Chapter 1:

Summary: With the 'un- helpable' Ikuto Tsukiyomi, who better to help him than Hinamori Amu? Of course, she can't let him know she's an angel, and with him only knowing her as 'Hinamori,' the girl staying at his house. Oh yeah. Did I mention that he's a nerd that needs to bring out his 'playboy' side out? -AMUTO-

The pinkette took a deep breath, waiting in anticipation for her angel wings to come. Amu was standing atop a tall building. Now, to bystanders under the building, would think she's committing suicide. Yeah right.

Already, people were gathering under the tall Music Corporation Building, calling 911 or the ambulance. Maybe both.

Amu had her arms spread wide, her face aglow, looking up to the skies. A woman under the building shrieked. Probably thinking that Amu was enjoying her last moments, before she plunged for the blow of hard cement. Amu laughed how idiotic that was.

This was the moment. I was on Earth, for one last time, before I'll be a full angel. I took a shaky, nervous breath. I then closed my eyes, singing the Song that we angels sang when we were complete with our work, and could get our angel wings.

Of course, all the people who I came in contact with would forget me permanently. This really didn't bother Amu. She never had anything 'special' as everyone called it, with anybody. She didn't need mortal friends. She just wanted to get her wings, and then live a life in the heavens.

The song was almost complete. I was becoming a blur to the bystanders, and they were soon forgetting what they were doing, and who I was. Even the ambulance and police were forgetting about me.

Now that the song was complete, Lady Heaven was in front of me, asking the question she had to always ask the pre-angels, if they wanted their wings, and be an official angel.

I knew my answer. Yes.

She smiled. But soon it disappeared. In a thundering voice, that made me shudder, she said something that I was always frightened she would say. "Hinamori Amu, you have NOT completed your tasks on Earth!" Her voice thundered.

In a shaky breath, I said, "I do-don't know w-what you-you're ta-talking a-a-about."

"Well, "She fixed me with a deadly scary stare, "We'll have to change that, right?" She looked sharply at me.

I nodded my head rapidly. Anything to get my wings.

Her sudden mood changed from scary, to sunny and bright, exactly how she was when I summoned her. "Tsukiyomi Ikuto." She said, giving me a sympathetic smile. "We had many more angels than you, but your potential rank, suddenly got higher."

Shock was written all over my face. "B-but I've always gotten three stars, on all my work. How, could I suddenly, have to deal with… A mere human?" My voice was calm, but on my inside, I felt like ripping myself to shreds, and pulling out every single hair.

"Exactly," She spoke softly, like she was talking to a baby. "He's only seventeen, but he's gotten more angels to assist him, than any normal human."
Confusion was written all over my face. "What does he need help, that the angels can't give him?" I questioned.

"Love," She said, in the same soft tone as before.

"Well, has he ever gotten a crush? Girlfriend?Fr-" Amu got cut off.

"He has nothing. This is why you need to help him. If I took away your angel mark," She motioned at the mark every angel had, on my right arm. "You would be 17, exactly his age. Actually, scratch that, he has a house, and money. Nonetheless, you still need to help him."

I shivered. Being an angel, was a gift that I couldn't imagine, not having. I slowly nodded, understanding what I needed to do. "I-I'll do it."

She raised an eyebrow. "Now, you'll still be a pre-angel, but don't become too attached to the boy. He may mask his true feelings, and never let any secrets about you, or an angel slip out. He's as smooth as a snake, when it comes to talking, and socializing. Also he can act, so don't let him fool you."

I nodded my head. "O-okay. What do I do first?"

She smiled. "Your acceptance to do this is amazing. I was bluffing, but now, you're going to actually going to help him. You seem like a person he would… hmm, how do I say this? Love."

"W-wait. You were lying?" I shrieked.

She smiled. "Of course." She simply said.

I felt a twinge of annoyance, before I remembered, my rank went up, and I beamed. "Well, can I start yet?"

Lady Heaven smiled. "We start now. He needs to be more optimistic. I think I know you can do this. Once you've completed the task, come atop this building," She motioned to the buildings ledge, I was standing on. "And sing this angel song. I'll know right away this is you beckoning me."

I felt satisfied with the answer. Something suddenly occurred to me."If he's so smooth with words, why mask his feelings?" I questioned.

"Because he's a nerd… Oops! Did I forget to mention that?" She said.

