fiirst fanfiction dudess. please don't be too judgemental :P this'll be really short probsmcgobs, just sayin. ohh and beeteedubss, i don't own shugo chara.

Normal POV
"Ran, Miki, Suu, Dia!" she shouted. Her eyes were glistening with tears of joy. I've never seen her so happy and relieved, thought both Ikuto and Tadase. In all the commotion, Tadase realized he stepped back from Amu because he was looking up at her charas in amazement. When he realized he did this, he snuck a glace at Ikuto and Amu, and he smiled half-heartedly. He truly had never seen Amu look so comfortable, so happy.

**Flashback**
"I'm not going to give up," Ikuto said.
"I'm not going to give up, either," replied Tadase.
**Flashback ends**

Tadase wasn't ever going to give up, but he knew that if Amu were to be happier with Ikuto, well, then he will have to accept it. Tadase, although ferocious (as king) sometimes, wasn't the kind of person to rip apart something so precious. Amu and Tadase already had been friends for almost a year; removing the romance wouldn't do any harm. He would still love her, and she would always love him.

While Tadase was thinking this, Ikuto looked at Amu. Her golden eyes were glistening like diamonds, especially with her tears. Ikuto loosened his tight grip on her shoulders, but slid his arms around her waist and tucked his head onto her shoulder, inhaling her fresh strawberry hair.

Amu POV
My vision was all blurry due to my tears of joy. Dia, Suu, Miki, and Ran were back! I missed them soo much. I wished they would come and cuddle against my cheeks like they always did, but they took a long time coming back down because they wanted to be careful with the beautiful bouquet.

I felt Ikuto's arms snake around my waist and his heavy head leaning on my shoulder. Surprisingly, I kind of liked it...(don't tell him please! .). I leaned my head on his head, heart pounding as I saw my best friends in the whole entire world drop the bouquet and rush to me.

"Amuu-chan!" "Amu!" "Amu-chan-desuu!" "Amu!" all my charas squealed to me. They were as crazy and amazing as I remembered. Ikuto let go of me and watched me cradle my charas next to my face. I probably looked like the kid Ikuto always said I was, but who cares. My charas were back!

Ikuto POV
I let go of Amu to let her bask in the glory of her charas' return. Oh Yoru..., I quietly reminised with myself. I missed him a lot, but he knew that I was now a "free alley cat", just like him. Looking back at Amu, I saw her looking like the child I always knew her as. She looked just as innocent as she always does, but I realized that with every meeting I had with her, Amu's beauty grew ten fold. I smiled at the thought and also at her happiness thinking, it's going to be me who's going to make her this happy one day.

Utau came out of nowhere, breaking up the beautiful moment. "IKUTO-KUN!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Something honestly must be wrong because she hasn't yelled like that since we were kids. "GET OVER HERE NOW, IKUTO-KUN, NOW," she screeched, her voice staggering. Amu and her charas broke their loving moment; confused and worried, they looked in the direction of her voice. I instinctively grabbed onto her hand and looked back at her in anticipation. And I was not let down because her beautiful blush spread across her face. "Amu's on fire-desuu!" Suu said. I gave Amu one last smirk before we sprinted to where Utau.

We reached Utau and Kukai, and I saw she was shaking in Kukai's arms. I asked her in a calm tone, "Utau, what's wrong?" She looked up at me with those eyes scared; the eyes she made when Mom married the director of Easter. "It's-" she said before being cut off by a familiar laugh. No...it can't...be...

Amu POV
I was still holding on to Ikuto when he was talking to Utau. He kept his voice level to help her calm down, but it didn't work. Utau's body was shaking. Is she having a seizure? I thought worried. Then Utau said, "It's-" before she was cut off by a laugh. It was distant, but approaching the group. Amu looked at Ikuto and saw his body stiffen. Worried, she held tightly to his hand.

Ikuto POV
Amu squeezed my hand lightly as I turned slowly. For the second time today, I wasn't let down by my prediction. There he was. Aruto Tsukiyomi...Dad.

yeahh soo that was probably really bad...SORRY. i'll probably get a second chapter up sooner or later? but if you liked it, review it. if you had some ideas to help me, review it. if you didn't like this, well, sucks. don't even review.

anyway, thanks for your time, and i sure hope you had a wonderful day(:
