Lena: Well, here's the next chapter! I wonder what else Ikuto asks for? Will he be mean and ask for... what shouldn't be named right now?

Amu: *Whimpers* P-Please tell me that's not...

Lena: Don't worry, I don't write... that...

Amu: *Sigh of relief*

Ikuto: Awww... Lena you're no fun!

Lena: Would it help to tell you that I'm only... well younger than you

Ikuto: You don't sound young...

Lena: I said I was younger than you, not young! Anyways DISCLAIMER PLEASE!

Amu: Lena doesn't own Shugo Chara in any way possible!

Amu gave Ikuto a good whack on the back of the head after what had happened.

Now she was in his room, again, reading the second thing on the list while he was rubbing the back of his head.

2. You gotta show a lot of PDA towards me outside.

Amu rolled her eyes and sighed. "C'mon, let's go outside." She took Ikuto by the hand and dragged him out.

Amu didn't think about this as something done by force, she was actually a little happy about this. She could show full affection to him outside and he wouldn't tease her about anything. She'd never admit this to him but she actually, sorta, maybe liked him a tiny, tiny, tiny bit…

Amu grabbed onto Ikuto's arm and started to talk.

"So, where do you wanna go?" Amu asked.

"There's a park somewhere near here, and it's got an ice cream stand there too." Ikuto shielded his eyes against the bright summer sun. "It's over there." Ikuto pointed straight ahead.

"We're getting ice cream! Yes!" Ikuto chuckled at Amu's childish response. "Let's go!" She exclaimed with a cheery tone as she grabbed Ikuto's hand and they walked a little faster.

Amu saw Ikuto smirk and decided to stop her too real looking affection for a while so he wouldn't suspect anything.

"Are you happy now?" Amu tried her best to sound irritated.

All he did was tighten his hand around hers.

They turned on the path into the park where they saw an enormous fountain in the middle. Water sprayed out of the phoenix's mouth, glistening in the sunlight. There were benches everywhere, but only a few people were there. An ice cream stand stood off to the side, but was easily spotted by Amu, since that was the only thing she was looking for.

"Let's go get some ice cream," Ikuto suggested.

"One chocolate ice cream please," Ikuto and Amu both said at the same time, causing Amu to blush. The man serving the ice cream smiled and handed them their choices, taking the cash Ikuto handed to him.

The two found a bench to sit and Amu started to eat her ice cream, licking the sides first to make sure that it wouldn't drip.

"Oh, careful…" Ikuto leaned over and licked the one part that Amu missed. Amu was sure he was smirking.

"You too." Amu leaned over and did the same.

They ate their ice cream in silence, facing each other. Amu was hesitant to lick the spot where Ikuto had licked but soon, she had forgotten where it was.

"BRAIN FREEZE!" Amu yelled after she had ate her last, large, scoop of ice cream all at once. "My head…" Amu moaned out in pain. She put her forehead on Ikuto's chest while gripping her head, her empty cone falling to the ground.

Amu felt Ikuto place a hand on her head and the other on her chin, tilting her head up. The brain freeze was forgotten and Amu looked up into his deep blue eyes. She found herself lost in them and leaned up towards his lips. She saw his face get closer and closer until she felt his warm lips press onto hers. It seemed to trigger something inside her and Amu closed her eyes and snaked her arms around his neck, pulling him deeper into the kiss. Amu unconsciously let her tongue slip out her mouth and lick Ikuto's bottom lip.

What am I doing?

Amu had never done anything like this. Sure she kissed Ikuto a few times but this? Two words screamed at her: FRENCH KISS! Amu panicked and just before Ikuto opened his mouth, Amu pulled away.

"Uh… so… why don't we go-"

Amu was stopped by Ikuto's lips on hers. Her eyes widened but soon relaxed and they closed. Ikuto seemed to understand that she wasn't ready and they kept it safe.

They kissed for so long that Amu wondered why she didn't suffocate. They were now walking back home, with Amu snuggling onto Ikuto's arm because it was cold. She tried to forget the fact that her shirt was strapless and she was practically sandwiching her chest on Ikuto's arm.

"Um… thanks for the ice cream Ikuto," Amu said in a small voice, breaking the silence.

"Thanks for that kiss," Ikuto replied. Seeing her blush, he smirked.

They got to the apartment and the elevator doors hissed open. Ikuto pressed the button for floor 19. When the doors slid closed, Amu took Ikuto's hand, entwining their fingers. With her other hand, she played with the edge of her shirt.

"Ikuto…"

Ikuto turned to Amu and she stood on her tippy toes, giving Ikuto a quick kiss on the lips.

"I liked today. We should do that again soon," Amu blurted before she could stop herself. She felt her face flush a light pink as she looked away.

Ikuto smirked at her.

"He's being so quiet…" Amu thought, slightly wary of what he could be planning.

