Haha, I haven't updated this in forever either. But I'm in a writing mood so here you go~ I know it's short but hell at least you got something. LOLJK. .

She stared at the window, waiting for him to visit her once again. Amu didn't know why but she liked it when he came to her window. She knew he was nothing more than a filthy commoner, but for once, he wasn't something normal in her life. Ikuto was excitement. And that's what she wanted.

Tadase-sama was nice. There was no doubting that. Plus he was beautiful so that didn't hurt. She didn't know what to think, everything was just so crazy. She knew if her father ever found out about the commoners nightly visits to her room, there would defiantly be some be-heading.

She shivered at the thought.

"Cold, Princess?" She jerked her head up at the voice. Ikuto was crouched on her window sill, his hands in between his legs keeping him balanced. She gave off a little shriek on his sudden intrusion and fell backwards off her bed.

"Ow..." She groaned. She heard a snicker above her. She quickly sat up, her face burning red, and pointed an accusing finger at him. "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that!"

He sat on her bed, acting as if he was at home instead of in front of royalty. "Why when you were looking out the window when I came up. Almost like you were waiting for me."

She blushed harder, him having hit the mark, and yelled stubbornly, "WAS NOT!"

The older man just shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

What was she thinking? He wasn't excitement... he was just a bother. She looked over at him. "So what gave you the idea that you could just come into a princess' room that first night."

He shrugged his shoulders again, making Amu even more annoyed. Seeing this he answered, "Well... I guess you could say... I have connections."

What the hell did that mean? Amu wondered. Even though she was deadly curious, she didn't pursue the question further. She sat on the floor in silence. Soon she guess that he grew bored, for he knelt down in front of her and held his face only inches away from hers.

"You know something Princess Amu. You have beautiful yellow eyes. Just like a cat." She blushed and stared at him. He called her by her name. No one had done that except for her parents for as long as she could remember. For some reason happiness swelled within her, but being stubborn she just turned away and huffed.

Ikuto just let out a chuckle. Once Amu turned back around he was gone, nothing but the sound of the wind blowing. She sighed and crawled back onto her bed.

The next morning Amu's father was off doing urgent matters with another kingdom and her mother was busy helping the gardener tend to the red roses. So she grabbed her most normal looking clothes, a simple black dress with pink lacing at the bottom, and put on a jacket and pulled the hood up. She went out into the streets.

She quickly ran out of the castles reach in case someone spotted her and either threw her back into her room or thought she was a intruder and threw her into the dungeon. Didn't matter what happened they were basically one in the same.

Once she reached the main street she smiled to herself. No one recognized her. People bustled about their regular activity, kids ran around the streets laughing and people at the market place were bargaining for food. She slowly stepped down the street, glancing in the shops of clothes and other luxury items. Amu made a mental note to herself that she needed to buy some commoner clothes so she could do this more often.

Everything seemed to be going fine until she turned a corner and someone roughly grabbed her arm. She started to yell but a hand covered her mouth and dragged her into the alleyway. She struggled to break free but the person's grip was too strong. She looked up and it was an older man grinning broadly.

He threw Amu against the hard stone wall. He slammed his arms on either side of her. Grinning, lust in his eyes. Her eyes widened into orbs of fear. She didn't think of the weirdos that attack little girls. And now it was going to happen to her.

"Aww, whats wrong baby?" He said in a booming voice. She closed her eyes as spit hit her face as he spoke. Disgusting. He took his hand and cupped her cheek. She was shaking with repulsive fear.

"Stop. I order you." She said, her voice trembling. "I am the princess!" She pulled her hood down so her pinkish locks could be seen. She was the only girl in the whole kingdom who had pink hair.

It was a bad move.

He seemed confused for a moment, but his smirking grin returned once again. "Oh, then this will be even more fun." He reached up the pull the sleeve of her dress down, but another hand, thinner, grabbed his before he could touch her.

"I think you should stop." Amu had her eyes closed up to this point, but they snapped open to the sound of that familiar voice. She looked up. It was Ikuto.

"Ikuto!" She gasped.

The man's eyes widened in fear.

"Ikuto... Princ-" His eyes sharped and he threw a flying fist at the man's face to silence him. The man went flying to the ground groaning in pain. He quickly grabbed Amu's hand and ran with her through the streets quickly. So the man wouldn't catch up and so people wouldn't recognize her. Once they reached her large castle she was almost out of breath. He led her to the back of the castle. She heard her mothers voice not far off in the rose gardens. Ikuto's head snapped that way and he quickly picked up Amu holding her in his arms.

"W-what are you doing?" She sputtered at him but he made a shhhhh-ing noise and jumped into the tree. He jumped from branch to branch, stumbling once but leaned against the trunk and regained his balance.

When they had reached the princess's room he threw her gently onto her bed and said, "See you later, Princess."
