New chappie!
Ikuto:Finally!
Koneko:Oh, shut up! don't make me get the stun gun.

I don't own shugo chara!

CHAPTER 4~

Ikuto's POV~

Did Amu just confess in her sleep? Just because I am here, doesn't mean that she could dream about someone other than me!

Oh well, I guess that Amu will have to explain to me what was going on in the morning.

Amu's Dream & POV~

I was running in a field of grass, and Ikuto was chasing me. "Over here, Ikuto-sama!"

I was calling him Ikuto-sama, and I have no clue why. "Suki yo, Ou-sama." (I love you, my king.)

END OF DREAM~

"Suki yo, Ou-sama." I mumbled in my sleep. I giggled, and woke up because my phone was ringing. Ikuto was already awake and the phone stopped ringing. "Ikuto! What time is it?"

I was supposed to meet Utau at the beach at nine, and before Ikuto could answer the phone rang again. I looked at the caller ID and answered. "M-Moshi moshi?" (You can already guess who that is.)

"Ohayo." Utau said in a deep voice.

"O-Ohayo gosaimas." I whispered into the phone and bowed my head.

(Koneko's Translation notes: Ohayo Gosaimas means Good Morning or Good Morning to You, while plain Ohayo means morning.)

"GOMENOSAI!" I yelled once I got there.

"Didn't we tell you not to sleep in?" Rima asked.

"Ah, haha I forgot. Plus its not only me," I pointed to Yaya.

She was asleep and she looked funny. She started giggling. "Hehehe Pudding is nice."

"Pudding?" Utau asked.

"OH~ I should take a picture." Rima said as she took out a camera.

"no, no, I feel bad for her." I said.

"Don't worry." Rima took the picture and forgot that flash was on. Yaya stirred and started to wake up. she rubbed her eyes. "Gomen."

"See, you woke her up."

"Ah, gomen gomen."

We all laughed, and I started to ask Yaya some questions. "Yaya what kind of beach is it?"

"OOOO~ A VERY nice one, Amu-chii."

"Do you have—"

Her eyes turned to chibi-mode. "A villa there? Yes I do."

"She really does!" We all said.

~~~~AMUTO!~~~~~

"Yep, this is one nice beach area…" I trailed off while I gazed at it.

"I WANNA GO SWIMMING!" Utau cried.

"ME TOO!" Rima yelled.

I looked at Utau and Rima. They both had their swimsuits on and they had…floatys.

I sighed. "As long as we're here, I guess we could." I went to go change with Yaya, and we went to the beach.

The veiw was breathtaking! Really! I have never seen such clear waters in Japan before! And I have been in other beaches than this with the Tsukiyomi family. None of them were as good as this.

Me and Utau and Rima gaped at the veiw. I looked at them and we nodded. We looked at Yaya, who was way behind us. "Last one in is a ROTTEN EGG!" I yelled out and we all started running.

Yaya was the last one, and we all laughed.

(Imagine the first opening of Shugo Chara starting here. If you can't imagine, then yeah, you fail. Wherever it ends, it ends.)

Rima and everyone went swimming, and I went to go explore. Utau followed me, and I started walking on some of the rocks. I put my hand on a rock wall that was covered in barnacles.

I took my hand off and walked to the other area without barnacles. "I didn't see that, I didn't see that…" I kept repeating. Utau came up behind me and started whispering things that didn't help.

"Barnacle monsters will eat you alive…"

"AHH!"

She laughed and I retreated every time I heard barnacles mentioned. VERY OFTEN.

Soon, Rima told me that those monsters don't excist.

I sighed in relief.

"Yo! Girls!" I turned to see Kukai, Kairi, Nagihiko, and Ikuto.

Fujisaki Nagihiko-a family friend, was caught up with us around the time Kukai showed up.

Sanjou Kairi-another family friend, who showed up who knows when.

I waved and Yaya splashed from behind. "Ready, Yaya? It's a fire engine! BOOM!"

The splash was strong. Yaya looked shocked. "Ok…Niagira for you!"

"Pololoka!"

"Hurricane!"

"Flood!"

We kept splashing each other. People appeared behind me. "Nade? Lulu? What are you doing?" I asked.

"We can't visit?"

"BEACH PARTY!" Yaya cried and we all sweat-dropped.

Kairi hung out with Yaya, Kukai with Utau, Nagi with Rima. I decided to hang out with Ikuto. But, I decided against it because judging by the look on Ikuto's face, it only meant one thing.

Amu + Bikini = Rape when we get home.

Yeah, not a good combo. I decided to tan instead, and I'm lucky I brought my towel. I set it up on the sand and layed down. It was only mere seconds before my beautiful sun was taken away from me. "Hora, you're in the way of my sun."

The figure moved and I smiled. "Barnacles."

"AHH!" I retreated to the water. I saw Ikuto laughing from my towel. I was breathing heavily, and I seemed mad, so I went straight up to him and threw him off my towel into the water, which wasn't so far away.

I smirked but then changed my expression because Ikuto looked pissed. I started running away and saw Ikuto chasing me. I ran to the barnacle infested spot and took a deep breath and ran through it and jumped into the water. I swam as fast as I could but not fast enough.

Ikuto caught me and held me bridal style. I kicked and screamed. "Mercy, mercy! Please Ikuto, put me down!"

"'Kay."

He dropped me into the water and I didn't know that he would do that. I started to drown.

