Hey there! This is Pearl Phemus. I'm so sorry for the late update because it's really hard to juggle 3 stories at the same time. Ugh! I really need to remind myself to not volunteer to write stories or post so many ideas on the net, it's been a real pain doing it. It just like having 3 projects and the deadline is on the same week. I didn't put the conversation between me and the characters because my head is already hurting thinking what they'll say. But still I'll continue this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara or the characters, Peach-Pit does.

Ikuto's POV

It was 6:20 in the morning when I started banging on her door to wake her up and now its 6:45 and she still hasn't woke up. "MORI-CHAN! YOU BETTER WAKE UP RIGHT NOW OR I'LL..." Damn! I can't think of a good threat, I better think of something. "OR I'LL BARGE IN YOUR ROOM" That's your threat?! I rested my right ear on her door to hear if it has an effect…Nope! It doesn't, all I can hear is her snoring even though it wasn't that loud. Well I better open the door and wake her up.

When I opened her door and as I stepped in her room, I saw Amu who was sleeping peacefully. She looked kind when she's sleeping not like when she's awake she can be as brutal as she can be but that's what I like about her. When I walked closer to her and I tried to wake her up, she won't budge so I walked out of her room and I came back holding a wet face towel and I throw the face towel on her eyes.

After a few minutes she got up. "IKUTO! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU" Amu shouted. "Save that for later, it's already 7:00" I said. She throws the face towel and she stands up "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. "You didn't give me a chance" I answered. She grabbed her towel and went to the bathroom, I went downstairs for her to do her business. After I waited for 35 minutes she walked downstairs FINALLY. Why do girls take such a long time?

Amu's POV

I walked downstairs. "Thanks for waking me up Tsuki-kun!" I said and sat down. "No problem" he said and smiled at me.

"Onee-chan! Are you going to school?" Ami asked.

"Obviously!" I said to Ami and patted Ami on her head.

I drank a glass of lemonade and grabbed a sandwich. I stood up "Let's go" I said.

"Onee-chan! You forgot your bento" Ami said while raising my packed lunch.

"Thanks" I grabbed my bento and stuffed it in my bag. "Bye Ami!" I said and waved my hand. We walked out of my house and we walked on our way to school.

When we stepped in the gates of our school, most of the students were looking at us…Or was it me? In school, I'm still 'Cool and Spicy' but less the spice because I'm more approachable now not like before. I smirked and looked at Ikuto "You better get ready 'cause our first period is P.E" I said to Ikuto.

He sighed and hunched his back. "Aw man" He said in a dismayed tone.

My smirk turned into a smile and I tapped his shoulder a few times. "It will be alright" I said, trying to cheer him up.

"Easy for you to say" He said. Guess that didn't work.

Suddenly I look at Ikuto "Hey! Isn't it awfully quiet today?" I asked him.

"Yeah! I just noticed" he said like he don't give a damn

I turned around and saw Yaya running towards me "AMU-CHI!". I took a step back to avoid her then she hugged Ikuto. "Amu-chi! I never knew you were so tall and you smell like a guy" Yaya said. "That's because I'm a guy" Ikuto said. Yaya looked at Ikuto and she took a step back "Tsu-Tsu-Tsuki-Yomi?!" Yaya stammered,

I smiled. "So how's Kairi?" I asked Yaya.

"He-He confessed to me" Yaya said then she was fidgeting her fingers. Wow! That was fast. I saw Kairi pass by. "Hey Kairi!" I shouted and he turned to see who called him then he met Yaya's eyes and both of them looked the other way and blush.

(A/N: Let's skip to P.E. class)

In the outdoor volleyball court, we had a boys vs. girls volleyball match instead of the regular girls vs. girls or boys vs. boys. You asked why? I don't know either so let's just say that Nikaidou-sensei got into some mood today to think that it's going to be fun if girls and boys will be playing together. When we started playing volleyball it was great except that they didn't give Ikuto a chance to hit the ball nor serve it, that's just unfair. When one of our team served, the impact of the ball was a bit strong that made Ikuto fell.

