Hi this is Rubii here with chapter 1 or chapter 2 if you like to count the prologue as a chapter. Anyway I'd like to say thank you to… all those who added this story to alert, favourite or reviewed (you know who you are.)

Anyway now I'm taking up Questions and Answering them!
(F)AQ or Q&A: (I'm doing them now because it would be pointless to answer them after this chapter)
"I'm confused, is amu supposed to look at the book or not? I mean like when utau told tadase to "make sure she was doing it right" I was confused because she said she wanted ikuto to find love afterwards..."
All shall be revealed soon… anyway on the rooftop she was voicing her true thoughts and with Amu… you can guess the rest…
"does this book by chance encourage Ikuto to be perverted? or will he do that on his?"
No this book does not encourage Ikuto to be perverted… if anything I think he doesn't know about the book…(Utau: how can you not know ) the books secrets will be revealed… very soon

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara. But I do own this plot and the book How to Make Ikuto Tsukiyomi Fall in Love with You

Chapter 1: The Storm After the Calm…

...

I stared at the book… and if it had eyes it would be staring right back at me. I want to. BUT I can't! I made a promise with Utau that I wouldn't… one look couldn't hurt right? You know she gave it to me… if she didn't want anybody to look at it she should've burned it or not write it in the first place. And she did give it to me for safekeeping… it's only fair as a repayment that I get to have a look at it…

I reached my hand over to the book but before I could touch it I lowered my hand. I can't, I made a promise and I was going to keep it. I grabbed the book and locked it in my drawer, then ran down the stairs (with the key) and to the kitchen.

"Mum… can you take care of this?" I said handing her the key.

"What for Amu?" She asked slightly concerned.

"Eh, It's nothing just take care of it until I ask for it. Please?" I pleaded to my mum.

"Okay. I'll take care of it." My mum said. I did my victory dance internally, As if I could break character. Then ran back to my room, feeling relieved that this trouble would be over.

…

I was stupid to think that locking the book in the bottom of my drawer could relieve me of the temptation of opening the book. All night I was tossing and turning, even when I fell asleep all I could dream of was me opening the book and reading it. This book is not as cool as most people think it is. It's a curse, if I had it my way I would shred it, burn it, drown it, throw it off cliff, drown it in acid and finally flush it down the toilet. However, I'm only taking care of this for Utau. So I had live through a sleepless and stress filled night. Whoever said that books are good for you, never ever had this book plaguing their minds.

So as a last resort I picked up my phone and dialled the first number in my phone.

"Brrrriiiinnnggg"

Come on pick up.

"Beep. Beep. Hi. I can't pick up the phone. If you really want to… leave a voice message. However I probably won't have time to answer you back. Goodbye. Beep Beep." I stared at my phone and threw it across the room. Of all the times you don't pick up the phone! If you ever come back to Japan I'm going to murder you.

So all I can do is lie here and wait for morning to come. I turned my head and looked at my digital clock. 4:45. Damn still ages until school. Never in my life have I really wanted to go to school. NEVER! Utau you're ruining my life. Taking care of this book better have some benefits. Utau I hate you so much. I swear one day I'll pay you back. I mumbled to myself and just started at the clock. Waiting for the time to pass.

…

Considering the fact that I'm extremely tired, and annoyed, you must admit that me being early to school is an amazing feat, also considering the fact that I'm usually late to school. So what to do when one is here so early in the morning at school? Well how about a quick trip to the library to read a book, or perhaps going to the computer lab suits you. For me sitting in my seat and thinking about a particular book is the best way to pass the time. Really I hated this, when I give the book back to Utau I'll finally be relieved from the book and its curse.

I sighed really loudly. Really, being early does have some perks. Seeing as no one's around I can be myself and drop the act. Until someone arrives at school and see's me, being totally out of character. But no one should be at school at 7am in the morning. No one likes school that much.

…

Bored I decided to go for a walk around the school to clear my mind. As teachers previously told me that walking was great to relieve oneself of stress… they also said that about sleeping but I'm still extremely tired and stressed about that book.

