AmzyLuvIkuto: Hey there everyone! Thank you for all those who read the last two chapters.

Amu: I STILL can't believe that there are people who read this.

AmzyLuvIkuto: You better.

Amu: Maybe I don't want to.

AmzyLuvIkuto: -glares- You will.

Amu: Uhh... I'm going now.

AmzyLuvIkuto: Fine, whatever. To the chapter now! Nagihiko!

(#) = Author's Notes, they will be at the end of the chapter.

Nagihiko: AmzyLuvIkuto does not own Shugo Chara or Kamichama Karin.

Chapter 3: Confusion

At Seiyo Academy

~Kukai's POV~

I stared at the orange-haired boy who had been introduced to us earlier walking towards me.

"Good morning, what's your name?" he asked politely. I looked at him for a second and then smiled.

"Morning, I'm Souma Kukai, nice meeting you Nishikiori." I said. He smiled warmly at my comment. I smiled back.

"Guess you've already met everyone else, huh?" I asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." He said. I watched him stare at the clock.

"Wow, this late already?" he asked himself aloud.

"Sorry, but I have to go. See you later!" he waved while smiling when he left and I waved back.

~Kazune's POV~

I walked through the hallways of Seiyo Academy, earning some glances from a few students. I was a bit mad because of what I happened earlier though.

Flashback

"Morning Karin. I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko. You may call me Nagihiko if you wish." Said a feminine looking boy to Karin.

"He didn't even use the honorifics, and he's just met her!" I thought angrily.

They talked for a bit before he left the classroom and I followed after. I glared at him for awhile before he noticed and turned around to see what I was fuming about.

"Yes? Can I help you Kujyou-kun?" he said with a warm smile. I scowled at him.

"Why did you call her Karin without honorifics?" I asked, trying to contain my anger.

"Because she said in class to us that we could." He replied.

"It's called being polite." I said.

"Gosh, you don't have to be so defensive about it. I only called her Karin." He said. I was about ready to knock this guy out, but I knew I shouldn't.

"So says the boy that looks like a freaking girl." I said in a harsh tone. I could see that made him mad, because he smiled at me sickeningly.

"No one says that to me but my friends." He said angrily. I prepared myself to take him on. But he punched me in the face and then smiled sweetly and pretended like nothing happened at all, and I just happened to have fallen onto the ground with a blood nose.

End Flashback

I didn't even want to think about it. While I continued through the hallways, I had another boy pass me, his indigo eyes falling on me.

~Ikuto's POV~

I stared at a blonde haired boy and chuckled to myself. He kind of looked like the kiddy king.

"Yo." I said casually. He continued to stare at me with a serious expression.

I decided to introduce myself. "I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto, nice to meet you..."

"Kujyou." he replied.

"Which class are you in, I'm in Perseverance." I asked, trying to make conversation. (#1)"Determination." He answered, clearly not wanting to talk. Then I noticed something. Determination was the class that Kukai, Nagihiko and Amu were in.

"So have you met a girl with pink hair yet?" I asked.

"Hmm? A girl with pink hair?" he asked and turned to me, looking a bit surprised.

"Yes, a girl with pink hair." I said, replying to his airheaded question.

"Hmm. Interesting." he mumbled.

"See you around Kujyou-kun!" I yelled as I walked off.

Now where was Amu?

~Kukai's POV~

I was a bit surprised with myself. Today I'd met Hanozono, Nishikiori, and met up with Nagihiko. I walked around the school grounds, trying to find out where a certain blonde haired girl was. I spotted a bit of blonde hair that resembled hers and ran toward it. To my surprise, it was Hanozono.

"Hanozono, morning!" Little did I know, she was next to a certain blonde haired boy. I was slightly confused, as to why they she was next to him. I mean, they look good together, sure, but their personalities were the exact opposite. I guess opposites really do attract.

"Ah, Souma-kun! Good morning!" she said back and waved. We exchanged smiles and Kujyou just sighed.

