Elli-chan: I do not own Shugo Chara.
Everyone: -gasp and stare-
Elli-chan: What? Why the stares? Okay. Can you please stop that now...Its really starting to creep me out.
Ikuto: You just did the disclaimer!
Elli-chan: Yea! And it wasn't hard. I dont get why you all complain about it all the time.
Amu: Exactly! If it isn't hard then you have to do it from now on.
Elli-chan: What!? No way. How about we have turns?
Ikuto: ...
Amu: ...I guess so.
Elli-chan: Yay! Its a promise no one break it! -stares at one person in particular-
Ikuto: What? Yea, okay. I know how creepy it feels now to be stared at... weirdly.
Haru: -enters- Hello. What did I miss?
-SILENCE-
Haru: Why is everyone staring at Ikuto?
-SILENCE-
Haru: -sigh- Enjoy.

Amu stomped off, a little irritated. Haru and Yuri stayed quiet knowing Amu all too well, she'd just probably ignore them or get really annoyed for no particular reason that they could possibly be aware of.
Amu suddenly stopped dead in her tracks and sighed "Amu-chan, Is there something wrong?" Haru said softly. Amu turned and let go of their hands. "Ah! Gomen, I almost forgot you were there." Haru and Yuri both sighed and sweat dropped "Same old Amu, huh?" Yuri said "Still it's nice to know that we're all still friends after all these years!" Yuri put her arms around both Amu and Haru's shoulders. Amu giggled. Yuri was certainly very energetic, like she has always been. She's loves sports and she always used to make Amu and Haru play games with her. "She's going to get along with Kukai well." Amu thought out loud. "Who's this Kukai person? And who's go-" Amu cut her off "Well, lets go! I'll introduce you to some people." Amu smiled "But Amu-chan, we have class." Haru informed. "Hehe. Oh yea! I forgot." They all sweatdropped and burst into laughter. Oh the joy of friendship!
X)(Lunch)(X
"Lets go!" Amu said excitedly, leading (more like dragging) Haru and Yuri towards the Royal Gardens. "Okay, okay! We're coming. Geez." Yuri replied.
X)(Royal Gardens)(X
As they entered the Royal Gardens Nadeshiko warmly welcomed them "Hello, Amu-chan, Shizuke-kun! Oh and it seems our other transfer has arrived. You're Shizuke Yuri if I'm not mistaken. Sister of Shizuke-kun." Nadeshiko said with a smile. "Yes. Pleased to meet you?" Yuri looked puzzled for a moment "Oh, Fujisaki Nadeshiko." Nadeshiko finally replied. "Okay! Nice to meet you." Yuri smiled back and turned to the others who introduced themselves. "Pleasure to finally meet Amu's friends." a head suddenly popped up from behind Yuri "And this is my chara Sakura." A chara with light pink hair that had a sakura styled clip and an athletic outfit floated up from behind Yuri. It ran up to the ther charas and they chatted amongst themselves.
X)(End of School)(X
Amu had been overjoyed that she kept on smiling and giggling all throughout the day. Even in lessons which most people would describe as weird. The bell rang loundly signing the end of the day. She walked out of the class still smiling. "What are you smiling at, Amu-koi?" Ikuto said loudly for everyone to hear, especially the 'koi' bit. "Sh-sh-shut up Ikuto!" Amu blushed crimson red. People then started spreading rumors around again. Amu sighed as she walked along the seemed like never ending hallway. Ikuto walking by her side smirking. Then he suddenly held Amu's hand, tightly. Amu tried to pull her hand but his grip was far too strong. Even so, it seemed as though he held it gently. Amu sighed "I cant believe I'm letting this happen."
When they had finally exited the rumor filled school, they both saw Yuri and Haru waiting in the gates. Yuri smiled and waved at the two. Amu tried to run towards her friends but was stopped by Ikuto's grip. Amu took this as a sign to walk so they did. "Hi Amu-chan." Yuri greeted them "Hello Amu's boyfriend." She then added noticing that they were holding hands. "He is NOT my boyfriend!!" Amu denied and rolled her eyes. "Then why are you holding hands?" Yuri questioned "B-because! He just grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go..." Amu said blushing mad. "Okay?" Yuri replied looking suspiciously at Amu. "Oh! By the way, would you like to go home with me? Stay over for the night. Like a reunion party." Amu smiled changing the subject. "We'd love too." Both Haru and Yuri said. "Huh? Where did he go?" Haru noticed that Ikuto had disappeared. "Dunno...Probably gone somewhere to laze around." Amu rolled her eyes "Lets go!" They both nodded and walked off.
