Amu walked down the empty street with only her blue Chara for company. Ran and Su were at home with Ami who had a headcold. Su was mothering her while Ran entertained her. Amu had been planning on staying home to help but her parents had insisted she leave so she didn't get sick as well. Miki had come with her since she was pretty usless when it came to Ami being sick since she wasn't mothering or entertaining so she had come with her cotton-candy haired owner.

Amu sighed as she looked around, she was dressed in a pink and black checkered sailor shirt and skirt which she had worn on her "date" with Tadase to the park with icecream which Ikuto had shown up and they had an indirect kiss from the ice cream. Miki flew beside her as she wandered aimlessly around.

Amu moved some of her bangs out of the way as she turned and heard a high pitched meow. Looking she saw a black cat with green eyes. "Hello," Miki said floating in front of the cat who looked up at herwith it's bright eyes that looking now they saw was yellow aroudn the pupils, green surronding it and brown flecks in the cat's eyes. Miki stared at the cat's eyes and planned to draw them later.

"Let's go Miki, we've got to find somewhere to sit." Amu said shrugging, the cat was adorable. Sighing the spade followed her, landing on her shoulder as the cat followed them, rubbing against Amu's legs. Looking down Amu's face softened.

Sitting at the base of a tree the black cat worked its way onto her lap and she gently scratched underneath its chin while Miki sat on its head and scratched its ears. Unkown to the two of them on the top of the tree slept Ikuto and Yoru taking a little cat nap. Blinking his golden eyes open Yoru sniffed, smelling strawberries and coffee. He instantly knew what it was, Amu and Miki. He wondered where Ran and Su was, but he smelt no cheeries or cotton so figured they weren't there. Glancing down he only saw pink hair.

"Ikuto~nya." Yoru whispered and Ikuto just mumbled sleeply. "I see the X-girl, Amu. Nya." Yoru said slyly and that got Ikuto to open his eyes. Glancing down he saw Amu's pink hair as her blue Chara flew up to her face.

"So artistic, with such fragil and graceful structure." Miki said with a smile and Amu let out a giggle.

"And so soft and lovable." Amu agreed as Miki flew back down to pet the cat that neither Yoru or Ikuto could see. Curious Ikuto did a Character Change and Yoru hung off his shoulder while he jumped down.

To see Amu and Miki both giving attention to a cat.

It was a black cat which was seated comftorably on Amu's lap while Miki sat on its head and scracthed behind its ears as Amu petted along its back and her other hand scratched under its chin. Yoru growled gently but neither girl heard it. The cat opeened one eye to see the two others but that was all it did.

Picking it up and holding it to her face Amu rubbed her nose against the cat's black nose. "You are just the most adorable cat I've ever seen." Amu said with a giggle.

"And so loving, I never knew a cat can be so cuddly and loving." Miki added as Amu sat the cat down and petted again. Both human and Chara froze and the cat ran away when there were two angry hisses. Looking up surprised they saw Ikuto with Yoru floating beside him. Both were glaring at them and Amu and Miki looked at each other.

"What?" Amu asked starting to stand up but before she could Ikuto was on her, on his hands and knees. One hand was supporting him on one side of her while the other was on the tree beside her on her other side. His knees straddling her a bit away from her. Yoru had Miki on the ground straddling her and holding each of her hands in his own on the side of her head. Chara and owner were right beside each other, but both in their own personal bubble that it was hard to even remember that.

"That wasn't nice, Amu." Ikuto whispered looking at Amu through his bangs and his eyes slightly dark.

"What the heck are you talking about?" Amu said trying to back away from him but she was against the tree trunk. They were in an abandoned part of the park, away from any walkways or others. "Ikuto?" She whispered, she had never seen him like this. Lightign up his eyes was possesivness she had never seen but in movies.