~~~~~AMUTO!~~~~~

Ikuto's POV~

Amu was gonna get it now.

~Since I feel VERY lazy, ummm, skip to the mercy part and the music should have stopped already…man, I am late.~

"Mercy, mercy! Please Ikuto, put me down!" Amu was screaming. She again forgot to put the honorific so I did what I was told.

"'Kay."

I dropped her into the water and she looked shocked, too shocked. I looked over and I saw a hand sticking from the water.

Amu.

I dove frantically, looking for Amu. I found her, and her eyes were already closed. I brang her to shore, and quickly tried to get her to cough up some of that water that went into her mouth. I pushed on her chest three times, then did mouth to mouth rececetation. I plugged her nose and put my mouth on hers.

This wasn't considered a kiss, but while I was doing this, I was thinking about how heavenly soft Amu's lips were. Soon, she started to cough up water and the color in her face came back. By this time, everyone was already there.

Amu looked at me and then looked away. No blush or anything. The gang looked at her and then at me. She got up and walked to her towel and layed down. I looked carefully at her the whole time from my towel. She would glance at my direction, but always turn her back at me.

I sighed. I did a very stupid and risky thing, I admit that, but I can't help but to think that Amu would have survived that. My head is messing with me right now. I almost killed Amu instead of playing with her.

~~~~~DINNER FOR AMUTO!~~~~~

Dinner came faster than ever because of Yaya's servents and everything. Amu sat at one end of the table while I sat at the other end. We had ramen today, something fun because we all got to see Utau and Kukai battle to see who can finish first. Kukai never learns, because Utau won.

After dinner I went to my room to look out the window. The moon was shining bright. The pale color reminds me of Amu's light porcelein skin, that shines everytime I see it.

I decided to go to sleep. I crawled on all fours to get to my pillows, and fell asleep.

Little did I know, my shining angel was walking out the door smiling to herself.

~~~~~MORNING FOR AMUTO!~~~~~~

Morning came fast again. I felt like I barely got any sleep. Kukai came into my room. I looked at him. He looked like he just woke up. "Utau woke me up, and she will never find me here." He said, as he crashed on the floor.

I yawned and went back to sleep. It was a matter of minutes before I felt a figure come in the bed with me. I looked and I couldn't believe who I saw.

Amu! (You all thought I was Kukai, didn't you.)

but why was Amu in my bed? I never invited her here. Maybe she stopped hating me? She was still in her pajamas.

But then I noticed something. Yaya came in here too and I guessed on thing and one thing only.

Utau was trying to wake everyone up.

Soon, everyone was in my room. Amu was snuggled with me, Kukai was lying on his stomach by the window. Nagi and Rima were holding eachother by the bathroom door.

Yaya had her back turned to Kairi but he had his arms wrapped around her waist.

Gee, what a great time to have a family get together. I sighed and also went to sleep.

~LATER~

Utau woke us up for one reason and one reason only.

To go to the beach.

So we had to get our stuff and head about ten steps to just put our towels down and go back to sleep. That was fine with me and Kukai. We crashed immideatly. Everyone else was playing in the water except for us and one other person.

Amu.

She was probably still scared from almost drowning yesterday. But then I saw Utau looking at the barnacle infeasted wall, and I knew what was up.

