Hello peoples! I am Dani and this is my first time writing about Shugo Chara but it is not my first time posting a fanfic. :) Anyway, this is AMUTO ofcourse. In this story I am trying to keep ALL characters in character and yes, there will be a couple of new characters but they will be semi minor. They're there to...um..I guess stir things up a little bit. The ages should be almost accurate. In my story, Amu, Tadase, and Nagihiko are 18. Kairi should be 16 or 17 I think and in a different place. Yaya is 17 most likely. Kukai is 19 and Ikuto is 23. Utau is either 20 or 21. In the manga(spoiler if you haven't read it) when Ikuto left he had graduated high school which leads me to think he was 18 or 19 so i chose 18 and BAM five years later its 23. There's my reasoning for the ages but I'm still a bit confuse on them. OH WELL! *sigh* Anyway! I hope that you guys enjoy and review. Critizing is good but no like extreme hate reviews! I think I'm still having small problems keeping everyone in character. Please tell me!

It's been five years since Ikuto left. Amu, Tadase, Nagihiko, and Rima are in their last year of high school. Yaya still needs a couple years to go. After graduating elementary school, things got worrisome and weird. Yaya ended up being a good leader, though. Even after all the strange events like puberty and finding Amu's charas they still manage to make it through life. They still hunted x-eggs once in a while. The Guardians all had career goals now and were determined to achieve them. They all hoped that their charas will stay with them a bit longer because they were becoming adults. Amu and Tadase's relationship is strong but they're not dating. Why? Amu is still sorting out her feelings about all the guys in her life: Tadase, Nagihiko, Kukai, Kairi, and lastly Ikuto. (These loves will be explained more later in the story.) After finding out that Nagihiko was also Nadeshiko, Amu and his relationship became a bit uncomfortable but Amu got over that quickly. Things were getting kind of boring, though.

------------------------------------------------YAY!XD-----------------------------------------------------

It's a Sunday and Amu laid sprawled on her bed and snored away when her cell phone began to vibrate. She just dismissed it and turned over on her bed. Miki cracked her egg open and yawned. She noticed the phone right away.

"Oi" She said, getting the attention of the other charas. She flew out of her egg toward the phone as the other three charas cracked their eggs open. Ran followed quickly and they helped each other open the phone. A familiar name flashed and Ran quickly flew over to Amu's head.

"Amu…" Ran cautioned as she poked Amu's head. Amu swapped her away causing her to fly backwords.

"Noooooo!" She screamed as she flew past the other charas who were all reading the message.

"This seems important. It's from Utau." Miki said. All of the sudden, out of nowhere….

"Hey! Amu-chan! It's time to wake up! It's already noon! You're becoming old, Amu! Wakey up! YAY, yay, ya-!" Ran cheered but Amu had grabbed her with just her death glare and was slowly pulling her into oblivion.

"Amu!" Su, Miki, and Dia carried the phone and stuck it in her face much to Ran's relief.

"Utau?" Amu murmured to herself and read the message. She raised an eyebrow.

"There's some news that you need to know but I think I'll wait to tell you."

"What kind of message is this?! Why would you tell me that you have news that I apparently I NEED to know and then wait to tell me it?" Amu said aloud. She pouted and put her phone down.

"I'm going back to sleep!" She stated and then flopped back onto her soft bed. *She's going back to sleep after all the noise?* Miki, Ran, and Su thought. During this time Dia had made it back to her egg to sleep herself. The three charas sweatdropped.

"But Amu, aren't you curious about the news? It sounds exciting!" Ran asked jumping around.

"Utau said she wasn't going to tell me now so I'll wait." Amu said crossing her arms. But really, she was anxious to know. Ran made an annoyed sound. Then, her mom came in unannounced and angry.

"Amu! You have to wake up or else you're going to be staying up late and have less time for studying. That is very unhealthy for your near to adult body. You also have guests at the door." Her mom said with a smile to finish and left. Amu's eye twitched. *Oh well. Who could be at the door?* She thought. She quickly got dressed in a light blue jean skirt which stopped at her thighs, knee-high white socks, a white tank top and a long sleeve short jean jacket, and the red X clip was put in her hair to keep her hair out of her face. She clipped her charas onto her skinny belt which kept the skirt from falling.

She then ran downstairs to see Nagihiko and Rima in front of the door welcoming her. Nagihiko wore a Blue coat and beige cargo pants with brown shoes. His hair was still long and cascaded down his back. Rima wore a casual red dress that was tight around the bust area and she wore white stockings and black flats. A black head band kept her hair back.

"Hey! What are you guys doing here?" Amu questioned as she put a hand on her hip.

"We wanted to go shopping. Wanna hang out Amu?" Nagahiko asked winking. Amu blushed a little.