I knew she wanted to keep this information, about him, to herself. I narrowed my eyes. "What else about him that you haven't told me? Also, why is he so 'smooth' with words, and not popular?"

"W-well…" Now she was the one stuttering.

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes?" I said, dragging out the's' sound.

"You need to be careful," She confirmed.

"Of what?"

"He has many secrets. Choose a path to take, and it will guide you. Choose the wrong path, and you will be betrayed." She spoke, scaring me.

"Shouldn't he be in school?" I asked.

She smiled. "He's already finished his first three years. He skipped some, and now, he's a starting senior."

I gulped. "How many other things do I need to know?"

"That's it," She simply said.

I nodded my head, slowly letting her words sink in. "Okay."

She smiled encouragingly. "Oh, and step off the ledge. You look like you're going to commit suicide."

I pleaded her with my eyes. "Can I just get the baby wings? They're invisible, and I'll only use them in emergencies. Ooh, and add the safety net. I could use it if I'm in trouble, just by the sound of my voice."

She slowly nodded. "Yeah, I think that'll be good, seeing as all the angels we sent die-"She stopped. "I-I mean, j-just forget it!" She snapped. "Now take these," She snapped her fingers, "And don't grow too attached to them! I sent the safety net on unlimited, so you can use it every time you're in trouble. Plus, if both, Ikuto and you get in trouble, touch, or make sure you're in contact with him, and you'll both be out of harm's way."

I beamed. "Arigatou (Thank you) Lady Heaven!"

She shooed me away. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just complete this task and you're done!"

When Amu was at Tsukiyomi's House….

I used my angel wings that Lade Heaven gave to me, to go to his house. This was going to be a long day.

I was napping, as usual. I was lying on my favorite couch, the white leather one that my mom bought for me, when I turned 10, just after she 'died' or went missing. After I was comfortable, and fell asleep, there was a knock on my front door. I shot open my azure blue eyes, and grudgingly went to open up the front door. (Sorry guys! I don't want to use 'POV's' in this, because this would seem like something I need to try (: Super sorry if you wanted 'Amu's POV' Or 'Ikuto's POV', though I might use it in another story…)

It was a pinkette, who looked around my age. She was also super hot. While I checked her out for a little bit more, she finally noticed someone was behind the door, and rolled her eyes. Feisty.

I was tapping my foot impatiently, waiting for someone to realize someone was at the door. When I realized that there was someone behind the door, I looked at the glass panel, and rolled my eyes. I decided to use my 'Cool N Spicy' attitude and voice on him, so I could also mask my true feelings.

When 'Tsukiyomi' opened up the door, I decided not to tell him I knew his name. That would sound very much like I was stalking him. "So," He says casually. "What's your name Pinkette?"

I narrowed my eyes. Even though I had pink hair, doesn't mean he could call me that, all friendly and all. "Well," I snapped. "I'm Hinamori."

He whined. "Pinkette, what's your first name?"

Such a freak. No wonder he had no girlfriend. "Whatever. Just call me Hinamori."

"Fine," He sighed. "So," He casually says. "What brought you here and what'cha want to do?"

"Well," I briskly say. "Do you want to bake some desserts?"

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Why… Would I do… that?

"B-because you've never tried it before?" I said, hoping he never did.

"Fine."

"O-okay," I stuttered.

He led me towards the kitchen, and I saw how nice and clean it was. "So neat!" I shrieked.

"Okay... Well, I think we have enough for making… whatever we're making."

*30 minutes later…

"You baka (Idiot)!" I screamed.

"Well I'm not the one that thought of putting the unbroken eggs inside the microwave!" He huffed.

"Well then let's break the eggs, and put the batch into the oven!"

"Lady," He huffed. "As much as I think it's pleasurable having a girl at my house, who are you? " He shrieked.

I rolled my eyes, completely forgetting about the 'batch' of cookies we were about to bake. "Look. I'm here, to make sure you're going to 'enjoy' your moments of 'life' before you regret everything." I said.

He gave me a weird look. "What are you- the Grim Reaper, out to tell me to 'enjoy' my moments of life, before I grow old, and then die?"

"No…" I said, slowly trying to get him to understand what I'm trying to say. "I just want you to enjoy your life, starting now, let's go to the park!" I said, excitement taking over.

"O-okay." He hesitated probably thinking I was weird.. "By the way. Call me Ikuto." He smiled.

I smiled sweetly back. "And call me Hinamori."

