Amu woke up at the sound of someone tapping at the screen door.

"Argh... stop it... go away." Amu moaned, throwing the covers over my head to drown out the noise.

"Let me in, baka!"

Begrudgingly, Amu got out of bed and marched to the screen doors.

"What do you want?!" Amu shouted, thrusting open the doors.

"Nice to see you to." Ikuto said, hands on his hips.

Amu just stared at him in shock. Ikuto was shirtless, showing off all his muscles in his arms and what could be a hint of a six-pack on his stomach. His hair was soaking, plastered to his face.

"Well?" Ikuto questioned.

"Wha... what?" Amu stammered, coming out of her trance.

"Can i come in or are you just going to continue staring at me with your mouth open?"

"I... I... I wasn't staring!"

"Your blushing." Ikuto said.

As if to prove his point Ikuto walked over and grabbed her chin, twisting it left and right as if inspecting her face. This only make Amu turn scarlet.

"See, look."

Ikuto placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her around to face her mirror. Sure enough, her face was bright red as if she had just ran a marathon. Amu couldn't help but look up at Ikuto; who was staring at Amu as if deep in thought. His eyes were glazed over, as if he was in another world. Amu began to fidget under his gaze.

"What... what happened to you?"

Ikuto snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of her voice. He suddenly realized what she just asked so he looked up at himself in the mirror, half naked.

"Why? Your not going to attack me are you?" Ikuto chuckled.

"No! I was only wondering why you are all wet! I mean, it's not been raining at all today!"

When it looked like he wasn't going to answer her she stormed off to her bed, angry and embarressed at what he said. She lay down and pretended to go to sleep, hoping he would get the hint and leave.

"I thought I saw Embryo."

Amu opened her eyes and looked up at him. He had turned round to face her with a serious looking posture, but his face showed a completely different emotion, like he was almost ashamed.

"I was chasing after it in the park... but i wasn't looking where i was going so... I tripped into the pond."

Amu just continued to stare at him, looking as his face slowly turned redder and redder with every second. She couldn't help but imagine him running and then falling comically into the pond.

"Pffffffffffft hahahahahahahahaha." Amu laughed.

Ikuto continued to stare at her laughing at him, clearly getting annoyed.

"Gomen gomen hehehehehe."

Amu tried to calm down but failed every time. Only till she looked up at Ikuto to see him staring out the window looking angered did she immediately stop.

"I'm sorry, Ikuto, really I am."

Ikuto slowly turned round to face her. He thought she looked so cute the way she looked at him now; all worried and concerned.

"What you going to do then to make it up to me?"

Before Amu could say anything Ikuto slowly started walking towards her. Once he reached her bed he started leaning down to meet her face. Amu didn't know how to react so she closed her eyes hoping he would stop.

"What about a kiss?"

Amu opened her eyes in shock. His midnight blue eyes meet her amber ones.

*BOOF*

Amu throw a pillow at Ikuto.

"Don't joke with me!"

"Awwww."

"I'll do one better... I will let you sleep on the floor with a blanket, I will even throw in that pillow, literally."

"Why can't I just sleep beside you like we used to?" Ikuto teased.

"NO!"

Amu picked up the pillow and throw it on the floor along with a blanket that was already on her bed. She then turned around in her bed, facing away from him to the wall.

"Hmmm... look at how she treats us after all we did for her!" Yoru moaned, sticking out his tongue.

"Let's just go to sleep Yuro."

"Okay... night Ikuto."

Yuro yawned and curled up beside Ikuto as he was lying down on the floor beside Amu's bed.

"Night Yoru... night Amu-chan." Whispered Ikuto.

"...Night Ikuto." Whispered Amu.

Ikuto grinned and curled up into a ball himself, with a huge smirk on his face as he slept.
