Author's Note: Okay, I will TRY to update on Wednesday… or more… no promises… sorry. Anyways, thanks for reading to chapter 4… hopefully you will review too. I do not own Shugo Chara or any of its characters.

I arrived at school and rested my hands on my knees as I rested, breathing hard. I let out a breath of relief after glancing at the clock: 5 minutes to spare.

"Ah, Hinamori-san, good morning." I turned around to see a smiling, blond haired boy walking towards me with sparkles surrounding him.

"Tadase-kun, good morning!" I replied back. I waited for a second until we were walking side by side. I heard a lot of comments like:

"Wa... when did the joker and king get so close?"

"Your right, they've been walking into school together for the past few days"

"Yeah, I heard they were even going shopping together today too!"

I blushed slightly as I heard these comments but when I looked at Tadase he was unaffected.

"Let's hurry, otherwise we'll be late," Tadase turned to me, smiling. "Y-yeah." We started to walk faster. As I looked up at the sky I could have sworn that I saw Ikuto looking down at me. But when I blinked, he disappeared. That pervert, why doesn't he ever go to school too instead of doing unnecessary things, I thought to myself.

-School Ends-

(In the Royal Garden)

"Ah... we finally finished all that boring work," Kukai complained. His hands were behind his head as he leaned back in his chair.

"Now, now Souma-kun, it wasn't that boring," chided Tadase. He sweat dropped as Kukai glared at him.

"Snacks! Yay! Yay!" Yaya cheered while eating a cookie and spinning around the table, "Ne, Amu-chi, we're still going shopping today right? Uwah, I want to buy ice cream. Ne, will you treat me?" Yaya turned on her big sparkling eyes as she turned toward me with a pleading look on.

"Ahaha, y-yeah, we're still going shopping. And s-sure, I'll buy you ice cream, okay?" I replied, laughing nervously at Yaya's ever persuasive baby character.

After a lot of talking, eating (more on Yaya's part), and drinking tea, our guardian meeting finally ended. We walked out of the Royal Garden and went out to the shops. I bought Yaya some ice cream and we did a little window shopping together with the boys just sort of tagging along and watching us.

I was totally lost in marveling at everything in the shop windows... until I heard Tadase shout, "You thieving, black cat! Give it back!"

"Eh?" I turned around to see no other then Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

"Come and get it little king," Ikuto taunted. I saw him holding and rustling through Tadase's school bag.

"Tsukiyomi!" Tadase said threateningly. He ran towards Ikuto but Ikuto simply jumped out of the way.

"Hm, you haven't completed your homework yet?" Ikuto observed, still rustling through Tadase's bag. Tadase blushed a little and tried to get his bag back again.

"Why don't you just give him his bag back? What do you need with it?" I yelled at Ikuto. Ikuto looked over at me, surprised and stopped for a second. That gave Tadase enough time to jump up and retrieve his bag. I could have sworn that Ikuto winced in pain. He shrugged and turned away from us, walking down the street.

Ikuto's POV

Che, that little king, my arm was already in pain before he had to wrench it out of my socket. I rolled it slightly and winced in pain, better head home. As I jumped onto the roof, I peeked into my room and nearly fell. My bed was stained with blood.

I swung into my room and hurriedly took some sheets out of a cabinet. I changed the sheets and made a mental note to wash these sheets before my mom had a chance to see them. I quickly checked my injuries and sighed in relief as I saw that they were healing.

Maybe I'll just stay in my room today, I thought and collapsed onto my bed, looking at the ceiling.

4th chapter: hope you liked it. I would REALLY appreciate it if you reviewed! I have received one already and look forward to hearing other people's opinions.