"Your mine." Ikuto whispered looking directly into her eyes, "it seems that I'm the jelause type." Ikuto said with a shrug. He never thought of himself as the jealous type, he never cared one way or the other about anything, friends, parent's attention, or any item. Perhaps it was a side of him that would only awaken with Amu.

"Jealous type?" Amu asked trying to scoot away. Ikuto just smirked at her and she blushed.

"Don't you ever pet any cat but me." He said in what almost was a growl. "I'm your cat, I'm your only cat." He almost purred nuzzling her cheek. "I'm going to have to punish you, strawberry." Ikuto added nipping her cheek.

"P-punish?" Amu asked looking up at him with wide eyes and Ikuto simply nodded.

"You didn't think I'd let you get away with that with no conciquences, did you? Who knows how many other cats you've petted. You have to learn that it isn't allowed, you've been very naughty." Ikuto said and Amu blushed darker, her heart beat fast and suddenly she had a hard time breathing but she wasn't afraid. Nervous, yes, but she didn't think Ikuto would honestly ever do something to truly hurt her.

Laying beside the two humans was Miki laying flat on her back while Yoru held her down. "Get off of me, furball," Miki ordered as ocean and sun met in a glaring contest.

"Nya." Yoru said shaking his head in the negative, "you were petting another cat. That isn't nice, maybe some of my friends can teach it a lesson. Nya." Yoru said, the second half had been said more to himself than the spadette.

"Yoru! Don't you dare!" Miki said struggling to get away, "so the cat wanted petted, you leave it alone! I swear if you do anything to it I'll...uh, I'll..." Miki faltered trying to figure out what she'd do. She liked Yoru, so there were many things she'd do if it was any other Chara that she wouldn't do to him and she didn't make idle threats so it had to be something that she had the complete capability to do.

"You'll what? Draw pictures until I give up?" Yoru knew he shouldn't be doing this, that it was wrong. However seeing her pet some cat had made him so jealous. He didn't want to hurt her, just tease her-get a reaction that no other cat could ever even hope for.

"No, I just won't ever talk to you again." Miki said seriously, it would be hard but she could do it. Amu loved Ikuto, she knew that she did. Of her sisters she had been the first to know and could tell Ikuto loved Amu. The cat boy came to visit Amu often and she and her sisters all got along well with Yoru, Ran saw him as an almost brother who she could have races with, Su saw him as an adorable cat who she often made fish for-being as she is a waitress/maid/housewife and there is something about housewives and cats. She had always been different, her relationship with Yoru wasn't ever as easily defined.

She knew she liked him, she could accept it. She had figured he liked her back, at least a little bit, and with everything that had happened just now she figured it was more than a little bit. He wans't really the jealous type, never was jealous of anything but it seems that this is the one thing. However she could think logiclly-she was a logical person, and could realize even though he was holding her down it wasn't tightly or hard and if she actually truly tired to get away she could.

Ikuto was obviously head-over-heels in love with Amu, Diamond-before she had gone back into Amu's heart-had seen all Ikuto did while she was with Utau, all the danger he went in to protect Amu. Amu loved Ikuto back just as much, however she was scared, she never felt like it before and was afraid to admit to it. In the end she was tweleve and cute while he was seventeen and hot. She honestly thought he was only teasing her, that was all she was to him. She was obviously wrong-but she didn't know that.

"What! NYA!" Yoru said freezing still.

"If your the type of Chara who will hurt something completely innocent because your mad that someone petted it than you aren't who I thought you were and I want nothing to do with someone like that." Miki said simply and it worked just how she knew it would. Yoru was a good man.

"I'm sorry Miki, I didn't actually mean it! Nya!" He said nuzzling against her neck. "I wouldn't really ask someoen to hurt a cat because you petted it, I am jealous that you petted it though, why'd you pet the cat and not me, Miki? Do you like it more than me?" Yoru asked with big eyes and Miki sweat dropped as well as being shocked.

"You think I'd like a cat more than you?" Miki asked with a sigh, "of course I don't." She added rolling her eyes and looking away.

