Attention!! I made a photobucket thingy so you people can see some pictures that I think should be seen. So far in it has what Aarin looks like, the girls dresses for the ball (besides Amu's) and Amu and Utau's hair. Like Utau's straightened hair and Amu's new length.

I'll put the link in my profile so you can see it if you want to.

So you're finally going to put in action?

Alex- Yup Amu, but I'm not sure if you'll be a big fan of this chapter...

Amu- I don't care.

The Crowd- (Cool&Spicey!)

Alex- If you say so… enjoy this chapter! (:

Ran- Chara change!

Amu- Alex doesn't own Shugo Chara! Wait, what?? Ran I'll kill you!


Pain

Amu's POV

My hands clenched the back of Ikuto's black leather jacket. Tear once again ran down my face as I pulled the jacket back and forth, "No Ikuto! Don't leave me, I need you."

He reached behind him to rip my hands off him. Then he turned to look at my face, lifting my chin with his index finger so I would look up into his deep eyes. His mouth opened and closed, pressing his lips into a thin, pained, line. I rested my hands on his chest wanting answers.

Still having my look at him I saw his eyes reflected something, hurt? anger? confusion? I'm not sure. His finger dropped from my chin and he draped his hands over mine. Before I knew it he shoved my hands away from him back to my chest. Ikuto grabbed my shoulder with one hand and with the other held my chin up again.

I looked up to see his wet, pain filled eyes I've always admired. "Amu…" he murmured. Then he dropped his hand and my head dropped down too, so quickly he shoved me into another figure.

Altogether my tears stopped and my head snapped up, "IKUTO!!!" For a few seconds I couldn't see anything and when I looked around there was nothing. There was no sight of Ikuto, I was alone.

"Hinamori-san, what's wrong?"

If my tears didn't stop already, they did now. I realized I wasn't alone, because Ikuto pushed me into another person but… Turning around I saw that it was Tadase is the figure... with his hands on my shoulders. I stumbled away from his hands and reach but tripped over something.

Not being able to keep my balance and my eye sight a little fuzzy I just feel knee first on the assvolt. I howled out in pain as my right arm came up to wipe my eyes and left arm wrapping around the hurt knee, pulling it up so I could examine it.

My knee was pretty disgusting. Already dry and fresh blood was beginning to cake, and I almost missed a strange cross dent in it. Moving my leg a little I whimpered searching the ground. Where my knee had crashed down laid a, now covered it blood, cross necklace on a black leather strap.

I reached over to pick it up and look at it closer. This wasn't just any cross necklace, it was Ikuto's. My hands were shaky but I wouldn't let it go, as if my life depended on it. Then a hand appeared on my cheek, "Let me help you up." I looked at his face, and he smiled genitaly down at me. So I took his hand and after I got up I smacked his hand away, slumping agents a building wall.

"Thanks," I mumbled.

"Now that cat boy is gone, I have nothing to stop me now." Tadase stroked my cheek. His touch wasn't what I needed right now. From all the crying and now my knee with blood loss I was beginning to feel tired, woozy, and exhausted. I jerked my head away so he'd stop touching me. "Aw don't be like that Hinamori-san," his arm slithered onto my shoulders and spinning me to have my head snap up, my eyes grew wide, and my face drained what color that wasn't already gone.

"Wha…" I started to back up shoving him away. With the opening I left Tadase dived down, locking his lips to mine.

This wasn't like him, not like him at all. The kiss wasn't as sweet from when he started as he began to be more aggressive and forceful. Probably because I wasn't kissing him back.

With the last of the strength I had I bit his tongue and shoved him back, "No!"

He whipped his mouth with the sleeve of his favorite old Seyio Elementary hoodie, "With him gone I won't stop. You're all mine now, and I don't think I'll give you up… instead I'm going to keep you…" the gentle boy I once knew backed me agents the wall. He put his arms up so I couldn't escape. Once again he leaned down…


"No, save me…!" I fell off my bed onto the hard wood floor. Scrambling out of my covers I looked into my vanity mirror at my reflection. I looked into see a girl with wide eyes filled with fear starting to drain away. My hair went in all directions besides the fact that what wasn't sticking up was sticking to my sweaty forehead.

I curled up into a little ball on the floor hugging my knees chanting, "It was only a dream." After about five minutes I got up and washed my face. Walking out of the bathroom I flung the towel into a bit and sat at my vanity. Picking up my brush a mini note fell onto the clip box.

It read: Kisike called a chara meeting, so see you later. Love Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia.

Laughing to myself, "No wonder it was silent after I screamed. Mama and Papa were taking Ami out for the day to buy her new clothes. She's just had a big growth spurt and her head is just below my shoulder now. After I controlled the mess of hair I had I put my brush down. Then I braided my hair and wrapped it up into a bun slipping pins in. With just a piece of bangs hanging in my face a pined that back with a black cross clip.

Standing up I walked over to my closet to find an outfit for today. I plucked out a blue and black stripped shirt and white skinny jeans to go with them.

A ring started up as I set my clothes on the bed. Walking over to my desk I say Miki's sketch book opened to dress drawings. Picking the and flipping through I picked up my cell phone, flipped it open, and rested it on my shoulder. Sitting on the bed a started going through the drawings, "Hello?"

"Ah Hinamori-san," it was Tadase-kun. I almost dropped the book, but instead my jaw dropped.


Alex- Yay I liked this chapter!

Amu- I looked like a baby!

Alex- So? I was really good though.

Amu- And Prince was all evil, that isn't like him at all.

Alex- Uhm I kinda said that in the chapter "This wasn't like him, not like him at all".

Amu- Ohh…

Alex- Yes and I want reviews people! It wouldn't kill you.

Amu- Yeah reviews so I can know if it's worth all that crying!

Alex- Hah where's the Cool&Spicey Amu now?

Amu- Hey! Ikuto is the only one who teases me.

Ikuto- (puts his head on Amu's shoulder) what about Ikuto?

Amu- Ahhh!

Alex- Almost forgot... Merry (late) Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa. Whatever you celebrate. And I'm not sure if I'll post up a chapter before so Happy (earily) NewYears too!
