" House upon the hill

Moon is lying still

Shadows of the trees

Witnessing the wild breeze

C'mon baby run with me

Let's run!

Run with me

Run with me

Run with me

Let's run!"

-Not to Touch the Earth, Written By The Doors, and covered by OTEP.

Hi there guys! This is my first Shugo Chara fanfic, so go easy on me, Kay? This fic will be based on the MANGA, not the Anime, so keep that in mind. I guess this will be just a continuation to the story, starting off right where the manga stops. At the beginning of the story, they are still at Nikaidou-Sensei's and Sanjou-San's wedding.

I will change the POV occasionally from first person to third person, and It'll mainly be in Amu's or Ikuto's POV. I will have some Kutau, RimaHiko, and possibly a little bit of Yaya/Kairi in this story, too, but this is mainly Amuto.

~Contest Alert!~

If one of you dear readers figure out what all of my story names have in common, I will write a special chapter dedicated to you! Please do not write your guess in a review, because I want other people to have a chance to figure it out.

I do not own Shugo Chara, or The song Not to Touch the Earth.

Chapter 1:

At The Wedding: Amu's POV.

Himamori Amu had been having a blast at the wedding. She was so glad that Kairi had had Yaya and the others save their relationship. They looked happy together. Amu had the feeling that they would have a good relationship, and Suu looked overjoyed to see Nikaidou-Sensei so happy. I really didn't understand why Suu liked him so much, but she didn't bother trying to figure it out. Ikuto had come behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Amu normally would've let leash her stubborn side and pushed him away, but she was so happy to have her charas back and to have Ikuto back at least for the moment that she didn't care. A smile came across her face as he whispered "I love you" into her ear. Not caring that they were in a public place, Amu turned around and put her arms around his neck. She hugged him close to her for a while, until eventually Ikuto kissed her on the cheek.

Amu decided that that wasn't enough for her. Their lips connected, to form Amu's first kiss (On the lips, that is.). Ikuto was caught by surprise by this sudden event, but he didn't stop her. He made the kiss a little deeper than it needed to be, and Amu got a bit flustered. She pulled away, a slight blush on her face. She turned around to notice that all of her friends and her parents were staring at her. Her father looked like he was about ready to blow a gasket, her mother seemed happy that her daughter had a boyfriend, (and a nice one, at that ;) and all of her friends were looking at her slightly shocked.

Amu's blush deepened as her friends continued to stare at her. She really didn't know what to do, so she buried her face in Ikuto's jacket, trying to get all of the eyes off of her. Ikuto chuckled softly and patted her head.

"You know," he said, "You're gonna have to face them sometime. They were gonna find out eventually, and they're still staring, by the way."

Amu lifted up her head. Her blush hadn't yet disappeared off of her face, and it didn't really help that there were a bunch of people staring at her, but she stayed strong, and her outer walls came up.

"What are you all staring at? Nothing to see here, pervs."

Amu's parents fell head over heels, "So Cool and Spicy!" They screamed out, and Amu just shook her head. Everyone went back to their business, and Amu went back to hers. Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia were all giving her disapproving looks.

"You know, it's not very nice to call your friends pervs, Amu-Chan," Dia scolded. The others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well," Amu said to them, "Sometimes you just gotta do what's necessary."

Amu looked up at Ikuto, "And just because I did that once don't expect me to be all over you all the time," she said.

Ikuto smiled. "Don't worry, my dear," he teased, "I wouldn't expect you to be. You're way too stubborn."

Amu scowled. "And for a good reason. You would be all over me if I wasn't."

Ikuto laughed. "No, I wouldn't like you nearly as much if you weren't this stubborn. That what makes it so fun."

"Ikuto, you're such a tease," Amu responded. "But, I guess that's what makes you so fun."

LATER ON THAT EVENING.

Amu sighed as she lay down on her bed. The wedding had just ended, and she was warn out. She knew that she was gonna have to confront Yaya and Rima tomorrow about what had happened with Ikuto. They would ask a lot of questions, and some of them would be embarrasing. She would have to bear it, though, and answer truthfully. Her charas looked at her with worried expressions. "Is there something wrong, Amu-Chan?" They asked.

"Everything is just fine," I said, which was partially true. She was glad that she had Ikuto to back with her, even if it was just for the moment. She loved her boyfriend, she really did, and she had missed him so much while he was gone. She was just embarrassed that she had kissed him in front of everyone at the wedding. She smiled, thinking of the feel of his lips on his. It made her yearn for more. She hoped that Ikuto would come over and see her soon.

That was when it hit her. I'll just text him!

She took out her cell phone, and scrolled down to Ikuto's name. "R u busy rite now?" She wrote, and sent it to him. He answered back a moment later with "Yeah, a little bit, why?"

This made Amu a little curious. Why was he busy? What was he doing?

She responded with "Will u b able 2 come over l8r? I miss u."

"Sure. It might be a little while, though. I've got a surprise for you."

Now Amu was really curious. She wanted to know what the 'surprise' was so badly. It was going to naw at her until she found out. "OK. Well b quik. " she sent to him, and then went out to the kitchen to get a quick snack. It was about ten o'clock, and everyone else was sleeping. She couldn't imagine what Ikuto would be busy doing at this time of night, besides sleeping, which he obviously wasn't doing. She tried to forget about Ikuto for a while by watching TV. One of her favorite animes was on, luckily, but it didn't help her out much. She hoped that the surprise was something good, but she was be on edge because, well, this was Ikuto we were talking about. You never know what to expect.

