Oi! This is my very fist fanfic! Wit the help of all my other online buddies, I have finally been able to get the courage and write a story! Amuto is a old couple from Shugo Chara. I hope you enjoy this!

Hinamori Amu was definitely not happy. She woke up late; her mother became angry at her for not eating all her breakfast, and she almost forgot some of her homework because Ami hid it from her.

She shouted out a goodbye to her mother and rushed out of the front door.

"What a way to spend a Monday morning. Who am I kidding? Nobody likes Mondays anyway…"

Amu continued to walk down the street toward her current school, Seiyo High, until Hotori Tadase ran to catch up with her.

"Tadase-kun! What are you doing here?" Amu said, facing Tadase.

He saw the angry expression she wore and looked away. "I just thought that walking with Amu would make her happy."

Amu was taken aback and she blushed. "Tadase-kun….I am s-sorry….."

How could you feel that way to your Prince? You're not mad at him, so there is no reason to act like you are! Amu told herself. She shook her head and glanced Tadase's way.

"Gomenasai, Tadase-kun. I wasn't mad at you. Oh, um, and it does make me happy that… You're walking with me." Amu said (more like muttered) reluctantly. Instantly, Tadase's face brightened up and he flashed a smile.

She let out a sigh of relief and looked up at the gray sky that lay above the two high school students.

"Hey, Tadase-kun, do you think it's going to rain?"

Both of them walked in an awkward silence until they finally reached their school. Amu felt raindrops land softly on her pink hair and was about to say something to Tadase when she saw a flash of dark blue behind a nearby bush. Of course, there's only one thing that would pop up in her mind. Ikuto.

"T-Tadase-kun… I-I need to check the…. Flower beds! Oh, yes! How could I forget! Yaya-chan told me to check the flower beds!" Amu said, rather too quickly. Tadase only nodded and headed to the Royal Garden, where all the other Guardians are.

After Tadase was out of Amu's sight, she ran towards the bush that she thought Ikuto was hiding behind. But to her dismay, she saw nothing. She let out a frustrated sigh.

"Ikuto, if you are going to try something perverted on me, forget it because I am on school grounds!" She declared, a little too loudly.

"Hinamori-san? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the Royal Garden where everyone else is?"

Amu whirled around to find Kairi, one of the Guardians, staring directly at her.

"A-ah…..Kairi-kun," Amu said, avoiding eye contact to think of an excuse to tell the freshman Guardian. "I was going to sweep the street, where all those leaves are…..You should head to the Royal Garden now; you probably don't want to miss what they are talking about, right Kairi-kun?" He studied Amu's face, hoping to figure out what was going on, but he failed because she had all these mixed feelings. Kairi let out his own sigh and started walking towards his destination.

Just when Amu thought he wouldn't turn around, Kairi turned his head quickly, just to find her looking into a bush.

"Hinamori-san, what are you doing?"

She had no choice but to make another excuse, or else he'd have to know. She mentally face palmed herself. While she was thinking, the atmosphere between her and Kairi became very awkward.

"Eh, Hinamori-san, if it is a personal matter, I do not wish for you to explain. Just make sure you do not overwork yourself by raking those leaves, because there will be a festival in a few hours. Remember that please. It will start at eleven 'o' clock in the morning."

She was speechless and did nothing but nod and smile at Kairi's reminder. After he disappeared into the trees that stood guard over the Royal Garden, she did an actual face palm. "Why am I so embarrassed to say that-"

"You're trying to find me?" Ikuto said, finishing Amu's question; which was suppose to only be heard by her. She turned around sharply and finally found what she was looking for. "Ikuto!"
