AUTHOR'S NOTE: At the first place, I'm trying to add more Amutoness in this chapter, but... I failed! Gomene.. And by the way, I do not own Shugo Chara.

"Good evening, I'm home!" Amu said as she entered her house. One of her maids, known as Suu, welcomed her. "Good evening Ma'am. Your parents haven't arrived yet." Suu replied politely. "Is that so? Well then, I'm off to my room." Amu answered back. As she went to her room, she sat on her bed and opened the television. She clicked the remote on random and when she knew that she wouldn't see anything nice from it, she just decided to turn it off. To avoid being bored, she decided to pick some random manga inside her drawer. The one she picked was Moe Kare. (a/n: do not own) When she was already in the part where the girl, Hikaru, and her boyfriend Takara are going to kiss, her phone suddenly vibrated. Out of shock, she accidentally threw the manga and it closed. Unfortunately, she couldn't recall what page and what chapter she was in. She is definitely going to kill her phone for that. Then reality struck her. "How can I kill my phone if it wasn't even alive in the first place?" She looked at her phone and saw that it was a message from her friend, Yaya. (a/n: you thought it was Ikuto? screw you! hahaha) Amu, I just sent you a message for no reason at all! :) I hope I didn't disturb anything important! Take care always. That's how the message goes. That Yaya! Saying something like: I'm sorry if I disturbed something important… Well, she shouldn't have just texted me in the first place!! Hmph. Never mind that. Yaya's childishness is cute anyway. After a while, she felt sleepy, so she laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling. But although she is really sleepy, she can't get herself to sleep. She can't believe that she now has a boyfriend. And what's more – her boyfriend is a guy she only knew for a very short time! But at the same time, she really felt so lucky about it. Who wouldn't be if you're boyfriend looks so hot! Without her realizing, she was already imagining how their relationship will go. She was thinking if their relationship will last long. Just as she was imagining things, her so called boyfriend sent her a message containing only a single word - Goodnight. Amu felt her cheeks heat up, not because she was blushing, but because she was mad. Only a single word? He shouldn't have sent a message at all! And as if reading her thoughts, Ikuto sent another message - I love you... She smiled after reading the message. How can Ikuto give surprises like this? At first, he'll make her angry but after a few seconds, he will be able to make her so happy. She decided to reply on this message saying, Goodnight and sweet dreams... At first, she was actually planning to tell him she loves him, too, but decided not to. Girls should also play hard-to-get sometimes, too. It's for the sake of pride, maybe... Well, not really, she was just too embarrassed to get herself to tell Ikuto something like that. It's out of her character, really. After a few seconds, she was already sleeping.

Once she woke up, she saw her clock on the floor. Damn! It seems I threw my clock again while sleeping, huh? Amu knew that there is only 45 minutes left before her class starts. She hurried to the bathroom. After taking a bath, she went out and get dressed. She also hurried in wearing her uniform. It is kind of like a suit but smaller and better. It also has a red neck tie, and red cloth that is around her middle arm but a little higher with a little metal spikkie thing. She also wore a checkered red skirt and fluffy socks. Afterwards, she went downstairs and greeted her mom and dad.

"Ohayo, mom and dad! I'm off to school, see ya!" Amu hurriedly said. Her mom told her to eat breakfast even just a bite of sandwich but told her that she really must get going because she is already late. She ran off the door and ran as fast as she could. It really is a good thing to go to a school near your house, in just a matter of two minutes, she was able to reach her school. Once she is near the gate, she stopped from running and walked instead. In school, she always keeps her cool and spicy aura. That's the bad thing about it, because once she entered the classroom, the homeroom teacher just came short after. Well, at least she wasn't late, right? For the whole time in class, she just exchanged notes with her best friend, Rima Mashiro. They didn't have to listen to their teacher about the lesson anymore. Why should they? The lessons her teacher always discuss are pretty much easy, for them. The two of them are one of the smartest students in the class. Then, the bell rang, which indicates that classes are over. Amu prepared herself for going home. Once she was done, Amu and Rima went outside of school together. Though they want to go home together, they live in the opposite directions so they just shared their goodbyes.

While on her way home, Amu felt like someone is stalking her. She decided to walk faster, but she also heard the stalker walk faster than before. She decided to ran, and the stalker ran as well. Amu was panicking already and out of panic, Amu ran faster. But unfortunately, the stalker was able to catch her. Then she heard him speak: "STUPID! Why were you running?!"Once she looked back to see who was talking, she saw Ikuto. She blushed because of this but after a while, she finally answered back. "I thought I was being followed by a stalker, but it seems that it was only you..."

"Then, why did you just run off like that? You should have at least try to look who was the stalker of yours!" Ikuto reasoned out, emphasizing the word stalker.

"Then you should have just called me instead of scaring me like that." Amu also reasoned out, also emphasizing the words called me. After a long time of bickering who was at fault, they decided to stop knowing that nobody is going to win. After a long time of silence, Ikuto put Amu into his embrace. Amu blushed because of this but suddenly pulled away. "Amu, that's no fun!" Ikuto pouted.

"Why did you hug me without asking for permission?!" Amu told Ikuto.

"Isn't it normal to hug your girlfriend?" Ikuto asked like it was just a normal thing.

"It's just my first time for this couple thing so I don't know what's normal or not... I'm sorry." Amu answered back.

"Well, this is my first time as well, but at least I know a lot about this couple stuffs. Don't worry, I'll slowly teach you."

"O-okay." Amu stuttered because of this. Ikuto then sent Amu a peck on the cheeks.

"That's your first lesson, Amu." Ikuto told her seductively. With that said, Ikuto walked away. And without looking, he said, "See ya later, strawberry-chan!"

"See ya later, too, neko-chii!" That was a simple payback. That's what she thought.

"So you have a nickname for me now, strawberry-chan? That's so sweet!" Ikuto answered after looking at Amu's direction once again.

"You are good in twisting my words, aren't you?" Amu asked, but more of a statement than a question.

"That's my talent." Ikuto said proudly. "Well, bye again!" Ikuto said which ended their conversation. With that, Amu also headed for her house.

Now I know I'm super lucky to have a boyfriend like him.
