What happens when Ikuto offers to keep Amu company when she's bored out of her mind?

This was going to be a one-shot but I decided it would be better if I made it longer. Its five chapters.

Ikuto ended up going to college a little later due to looking for his father. I'm gonna go ahead and say he quit the orchestra once he found his father so he could go to college. He wasn't going to go back afterwards because Amu would've grown up by then ;) and he wouldn't want to leave her, or make her move around so much. *sigh* so sweet of him! XD

Ikuto: What's she so excited about?

Amu: Who knows?

Ikuto: Ne, Amu, did you see the summary? This is perfect Amuto material. *smirks

Amu: Nani! Nothing is going to happen between us!

: *scoffs* Are you kidding! This entire thing is Amuto! There isn't a page that doesn't have it!

Ikuto:*grins* Great.

Amu: I won't allow it!

: Too bad. I'm the writer, so suck it up. Plus, you guys are totally meant for each other. Don't deny you like him Amu. Scratch that, love him. You end up with him in the manga.

Amu: *sighs in defeat

Ikuto: Yay! She's not denying it. *glomps Amu. Has a beautiful, genuine smile on his face

: *starts to swoon. Sighs* I want him to be mine but I can't dare to take him away from Amu. That would just be plain cruel.

Ikuto: I like you.*smiles gorgeously* You're going to be my new best friend.

: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPP!

Ikuto: We should do the disclaimer.

Amu: 4ever does not own Shugo Chara! or Kaichou Wa Maid Sama

Ikuto: If she did, we would make out. Amu would be older so I wouldn't be a pedophile. At least I hope she would do those things.

Amu:*rolls her eyes* On with the story!

Amulet Spade!

"Mou, why does everyone have to be so busy? Nagi has basketball, Rima's with her parents, Utau's got a photo shoot for her new album, Yaya has dance rehearsal, Kukai has soccer practice, and Tadase and Kairi are busy with Tsukasa-sensei. Even Ran, Su, Miki, and Dia have something to do. Not even Ami is available." Amu grumbled. Amu was sitting on a bench in the park with her head back, looking at the sky. "I'm so bored!" she shouted. For once she wasn't swamped in homework and now she didn't have anything to do. Music drifted through the air and Amu recognized it immediately. "Ikuto's violin playing really is beautiful." She said to one in particular. Content with listening-and knowing if she went over he'd stop- the pinkette closed her eyes and listened to his violin song with a small smile gracing her features. The music he played sounded a lot happier now that he was free from Easter and had found his father.

"So you like my playing that much, Amu?" The way he said her name sent shivers down the girls back. Her face was red.

"So what if I do?" she retorted; her cool and spicy attitude coming into place.

"There's nothing wrong with that." He smirked. "It's good that you're enjoying yourself." The line and the smirk made her face heat up further. He stopped playing at her silence. "What? No yelling?"

"What am I supposed to say to that!" Ikuto chuckled.

"Why are you out here by yourself? Shouldn't you be hanging out with the kiddy-king and your other friends?"

"You know he's not a kid anymore; were in high school now. Everyone's grown up. And they're all busy." She waved it off like it didn't matter.

"We all may have grown up, but he's still a kiddy-king." The former Joker rolled her eyes. "If you're so bored" Amu looked at him, waiting for him to continue. "you can hang out with me." Amu was so shocked. There was no smirk. No indication that he was teasing her. Even though she was a sophomore and he was a freshman in college now, he still teased her endlessly. He had told her that he would go to the community college just so he could continue teasing her. She had stayed up that night ranting about him for an hour. Her charas had sweat dropped as they listened to her yell.

"O-okay." She said dumbfounded.

"Let's go then." He had packed up his violin and slung it over his shoulder.

"Where are we going?" she asked, following him. He shrugged his shoulders and Amu sighed. "Why don't we go to this café Rima, Nagi, Yaya, and I hang out at?"

"Okay, but what about the rest of your friends?"

"Most of the time Utau is either working or with Kukai, so we don't see them too often. Tadase and Kairi are always doing student council stuff so they only hang with us occasionally."

"What about those three girls you hung out with sometimes in elementary school?"

"Oh, they all started going to a public school.*let's pretend the high school was part of Seiyo and Seiyo is a private school. It seems like one.* So we go places during vacation." By now the pair had gotten to the café.

"Maid Latte?"

"The staff is really nice. Come on."

"Okaerinasaimase Goshujin-sama, Ojou-sama."

"Hey Misa-chan. We want a table upstairs." As Misa led them upstairs, she started talking to Amu in a hushed tone.

"Sooo, who's this? Your boyfriend?"

"N-no!" she shouted quietly. Misa-chan just gave her a 'really?' look and left, telling them she would be back with water.

"So, what about you? Don't you have anyone to hang out with?" the flustered girl asked; trying to fill the silence. She wasn't used to having actual conversations with the cat, and it felt awkward.

"I've got two guys I hang out with sometimes."*They're the ones he was with when Amu saved Su from Nikaido.

"Shouldn't you hang out with them more? Don't you get bored? Are there any clubs you could join?"

