I DON'T OWN SHUGO CHARA

Pain & Hurt

The next morning...

Amu dabbed gently at Ikuto's cut on his face. Ikuto stirred at the cold of the cloth.

"Ikuto?" Amu said worriedly.

Ikuto sat up slowly and looked at Amu in confusion.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I found you while walking home and you were hurt so I took you home and cleaned your cuts," Amu said.

Ikuto looked blank for a moment, figuring it out then he said in anger , "Oh yeah it's coming back. My step-dad did this, that bastard."

Amu noticed there was sadness amongst the anger.

"So um do you want something to eat?" Amu asked Ikuto and Yoru.

"No it's OK, we should be heading back anyway."

"Are you sure?"

Ikuto nodded, but the moment he put weight on his leg, the pain was too much.

"Ikuto, you shouldn't cause yourself more pain!" Amu said, sitting him down.

Ikuto smiled. "Are you worried about me?"

"Not really," Amu said in her classic "cool and spicy" stubborn way. "I'll go get you something to eat.

Amu went out to buy tayaki but her mum stopped her.

"Amu-chan? Why are you going out this early?" Amu's mum asked while washing the breakfast dishes.

"Umm... I need to go to a Guardians meeting..." Amu said from the the top of her head. "I'll be back soon.

She ran to a tayaki stall and bought two tayaki and ran back.

"Amu-chan? Back already?" Amu's mum called.

"Uh yeah, half-way there I got a text saying the meetings been cancelled," Amu said halfway up the stairs.

Amu came back up to her room to find Ikuto laying on the floor in an awkward position as not to cause his leg any pain.

"Yoru!" Amu called. "Here you go."

"TAYAKI-nya!" Yoru yelled in delight.

"Ikuto? Do you want to sit up and eat some tayaki?"

Ikuto groaned slightly as he sat up and bit into the warm tayaki Amu had bought him.

"Um is it ok if I check your leg?" Amu asked.

Ikuto nodded. Amu gently pulled back the bandages and then smiled.

"It's healing up but it's still a bit deep."

"Thankyou Amu," Ikuto said. " And thanks for the kiss yesterday as well."

Amu blushed beetroot.

"You remember that?" Amu whispered.

Ikuto moved up closer, dragging his bad leg. He smirked at Amu.

"Didn't know you had these feelings for me, Amu."

"I don't, I- I just felt bad that you got hurt."

"It's so obvious you're lieing."

"Shut up, no I'm n- "

Amu's words were stopped by a kiss planted by Ikuto. Amu was startled and pushed him of. No words could get out of her mouth, she was too shocked.

"Tell me you don't like me."

Amu couldn't. All she wanted to do was kiss him again.

Ikuto smiled. He kissed her again and this time Amu didn't pull away.

Did you like it? R&R please :)
