari (everyone has their Shugo chara's sorry for not mentioning) eyes black, said nothing and just pointed at Ikuto. Suu gave him a death glare then walked over to Amu, showing an amazing amount of knowledge in healing. She checked her pulse, listened to her breathing, and did many other "tests" like that before she said, "Amu-chan will be alright, but we need to wake her up to make sure she isn't hurt anywhere from the fall desu"

They tried all kinds of things, they shook her, yelled, plugged her nose, covered her mouth, and a million other things but she just wouldn't wake up. Finally Suu said "Ikuto, get her out of bed, we'll have to pour water on her desu"

"I think I know a better solution Suu" he said smiling. He would enjoy this. . . . .(I know what you perverts are thinking!! And that is just wrong!!, oh you weren't thinking?……Well, you are now!!…… oh so I'M the pervert now?)

Amu knew they were trying to wake her up, but she didn't want to wake up, she couldn't wake up. She heard their voices a little but it was muffled. Just then she felt her head tilted to the side, she wondered what they would try. Nothing could wake her up. Then she felt a little pain and…..

"Kyaaaaaaa!!" she screamed, her hand reached up to her ear, holding the offended appendage.

"That was an…" Yaya said in amazement.

Kukai finished the statement for her "…ear bite."

"That one was harder than last time!" Amu yelled at Ikuto without thinking. He just smiled and waited for the reaction. A moment of silence and then the three guardians said

"LAST TIME!?" in unison. Amu blushed and was about to explain but Suu began to speak.

"Miki, explain about last time to those three. Amu-chan are you alright did you hurt yourself when you fell?" Suu questioned

"I…..Fell?" Amu questioned back? Suu explained what happened to Amu in her ear quietly. Amu blushed when she got to a certain part (cough bridal-style cough)

"Amu-chan are you hurt desu?" Suu asked, concern evident in her voice.

"I'm fine Suu, I'm a bit hungry though, weren't you making me something?" Amu said as her stomach gave a loud growl.

"Ah! The stew, it should be done now desu" she said then her head snapped over in the direction of Ikuto, and she said "Ikuto go downstairs, and get the stew pot and bring it up here, take Ran with you to show you to the kitchen, and take Yoru with you too." Amu noticed Suu didn't sound so cute when talking to Ikuto, and didn't add desu.

"But..I…" Ikuto tried to protest.

"Now." she said in a scary voice.

"I thought she was supposed to be cute, not scary nyaaa." Yoru whispered in Ikuto's ear.

"That's because she's in mother mode, she's actually very protective of Amu." Ran said quietly from behind the two, making them jump. Then Ran led them downstairs.

"Amu-chan, we all told you not to leave the glass door open too long. This was bound to happen desu." Amu looked down like a scolded child. The three present guardians looked on in amazement as Amu was reprimanded by her shugo chara. "You don't need to be near Ikuto right now, you're very weak."

"I know Suu, it was just so hot and stuffy in here, I couldn't help it." Amu answered knowing her shugo chara was right.

"I..I've never seen Suu act like that before, she was so angry and serious." Kukai whispered under his breath to the two others.

"s..sc…scary" Yaya said.

"Suu gets like that when she's worried about Amu. She's very motherly. I think it stems from Amu's desire to be a good mom some day." Miki said to the shocked trio. Then Kukai gave her an odd look. "All girls have an inner desire to be a mother, for some reason Amu's is a little stronger than other girls." Kukai accepted that explanation, while Yaya and Nadeshiko nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps it comes from having to look after her little sister?" Nadeshiko asked. Miki nodded, they're probably right, She thought.

Meanwhile with Yoru, Ran, and Ikuto…..

"Why do I have to get the soup?" Ikuto wondered aloud.

"Stop whining, you're the one who caused her to faint." Ran said, a hint of anger in her voice.

"Okay, yeah it was mostly my fault…." Ikuto said quietly, then added "But why did Yoru have to come too?"

"Yeah, why couldn't I stay upstairs, I can't help lift a heavy soup pot nyaaa" Yoru whined.

"I thought whining was for dogs…" Ran whispered under her breath.

"What was that? nyaa" Yoru questioned.

