Ikuto: What?
Miyuki: This is where *** **** *******.
Brett: What?
Miyuki: Where *** **** *******!
Amu: Oh screw it.

The teens woke up to Ran screaming. At first, neither knew why, but then they noticed their position. Ikutos' face was buried in Amu's neck, and he was wrapped around her as much as he could. Amu was facing away from Ikuto, but was still holding him close. She had been using his arms as a pillow. When Amu saw how comfortable she had been snuggling with him, she jumped up from the bed like it was toxic.
"What's the rush Amu? I quite liked that position." Ikuto said.
"For one, you're a pervert! Secondly, I have school!" She speed-dressed, after making sure Ikuto was looking away. She prepared her bag, and went down for breakfast. As she headed out for school, she could not help feel that something bad was going to happen. Ikuto left Amu's room for his own school roof. He too could not shake the feeling of uneasiness.
At school over recess, Amu discussed the e-mail with the ex-guardians, Kukai, Tadase, Rima and Nagihiko. She even talked about her dream, including the embarrassing Ikuto parts. She didn't tell them about Ikuto staying over though. The advice they offered had to be the worst ever. In fact the only good idea was Nagihikos'.
"The person says you're out of time... does that mean he will use violence?" Rima stated more than asked.
"You dreamed of Ikuto-nii-san..." Tadase commented.
"I'd watch my back if I were you Hinamori-san! This guy could get dangerous." Kukai advised.
"There was blackness in your dream. The black could mean trouble, which will consume your whole world. And Ikuto being there the whole time could have something to do with his loyalty?" He did not sound to confident, "I'm sorry, I didn't actually read the book, I had to return it."
"What book?" Amu asked.
"Your Dreams and What They Mean. (Do not own, have not read.)"
"Is that a trust-worthy source? I mean it's just a book…" Rima asked Nagihiko.
"Um… maybe?" Nagihiko smiled.
"Idiot." Rima ended the conversation. Then the bell rang, and the group went inside Seiyo middle school. Once again, Amu left the school with a shit-load of homework. As usual, she was complaining her charas, when something black jumped down from nowhere. She was about to scream, when the thing gently put a hand over her mouth. Then she realized it was Ikuto. (Miyuki: DENSE!) "It`s okay, Amu. I`m here to walk you home." When Amu heard this, she calmed down.
"Because of the e-mail last night?" He just nodded. Amus' stomach knots untied at the simple gesture, turning it into a smile. At least someone really cared. All Tadase did was get mad at her dreaming about Ikuto. As the pair walked home, they said nothing. But if anyone made a suspicious movement, Ikuto would grab her hand and pull her close. When they got to her house, Ikuto hid from Amus' sister.
"Onee-Chan! Look what I can do!" Ami exclaimed, and did the splits right at the front door.
"That's great Ami. When did you learn to do that?"
"Today in gym! We were learning gymnastics! And the teacher said I'm talented and look into classes."
"Oh, okay. I'm really tired so I'm gonna go to my room. Tell mama and papa I'm home" Amu said to her sister. She went up the stairs, and regretted being so cold to the first grader. When she got up there, she just sat on her bed. Her charas were shooting her worried expressions; Su even came up and asked if she wanted some cake to cheer her up. Amu shook her head; she was too scared to eat. She got changed and fell asleep instantly, thinking she should have told her parents.
Amu had the same dream as the previous night. The blackness came, Ikuto held her. She yelled at him not to leave. And to her surprise, she woke up to Ikuto, once again, consoling her. "It's okay. I'll stay forever. Shh." Amu realized she was hyperventilating. When she stopped long enough to speak, she asked:
"How did you get here?"
"The window."
"…Did you really mean that?"
Ikuto looked her in the eyes. "I meant every word." Amu buried her face into the chest of the man she trusted. She fell asleep like that… again.
She woke up, sitting up. She was asleep on Ikuto, who was leaning against the wall, and already awake. She tried to get off of him, but she couldn't. He was holding her down. "I-Ikuto! Let me go!"
"No way. I like this."
"Let me go, you pervert!"
"Fine." Ikuto sighed. Amu had been pulling away so hard, she went flying across the room at the sudden release.
"Why are you only nice at night?" She huffed. She once again speed-dressed, and rushed out the door. When she got about half way to school, She felt someone was watching her. She swivelled around to face it. Suddenly, the back of Amus' head exploded with pain, and everything went black.
Miyuki: Yeah!
Amu: I got knocked out? Why wasn't Ikuto there to save me?
Tadase: Amu! I'll save you! *goes into battle* *gets beat up* *KO'd*
Ikuto: I'll save you!
Miyuki: Yeah… we're out of time.
Amu: What!
Miyuki: You heard me! We're out of time.
