[Author's Note: Sorry, for all the author's notes. XP It's just I don't have room for it in chat (with the Shugo Chara! Cast) and Ikuto and Amu will make fun of me. -_- Anyway, wow, I've gotten so many notifications of reviews, (thanks bendercat! And everyone, of course!) favorite authors, author alerts, story alerts, and story favorites. Is this story really that good? Am I really that good of an author? And please check out my profile to vote for my next story. It's so hard to pick. TT__TT So, I want you guys to pick! Okay, that's all I wanted to say.]
Snowiisan: I've got 12 reviews in One. Freakin'. Day.
Ikuto: That's good, right?
Snowiisan: ...No, that's great!
Amu: Wow, story is coming to an end, huh?
Snowiisan: Yup. Originally, I didn't know it was going to be this...high rated, I thought it was just gonna be one of those regular stories that no one bothers reading. So, I planned about 8-10 chapters? I think...
Ikuto: NO! MORE!!
Snowiisan: -nervous laughter- Don't worry, I have tons of other ideas. About 4 or 5.
Amu: Snowiisan?
Snowiisan: Yes, Amu?
Amu: Shut up. Ikuto, do the disclaimer.
Ikuto: -salutes- Yes, ma'am. Snowiisan does not own Shugo Chara! or any of it's characters.
Snowiisan: -sweatdropps- You actually listen to her...

Amu's POV
1 Week Later
I was sitting in the kitchen table eating my cereal slowly. I hadn't seen look-a-like-Ikuto or the ticket in over a week. I don't even know when the freakin' concert starts! It was written on the ticket!
"Amu-chan."
Is this some sort of sign for something?
"Amu-chan."
What did I do bad? I want to see him, but, I don't hav-
"Amu-chan!"
"W-What?" I asked.
"Let's go to Tsubasa-san." suggested Ran.
"Maybe he knows something about Ikuto's concert." Miki chimed in.
"Tsubasa-san is full of secrets-desu." said Suu. True, but I don't think Ikuto would tell Tsubasa-san. But, Tsubasa-san does discover things on his own..
"Okay, after breakfast." I said. I saw my charas going to the living room to play a game they made up. Ever since that day, that I lost the ticket, I've been depressed. My charas, of course, knew it. I told them about how I couldn't find the ticket, the little 'accident', and about the look-a-like-Ikuto. My friends could sense my mood change too. Even Mama, Papa, and Ami! Was I over depressing too much? Does this happen...for love only? Am I in love? I sighed and ate my cereal one by one.
Depressing will get you nowhere....
Got that right.
I spooned the last spoonful of cereal and drank my milk from the bowl.
"Ran, Miki, Suu, Dia! Let's go!" I yelled to them. I just hope Tsubasa-san knows..
Normal POV
Chairman's Office
Amu stood in front of the Seiyo Academy's Chairman Office.
"Amu-chan, knock on the door! Go, go knock!" cheered Ran.
"You can do it." Dia quietly said. Amu sighed and knocked on the door.
"Excuse the intrusion." She opened the door to find Tsubasa's chair's back faced to her. The chair turned to reveal the chairman or as Amu called it, the older looking Tadase.
"And what may I help you with today?" he asked. Amu fidgeted with her fingers as she tried to find out how to word what she was going to say.
"Um...I-I'm here to ask about I-Ikuto. He gave me ticket saying he's having a con-concert, but I lost it, and I was wondering if you knew any information on it." she said. Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia gaped at her boldness.
"Ah, yes. Ikuto-kun's "His Secret Arrival" concert. Am I correct?"
"Um..y-yes." Amu stuttered. As usual. He got up from his chair and gazed at the cloudy, gray sky. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Ah, yes. The skies foretell that you will meet an encounter so great that it will change your life. Also, your feelings towards the world." he said calmly. However, Amu was frightened. She couldn't imagine something that big. Her imagination wasen't that big, anyway. Tsubasa looked back at Amu.
"Fear not. It's in a good way." he said and smiled warmly. That reassured Amu for a bit. But, deep inside she was still scared. Nothing came in her mind of what would happen. But, that still didn't give her any information about the concert.
"But, how can I meet him again?" she asked, desperate. Tsubasa turned back to the sky.
"I suggest you go where he's having his concert." Tsubasa said, sounding so sure. She nodded and ran out the door with her charas flying after her.

Ikuto's POV
"Ikuto-nya, is it really okay to miss rehearsal?" asked Yoru.
"For the last time, I'm fine. I'm not gonna get caught. Plus, I already memorized the stupid music piece." I answered, irritated with Yoru's nagging. This week, I've been trying to avoid anything pink. Pink cars, pink clothes, pink walls, pink shoes, and more importantly, pink hair. Because, if I see anything pink, I'll go berserk. Literally. All this time, I can't find a freakin' way to find a ticket! Or get a ticket, for that matter. I can't tell dad since he's gonna know I'm desperate. But, I'll find a way. I know it. I smirked to myself. Life is going easy then hard. Like a freakin' roller coaster...