*At the park…

"Ooh! I want to go on the swing!" Amu smiled.

Ikuto sighed. This girl was such a pain. "Whatever. Go enjoy yourself, like the kid you are."

Hinamori pouted. (I'm going to keep it like that, until he learns her name.) "I'm not a little 'girl.' I just want to do childish things…" She muttered.

Ikuto rolled his eyes. "Whatever, princess."

"Whatever, princess," She mocked.

"I'm a guy, Hinamori!" Ikuto shrieked.

Hinamori laughed. "Well let's go get ice cream! After our fail at making cookies…" She trailed of widening her eyes.

"THE COOKIES!" They screamed in unison.

Both ran towards the house, hoping nothing happened while they were gone. When they got inside the kitchen, everything was exactly where they put it… other than a note.

Amu (Since he isn't calling her, I'll use her name… Aren't I confusing… ;)) saw an angel slip, which is just a note, angels can only see, and touch, that are just like mail. They usually just have a quick flash, and the 'mail' is instant, so one you're done writing, it just leaves to the other person.

Amu widened her already opened eyes. "I-I'll be right back," She said.

Ikuto looked mildly confused, but Hinamori didn't care; she grabbed the note, and fled to a private area in the house. One that she could be alone in, without anybody watching.

After reading the note 3 multiple times, Amu gently squeezed her eyes shut. "T-this can't be happening. N-not now," She urged herself.

Note: Dearest Hinamori,

As you see, us angels are inside some… er… trouble. We need you very soon Amu, for, our whole race depends on it. The dark, bad magic is back, and it's as strong as ever. This is a war, that we need all our angels to help aid us. Come quickly.

By the powers above, L.H (Hmm... Now who could that be?)

Before Hinamori could ponder this anymore, there was a soft 'thump thump" as a knock, on the door.

Ikuto opened the door, and Amu quickly put the Angel Slip into her everlasting angel pouch. It held everything, and if you wanted to, you could even put in a couch, and it wouldn't even look like its bulging.

Ikuto raised an eyebrow. "You do know, this is my room that you're in, right?"

"No."

"Well," He said. A hint of amusement in his voice. "This is my room." He gestured. "Make yourself at home, inside my… room."

I had a tint of pink on my cheeks. "Right. Sorry."

"What's up with the short answers? Ever since you crashed here, you've been nothing, but a pain in my butt."

"Maybe I have different emotions, you just aren't used to them," I challenged. Inside my head, I was screaming. What are you doing? My mind shrieked. Lady Heaven sent you to make sure this thing, has someone or something, to love!

I suddenly pushed the thought aside, hoping Tsukiyomi didn't notice any type of emotions running across my face. "Well, since it's getting late," He casually says. "Why don't you stay here?"

I looked at him with mock disgust. "I'm so not sharing a bed with you." Inside, my brain criticized me. You aren't getting anywhere with this! Just try to get him some friends, a girlfriend maybe, and a group to have fun with!

Ikuto rolled his azure eyes. "I don't mean that."

"Fine," I huffed.

30 minutes later…

I was on top of a couch, which turned into a makeshift bed, so I could sleep comfortably. Ikuto came by, wearing a loose white tee shirt, and boxers.

Even though I should be used to seeing this, because I helped a lot, I blushed. It wasn't a very noticeable blush, but It was still there.

Ikuto questioned me with his eyes, almost saying it. Why aren't you showered, and brushing your teeth?

I used my eyes, to communicate with his, because I'm getting comfortable, duh.

He stared at me for a long time, before flashing a smirk. "You didn't bring any clothes, money, or anything, other than what you're wearing right now, right?"

I bent my head low. "No…" I muttered.

He sighed, while rolling his eyes. (Hey! That rhymes!) "Just… use one of my shirts, and a pair… of boxers."

"Uh… Okay. B-But you're getting the clothes though!" I screamed.

After Hinamori took a shower, and brushed her teeth…

"These clothes are too baggy!" Hinamori whined.

Ikuto, once again, rolled his eyes. "Sweet cheeks, just shut up, and enjoy my house." Ikuto widened his eyes, and turned abruptly upstairs. "I'm going in my room," He muttered.