"You read my mind. Let's go." Amu said. "Oh! And Rima, I think your boobs are getting bigger." Amu felt Rima's glare on her back as Nagihiko smiled nervously.

*~At the shopping center~*

"Hmmm…." Rima mumbled as she was deciding what headband she wanted to buy. Amu giggled at this and looked around the accessory store. *I feel like a key chain* She thought. She watched as Nagihiko came up behind Rima and put a hand on her shoulder. *What is this? A subtle hint of flirting?* Amu thought watching intensely.

"What's wrong, Rima?" He asked. She stared blankly at him.

"I have no money." Rima said bluntly putting down the head bands. Nagihiko picked up a head band.

"I'll get one for you, ok?" He said giving her a stunning smile. Rima's cheeks became a tad tinted with red.

"No. I don't want to owe you anything" Rima stated walking away. Nagihiko chuckled and picked up another head band then headed towards the cashier in secret. Amu smiled and headed outside. *He may be charming but I can only see him as one of my best friends.* Amu told herself. Her charas peeked their heads out and giggled quietly. As she stepped outside she got a strange feeling that she was being watched. She narrowed her eyes and looked around. Dia flew in front of Amu with concern.

"Amu. I sense another guardian character but it seems a little strange." She said as the other charas appeared behind her.

"Well, if it's just a guardian character we don't really have to worry about it, right?" Amu gave a comforting smile and joined her friends when they came out of the store. The charas looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

"Miki, Su, can you two follow the chara? Me and Dia will cover up for you. We're good at that!" Ran said. Miki looked at her disbelievingly.

"So, you're saying that we're not good at covering up?" Miki accused as she rubbed her chin.

"Um…no, Miki. I-I wasn't-" Ran stuttered. She stopped when Su and Miki started whispering loudly.

"I think she's saying she's better than us, Miki." Su said and stared at Ran making her feel uncomfortable.

"No! Guys!" Ran whined but Miki and Su were already floating away while laughing. Ran's arms fell to her sides as she felt defeated. Dia giggled and went to follow Amu.

*~A couple hours later~*

"Ah! It's been so long and yet we can't find the chara! It feels so close." Miki said lounging on Su's back. Su glared ahead.

"Yeah…And why are you laying on me while I do all the work?!" She screeched and flailed which caused Miki to be thrown off. She caught herself and flew on her back.

"Su, you are so not nice!" Miki said and opened up her eyes to look at the sky. Something caught her eye, though. A black dot was flying in the same direction as them and seemed suspicious.

"Hey Su, look." Miki pointed up and started to fly towards the black dot.

"Oh, it's a black dot!" Su giggled and followed Miki. "Why are we chasing a black dot?" Miki sweat dropped.

"Um…to capture it." Miki teased. Su's eyes grew wide.

"WHAT?! We can't trap a helpless black dot!" She protested chasing after Miki. They got closer and the black dot became a little figure. Then Miki knew that this was a chara.

"HEY!" Miki yelled to get the chara's attention. The chara turned around to reveal something so surprising which made Miki's jaw drop. It was Yoru!!

"Oh. The black dot was Yoru!" Su giggled.

"Uh-oh! I've been caught!" Yoru cried.

"Does this mean Ikuto is here?!" Miki asked with anticipation. Yoru flew right up to her and grabbed her arms to pull her closer. This made Miki blush and start to stutter.

"W-What are y-you doing?" Miki said quietly thinking something that she wanted to happen was going to.

"Listen. Do not tell anybody that you saw me. If Ikuto found out that I was found then he'll kill me!" Yoru said with panic. Miki nodded as Yoru sighed.

"Our little secret?" Yoru said with a wink. Miki blushed hard and she went into her own little world.

"Our lips are sealed!" Su said holding up a fainted Miki. Yoru left quickly to get back to his owner.

"Our…secret…" Miki mumbled in her trance. Su sighed as she carried Miki back home. She giggled as she replayed the scene.

"This is going to be fun!" She rejoiced and flew faster toward home.

Okay! So, with this chapter I wrote it like over night pretty much. I had a problem coming up with what Rima was wearing!! I don't know her style. I'm suppose to know this! I read the manga and watched the anime! What's wrong with me? Anyway, please help me remember what Rima's style is....and maybe Tadase's? I hope you guys liked this chapter. What else is bothering me?...OH! Give me some ideas of pairings that aren't the main one which is AMUTO. I can't guarantee that I'll be coming out with chapters often because of mostly writer's block....and videogames.....and maybe TV. ..Yeah.. Thanks so much! Remember, review! I'll try to make my story more funny because it seems a little boring. Just let me know what you think! I talk to much.:P