I walked around the school and saw all the different types of trees in the school garden tendered by the gardening club. Feeling good after walking and taking in the fresh air I walked back inside the school hall and found that a lot more people had arrived. I continued walking down the hall to my classroom until I crashed into a wall in the middle of the corridor. Wait… since when are walls in the middle of the hallway and soft. I looked up and found I crashed into Tadase Hotori. Absolute Genius Amu, just crash into one of the most popular guys in school.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"Hey don't worry." Tadase said really sweet and nicely. "Amu Hinamori."

"Eh? You know who I am?" I asked, shocked that somehow everyone knew my name.

"Yeah, Utau told me you're taking care of 'that' book." Tadase said still with a smile on his face.

Geh, figures he'd know, Utau, Ikuto Tsukiyomi and Tadase Hotori grew up with each other. "Oh" I said melancholy.

"Have you read it yet?"

"Read what?"

"The book."

"Uh, no. Utau said I shouldn't. So I'm honouring my vow and I won't read it." I said.

"Really, I think you should. Who knows what may happen." Really now, Utau's friend Tadase Hotori is telling me to read the book rather than make sure I don't read it. Maybe I should read it. I mean the book is in my bag. My arm instinctively moved towards my bag. No! Why is Tadase tempting me to read the book? Curse you world, why are you making my life hard?

"But, it really is your choice. I can't force you to do something you don't want to." Tadase said, smiling brighter than usual.

I smiled back, "Thanks Tadase."

And we walked to our classroom (amazingly we're in the same class) we were chatting about which teachers we liked and which we didn't really particularly like. For the first time in ages I had an actual friend, and I naturally broke out of my outer character.

"Yo Amu." A voice called out. I shivered. I know that voice fully well. It was Utau Hoshina.

I turned around and saw her, standing there akimbo.

I suddenly turned back into my 'cool and spicy mode,' "What do you want?"

"We need to talk, and take 'that' with you." Utau said to me, her eyes were very sharp… if looks could kill…

…

Utau dragged me outside back to the flower garden. However after we arrived Utau said nothing. So for the first time in my life I took initiative and asked Utau a question.

"Well what do you want? If you want your book back here it is." I took out the book and stretched my hand gesturing for her to take it. She eyed the book with one eyebrow higher than the other.

"Did you read any of the Amu?" She asked with suspicion in her voice.

"Heh. No way. I have better things to do with my time." I said turning my head away. "So are you going to take it or not?"

"Actually Amu. I'm not taking it. I'm giving it to you." She said. And at that moment I froze and lost grip of the book.

"Hey watch it! This book is very important." She said picking up the book and dusting it.

I was absolutely speechless. Seriously why in the world would Utau give me this book. She hates me more than she hates getting dirty.

"Geez. What's wrong with you. I gave you the book to look after in the first place because of these few things. Number one, despite how you act I know that you like Ikuto." I started sweating bullets. If Utau could tell I bet you anything Ikuto Tsukiyomi would. "Number 2, despite liking him you're the only one who doesn't go gaga over him. Number three, I trust you more than anyone, believe it or not. And finally number four, I think you're the only one capable of changing Ikuto. "

"Wait I'm still shocked about number three. You trust me?"

She nodded her head, "despite your monotone voice, you're the only one who doesn't suck up to me and you actually voice your true thoughts. That's the type of person I can trust."

"Really? Thanks Utau. I guess I can truthfully say I occasionally enjoy your company. Anyway now that we're clear about number three, what did you say number four was?"

"I didn't say a number four."

"Uh, yeah you did."

"Uh, no I didn't."

"I'm pretty sure you did."

"I'm pretty sure you need your ears checked."

"And I'm pretty sure you have one second amnesia."

"Any that's not the point. The point is it's time to reveal the secrets of… How to Make Ikuto Tsukiyomi Fall in Love with You." Utau said with a smirk on her face.

I gulped… this is it… I am about to open the legendary book of Seiyo high…