Amu's POV
2 Hours Later
"Amu-chan! We've been walking around for hours!" whined Ran. That's true. It's been almost two hours I'm walking around here. I can't find a single thing that relates to Ikuto! What am I going to do?
"Be patient." Dia murmured. I knew she was saying it to me. But, at least that calmed Ran down a bit.
"Amu-chan! I've got an idea! Why don't we Chara Change?" Ran suggested. It would be faster...
"Okay." was all I said.
"Hop, Step, Jump!" yelled Ran. As soon as she said jump, I was in the air, flying, my pink hair around my face, blocking my vision. I pulled my hair away from my face and behind my ear. I kept flying through the air, and finally was in the secret passage way where Utau had her Black Diamond concert. I sighed. How many times have I been here before? Then something caught my eye. A poster. Ikuto's poster. I snatched it off the store wall and read it.
Tsukiyomi Ikuto's Concert
Name: His Secret Arrival
When: 9.12.09
Where: Main Sakura Drive, Secret Tunnel [I don't own this!]
Time: 9:00-9:30
Enjoy classical music with one of the most admired violinists, Tsukiyomi Ikuto-san. He is the son of one of the world famous musicians, Tsukiyomi Aruto-san. You can meet them, this night, and this night only, here, at Main Sakura Drive, Tokyo. (A/N: Hey, does Amu and her gang live in Tokyo? Or do they live in like a city like Hokkaido, Osaka, or something else? Tell me please if you guys know.)
I widened my eyes at the letter. Ikuto really was coming here, no joke. Good news, I know he's not playing with me. And bad news, the concert's tomorrow! I still don't have the ticket! I looked around frantically towards the door where Ikuto was having his concert. On the door was a big sticker in capital, bold letters saying: TICKETS SOLD OUT
Maybe Ikuto really was famous...
"Amu-chan! We found more about Ikuto!" cheered Ran.I smiled.
"We did, didn't we?" I told her.
"Hey, I think you better get going home, it's getting late, kid." I heard a voice behind me murmur. I turned around and saw the look-a-like-Ikuto. My mood brightened. I don't know why...but whenever I see or hear this voice, I feel warm inside and I brighten instantly.
"Look-a-like-Ikuto!" I yelled, as I ran to hug him. I felt him stiffen, usually I would've blushed but this time, I had good news and I saw him again! I was thrilled. It was kinda weird you would feel this way about a friend...
I felt him un-stiffen and felt his arms snake their way to my little waist. This time I stiffened, but made sure, he didn't notice. I let go of his sides and pulled his arms slowly from my waist.
"Look-a-like-Ikuto, huh? New name? I thought I told you, Ikuto was just fine?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. I flushed. I pouted and crossed my arms.
"Well, uh, I guess I didn't feel comfortable with Ikuto 'cause I always had to emphasize it." I said. A lie. That wasen't what it was. That's not even a freakin' reason! For a fourteen year old! (A/N: I know I said, Amu's thirteen but I changed it to fourteen. So, that means Ikuto is nineteen. ^_^) He smirked and bent down so he was staring right into my eyes.
"So?" he breathed. I felt my breath hitch and a faint blush coming on my cheeks. I puffed my cheeks and looked away.
"D-Don't do that ever again!" I yelled, clearly not sounding angry. I heard him laugh. I never noticed Ran, Miki, Suu, or Dia. They were just standing there giggling. I looked over at them and saw them back away. Huh? I clutched the paper in my hand.
"Huh? What you got there?" he asked, all notes of teasing gone from his voice. He tried to make it sound casual but I heard the intensity and curiosity in his voice.
"Uh..um..this is the guy I was talking about. Ikuto. This is him." I said, handing the paper to him. He stared at me with a expression I had never seen implanted on his features. I stared back, not sure what my expression looked to him. He took the paper and read it. He handed it back to me without and word.
Wow, he's a fast reader..

Ikuto's POV
Wow. I hadn't expected this coming. A poster posted on a store's walls. For once, I'm glad they did something like this. It was a secret so it's technically illegal, but I'll let it pass. I decided to ask her 'the question'.
"But, how are you gonna go in? You don't even have the ticket.." I said. I expected her mood to turn sad but she stayed happy. Almost happier.
"I'll figure out a way..don't worry. I'll get there. I know, I will." she said. I swear I noticed my heart skip a beat. I wasen't the blushing kind of guy, but in my insides, my heart would overreact. Just those words, made me trust her. That's exactly way I loved her, she never gave up. She would keep on going with determination till the very end. I smiled.
"Come on. It's getting late. I'll walk you home." I said, I grabbed her hand started walking towards the opposite direction.
About half way through the walk home, Amu lied her head on my shoulder. I looked over at her and saw that she fell asleep. She was probably spending her whole day outside. I picked her up, bridal-style. I chuckled at the thought of Amu marrying me. Yeah, right. She snuggled closer in my chest.
"Ikuto..." she whispered, dreamily. I stopped dead in my tracks. She dreams about me..
Suddenly, she clutched my shirt and starting nestling into it. I smiled. I knew it Amu, you love me. Ikuto's ears and tail popped out. I leaped onto her balcony. Thankfully, her balcony door was open. This is the second time I dropped her off in her room. I chuckled. I opened her door and walked in. Nothing changed. Her room was still the same. Her charas were asleep in their eggs. I lied her on the bed and pulled the covers over her.
"Goodnight, Amu." I said. I was debating whether I should kiss her or not. Maybe one little peck wouldn't hurt. I kissed her on her forehead and left locking her balcony door.

Snowiisan: Wow. -wipes tears- This was wonderful. In my opinion.
Amu: What the hell!?!
Ikuto: Aww...I kissed her! A dream come true!
Snowiisan: Sorry, I was two days late, wasen't I? Sorry.
Amu: Remember, Review! ^.^
Snowiisan & Ikuto: -gets gun, has the safety latch off- Review, or else. -glares-
Amu: -sweatdropps- Sorry guys, they're the 'violent' type. Just remember to review, and you won't be killed! ^.^