"Nice move geek! You're so untalented like Amu" I heard a snobby voice said. Ugh! There's only one person who'll do that and that was Yamabuki Saaya. I was so pissed at her comment I'm not untalented because I'm a part of the varsity and she doesn't have the right to criticize Ikuto. I turned at her and gave her a cold look "Why? Can't you do any better than criticize people?" I asked her. "Oooohhhh" They said in awe.

I saw her eyebrows twitching "Of course!" She said proudly. "Then bring your team and play with us" I commanded her. She stood up "Fine! Let's go girls" She commanded her team mates and they stepped in the court.

"Heads or tails?" Nikaidou-sensei asked us.

"Heads of course because I'm always on top" She said. Sheesh! Even in tossing the coin?!

Nikaidou-sensei tosses the coin. "Tails will start the game" Nikaidou-sensei said. I went to my position, I dribble the ball few times to warm me up then I started to serve.

Normal POV

When Hinamori Amu served and they started to play. Both teams were trying their best to not let the ball touch the ground, since this game started it never did. The students who were watching the game couldn't stay still on their seats because both teams played really well. You can never guess who'll lose in this exciting game of volleyball (A/N: LOL! I sounded like a reporter). The game lasted for the whole 1st period but who knew it would.

Nikaidou-sensei clapped his hands. "Girls that's enough! P.E. class is over so you need to go back to your classes" Nikaidou-sensei said.

Amu's POV

Nikaidou-sensei clapped his hands. "Girls that's enough! P.E. class is over so you need to go back to your classes" Nikaidou-sensei said.

Finally! That game was really tiring and I was surprised that Saaya played really good, I thought she's all talk and no action but I noticed that in the whole game she's showing off. Figures. I felt a ball hit the back of my head then I turned to see who did this. "I'm sorry Hinamori-san. My bad" She said in her snobby accent. Ugh! If I have the chance to payback I already did. But that's not all what happened. In recess, she was spreading false rumors about me and boy am I irritated.

When the bell rang I didn't bother talking to Ikuto, I just walked out of the room and rushed to the outdoor volleyball court. I've been bottling my anger since our P.E. Class so this is the time to let it out.

As I stepped in the outdoor volleyball, I saw the sun was about to set, I pulled a basket full of volleyballs and I faced the wall. I grabbed a ball and estimated the how far my spike would hit the wall because the distance between me and the wall was very far but I didn't care, I just want to let out my anger and spike this ball so I threw the volleyball high in the air and as soon as the ball was about to fall right above my head then I took a step back and spiked the ball with my right hand.

It felt good that my spike hit the wall but then I remembered Saaya's snobby laugh and my anger started to return. I grabbed another volleyball and spiked it just like I did before then I did it again and again and again. I looked at the basket and saw the last ball. My arm was hurting a bit and my hand was stinging then I hunched my back and placed my hands on my knees. "This is the last spike Amu" I said out loud. I grabbed the ball, threw it up in the air, closed my eyes and spiked the ball.

THUD!

"Ouch!" I heard a voice. I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a guy with messy brown hair sitting on the concrete floor while rubbing his forehead. I walked closer and put my hand on his shoulder "Are you ok?" I asked him.

The guy removed his hand covering his eyes, he looked at me with his emerald colored eyes and he smiled. "That was awesome" He complemented me.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked confused.

He stood up. Whoa! I thought he was short he's taller than me by 5 inches "You have a great spike" He told me.

I smiled at him. "Thanks" I said. "And you are?" I asked. This guy seems interesting plus he's hot.

"Souma Kukai" He said while stretching out his hand.

"So you're Souma who became the captain of the school's soccer team on the last day of school last year. Well it's nice to meet you" I held his hand and shook it.

"And I'm guessing that you're the famous Hinamori Amu" Kukai said.

"You guessed right" I said.

"Hey! Can…" Kukai stopped talking when suddenly there's a boy just the same as our age running towards Kukai.

"Captain! Don't flirt on girls at a time like this" The boy said.

I smiled and put my hands on my waist "Skipping practice captain?" I asked, emphasizing the word "captain"

"I have no time to explain right now" Kukai kissed my right cheek and ran away while the guy ran after him.

