~Two Can Keep A Secret If One Of Them Is Dead~
Natsume: Rylee doesn't own shugo chara or-
Rylee: Wait, where's Ikuto?
Ikuto: *Runs in* GAKUEN ALICE! *pants*
Rylee: Where have you been?!?
Ikuto: Uhh, to the story!
Rylee: Wait one min-
~With Natsume And Mikan~
Mikan's Jane doe eyes widened. Had she really said that aloud?! Feeling her eyes fill with tears she waited for the slap of rejection. Nervously twirling a wet piece of auburn hair, she waited.
Natsume felt the wind being knocked out of him. Did she just say what he thought she did?! Those three words that struck fear into the core of every Male's soul. He'd been waiting for this but, why now? Sighing, he ran his hand though his jet black hair.
"Mikan, I think you're an idiot," Natsume whispered softly, chucking. Mikan felt as if she'd been slapped. So that's how he felt. Now he'd never speak to her. Ever. Done. Nada. Zip. Feeling tears about to stream down her face Natsume smirked. 'Jackass!' Mikan mentally yelled at him.
"And that's why I love you." he added, voice barely audible, yet Mikan heard loud and clear. Shivers went up and down her spine. Mikan's heart felt as if it were going to stop beating.
"R-Really?" Mikan asked softly, looking into his crimson eyes. Natsume took her hand and wrapped with his. Mikan's cheeks flushed a rosy red.
"Really." His voice was soft and seductive. Mikan felt her legs go weak, her heart sped up. Natsume smiled, they had finally admitted it.
"I could kiss you if we didn't have air tanks!" Mikan exclaimed, a little too forward. Natsume chuckled. This was one of the reasons he'd put down for why he liked her.
"Why not?" Natsume asked, raising an eyebrow. Mikan stopped breathing for a second. And I'll let you imagine what happens next. ~With Hotaru and Ruka~
'Did she just admit that she likes me?' Ruka thought, startled. The Ice Queen's heart had melted for him. But would he accept it? Then he looked into Hotaru's deep purple eyes, and the hurt, confusion, and hope behind them couldn't be faked. Did her eyes always seem so deep?
Hotaru felt the tears. This was so out of character for her usual calm, composed self. Always so cold, she was sure Ruka was thinking she was acting. 'Well this isn't an act!' Hotaru thought, biting her tongue.
"Hotaru I-" Ruka started, but was cut off by her. Hotaru was laughing through her tears.
"It's OK, Ruka, I know...You don't even know me that well, you were probably being nice to me because I'm your love's best friend. Well, go ahead, I'm probably nothing to you so, go on, I won't bother you anymore." Hotaru said, through a fit of tears, sobs, and laughter. Ruka looked at her, about to take her hand and tell her, when she pulled her hand away.
Shaking and shuddering, Hotaru shook her head as if she understood something Ruka didn't. Ruka sighed, and instead of her hand, he grabbed her arm, pulling her to him. Their air tanks clanked together, but he didn't care.
"Would you listen to me for a second? I like you too Hotaru." Ruka whispered into her ear. Hotaru looked into his eyes, shook her head, and smiled.
"I like you too." she whispered, and buried her head into Ruka's chest. They stood there for a while in that position, not moving, but then they parted. Looking lovingly into each other's eyes, they decided to go back to searching for Rylee. ~With Amu and Ikuto-aka-Mr. Tardy-Pants!~
"Ikuto, I don't dislike you. I HATE you." Amu said, with a wave of her hand, dismissing his question. Ikuto glared, then sighed, wait, how do you sigh underwater?!?! . Never mind, back to the story.
"I'm serious Amu." Ikuto mumbled, his face dead serious. Amu flinched. 'This is so OOC of him! I mean, I never knew he could be this serious?!' Amu's thoughts wailed. Nervous, and suddenly self-conscious, Amu crossed her arms over her chest.
"Prove it." Amu demanded, 'He was probably joking!' Amu thought. 'But.....look at him......he's not joking.' a small voice of reason whispered from the back of Amu's mind.
"Mmmk." Ikuto said, stopped, grabbed Amu by the waist, pulling her to him, and tilted her chin, so she was looking at him. Amu gasped, what the hell just happened?! Looking into his eyes Amu saw he was serious.
"Ok, I believe you." Amu replied, her voice shaking. Ikuto was suddenly back to himself and smirked.
"Good!" Ikuto exclaimed, "Now let's find the brat." ((Rylee: *gaspeth* Ikuto's having mood swings! Could this mean.....Amu's gonna be a Daddy! 8D Erin: *grabs the frying pan off the stove and hits Rylee over the head with it* SHUT UP! Rylee: OW! DANG IT! I WAS USING THAT TO COOK! Erin: On with the story!)) Amu's senses where still tingling from Ikuto's touch.
"I'll never understand men with their psychotic moods." Amu grumbled to herself.

~With Tadase and Rima~

"Oh, eff, we better hurry, Ikuto will kill us if anything happens to his baby sister!" Tadase babbled, sounding like a teenage girl who broke a nail.
"I thought Ikuto only had one sister?" Rima asked, her usually blank face now had a look of confusion.
"So did I but, apparently, she was given up to another family but then there was an accident. Now Ikuto's Rylee's guardian." Tadase explained, then motioned for her and him to go help Rylee. Rima nodded, then walked with Tadase to Rylee in silence.
~With Everyone else who somehow magically found Rylee before Tadase and Rima~
Rylee's eyebrows scrunched together in puzzlement. Then looked up and glared at the Lake Monster, it bore a close resemblance to the lockless monster.
"Go fish." Rylee murmured angrily, then grabbed a water proof card from the deck. The monster laughed, or whatever you call a monster's way of expressing joy.
"Rylee?!" Youichi called, from somewhere outside or the cave. "YAY! YO-KOI IS HERE!" Rylee screamed, chucked her cards at the monster and ran and tackle hugged Youichi.
"Poor Youichi...." Natsume said, then took Mikan's hand. 'Snap!' The couple whirled around to see Hotaru and Rima taking this chance to take pictures of the two couples.
"Hotaru! RIMA!" Ruka and Tadase called. Everyone sweat dropped, other than the blackmailing queens, they had left their partners in the dust to get some dirt on people around them.
"Let's go home!" Rylee said with a yawn, holding Yo-chan's hand. Every one nodded in agreement. It had been a long day. Everyone started walking, and when no one was looking Hotaru gave Ruka a small smile.
~To Be Continued, Cause Amu Won't Say She Wuvs Ikuto~ *dramatic music*
Rylee: *grabs Ikuto by the collar of his shirt* WHY WERE YOU LATE?!
Ikuto: I was uhhhh eating pie!
Rylee: *lets go* See, now was that so hard?
Natsume: He's lying and you know it
Erin: Yep, but Rylee's probably bored of bugging him and will find something else to d-OW! *was poked with a stick by Rylee* -Slaps Rylee-
Rylee: Owww! *hides behind Yo-chan*
