Neko-chan: Hey guys I'm back with the next chapter.

Ikuto: Finally. *rolls eyes*

Neko-chan: Ikuto-kun, why are you always mean to me? I always write some Amuto fluff. Why aren't you satisfied?

Ikuto: Because you take too long to write another chapter.

Neko-chan: Well, sorry for having school and still managing to write the story. *sarcastic tone*

Amu: *sweat drop* Anyways, Kawaineko-chan9 does not own Shugo Chara or its characters.

[Utau POV]

'Why can't she speak right now? And why did she sound as if she had trouble breathing? I gotta go and see if she's alright.'

Meanwhile in the Hinamori Residence

[Normal POV]

"Ikuto…stop…" Amu said in between breaths.

"Nah-ah-ah. This is your punishment, Amu-chan." Ikuto said.

"What…am…I…even…punished…for?" Amu managed to ask.

"Because you were a bad girl and bad girls get a punishment. You joined forces with my little sister and your revenge was sweet with the flavor of strawberries, yet painful, because I only got to taste it and not eat the entire strawberry, which was torture for me. So this is a torture in revenge for you torturing me." He said as he stopped and waited for her to catch her breath.

"But your torturing is much more cruel and painful than what I did to you. I even passed out from pain last night." Amu said pouting and crossing her hands in front of her chest.

"Sorry, this time I'll give you a minute or two before I continue." Ikuto said with an evil smirk plastered on his face. Amu went pale, so this wasn't the end of her cruel and painful torture. And as he said, he let her rest for a minute before continuing.

[Utau POV]

When I came near the house I heard some noises so I rushed to the door and rang the bell, since I didn't have a key. If I did I'd probably be already up there saving my friend. The noises stopped and I heard footsteps rushing down and the door flew open. I saw Amu, panting, face red with unshed tears, clothes messy and hair tangled.

"What happened to you?" I shouted as I went inside and started looking for bruises and such, but found nothing, but the hickey-necklace Ikuto made yesterday. Suddenly I heard footsteps and turned around to see Ikuto standing there at the bottom of the staircase. I felt a tug on my jacket and saw that Amu was hiding behind me.

"What did you do to her?" I ask looking at Ikuto.

"I was giving her a punishment." He said with no emotion whatsoever in his voice, only a smirk on his face. This really pissed me off. I stomped over to him and just as I was about to slap him my hand was stopped, held by my friend.

"It's okay, Utau, you don't have to be violent, he isn't hurting me. Though what he does ends up with me hurting myself.*sweat drop*" Amu said and I looked at her in confusion.

"You know I'm ticklish, right?" she asks and I just nod.

"Well he uses that to punish me. And since I laugh very hard my stomach starts hurting and I start having problems breathing from laughter." She said and I desperately tried not to giggle.

"Then why didn't you tell me about it when we were in the mall?" I asked still trying to suppress the laughter.

"Because it's embarrassing, I even fainted last night." She whined.

"You fainted?" I asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah I fainted from the pain in my stomach. And this morning I found myself in a very embarrassing position." She said blushing.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked tilting my head a little.

"Ask that pervert over there." She said pointing at my brother.

"Oh well, at least it was comfortable wasn't it?" he asked smirking and Amu blushed a shade that every tomato would be jealous of. He hit the Bull's Eye I guess -.-'.

"B-BAKA!" she shouted and this time I couldn't hold in the laughter.

"A-anyways what do you mean by an embarrassing position?" I asked through my laughter.

"I was l-lying on top of h-him." She said looking at her feet. Wait, she liked it? This time I was the one blushing.

"Okay I'm just glad he didn't do anything to you." I said as I sighed with relief.

"And what might I do to an 11 year old kid?" asked Ikuto. He was now standing right behind me.

"I-I don't k-know." I said stuttering. Damn it why was I stuttering? That's supposed to be Amu's character.

