Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara

Amu crashed out on her bed after a long and gruelling day of school and hunting X eggs…

She sighed "why can't someone else hunt x eggs for a change!" she complained, "no one even cares if I get tired or hurt! No one ever helps me anymore…" but deep down Amu knew that wasn't true, there was always someone who would always save her and annoy her with his incessant teasing… Ikuto…

Ikuto just lie there on his bed after school, drained man I'm bored…

"Ikuto-nya? Are we…?" Yoru, his Shugo Chara began, he was cut off by Ikuto's reply

"yes… we are…" Ikuto said as he left the house via his window.

I think I… No bad Amu Bad! You love Tadase… not that annoying cat! Amu wrestled with her thoughts,

"boo" said a familiar husky voice that made her jump

"I-Ikuto! BAKA! Don't do that!" Amu yelled, Ikuto just laughed

"you know… you don't have to stutter every time I do this… actually do stutter, it makes your reaction funnier to watch!" Ikuto teased

"Ikuto! Damn it! Why do you always tease me!"

"because its fun…"

"Yeah well its not fun for me! You always save me when I'm in trouble, you constantly break me and Tadase-kun up and you always tease me!"

"I think you deserve better…"

"Well that's not for you to decide! Why do you always mess with my heart Ikuto!?" Amu was mad at him and confused at the same time

"Well maybe its because I can't stand the sight of you and kiddy king together, Maybe its because every day I worry about you and I go to sleep wondering if you're ok! Maybe its because I love you!" Ikuto yelled back

Did Ikuto just confess to me!?

"C-could you repeat that last bit Ikuto… I don't know if I got that…" she was calm now, Ikuto edged closer to her, she took a step back and found herself blocked by a wall

"Amu…" he inched closer, his lips right next to hers, his warm breath on her skin "I said I love you…" he kissed her gently on the lips, he pulled away quickly "I'm sorry… that was wrong… I shouldn't have-" Amu grabbed his hand

"shut up and kiss me you stupid cat…" Amu was breathing heavily, her eyes full of lust as she pushed her lips to his with force, Ikuto ran his fingers through her soft, pink hair, he kissed back passionately, he brought her closer, Amu clung to his shirt, she closed her eyes as Ikuto's tongue licked her bottom lip, begging for an entrance, Amu was hesitant at first heh… she's not ready for that sort of thing… Ikuto went to pull away, panting, Amu threw her arms around his neck "don't stop yet…" she said as she pulled him in again, Amu groaned as her mouth opened and Ikuto's tongue moved around her mouth, their tongues entwined, they were forced to break away for air.

"Amu-koi… my little strawberry" and then, Ikuto smiled, not a smirk, but a genuine smile, he held Amu close

"Ikuto I… I love you…" Amu whispered

"More than kiddy king?" He asked, Amu put her hands on his chest I really do love him! Not some little schoolgirl crush like Tadase… but real love…

She leant in

"A hundred times more…" they gazed into each others eyes and became lost in their own little world, they kissed passionately under the moonlight, when they broke, Ikuto walked towards her balcony and jumped away

"see ya… Amu-koi…" he said as he left.

Amu sat on her bed and reflected on tonights events, she snapped out of it when her mobile rang

"H-Hinamori-san? W-would you like to go to the amusment park with me tomorrow?" he asked nervously "I invited the others, but they couldn't make it so it'll be just you and me…"

"sorry Tadase… I'm gonna be busy tomorrow…"

"oh… what are you doing? Out of interest…"

"oh nothing much, just meeting Ikuto…" Amu didn't want to hear what Tadase had to say about it, she already knew what he would say, she hung up and layed down on her bed again

"Amu-chan?" Miki, one of her 4 Shugo charas asked

"yeah?"

"what do you think of this picture?" she asked, Amu looked at the sketch, it was of her and Ikuto kissing with the moonlight in the background

"I like it Miki… its really good…" she said smiling, she took out her diary and began to write down the days events…