But, I went to go sit with Amu anyway.

She looked tired as hell.

Bags under her eyes, her eyes were as dull as anything. I sighed and sat down next to her. I took her head and put on my lap.

In seconds she was asleep. But she found a more comfy spot for myself and her. She put her head on my stomach and I layed down on her towel.

We were knocked out. My love was sleeping on my stomach, and I didn't have a care in the world.

Utau's POV~

I looked over at Amu and I gasped out loud, so everyone looked at me. I pointed to her and there she was, sleeping on Ikuto-sama's stomach. (As you can see, Utau and Ikuto are not related, so she won't be having that brotherly complex going on and shit.)

She looked mighty fine comfy if you ask me. I would ask Kukai but he was zonked out too.

But this…!

This was nothing compared to anything I have ever seen in my entire life.

I just had to take a picture, just had to! And when I looked at everyone else, they were taking pictures too. So I joined the party. We all took some pictures and we started to play again.

~~~~LATER~~~~

Amu's POV~

I was sleeping on something soft, and it wasn't my towel. I opened my eyes a bit, and shut then after not even a second. We were under an umbrella and the sun was behind some clouds, but it was still too bright for a sleepy person.

I tried again and suceeded, and I looked at what I was laying on. Something dark blue…hmm, what could that be?

I looked more to the right and I saw Ikuto sleeping on my towel. So I was sleeping on his chest! (One plus one equals two so yeah, you were.)

I looked over again, and I had to admit, for someone who accidentally tried to kill me yesterday looked more innocient and cuter than normal…woah woah woah hold the goddamn phone. What the hell am I saying?

Just because I love the dude doesn't mean that I have to fantisize about him! But, this can accually turn out pretty good, me and Ikuto can get closer.

I sighed and tried to wake him up. "Ikuto." No response.

"Ikuto."

…Still nothing.

"IKUTO!"

And now he decides to wake up. he looked half asleep when he said, "This isn't my room."

"…You are still half-asleep right? You and your laziness." I muttered.

~~~~~NIGHTTIME~~~~~~

Ikuto's POV~

So tonight was accually the last night, so we all packed up before we went to bed, since we would wear our PJ's on the trip back home so that we could be comfy.

I was walking upstairs when I stopped and saw Amu with a pillow in her hand walking into my room. I walked a little faster and I saw Amu crashed on my bed, with no covers.

Did I mention that nights could get really cold here?

I waldzed over to the other side of the bed and hopped in. I pulled the covers over us and started drifting off.

When I felt someone tugging on my shirt, I knew that Amu wanted to cuddle. "Ikuto, I'm sorry for getting all mad at you."

"I'm sorry for almost killing you."

And now I decide to remember about the night before.

"And, Amu?"

"Hm?"

"Do you remember what you said yeserday night?"

"Nope."

"Well, I will say it in my own way. I love you." I looked at her and she was asleep. "Man, she is the only girl I know that can sleep through a confession."

Normal POV~

When Ikuto finally started to fall asleep, he never noticed one gold eye pop open and smile at him.

~~~~~MORNING AND DEPARTURE~~~~~

When everyone woke up they all left for the bus. Yaya had hired a private bus, one with beds, so everyone took a bed and fell asleep.

But there was a trick.

There were four beds.

So how did all eight of them pair up?

Amu and Ikuto got the top most bed. Ikuto had his arms wrapped around Amu's waist and she was cuddled up into Ikuto's chest.

Utau and Kukai got the second one. Utau and Kukai had some distance between them, but the only part of them that was were their hands. Yeah, they were holding hands.

Rima and Nagihiko were on the third bed. Rima's head was on Nagihiko's shoulder, while he had his arm around her neck.

Yaya and Kairi had the lowest bed, and they looked the same as they did the morning before. Yaya has her back turned to Kairi but he had his arms around her waist.

~~~~~HOME!~~~~~

Amu's POV~

When we got home, most of us (Meaning me and Ikuto) crashed when we got into our rooms. The house didn't change at all while we were gone.

I remembered Ikuto's confession last night. I giggled at the fact that he accually believed that I was asleep.

So know we were even. I subconsiously confessed in my sleep, and Ikuto confessed while I pretended to sleep.

Should I tell him?

I love this story because I can make the chapters really long like this one. Please, can I get more entries in the contest? I will have one every year on different topics just so you know!
