Amu: OichiGal45 does not own Shugo Chara.
Me: Maybe Ikuto a little.. ^-^ JK


Recap:"Amu - chan.." he stared "will you go to the winter formal with me?"

X~x~X

Amu was speechless.

"Tadase -kun.. I- I don't know what to say.. Im-im not even sure if im even going so-"

"Its okay Amu-chan you don't have to lie to me if you'd rather go with Ikuto-"

"No-No! That's not.. I- I mean.." said Amu bright red and hanging her head down in shame.

" I understand Amu ." said Tadase disappointed. "Goodnight Amu.," and with that he dissapeared into the night. Amu held on to the hem of her skirt and tried to run after him, but once she stepped out in the street Tadase had disappeared. Left all alone outside she started to tear up and ran up to her room.

Amu sat on her bed hugging her knees motionless thinking about what she has done. She never meant to hurt Tadase like that.

Why would Tadase think that I would go with Ikuto. Yeah he's a good friend and yes I do admire him but..
"Agh! Nothing is going right!" Ikuto wont talk to me.. Tadase probably hates me."Amu then flipped herself so her face was on her pillow and screamed at the top of her lungs. She picked herself up and hugged her pillow now with tears in her eyes again.
Have I really fallen in love with Ikuto? No! I cant fall in love with him.. No! no! Tadase is the one I love. But then again why every time I see Ikuto I blush and when I speak to him I stutter like crazy. When he looks me straight in the eyes I get butterflies. What is this feeling? It's so confusing I -

Something had interrupted her thoughts. "What the.." There was shuffling noises outside her balcony as if someone was out there. As confused Amu walked towards the balcony door she pushed aside her colorful curtains and saw there was a note on the other side of her door. Amu opened her door revealing the chilly night air and took the note in her hands. She looked around to see if there was someone who had climbed up her balcony, sadly she found no one. Amu stepped back in her room opening the mysterious note.

Amu, I know that sensei asked you to guide me around the school.. So I just want to let you know that I don't need the help. I can handle it on my own, after all I am a stray cat. Amu got irritated from what she has read and didn't bother to read the rest. She crumpled the paper, threw it across the room and went to bed. "Stupid Ikuto," she said covering herself with her covers. NEXT MORNING

X~x~X

Amu woke up late, as usual. She was such in a hurry to gather her things to rush out the door when she noticed the note on the floor from the previous night. Amu picked it up and was about to throw it away when she noticed some small writing on the corner of the page. "Huh?"Amu inspected the piece of paper and read the very last note that Ikuto had written. P.S. can you please meet me in the back of school before the first the first bell rings.

"Why would Ikuto want to see me that early in the morning?" she questioned. Amu looked at her clock and ran out her door.

"Amu-chi your late again.." said Yaya puffing her cheeks .Amu couldn't say a word due to her panting.

"I.. Im… sorry. … Yaya" said Amu having difficulties breathing.

"It's okay Amu." said a blonde girl standing right next to then remembered she had to do something in the morning. What was it again? *RING!

Her eyes widened and remembered to meet up with Ikuto. She had to make up an excuse why she was leaving so that Yaya and Rima wouldn't find out.

"Uhh.. Guys I got to go." she said playing with the hem of her skirt.

"Where are you going?" asked Rima suspiciouslyAmu had to think fast if she wanted to leave. She's not the best liar so she came up with something that was close to believable.

"Oh the Chairman wanted to see me, something about the planetarium?" She said nervously scratching her head lightly."Oh , okay" said Yaya cheerfully. Amu smiled and said goodbye to them.

Amu ran across the school to the back until her legs gave out and stopped in the nearest tree to catch her breath once again. She panted loudly and heard something in the trees. The object that was disturbing the leaves came down and scared the life out of Amu.

"KYAAA!" yelled Amu and jumped back.

"Yo, Amu." Ikuto said coolly.

"Ikuto don't scare me like that!" she yelled.

"Heh, your too adorable." he said messing up her blushing madly fixed her hair.

"Hey! That's not funny Ikuto."

"Your such a kid…" said Ikuto stretching his arms and placing his palms in the back of his sighed annoyingly .

"Tell me what your going to say or else im leaving." she said threateningly. "Okay, okay." Ikuto leaned in close to her face as if about to kiss her and held her hand.

Amu turned the shade of her hair and felt butterflies in her stomach.
He looks so cute when his hair slightly covers his eyes, Oh and his eyes sparkle like…. AMU SHUT UP! You CAN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM!
As Amu was going through her thoughts she didn't notice that Ikuto was talking to her.

"Amu?" he said raising an eyebrow.

"Huh? What?" she said snapping out of it.

"Thinking of me my Amu-koi." said Ikuto smirking.

"N-no! You wish!"

"Okay then look in your pocket." he said still smirking.

"WHAT ! YOU HAD YOUR HANDS IN MY POKET! YOU PERV!"

"Only a true perv would stare at someone blankly and think of them." he said chuckling. Amu rolled her eyes and put her hand in her pocket and felt a small chain. Confused she took it out and held it up in the sun. She stared at the small necklace in amazement, it had a pink "A" on it with a small heart on the corner of it, she then looked at Ikuto.

"Is this for me?" she said her voice slightly cracking. Ikuto didn't answer he just grabbed the necklace and clasped it around her neck.

"Forever and Always my Amu" he said and jumped back into the trees and left without saying another word. Amu stood there for a moment and held the necklace with the tips of her fingers playing with it. She then questioned why would Ikuto just give her such a beautiful gift so sudden. Not even Tadase did that. Did Ikuto actually change his ways? But… *RING!

"Crap im late!" she said and once again ran back through the school grounds trying to reach her class.