The elevator reached their floor and they stepped out, still hand in hand. Ikuto stopped in front of the door to his apartment and turned to Amu. He leaned down and she thought that he was going kiss her again, but his lips went to her ear.

"Either you're a really good actress, or you just like me that much," he whispered. "I don't think it's an act anymore…or that it was at all."

Amu's face flushed tomato red for the fourth time that afternoon. She'd completely forgotten about the list. It said PDA, which meant Public Display of Affection. Amu's thoughts went to the elevator. That wasn't public. Did Ikuto notice?

"Y-Your first guess was right," Amu stuttered out before opening the door and speeding inside. She heard Ikuto chuckle.

Amu ran into Ikuto's, now also hers, room and flopped down on the bed, breathing heavily. Amu noticed her tank top was a little loose and was beginning to fall. Ikuto chose that moment to walk in and Amu quickly pulled her shirt up. She wasn't sure if he noticed or not since he just kept on staring at her and sat down next to her.

"S-So…" Why am I nervous? "I better get to the next thing—

Ikuto pulled her into a kiss. This was their fourth time kissing that day but Amu could never get used to it. Feeling his soft lips on hers was always a shock and it seemed like her first kiss with him every time.

Amu would always feel a little sad when she remembered her first kiss with Ikuto wasn't her first, but she wished it was. It just had to be Tadase. Her first kiss felt weird and a little gross. She wasn't sure if it was just with the wrong person, or that Tadase was a bad kisser, but she didn't want to kiss anyone after that. He totally gave her a horrible experience of kissing. Her second one was amazing though. And it was from the same person she was kissing now.

"Push me away if you want to," Ikuto mumbled between their kiss and his mouth formed into a smirk.

Great. He even teased her while they were kissing. Just great.

Amu didn't want to, but she decided to pull away, just to irritate Ikuto.

"Who said you could kiss me?"

"I did," Ikuto replied. When Amu stared at him blankly, Ikuto sighed and gestured to her pocket, where her list was.

Amu took the piece of paper out and read it.

3. Give me the privilege of kissing you until you're done with the list and the privilege of not needing to respect your privacy.

"That's cheating! You put two in one!" Amu whined.

"You have to do it."

"F-Fine." Amu pouted.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"I-I'll get it!" Amu was eager to get out of sight from Ikuto.

The doorbell rang again, and again, like the visitor was furiously pressing the button.

Amu swung the door open to see a mess of blond curls, looking down to see Rima. She was dressed rather fancily, in a short red dress with ruffles and black heels, and Amu could see makeup on her face as well.

"We're going to a party! C'mon we're gonna be late!" Rima scanned Amu's clothes, from her tank to her skirt. "Hurry and get changed! IKUTO! Give Amu her dress!"

"Wha…" Amu muttered a stupid response.

"Rima, stay on the couch. Amu, come with me," Ikuto ordered, coming from the hall. He grabbed Amu by the arm and dragged her in their room.

"Here's your dress," Ikuto told her, tossing it over to her from the closet.

"You didn't say anything about going to a party," Amu muttered, examining the dress. It was a simple black dress, thankfully, longer than the skirt Amu was wearing. Rhinestones lined the neckline.

"I was about to tell you."

"Well get out so I can cha—" Amu suddenly remembered the list. Crap, he didn't have to leave. "Never mind…"

Amu faced the wall and slowly pulled her shirt over her head. She had faced the wall hoping it would be less embarrassing and easier to forget that Ikuto was there but her cheeks were still flaming. Amu then very hesitantly took off her skirt. She couldn't ignore the fact that she and Ikuto were alone in a room and she was half naked. And her bra was strapless! Why was she stuck with that hentai?

While reaching for her dress, Amu felt a pair of hands grip her shoulders, pulling her closer to their owner. She felt Ikuto slide one of his hands down her arm, wrapping it around her bare waist, pulling her closer to his chest. Amu's burning cheeks reddened even more as she panicked and tried to squirm out of his grip, but he held her even tighter. When she finally gave up on escaping him, Ikuto put his other hand on her chin, tilting her head to look at his face. He then lowered his soft lips onto hers.

Lena: Ohhhhhhh, what happens next! It ends in a kiss! Oh and there's the party!

Ikuto: Parties have alcohol right?

Amu: W-W-What! I'm only 16...

Ikuto: Its okay to get drunk once in a while...

Amu: NO! It is ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY!

Lena: Oh, and I found myself a beta! Yay!

Ikuto: Hooray...

Lena: I loooove your enthusiasm...

Ikuto: Ha... thanks... And hurry up and update!

Lena: Okay, Okay, I got it...

Ikuto: Please R&R!

Lena: Oh, and I think there's a little too much kissing... I'll try to stop that from now on :)

COMMENT FROM BETA

ElementKitsune: I don't know how she comes up with this stuff, and I hope Lena doesn't go too overboard with Amuto, but she probably will. *sigh* I'm Lena's beta.
