Me: Well it happened! I finally got my new laptop! And I am so happy!

Ikuto: So you can finally write some more chapters to your stories?

Me: Yeah! Finally… I was waiting for forever to get this laptop…

Amu: I'm glad you got it.

Me: I'm surprised you're happy. That just means more romantic scenes with your lover Ikuto.

Amu: He is not my lover!

Shiori-chan: Apparently Peach Pit thinks so cuz they had you say that you could see yourself with him.

Ikuto: So you do feel that way about me.

Amu: -blushes- N-no I don't! She's lying!

Me: She doesn't lie about things like that, Amu-chan.

Kat-chan: You know, I can still take Ikuto anytime and you will be left all alone.

Amu: S-so…?

Me: Just admit you like him!

Amu: Why don't we just start the chapter? Please enjoy!

Lunch came around and the group of friends walked to the roof of the school. That was where they usually ate lunch, with or without Amu. But today, it seemed as though it would be a party. A bread and juice party, but a party still.

Everyone surrounded Amu, and Ikuto placed himself right next to her. Unfortunately, he took the spot that Rima was eyeing. But sitting on the other side of Amu wasn't any worse. She didn't like Ikuto, which was all.

"So, Amu. How does it feel to be back with the living?"

"And what does that mean?"

"Well, when you were dating Tadase, we used to say that you looked like a zombie."

"Oh, yeah. Girls really love being called zombies." Amu said rolling her eyes.

Ikuto put his arm around Amu and drew her close. "I didn't mean it like that. You were still a cute zombie."

"That's so much better."

Kukai let a smile spread across his face. "Uh, oh. She's single now, so he can make his move. He's trying to be smooth."

Ikuto turned to Kukai and smirked. "First off, I am smooth. I don't have to try if it's a natural talent. Secondly, Amu's my best friend. We've always been like this. It's quite natural for us."

"Yeah, yeah. That's just an excuse." Kukai joked.

"Kukai, stop teasing them." Nagihiko chided.

"But they're so cute! You can't just ignore them."

All too soon, the lunch break was over. Amu reluctantly left Ikuto to go back to class. He promised to come and pick her up after school to go on their 'date'. Amu nodded and blushed again at the word date. She believed he did that on purpose.

The last bell of the day rang and Amu found herself rushing out of her classroom. She made a mental note that she had to learn to control herself, but she couldn't help it. She was really excited to hang out with Ikuto.

Amu went out to the front gate of the school and stopped dead in her tracks. Standing outside in the gate was Tadase. He turned and waved, and moved towards her. His smile never left his face as each step was made.

"Amu-chan, you finally came out. Why are you wearing that uniform? I thought we discussed that it made you look trashy. Well, it doesn't matter. So what are we going to do for our date tonight?"

"T-Tadase, what are you doing here…?" Amu stuttered out. Tadase just smiled at her charmingly.

"What are you talking about? I came to pick you up. You are my girlfriend after all. So let's get going." Tadase reached for Amu's hand, but she moved it out the way.

"What's the matter, Amu-chan?"

"Isn't it obvious? She doesn't want to go with you."

Tadase turned around and scowled. "Tsukiyomi Ikuto! What do you want? Trying to harass my girlfriend? Well that's not going to happen!"

"How can you care if I talk to someone who's not your girlfriend?" Ikuto smirked.

"Amu-chan is my girlfriend you simpleton!"

"No, I'm not. I'm sick and tired of not being able to see my friends, and having to put up with your pompous attitude. Like I said last night, I'm done with it. Now just leave me alone and go home, okay?" Amu said, not regretting a word of what she had said. She walked to Ikuto, took his hand, and left, not sparing Tadase a parting glance.

"Wow, Amu. You really told him off. I'm proud of you." Ikuto smirked.

"Thanks, and it felt so good!" Amu laughed, swinging her hand in his. "So, what do you have planned for us to do?"

"I was thinking the amusement park."

Amu's eyes lit up. "Really? I haven't been there in so long!"

"Yeah, well, why do you think we're going?" Ikuto asked. They went to the park through the secret entrance and started on the roller coaster (which Ikuto didn't particularly like) and ended with the haunted house (which Amu didn't particularly like). But they had more than enough fun for the both of them. The two stayed for a while after they were done with their play.

"I was thinking, Amu." Ikuto started. Amu tore her gaze away from the colors of the lights the danced around in the park and looked at him.

"About what?"

"About getting a girlfriend." Ikuto said. Amu widened her eyes and then looked away. She ignored the angry sting that crept into her eyes and looked down.

"R-really? I mean, it probably wouldn't be hard for you to find a girlfriend. I mean over half the school's girl population already worships the ground you walk on…" Amu tried to joke. On the inside, she was devastated.

"Yeah, but thing is, I've had my eye on this one girl for a long time."

Amu looked up at him, ignoring the bad feeling she had in her stomach. She didn't know where this conversation was going but she didn't like the way it had turned. And for as long as she could remember, Ikuto had never even had a girlfriend. So what was with the sudden change in spirit? Pushing those thoughts away, she made herself respond. "So, why haven't you made your move yet?" Amu asked uncomfortably.

"She's been in a relationship for a while. But she just broke up with him."

"W-well, is she pretty?"

"Very much so. She has the most beautiful golden eyes that seem to pierce right in to the most beautiful part of your heart. Her soft pink hair is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It frames her face just right, making her look more angelic than she already is. She is quite amazing."

Amu looked at him surprised. "W-what?"

"The only problem is I don't know if it's too soon."

Ikuto turned to Amu and looked at her with his deep blue eyes. "Is it too soon, do you think?"

Amu blushed a deep red, but kept her eyes glued at Ikuto's face. "W-well, I don't think it is, but it was very sweet of you to ask. Now, it's all up to you. Go in the direction your heart is telling you to go."

"Well, then. I guess I can ask her out now." Ikuto smirked.

"I guess you can…" Amu whispered.

"So what do you say? Will you be my girl?"

Amu was speechless, but she still nodded her head vigorously. Ikuto chuckled and let his head rest on Amu's shoulder.

Amu found words to speak and quietly asked when Ikuto had started liking her.

"Since we were little."

"You jerk! Why didn't you tell me?!" Amu screamed, pushing him.

"You never asked."

Amu felt her anger melt away and let her face spread into a smile. Then she found herself giggle. Ikuto stood up and took Amu's hand to stand her up. Once she was up, he softly placed his lips on Amu's.

"All that matters now is that we're together now, right?" Ikuto said to his blushing girlfriend. Amu nodded and reached her arms around Ikuto's neck, kissing him again.

~End Chapter 2~

Me: Aw, that was sweet, Ikuto!

Ikuto: Well, I try.

Me: Amu-chan, what do you have to say to it?

Amu: Where's Riku?

Shiori-chan: Don't change the subject!

Me: Racing Kat-chan, so what did you think?

Amu: -mumbles something-

Me: What was that?

Amu: Fine! It was sweet, okay?

Me: Yay! She admitted it! Now please read and review!

Kat-chan: Dammit Riku! One more time!

Riku: try all you want. You can't beat me.

Me: Don't make her feel too bad!