"My, my. My little sister is having perverted thoughts. But I guess I can expect anything after I saw that you made Amu buy those handcuffs." He said with a sly smirk on his face.

"A-Anyways now that I know that you're safe I'll be going home." I said turning to Amu.

"You might want to stay just to make sure your untrusting brother won't do anything to your best friend." He said with an evil grin as if to make me really stay or creep me out at the least.

"I-I'll trust that he won't. And if he does anything to her I'll make sure he pays." I said the last sentence with venom-filled words and glared at him.

"Oh I'll beware 'The Little Sister's Anger'." He said mockingly which resulted in another death glare from me and a light giggle from Amu.

"Anyways I should get going now. I have an interview at 9:30 tomorrow morning so I have to get some beauty sleep." I said as I started walking towards the door.

"Ok. Good luck on tomorrow's interview, Utau." Said Amu as she walked together with me to front door.

"Bye, Amu, I hope you get some sleep as well." I said as I sent another death glare at Ikuto.

"Thank you, have a good night." She said and smiled at me cheerfully. I waved goodbye and left the sight of my friend.

[Amu POV]

I waved goodbye at Utau until I lost her from my sight. Then I felt two arms wrap around my waist.

"You know you're not getting any sleep tonight as well right?" asked the owner of the arms.

"I know. You're going to continue my punishment, aren't you?" I asked sweat dropping.

"Yes, for your misfortune I am." He said as he dragged me upstairs and towards my room. Really, what kind of punishment is this anyways? Ugh my stomach still hurts from before Utau came. My train of thoughts was interrupted by me being plopped on the bed and Ikuto instantly attacking me. However much I struggle I can't seem to get away from him. I mentally sigh and give up. At least that takes away his pleasure of feeling higher than me. But still, however much innocent tickling sounds, it becomes painful at some point (A.N.: Believe me it really hurts. I can say that from personal experience XD). I mentally sigh again. This really is torture.

"Had enough, Amu?" he asked as he stopped tickling me. My entire body was trembling and I couldn't move at all. I couldn't even answer because I was still trying to catch my breath in between laughs (A.N.: One does not simply stop laughing immediately after they stopped tickling him XD). I guess I was a very amusing sight, since he hardly suppressed his laughter. And as I predicted he really burst out into laughter. He laughed so hard he fell from the bed and started rolling on the ground. This made me laugh again and I clenched my stomach because it started hurting again. I'm sure that if there was a third person in the room just watching us, he'd think we're crazy. But I guess that at some point he'd start laughing as well. I don't know when, but we fell asleep and the next morning when I woke up I looked like a mess. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and fix myself. Ikuto was still asleep and surprisingly didn't wake up when I got up and slipped away from his grip. He would usually wake up in search of his 'heater' and would pull me back in bed before I even realize. Today went pretty fast, we ate breakfast, watched the afternoon show and watched a scary movie, which resulted in me clinging onto Ikuto and hiding my face in his chest, because I was too scared to look and the sounds from the movie crept me out. And every scream made me clutch his shirt tighter. Afterwards I was still scared so I didn't let go of him and even after we went upstairs I was still tugging at his shirt. He looked at me and saw that I was shivering. His face was now filled with guilt, but there was some amusement hidden underneath, because he got to cuddle with his girlfriend and also find another weakness of hers. That pretty much sums up how the fifth day of his stay at my house went. But something makes me think that the thing with 'Easter' monitoring him is just an excuse to stay at my house, well anyways I don't care anymore.

*End of Chapter*

Neko-chan: So, what do you think? It's short, but I was too lazy to write anything more plus I'm kind of running out of ideas.

Amu: I think it's ok.

Ikuto: For once I won't complain and say that it's fine.

Neko-chan: Whoa. Who are you and what did you do to Ikuto?

Ikuto: It is me. I'm just tired of arguing with you.

Neko-chan: Oh. *Hides in a corner and is depressed*

Utau: -.-' R&R
