Aargh! I ran over my own deadline. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Gomen nasai. I had the rough outline for this chapter written down and ready but then an army of fleas invaded my house. They rode in all guns blazing on the back of my (long lost for 2 weeks) cat, Kitkat and I was on the frontline of defence fighting them off.

I think I'm winning...maybe.

Ikuto: Wow, what a story.

Yoru: I hate fleas!

Me: Me too but they don't hate me. They think I'm tasty. T-T

Ikuto&Yoru: O.O poor Neko-chan.

Yoru: Neko-chan does not own Shugo Chara! Or any of its characters, only her own, nyan.

A/N: This is the edited version. All spelling mistakes and typo's are A-okay.

Last time. A curious Ikuto and Yoru wondered into the mysterious cat girls apartment after following her home only to get distracted by the many toys in the 'cat paradise'. After finding himself tangled in yarn Ikuto was discovered by Yuki who instantly hatched a devious plan to teach him a lesson about trespassing.

Mischief Mayhem

Girls. Time to lock up! Yuki said with a scary grin.

"Roger!" All her chara's replied.

They all seemed to vanish into thin air as they dashed off to close and lock every possible escape route.

"Now. Stray cats that enter without permission should be punished ne, I-ku-to?" Yuki's eyes glinted evilly as she stood over the trapped boy.

Ikuto and Yoru paled. They both had a very bad feeling about this. Ikuto started to struggle harder causing the wires of yarn to tighten around him.

"Freeze!" Yuki shouted shrilly. "Just hold still one sec and I'll cut you loose." Seeing that the boy had ceased his movements, Yuki breathed a sigh of relief before running to the kitchen with her chara's in tow.

The poor confused boy cringed at the string of expletives that were left in her wake.

In the kitchen, Yuki and her chara's were having a tactics meeting.

"Okay girls, here's what we're gunna do." Yuki whispered as the girls crowded around her.

Each one of the girls left the kitchen with a huge grin on their faces. Yuki's was the worst though and Mimi was bouncing with excitement.

Yuki approached the boy slowly to show that she meant no harm and began working on the numerous tangles of yarn.

Once free, Ikuto stretched out his limbs and was emitting a purring sound to show how content he was at finally being free.

"START!" Yuki yelled as she pulled the water gun from behind her back.

She laughed loudly as she watched Ikuto scrambling away, looking like a cat with its tail bushed and its fur stuck on end.

He ran to the back of the sofa, but was immediately disturbed by a loud bark, causing him to fly into the air as stiff as board.

Karin, the cause of the sound, gave a quick thumbs up to no-one in particular then moved on to her next location.

Yoru's head turned from left to right trying to keep up with Ikuto's movements. He was sending himself dizzy watching it all.

"Hey kitten, you're pretty cute. How about a kiss for lil' ol' me?" Sasha cooed to Yoru as she pouted her full red lips.

"Waaahhhh!" Yoru cried as he flew off around the room, tears in his eyes and Sasha hot on his heels.

Ikuto had dashed behind the curtains that cover the balcony doors. He hugged his knees shivering slightly. The phrase 'curiosity killed the cat' had never been more appropriate.

He heard a low growl from behind him. Turning slowly, his eyes grew as wide as saucers as he came face to face with a large dog.

Ino stood behind what wasn't a dog, but was in fact one of her paintings, with a wink and a thumbs up.

Karin joined in with the quiet giggling. She swung her arm down in a large arc a couple of times, striking her guitar and emitting the barking sound from before.

Ikuto bristled for a few seconds before jumping six feet in the air and clinging, hands and feet, from the curtain rail.

Soon after he felt a small set of sharp teeth sink into his tail. He looked down to see a small chara swing by her teeth from the end of his tail. Her pink hair was spiked and messy to mimic a dog's fur and her yellow eyes sparkled with mischief.

The rest of the chara's and Yuki all gathered in the centre of the room. Yuki was on the floor holding her stomach and rolling around as peals of laughter rang around the room.

Sasha, Karin and Ino were floating just above her in a similar state.

"Hahaha, Mimi you're too much." Yuki laughed.

"Yeah Mimi, you're hair really looks like a dogs, just like my painting." Ino chuckled.

Ikuto blinked in confusion before taking a careful look around the room for the 'dog' he thought he heard.

His eyes followed Yoru as he flew over to and behind the painting. He grabbed the top tilting it back and forth. Tapping the front he made out as though he was a tough guy.

"Ha you're not so big and tough are you." He smirked as he punched the painting.

Ikuto blinked dumbly. He felt like a complete fool for falling for such a prank. As stupid and humiliated as he felt, he kinda liked this girl.

"Come down and talk to us. I'll make you a drink." Yuki smiled shyly. She had never had anyone round for tea before.

Well that's it folks. Wonder what they could talk about or what might happen between them. Well until next time. Ja ne.