A half an hour later, Amu was starting to get antsy. She wanted to text him and ask him if he was coming soon, but she didn't because she didn't want to annoy him. About ten minutes later, though, she got a text from him. "See you in ten. I think you're gonna like my surprise."

So, Amu thought to herself, it is a good surprise? That made Amu happy to know.

Ten minutes later, Amu was sitting on the couch waiting for him, when, unbeknownst, to her, he was climbing up her balcony, into her room, and silently walking down the stairs. He saw Amu sitting on the couch, and she had no clue that he was there. He slowly walked up behind her, and put his arms around her.

Amu went into survival mode. She jumped up and balled her hands into fists. Ikuto laughed and grabbed a hold of her hands, and Amu calmed when she realized who it was.

"Ikuto!" She complained, "You scared me half to death!"

Ikuto laughed and put his arms around her, "Well, you won't be angry with me when I tell you the good news," he said.

Amu looked at him, "What is it?" She asked.

Ikuto grinned. "I'll tell you later."

Amu frowned, growing angry. "What do you mean, later? You're so mean, Ikuto!"

Ikuto pouted, "Shhhh, you don't want your parents to wake up, do you? C'mon, lets go to your room," he said. He picked Amu up and carried her up the stairs.

"You don't have to do that," she complained. "I can walk, you know."

Ikuto grinned that evil grin of his, and before Amu even had the chance to stop him, he let go of her and she dropped on the ground.

Amu got up and gave him a dirty look, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" She asked.

"You said you didn't want me to carry you, and you're heavy, anyway," he said. He put his finger to his lips. "It might not be a good idea to start yelling right now," he reminded her.

Amu sighed, "You know, I don't even understand why I like you."

Ikuto picked her back up and smiled, "But you do," he said, "and that's all that matters, right?"

Amu's heart fluttered, he was so close to her, and his smile was so warm and inviting... She put her arms around his neck and hugged him. Her heart was beating harder than normally. Ikuto opened her bedroom door and walked in, shutting it behind him. He set her on her bed, and leaned over top of her. Amu felt exhilarated. Her breathing became irregular, and she felt so... so HAPPY.

To Amu, it felt so right to be in Ikuto's arms. Like she was meant to be. So, when Ikuto leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips she didn't stop him.

Ikuto smiled. "So, have you finally grown up?" He asked.

Amu frowned. "No, not completely, I guess." She looked over at her charas, sleeping in their eggs.

Ikuto noticed this, and snuggled up to her. "You know, just because you still have your charas, it doesn't mean you're not grown 's not beside me anymore, but I know I definitely haven't grown up," he said, as he nibbled on her ear.

Amu jumped up. "Ikuto!" she screamed, "That was NOT cool!"

He smiled. "I know you like it, don't try to deny your feelings."

Amu smiled. "Well, just don't do it again, okay?"

"Sure, if you don't want me too, I won't." He said, as he pulled her back down.

Amu sighed again, "You know, I really am curious to know what your surprise is. Can you tell me now?"

Ikuto gave her a mischievous look, "Maybe," he said, "If you let me kiss you once more."

Amu blushed. "Well... well, I really want to know..." she said, her face was getting redder and redder by the second.

"Don't be shy, Amu," Ikuto said "You don't have to hide your feelings around me."

Amu went into stubborn mode again.

"W- what are you talking about? I don't have any feelings for you!" She said.

Ikuto grinned, moving himself even closer to her. "Amu, I know you feel for me. The same way I feel for you." Amu's face reddened, and she was feeling a little nervous, but she continued to play her role.

"You don't mean THAT much to me," she lied.

Ikuto frowned. "Please don't make me feel so unloved," he pouted. Amu was caught a little off guard by this remark, and softened. Her lips formed a smile as she looked at his caring face, and before she had a chance to process what was going on, his lips were on hers, and they were kissing.

Amu was caught breathless by the feel of his lips on hers. This wasn't the first time they had kissed, but it felt like it could've been. This kiss was different than the first. The first kiss was passionate, but nice, and sweet. This one was burning with desire, and wasn't nearly as innocent as the first. Amu reached her hands up and tangled her fingers into his hair.

Their tongues intertwined for the first time, and Amu was exhilarated. She was on new territory, kissing, but Ikuto was nice about it, and didn't try doing anything perverted. Amu gave in to her desires and let Ikuto do whatever he wanted. Ikuto had hands of silk, despite what people might think. Ikuto's hands were cupping her face, and Amu felt like she was one with him.

Amu eventually decided that it was enough. She pushed him away from her.

"Now will you tell me?" She asked.

Ikuto grinned. "Yeah. Here's the good news. I'm not leaving."

Amu was shocked. Ikuto wasn't leaving? That was one of the best things she had ever heard.

"Really?" She asked, a huge grin starting to forms on her lips.

Ikuto smiled a pure genuine smile. It was a smile that you didn't see from him very often. "Yeah, I found what I was looking for. Or, I guess he found me."

Confusion. "Wait, your dad?"

"Yeah. I don't need to search for him anymore. I can stay here. With you."

A huge smile had now formed on her lips. She reached up and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer to her. They didn't kiss. They just simply held onto each other, grateful that they had someone to cling to.

Unfortunately, their relationship didn't stay lovey-dovey for to long...