"Good." Yoru praised licking her neck and the artist beneath him froze.

"What are you doing!?"

"Your punishment~nya." Yoru answered simply, as if it was the most naturel thing in the world. "I can't have you petting other cats unless they can tell that you belong to me. Nya." He added with a shrug.

"I don't recall saying that I belonged to you." Miki growled out shifting, trying to get away.

"Well you do, Miki." Yoru sadi with a smirk as his tail waved happily. "And soon every cat will know it." He added with a devilish smirk as he continued to lick at her neck and she blushed. If she were to actually struggle and push at him to get him away he'd move away in a heartbeat.

She knew that.

Still she did not move.

So what if she liked it?

While the two blue Charas had mostly worked it out their owners weren't as quick about it.

Moving the hand that was at the tree to her cheek Ikuto cupped Amu's face and used his thumb to stroke her cheek. "Now, what would be an appropriate punishment?" Ikuto mused seemingly deep in thought as Amu stayed quiet, the only sound her heavy breathing. Smirking Ikuto quickly flipped them so that he was sitting with his back to the tree and his long legs out in front of him and Amu sitting in his lap, straddling his theighs and both her hands on his chest as his reseted at her waist and back.

"Ikuto! What are you do~mmph!" Amu didn't get to finish her outraged qustion as Ikuto forced her face against his chest and contently stroked her hair and back with one hand and the other holding her waist.

"I think I've figured what your punishment will be, my naughty princess." Ikuto said with a smirk as Amu tried to push away from him, he let her go enough that she could move enough that he could look into her eyes but that is all he let her get away, graving onto her chin to make her look into his eyes. "I give you plenty of attention and you don't give me any, your punishment is you have to give me a lot of attention. Hours of it. Hours of me being your only focus." Ikuto said simply with a smirk as Amu blushed darkly. "Starting now." He said and lifting her up by her theighs he easily jumped into the tree branchs and sat in a branch, leaning against it they were in the same positions they were in on the ground. Only now there was no ground so Amu's legs hung in midair as she sat on his lap. The scared honey eyed girl wrapped her arms around his neck and held tightly to him.

"Ikuto! Are you crazy! Were so high up!" Amu said holding him tightly as her heart beat fast.

"So your afraid of being so high up?"

"If we fall we could break our necks!"

"I see," Ikuto whispered as a perverted smirk took over his face, "I am a cat, I'm fine up here. I'll take you down when you give me the attention that I want and that is part of your punishment." He said with a smug smirk and looking up at him Amu glared but she was more afraid of being dropped so figured she might as well get this over with. Plus she was scared.

Sighing in irritation, she'd so get him back for this, Amu started running her hands through his hair. What exactly was she supposed to do? Placing her head against his shoulder so her face was right agianst his neck she at least cut her view off of the leaves making it easier to forget she was in a tree. Digging her fingers into the velvety locks of blue hair she gently scratched his scalp and Ikuto, much like a real cat, pushed his head agianst her hands encourgingly.

"That's feels good~" he practiclly purred as Amu continued to scratch his scalp.

I Might as well do this, I can't go home any time soon anyway. The pinkette thought as she continued to scratch at his scalp. He really is like a big cat, and there was something calming, fun, and magical about petting a cat when it wanted to be petted.

It wasnt' like she enjoyed sitting in his lap with his arms wrapped around her protectivly as she played with his hair.

No. Never.

…

Okay, maybe a little bit.

Okay, I was going to do what Amu and Ikuto do than what Miki and Yoru do but the last line was amazing so I went into the middle of the story and added Miki and Yoru. My favioret Chara couple and my favioret human couple in Shugo Chara in one story. Well, actually, all my Shugo Chara stories have Yoru and Miki romance and Amu and Ikuto romance at least mentioned if they aren't in the story. Who am I kidding? In every Shugo Chara story I have Amu and Ikuto are the main couple and Yoru and Miki are right there with them.