Finally with some privacy, Ikuto breathed heavily. "What is going on with me? Ever since she came here, my inner character is… Coming out. I'm no sweet talker, back talker, or the boy with sweet midnight hair… I'm a nerd, geek, freak, and dude with glasses, always fitting in with the 'nerd herd' and I have freaky midnight blue hair. I wonder why I'm acting like this, to a stranger, who… I invited into my house." (Also, yes. Ikuto is talking to himself…)

Amu was swinging her feet back and forth, humming quietly to herself. When she was sure that Ikuto was gone, she took out her mixture that Lady Heaven gave to her.

Flashback, some hours ago… (Remember? When Amu was trying to get her angel wings? If you don't, go all the way to the beginning of the story…)

"Amu," Lady Heaven said giving me a blue-ish mixture.

I looked at her with questioning eyes. "What's this for?"

She smiled. "Like I said before, He's as smooth as a snake, when it comes to talking, and socializing. And since I've had many angels assist him, always failing, I decided to give you this. It'll help you let him show his true feelings. But, it doesn't mean he'll be telling the truth, every time you ask something."

(Some of the conversation, I didn't add in. Sorry if you wanted me to)

Back where Amu was…

I snapped back to reality, hoping Ikuto didn't notice I was daydreaming. Looking around, I noticed he was still not downstairs, where I was. Curiosity bit at me, and finally I gave in. I searched for him everywhere downstairs, when something at the back of my mind tugged at me. (Lol, I just used personification… Personification- Making un-humanly things, do human actions.)

"Why… is Ikuto not down here yet? He would usually already be doing something," I muttered. "Maybe he's doing homework?" Even my question didn't sound realistic. Well. Try to get him to get some friends! Tomorrow, go someplace, and try to get him some friends! My brain shouted at me.

I smiled secretly to myself. I knew exactly where I wanted to take him.

In the morning…

When I woke up, I decided to stretch, and did a small yawn. My nose suddenly smelled something, and I knew Hinamori couldn't cook. Ikuto was now wide awake. She's going to put my house on fire! Ikuto's mind shrieked.

While I was running down the stairs, to at a time, I didn't realize, that the smell, smelt good.

While Amu was making pancakes, she then heard feet running down the stairs. Amu put the blue-ish mixture into her angel sack. Because she had already mixed it into the pancake mixture, there was no need for it to be seen by Ikuto.

"Amu!" Ikuto shouted. "There might be a fire! I smell food burn-" Ikuto trailed off.

Hinamori heard him sniff the air, and heard his deep, husky laugh. "I guess there is no fire. False alarm."

Ikuto breezily walked past Hinamori, and towards the food, still cooking on the pan. (If you don't know, when you have the pancake batter ready, you scoop some up, and put it on the pan. But also turn on the fire.)

"Wow. You actually made something right."

Amu rolled her eyes. "Shut up!"

"Just trying to help."

"Well!" Amu clapped her hands. "The pancake is ready. Put it on the stack I already made, on top of the blue plate."

Ikuto took off the pancake from the frying pan, and put it on the already stacked- stack.

"Okay, breakfast is ready!"

Ikuto stiffened. The last time he heard someone say that, was his mom.

Flashback:

"Breakfast is ready, Ikuto!" Said Ikuto's mom.

"Coming mom!" Ikuto shouted. He had a baby blue toy truck inside his hands, and was walking towards the table.

"Now," Ikuto's mom sternly said. "No playing while you're eating."

Ikuto whined, "Pleaseeeeee? I really want to play with my new toy!"

"Now Ikuto, If I allowed you to play while eating, don't you think your sister-"She stopped.

Ikuto looked mildly confused. "I have a sister?"

Back to reality…

"Ohhh." Ikuto groaned. "My head."

(He just discovered something new, when he was in the 'flashback')

Amu looked worriedly at Ikuto. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah… I-I'm fine."

"Okay… Well d'you want to eat the pancakes now?" Amu asked.

Ikuto took a shaky breath, hoping the headache would go away soon. Still disoriented, Ikuto asked, "I have a sister?"

Amu narrowed her eyes. "I dunno."

(I made her seem evil…)

Ikuto shook his head, "Nevermind. It was just something I was thinking about. No worries."

Amu rolled her eyes. "How can I not be worried about a stranger, who just said 'no worries' after you asked 'I have a sister?' Also, you were just having a flashback, so I know you were seeing something."

Ikuto, shocked, looked at Amu. "H-how do you know I had a flashback? It isn't some normal thing people can just know, when they just glance at someone. Also," Ikuto got suspicious. "When I met you, you were putting the question off. Who are you, Hinamori?