"Nothing, nothing." Ran answered a little too quickly. "Anyways, I think it's because they're all talking about you, so Yoru couldn't be left to hear." She said, trying to draw the attention away from what she had said earlier.

"Talking…about me?" Ikuto wondered aloud. Why would they talk about me?

"So why does Suu act all motherly? nyaa" Yoru asked trying to start a conversation, as he was bored and the current one was failing.

"Well, Suu was just born that way. I think it's because her specialty is cooking and that somehow connects, but Miki says it's because of Amu's inner desire to be a mom." Ran answered automatically.

"Amu wants to be a mother?" Ikuto said incredulously.

"Ah, no, you see all, well most, girls have an inner desire to be a good mother. Amu-chan's is just a little stronger." Ran explained quickly before the perverted cat had any ideas. wait why am i talking to them at all? They are our enemies!

BACK IN AMU'S ROOM!! (yay)

"Tadase is going to freak out when I tell him about this!" Kukai said to amu, who immediately froze and looked at him.

"You can't tell Tadase about this!" Amu yelled, "Who knows what he'll think?" she added.

"But Amu-chan, Tadase-kun should know he has a love rival." Nadeshiko said quietly and sincerely. Amu blushed and stammered.

"I..I.. Don't, He doesn't, We're not, I…I…I don't like Ikuto!" She said angrily blushing, sure that they didn't believe her. "Besides even if I did like that perverted cat, he just teases me. He would never like me. That jerk just plays with my emotions and it just isn't fair. It's probably some mind game so that he can capture me for Easter or something." Even as she said it, Amu knew she didn't really believe that. He didn't always tease her sometimes he was genuinely nice. Amu didn't know what would have happened if he had heard that.

"Amu-chan that wasn't very nice desu" Suu said, also knowing that she didn't really think he would capture her for Easter. She was confused because of all the teasing though. My poor Amu-chan, she thought.

Ikuto had been eavesdropping, with the stew in his hands he had stood outside the door. Yoru had run off down a hallway and Ran had gone chasing after him, allowing Ikuto to listen in. He heard everything from the point of "I…I…I don't like Ikuto!" he didn't understand why he felt so sad. She thinks I'm just a perverted teasing cat……wait, I am, right? I'm just teasing her for the sake of teasing her, not for Easter. I don't just tease her though. Wait, what am I thinking? Of course I just tease her. That's what I do, it's just a game.

The room was quiet after Amu's outburst. The air was thick with tension, the three guardians weren't sure what to think. Then the door opened and Ikuto walked in and everything got more tense. He gave the bowl of soup to Amu and said "Here take this, I have to go now." Then he walked out to the balcony and called out "Yoru!" then he looked back at Amu and said "I'll come back later, Amu." Then his ears and tail appeared and he jumped off the balcony.

"Well, Amu-chan we better go too, If we don't go we might get in trouble." Nadeshiko said, knowing Amu needed to be alone.

"Okay guys see you at school soon. Oh, and Nadeshiko, could you close and lock the glass door? That pervert is most likely going to try and come back later." Amu asked, sure that she could trust her friend.

But she couldn't. "Sure." Was all she said. Nadeshiko walked over to the door and closed it. She looked at the lock a moment and pretended to lock it. Tadase deserves to know about his love rival, plus it will be funny to see his face when someone asks him about being at Amu's.

As soon as the three guardians were outside, Kukai asked "Did you lock it?" Nadeshiko shook her head and Yaya laughed. "Okay then I want to be the one to ask him about it." He added.

"Yaya wants to ask Amu-chan!" Yaya exclaimed. Then the trio smiled, tomorrow was going to be a fun day.

Upstairs, Amu was drinking her stew, and it was amazing. "This tastes great, it really is hard to believe it's good for me!What's in it?" Amu questioned

"well," Suu began before she was cut off by Ran and Miki placing their hands over her mouth.

"Trust me Amu-chan, you don't mant to know." Miki said.

"You just need to know that it's good for you." Ran added

Amu was dying to know now. It was worse imagining what had gone in. Then Suu told her, Amu wished she could have settled for imagining.

ENDING(of the first part)