I was shocked! My eyes widen, my mouth was slightly open and my cheeks felt warm then I touched my right cheek. I touched my right cheek and my slightly opened mouth turned into a smile. "I found new love" I said while jumping and squealing then I stopped. "I gotta find Tsuki-kun" I suddenly remember him and grabbed my bag but I stopped and saw the scattered volleyballs in the court so I picked it up and put it in the basket then I rushed to his house.

When I arrived outside his gate I climbed it, open the main door of his house a d went in then I walked upstairs. I slammed the door open "Tsuki-kun!".

"What?!" He asked annoyed. I saw him sitting on the concrete floor and his back leaning on the edge of his bed. He stared at me with an annoyed expression, I just noticed that he has a cut at the end of his left eyebrow with a black eye on his left eye and a small cut beside the right side of his lips.

I put my hands on my waist and I raised an eyebrow. "Bullies again?" I asked.

"What else?" He said while wiping the blood beside the right side of his lips.

Ikuto's POV

"I'll get the first aid kit" She said. "No! It's fine I'll spit on it and later put a cold meat on it" I said.

"No way I'll let you do that" She protested and ran out of my room, she's still stubborn as she was before. After a few minutes she came holding a first aid kit on her right hand. She walked closer to me and sat in Indian sit position.

"You know, I'll be nurse someday by treating your wounds everyday" She laughed softly. Amu soaked the cotton bud in alcohol and dabbed it on my cut beside my left eyebrow. It sting a bit but I guess it's fine.

"And do you know that I can see your heart pattern bloomers?" I asked while smirking,

She suddenly sat on her heels while pulling her skirt down (A/N: Its just like how Japanese people sit) then she pressed the cotton bud on my cut. "Ouch!" I said in agony. "Pervert" She shouted at me.

I rested my chin on the palm of my right hand and looked the other way "I wouldn't see them if someone's legs weren't wide open" I pointed out.

She looked the other way "Sorry".

"Yeah, yeah" I raised my left hand up and down. "What did you came here for?" I asked her.

"Hhmm?" She smiled sweetly, looking innocent.

"I know you didn't come here to treat my wounds" I said to her with a don't-lie-to-me look.

She laughed softly again. "You know me too well" She smiled and put a band-aid beside my left eyebrow. "I found a new love" She announced to me.

"Again?!" I said. Geez! I have a rival again?

Amu stood up and walks back and forth slowly. "Bur this is different. He's tall…" Every guy in our school is tall "He's handsome…" What else is new? 'He has brown messy hair and emerald eyes…" Wait! I think I know this guy "He's sports minded, sweet and the captain of the soccer team".

"Souma Kukai?" I asked.

"Yep" Amu stopped walking. "How did you know?" Amu asked me.

"He's the school's heartthrob" I said.

Her face brightens up "Really? I'm so lucky" Amu said.

"That's not what I was trying to say" I said.

"Oh come on. Don't be such a party-pooper" She said and sat down to treat my other cut. "Why can't you be happy for me?" She asked me.

"Because I don't want you to demand me to go to your room again" I said to her.

"You're mean Tsuki" Amu looked the other way and crossed her arms then she looked at me and smiled. "And guess what?" She tapped her index finger on her cheek a few times.

I raised my eyebrow "You want me to kiss you?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No! He kissed me on my cheek" She said.

I rolled my eyes and smiled at her. "We always do that especially when we were kids" She said and placed a band-aid beside the right side of my lips. "There! All done" She said with relief.

"Thanks" I said. "No prob. Now get up and let's go to my house my mom wants us to taste her new cake then you'll help me with my homework" She stood up and dust her skirt if there's any dirt in it.

I laughed. "What's wrong" She asked me. "You're still treating me like when we were kids" I said.

Amu's POV

Ikuto laughed. "What's wrong" I asked him, I didn't say anything funny did I?. "You're still treating me like when we were kids" He said.

"Well what else should I treat you?" I asked him. He stood up and whoa! Has he grown taller? Last year he was higher than me by 4 inches and now I think he's now 9 inches taller than me. He shrugged his shoulders "I don't know. I just think that you're treating me the same as before" he told me.

I straighten my hand and put it on top of my head. "Have you grown taller again?" I asked him. "I don't know…I guess" He said nonchalantly. I grabbed his hand and dragged him out of his room "Come on Mom's waiting" I said.