"I like being alone." He said nonchalantly. Then he smirked. "Although, I do like to hang out with you." She groaned and did her best to ignore that.

"Well I think you should join a club. They're loads of fun. Wait, do they have clubs in college? I'll have to find that out." She said to herself.

"Are you in any clubs?" She perked up a little.

"I'm in a club that alternates between doing sports, drawing, music-which includes playing instruments and singing-and cooking. Its lots of fun. I made four new friends that are a lot like Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia." She beamed with excitement. "I'm still not sure about my dream though." She sobered but stayed happy. "Do you know what your dream is?"

"Yeah, I've already reached part of it. For the rest, it just depends on time." He smiled contentedly.

I'm glad he isn't afraid to show me his soft side.

Amu smiled at the thought. Ikuto saw her looking at him.

"What?"

"Nothing." She started eating the ice cream she ordered.

She's really changed. As soon as she realizes her dream and gets it her charas will disappear.

Ikuto took a bite out of his taiyaki. While they were eating their treats Amu's phone buzzed. When she looked at the message a look of panic crossed her face.

"Ohmygod! I completely forgot!"

But that will probably be a while…

Ikuto sweat dropped as he thought.

She snapped him out of it when she exclaimed, "Today's the last day of the sale, and I haven't gone yet!"

Same old Amu.

The sweat drop slid further down the back of his head.

"Come on!" She flew down the steps, past the register-here Ikuto tossed the money for the food on the desk-and out the door; dragging him like Kukai used to drag her. Ikuto spent the rest of the day following the shopaholic, carrying her clothes and giving out his opinion when asked.

When Amu saw Ikuto eye a jacket on the way to the register, she snuck it in the bag he was carrying for her.

It's the least I can do for making him put up with hanging out with me all day. Plus, it's really stylish and suites him very well.

The fashionista smiled at her great artistic taste. During the shopping trip she acted very much like Miki.

.oO0Oo.

Miki and Su were floating around, trying to find Yoru-who had taken Kiseki's crown out of bordem-when she paused. The spadette could feel the change in her bearer's heart. Amu was finally acting like one of her would-be-selves. She was one step closer to being her full potential and realizing her dream.

"Amu-chan." Miki beamed. She was really proud and very happy for Amu.

.oO0Oo.

"Wow, hot and sweet! I wish my boyfriend was like yours. Kaidou never goes shopping with me.*That's one of Kukai's brothersXD* Let alone carries my stuff." To Ikuto's surprise, Amu didn't correct the cashier, she only blushed. He shrugged, a little happy, and a little satisfied, that she didn't say anything.

Amu was relieved Ikuto was staring off into space when they checked out.

I'm so glad. I want the jacket to be a surprise.

She giggled, capturing Ikuto's attention.

"What is it, Amu? Are you happy the cashier thought I was your boyfriend?" Ikuto had never seen her turn so red.

"W-what! A-as if." She shouted, not able to keep herself from stuttering. He chuckled.

"It's getting kind of late. We should probably get you home if you want to be there in time for dinner."

"It's already that late? Geez, where did the day go?" He matched her pace as she started off toward her house.

"Time flies when you're having fun." She surprised him. Again.

"Yeah, I guess it does." She said quietly. Ikuto looked at her out of the corner of his eye and saw her smiling. Shock flashed across his face and a light dusting of red settled on his cheeks. He regained his composure before the strawberry could see.

Holy crap…

They were both in their own worlds until they got to her door.

"Ja ne." Ikuto lifted his hand in good bye and turned to leave.

"W-wait." Amu called. Puzzled, Ikuto turned around. He watched the pinkette take something out of the bag that looked familiar.

That's the jacket I liked. He thought in wonder. Why?...

Amu's face was on fire.

"Here." She thrust her arms out offering the jacket. Confused, Ikuto took it. "I-I saw you looking at it and-and I decided to buy it for you as, um, thanks for-hanging out with me today." She trailed off, too embarrassed to continue. She avoided his gaze, but looked up when he called her.

"Amu." She was taken aback by what she saw. Ikuto was giving her a genuine smile. His expression read joy, gratitude, and something else. Before she could comprehend what was going on, Ikuto leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips. She heard a whispered thanks and he was gone. Her face was even redder than before.

"That damned cat." She put her hand over her lips, wondering why he kissed her, what that emotion was in his eyes, and what this feeling was that had settled in her heart.

So, what'd you think? I won't submit the next chapter unless I get at least five reviews kay? I've already finished the whole story. Five reviews is my policy.

Ikuto: Wow, this is a really good story. I kiss Amu in the first chapter.

Amu: I-I can't believe you kissed me…

: I think she's lost it. Why don't you snap her out of it Ikuto?

Ikuto: *smirks* sure.

*Kiseki floats in-his crown back on his head*

Kiseki: HAHAHAHA! R&R YOU INSCOLENT COMMONERS!

*Yoru floats in*

Yoru: No one will listen to you if you say it like that~nya. Do it like this~nya. *imagine Yoru pulling off puss' whole cute thing from shrek(eeekkk! So adorable)* Please R&R~nya.