"How are you Hanozono?" I asked her.

"I'm fine, what about you?" she replied, following with a question.

"Same as you!" I answered with a huge grin. I then looked at the clock behind Hanozono and stared at it intensely.

"Eh, already that late?"I thought to myself.

"Sorry Hanozono, I have to go now! Talk to you later!" I said along with a big wave. Hanozono smiled and waved back slightly before I turned towards my classroom.

I scanned the crowd of students until my eyes fell on long blonde hair that I knew belonged to who I was looking for. I raced over to her and she turned, her cold eyes staring at me intensely.

"Kukai." the girl said.

"Nice to meet you again, Utau." I replied.

"Kukai.. I.. I was wondering if.. You would.. If you would like to.." Utau said, mumbling and stuttering, her cold stare changing to a flustered face. I looked at Utau in shock as I saw a deep shade of blush grace her cheeks. I smiled and held her close.

"I know, and I'm absolutely fine with it. Actually, I wanted the same thing." I said quietly.

"Thank you." Utau whispered and hugged me back.

~Amu's POV~

I walked through the long hallways and raced to my classroom, but bumped into someone, and fell to the ground.

"Ah, I'm sorry about that, I'm very clumsy!" I said with a weak laugh. The person I bumped into stifled a laugh. Surprised, I looked up to see a pair of indigo eyes meet mine. I jumped back and got up, slowly backing away from him.

"I-Ikuto! What are you doing here!" I asked.

"Just looking for my little strawberry." he replied.

"Two things... One, I'm not yours, and two, I'm not a little strawberry!" I said and pouted. Ikuto stifled a laugh again, and I just glared at him angrily.

"What's so funny!" I yelled in his ear.

"Nothing, you just look cute when you pout." Ikuto said with a laugh. I blushed furiously and turned away from him, heading towards the girls' bathroom, but couldn't because he had wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"Pervert! Let go of me!" I said while struggling to get out of his firm hold. But it seemed to be no use.

"Amu." Ikuto breathed into my ear. I flinched and blushed deeper.

"Be my strawberry, please?" he whispered into my ear, and let go of me. I turned around and stared at him, slightly disgusted, slightly flustered, and slightly shocked.

"No! I'm going out with Tadase!" I said bluntly, and Ikuto looked a bit hurt. Ikuto's trademark smirk changed instantly to a sad gaze. I stepped back and looked at him, hurting inside, but trying to keep a strong face.

"Amu..." Ikuto stared at me sorrowfully. I hated to see him cry, so I ran towards the girls' bathroom once again. Once at the bathroom, I noticed that my eyes were red, as if I had cried while running here, and my mascara started to run down my face. I quickly got out my make-up bag and reapplied my mascara and the rest of my mineral make-up. I sighed and stared down at the sink.

"Ikuto.. I'm sorry that I said such a cruel thing.. I didn't know what to do..." I whispered aloud to myself. In fact, I'd actually wanted to be his girlfriend since I broke up with Tadase last year. He was just becoming a pain, and.. He didn't understand or listen to me...

"Amu." a familiar voice called. I turned quickly to find Rima staring at me.

"Rima, why are you here?" I asked in a calm tone.

"I heard you. What happened, Amu? You know I'll be here for you." Rima said.

"Eh, you heard me? Uh, nothing much." I said.

"Amu, please tell me." Rima insisted.

"Rima, I.." I started to burst into tears and Rima came over to comfort me.

"I didn't mean it, I just.. I didn't know what.. What to say to him!" I cried out.

"Amu, it's not your fault, don't blame it on yourself." Rima said. I told Rima the story of what happened and she just listened attentively.

"I see. You should go make up with him." Rima suggested.

"I know, but Ikuto probably won't speak to me ever again..." I replied.

"Amu, he will. You'll see." Rima assured me.

"Okay, I guess I will tomorrow. Thank you so much, Rima." I said.

"It's fine Amu, I'm just here to help you." Rima said.