X)(Amu's House)(X
Amu, Haru and Yuri entered the house. "Where are your parents?" Haru asked. "They went to Hokkaido for two weeks." Amu said while taking her shoes off. "Does that happen often?" Yuri questioned. "Occasionally. But I don't really mind its because of they're jobs most of the time. They take Ami since she has no school, and besides if they leave her here I can't take care of her during the day." Amu put her sling bag on the couch and opened it so that her charas would be let free. "Do you guys want anything to eat?" Amu asked her friends before heading towards the kitchen. They both shook their heads but Amu went anyway. She came back a while later with a plateful of chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. "Lets go upstairs and find something to do!" Amu smiled at them and they followed her quietly, observing the house. Amu opened the door to her room and put the cookies and milk on her desk. Amu headed towards the big wardrobe and took out some spare pillows and futons. She set it up on the floor silently. Haru and Yuri just watched her, not saying a word. "Thats done!" Amu walked across the room to the door "Feel at home" she smiled at her friends then she was gone. A few minutes later Amu came back with a bunch of snacks but Haru and Yuri weren't in her room. She put the snacks on the floor. And was about to look for them when the two jumped at her. Amu jumped three feet into the air and held her chest. "D-don't do that you guys! You nearly made me have a heart attack!" They both burst into laughter and rolled on the floor. Amu threw a pillow at them and they threw pillows back. Before they knew it they were creating major mess.
Afterwards the three friends collapsed on to the floor. Panting and laughing. "What time is it?" Amu asked "Don't ask me!" Yuri said "Neither." said Haru. Amu sat up and looked at the clock. "It's...6:57." Amu said answering her own question.
They ate dinner quickly and then watched some movies. They ate junk food and laughed and read magazines, played games and laughed some more. It was truly a fun night for them. They even dressed Haru as a girl which of course wasn't much fun for Haru. They had forced him into it. It was just like old times. When they were younger they had done this sort of thing nearly every night. They didn't even think about schools or things like that. So carefree. Everything was completely different. But what will always stay the same was the fact that they're friends.
X)(10:30)(X
It was late now. They were completely worn out and they had school the very next day. It was a very enjoyable night though.
As they all got ready to go to sleep Yuri asked Amu to open the balcony door since it was hot inside Amu's room. Amu hesitated for a moment but did as asked. She didn't want her friends to suspect anything. Besides Ikuto probably wont visit tonight. Amu was relieved at the thought but she was utterly wrong. Just as they lied down a tapping noise could be heard and a tall figure came through Amu's balcony door. "I guess luck's not with me today." Amu sighed. "Yo! Amu-koi." Amu blushed "I'm not your girlfriend!" She nearly shouted.
Ikuto pulled her into his arms and embraced her. "How can you be so cold Amu-koi?" Ikuto said smirking "I always come and visit you during the night and you always leave your door open for me." Amu blushed tomato red and squirmed although she didn't really want Ikuto to let go at all. She wanted him to stay and hold her like this forever. She could fall asleep right on the spot with Ikuto's warmth and protective arms around her she feels safe. Unfortunately some things just don't go the way you want them to. Amu struggled but Ikuto wouldn't let go. The way Amu felt when he held her was exactly the same feeling he gets when he holds her.
Haru and Yuri stared at the two. Mouths agape and eyes wide. Yuri felt her protectiveness break through what seemed like a barrier. She felt like she could punch Ikuto right there. But she tried to control herself since he was holding Amu. She might get hurt.
X)(Amu's POV)(X
I felt so warm and safe in Ikuto's arms. I didn't want him to let go. But if he doesn't then what will my friends think? That would be terrible. The worst thing is I'm liking the situation and I'm doing the least I can do to stop it! How am I going to explain this to them? What are these feelings I get when I'm near Ikuto? Please help me, Kamisama.
